By "Settings" do you mean in the settings menu, or when you long press and select "Input Method"?

settings menu, where should I long press??? In the keyboard itself it wont work..
Thanks !

I had a similar problem where my swype keyboard completely disappeared. Switching to a different keyboard and back didn't remedy the problem. To get it back, I uninstalled swype and reinstalled it, now it works like new.

Swype keyboard help please.

I have accidentally switched off swype keyboard and only get the stock Samsung keyboard for all typing operations now.
I still have swype settings in the main settings panel but no way to make swype the default keyboard that I can find.
Can anyone help me to reactivate swype please?

I think you can just press and hold the input area and you're presented with the keyboard option to use and you can just pick swype.

Does someone knows how do i use the speech to text on my sms? I'm kinda new to this android thing.
Thanks.

Enabling Swype

This may be a stupid question but how do i enable Swype. I've tried all ways but i can't get it to work.
I've done the tutorial but i still can't get it to work!!!

Press and hold down on the area where you want to enter the text. Select input method -> Swype.

Thanks for that, I wouldn't have found that in a month of Sundays!
Why isn't Swipe in the normal input selection.

Swipe, how to turn on?

This may turn out to be an inane question, but I have had my unlocked Galaxy S I9000 for two weeks and have not been able to figure out how to turn on the Swipe keyboard feature. I have suffered through the tutorial where the feature worked just fine but unless I overlooked something there was no mention of turning the feature either on or off. All of the feature's adjustments under the settings heading appear to be initiated so, what have I missed?
Thank you in advance.

On my hero I have to first go into SETTINGS, LANGUAGE & KEYBOARD, then de-select my htc keyboard and select swype

Hold your finger where you input text, go to input method and select swype.

Thanks again.
It worked.

select input method in jellybean?

stupid question,
In previous versions of android, I could long press a text field to bring up the "select input method" box to quickly switch between keyboards installed on the device without having to leave the app I was in.
I don't seem able to do that in JellyBean?
I have Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed if that makes any difference.
Am I missing something obvious?

bring up the kb and long press space on stock kb

thanks, that's great,
but what I really want to do is switch from Swiftkey 3 Tablet to another input method like the handwriting input that comes with "7notes".

the more input methods you select in 'settings>language and input' the more options should appear to switch between. Or, is that not appearing using swiftkey?

long pressing space in swiftkey doesnt seem to do anything.
I have ticked boxes next to "swiftkey", "google voice typing" and "7notes mazec" in language and input settings.
The only way i have found to use the mazec one is to set it as default input method, but then I have to go back into settings
after I have used it to set swiftkey back as default.

When tap on text entry box a little keyboard icon should appear in notification bar. Swipe down and you should see option to change input method
