On froyo dk17, did anyone notice that when you use the slide out keyboard, sometimes it misses some of the letters you're typing? Anyone else?
On stock rom, my keyboard is fine...

out of curiosity..can you disable swype and try again?
It appears that disabling swype helps the issue but does not completely fix it. For those of us that type quickly it still misses letters, just not as often.
Yep, swype is disabled, thanks

Anyone have problems with this? Seems like no matter how often I delete words or add words it never changes..? The words I delete are still there and the words I add aren't there.

OMG.....I just looked at the keyboard on my HP desktop and if you just change the color to white it looks just like the keyboard on my Dell at work!

Yes, I'm running stock EC05 as well, but I turn Samsung and Android Keyboards off in the Settings. I use only Swype, and Russian keyboard from the Market, because we can't install additional languages on built-in Swype.
I like Swyping but I wanna try something new. What are some good competitors?

You still want swype? If not, try gingerbread keyboard. It's really nice and has no bugs.

No I wanna try something different than Swype

If you want another "swiping" keyboard try SlideIT or load a newer Sense ROM and enable the "trace" feature of the HTC keyboard.
If you want a strictly tapping keyboard, my favorite is SwiftKey X, although a lot of people also like GO Keyboard.
SwiftKey is the bomb. Predictive text at it's finest.

Tried out Swiftkey. Found Swype is still faster for me

I've never used anything faster than Swype.
You have to use SwiftKey for a couple of weeks for it to learn how you text. Now I only have to enter about half the letters to type because it does so well at predicting. With swype I would constantly get the wrong words.

i personally use SwiftKeyX, it's so fast. If you like a Swyping keyboard, you have SlideIT or Go Keyboard.
another vote for swiftkey X
except for this one random time when it wouldn't autocorrect anymore, i was quite sad because it made me realize how much i suck at typing fast on my phone without it :<
I can't get away from Swype. I'm terrible at tapping in words, and Swype gets it right *most* of the time. "Or" and "Our" always get interchanged though. Haven't given other Swype-able keyboards like Slide-It a shot yet.
I feel like I'm fastest at typing with Slideit. I like Swiftkey most for tap styled keyboards though. Sliding is just so much easier for me though. For some reason, only on this phone do I have trouble with tapping keyboards, on my iPod Touch I do perfectly fine, it's just this phone for some reason, and I've tried multiple keyboards.
TouchPal Keyboard is another alternative to the built in swype.

My only dislike about it is lacking in dictionary. I am constantly adding words to it, but all and all it is a good swype alt.

I have to agree that I get the words wrong a lot with Swype. The thing that bugs me about Swype is that if you try to do it fast you almost always mess up and the prediction can sometimes be really bad

FlexT9 is my favorite for tap or trace. Less error prone for my usage than Swype.

I've seen several of my favorites listed here. I prefer SlideIT and then flexT9 both are good replacements for swype

I've tried to escape my dependancy to Swype but its just not happening. Touch pal is probably the best slider ice found since. For some reason it just seems much more tap friendly and a touch more accurate but its annoying coming from Swype that you have to go word by word if you wanna do any correcting. Swype I could just pound in the whole sentence and then go back to correct anything that went wrong. Swype just had a few too many nice refinements like circling double letters, swyping to open the number pad or selection pad. One feature I would love to take back from touchpal is the abillity to swype the space bar to turn on or off autocorrect for when you know your going to be tapping out some broken words like a password.

If Swype just had SwiftKeys predictions it would be flawless

I myself have been giving swiftkey a try the pass few days, and I don't see myself going back to using swype.

That would be quite a combo indeed!
I was having a problem with my tablet that I thought a update might sort so I rooted it and tried a few different roms but am still getting the same problem when am typing something. You know when you make a mistake and you can touch the area you want to fix by either deleting or changing a letter well when i do that the the line wont stay on that spot it just shoots of somewhere else every time
I have the same problem!!!!!

Rename the Samsung keyboard and add .bak to LatinIME.apk (or something like that) and it will not be activated after a boot.
Same thing happened to me with SwiftKey too. I deleted all other keyboards so now SwiftKey is my only keyboard and it's fine

Wouldn`t do that, if you`re custom keyboard crashes for some reason you have none left for input.
What exactly do you do? I have this issue too

Never crashed on me yet dude.
And it's not a big deal anyway, if it did I can always put stock keyboard back in system/apps.
I only ever use SwiftKey so seems pointless having all the others
switch to swiftkey tablet, that fixed the issued for me
How?
