Hi
Downloaded & installed the gingerbread keyboard for non-rooted devices from xda (gbkb-en.apk).
The install appeared to be successful & i've been into keyboard settings & ticked the box, but still uses the 2.2 keyboard. Tried a restart but no change.
As mentioned, un-rooted & on 2.2.1 os.
Any ideas?
Figured it out, feel free to call me a spaz
You forgot to long press on a text input box to switch keyboards ......... you spaz lol

Does this have a phone keypad layout or just qwerty?
Just qwerty i believe
booo. i still text much faster on phone keypad. won't download this one then. thanks for the info!
Tried installing it twice, restarted and re-installed again. All set up, but when I open the keyboard and click the first button to select a letter.... it just always force closes.
Try better keyboard for android on google market it does the job

Had the same problem. Did you install the one from the market, or from here? I think i have the one from the market, and it's working just fine now.
I use the Steven Lin one which works nicely.

For anyone interested in trying it, go to this QR code and then scroll down in the market to the Free version in the `Related' apps section. If you like that you can opt to get the paid/donate one at any time. A couple of screen shots here.

Hi
Just got a Dual 20 key, I noticed that sometimes you get a full qwerty touch keyboard (1 key per letter) say in contacts for narrowing the search, but when entering email etc you get the qwerty/20 key.
I see people recommending things like Pocket CM keyboard, but clearly the same capability is already built in, but cannot find a way to make the fully qwerty appear in text entry areas?
Any ideas?

I'm interested in this too !
Same here in on the dual 16 key.
I want to use a software keyboard with Vito SMS chat because the hardware slide keypad wont work and the software touch pad wont work either.
The only way is the touch keyboard, but it shifts from the full qwerty to the 20 key, whilst the 20key also wont work with the ap :-( How do you shift from both?
+1... How to??

Hi All,
For some odd reason all of the sudden Voice Input (speech to text) feature disappeared! I cannot find the little microphone in the keyboard. Also swiping across is not activating this feature.
I would appreciate any help.
thanks
Hold down the '?123'<keyboard settings<voice input (make sure it's checked)
That option doesn't exist. I was testing few keyboards and i wonder if i have un-installed the original one !?! When i go to input method i see "android keyboard". should it only say keyboard? sorry for my stupid questions.
If you literally hold down the "?123" key for a couple seconds a pop up will appear that gives a choice of input
Method or keyboard settings, hit keyboard settings.

Thank you. I understood your initial instructions however what i wanted to say earlier is that "voice input" option do not exist. I have other settings that i can change i.e vibrate etc.

I have installed HTC_IME Keyboard and the icon does appear now on the keyboard. However, nothing happens when i click it.
I don't believe the feature works with the hacked HTC_IME keyboard.
So i Flashed my xperia x10a yesterday to 2.1.... after that... I am not able to change the keyboard to android keyboard .. its stuck on default..
Can any one suggest what can I do ..
While at it, I am looking for swype too... i know that the beta program is closed, however, was wondering if i root my phone.. can i just borrow Swype apk from some one on the forum and use it ?
Possible alternative solution.

Two things I feel differently about.
Swipe and Handcent both seem to be "Everyone else is doing it,So I should to" kind of things.
Maybe I missed the boat but in the end I don't get it.
Either way, at least read the thread. You may like it.

You mean if you long press in the typing field you don't get a dialogue to choose the input method?
It should be there. If you're still unsuccessful try repairing/reinstalling via SEUS or PC Companion.
As for Swype, we're not supposed to post the apk here for this reason, however if you search for swype apk online you can find several sources.
I use both Swype and Handcent SMS and I find them both better than the stock apps that came with the phone.
I prefer to see this than the stock SMS app:

As this is Android you can customize the phone to your heart's content. Download, try and uninstall if you don't like it!
So basically, this is the first time downloading apps off of the marketplace and this already occured... (image of problem attatched)

All of my downloads have been stuck like this for the past 2 hrs....
There is no way to cancel it or restart the download (tried everything such as long hold, tapping everything, etc.)
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem? I really want to avoid a hard reset
Yes restart your mobile and go to this link on your computer http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/howto/wp7/apps/delete-apps-and-games.aspx
If it works hit my thanks button.

Umm my point is that the app is just stuck there in downloads....it doesn't even install, so therefore there is no way to uninstall it
Usually when you have multipe downloads in queue, WP7 will just download and install 1 Application at a time.
I dont know why in your case its trying to install 3 apps at a time. Maybe thats what causing it to freeze.
Long hold on the app and clicking on Pause and then Resume should work. Else just try restarting your phone.

This pop up ad has appeared on my home screen twice. I have checked recent app downloads for anything suspicious, and have not found anything. Both times I rebooted my phone and it went away. Has anyone seen this type of pop up before?

I can't get the picture to upload. It's a gift wrapped box hanging on a rope on the top left of my screen. I'll try to get the picture up.
