the new 2.2 update multi-touch keyboard.

the new update gave it multi touch on the keyboard but the ime mod is still lacking. so anyone still using the droid x multi touch keyboard thats if they found a way to stop it from force closing all the time.

Multi touch question, but not speculation...

Ok so if I swype down the notifications bar halfway, and touch either up or down with another finger it goes that way, so it noticed my finger moved or noticed the second finger, either way it sensed that it moved, but if I use a keyboard and touched one letter, than another letter with another finger it thinks im only pressing that original letter that I first pressed, if there is no mt possible why don't these two examples react similar?
Btw this is a question, not a thread on wether 2.1 has multi touch...

The stock keyboard is not multi touch capable, the Droid x has a multi touch keyboard though it runs on 2.1 so the copy I have doesn't work on my hd2 running froyo

post it in the multitouch thread. even if its not a question at least it more on topic in there

[Q] Can't change keyboard after froyo update

I updated my wifes stock ATT streak from 1.6 to 2.2 using qdl tool. Everything went great without any errors. It is currently set for the swype keyboard. The usual setting to switch the default keyboard is not there. The settings for the swype keyboard and the android keyboard are all there. She hates the swype keyboard and wants to switch to the android keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Long press in a text field should bring up a menu, you should see 'input method'. touch that, should bring up keyboards...

Resolved
That worked thanks for the help.

[Q] Smart Keyboard Pro AND Gingerbread Keyboard landscape issues

I switched to Gingerbread Keyboard (ported by Steven Lin) and tried Smart Keyboard Pro, however, both of these keyboards are posing the same problem.
When I switch to landscape mode in 'Compose E-mail', the textbox shrinks to such a degree that I can barely see it as it is blocked by 'Send, Save As Draft, Delete'.
This doesn't happen with the STOCK 2.2.1 keyboard (Touch Input). Anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
I'm using Ice-glacier 1.1.4 ROM btw.

Keyboard problem

So, as the title says; I have a problem with my keyboard. My phone seems to think that the keyboard is always slid open even when I close the keyboard. Does anyone know the cause of this problem or a way to fix this?

probably its a keyboard/hinge sensor issue.

So, I tried flashing some other roms, because I read somewhere it might be related to the rom. At the time I was stock and on froyo, so I flashed CM7 and it seemed to think the keyboard wasn't there, so I flashed a couple of other roms. (Super CM7, Virtuous, MIUI, Gingervillan, and even CM6 and the latest nightly of CM7) For most of them it wouldn't recognize the keyboard entirely, so when you go through the startup steps it says, "Slide open keyboard" I slide open the keyboard and it doesn't recognize it. I can still type on the keyboard, but when selecting a text field, it opens up the landscape keyboard and I can't get the backlight on. That'w what happened on the gingerbread roms, so I tried CM6 and I go back to the original problem of it thinking the keyboard is always open; I then tried the latest nightly of CM7, and it gave me the same problem as CM6 and stock. So that left me totally confused. Is it what rom I'm using or is it a hardware issue. If it is a hardware issue, how can I fix it? Do I just replace the keyboard/hinge sensor?
