Swype, lovin it..

Does this beta app expire or is swype for life and not just for xmas? Sorry for that.... Only thing I am missing is the smiley's from the stock keyboard, but this is a rapid input method. A good quality car wax helps screen swiping. Anybody dislike it?

swpe is way better than the stock keyboard from the x10
sadly the only prob I see is the fact of not being able to select easier a letter to delete it

I love swype but it is not as great on the X10's rudimentary touchscreen.

Well the clearpad 2000 (?) just isn't very good. It often loses track of your finger which results in far more errors than you would otherwise have on a more potent digitizer.

It's not a clearpad - it's a Cypress panel.

How do you use the microphone icon in Swype? Should I be able to press it then just speak?

I'm running stock EC05 and you're right, make the buttons silver instead of charcoal gray and you have the iphone keyboard...

Also...i cant get my phone to stop thinking it's in Paris. Rofl

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.

Touchpal

I've been searching for ages for a better keyboard on my Galaxy tab. Tried them all and remembered my favourite one years ago on winmo. TouchPal,its great and free. It cannot be beaten for the fastest correcting text input,just wanted to share this as I'm very happy to be using it again..

I guess when it comes down to it, you can't beat free , but i'm very satisfied with Smart Keyboard Pro. My favourite.

i like thumb keyboard wrks great on my tab

Smart Keyboard's not bad, but personally, I think Swiftkey's new Tablet Keyboard (although pricey) is amazing. Comfortable to use, good-looking and the prediction engine is amazing.

I tried thumb keyboard and swift keyboard but they don't seem to correct my bad typing quite so well as TouchPal when I write as fast as possible and I think it was swift keyboard, seemed to lose the word prediction when typing in stock email.

You guys should try the 2.3 Gingerbread keyboard. Liking it a lot.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk

Just started using Thumb keyboard this morning and it feels very comfortable especially when typing in landscape. Your hands need not adjust since letters are positioned in left and right side while the numbers are at the middle.

Swiftkey tablet x is really comfortable especially in landcape when it splits

I also use the stock keyboard from Gingerbread, it has everything I need except in connectbot. i have to learn using vi instead of nano in order to stay on the stock keyboard. And is quite painful for every typo in mysql

Perfect Keyboard

Im not sure if this topic has been discussed here but wanted to mention it anyway.
I was amazed at how fast I was typing on the stock Samsung keyboard. The only thing I didnt really like was the settings key being on the layout. There were times that I was accidentaly pressing it which would disrupt what I was typing.
I consider myself as an Android newbie and didn't know there were alternative keyboards out there.
So I went ahead and tried Perfect Keyboard and wow, let me just tell you that I am typing with so much more accuracy and speed. I went ahead and purchased the full version.
I dont work for them or anything but I really recommend the app.

I personally prefer the Swype keyboard. I feel like its much faster than any typing keyboard.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I like Swype. Swyping is relaxed typing compared to playing arcade game with others.

I agree Swype also can make me hold the phone with one hand more lol
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Can't stand Swype. I like thumb keyboard with the WP7 theme and sounds. Use standard layout. I've tried them all always return to thumb keyboard. Highly recommend.

Gave it a two week trial. Couldn't forgive the lag when initially typing. Drove me up the wall waiting on it to catch up. Other than the lag it was decent but still loses to thumb keyboard IMO.

Using Hacker's Keyboard from the market.

Buy the latest version of SwiftKey X keyboard phone version....
It is as good as Swype & it is my personal alternative when I am not using Swype!
Tapashocked via my Galaxy Note with a SwiftKey X !

I own Swift Key X and if you type slow the predictions are neat but it sucks when trying to type fast. Very inaccurate even with the fast typing setting.

What I miss from Swype keyboard is the ability that Samsung one has to detect you are using the pen and switch to handwriting. Swype + hand writing when using the pen, that's what I want

I really like the swiftkey x predictions but the spacebar is too narrow and I keep hitting the period. I love the split 5 inch mode of thumb keyboard - much more comfortable for me.
side note - when handing your phone to others, its best to use a non predicting keyboard as it can really throw them off.
p

Ics keyboard for me with aggressive mode.
Its really easy to type and corrects any miss presses.
Its available from the market for free.

anybody have FlexT9? i cant find it in my market?

I gave Swift Key a try as well. It seemed like it detected my Note as a tablet as an error prompt of some sort appeared when I initially ran it.
"Wrong version, this is a tablet. Please download the correct version" or something likr that. Worked fine but still ended up with Perfect Keyboard. Ü

Im using thumb keyboard for the split layout.

Keyboard and typing problem

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!!!!!
