ive downloaded the swype beta onto my phone and i enabled it but its not using that keyboard
All you have to do is long-press on the text box and select input option, then choose the Swype keyboard.

Just wondering if there is a quick way to disable the swyping on the swype keyboard.
Love Swype but sometimes a std keyboard would be easier and I find I am changing back to the HTC keyboard for the odd message and then back again.
What swype needs is a quick way to turnoff the swype funtion and go Dumb mode.
Problem is if I type to quickly it starts picking it up as swypes
Thanks
Check settings, menu, all settings, personal, input.
Tought you could change it over there.
Thanks for the response however not really worried about switching between swype and another keyboard. More hoping there is a quick way to keep swype but make it faster as a normal keypad.
Some of my messages (Txt or Email) Swype is a bit of a hinderance. Trying to touch (tap tap) is painfully slow and so is switching between keyboards. (Bottom center. Tap slightly to the right will prompt for type of keyboard).
Eg entering in information and funny names I would like to tap one of the sype buttons and swype function is temporaily disabled. I then type what I need to (tap tap tap) then tap the key again and the swype function is reenbled and I carry on (swype swiggle swishe)
I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Swype to turn of the "swyping" as you eloquently put it.
Hope they come out with a newer build that could do that and one where you can access the EDITING options with just one button press.
i simply press the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of screen , and toggle to the normal, htc regular keyboard
edit: sorry, overlooked the op's main concern, please ignore

Hey, quick tip
you can quickly access the Editing options by swyping from the 'swype key' to the 'SYM key'
... as if the user has pressed the "search" key after opening the dialer? Any hidden option or something?
I just want to be able to start searching for someone, as soon as I press the "dial" key. Atm, I have to also press "search" in order for the virtual keyboard to appear.
(Also tried "dialer one", but I do not like the T9 keyboard, prefer the full fledged htc-ime or stock android one).
i have a problem when installing keyboards, i have installed the HTC IME keyboard on my phone but the standard keyboard always show's up, yes i have enabled the HTC keyboard but still the standard keyboard shows

Thank you Helped my out when I thought I had bricked my phone.
Can someone point me to a thread that explains how to install and enable SlideIt on NC 1.2 with MN 4.5.25
Thanks

Go into market and navigate to SlideIT.
If you already installed it then just click on the 'open' button and it should start the process to walk you through initializing and choosing SlideIT as your primary keyboard.
If you haven't installed it then install it and when the install is finished choose the 'open' button instead of the 'done' button.
If you have already installed SlideIT and don't want to go into market then go into settings>language & keyboard. Check the box next to SlideIT Keyboard. Exit out of settings and go into any app that requires you to type something in. Instead of just tapping the field to bring up the keyboard, press and hold for a few seconds. This will bring up a menu box titled 'Input Method' (I think that's what it's called). Choose 'SlideIT Keyboard' and you will be good to go.
Hope this helps.

Im on stock Ec05 and while looking at the keyboard setting i found an (kinda) interesting setting. Go to Setting>Locale and Text. Select the default keyboard to Samsung, then go to Samsung keypad settings, select Portrait keypad types, select Handwriting box 1 or 2. Now instead of having a keyboard to type with, you could just write the word out with your finger and it will recognize it. Thought I'd share.
I think the T9 keyboard app has this feature as well. I tried it, and it works, but it is definitely slower than just tapping on the keys.
