Just bought this and as soon as i used the hardware keyboard i realised this could be a bit of a problem (i have the spelling skills of an infant)
Is there any solution to this?
Same here, I really would like to know.
Is it possible the have the apk from HTC Tatto or Wildfire keyboard ?
An app that auto corrects on the fly is what we need, like blackberries have.

Disappointing if this doesn't exist
Thinking about getting this phone, does it still have T9?
I'd like to know if there is a way too.

yes
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but did anyone find a way to get a spellcheck going on the hardware keyboard?? It's probably the biggest thing i'm missing!
Better keyboard does it,
but it ignores the hardware keyboard symbols
There are apps that can provide it - The one I settled for in the end was Swiftkey - but it's not free.
But as standard it *still* doesn't have a spellcheck or suggest for the hardware keyboard.
*Edit*
HTC_IME QVGA - stolen from the wildfire (or something similar) has a hardware keyboard suggest feature and is free. I have tested it before and it works on mini pro

thanks for the suggestion for swiftkey, but i really prefer keeping the t9 keyboard for the screen input. I just wish i had spellcheck and autocomplete/correction for the hardware one!

After reading around on these forums I went with "Thumb Keyboard". It works perfect and I even like it better than the Swype keyboard on my Droid. It's on the Market and is absolutely worth the $1.87.

I use uber keyboard because it always shows an option for voice entry. Same keyboard I use on my droid. You can get it from the marketplace... But you may need the market fix.
Alternate keyboard
I use SwiftKey.
You can load more than one language at once, scans your mail to anticipate on word patterns you actually use and also has the mike for vocal dictation.
Great keyboard. Available in the market.
Also had some success with smart keyboard but writing both in French and English, word suggestions were a hassle.
Just curious to know what keyboard you guys all use?
I use SwiftKey.
Swiftkey
Maybe would have been better with a poll.
Stock Android Gingerbread keyboard, the "Samsung" keyboard is a joke compared to the stock experience. Sometimes Swype, but not usually.
stock ginger keyboard here.
The awesome thing that is Swiftkey, of course !
Stock Samsung.
Swiftkey

SwiftKey all the way.
Tried a few and I have finally settled on SwiftKey, I used a Desire Z for 4 months so its gonna take some time getting used to a virtual keyboard again but the extra width and bigger keys is a huge help.

How did you get this working, I tried just copying the one over from my old HD2 mod but then cancelled when it said touch input will replace system settings or something along those lines and now get force closes even though I've removed it. Can this work alongside the other keyboards or do you have to replace? If replace, how can I backup the standard please?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks.

The HTC MOD one is really good, i used it with my Galaxy S. you need this version (which i am using): .
Just a little test for the various keyboards out there, over the many months since i first got my first Galaxy s, i have tried many many different keyboards and none, except the HTC MOD one, would allow you to enter anything into the drop down 'search this thread' box on xda's full site which i always found strange, granted, you have to be in landscape and it takes a couple of touches of the box to allow you type anything, but no other keyboard i have tried will allow you to do this! I challenge anyone to find a keyboard that does.
All of you using the Swiftkey or Smartkeyboard....
I tried using both. But in the email composition application neither of those keyboards shows word suggestions...i.e. in Swift key the word prediction bar appears in all apps except email compose mode. In Smartkeyboard, the word suggestions appear in all apps except in email compose mode.
Am I the only one facing this issue???
Please help. Because of the above I am having to live with the default Samsung Keyboard.
Thanks so much for the HTC keyboard link. The stock keyboard is very frustrating. I'd tried lots of others but all had their problems. This has improved my phone tremendously!
Is it possible to install Swype keyboard on CM7 touchpad & if so how do I do it?
I am using Flex T9 keyboard which incorporates "swyping" and it works great.
Thanks I will try that... Though I would prefer genuine Swype just cause used to using that one on my Samsung Epic.
The TouchPad's screen resolution is not compatible with Swype.
Another alternative would be SlideIt.
It will work if you do what I mention in this posting. However, cannot distribute the apk, because swype requests you do not.

TBO, SlideIT keyboard works much better anyway. You dont have to loop for double letters, and it seems to be a lot more accurate. Works right out of the box, no hacks needed.

The biggest problem with SlideIT is that there isn't a way to switch from SlideIT to a different keyboard easily. Since I use ConnectBot, that makes SlideIT too much of a pain to use.

Most keyboards have a button to bring up the "Input options" menu, which contains an option to switch input methods. SlideIT does not.
Download a keyboard, mostly all of them have Swype and customizable backgrounds and everything!
I have the GO keyboard. It's got Swype!!!
I'm having trouble getting it working to be honest :/
The GO Keyboard? It took some fooling around with, but I finally go it perfect.

Long press on any text input box and select "Input options." Select your favorite keyboard and continue typing.

I just downloaded the GO keyboard, but I don't see the option to turn on the swype functionality. Where is it located in the settings?

And thanks for the GO advice, the keyboard is exactly what i was looking for. Even has japanese which i could never find.

This isn't true, I had it included in my earlier releases of XRONified but since it isn't included with the Touchpad, the mods asked I take it out.
It worked just fine too....
Don't know that I could use swype on my TP. It's a little large. I am doing great with thumb keyboard.
I will be looking into this! Thanks!
So I came from the Motorola Atrix, and I have to admit, the Multi Touch Keyboard on that was great. What keyboards are you using? The Android Keyboard seems too small and the Samsung Keyboard has no setting to stop vibrating.
Any way to port the Multi Touch Keyboard from Motorola devices?

I use Thumb Keyboard. I think it was mainly designed for tablets but you can customize it like crazy from font size to height. Use it for my SG2 and Xoom tablet. Best one in my opinion.

Tried SwiftKey X, which I like. Moved to A.I. type Keyboard. (<3 the Windows 8 Keyboard).

I really like this one. I was able to customize it pretty close to what the Mutli Touch Keyboard was like on the Motorola Atrix. I changed the height of the keys to 115% and it has been working pretty well for me. Not a lot of typos anymore. Thanks!
Using swype. Tried it a while ago on my xoom and hated it but since it came preinstalled on this I gave it another shot and have fallen in love!
Created a thread a short time back and myself along with many others seem to really like Smart Keyboard Pro. I was having a really tough time with keyboard accuracy and this program has a calibration tool to tweak it. Worked out great as I was on the verge of returning the phone...

I've tried a bunch of keyboards and this one is by far my favorite.
Just tried out Smart Keyboard (trial for now) and like it. I'm coming from a BlackBerry and am used to holding down a button for a capital letter... is there any Android keyboard that would allow a long press for caps?
AI Type is by far the best tap-style on the market.
Try Go keyboard, lots of setting, themes, swipe and in HD quality.

I have problems writing text messages on my Legend (lots of mistypes). Of course main reason is small screen. Does anyone have suggestion which keyboard app is best for HTC legend?
Thanks in advance.
Swype. It's like autocorrect in a keyboard. Although I think it's only a closed-beta at the moment, so apply on their website!
Next up, I like HTC_IME for its customization and well-developed dictionary. You could type the worst misspelling ever and it will find it and correct it. It's somewhere around XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868131
And then lastly, I like the stock Gingerbread keyboard found in CM7, or another 2.3 ROM. If you don't have it, (like Sense too much?), download a similar one from the Market, such as Perfect Keyboard Free or Gingerbread Keyboard.
Thanks for reply. I have been using Smart Keyboard, but I will try Swype.
I'll stick with SwiftKey X, because of the Good dictionary, prediction and learning sentences you type. Sometimes I get a whole bunch of words out by pressing space only!

I bought SwiftkeyX Keyboard.The Swipe input is not for me.
My vote goes for SliteIT keyboard.

I tried all the keyboard XD SlideIT is for me the best on HTC Legend, it's a Swype-like, but it's even better ! (smoother, better text prediction etc... )
I just installed TouchPal. Works for me. It is free!

I decreased the hight of the keys to see some more of the screen while typing. IF you used swiftkey for a while the autocorrection saves an huge amount of time.
Additional swiftkey has a funktion to detect where you hit the screen when you want to type a letter. This can increase your typing-speed too. See here w*w.swiftkey.net/swiftkey-x-update-brings-blog-learning-heatmaps-and-more
I use SlideIT keyboard on my Legend, got it when Google had the 0.10 cent apps. Great keyboard.
