Trace keyboard works only in select situations. For example, it will not work when entering a browser address or on search, but will work in messages. Try it there?

I believe you also have to have suggestions turned on to get the trace to work. It has been a while since I have used that keyboard though.

I've been using it too, but I did notice that after a reboot or on occasion that it won't swype unless you switch to another keyboard first, type something, and then switch back.

Same thing here. But, it's working 98% of the time. I have been using it as my main soft keyboard and it's been solid enough to keep going.

All you need to do is uncheck swype, press home, go back to keyboard settings and enable swype. Then it works. No need to type with another keyboard.

Slightly quicker: In text box just change input method to any other keyboard then change right back to Swype. Don't have to leave the text box.

Very nice. Thanks.
The full version of Swype works perfect and better than the beta. It can be found for free if you know where to look

There is no full version yet. Check the swype website.

Hi
Check out this keyboard its fully qwerty keyboard, really great in landscape for touch typing, it includes correct placement of commas, full stop, enter, shift etc

Try thumb keyboard. Its fantastic for spacing out the keys for thumb typing in landscape and portrait.
I switched to a dvorak keyboard, since you can't touch-type on a on-screen keyboard, why do people still need to use qwerty? Using Dvorak gives each hand a more balanced use to type
Thanks, I will give it a shot
how did you manage to switch the keyboard, I cannot find the option to to change Input Method in keyboards settings menu?
Thanks for any tips how to change the keyboard....

nevermind - I already found it by longpressing and input field.... I wonder why they removed it from the settings menu....
thumb keyboard is awesome. a little pricey for most apps but i thought the flyer standard keyboard was impossible to type on in landscape mode.
so +1 to thumb keyboard its 2.49 in the market.
I love it in landscape but in portrait the standard android keyboard is easier to use for me.

Or use thumb keyboard which can have different layouts in different orientations.
has anyone with a WiFi only Flyer gotten Swype to work (i.e., license properly)? Swype is the keyboard I'd like to use.
BTW, can anyone recommend a physical bluetooth keyboard?
I am a registered Swype beta user. Swype installer installed ok (had to turn of Mobile View in browser to get it) and so far it is running ok. Unfortunately the current beta version lacks a lot of languages that are available for the preinstalled devices....

The new Swype 3.0 beta will now work with WiFi-only devices. I got it working on my Flyer. But it has some serious bugs. It is not really useable in the Notes application.
On Honeycomb, the 3.0 Swype has a resizable keyboard which is absolutely great in landscape mode. But I won't be fully satisfied until we have one keyboard with the features of Swype + Thumb Keyboard + Slide-IT + Hacker's Keyboard. Each of those keyboards has some unique features that I like.
I have the Sprint View and it came with swype installed. Of course it is an older version. Not usable in my opinion..have to swipe too far on the View/Flyer. I tried Swiftkey tablet and it installs....but isn't great for the screen size. It's too small. Plus it does not work in the notes app.

Did you try it in a text message? I noticed that when I attempt to trace in a something like market, for instance, the trace doesn't work, but it did while I was texting.
It does have swype installed as well, but I can't stand swype personally. Luckily Amazon App store had Flex9 (shapewriter) for free so I use that. Pecking at keys is so tiresome and "swyping" is much much better, almost faster than physical keyboards.

Same for me here. For texts, the tracing works but for some other fields, it's hunt and peck only.

When you come to Keyboards, iphone is nothing to compare. You can try Swiftkey or Swype. These are all good to me.

You are very welcome. Glad you find what you want.
SwiftKey type method is good, thanks very much.
The stock keyboard is actually really accurate after you calibrtate it. before its crap... but after calibration its way better.
I find swift key annoying at times. Anything else out there? I love the z10 keyboard. Flicking the words onto the page. I remember on older versions of swift key you were able to choose what type of texter you are, precision or speed. I don't see it anymore unless I'm missing something?

That option is still there for swiftkey... same as always... Does it really affect much anyways?

Swiftkey is the best out there
i've been using my HTC One for over a month now.
it's great, but the keyboard shows with an increasing delay.
currently when i try to type something, it takes 1-2 seconds for the keyboard to show.
everything else is fast and responsive.
is it because it's loading some dictionary on every show?
is there a way to reset it ?
I haven't had that issue at all. Very fast for me. What see you trying to use it in? Was there a specific app this happens in?

The keyboard is not as good as the real Swype. It doesn't detect when your swiping is unintentionally off target. I had to download the real Swype keyboard to get comfortable again.

What I mean is, the stock keyboard also allows typing by simply sliding a finger from the first letter of a word to its last letter, just like Swype. But the stock keyboard is not as good in predicting the word you intend to type.

You could try the Swype off the Play Store, I believe it's on sale for $1.
Or swiftkey, both are great
