for some reason, my friends thunderbolt cant autospace when using swype. i tried reinstalling, restarting, turning autospace off then back on.. holding the space bar doesnt "turn it on" like it does on my nexus one.
he just got the phone yesterday.
any ideas?
i am having the same problem.....sort of. whenever i am doing certain tasks, swype autospaces like normal. it has worked so far with browsing, email, and the htc notepad widget that i can remember. it hasn't worked correctly whenever i write text messages though. anyone have any tips on the fix?
haven't tried with anything else except texting actually. LOL
I'd love to know if there is a fix for this, as it is happening to me too. I was going to shoot swype a message saying so. I assume if they need to fix something we need to tell them it is a problem first. Hence the Beta
It was stated in another post that you need to re-enable another keyboard and then enable swipe again. It worked for me just fine.

I don't have the option to change my keyboard. No swype or anything. (well I have the option of compact qwerty and phone)
re enabled android keyboard then back to swype- still not spacing.. it is driving me nuts
RE
Download Handcent from the Market -- auto spacing on Swype works on there.
well considering its a brand new phone, it should work on a phone that comes with it >_>

I'm using swype beta and handcent and its not working either. The beta, for me, behaves differently from stock swype. The one that came pre installed.

Damn i wish it had a dedicated number row. Way to go, designers.

my thunderbolt didn't come with swype preinstalled
but yeah the autospacing still doesn't work. They sent me an e-mail saying they did all this crazy updates to swype, so i reinstalled with that, and still nothing.

I believe he is using the G2 hence the Sent from my G2. Not sure if this comes pre-installed or not. Think he was just stating he gets the same weird behavior from Swype on the G2.

Must have misunderstood lol. Ya know this being a section about the Thunderbolt and all
I just installed the swype beta on my Thunderbolt and even with auto-spacing turned on in the swype settings in the menu system, when using swype to send messages shows a little red circle w/ line through it on the space bar. I don't know if this has something to do w/ some built in code on the TB? Are the rest of you with this issue showing the same thing? I mean still even having to manually space I seem to be able to type so much faster and I've only been using swype for like 2 days now on my DROID Incredible.
UPDATE:
So is this issue limited only to the built in SMS app? As I seem to have auto-spacing in the other apps I've tried... just not the messages app.

The Thunderbolt didn't come with Swype.
And yes, it's only the stock SMS app that has shown this problem. 3rd party SMS programs, email/Gmail, browser, etc. are all working fine in terms of auto-spacing using Swype.
On the official swype forum a forum mod said that this is because Sense isn't properly designating the messaging apps text input field as auto space/auto caps.

Seems isolated to the native Android SMS app. All other apps I've tried seem to work perfectly.
PLEASE tell me B&N included a way to copy/paste in the stock rom... No???
I want to know the same because i will have to return it if not

Ive been able to copy/paste urls by pressing on the text but thats about it
Press & hold method doesn't work?
Even on my rooted phone, cut & paste support seems to be spotty at best. That, and I can't aim worth crap on the 4" screen.
I mean from the built-in stock keyboard when entering text in a text box, there are no options to copy/paste. I know this was missing on the Nook Color, but I figured B&N would have gotten their act together to add that functionality.
To me, this is a bit of a biggie. Not worth returning the tablet, but certainly a major annoyance. I wonder if a keyboard swap will fix it.
Maybe it's keyboard?
Yea its abit annoying. Ive only been able to cut and past from within the opera browser.

I'm using Dolphin HD and the copy/paste isn't working. On a long press I get the Select Text but it won't actually select anything. Anyone gotten this to work? Works great in Firefox but I just don't like it as well for browsing.

so how do u get it to work if u are rooted which i am but it doesnt work for me even on opera...
thanks!
I can confirm keyboard swap does not work I tried swype and used their shortcuts for copy paste and select all and it results in a force close. perhaps we can push a copy/paste app from AOSP gingerbread into system/app

Not sure. I don't have the Nook Tablet yet - I hope to get one after Christmas. I only suggested the press and hold (or "long press") as that is what I've sometimes used on my phone. I still find that support for the function varies by app. Unlike Windows where "Ctrl-C" will generally allow you to copy any text that can be selected, Android doesn't seem to have similar functionality. (Then again, my phone is sitting at Froyo so I have no idea if Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich has better support across apps.)

I am so supportifng you for this. The inability tocopy and paste is making me so handicap!

I believe that BN has ripped something for the select/copy/paste actions. My NT FC every time when I try to use these kind of functions supported by 3rd party apps, like keyboards.
We need copy and paste
+1 on the copy and paste needed. I can copy from certain programs onto clipboard, but cannoy copy and paste words from the browsers I'm using (b&n + dolphin hd). Also, I can copy the url from Dolphin HD but it won't paste to facebook (not a big deal).
I can copy and paste from adobe pdf's into OfficePro docs, which is great, but would love to be able to do the same from the online readings instead of downloading the pdf version. I can also use Dolphin to save the page as a pdf and then copy and paste to certain programs, but this significantly slows down my productivity when researching and referencing multiple sources.
Got swype beta working and it has built in copy/cut/paste function:

I am interesting in getting this to work also. I use lastpass password manager, and I am incredibly cripple without copy/paste for passwords.

Thank you for the info. However, I cannot select text in the browser in order to copy and paste. I cannot bring up the keyboard to copy in a webpage, although I can copy and paste what I write in a text box like this. That is useful. However, trying to select all from the Swype keyboard does FC my browser (Dolphin HD).
I haven't been able to copy and paste. If you can, it's only in specific areas (like text input boxes) of specific apps.

Yes, you're right. I can't highlight text from articles. Anyone find a browser that can?
I have multi keyboards etc, but never see the little microphone key. I saw it once briefly but never again (sorry, can't remember when or how). Did anyone ever get this working?

Have you installed voice search from the android market yet?
If not, that's something you need to do.
I have voice input working with FlexT9 keyboard (from amazon market) and also with Swiftkey Tablet.
I can't get voice input on my keyboard working with any keyboards other than those listed above.
Voice search definitely works for me, however.
Thanks Downsay, I'll give some of those keyboards a try. I can't use Amazon apps as I am in Canada and they have us locked out.
how did you install FlexT9 keyboard?
I tried the amazon downlaod and it just gives me a force close when I try to follow instruction screen and click button keyboard and input.

Which keyboard are you trying to download? Are you rooted?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
which
downoaded FlexT9 keyboard and I am rooted I have hacker keyboard running.
First install the keyboard for the first time if you haven't already done so. Then Did you move the keyboard into /system/app? If not, you need to.
Also note that after you have done this you will need to reboot the nook. Then you will most likely have a force close error. Open root explorer or however you put the keyboard into /system/app and install flext9. You will have to reinstall each time you reboot the nook tablet. I'm not sure why' but it won't stick after a reboot. Let me know if this helps you out.

To those of you sharks looking for the next best keyboard, this is it. I dl'd it yesterday to run a test drive and this thing is fast - but more importantly, flawless. i havent sent a mistyped txt all day (im a speed typer, but there is an option for precision typers too). I went back to the stock keyboard and it was fail-galore, but, of course, YMMV
-its NOT the same as the swiftkey keyboard in the Play Store. its BETTER
-it learns your typing style more effectively than others advertise, IMO, via social networking/past texts/emails (which ever you prefer)
-its got some pretty nice themes onboard
-its layout is pretty comfortable and doesnt take up space with useless buttons
-its free
here's an article attesting to it's prowess:
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...there/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
heres a direct dl link:
http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta
EDIT: Out of beta! woohoo! If you owned swiftkey x, check it out cuz you get upgraded for free otherwise it's half off this first week on the Play Store
SwiftKey makes the best Android keyboard, period.
I've been using SwiftKey X for a long while, and loved it. The biggest problem I had was missing the space bar (I'm also a speed typer) and typing the letter b, or something, which it wouldn't autocorrect.
I installed the SwiftKey 3 beta last night, and it's phenomenal. It fixes that problem (in fact, try typing without pressing the spacebar and look at the autocorrect) and is overall even more responsive.
I also just downloaded this and while I don't have anything to compare it too other than the stock, I'm already amazed.
While allowing it to scan my emails, texts, and facebook to figure out my speech mannerisms is unnerving, the results are amazing!
It's like it's in my head. Of course, I'm an ex-blackberry user so I have to adjust to using the correction bar. I still want to type out all my words letter by letter. *rolls eyes at self*
But so far, an amazing keyboard.
Thanks for this. I bought SwiftKey but was digging the sense4 keyboard until I saw this. I love the cobalt skin.

You'll get updated to it; don't worry. I got SwiftKey X for free from SwiftKey 1. It'd be pretty unbelievable if they didn't give X users 3.
I'm a long time Swiftkeyer myself. Started using the original when it went Beta. Have used every version since.
My only gripe with Swiftkey, is the automatic space after using a period. My email address has a period in it and it is a bit annoying. Especially since you have to type your email like a gazillion times.
One problem I'm having with SwiftKey 3 is that they got rid of the distinct question mark button, and it seriously slows me down to have to long press a key.
Do any of y'all know if it's possible to bring the distinct key back?
Thanks for the share! I love Swiftkey and I glad that they finally have Korean language support (albeit beta) now. =)
Does the haptic work for y'all? I can't seem to get it to work. It's enabled in the string already.

Sure doesn't..
I just checked, and I found the haptic feedback to work with SwiftKey x.
I'll report this through their beta feedback.

haptic working fine for me. you mean while your type right? (just making sure). make sure you set the haptic feedback duration to at least ~20ms to notice it. i'm at 18ms and i like it, albeit it hiccups every now and then because im such a fast typer anything lower than about 15 wont work/is too short to notice
Works great now, thanks!
I also figured out my question mark issue from earlier: you can swipe horizontally across the period button. To the left right you'll get the question mark, and to the left, you'll get the explanation mark. Works wonderfully.
I just don't know why anyone would use any other keyboard.
Thanks so much for this! :-D

yeah it works. I had to turn up the duration of the feedback, and now it works fine. Only things is, if i mispell a workd incorrectly (especially a small word like "Hey") it wont auto correct it for me. it just leaves the misspelled word. I thought its supposed to correct it for ya LOL. Unless im missing something int he settings?

I'm totally new to this so I don't know what the behavior is supposed to be, but I noticed that the corrected word is usually offered as a choice for me to select above the keyboard.
Thanks for this. I had bought swiftkey for my OG evo but this works even better.
Flash?
I have been using Swift Key for at least a year on other phones and have been totally sold on the quality of this keyboard - I wanted to try the beta just to see what is different - but wasn't sure how to install -
I tried flashing and it failed - and there isn't an "AP" per se that i saw which I could install - so how do I install from the zip file you posted? Sorry if I sound like a noob but I am a little confused on how to install this -
I appreciate the help

after you click on the dl link i put in the first post, your browser (or phone) should automatically download the file. it'll say swiftkey3_beta-3(etc, etc).apk, so just move it onto your phone if it isnt already and, using any file explorer or in the notification bar, click on it and install like any other app
I've just received the Logitech keyboard/cover and noticed that the hotkeys for applications run the Android defaults, whether or not you've set another default. For example, I use the Habit Browser and if I click a link in a document it "always" uses the Habit browser, but if I use the Internet hotkey it opens the default Android browser.
Any ideas?

External keyboard helper pro. Use this and set a tasker profile using bluetooth state and secure setting plugin to make it auto switch to it as the input method when your keyboard connects. It allows you to completely configure your keyboard. It will take a little bit to figure out but its worth it.

External Keyboard Helper does not work with the wifi version (wish I knew why???) Is there a way to use Tasker (or some other program) to trick the tablet into launching the stock email program when the email key is pressed on the Logitech Pro (which defaults to launch Gmail)?
