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

Ok, what did I do. I installed SwiftKey X, it was working, then I moved it to my SD card and it was no longer working ,my Evo 3d kept defaulting to the Swipe Keyboard. So I moved Swiftkey back to the internal memory and still the same thing. I can't figure out how to get the normal or the swiftkey keyboard back.
I would uninstall then re install the app.
Nevermind figured it out. Looks like when you move SwiftKey to the memory card it disables it. So you have to re-enable it then you need to hold down the blank txt box and change the input option to Swift Key.
enjoy!!
Thank you for the heads up...my beta just ran out...

Stock keyboard is not bad it actually pretty good specially without those silly arrows from the evo 4G but the swiftkey keyboard works great, my favorite tho is droid x keyboard but i can't find one the works on our evo
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Damn I want swiftkey no credit card where I am and cannot get to it damn

WOW!!
Damn this has to be the best keyboard I have seen.......or at least the smartest.

I'm still torn between this and Smart keyboard pro. I just need to spend some more time with Swiftkey. They are about the same to me now.
So anyone having problems with it enabling? When I go to try to use it. It says pick a language. I choose English US but I keep getting download failed. I have wifi and data enabled.
NM. . Seems like their servers are getting hammered. Just keep trying and it will go through.

Same here. I had been using Smart keyboard Pro since I first got the Evo 4g last year so I was pretty used to it. Been using Swiftkey all day. Just gotta get used to the space bar being smaller, and where all the symbols are.
So I used my S Pen today for texting when I realize that I have to hit the spacebar every time. I didn't see an option for it automatically space when using the S Pen or am I blind lol.
Thanks in advance!

Mine auto spaces when I use swype.
The auto-spacing only half works.
The critical thing to do to get some auto-spacing is to write multiple words out on one line. You won't fit much, maybe 2-3 at the very most, but it will auto space these.
Trying to do one word at a time and letting it clear the screen, doesn't auto-space at all. Very annoying for sure.

This makes no sense at all, it's so counterintuitive. I thought for sure I was missing a section.
As stated above all words written on the screen at a time will auto space but when the screen clears you have to space. What I have found easier than hitting the space bar though, is ate the screen clears you can "write" the space by writing a very short left to right dash.

Every time you pick up the pen and write a new word, Swift key flow does a space (Was done in Swift key flow without pressing space).

Unless i'm also missing something, when i use the pen with swiftkey flow enabled for handwriting recognition.
Everytime I write a word, let it recognize and start a new word it does NOT auto space.
Hope this is just a setting I missed or something??
Or are you just talking about drawing from letter to letter on the keyboard, just with the pen?

Swiftkey flow is swype so I thought that is what you meant. Let me test handwritten.
So, I figured it out. You have to write until thee is no more room on the pad then you let it recognize the text you have written. Once it does that, write a small dash (left to right) and that will make a space. you can then repeat the process. Hope this helps. Writing like this is pretty fun.

Yea, that is how i have been doing it too, i just wish it would auto space itself. On a screen this big i don't see the advantage of having the default be to continue the current word, rather than start a new one. Guess i'll just be training myself to space, just hard to remember.
I sent random texts to my girlfriend all night long just playing with the handwriting. Works really well too!
Thanks again.

I've been using it for a couple hours now and, so far, the gesture/swiping (or whatever you want to call it) recognition is decent but not as reliable/accurate as Swype or even the 4.2 keyboard. Swift key has been my favorite keyboard for a while now so I'm definitely looking forward to this coming along.

its awsome, i love the new space swipe thing. Only thing i miss is the left swipe to delete the last word you typed.
It's not bad. Sometimes it's pretty laggy visually, other times it's fine.

in my experience today i have found it to be exteremly responsive and FAR more accurate then the sense keyboard or 4.2 for that matter. I ditched swype a while ago but I'm in love with this thing. Is everyone set up for precise or rapid? rapid has yeilded better responses when gesture typing for me
Liking it mostly. I just don't like that I can't click on a word and have it bring up other words you might have wanted, ala what swype does. I find myself having to change quite a few words.
Anyone get the flow without a space for a sentence to work? I tried it on a pretty basic sentence and it just double vibrated at me and did nothing.
Kind of a lag on a tablet but I like the effects going to try this on my nex4

Really bugs me that in a "name" field or box, it won't let me swype. Have to enter each letter individually. Haven't found the setting to change that yet...
So far I'm really liking it! Honestly I never really liked the "swipe" style typing but I've been using it on the stock HTC keyboard and now I'm hooked! I have been a huge fan of swift key and have the pro version paid for four a long while now.. Their predictive text is just great and adding the swipe text "flow" is really cool.

May be it's the amount of time I've spent on Swype, I didn't find flow as accurate and fast as Swype
I've been using swype for a couple years and this seems to get what I'm trying to type better and definitely seems smoother, I do miss a few things from swype though like the swype button to a, x , c, and v for select all and copy paste. Is there a different way of doing this or just not available?

Its still in beta and there is a feedback link within the settings of the app im sure they are open to suggestions!
and im definitely and advocate for swype but i find the individual key entry which is so necessary to be far to clunky and innacurate where as this finds a happy medium that im very satisfied with. also folks remember this is beta so they will be releasing a polished version sooner or later. if you have complaints voice them from within the apps feedback section
I find the prediction on Flow to be worse than Swype, but it would be servicable if not for not showing multiple predictions when typing on a word. If you make a mistake it takes a while to correct it, but that's to be expected with a beta. It has potential working off of SwiftKey 3's great prediction software.

Man i feel your pain , couldn't believe the trouble i was having with the HTC ONES Keyboard also , i really wanted to kee a complete stock look , but i just couldn't take it anymore , so i just downloaded swype from the playstore i've acyually been using it for quite awhile now , on my s3 , and man what a difference , i would highly reccomend it SWYPE , it used to be free now its 1 dollar .................
I have always liked SwiftKey keyboard. Now it has flow built in so you can swype or text. This keyboard allows you to type with a lot of mistakes and it does a really good job fixing it. The swype keyboard in the play store works really well for swyping but typing normal on it doesn't work near as good. Depends on how you like to text more. I switch between both of them all the time.
