touchpal is a true win
far better than better keyboard and free
I installed this app on my Hero, I configurated the options but it doesn't appear as a keboard by default.
Do you know why?
Could you please let me know how can I install thiskeyboard as default?
no one would help me either
All u have to do is long press in any text entry and select Touch input and chose ur keyboard

Thanks a lot JerryBarcenas.
It works !!!!
out of curiousity... what is the reason for a 'better' keyboard and what do you define as a better keyboard?
In other words: Did you try one that you like more than HTC's keyboard, and what is it you like about it?

I love (so far) my HTC Diamond but there is one pretty annoying problem. It seems I cannot get word suggestions while typing and this is for any keyboard type.
Any ideas?
Same problem in the IPAQ 614c
I am having the same problem on my IPAQ 614c. I installed this file to disable to XT9 option but it did not help. It may work for you. I would love to get an answer to my problem. Many thanks.

Could you please post a link to the discussion where this file is described?
Have you played around with the T9 settings?
Start/settings/input/ (check the word completion tab here and choose your options)
Go back to unput method tab
Have compact Qwerty in the window/Options/T9 settings
unfortunately this doesn't work.
keyboard
The best is TouchPal 3.0
correction, I'm speaking about default WM keyboard not about HTC one.
Ok, do you have a Word Completion tab in your input settings?
If so, which options have you chosen?
I have tick Suggest word when entering text
Suggest after entering 4 letters
Suggest 4 words
Tick in Add space after word
Tick in Enable Auto Correct.
I'm sorry, I was wrong, I just tried this out myself, and mine isn't working either. I've never used the normal keyboard before, as it's so small, but it seems like having the Touch keyboards stops that word suggestion happening in normal keyboard. My apologies.
There seems to be a solution to this problem here: PocketCM Keyboard. Good luck! I have tried it and it works great. Awesome!
This Should Work
Hi,
Does any know if there is a T9 onscreen application for sms on HTC DReam? I sms alot and the keyboard is driving me nuts!
Any help appreciated.
Better Keyboard has one (which I would really recommend, due to the skins). There's also a Big Keys T9 version.
Hey Jordanjay, Thank you for your help. I tried but when i clicked on the "open in market" icon, it shows that there were no matches in android market for the search.
Would you know what's wrong? Thanks alot.
What build are you on? The soft keyboards will only work with cupcake builds.
You could always try searching for 'T9' in the market, I found both of these applications via that search.
what do u mean by build? i tried searching the market but to no avail. pls help
Go to Settings > About Phone.
What is displayed under Firmware version?

Haven't had issues like that. You should email Better Android (the dev) about it.

Hey Guys,
Can anyone tell me how can I get the swype to work on the X8, i've installed it and it runs, i select to use the keyboard BUT when it shows up and I swipe it seems to be off by a lot on the swype, like if the keys werent calibrated and adjusted to the screen swypes. Any idea on how i can get this wonderfull app running on the X8, since I had it on my Nokia 5800 this was the fastest way to text, now I can't handle the keyboard either htc nor android live up to the swyping technique!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the advice, I downloaded and tried this one BUT after I restarted the phone and I select the typing area the keyboard won't come up, I have to select the Android or HTC one again, I un-installed it and installed again but the keyboard swiping doesn't really work quite the same as SWYPE because it kinda releases the motion in the middle of a slide. I will try GO keyboard now just cause I rather swyping than typing.
Hello.
I was just wondering if you can type other languages on Droid 3's hardware keyboard.
Is there an app for that because I couldn't find anything like this!
Please! I want to type other languages on this beautiful keyboard!
Who else is interested?
If you are busy, please consider to at least post "interested". In this thread.

Thanks for the reply. However, this might be a good advantage only for those people who are bilingual.
I know there are very few out there, but dude, this is one kick-ass feature!
interested, this would be a useful feature, as right now the only way to type in other languages is using the onscreen keyboards

ICS supports this in it's input settings, Hashcodes build supports every language. I've tested with arabic, chinese traditional, etc working on the HW keyboard, once I had the input settings settings correct it worked 100% as it should have. So I would recommend a firmware upgrade, the software you're looking for to easily support any language for the HW keyboard for the d3 is hashcodes ics build atm. For some reason setting the keyboard to "System Default" or whatever would always be US English, had to clear that and actually select the language I wanted for the keyboard as well as setting it for the "System Language" in the Language and Input settings.
I'm using MultiLing Keyboard for English, Japanese and Vietnamese. It's the only one I've tried that support Vietnamese and doesn't get confused by the hardware keyboard. (I don't remember if I tried Go Keyboard though)
The main feature for me is that Shift-Space switches languages, which is handy when I'm changing language half-way through a sentence... Now if only my 'switch language' key worked...
