Hi !
It seems to me that the keyboard from the last update is a bit smaller compared to the original one, which looked like this one : http://www.actualitemobile.com/foru...ed0afa4cf4e9502a831020a20bfd0a32&topic=2079.0
I wanna know if I could find a way to have this keyboard back, with perhaps a more stable version than this hacked keyboard. I have quite big fingers, and it isn't yet easy to type in T9 on phone keyboard.
Or I'm open to other keyboards, as long as it has a phone Keyboard [ABC] [DEF] etc and T9 (Windows Mobile's is good).
Thank you.

Hey,
I hope that someone can help me out.
Since the screen is "quite" small... the keyboard in windows mobile is definetly too small, and even fingerkeyb requires some concentration.
Are there any good looking, perfectly working, dialer looking input SIPs?
12 button input with 1 - abc, 2-def, 3-ghi etc. Like on oldschool cellphones (and samsung touch versions)... with T9 textbook.
I guess there are a couple out there, which one is THE best?
saw this thread, with no answer...

Search for the OEM XT9 keyboard. There's a phone keypad mode.
Thanks!
I tried it and it works ok! I like it, think I'm gonna use it instead of fingerkeyb, at least for sms-writing with one hand. There are some issues though, it's not perfect.
Wonder why no-one focuses on creating a better soft keyboard (eg sony ericsson!!!)

Hi all.
I just bought my first Android phone and since on my iPhone I can have Japanese keyboard and text too, I was wondering if the same is possible in Android phone like the Liquid.
Thank you

Search "wnn" in the Market....
Great Navygino!
I just dloaded openwnn, but there is another one too I'd like to test...
And switch to Jpn keyboard is even faster than iPhone since on Appele you got to cicle through all the enabled keybs, here you just long press a key and voilà!
I'm so happy now!!
keyboard layout
it's a bit off topic but didn't seem worth opening a new thread.
i'm putting it here as it's kind of related i think.
I'm also using openwnn for japanese input. looks pretty good.
once i'll get used to type on a screen
however, what is bothering me, is the qwerty layout.
is there anyway to switch the z and y keys?
also being able to write ä ü ö would be a nice...
Hello,
There are at least 3 Japanese keyborads for Android"
Open Wnn
Open Wnn Plus
and Simeji
I personally like the fist one most - because it has the easiest method to input emoji.
ä ü ö can also be input via special chars table.
Hi folks,
I love original android system. I don't want to install any modified versions. My last G1 is a brick right now.
I know many of the modified version has autocomplete on the device keyboard just like it is on a virtual keyboard. I like the function since I am horrible at spelling.
Anyway, is there a way I can do that by just install some type of applications? Thx! I think it would be just an input method!
Thank you!
Actually, I meant when we type in "acc", there will be "accompany" or "accumulation" these types of options letting us choice to complete.
Which is the "Show Suggestion" function.
Smart Keyboard Pro has this I believe. It's $3 on the market and its dictionary includes our favorite 4-letter words if you catch my drift. Check it out.
htc ime keyboard has this,
It seems like a good idea, but from using it (With HTC IME), it really slows down typing. Slow enough to where you just get rid of it (at least the case is that with myself)
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else really liked the new stock IME included in Froyo.
I tried swype, SwiftKeys and the Htc IME, but I just keep coming back to the stock froyo keyboard.
With the new two rows of pop-up keys and the ease of switching languages, I find it to be the easiest to use. Definitely more intelligent than the iPhone keyboard.
Only problem I have when compared to typing on the iPhone is that it will miss keys if I type too fast, but all the ime I've tried do that. It's likely more of a touchscreen issue there.
Just curious if other people were enjoying it as well.
The one problem I have is the fact that it doesn't support the Canadian French keyboard layout. Typing in azerty is just terrible! Lots of bug reports in to Google on that point, but no movement yet.
if swype didn't cut it I really don't know what will, smart keyboard is really good and fast try it if you haven't already.
and to answer your question, I honestly loath it. but you see that's the beauty of android, if you don't like anything just change it lol.
I keep coming back to it also, does exactly what I want it too and is easy to use, used swype on my old windows mobile phone but see no need for it here. the text predicition means I rarely type near the full word.
In portrait mode I use swype, while in landscape mode I use the stock keyboard. Does anyone know any light half-qwerty keyboard for portrait use? I tried HTC_IME but it had that little bug that wouldn't register the word "IF". I wonder if it still exists in the latest version. Also is there an original HTC_IME lying around somewhere? I want something light and not as heavy as the modded one.
Tried Swype once.. not for me.
Been on stock ever since coz it's allright...
I can't get away from the HTC IME keyboard cause it has T9 standard keypad, and I'm just so much faster typing on that.
Tried Swype a while ago. But since FroYo I've been very happy with stock...Especially in landscape.

I like it. I use HTC ime too but I use stock alot. The reason you're more accurate on iPhone is probably because of its genius unseen system whereby it predicts the next letter you're going to type and resizes all of the keys' pressable areas based on the odds they will be selected. The greater the odds the bigger the pressing area. If the stock android KB implemented that it would be perfect. Thick keys is similar but not very good so I'm guessing there might not be a copyright issue. I know android indicated its awareness that the android kb needs a lot of work so maybe gingerbread will bring some enhancements...
Hi Guys!
I´m terribly searching for some keyboard alternatives for WP7, but it seems like there aren´t any alternatives at the moment, right?
I would really appreciate the development of a standard (12 Button) Keyboard like it was implemented in WM 6.1 - 6.5 and is implented in every Android build, on which each button represents 3 or 4 signs. In my personal experience writing goes damn fast (with one hand...for me, it´s even faster than swype) on such a keyboard, even while walking, cycling or driving (yeeeea I know, don´t type and drive... ). I used such a keyboard also with WM 6.5 and Android...(the shown pics are just some (to be honest: not very good) examples to show what I mean)
The keyboard implemented in WP7 is quite okay, but the buttons are really small (at least this depends on how thick your fingers are?! ) and it is impossible for me to type in a comfortable way while I´m walking ...
what do you guys think? are there any solutions/will there be such a layout in near future?
hello,
im looking for the phone keyboard too with T9 , im much much faster on phomne keyboard would be good if anyone can add this on wp7
regards
Same for me... the keyboard in wp7 is not bad, but on wm6.5 with swipe or T9 it was much faster to write a message.
Anyone an idea?
I'm not sure this is an area that will see any change in the short term. Microsoft seem keen to keep this locked down like the iPhone.
*grrr*...that´s really kind of sad...I´m really not comfortable with the native keyboard. But hope dies last
You can't change the keyboard on WP7. Microsoft is not allowing it. I don't believe anybody has found a way to do it either.

Arguably you should add '...yet' to the above statement, although Apple have retained their policy of not allowing alternative keyboards.
A Google search suggests there is no obvious activity around Swype and WP7 and while there are a few things around suggesting that Dasur (SlideIT) were looking to release a WP7 version of their keyboard, there is nothing obvious to support this on their website.
They may have had information from MS that they are not opening up the keyboard? Or maybe it's in development...?
Any news here?
