No-fullscreen Landscape keyboard for TnT/TnTlite

I just found out that Smart Keyboard Pro has a config switch to disable switching to full-screen in landscape mode. This makes it work in landscape like original TnT keyboard - entry field does not cover the whole screen. This fixes one of TnT(lite) issues for me. Perhaps it could be useful to someone who needs a soft keyboard with support for other languages. Not sure if there are other/free keyboards which support such option, I decided a few euros is not that bad for a keyboard with so many options

Ultra Keyboard as has No Fullscreen Mode
Ultra keyboard has this as well, it also has some nice tools above the keyboard like selecting text, cut, copy paste. It also has cursor keys as well as trace(Swype) support. You can configure it to use trace mode all the time or on either portrait or landscape mode. I like to use it only in portrait, as the landscape mode means my finger has to do a lot of traveling. Trace is not as nice as swype, but works fairly well. The cursor keys included on both portrait and landscape keyboards make it fairly easy to correct any typos.

Yeah, Ultra has some really nice features, however it is unaware of non-latin characters, which kind of defies the purpose for me, I could type in English using TnT keyboard. If it had more languages I'd switch to it from Smart.

I am using the Ultra keyboard trial but haven't been able to figure out how to make it work full width. The tool bar is, but not the keys. What am I missing? Besides probably a brain

I've started using Thumb Keyboard, which costs $1.99 but which has a great split keyboard in landscape for comfortable thumb typing while holding the tab. Autocomplete was just added, but I'm not sure which languages it supports. It's in the Market.
It's not 100% ready for prime time, but I love having a keyboard like this. My thumbs were taking a beating trying to use a full-width keyboard. (Tiny girl hands!)

Thanks for the tip on Thumb Keyboard, I bought it and am typing with it right now. (It was only $1.33 for me fyi.) Much closer to what I wanted from the keyboard, now I can hit all the letters with my thumbs. The space bars are still a little far for my liking, but not too bad. App looks like it's pretty new, so hopefully it'll keep getting updates.

Oops, yeah, I think you're right on the price. But I'm glad you're using it! It's just what I wanted/needed, especially after ending up with my thumb in a splint after a week of heavy use of the default keyboard! This is much less of a strain.

[SWYPE] Swype 3.5 Beta Release

Swype v3.5 BETA released!
What's so special about Swype v3.5 Beta Release?
Tap Correction
In v3 of Swype, we're introducing full tap correction functionality.
Having trouble getting the hang of Swype and just want to tap for a little while?
Prefer to tap out some words while Swyping others?
No need to switch keyboards!
Swype's powerful tap prediction and correction engine is based on
many of the same principles that make Swyping so effective.
We emphasize speed over accuracy, so tap away with reckless abandon,
and Swype will still make sure you're getting the words you want.
Automatic tap correction is enabled by default,
but you can control exactly how it behaves through the new
"Word Suggestion" category in Swype's settings screen.
Simply long-press the Swype key,
choose "Options" and then go to "Word Suggestion."
You'll be able to set whether corrections happen automatically,
whether Swype shows the actual tapped characters or
the first suggestion in the active text field,
and whether to show word suggestions at all.
Horizontal Word Choice List (HWCL)
While the pop-up Word Choice Window served us well for a long time,
we have decided to utilize
Android's built-in horizontal word choice list functionality,
bringing us in line with evolving input standards.
Now, when you tap or Swype a word,
suggestions will be displayed in a scrollable horizontal list above the keyboard.
This has several major advantages:
No matter what happens,
when you Swype something,
a word will always be entered into the active text field.
We're able to display more suggestions at a time.
When you tap out a word, the characters you actually tapped,
regardless of predictions,
will appear at the beginning of the suggestion list.
Choosing to use a word you tapped in,
when it's not in our dictionary,
it will offer option to add word to your dictionary via the HWCL;
no more automatically adding misspelled words to the dictionary.
Honeycomb support
It's not related to our Nexus S, so I take it off
Licensing Fix
Swype will no longer fail to license after rebooting,
with the error "Swype is configured for another device."
This issue was due to a feature of new phones called "quickboot"
and has been resolved.
On CDMA devices,
Swype was unable to authorize its licensw,
when the device was in Airplane Mode.
Now, if Swype detects that your device is in Airplane Mode,
things will continue running as they should.

I've been rocking swype since day 1 and absolutely love it. The new version definitely has some noticeable upgrades, but one issue I'm having with the suggestion box is that it pops up when I swype passwords, revealing my password. Is there a way to turn this feature off when swyping in a password dialogue box? Otherwise I will have to downgrade to the previous version of swype as it was "smart" enough to realize this.
Swyped from my iPhone killer/HTC Desire

I'm not having the same problem with passwords, so long as the web site hides it as I input it.
Loving version 3, btw....

Hey Tank. That has happened to me occasionally. Pretty simple fix. Long press on the input bar and select input method. Select the android keyboard. Then long press again, input method, select swype. It kind of reboots it I guess. Shouldn't have any more problems from then on.

3.6 is out. Swype installer will load it for you

Impressed myself
I really like the changes
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I got an email today saying that the new one was available.
I really like the changes they made.
I did have to delete the old one a re-install/install the new one.
works great and haven't gotten a prior problem of needing to select input method every other text.

I never been able to figure out of you can do something about this.
My only gripe with Swype is if you hit the SYM key to press ? you have to hit the SYM key again to switch back to the QWERY layout. This sole reason alone is why I continue to go back to the stock keyboard.

OP, your font for the swype keyboard is different than mine. Mine is terrible; frail looking. I want to use swype but that alone kills it for me. Does anyone know how to change the font for swype?

God help you if ur on miui rom and want this ver of swype. I don't even know which combination worked to get it to license, but biggest PITA..
If anyone needs help tho (re miui) , feel free to ask or pm me.

You have create your own keyboard images to change the font. It is a rather long process.

That's the same font mine came with.

Others have reported similar issues that sometimes go away with a reflash of the ROM you are using. If that doesn't work try a different ROM (or more likely a different Kernel)

try this
Go to setting - applications - manage application - All - samsung keypad - clear data
Setting - language n keyboard - samsung keypad - Reset all setting (last option)
Hope should work
GudLuck

Try to use other Key Boards on Market..
Try Clearing Data of Stock Samsung Keyboard
i had problem too with Stock key board.. its process consumed around 100MB of RAM
i cleaned data and it came down to 20-25MB
ALSO TRY TO TURN OFF CHARACTER PREVIEW... I got my problem solved with this

thank you
Thank you very much guys ~ !

mine something similar to yours. but mine just hang all of the sudden. I'm like typing typing and it suddenly BOOM ! HANG ~! and mine hang quite often. But nowadays i found a solution, whenever it hang/ i can't type anything. I'll just have to leave it there for 1 min or 2 mins and then it will be back to normal, or i can just keep on spam any key until it appears on the screen

Apple Magic Trackpad

Just for fun, since I hadn't tried it in a while on any older devices, I paired my magic trackpad to the N7. It pairs as a controller rather than a mouse in Jellybean, and it supports multitouch! Take a look at my 5 fingers. Instead of a cursor you get circles like when debugging touchscreen is turned on. Of course, without any hdmi output, this is not likely to become a dockable laptop replacement, but the same should work on my gnex. Portable multi touch workstation!
The major problem is that it still in mouse mode as far as tracking movement -- in other words, you have to keep sliding and releasing rather than picking the exact spot on the touch pad to correspond with the screen.
Enjoy!

Could be something cool incorporated into ROMs in the future settings wise.

I got my trackpad to pair just fine with the Gnex, but the Nexus 7 doesn't see it on a bluetooth scan. What idiot check am I forgetting to perform?
BTW, as much as I hate apple, the magic trackpad is a wonderful input device. I wish there was an android purposed alternative.
Edit: Must press power button a little longer to get trackpad into discovery mode. Carry on.

This doesn't seem to be the case with 4.2, which is kind of a drag. Anyone else experience this?

2010 White Macbook
Hey guys, so I just installed android on to my macbook and it's working good and the wifi works but one weird thing is that the trackpad is recognized as a touch screen so it's kind of difficult to use. Is there anyway I could change it to recognize the trackpad as a mouse? Thanks for any help

On my Mega 6.3 Android 4.4.2 it recognises the trackpad as a mouse device with some mac adress, then reads its name - trackpad bla bla, and then works as multitouch trackpad with multiple pointers according to the quantity of fingers I use. If something is nt working, you probably have to reset it properly. Reset means something like radical unpairing and longer power button pressing until android ask a pin code for pairing.

I am trying now also to make multi touch work with my magic trackpad 2 on android 4.4.2 (Zenfone 5). I pair successfully, but can only move the cursor / click, no multi touch.
I looked around for ways to perform a reset on magic trackpad 2 (that doesn't have a power button) and couldn't find any...
Any ideas / leads for me will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Where's the handwriting keyboard on 2.0?

The handwriting option is supposed to be under input methods in settings (per an article I saw about Wear 2.0) and it's not there on my Urbane. How can we get this and activate it?

Wondering this myself. I don't see it on my LG G Watch R either.
Acoording to this (old) Android Police article it was kind of a hidden feature in the dev previews:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/05/23/how-to-enable-the-handwriting-keyboard-on-android-wear-2-0-preview-1/
I don't remember reading anything about this feature getting dropped.. was it?

Settings -> Personalization -> Input Methods.
Edit: I realize that this is probably not what you're looking for lol. I dont see any handwriting itself on mine. The only thing I see is the keyboard itself which you can type or swipe on which does work nicely.

Just click on "Manage keyboards" and you'll see it right there, then you will need to click on the 'world icon' when you are typing. Hope it helps

I asked Android Police if they knew something about it. Cody looked into it, said it is there (in the apk) but some bug is preventing it to show up

Found the Handwriting Keyboard!!!! You need to go to the Play Store on your watch (under TOOLS) and download the Google Handwriting input keyboard. You then need to go to settings, personalization - input and check it to activate.
Then when you're in an app that can use the keyboard, just long press the keyboard icon to show the alternate keyboard (handwriting) option. It works ok, not super, but good to have it!!

Yep it just went live today (or maybe yesterday). It came preloaded with the dev previews and LG G Watch Style and Sport, but apparently didn't make it into the OTA for the other watches.
