Hello,
Just for fun, what's your typing speed on Touch Pro?
I used the following page to measure:
http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php
You don't have to type the whole text. You can just type one or two sentences and press the stop clock button.
Mine was 30 wpm with no mistakes.
I don't know if there is a similar thread, I searched but couldn't find any, that's why I started this one.
"freaky fast, freaky good" no mistakes
I had a little trouble with that page, having to go and hit the start and done button. The on-screen keyboard kept shifting it out of the way.

I get about 90wpm on a regular keyboard, and 40 on my HTC Fuze.

Sorry if this have been asked alot, But i'm using the Black Diamond Touch ROM. and whenever i type on the actual keyboard, whenever i press the buttons it flips the letter around, like when i type in google, it's like ggoole or when ever i space it be like go llge. I notice when ever i type, it highlights like i'm using a regular 12 button phone. Is there anyway to Fix this? I would really appreciate it.

I've disabled all of the auto-correct and suggestion SIP options on the TP and that works great, HOWEVER (heh, heh)...
Is there any way to turn off that annoying "what-you're-typing-preview" that always appears on-screen as you type? It is such a waste of screen real estate.
Do you know what I mean? I'll explain...
For example:
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 1
1. Start a new text message.
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing!
You will see what you type appear in a little "preview window" at the bottom of your screen.
Now here's the REALLY annoying one...
Code:
PREVIEW STYLE 2
1. Open an existing SMS message (threaded view)
2. Pop out your physical keyboard
3. Start typing...
You will see the preview appear *above* your text this time. Even MORE annoying since it's taking up real estate in the typing area this time around.
I've been scrounging for a solution to this and really hope one exists.
Thanks for everything, guys!
press ctrl + space and choose abc
Thank-you VERY MUCH, Brendo!
I thought that I had already done this but I realize now that it was probably in my dreams.
(YES -- I dream about my TP -- don't lie -- YOU DO, TOO!!!).
Lol.
Take care.
Hi Guys, probably very silly of me, but 'choose abc'. Do we have a 'abc' button? I can't seem to find out what you mean with this. Also pressing cntrl + space and typing abc does nothing (obviously). Help me. I also find the typing preview window quite annoying, especially since I have been so happy to be able to turn the auto correct options off.
It can be found on the SIP - pop up keyboard, providing you have "full keyboard", phone keyboard etc selected and not the windows default keyboard. You will see a button marked ABC->T9. Make sure T9 is not selected.
Gee thnx ardsar, this was clear and worked. Indeed I had to change the layout of my pop up keyboard, as I hardly ever use it and had it in the default keyboard mode.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (yes, I'm shouting )
If there was anything that pissed me off on this phone, it was the goddamn useless preview!
Why do they expect that you're a retard, if you bought HTC phone? I thought these phones were for smart people
That's kool that it will take the dialog away but while I'm in programs it still types the letters in the background and causes them to skip. Is there any way to disable the typing of keys in the background while still reading the keystrokes. Let's say I'm using PocketNES while I'm in the game it reads the hardware keyboard as typing letters when I'm not trying to type any message. I would just like to use the letters as buttons instead. Hopefully someone has found a solution to the problem!
I've been having the Raphael for a while now and I ablsolutely love it. Except for the on screen keyboard. I remember the one I had on my Kaiser and it worked better for my taste. All number and letter keys are displayed on the screen. No need to shift bacc and forth between letters and numbers of having to hit the shift key for numbers. Also it was alot more compact too. Took alot less on the screen. I haven't seen much of threads optoins for vga on screen keyboard options. Can anyone help me out?
Hi
I've been using HD2's Default Keyboard and Compact Keyboard and find it annoying with it's accuracy problem, but I have a idea that make it more accurate but a little of typing speed sacrefice
my idea is dynamic button domain, it means that when a letter on the soft keyboard is pressed, it's press domain expands so if the finger ( thumb most of the times ) moves a little to other sides, the letter does not change by that little move that is natural.
for example, when you want to press letter "D", you press it but because you pressed it by thumb, the thumb by a little move can go on to S, F, E, R or X that make the mistake. but with this idea, when "D" is pressed, it's activate domain area of "D" expands and by a little move of the thumb, no problem will be made.
I want to share this idea for if a programmer for win mo read it and found it interesting, code it and make a keyboard that is beautiful like HTC's and functional.
thanks
PS: I used BsB Tweak 1.6 for reducing screen sens and increased the tap time, but it's not still good
+1
ive had the same prob. it happens a lot when i play around with my dog. i wonder if the static causes some prob or anything. i dont know.
Just "type" and do not look at the keyboard, which works very fine Just hit it for a short moment and you shouldn't suffer from that problem
for as long as I've had my phone, which, of course, is as long as I've had it rooted, my messaging app has acted extremely odd.
Using the arrow keys and the back-space key causes strange, and often app-breaking, behavior. it seems to be registering the key presses in at least 2 other areas of the app. it always scrolls to the top of the conversation, it highlights conversations in the main message window, and it highlights options in the menus before I even have them open. it seems that the window that lists the conversations, as well as the options menu, are still listening to key presses, even when I'm writing a text. often, the arrow keys and the back-space key stop working all together until I back out of the text-input and re-open the keyboard. this happens litterally every time i write a text message, which is a lot.
all I want the arrow keys to do when I'm in a text field is move the cursor, not jump the highlight to the send button, not scroll through auto-complete options, not jump to the conversation window and scroll through individual texts, and certainly not control the selection of items in windows and menus that I don't even have open.
Also, when pressing 2 keys in quick succession, it often only registers one, TH, especially. I'd say its just registering the second press as a movement of the first contact point, istead of a second touch, like old laptop track-pads, but this device is more than capable of registering multi-touch. also, if you hold one key, and press another, the letter from the first appears on the second key for a brief second...
I'm using virtuous ville v.1.4.0 stock, but I've installed and uninstalled a couple other keyboard apps, can I re-install the stock ICS keyboard? is it a sense keyboard? is this happening to anyone else with this rom or with the 4.0.3 os?
thanks for your help

god I miss my G1... stupid friggin slabs. this was the first, and will be the last phone that I ever buy without a real keyboard. this touch-screen only nonsense is ridiculous. it would be fast if it were possible to be accurate and keys weren't literally touching each other. why can't I tell it how much space I want between the keys, so I press nothing, instead of the wrong key? there would be no haptic feedback so I knew to press it again, and I wouldn't constantly be pressing the shift, space, and num keys, which the auto-correct doesn't account for in the slightest, instead of the A key or any of the bottom row of letters .I'm tired of sacrificing so much functionality just so phones can look slicker and break easier.
Don't know why it fails, sorry.... The stock ICS keyboard is not a sense keyboard, there is one on market looks like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/....android.inputmethod.latin.ice_cream_sandwich
Or you could grab a keyboard from any CM9 or AOKP rom zip file, it's named Latin-IME.apk iirc. The jellybean keyboard is similar but nicer somehow, possible it works on ICS. Also SwiftKey is really good.
Thanks for the suggestions! I do, in fact, have a sense keyboard and I do need arrow keys, which the non-sense keyboards, including the jellybean apk don't seem to have. I still can't fathom why anyone would ever prefer these to a real keyboard and a d-pad... also, the jellybean keyboard still has the same trouble with TH's. has anyone here, who shares my frustration with soft keyboards, found a decent keyboard app?
I wish there were decent quality, mini keyboards, too. Wireless or micro-usb would both work, as I'd probably make a case to hold it with my phone. I've only seen a couple, and they're either too big to be practical, or poor quality.
I apologize for my negative attitude. this is just frustrating, as texting is my main form of communication, and I post to forums from my phone quite often, so typing is important to me.
thanks again

This is what SwiftKey 3 looks like if you activate the arrows and the Holo theme... One month trial.
