Could not have said that better myself, it looks better to and the long press on the smilies is nice too

It doesn't have a voice-input button on it, does it? If not, that's a deal breaker for me.

Does any 3rd party keyboard?
I have Smart Keyboard Pro and SwiftKey and they have no voice key.

I am the Senior QA Engineer at Swype. A voice-input button is a sorely missing feature for us too. We are looking at what it would take for us to integrate a feature like that, but we don't have any time frame for when that might happen yet. If you would like to see that feature developed more quickly, please give us feedback on the Swype Forums.

i received the email and clicked the link from my phone but it doesn't recognize my device as an Android device. is this because i'm not using the Stock Nexus One ROM (e.g., i'm using a custom ROM)? thanks in advance for your answer.

Oh they made typing in landscape easier... Or more so better. I like it, and I never exactly hated it either.
Oh it seems they made typing without swyping easier altogether, I typed this entire post with swype. Good job! Loveee it..

So typing normally is better on Swype than on the original Android keyboard?

Hmmmm, send me a PM. I may not be able to get to it this weekend, but I'll see what we can figure out. I know why that might happen, but I'm a little surprised that you are experiencing that with a custom ROM.

We're working to improve that experience as well, but for obvious reasons, we tend to focus most of our efforts on Swypeability.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

I dont know if my opinion will matter, but im typing in landscape with very minimal mistakes, without even having to Swype! Im gonna go off a limb here and say this is definetly better the stock keyboard.
The bad thing is though, it doesn't have auto correction with just normally typing.. (big downer) but the accuracy is so good it can kinda be rarely needed. I believe that still should have been an inclusion.. Though.
Edit: yes it does looked in settings.. Lol

PM sent. thanks for responding.

Oh this is so awesome! Downloaded and installed without a glitch. Will start to try out typing on this.

i'm on CM latest stable, had 0 problems getting email, downloading, installing

Hmmm...
Have registered, got the email, got to the link...tried downloading but it's stuck with no data being transferred.
Anyone else experiencing this?
edit:
it downloads now...no idea why it didn't earlier...this version is much better than the ones released in the forum earlier... my default keyboard now

cilq xt key bord app?

my girl friend got a cliq xt. and the soft key board is really good on it has haptic feedback and generally is super responsive is this because of the app or is it because of the way the way the touch screen works? and if just the vk making it work this is there anyway i can get?
i am soo dumb well not really but i found out whats i was looking for it was that swype app every one been talking about well im off to find it.

[REQUEST] App to flash the bottom key led's for alerts

I am wanting an app to flash the bottom key leds for alerts and such.

I second that motion

Very Cool Idea

different sequences would be cool too!

Great idea....hope this happens.

that would be really battery consuming if you leave your fone siting somewhere

way cool, just hope it doesn't kill the battery even more.

Here is one TheJza over at SDX created for the samsung moment. Once again all credit goes to him.

Yeah that sounds awesome, lets hope someone can figure this out!
Only problem I see is that I think the bottom row backlights could all be one light so we may not be able to get patterns and such :\

Agree I would also love to see this app! Tried the apk posted earlier which worked for the Moment but it doesn't work on our phones. Hope one of the brilliant people on here can make one! =)

I like the sequence idea. Maybe a different sequence for each type of notification. Pans left for SMS, right for Email, etc. Or maybe each light blinks individually depending on the type. Think that would be BA.

Interesting, now to add it into notification

Anyone intrested in trying to implement?

The big thing people wanted on the HD2, was a KITT style...which still would be bada** but they couldn't ever get it to work like that...
Maybe someone can do it with this phone, but I doubt it...I really hope so though.

Great idea! I would love this, also would donate to the cause.

Anybody manage to get this working?

Would LOVE for this app

Droid X keyboard

anyone else try it out yet?
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/24/download-multi-touch-keyboard-from-droid-x/
it seems to work good other than vibrate dont work.. but maybe one of you fine people that know what you are doing can fix that

bumping this. Has anyone gotten it working it on 2.2 droid yet? Or any froyo for that matter

Works great thanks!

Im using it right now... its great exept for the red flash when you press a key

within the symbols screen the "&" key looks messed up in portrait. anyone else get the text spilling over neighboring keys?

Yes, I get that as well. Couldn't say why, but it's not a "deal-breaker" for me, I'm still going to continue to play with this very cool k-board.

Man! This is almost a win. It doesnt vibrate on keypress. For some reason, my thumbs need that tactile sensation. Hopefully someone can fix this.

i'd love to get a fix for this. as well as the tactile feedback when typing.

can someone try one of these out and see if it works for your devices? If not, I will fix the & key for the Incredible
EDIT: forgot link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7056821&postcount=1

There was a version of this that had the haptic feedback enabled. Doesn't work with froyo as far as I can tell. I can't find the link, but it should be floating around on the forums somewhere.

Yeah I know that one doesn't I made them. I should have said that, sorry. I am just curious to see if that will work on your devices, because my friend is getting one. Those have haptic feed back, fixed & key, and are skinned

I can confirm that the Bblue.apk does work. I haven't tried the others, but I'm assuming they will work as well. Thanks a lot for these. I really like the black with blue highlight one a lot.

No problem glade you like it. I would make a post here for them, but no point to double post. Just subscribe to that thread. I will add more when I have more ideas for it. Also anything you might want, I will make just ask in that thread

Great Keyboard. No problems with key formatting on my Droid Inc.
Takes up a lot of space in landscape mode. I'll use it for a while to see how it works, but on first inspection, it looks just as useable as the HTC IME.

Love the keyboards. Any chance you could make a fix for the & key on the one available in this thread?

I think that I posted in this thread when this k-board just came out. I've been using it non-stop ever since and have no inkling of returning to the original.

I've been using the keyboard for a few weeks and while I like the size of the keys and the overall function of the keyboard I'm going to be moving away from it. I've gotten pretty fast on the soft keyboards and I noticed I began making way more typos with this keyboard than the stock keyboard or a couple others I have tried. The problem seems to be that in my haste I am pressing and releasing keys almost at the same moment and this keyboard doesn't like that. It will either only pick up one key, or in my case usually just ignore both and pick up the third key. I noticed a comment about my issue in the Droid X multi touch keyboard post in the dev forum.
It seems this is by design but it is a deal breaker for me since I ended spending more time having to go back and correct all my messages so they made sense. If this can be corrected, I would immediately switch back. Hope this helps someone else because it was driving me crazy.

Been Testing The New Phone ..

Did you get your new phone ?
I thought I would give it a try ..
Its OK .. Nothing That Great I Think.
However seems everything works lol
Whats Your Thoughts ?
Found a few things I do not like ..
1. Volume Not that great - notifications kinda soft.
In-Call Not that great for a old fart like me.
2. The screen is a tad smaller then the hd2
So everything .. the icons and text are smaller
hard to read ;( Again for us old farts
Like CMY'S res on This ROM WAY better! 240 I think.
Also Because Of This The Keyboard Buttons
Are Soooo Small You Cant Hit The Right Letter!!
( I have Big Fingers! ) Swype Is Even Worse! Dam It!
3. The Screen is not as bright as the hd2 LOL
And Seems Not as Good! As The HD2!
Un-less you crank up the brightness!
4. There is no call history icon ??? FFS
What Really ???
5. The Icon For NEW Text Message is WAY to small!
Open New Messages and there is a icon Upper right
corner .. tiny ****ty Little thing. ( Big Fingers! )
6. There is a Program that comes with called Mirror
The Front Camera Looks Like **** !
However with all that said .. Its Mostly Seems Fast ( Kinda )
And everything I have Tried Seems to work and WIFI calling is nice.
Every program I have installed works well.
What DO you think ?

With all due respect, but did you have to start new thread for that? What about initial thought thread?

I think the moral of the story is to get booked in for sight and hearing test ASAP!

You do realize that the screen size is identical to the HD2 right? Items onscreen appear smaller because of the vastly increased resolution.

ashasaur, i told him exactly that in another post he started, but it seems people don't bother reading these days, only post new threads.

If you hit the settings button you will see call history. Not mention every call activity is log right in the main phone app screen.

Not true.
HD2 screen = 5,6 cm x 9,4 cm
Sensation screen = 5,4 cm x 9,5 cm
I have both phones and have measured the screens on both.

The screen is smaller width ways so it can be a 16:9 aspect ratio, instead of HD2's and Desire HD's, which was 5:4.

why do old farts like you get this kind of phones then ? small icons and textures hahah ur funny

The only thing missing now is an app that kill old peoples farts.
The size of the screen is what it is, but i love it

WarlockW: How about testing the device before you buy it?! For me in this case it seems it's not the phone that's the problem....
Reminds me of a story at a local dealership: An lady in her 60ies came in with a high and device with some problems. The shop owner looked at it for five minutes, than looked at her and said: "It's not ment for old hags like you!" True story!

1. Your ears are clogged from your old age.
2. Your hands are too fat due to low metabolism because of your age, and your eyes are too old and is not as good when you were young.
3. Again, your eyes are way too weary nowadays. I heard they come with age.
4. Your brain is too old to pull out short term memory.
5. Again your fingers are too fat and eyes too old. Age related issues.
6. Uhhhh....When I look at mine a reflection of a gorgeous guy is staring back wrinkle free. You are a tad too old to be using it. They have wrinkle creams and surgeries nowadays....They can certainly help you.

I see 'respect your elders' never was beaten into an idiot like you...
The volume IS low vs the HD2, the screen is narrower and harder to type on and see, and the front camera does have a crappy resolution. Those are facts, and he was merely pointing them out. You just had to be the arrogant ass that had to post to make himself "look cool."
