Hi all,
I need some advice with some of the keyboards available for Android phones, I'm currently using an old version of version of smart keyboard pro i downloaded to test, I really liked the app and was about to buy it when the google checkout did not accept my CC because of the location the charge is been made. I found that I can buy it using Paypal and other kind of market which I wont use, and due to an issue with PP i cant use my CC.
long story short, does any one know of an app that has the same function as smart keyboard specially the one to change the language with a key on the keyboard? since I do use both Spanish and English its annoying to have to go to options and change the dictionary every time I need to switch languages.

Hi there,
I am new to Samsung i780, what is the best English input method on it? Some intellegent input method can try to derive the word by what you have entered. For example, if you have inputted "inp", it will prompt something like "input". Where can I find them? Better it is free
Thanks a lot!
Hi. For me, the best input method so far, is Cootek Touchpal. As you have mentioned, it predicts what you're trying to type, making corrections and adding words to dictionary extremely easy, no switching layouts if trying to enter anything not on the main keyboard, it even tries to predict the next word you might want to use, and many many more features. But it's not free. But not expensive either.
If really looking for free, check out HTC Easy Input, available on this website...
If you want querty layout with individual keys, then you also might want to check out pcm keyboard (free, google it), or (not free) SPB keyboard or resco keyboard.
Hope this helps.

Hi Damac,
Thank you for so detail introduction!
If my phone(i780) has a real qwerty keyborad already, which input method might fit best?
is not appreciated by users
First, this version of SlideIT is not fully compatible with the HTC HD2. Only registered users of SlideIT get the pre-release version 4.1.0.2 (pre-released on March 10th 2010) from the developer Dasur, which is the full version and compatible with the HTC HD2.
Second, as you describe it, it sounds like a warez release to me and is surely not allowed to be uploaded here.
Third, i request to warn the topic-starter and/or ban him.
If thats so, moderator remove this topic pleas...
But anyway if you dont like it its fine...
But is it allowed to hack and crack WP7S and post it on xda? Or alot of other programs on this site? But if this is against the rules...ok please remove this topic moderator!
Thnx
Also: the Dutch language pack doesn't work...it only gives me english suggestions

It does work!
Go to "[email protected]" on the keyboard > Options > Languages tab and set primary language
Please remove the link to the installer cab file. If this version of SlideIT is really fully registered, then i can't imagine that it is allowed to be linked with this forum in any way.
it works
I confirm that it works, but it takes some getting used to,
it does not work in landshape
it crashed the phone
have delete it...
Didn't i tell you, that it is not compatible with the HTC HD2?... tzzz...
Register yourself at Dasur.co.il and pay for SlideIT. It's not that expensive, it's worth the money and the actual 4.1.0.2 pre-release is compatible with the HTC HD2.
SlideIT is fully compatible with the HTC HD2
You can all get the new version, not only registered users of SlideIT get the it.
Dasur relese tow days ago a new version 4.1.0.3 which is fully compatible with the HTC HD2.
try the demo version first, then go and buy it, it's not that expensive !!!
You can get a lot of sites in trouble by posting Warez because they can be sued/shutdown if they're not doing their utmost to remove or discourage posts like this.
Just a friendly message.
I might suggest you guys not to use this "shareware" version in case it doesn't work anyway.
Unless you'd like to spend money so that you can get a working version, I think it's better off to use simplier and free touch keyboards.... the more you save energy, the less it gets on your nerves

FWIW - I am running SlideIT 4.1.0.3 on my HD2 and it is, put quite simply - AMAZING! Blows Swype into oblivion - its far easier to use; much nicer to use & @ the current price of under $8 USD is a steal!
Is there any way to make the keys vibrate like the default keyboard?
Since we're discussing options:
-I hate it how it ALWAYS uses a SPACE after I type something. Granted, it's nice when you're typing normally, but when you're writing a word that isn't known or when you try to edit a word, it gives you spaces between the letters;
-When I'm entering a password, it automatically starts with capital letters.
So, what can I do about it?

Download the free SlideIt manual - tells you all about entering passwords, email addresses etc.

Hi,
This weekend I bought a HTC Flyer and I'm so happy. There is one thing though that's killing me...
I also bought a Bluetooth keyboard so I can write faster when I write large texts etc. The thing is though that I can't change the keyboard layout to German (even if the Keyboard has a physical layout of German, the software keyboard layout is still English).
I can't find anything under the "Languages and Keyboard" settings so I'm currently a bit desperate.
How can I get my German configured android system to understand to use a "Germany layout keyboard" and not a "English layout"?
I really hope that someone can support me here...
Thanks
Hirrsson
PS: Please consider that I'm really a android newbie so I don't understand all the terms etc yet....
hello there to everyone
as this is my first post on this forum, i'd like to take this line to thank all of you whom share information, knowledge, and whatnot to all others: Thank You.
posting here to request the same informtion: pairing an external bluetooth keyboard forces said keyboard to be in english layout, whatever the keyboard. (in my case: french).
In locale the bluetooth keyboard does appears, offering Three settings, but none regarding layout.
I personaly see this as a feature that is lacking due to the fact that the os is intended to be primarily used via touchscreen keyboard; but i also think this feature is needed big time. now heading to official android feature request to see if it has been added to newer versions (am runing 2.3) and if not, request it.
I did this for my Stowaway Keyboard. It is a lot of work, you need root on your device, rootexplorer and Hexeditor.
I can guide you through if you wish.
Which phone? Which keyboard? What has to be changed? öäü? y-z ???

Thank you in advance

I don't know if this is an original question, I just joined the site, and reading through this forum convinced me that this is the tablet I am looking for.
I just began studying Japanese this quarter, and I would love to be able to augment my studying with the Galaxy Note 10.1.
Obviously this device does not only ship to the US, so I am sure it recognize other language input. Practicing writing sentences will of course not be a problem. What I want to know is if the device will recognize the kana and print it to the screen. I feel that it can be a great practice tool for perfecting my writing if the software can identify it.
Is it as simple as changing the keyboard language? Will I need to root my device?
I'm studying Japanese as well, but I don't see the option to input kana. The only East Asian input languages I could download for the keyboard was Korean and Chinese. There's no download for Japanese language. It's so disappointing! I have the US Wi-Fi version of the Note 10.1 (N8013), though. The international version might have Japanese input but I don't know for sure.
You could always try using a 3rd party keyboard from the Play Store, however, they may not have handwriting recognition. So I'd parse through the app store before you go out and buy one.
If you're using a language from the default list in the settings menu (there's not too many in the list), there is no need to root. All you have to do is download the font from the Settings menu.
I hope I didn't confuse you or anything...
EDIT:
I did a quick Google search and someone had recommended downloading MultiLing Keyboard + the Japanese plug-in + the HanWriting system to get Japanese handwriting input OR you can purchase an app called 7notes with mazec (Japanese). MultiLing is free and 7notes costs $10.47 (there is a trial version but that's Japanese only). I would post links but I can't since I'm a newbie. D:
I'm gonna test out the MultiLing one first, then the 7notes trial since the latter is quite expensive.
Yes, you can write and read japanese in almost any app, even you can set japanese as the main language if you want. (all the menus and options will appear in japanese).
The default keyboard (samsung keyboard) doesn't have japanese as writing language, but no problem, just use any third party keyboard with japanese support, I use (and recommend) Multiling Keyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klye.ime.latin), it has plugins for japanese and handwriting (works very well with the spen)
And there are good learning apps for writing in japanese, like Hiragana Learning Experiment (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.legendarya.helloandroid) that can help you to improve your writing skills.
No root is required at all.
Thank you for the replies. This is perfect.
I use 7 notes with mazec (Japanese) - it is some notes application that I don't use, but it also installs a japanese keyboard with handwriting recognition for kana and kanji (and also romanji and numbers). Looks like samsung handwriting keyboard and works very well. Well worth its price (and there is free version to try):
7notes with mazec in play store
Is there any "keyboard" that will recognize input of handwritten kanji directly?
Japanese keyboards that I found all depend on kana input.

yep, have you tried Multiling Keyboard that I mentioned above?
No, but I did download the trial version of 7Notes with mazec and that seems ok for input of words and phrases but it still has ways to go before it handles sentences our word combinations. Also perhaps a little on the expensive side. I will use this for a week to see how I get along with it and the I'll try the Multiling keyboard, it just sounds like it requires downloading a lot of language specific files.
The Samsung keyboard on their Note series has good handwriting recognition and I noticed I could download Japanese as one of the supported languages. I did just that but I couldn't get it to recognize any kind of Japanese input.

I've Note 8010 bought in Germany with latest firmware installed from factory. Played with it for a week using stock, set-up for work several languages (including mother language - Polish). For the first time I was impressed by stock keyboard so much that I've ditched SwiftKey for it.
As recognized flashoholic I gave up after a week and rooted device and flashed one of the custom ROMs. Been using it for a while, that time mostly reading book and making sketches.
Yesterday I wanted to write few messages in Polish and discovered that I've no alternative symbols (like @, (), " etc.) available after long key press, only diacritical signs (Polish, German, Swedish). When I change to English or German - alternative symbols are back but no access to diacriticals.
Could you please check also your keyboards against such behavior and when it is correct let me know which ROM you are using?
