I have been trying to get swiftkey to work but its having issues. Whenever I bring up the keyboard a second later it just goes back down. I have tried re-installing the app but same issue. Anyone else having issues with it?
I'm using SwiftKey to type this reply. It's been working smoothly on my device.
works fine on mine also,
I am using swiftkey 2 beta, and it's working good.

For some reason I can use the swype keyboard feature only the first time I install the swype keyboard. After that I can type each letter but it won't let me swipe anymore. Any suggestions?
I am having an issue with Swype as well: I cannot get it to Auto-space. Any help would also be appreciated.
There is some issue with it in HTC Sense Messaging. I have the same issue. If you use Handscent it works though.

You need to re-license it. It kept doing that for me over and over again so I got rid of it. Using Shapewriter now...its basically the same thing.
Yes swype is very bugging on this phone. Only works with well with 3rd party messages apps. I have reinstalled several times, with the same results. Hopefully an update will fix.
There are version of Swype that can be found that are apparently for the EVO. I am not quite sure if it is an older version, it may very well be but I heard that it works. Just some food for thought!
the only issue I have is that it doesn't work on a fresh reboot right away.. I have to enable the touch keyboard (stock) and then change it to swype after that and it works fine until I reboot my phone

Same, the easiest way is to just open up any txt window and hold your finger there until the "Txt input" box comes up.. choose standard, then repeat process choosing Swype.

same workaround ive been using.
After dealing with the same issues I switched to flext9. It's not as pretty as swype but does the same thing and has surprisingly accurate voice recognition, which I use once in awhile. Hopefully the first update from HTC includes a stable version of swype so we can all stop dealing with the licensing issues.

are you guys using swype beta? I'm thinking of switching from the fascinate, but one of the things I really love about the fascinate is swype, would hate to have to leave it. thanks

Swype beta works fine on the t-bolt, like the previous post says one issue is that it doesn't work after you reboot, you just need to enable the stock one again and then re-enable swype, takes 2 seconds.
Another issue is it doesn't work well with the HTC facebook/twitter app. The app has built in auto complete which messes up aftermarket keyboards. If you use something like launcher pro it doesn't matter, or 3rd party widgets.
I found a working version on swype on my TBolt. It took me a while to find this but finally got it working for me, doesn't reset after reboot or anything, and it's not a beta version I don't believe. It's the full version and haven't had any problems with it at all. Send me a PM for the link...
I got the eco swype apk, works great for me.
This sometimes happens, switch between stock IME and Swype on a text area and it should fix it for a while
I switched to slideit keyboard and I prefer it over swype beta.

Keyboard lag in forums/message boards when using all browsers, does anyone have a fix for it?

Switch to XDA classic. Scroll to the bottom and switch. That'll fix the XDA lag.

keyboard lag
Thanks for the quick reply. The problem with the lag in the keyboard is on all sites with message boards or forums...I.e. yahoo, YouTube, etc... I have no lag when doing emails or typing in notepad. I have tried half a dozen keyboards, but the problem persists.
I called Motorola, but they were more interested in telling me they have no fix because no one has complained about that before, and I could just return it.

It's a known issue. Did you try another browser?

Are you running Honeycomb 3.2? Keyboard lag is almost non existent for me on 3.2
My Xoom is out of commission and bricked. I'm trying to get it working.

Yes I have used several different browsers, but I get the same results.

The keyboard lag still exists in 3.2. It's pretty ridiculous that there isn't a fix yet.
On a side note:
Another thing that is annoying the hell out of me is when I pop up my keyboard and start typing it opens a random program.

How did you brick it. o-o
I hated that keyboard lag!! The only fix I ever found was to download thumb keyboard on the android market for honeycomb. This fixed the keyboard lag all across the board for me. I am on 3.1 on a 3G Xoom Stock. Too bad I had to pay to get a fix and if there is a fix without this keyboard then please post!

Ditto, I've used several browsers, always get lag, I love when it finally starts typing, but the first few letters are now just gone. Or when it finally starts showing characters, and the browser does a force close.
I hsve the keyboard up and running fine, but i was having trouble not being able to close the keyboard like the default kindle keyboard, as it hides the soft buttons atthe bottom of the screen. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks in advance.
A downward swipe is supposed to close it, and in fact it does work on the Kindle Fire with the NON-Tablet SwiftKey X. However, the Tablet version doesn't respond to Swipe down. Urgh.
Randy
yeah swiftkey tablet x does not swipe down for me either
As a temporary workaround I've been using the cog to drop down the toggles menu and then the keyboard closes

Force close?
Has anyone experienced a forced close of Swiftkey X tablet? I had it installed and was using it but after a couple of days I start getting the app failing and it being forced closed and it appears to continue after that. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

i would go in and re install it (through your file explorer. that clears up all the issues with lots of others). i havnt had that happen to me although i switched to swype pretty quickly.
I'm using Switkey Tablet X on CM7 about week now, and i'ts working perfectly.
To close keyboard I'm using back button on status bar, and never experienced any troubles.

I'm running cm7.
I can't decide which to purchase, swiftkey tablet or non-tablet. any opinions?
Dont purchase now, try the Beta of version 3. Its totally awesome, you should try it. just google for swiftkey forum, register and grab the beta
Try thumb keyboard, it works well and you can close it

This is what I've been using and it works well. Would like to see them merge split the keyboard with a simple gesture like the keyboard on the iPad, but other than that it's been good.
Hello, I use Thumb Keyboard as my default keyboard but every time I turn off/on the tablet the Samsung Keyboard comes up as the default one. And yes, I set the Thumb Keyboard as the default in the settings. Anyone having this problem? Or a solution?
Thanks in advance...

Update: the problem seems to be only with Thumb Keyboard, I switched to Swiftkey and problem solved, anyway both are great.

Similar issue
I and my husband both have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets running on Jellybean. Both have SwiftKey installed. Every time we turn the tablets on, we have to set SwiftKey as the default keyboard because it keeps changing it back to the Samsung keyboard. This is driving us both crazy. Our Galaxy Note II phones don't do it. Neither do our old Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablets or the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablets we returned to get the Note 10.1 devices. Does anyone know how to fix this? (I already uninstalled SwiftKey, rebooted, reinstalled SwiftKey, set it as default, and rebooted again to find that the issue continues.)
Thanks!
I had that issue before i rooted my device. Still on stock, but I installed Titanium backup and froze most of the bloat including the stock Samsung keyboard. Golden now.

Check out the SwiftKey website. This is a well known issue.

I have two n8013 bought at same time. One does what you discribed and the other always comes up with thumbs. have not looked into what's causing it.
Mmmm... That's probably not the best solution but I'm going to try that....

I was hoping that wasn't the answer, but I guess we are out of luck for now. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.
The keyboard mic just stopped working all of a sudden on my wifes s3. She uses it all the time so I tried different keyboard apks. None of them worked so I tried flashing different roms. Still not working. I'm wondering if she changed a setting somewhere but I've looked everywhere in settings and can't find anything. She's running hyperdrive 15 with note2 keyboard. Has anyone else experienced this?
