If you haven't tried Thumb Keyboard yet, give the free 4.0 Beta a try. It has changed my TF experience for the better in a huge way. Link here.
The Beta lasts for another week, and I'll buy the full release without hesitation.

It comes with custom skins but you can also find and install customs.
I've been trying the betas for quite a while and agree its the best one around. As long as you turn off predictive text, it doesnt lag at all. It's only getting better with updates. Will purchase it too if it ever comes out.
I purchased v3 not so long ago (but before the beta came out).. am I gonna get stiffed and have to buy v4 all over again when that eventually launches? I know its only a few quid but it'll be a pain if I do..

Love thumb keyboard

is there a thumb typing lesson that i can do online. this is great and convenient but unless you're trained to do it, it can slow you down even more.
Thanks! This really made typing a lot easier while holding the device.

The cursor keys work on ssh terminal programs like connectbot, but the tab key does not.
it's a beta, let them know and hopefully it's something that can be fixed before the final release.
How come I don't see it listed in the keyboard list after I installed the apk?

I had to reboot to get it to show up on mine.
I cannot figure out how to change the buttons....I picked large buttons and now I want to change it to small ones and see the difference...it said that you can change but did not say where to do that. I looked in settings and could not see where to change it.

Thank you.

Thanks for pointing this out. Absolutely brilliant - have to say one of the best features is the option to instantly switch between split layout, full screen and half screen keyboard. Plus, none of the lag or missed keypresses, even with prediction on...

Hi all, I just came from iPhone and am really missing the magnifiying glass that pops up when i want to move my text edit cursor between letters. I noticed the Droid X has this feature as well (in fact seems to work better than the iphone's).
My big thumbs can not tap accurately enough between letters, and I do not like the stock Sense kb (I'm using the Gingerbread kb).
Could anyone hook me up with this magnifying glass/cursor movement? I would be very appreciative.
I have fat fingers, too.
You know the GB keyboard you're using already has a helpful feature for this, right? It doesn't magnify anything, but those big text selector tabs just might be the best part of the GB update, lol.

hmmm i am not sure what you are talking about... The only way I know of to move is by tapping, but it is far too inaccurate.
The Gingebread keyboard has big tabs for text selection and moving the cursor. Here's an example:

Oh, Whoa!
Which Gingerbread kb are you using?? That looks sweet and I am pretty sure the one I've got does not have that function. Or if it does, I'm a fool and haven't figured out how to use it....
(I'm stock ROM with an "ruKeyboard 2.0 r19" apk)

the ones i have tried dont have it either. I did go to bestbuy and tried the nexus 2 and it had it and works great.
it isn't a feature of the gingerbread keyboard ports to 2.2, it is only available in the actual 2.3 system.
Sense at least has it in their browser.
I had the very same situation, came from iphone and was frustrated by this. Swype actually has a great text selection setup, just swype from the swype button to the sym button.

Thanks for the clarification.
Even more frustrating is that my buddy's Droid X has a similar function.
Nonetheless, one week into my EVO and loving it.

Once registered you get forum access. Go to the tablet downloads section and get the new Beta.

Interesting, will take some getting use too.
I've been waiting for this and it's finally here... beta version
Thanks for the info.
Had access to this for a while now but I find the layout of thumb keyboard to be far better and easier to type with, didn't use swiftkey much.
Thanks man
Bah... now they're giving us a choice! I'd already made my mind up that I was going to buy thumbkeyboard. Now you're making me re-think.
Although SwiftKey is pretty cool looking, and better then the regular keyboard. I definitely think that ThumbKeyboard is definetly better.
Also has anyone noticed how even with the keyboard dock the SwiftKey prediction three word thing still pops up. I'm not sure if I like to or not yet. But kinda cool. I wonder if they did that on. purpose or not.

Edit: Also for some reason the prediction with the keyboard work really good in the XDA app. Actually fixes any mistakes I make typing. But in every other app i've tried messes up, either by double entering words, or by just adding random letters. Especially if I start typing real fast. Guess that is a problem.
I agree with the above...I make way more mistakes on the swiftkey app and I hate the tron look. I want a matte keyboard layout so back to thumb keyboard I go!
I know it's a beta...it will get better, but for now I'll stick to what works and what I can customize further.
i have the same auto-correct issue of it adding random characters, actually the letter "I" specifically.
Swype beta is open now with honeycomb support. For phone users there is an update as well.

Just installed it a few minutes ago. Works pretty good. Much easier to type since the tablet's screen is big so you can "Swype" more easily.
Reminder: Do not post any Swype apk files on XDA. It's not allowed.
That being said, the Beta is open again so join and you'll get accepted.
just ditched thumb keyboard for the time
I was already in the beta. When trying to install on TF it says this device is not android device. Thoughts?

Make sure your Transformer browser's user-agent is set to Tablet, not Desktop.
It's in the Browser settings under Advance.
Bingo. Thanks. I was using the dolphin browser so using stock did the trick
first impressions are great! Typing from swype now
Wow I love the small keyboard and that its moveable!!!!

Okay got an email with the beta code, but getting an error when tryong to log in with my email address n code....
It's pretty nice. Wish we could move the keyboard all around the screen instead of just on the bottom.

Wow, shows up one day after I broke down and bought Thumb Keyboard. Which, by the way, is only $0.99 from Amazon right now, so it isn't like I broke the bank.
The "shrink" button really makes a nice difference in usability IMO, but I'm still sticking with TK for now. The one-sided keyboard (with the blank space to hold the tablet) is really awesome IMO, and I find that I have really good typing speed on the split keyboard + auto correct.
Going back to tablet keyboard free.
The perfect tablet keyboard would be a split keyboard with swype input. Until that happens I will be using the thumb keyboard split just like on tablet keyboard free.
Loving this new swype
So much easier to use with one finger. Though I'll probably still use thumb keyboard when typing an email. And it seems there's a horrible lag when typing in the browser with swype...
i installed just a moment ago. Really lik swype. its what my transtormer was missing. The browser lag is still there but not as noticeable to me now. Glad this update waa released.
thanks. installed and long time swype user however the hc skin for tk split keyboard is still champ for now. i will remain testing to see if my opinion changes. thanks for posting.
Does anybody actually think the movable keyboard is a good idea? I'm loving Swype on HC, but don't see why anybody would want to put it in that "movable" mode. I could see it making sense if it didn't cover the entire bottom of the screen anyway, but it does. Maybe, I just don't get it....

yes, i am well aware of that. but none of it can be attached to galaxy s and become a slider keyboard. if you find any, i would very appreciate it if you post the links here. thanks
Good idea to start this thread. Just sent in a request to boxwave with a url to this forum, hopefully they will notice the level of interest here!
why do u need bluetooth keyboard while u can type faster with SWYPE or SLIDEIT keyboard?
last time i used to aim for only qwerty keyboard smartphone,
but after i got myself capacitive screens smartphone, i think it is not necessary for a qwerty keyboard, it is even slower

i personally do like soft keyboard, but not swype. when the screen gets smudged, swype will make it more messy.
my favourite is gingerbread keyboard, but even that gives me errors. a hard keyboard, to me, although require more practice, but will get the job done once you get used to it. i've tried and liked it.
another thing is, playing games using a hard keyboard is so much easier.
Holy crap, it looks amazing! But phone will look like a fat brick... hmmm request sendet afterall

Hi nishanthhh! I'm one of the Say What You See developers!
Are you sure it froze? The app downloads quite a bit of data when it's first loaded, so you may need to be patient?
If it did fully crash, it'd be great to know what sort of device and OS version you're using so we can try and fix it for you!
Really like to hear from anyone else about the app too - it's our first Android app, so we really want to make it as great an experience as possible!
Or, y'know, at least have it so that you can play the flipping thing.
Cheers,
Jon

Tried the game and had no fcs. The good thing is that it works and is fun. The bad thing is that its quite difficult cause I never had an iPhone or heard of this game. Just one request, I want to zoom in on the picture more cause its quite small and I have to strain my eyes.
ok I tried this app but as a french guy this is clearly too difficult for me, not to mention im not really a movie fan

Hi Juhan! We'll see if we can increase the magnification a bit, certainly down't want to send you running to the opticians!
Hi Jon_SWYS, I have just sent an email to yourselves via your online form with some suggestions and a bug report.
I will attach the email here so anyone else can also comment on if they have the same problems?
I have a few suggestions and a bug report for the current version.
Suggestions: I have been playing this on my Nexus 7, and because the keyboard takes up quite a bit of room, you can't always see the full, flashing clue as it is obscured by the keyboard. Would there be a way that we could hide the keyboard, while keeping the clue flashing and highlighted?
Possibly being able to scroll while the clue is highlighted would be beneficial too, but that is less of an issue.
Bug report: On my Nexus 7, when I try and buy more coins I get a "Sorry there was a problem making a purchase on this device. Please check that your System is up to date and you have the latest version of Google Play installed. I am running 4.2.1. It works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I hope this report helps, and my suggestion makes some sense?
