[Q] Setting up swiping keyboard 3.2 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Setting up swiping keyboard 3.2
I think since 3.2 that the "swyping" keyboard ( onscreen) isn't working as often in "swype" mode. Is there some finer control over that?
Thanks,

Onscreen keyboard tracing control.
I had forgotten I'd posted this for months, then just searched and found it and realized I still don't understand if there's any control we've got over when the onscreen keyboard works in 'tracing' mode, and when it doesn't.
It does seem to me that it works much less in tracing mode than when I got it. I've got the 3.2 SW, rooted, and the stock ROM and Kernel aboard, so it is likely not anything I've changed.
When I look at the keyboard settings I don't see anything that addresses this so any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Hashi

[Q] Keyboard firmware - Enter button on keyboard

I have been having problems with the enter button on the keyboard lately. Does anyone have locations of keyboard firmwares to try Out?
Maybe there is a simpler solution.
Problems
1. Hitting enter when entering in a web address inserts a space instead of activating the search/URL
2. In youtube Enter normally submits the comment. Now it will go to the next line and there is no way to submit the comment in the You Tube application.
All modifiers have been tried (alt, ctrl, and shift)
Any help would be greatly Appreciated! Thank you so Much!

instead of firmware...
what keyboard layout are you using? AFAIK if you change it, it can change the dock keyboard layout as well... PITA if you ask me...

Swiftkey

Is anyone out there using Swiftkey tablet. I use it because of the Dvorak keyboard layout, mainly because the Note doesnt seeem to support keyboard layouts other than Qwerty.
When I type in Swiftkey it seems to be registering multiple keystrokes. This doesnt happen in the stock samsung keyboard or SlideIt
No problems here. Try uninstalling and then re installing

Did you try Polaris Office and S Note.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Still does it in these two apps.
I'm using SwiftKey without any issues. I've used both Polaris and S Note. Did you try a restart? Could be some sort of magnetic issue that might be resolved that way. Big bummer. Sorry.
I have swiftkey on all my devices except the Note10.1.
Does Swiftkey support big, small hovering and split keyboard like original keyboard ?

It supports big and split, but no hovering.
does using a keyboard other than the stock one still allow you to use the S-pen instead of the keyboard whenever you want to? I know that the stock keyboard has the setting button that you press to select text recognition for using the pen within the browser.
Think it's a common issue but I can't get SwiftKey T to learn from my Gmail.
Anyone else having this problem?? Or have a suggestion.??

I'm using SwiftKey 3, but I've been experiencing a lot of freezing+force closing when using it with Chrome.
Hovering would be nice. It offers all else that I need.
Hi all,
I work for SwiftKey. Please be sure to post bug reports (one at a time) on our public forum at support.swiftkey.net. We also welcome suggestions there. Regarding Droidcarp's note that there appears to be some difficulty with personalization, our Dev Team has been made aware of this report and they are looking into it for you.
Again, our public forum is the best place for suggestions and bug reports. This allows us to streamline the development process so we can continue to make SwiftKey as excellent as possible for you.
Thanks very much,

As long as you dropped in, HWR would be good, too. Sammy offers a hover keyboard and HWR, also. Started using their split keyboard - very nice - and offers HWR.

Thanks for the tip budalica.
Any idea how to get the handwriting key to be included?
It is a shame the standard samsung keyboard doesnt support dvorak
Definitely needs handwriting support and the arrow keys like the phone keyboard.
For now it's fine to leave the stock keyboard set on handwriting and use the keyboard switcher in the notifications to switch but it would be useful for it to be integrated.
Also maybe a way to adjust the width, in split mode it seems too wide and I have big hands!
I switched to swift key also from swype today and noticed an echo like effect in snote, working fine in the xda app but broken in the snote app.

A few people are reporting this issue on the swiftkey forums.
I sent SwiftKey a refund request but a week later I have had no response

My stock Samsung keyboard can no longer provide haptic feedback after installing the SwiftKey tablet, does anyone have the same problem.? I think doesn't matter how you change the settings, and it just doesn't vibrate

Disable sliding between letters on stock JB keyboard?

Does anyone know how to disable the ability to slide between keys on the keyboard in JB?
My tablet (transformer prime) on JB does not do this, and I find it annoying on my phone because as I go for another letter, the keyboard always thinks I hit the letter next to the one I intended.
Or does anyone know of any 3rd party keyboards that would achieve this (though I prefer to somehow disable stock). Thanks
Do u mean swype.....???
If so go into setting
And switch to android keyboard

Change input when keyboard docks?

Is there any way/app that can change the input method when docking and undocking the keyboard? I prefer to use swiftkey flow when undocked but the keyboard conflicts with it when docked. has anyone found anyway to get round this, without having to go into settings etc? thanks
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
I haven't heard of 'swiftkey flow', only SwiftKey itself (hated it for a 10.1, I want to turn off all suggestions and corrections when I have a keyboard big enough for normal typing.), so if I misunderstood, ignore me
While you're at a point where you can type, a small keyboard icon appears in the notification bar in the lower right corner. Tap it and select the correct keyboard.
I don't know if there's a way to do it automatically (isn't there a setting in swiftkey somewhere?)
Also, are you using the right swiftkey version? There's a tablet version and a normal one...
Flow is the newest version,i never liked it before, but flow is much more like swype. I haven't found any setting to do it, but an automated way would be awesome XD
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
If you're rooted you can use Tasker with the Secure Settings plug in. I use it to assign different keyboards for different apps, and also to switch to the stock keyboard when docked...
There's also Keyboard Manager in the Play Store (but I prefer Tasker):

[Q] Liquidsmooth Keyboard

So the current ROM(liquidics for droid2) doesn't support the physical keyboard very well. The lights stay on when its closed and pulling it out doesn't change the orientation. Is there a way I could pull keyboard modules or whatever handles the keyboard from another ROM that works (AOKP or CM9) and patch them over it?

Have you tried installing a third party app yet? E.g. TouchPal X ?

Not third-party, but I did install Google Keyboard. I don't see how that would effect the physical keyboard much as I ran a ROM before where the android keyboard service kept crashing, but the slide-out still worked.

Hardware buttons and softkeys are controlled by keyboard app too as far as i know.
I think you're right about the virtual keyboard handling the physical one, but I think Android itself controls the back lights and orientation. I've tried some third party apps and they don't fix it.
