A friend of mine just got a galaxy note, one cool feature I like is that instead of typing on the keyboard to write a vtext say, you can actually write on the screen and the writing appears in the text box. Anybody know if that's something is skyrocket users can get? Or if there's an app that does it.

There's an app called Graffiti(R) that works as a replacement for the keyboard and gives you handwriting recognition. I haven't used it so I can't comment on how good it is, but it looks exactly like the handwriting recognition section on my old Palm.

FlexT9 keyboard has the ability to switch between keyboard, voice and handwriting recognition.
The voice recognition is pretty good as is the handwriting recognition.

I know the Samsung and Swype keyboard you can hold down the SYM or ?123 keys for a directional pad but does the stock android keyboard have anything similar for precision text selection?
you can do WHATNOW?
how do you make it work?
What keyboard are you using?

What he's talking about is on the swype keyboards if u swype from the tutorial key to sym (symbol) key (bottom left) it brings up a directional keyboard. Try it, you'll like it. Sorry op I don't ever use that other keyboard. Im sick with swype

I have had this phone for a month and never knew you could get directional keys like that. That will definitely make edits easier. OP is my hero now.

Haha glad I could help. I'm curious why everyone uses the samsung keyboard, I feel its performance and dictionary are great but the layout is completely horrible. I'm talking mostly about the , ? and @ key locations. I just found an app called SmartKeyboard which has the layout of the Androod keyboard but includes the extra Samung features (in the pro version for 3 bucks). I think I'm going to spend the cash on this one

The word suggestions on the default keyboard can be a bit hit or miss, but my only real complaints are the size and behavior of the caps key. Half the time I try to type an A I get caps and I still haven't figured out how to change caps in the middle of a word without going back and editing manually. I am looking forward to your review of that new keyboard. If it works I will buy as well.

Any reason why you're not just using Swype and its arrow key function? I guess some people still like to type thumb-style, but since I was a ridiculously sloooow typer (combo of limited # of texts + my obsession with grammatical correctness), Swype has been a godsend. I'm only moderately slow now
I come from a blackberry where I could type rediculously fast even while not looking most of the time so I guess I'm just used to this kind of style. I tried the swype keyboard with the swipe function but I found it laggy and slow for me to type. I guess if I gave it some time I would get used to it but with word prediction at 3-4 letters with the android keyboard I am a beast. My only beef with the android keyboard is the lack of a smart dictionary like the XT9. So far this SmartKeyboard trial is great but I think I'm going to buy it so I can try it with the dictonary and let you all know how it goes. When buying an app from the market, does it remember your purchase so if I wipe my phone in a week I can redownload it without paying again?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes. As far as I know purchases are linked to your main gmail account. As long as you sign in with the same one you can download all your apps again.

If you are rooted, there is a screen capture app in the market. If not, you can use the android SDK and there is a tool - the Dalvik Debug Monitor that will do a screen cap. You have to run ddm.bat to launch the app, and have your phone in USB debug mode.
I think my next step will be rooting above anything else, thanks for the info

could i get an example of why its so cool? I installed it and took a look at it and it just looked like a regular keyboard with a skin.
thanks.
I like it because to me it has great word prediction. When the settings are on rapid, and I can just tap away and not really worry about what I pressed, because it usually knows what I'm trying to type out. I haven't had much luck with my large fingers and any other keyboards. It also learn from your sms, facebook, and twitter.

No Swype = non-starter.
I liked it at first until it made ntt phone really slow. At some times it used more ram than android os.

No longer free so I'm closing this before people start whining about missing the offer and asking for apks...
Highly recommend it! The AI predictive capability is so much better than anything else I've used. Can oftentimes type with only one or two clicks per word.
But note that the word predictions are currently disabled for the HTC email app on the ThunderBolt. This was a quick fix for the predicted words blocking the text box in landscape mode on some screens. They are now aware of the problem and actually received a ThunderBolt today to test on (they are in England). I think the fix should be very easy because the predicted words are no longer blocking the text box when typing in the Subject line of emails in landscape mode.
In the meantime, the predictive capability still works great in Gmail, TouchDown (for MS Exchange), the Comcast Xfinity app, etc.
Thanks, Robertus
cool! Thanks.

While you're in a document or text box typing, long press on the screen, choose Input method and then select SwiftKey X.
Thanks, Robertus
I used to have an HTC Blue Angel and the predictive text was excellent for me I could type really quickly.
Ever since I changed to a Touch HD the predictive text chooses the wrong words, automatically sticks in bits of text I don't want and frequently will double type stuff when I use backspace to delete a wrong character.
Does anyone know how the get the Blue Angel PT onto a Touch HD it's been driving me nuts for a couple of years now nad my only real complaint with the device.
Well that's is a little bit complicated to do.
What I would recommend is to simply change your keyboard to SwiftKey keyboard or you could install a rom which might solve your problem

I'm running the Galaxy S2 and hate the keyboard. I haven't used many android phones that I actually lik ethe keyboard on. They all seem to have a mind of their own. Just turn off any sort of autocorrect or preditive text. I tried a bunch of keyboard apps and the one i liked most was iTap. It's suppose to be like the iPhone keyboard but eventually I ended up giving up on that one to.
I did not see another topic on this yet. Is anyone else losing their unsaved notes due to S Note crashing? It seems to happen most when I am switching between the three different functions.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
yes, crashing for me too
I am also seeing lots of crashes with S-Note. It happens frequently when I change from the text recognition tool to the pen tool and back. Have lost 1 hour of notes multiple times.
I was trying to get more proficient with S-Note last night and noticed this as well. In trying to do some copy and paste in split screen i kept crashing the app. Did a full shut down last night and thought i would try again today. Had not shut down my GN for over a week and thought that might have had somerhing to do with it.

I have never understood the appeal of the handwiring recognition.
It seems to me you can just type faster and more accurately. If your handwriting is good enough for the recognition software to work flawlessly why not just write?
For me it is a gimmick.

I have big hands. I can only type fast on full-size keyboards.The pen actually woks better than a keyboard for me. Also, I got used to a Microsoft natural keyboard. Mobile and laptop keyboards are not easy for me.
