If anyone has used SwiftKey X then you'll like SwiftKey 3. Has two new themes that would go great with ICS themes. You can get the new keyboard from the Market.
This works absolutely perfect thanks for the heads up

Bought it way back when they had it for 99cents, Definitely nice to see some new changes.
Does anybody else have a little keyboard symbol that pops up in the notification bar every time they type something with the SK keyboard? It goes away once you're done typing. Dragging the notification bar down shows that the symbol corresponds to "set input method." Clicking it takes you to the languages and input settings.
I've already configured all of that through SK. Any way to make it stop?
Thanks for the heads up on this. I've purchased both SwiftKey X for my Infuse and SwiftKey X Tablet for my HTC Flyer. In my opinion, it's one of the best Android keyboards out right now. I'll definitely give the beta a look.
Edit: Looks like the update is in the Play Store now and is free for those who paid for SK X. Sweet.

Swype is a solid keyboard, but I just can't bring myself to swype. I'd rather throw the phone sideways and text in landscape. Although, most keyboards are easier to use on this 4.5" screen!
This is probably the best keyboard ever I bought it a long time ago it even works perfect on this old school motor backdrop

I wanted to love this keyboard, and for the most part I do. However, I keep having this problem where it saves a period to the end of each word. Say, if I were to finish a sentence with the word "hotdog" I would type "hotdog." From then on, every time I type "hotdog" and hit the space key, it auto-corrects to "hotdog. " Does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on disabling it? I've tried all of the different space function settings, but nothing fixes it. Otherwise, I would love this app.
I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard now with Infused V2B3, and it's working really well for me, but I think that without the aforementioned issue SwiftKey X would be at the top of my list.

Does this happen on every app? I ask this because some input methods used to have bugs on Google+.
Maybe you can try enabling and disabling 'Quick "."' in 'Advanced'?

I haven't found a keyboard better than the Gingerbread or ICS keyboard yet. Nothing else can keep up with how fast I type. I like Swiftkey X a lot due to it's fairly accurate predictions, but I can't type as fast on it without it's multitouch getting confused.
Also, themes and apps section next time!
I've tried most and use go keyboard also. I struggle hitting the period button when pushing space on most keyboards, therefore I have to be using one with a long spacebar or a spacebar that is shaded to the left right next to the back arrow.

I do the same damn thing and it pisses me off sometimes. Sometimes I look back at something I wrote and I have a period like 7 times instead of a space.
I tried modifying the apk to increase the size of the spacebar, minimizing the size of the return or smiley key, however it didn't seem to change anything. If someone else is more experienced with modifying something like that, I would LOVE a new ICS keyboard build with a longer spacebar more than anything.

Swift Key X. I honestly don't see how any keyboard could be any better. So many options, some alright themes and it corrects so quickly and I love the vibration every key. I hated it on Sammy's stock keyboard but it feels like I'm doing work. I can text so quickly and it will pick out nearly every butchered word. I love it. They have a month trial..

I thought Go keyboard was pretty good at first until I tried its swiping capabilities which were awful. If you don't swipe the letters perfectly it doesn't seem to be able to determine what you were trying to write. I don't seem to have a problem with swiftkey lag. Maybe I just don't type fast enough
another +1 for Swift Key. Just a few minor quirks but with out a doubt the best as far as accuracy and speed.

Hey there SwiftKey fans,
We have a brand new Beta for you to try out! As always, we have made changes based on feedback from our VIPs, and we want to thank them for helping us to make this version of SwiftKey 3 Beta the best yet.
This new Beta has:
Improved prediction algorithms
Better, more consistent punctuation key behavior
Smarter Smart Space functionality (which will make it easier to enter email addresses etc)
A refined experience in Google Chrome Beta
Fixed missing predictions on the longpress of @ and .com
Improved gestures
Eliminated lag on letter pop-ups
Various other minor bug fixes and usability improvements
You can download the new Beta for your phone here: http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta , or for your tablet here: http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3tabletbeta
Thanks for this, looks nice, I'm using it to type this message, soo much better than the crappy old version!

What does everyone think about the beta? I love the new themes and bigger space bar, but having no gestures and all punctuation on the same button having me scratch my head. I loved the swipe to delete a whole word feature!

Thanx, been waiting to try this.
Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the "Select Input Notification" to constantly pop up while using this? I've looked thru the SwiftKey settings to no avail. It's super annoying and distracting.
Anyway to change the period to a question mark? They had a question mark there before. Now it takes so long to add commas and question marks

I really hope they put back in the long-press duration setting. I find this one of the most appealing parts of SwiftKey.
Will they update SwiftKey X to SwiftKey 3 or do we need to buy another keyboard?

I dont known but you can have two kbs installed and choose one of them. In my list of kbs appears "Swiftkey X" and Swiftkey 3 Beta".

Yea, I hope I don't need to buy another keyboard for what should be enough to justify as just an update.
As as for the lag, that seems to have gotten a lot better after switching themes from cobalt to holo. Still is kind of laggy though.

There are two points that i dont like at all about last beta. The short size of letters/simbols amb my clear theme (like ics) that does not appear in theme list.

Also, when you long press the period to access the punctuation, the first option after pressing should be a comma. Why should anyone long press the period only to select period.

Anyone else having problems with recorrection using the stock ICS keyboard? I thought it was working when I first installed it but doesn't seem to be the case anymore. On my Xoom or N1 running stock ICS, if I place my cursor back on a word I've previously typed it will bring back up the auto-correct suggestions, so you can choose the correct one (like if it didn't guess right). Most people familiar with the ICS kb are likely familiar with this feature.
Any feedback appreciated, this is one of the best features of the keyboard.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I've tried clearing the app data of the KB. No dice.

On every other android phone I've owned you could have as many keyboards as you wanted enabled without annoying popup icons. It seems that icon is there no matter what keyboard you're currently using unless you disable them in the keyboards settings menu.

I thought the stock “Swype” was so bad that I was going to send the phone back. Got Swype Beta and it made all the difference in the world.

I have to agree about Swype, I feel like the latest update has been a step back. My complaints are:
1) they removed the "delete whole words" shortcut found in the menu when you Swype to the #5
2) I dislike how my Swype button rarely highlights a word so I can change it. Sometimes it will just keep going to the beginning of every word until it gets to the beginning of the sentence/paragraph.
3) the responsiveness for punctuation seems to miscalculate and place an error more frequently than I've seen in prior versions.
It feels like a step back although not much is missing. I've been using it for roughly a year so I know how far Swype has come.

Wow.....just installed swype beta instead of this stock samsung crap that was on before. Probably 96% accurate now instead of ~50%. It's now bearable to put text down with just one thumb again Now I just want that microphone icon on the swype keyboard so I can talk if I wanted.
I have been using Swype since my OG Droid and I don't think I could ever use another keyboard again. One tip I have is to turn off the auto-correct, especially useful if you use any shorthand or slang in texts etc.
SlimSnoopOS - I totally agree on #2, I hate that it only highlights the previous word about 25% of the time now. I can't figure it out, its like its totally random now...
I was a huge fan of Swype. After changing android phones without Swype on it, I started looking. Amazon offered Flex T-9 as the free app of the day some time ago which I lucked up and downloaded for free. This is the BEST app out there right now.
Not sure if they have a free trial, but it's definitely worth the money!

Agreed, stock swype is awful. It seems that it's attempt at "learning" has actually made it worse. I feel like it was more accurate 3 weeks ago than it is now.

The voice detection is still there, it's just the flame icon now (at the bottom right next to the Search/Return button).
The icon change was because Swype was bought by Nuance, which also owns Dragon Naturally Speaking (the flame logo). They are branding the voice search, which is why the icon has changed. I hope this also leads to some under-the-hood improvements thanks to the merger.
You can consider using Swiftkey 3 as well
I find it to be a lot better at text prediction although it may not work for those who prefer swyping
Just saying thanks guys. Beta Swype is awesome and is a million times more accurate than stock solution.
