Anyone using this yet? Pretty smooth so far..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Seems ok in my limited testing. I always found the prediction engine in SwiftKey to work the best, having swipe just makes it better. I was going to try the tablet version on my Nexus 7 but I guess the download site is swamped as it couldn't connect. Most likely because guys like you are posting it all over XDA...
been using it all morning so far so good
Odd... In some cases it won't let me swipe.. Like the main search on the xda app for example..

My first install was awful, it installed, but the prediction boxes on top weren't working. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it's been working fine ever since.
Although, I think it predicts words better if you actually type the words. You can't select the word you wanted to type if it guesses the wrong word

I don't like the fact that if it got the wrong word when you swipe, you have to backspace over all of the letters. I think the stock 4.2 keyboard will delete the whole word if you backspace once. It might be an option though, I haven't looked that closely yet. Other than that, no real issues. Haven't decided if I'm going to stick with it or not, even though I bought it.

U just have to hold down the back button to delete the whole word, or back up one space in order to get more suggestions..

for me swiftkey in general, flow included, just seems really slow and laggy, would be great if it was as fast as aosp keyboard, and the swype doesnt work that well yet

I've only used Swype as far as having something to compare it to...and it seems faster to me. I also like the prediction better than swype.
I don't type often(I mostly swipe), but when I have used it for typing it seems pretty fast....a little lag now and then.. I also do NOT miss the glitches in Swype, such as not spacing automatically in the browser and other apps...this has been good for that.
Keep in mind it's a beta, and as fast as the previous version is, I'm sure this can only get better...they've already got a great start..
So its been a week. Flow works pretty smooth for me but I did notice that the prediction needs a little work. But all in all I see a solid keyboard app worth using.

Has anyone else experienced the inability to search from within a website using flow? For example, using Chrome or Google search if I navigate to xda, rotten tomatoes, imdb or android central(those are the sites that I've tested on) I can't search from within that specific site. After I switched back to SwiftKey 3 I was able to search successfully. I haven't checked the forums over at SwiftKey yet so that will be my next step. Thanks

Google Reader sharing to Facebook doesn't allow the use of flow swiping. Hope they fix that as I'm sure there are other instances it won't work.

Don't know if people have been trying to use it lately because I had issues in the past trying to get it to work properly. I got notified of v3.0 and I was able to install it successfully and boy must I say that it works and looks better than ever. This is a must have for anybody looking for an alternative.
What I dislike is that you still cant use it with the stock mail app

I agree! This is really a great update to the most used app on my phone! I REALLY like it, I think they really really improved it. Seems faster to me too. And I like the ability to add words to the dictionary instead of them adding automatically.
I'm sure there are more options, I just haven't explored yet.
I don't use the stock mail app but it works fine in the gmail app.
No auto space working still. So annoying. Shapewriter it is

I dont know what you guys are talking about. Swype 3.0 works in the stock mail app and auto spacing has always worked for me...

Same here! I don't get it.
Some ppl may not realize swype adds spaces when you enter the NEXT word. It makes more sense if spaces were added when you lift your finger, but it doesn't work that way.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
For me, the only place that swype doesn't use auto space is in the messages app. I checked on swype's forums and they said this was due to the stock app having a different input flag. Apparently it's marked as a web address form, which makes swype stop auto spacing.

? Works fine for me. (using Swype 1.6)
Yes I stopped using swype because it sucked. But this new version rocks. Nice upgrade swype. And yes auto space works as normal.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Swype has always worked for me. The only thing that's a bit annoying is I have to reenable it after a reboot.
I love the new word choice bar instead of the bubble.
So intuitive and easy to use. Only time I don't use it is in Terminal Emulator.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
1.6 worked flawlessly for me. I decided to go with the new 3.x and it works but it's a bit more of a re-learning curve IMO.

No clue why. Using plainjane. The other beta on mr1 never auto spaces either. I have the option checked.

What version are you using? It works flawlessly for me. I just downloaded the latest version today.
Just tried it to make sure. No spaces. Version 3.6.84.26668
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yeah I'm using the same version, the only thing I can think of is either 1. check swype settings and make sure auto spacing is enabled or 2. like someone else posted, once you do your first word start the second word and see if it automatically puts a space. On mine it doesn't appear to have a space until you start the second word.

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.

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.

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.
