Before flashing a new rom to my tablet, when I used samsung keyboard and went into handwriting mode, I was able to switch back to QWERTY with a click of a button. But now, instead of the keyboard icon, there is the settings icon; therefore I need to press and hold it so that it shows the keyboard option.
Is there a way to set up the keyboard so that the default of that icon is back to QWERTY and not to settings?
I know it's not a big deal, and that I could switch back to QWERTY by pressing and holding. However as a student, it'll be helpful for me to be able to switch from handwriting to QWERTY quickly.

Don't know why, but for some odd reason the Fuze just decided to switch to compact QWERTY, and when I try to change it from the input menu, it just reverts right back to compact QWERTY. Any help on how to make it stop this?
Go to a place where you get the touch keyboard and look at the icon at the bottom, theres an arrow designating a menu. Open the menu and change it to the keyboard of choice.
Does anyone know of a tweak, hack or app that would do the following:
I want to be able to switch more easily between Phone keypad entry with XT9 enabled and QWERTY in ABC mode.
What I mean is that when you come across a word not in the dictionary it’s pretty fiddly to change to ABC and then use your fingernail to call up the change input method screen to QWERTY. I’d like to be able to hit the XT9/ABC toggle and have it automatically switch from Phone keypad to QWERTY at the same time. Another good use would be if you’re merrily typing away in XT9 phone keypad mode and hit the ‘+’ to add a new word to the dictionary – it would be cool if it changed momentarily to QWERTY to allow you to enter the word and then shifted back into XT9/Phone Keypad automatically when finished.
I know it sounds lazy, but I really think this would make the text input much more ergonomic.
Any ideas?
no-one? Seriously?
I wonder is this in the wrong forum??
*bumpety bump*
google nusipstylus.
that will do the trick.
When you pull out the stylus you can enter on a full keyboard and when you put the stylus back in you get the htc keyboard.
here it is...
Hi
Thanks a million for the response.
However, I've found that app made my device agonisingly slow.
In any case, I think this is somewhat of a retrograde step. I was actually after someone to mod the HTC keyboards to just allow a quick toggle between XT9 and ABC that would default back after you hit the space key.
I really appreciate you taking the time to send me the .cab, but I'm afraid it's not quite what I was looking for.
I recently started using shapewriter on my Nexus one. Not really sure why it gets a bad wrap since after I got used to it, I can type about twice as fast with fewer errors as using a regular soft keyboard or keyboard replacement which was welcome since I lost my HW G1 keyboard switching to Nexus. And hell it's free and legal. But I had a couple of quick questions in case anybody else on here uses it.
1. Sometimes I want to use the regular android keyboard for apps like terminal, is there a menu key to let me switch to the android keyboard. On the regular keyboard it's just hold down 123 button and switch inputs. I can't seem to find an equivalent in shapewriter unless I go back to the android settings page and shutoff shapewriter manually in there.
2. anyway to set a gesture to launch the voice input stuff since there isn't a voice input shortcut on the keyboard.
Thanks!

I'm looking for a keyboard that has the secondary characters over the primary ones as well as the voice input key.
I didn't like shapewriter and better keyboard seems to be missing the voice input keys.
Like the stock keyboard, but hate having to push a seperate key to get numbers and then again for the letters.
To change the keyboard just hold down on the text field until the menu pops up and select input method

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is a very useful tip and almost exactly what I need. The one app that tip doesn't seem to work for is terminal, which is the app I mainly need to switch back to the stock keyboard as it is the only one supported. or perhaps I should find a better terminal program.
Though its not as good as the HTC IME keyboard with a Voice to Text, a Long press on '.' will bring up a menu to select punctuation. I just found this out yesterday.
I hate the keyboard on the EVO i am new to the phone and did not know if there was an app or hack that could change the keyboard. my two main problems are i hate having to press the 123 button to get to the numbers and sym. i came from a palm pre and there was a button that just switched to the sym. for you. and when using in landscape mode and typing you have to click the button to close the keyboard to hit the send, search, ect. button clicking the enter button just adds a new line. makes me want to type on the compact keyboard all the time which defeats the purpose of having the landscape keyboard.
Thanks,

There are lots of different keyboards available in the Market. Look up Smart Keyboard or Better Keyboard for starters.
I just got the official Samsung keyboard cover for my Tab S2. It seems that the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work properly if the default on-screen keyboard is Swype (my favorite). I have to manually select the Samsung on-screen keyboard to make the bluetooth keyboard work correctly.
Is there any way to automatically switch to the Samsung on-screen keyboard when the bluetooth keyboard is turned on, and switch back to Swype when the bluetooth keyboard is turned off? There is a power switch on the bluetooth keyboard, so turning it on/off is not a problem.
Thanks.
I have a partial solution for now. I installed Swiftkey. It doesn't show the virtual keyboard when the Bluetooth keyboard is turned on. It does still show the word predictions at the bottom, however. Not quite as annoying as Swype. I'll have to use Swiftkey for a while and see how it compares to Swype, which I've been using for years.
If anyone has a solution to my original problem, I'd love to hear it.
