HTC Sensation + Swype

Just FYI, Swype works just fine on the HTC Sensation and is still the best/fastest keyboard for any device (IMHO).
The Beta program at Swype is currently open to new members.

I am having issues with swype on htc sensation. I am not able to get french and german languages. I only have english us/uk, portuguese, italian and spanish. I used to have french and german with swype on my htc magic. Anyone with a solution?

Oh, I wasn't aware. Thank you very for pointing that out. Gosh, I'm missing swype badly.

Hi
I am having issue getting swype to work on Sensation. I installed it from the beta page and it's enable in the Keyboard settings on the phone but the regular sense keyboard keeps coming up. Help !

Press the text box (where you want to type, so the address bar in the browser) click input method from the box that comes up, then Swype.

No problem

Disregard.

I've registered with two different emails and I've requested to have the activation resent but they don't send anything. I've checked my junk mail. Does anyone have the actual apk or am I stuck?

Have to say it looks awesome with qHD now supported, works very well too

Just be patient, when I first registered it took a few days to get it.

Alright, I just want it so bad. I'm so used to it. Thanks.

What's the difference between Swype and Trace which is already on the sense keyboard? Also, can you use a standard phone keyboard with Swype? I've been using the standard phone keyboard in portrait, but when I turn the phone to landscape to bring up the full keyboard, the trace function is missing. It only works when the portrait keyboard is set to full keyboard.

got it.
still puzzles me why HTC decided not to load Swype on the Sensation and come up with their own...
anyway, what is up with the part of the agreement saying it can/may read your passwords, credit card info, ect?
edit: never mind... didn't realize it's a standard Android message for non market typing app... doh! lol

One sucks and one doesn't lol (j/k). Swype has been around a while been adjusted and tweaked based on feedback of millions of users. Trace, while a nice attempt by HTC to add the same functionality doesn't come close

I'd say try it again now. My brother was trying all night to get the email sent & it never went through. Went back today to get the verification email resent & it was instant.

Thanks man...I will try this out...

Is this a port of the original JB keyboard or is it the same as your ICS one with a skin on top?
From the picture above, it appears to be almost the same as the ICS, so what is the difference? eep2378 in another thread says that the main difference between ICS & JB his the prediction. Is that in here too?
Thanks

I have uploaded it to the market and this is the link. This may take some time until it will show up in the market.
I have also attached the file to the post.

Beansoft did a similar release to the Play store, but reported these known issues:
* User dictionary doesn't work on ICS (adding words will cause a fc)
* Only English, German, French, Spanish, Portugese (Brazil) and Russian supported

Please comment on if your release also has these issues.

I started typing and it gives predictions almost when i finished the word. It also won't predict what could be my next word until I type most of the word. Not sure if it is expected to work this way.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

Nice idea and i'd love to see it (specially prediction) working. But doesn't work on my N1 with AOSP 4.0.4 -> fc -> uninstalled.

Downloading now!!

Have been a loyal user of your ICS keyboard~ Would be great if you can add the same tweaks (e.g. long press enter to get smiley selections) to the JB keyboard as well.

samsung keyboard crashes when handwriting

hi
I have the jelly bean update already for a while and using snote again.
I wanted to use handwriting, but the samsung keyboard crashes instantly.
even after reboot or restartn of the app.
in the input settings it gives me a option of google and samsung keyboard whereas samsung is ticked and I cant untick it.
anybody has a idea on this???
thx

You cannot untick it as that is more of an option to give you options of what keyboard to select there is no google keyboard its voice.
Are you rooted because yours is a very stage problem
Try this go to application Manager - All Apps - Samsung Keyboard and select clear data see if that works

After doing the above, if you can get into settings, there should also be updates for the languages. Try updating your language choice.

There are two seperate language settings - one for the typing keyboard and one for handwriting. Go in to Settings>Language and input>Samsung keyboard settings>Handwriting>Input languages and make sure the language you're using is set properly and accept an update if it's offered.

Hi @ all
my language Was set for German And English
the reset helped
thanks to you all

May be it is because of that not sure Barry may be able to tell for certain but did you try keep both the languages same because theoraticaly it should not work with two different languages

Um... can I use handwriting to type on it? I have the N8013 and I can't tick or select "handwriting" in the Language and Inputs. There is no text box. I tried to see if I could write in the "split keyboard" layout. If this is not where you do it, can you please assist me? Can it only be done in the S Note app?

That's how I found out there were two seperate handwriting language settings. When I updated to the BTU JB ROM I lost all ability to use handwriting; the option (shown below) wasn't offered. For some reason no language was set in the handwriting settings. When I selected U.S. English it actually had to be downloaded. It was fine after that and the option reappeared.

Mine looks different. Samsung Keyboard. N8013

Need a keyboard supporting arrows

Iam using swiftkey keyboard on my Note 1 N7000 and love the arrows feautre to move between words to correct or change words, this feature is not available for swiftkey keyboard tablet version,or the stock keybord, any other recommendations?

I admit this is a major failing for Swiftkey keyboard, which is otherwise a cracking keyboard.
Thumb keyboard has multiple layouts for tablets and also includes arrow keys.

will look at it, do you use it? how is it compared with swiftkey?
Edit
ooops, does not support my native language (Arabic):crying:

Have you tried Hacker's Keyboard in the Play Store. I think it is one of the best layouts available.

Just another tip (especially for those needing some greek letters for math symbols, i.e. α, β, γ, δ, ε, θ, λ, μ, π, ρ, φ, ψ, ω, Γ, Π, Σ, Φ, Ψ, Ω....)
You may ask yourself (as I did): "How can I insert all those symbols if there's no "sym" button?"
Simple answer: in the "Settings" - "Input languages" select "Eλληνικά [el]" (Greek) as an additional input language. After that, with a quick slide on the spacebar, you'll have all those Greek letters in the Greek keyboard layout.
Other examples of symbols that can be typed with the "Hacker's keyboard" are:
≤, ≥, ≈, √, ā, ∞ (x±y)²=x²+y²±2x•y
And, if you use the the Circle key another plenty of exotic symbols can be added, such as
♥ ⓚ a₁ ⅘2ⁿ...
(see this and this links)
It would be much simpler by using the traditional ALT+CharCode combination for the Ascii characters, but I didn't find a way to use that method (the Alt key seems not to combine with the character numeric code).

Have you tried enabling the "Sliding key events" in the options? I've tried and it seems it doesn't actually work to be used as a swipe feature. But I'm no "swipe" expert so I can't be sure....

I choosed the recommended settings: Ignore keys during sliding movement, and dose not do any thing
tried all other settings and no swipe

I am using swiftkey phone edition on my tablet and it has both swipe and arrows. (i did not see a reason why i had to buy a different version for my tablet and I'm glad I didn't).

Take a look at Kii. Got it today after seeing this thread and doing a bit of looking. Liking it so far. Arrows, numerics, special characters with long press and several templates.

Google Keyboard (gboard) issue with EMUI 4.0.x

Hello everybody,
since the upgrade to Android 6 I had problem with the Google keyboard, basically I can't choose any language but English (US) and Tibetan!
I tried to download old versions of Google keyboard through APKmirror but the only result is that I don't get anymore Tibetan as option.
Logcat doesn't give any useful information.
Upgrading another H60-L12 of a friend we encountered the very same issue.

I need at least Italian, but I was used to have few other languages that I use less often
and I'm studying. It's very strange that I can't see the other dictionaries...
Of course now I'm using SwiftKey but I prefer gboard, I find it much more faster and comfortable.

I got the same problem. It's crashing when I try to access the settings.
I use German and English. But when I'm typing only English dictionary is available although I see "DE EN" in the space bar.
But I cannot switch between these languages.
I've also installed APK manually but this didn't help either.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

From Gboard
Hold the comma key.
Select languages.
Turn off Use System Language.
Select the language you need
Hold space bar to select languages
Quite surprising you're getting only two language options. Not so for me. I'm using H60 L04

I've done as described. I can switch now language but the dictionary is still English only.
When I hold comma key and select Gboard settings and try to get into menu item "settings" then it crashes again. The same when I try to access "advanced settings".
So Gboard is still failing.

I use standard ROM, no custom ROM.
Updated via OTA
Android 6
Build H60-L04C432B860
So why should the standard ROM not have built in the languages?

That u cant say. Couldn't find a way to add languages too. You should stick to other keyboards then. Try Xperia keyboard. It's nice

The latest version that I see on the play store has been published on 10 Jan and it has the problem described at the beginning.
I found a newer version (not sure about the origin, it has a different icon) on apkmirror but it has problems with the resolution and in any case the dictionary problem is still there.
Did you find a working version?
