this belongs in the general section

It's only been a couple of days, you have 14 to figure out if you can go without it.

I too will miss my keyboard. But what choice do we have now? I don't think they will ever make another flagship keyboard phone anywhere

I have been using my Epic on occasion when I have a long message to type

Same here, I have gotten much better and faster on the touchscreen keyboard.

Yup, no key skips. At first I thought I'd miss it, but I actually don't. The large screen is perfect for my 8 sausages, and 2 pork loins.

Thread moved to proper forum.

In a few weeks you won't even remember that keyboard, in a few months the thought of one will disgust you.

I hope this is true, going to keep my epic for games. My keyboard was used a great deal on emulators.

My one gripe about Android.

The keyboard. I typed on an iphone 4s and even on the tiny screen the keyboard blew away any keyboard i've tried on Android. SwiftKey sucks. Stock sucks. Samsung's sucks. Thumb keyboard sucks. And I prefer typing to swyping any day.
Why don't we have a good keyboard yet?

Learn to Swype and you'll come to love it. Can never go back to regular typing now that I'm good with it.

I used it for a while on my Evo. Still prefer typing.

I'm gonna have to agree with the op on this when.. My reply was typed with swype.. Lol Stock keyboard sucks.. Swype is bearable but the evo hands down has the best best custom keyboards ever..

Swipe and swift key can suck donkey blongs. Both are very terrible, and i don't get the myriad of groupies who suckle from their tits.
The best keyboard in my opinion is SmartKeyboard Pro. Also very skinnable too.

I have a feeling you might see a huge improvement in ICS. A couple years ago Google bought a company called blindtype, and its technology has yet to show up in android. I'm not saying it will in ICS, but they've been sitting on it for a while and now would be the perfect time.
YouTube blindtype, and you might just be blown away

Hm. Thats interesting.

Thumb keyboard doesn't suck, its one of the best if you know how to customize it. I like swiftkey but the keys are too small. I like smartkeyboard pro too. On my phone I keep going back and forth between smartkeyboard and thumb keyboard. I hate swype, and the stock keyboard. The better keyboard is pretty decent too

Best keyboard is still shapewriter. I was pissed that it was taken from the market, but I was able to get the last update before it was. Swype doesn't even come close to how good shapewriter is.

Can you post that APK?

Here you go! I've got it on both my phones. International version of the GS2, and my old moto cliq. Never had any problems with it.

I use peferct keyboard and it has a setting for iPhone keyboard and works great

I prefer Gingerbread Keyboard (known as Keyboard from Android 2.3 on the market)

I use flext9

Thanks for the keyboard dude.. loving it..

Swype is fantastic once you get the hang of it...and swiftkey sucks!??? That thing is fncking super-natural in it's ability to know what I'm going to type next and correct mis-taps. Did you let it read your facebook and emails and txts? I am constantly blown away by how freakin' awesome swiftkey is. I actually bought it, and I don't really buy apps...I have bought like 4 apps ever, and that was a no-brainer.

Has the OP tried Better Keyboard? Its the only thing I love. Even though I play around on swyoe some times which is pretty cool

BetterKeyboard 8 was great, Betterkeyboard Pro 9, is not.
They took away a lot of features, and a lot of options.

I like the Gingerbread keyboard myself

I'm.rocking better key board 8 and I couldn't be happier

Swype Availability???

Is it out yet for the nexus? Cause I need it badly, I keep thinking I have it lol

It took me a few days to stop trying to swype. I tried SlideIT, ended up liking the stock keyboard more.
To actually answer the question, apparently they have not updated it yet for GNex screen resolution.

Lol thanks. Yeah I keep catching myself "swyping" oh well I'll type like the common folk for a while haha jk

I used to be a swype fanatic... nothing seemed as fun or efficient. i installed and uninstalled SwiftKey about 3 times before just settling on it due to really appreciating its predictive text capabilities and accuracy. also the fact that it learns your style so well. so ya, try it out

The thread title is misleading as others including myself may think it's actually out when it's not.

screen resolution shouldn't be a problem, I'm using swype on my rezound. Maybe an ICS incompatibility???

It's incompatible because swype doesnt see the resolution because of the Softkeys on the bottom (Screen res. is reported a little less then 720p).
As to getting an update on it...Doubtful there will be any before early 2012.
As I understand it Swype got aquired by a different company (Nuance), so they are in the "thinking box" trying to decide which software should be implemented where...

good to know. Sometimes being on the cutting edge is a pain. Lots of games I have don't work on the Rezound or are sized wrong.

OMGi need swype. I'm using slide it and it is horrible compared to swype LOL

I have Swype working on my Galaxy Nexus but it has an annoying bug that causes the suggestion bar to occasionally appear and disappear which shifts the entire page up and down. Doesn't affect functionality but it's annoying as hell.

Swype please
I've been in the swype beta program for Android for about 2 years and still waiting for a bill to buy the product. Maybe through the acquisition by Nuance there could be an investment to make it a product (OEM licence or end-user) and then engage the developers to finish the excellent work started by the first team.
Start with ICS and pick up some of the tablet market too.

YGM!

So, two sets of buttons...
A backup set, eh?
Are you some kind of funny man?

Cm9 has em and I think the goodness 2.1 has em too but I doubt it cuz we have the buttons and not as much room as a nexus.....

Can be easily enabled via build.prop

What's the point really?! Waste of space!

After crunching the.numbers,I came to the conclusion that seven buttons are better than four.

Would be a waste of screen space for me. I'd rather just use the capacitive buttons.

Meh maybe have it as an option ?

We're already limited on screen resolution when compared to the phones that use them. I don't see any reason to waste more when we already have hardware buttons that do the job.

There's actually one really good use for them, and that is when a mouse is paired via Bluetooth. The use case? If you have it MHL to HDMI to your TV or monitor.

Technically, the on-screen buttons are also capacitive but SEEEEEEEEEEEMANTICS!!!
Also, a permabar app-launcher thingy like the above post might be convenient maybe. Sorta.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I'd like the option so I can try it for myself. It seems like it's a major part of the ICS experience based on CM9 on my nook color....I'd be curious about the phone implementation.
Sure, it takes up space on our limited resolution at 240 density, but, set it to 160 (like all reasonable people) and it's virtually identical. Hell, our screen has the same amount of sub-pixels as the Gnex...if the use of sub-pixels is clever enough (I have no idea) there is little difference between our screen and that of the gnex....simply put (I don't feel like getting all mathematical right now....I know it's not actually the same use of sub-pixels).....I've never seen a Gnex screen, but, my ET4G at 160 density is still sharp and awesome--though some of the smaller items are a tad jaggy....but I'll take that in exchange for the tons and tons of extra displayable information.
Yes, I want the on screen buttons...toggle-able.

sorry if i'm reviving a dead thread, did a search and came up with this. how would one enable them? i've had lag on my soft buttons for a while now on ics. i'd love to be able to throw them up and shut off the backlight. i'm all for trying my hand at a build.prop edit. its the next step in learning i suppose.

Capacitive touch buttons

So are three buttons here to stay or is there a chance phones in the future will go back to having four capacitive touch buttons ie Epic Touch, Evo, 3D, etc?

Well the shouldn't be any buttons at all. Google was pushing for all on screen. And I believe Google should make them customizable

I wish they would use the AOKP navigation bar options. You can basically do whatever you want with that.

I think the whole on-screen button thing is kind of unnecessary. All it does is take up screen space and makes the bottom bezel/margin of the phone look bigger than it needs to be.

Well, looking at it from a different perspective, that space would be taken up by buttons anyway.
Also, it can help ease engineering the design of phones as it doesn't require having to plan for fitting those components there.
And finally, it's one less piece of hardware that can fail on you.

Maybe because this is an open forum where people are encouraged to ask questions, give opinions and basically share their experiences. It isn't beyond the scope of possibility that a new phone has people looking even further down the road at the next new phone and wondering what it might be like.
I swear you're starting to remind me of those grumpy old men who are always yelling "hey you kids, get off my lawn!".

I would say if Google begins to push it enough there will be no buttons. But if they decide to have buttons again and apple shuts up or Samsung just doesn't care there will be 3 buttons again.
