HTC One X - Swype too small

I like Swype as Keyboard.
But the size on the Phone is too small in both modes.
Anyone a modded apk with bigger size?

It's fine on mine...?

also if swype is too small what about touchpal. Very usable, used it when I installed a custom rom and didn't know where to get swype installer.

Maybe ask this on the Note forum, not the One X forum....??

OK, i have the same problem.... Any updates? ive tried disabling/enabling.. etc

Same goes to me, have to switch back stock keyboard then select swype again to get back the keyboard back to resolution.
I also encounter the live wallpaper phase beam does not work at all, as well as HTC account unable to sign up.
WASSUP WITH THIS NEW PHONE?!

Have you guys tried the stock keyboard in swype mode?
This seems to be an app issue not a phone issue.
Is "live wallpaper phase beam" a stock live wallpaper? Again it could be an issue that the wallpaper doesn't support the screen resolution.
As for the "HTC account unable to sign up" this was a little stupid by HTC but they are renewing the htcsense.com website and at the moment new signups are closed. This will hopefully be launched in the near future.

ok managed to get the solutions -
option one - rotate the screen into landscape/portrait and then revert back - its sort of working.
option 2 - download another modded apk and use instead of the swype beta installer version...ive got the apk and can upload somewhere,but by xda rules are we allowed to post swype apk's?

Thanks for the info mate.

Hey guys, I got swype installed on my OneX and was using it for a couple of days. Don't remember what I did but my swype got scaled down to about the bottom 1/5th of the screen which I like, since I can see way much more than the current 1/2 screen.
I encountered the lazy drag ring to unlock bug and had to reset my OneX and then I encountered the same problem as rahularora1 where the swype keyboard got scaled down to the bottom left. I changed input method to HTC touch and back to swype to solve the problem but I wanna get the 1/5 sized keyboard back! anyone knows how to do that?
update:
I managed to somehow activate the small swype again (once again, totally unaware of what I did) did a screencap of how it looks like.

I noticed this problem and get around it by rotating the screen to landscape then back again. It stays correct from then on. (until you kill the process)
Swype author needs to fix

Think there might be a bigger problem with Swype - I think it's the culprit for killing auto-rotate function.
Happened to me twice and had to reset. Didn't reinstall 3rd time and no more problems so far

This is a very, very annoying problem for me.
Since I write in swiss german, which is a completely own language, I was relying on the app "Sms to swype" to import my sms into the dictionary of swype, because teaching it all the thousands of words in swiss german would be a giant PITA.
Problem 1)
Stock Swype (which came built-in with the H1X) won't let me download the german package, which I need for the german forums
Problem 2) Swype Beta (after deinstalling stock) is scaled much too small
I hope Problem 2) gets solved fast, as I can't return to Stock Swype without having to reflash the ARHD, because I somehow messed up the backup with Titanium

Hello guys , I have solution for u for the swype being small.
Download and install swype for Galaxy Note from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538901
First time it will appear unscaled, do the "rotation trick" and than it will be awesome and with proper size ))
I did it, it works perfectly for me. (I use Cyanogenmod9 port for HOX)
Cheers

I do the rotate trick and it fixes the problem for me, although the keys size has shrunk quite a bit. I prefer the smaller looking keyboard though, as I can see more of the screen above it then.

SwiftKey 3 beta

Any thoughts? It's really weird to me (gives weird predictions, splitting words in half)
I'll just chalk it up to it being in beta.
It's really good looking though.

after 2 days of testing, i love it. it still in beta, cant expect much from it. also, smart spacing is amazing and larger spacebar too.

Yeah the smart spacing is pretty cool. Don't know why they even have a space bar lol. Easiest way to type ever lol.

To me it's either Swype or Swiftkey 3, I'll give Swiftkey 3 a try when I can.

I gave up on swype after finding it hard to adopt to one hand swyping, loving swiftkey beta 3

Where can I find the beta? Wasn't on the play store

I tried the beta, and while I loved it, giving me nostalgia back to my days of my old droid 2, its just too buggy(rom and keyboard) for me. And the vibrations just feel weird to me.

For those of you who want to get the beta, look up SwiftKey vip on Google and sign up on their website's forums and install the beta directly on your phone after you get the confirmation email.
I'm loving it a lot of my only vendetta against SwiftKey X was that the space bar was too small. Although if I had the opportunity I'd replace the voice recognition button with a comma.

You can adjust the vibrations to act like stock keyboard by just adjusting the Haptic duration in the settings (set to around 5ms)

I'm really enjoying it, but I do have a few gripes about it.
-It's super slow in Chrome's address bar. Then again, so is the stock keyboard.
-I don't like the method for inputting "! ? , ." symbols. I miss having the , to the left of the keyboard.
-I wish I could disable the Settings key in the left corner.
-I don't like the numbers/special characters keyboards.
But it's fast, it's super accurate, and I don't mind the Holo theme. Actually even Cobalt is kind of nice, but Holo is nicer.
By the way, for those who want to tweak the haptic feedback duration, I've always used 12ms on the stock keyboard (and this one) and found to be a lot nicer than the "tickle" you get at 5ms.

Since ics I hate any other keyboards.
Swift key lacks one main feature which is dictation that I use on most occasions. Secondly the keyboard is very slow and inaccurate.. It just doesn't feel as Smooth as stock keyboard.
Dictation is the main reason I'm not using this keyboard

One thing it needs is to use Google talk to text as it still uses the older one as you can't speak while it types it in, you have to speak then it will input.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Needs a couple changes and the ability to customize some of the key button locations.
Otherwise, it's the best keyboard I've ever used on any phone. Period.

What is smart spacing? I agree about the larger spacebar though, makes such a big difference (no pun intended).

Ditto to the smart spacing. The punctuation is the best. There's isn't an option to change hold times on keys which bugs me because 500ms is too long.

Yes, I really miss this from the Swiftkey X. I mean, REALLY miss this! Besides that, it is a great keyboard, I've been using it for the past 2 days...
I just wish we could be able to swap the special characters key with the options key... and the options key with a comma key.

smart spacing works but it gets confused when you go back to edit a word. I hope they fix it for the final release.

Snap on keyboard

I am hoping to find a snap on BT keyboard to work with the Siii. I am a big email user and still struggling with the touch keyboard. My wife has one for her iPhone asnd I was wondering if anyone knew of one for the Galaxy. I would need it all the time but business trips with tons of emails wild be a lot easier with a keyboard

I highly recommend the swype keyboard built into the default Samsung keyboard. It takes like 1 min to learn. Trust me I used to BBM all day long and this is by far the easiest and fastest touch input method I've ever used, I can easily type 3-4 times faster than I used to even with physical kb. You can enable it in the input options under the Samsung keyboard it's called 'continuous input'.

I too would recommend a different keyboard than stock, but in my case, SwiftKey is better as I like to multi touch type, and swype is pretty unforgiving if you tap more than one spot at a time.
Since purchasing the gs iii, according to the stats, it has fixed over 2.5k of my typos!
I am a very heavy email user (corporate exchange and 3 of my own accounts as well).

Swype is cool.
Swiftkey is cool.
the default samsung keyboard and trace = stinks... terrible... horrible...
If you like to "peck" then you'll like Swiftkey more.... if you want to retrain yourself to swype -- Swype is awesome. I've got both installed, and I can easily type faster with EITHER compared to the default keyboard. I really like swype, but I find it more natural to PECK at the keyboard so right now I'm using Swiftkey

Another Swype user here, I've tried em all and they don't compare.....I can nearly Swype every message without looking at the screen.

I absolutely love Swype, but I have to say that something is super buggy in this latest version (or at least for the S3). Every time I type something wrong, or it gets the prediction wrong, if I try to tap the backspace to delete one letter at a time it jumps all over the place and starts deleting random parts of my sentence instead of sticking to the word I'm on.
Then, even if I try going back to the word I was originally trying to delete, it will STILL force me to delete all the other parts of my sentence before allowing me to properly delete the original word.

I'm with the OP.
I'd rather have a snap-on physical bluetooth keyboard. a nice big one just as big as the S III itself.
There are BT keyboards out there but they're small like the iPhone.
I've tried Swift and Swype. I couldn't get used to swype but I do LOOOOOVE SwiftKey. The Longpress numbers is awesome. I felt great paying for it. One of the few apps I've bought with such ease. Google should buy SwiftKey. Everyone here is right- the stock Samsung keyboard is crap. Especially the landscape one. At least try swiftkey first, though, since I don't think there are any keyboards or keyboard cases yet for S III although since it is so popular I imagine there might be one soon. But SwiftKey is a huge improvement on Samsung's keyboard.

Swype is not bad but not for me and a BT keyboard will definitely make a big difference. check out this decent Foldable BT Keyboard, Not much bigger than your palm and its foldable. with this portable & easy-to-use BT keyboard, you can Writes e-mail and notes easily.

I've used keyboards like this and for someone my size (6'4") they are harder to use than the slideit kb I use. I write all day long for classes and one just can't beat swiftkey. That being said the full size bt keyboards are amazing if you carry a backpack or something

Android Keyboard with numbers!

Noticed this article referenced at another forum. Item #6 shows you how to change the default Android keyboard into a "PC" keyboard with number keys and a lot more long-press symbols. Swiping works great on it... would have never found that feature!

Thank You!!!!!

Nice find there! Really Really neat

Works with English. If I try to use it with Finnish settings app crashes.

Tip #12 is a better way to improve the keyboard.

I've always wanted the long press top row for numbers back, but I primarily use my N7 in portrait so the letters are really small with this. Awesome to know that brings the full keyboard back, but I don't think I'll keep it.
Does anyone know if there's a way to use the stock keyboard (so the default QWERTY option) but to add long press numbers to the top row?

Nice.
Thank u.
I was using hackers keyboard before.but now I will use this,

You are referring to swift key tablet keyboard, this thread is about “ Android keyboard with numbers ”
This now has a full keyboard with numbers, no long presses and gestures.
I use thumb keyboard but this method kinda kicks that to touch for me

Got the PC thing working but agree its not useable in portrait.
As far as long press for numbers, thats what my default android keyboard is on 4.2.1 ROM. Its pretty good actually with swipe feature included but still not as good as Thumb.

I believe it is usable in portrait. The swiping is accurate enough to not have to hit keys right on... the keys are much larger than the Swype keys on my Optimus (3.2") screen, which works too (but not as well). I thought the same when I first changed it, but after using it a few days, I seems to swipe just as fast (and accurately).

Sounds like exactly what I came here looking for... but...
unfortunately, I have a new Verizon Note 2, which doesn't have an Android Keyboard. Just Samsung (which doesn't have autocorrect... WTF? and Swype.)
Thanks anyway. Just FYI, Note II users are out of luck.

What is your preferred keyboard?

First off, I searched before making this thread, but if there is anything wrong please move/delete this thread.
What is your preferred keyboard and why? Stock, swype, swift key, kii, touch pal, something else?
I like the google gesture keyboard but I feel that the predictions on swiftkey are much better. But the swiping on swift key is terrible for me, so my choice is stock.

predictions is the most important thing for me so swiftkey wins by far

if they add swype it would be a lot better

You just hold period and then swipe to whichever punctuation mark you need.. and the rest you get by holding the key its on..

Tried out a lot of keyboards but keep coming back to swype.

SwiftKey is by far the best keyboard I've tried on android. One feature I miss however is text snippets (or what are they called again?)
By text snippets I mean automatic system that changes @@ to your email address or ha for home address etc.
