It has a long way to go but i think it has some sort of learning capabilities cause it sucked much more when i started using it.
In actually even liking it even the stupid Twitter like words that pop up

Working great on my Sprint S3. Thanks!

Love and hate it... no long press to get numbers or symbols. I hate having to press the symbols button to get to those.

Better than swipe IMO. I don't know what a few posts above is talking about. Long press for numbers and punctuation definitely works

So is there a trick to bring up special functions on this keyboard?
I like the keyboard, but I miss the numeric keypad, the edit keypad, and the copy and paste ability of the swype keyboard.

I feel like Swype was more accurate at times. But I do like the layout of the Android keyboard better then Swype. I am just waiting for Swiftkey Flow lol. But only thing I hated on the Android keyboard was that it was too long of a delay when holding a button down to get like a "?" for example. Or just longer then I am used to.

Noticed there is no button for smileys either. I use those heavily. Its nice having them on the fly with the button

I think it's just a keyboard like Swype .i mean this is not so attractive but, also thanks for offer this.

A different keyboard?

I just purchased my SII and while I love everything about it I'm not liking the keyboard to much. I've come from the Moment with slide keyboard so it was no problem when replying to messages and being able to read what I was replying to. With the SII when I replay in landscape the keyboard fills most the screen and the text box takes care of the rest. I would have thought you could slide the text box down to read the message but it's not doing that. Any suggestions or different keyboards to try that would allow me to see the message I'm replying to while typing?

You can try BetterKeyboard from off the Amazon Market. It was initially up on the normal android market. It costs like three bucks but its well worth it. Its very very feature rich and its the only one that, off the top of my head, has the ability to not show a text box in landscape and just show a keyboard for input. It warns against only working on large screens like tablets, but I've rarely ever had it cause issues for me on this phone.

I would like to see the text box but also have the ability to slide the box down to quickly read the message then finish typing my reply. Maybe it's a different sms app I need? I'm also not a big fan of the little comic book chat boxes. I'd like to see the message fill the entire screen left to right when in landscape.

Oh I'm sorry man, I thought were asking for something entirely different. H'm... hold on moment.
**Edit**
I'm still not entirely sure if this is what you're looking for for.. but as for messages not coming up full screen so to speak and being stuck inside little bubbles, you can use Handcent SMS (my preference) though GOSMS or ChompSMS might do the same thing. I can completely customize my interface so that it looks however I want it. Down to the font and font color of each individual thread, the bubble style of each individual thread, the background image for each thread, etc etc etc. Its neat. Two screenies for you. One with bubbles in landscape. One without.

Is there any way to customize the keyboard? As in make a wider space bar? I keep hitting the . button instead of the space button
Here are the screenies.

I use thumb keyboard
I have started using Perfect Keyboard as I love how it does the macro text replacement kind of like the blackberry's and windows mobile keyboards used to. I can just type br and it will expand it to whatever I want (currently my email address) . I also like the split screen in landscape mode that give you a number pad between the split.
The developer is a member here at XDA.
I do like swyping, does anyone know if the newer versions have customized text replacement or macros? The version of swype that came pre-installed doesn't.

Sym button issues

I've looked around, but I didn't see anyone else with this "issue."
I'm on AOKP Milestone 5.2 running Nyan Colonel 4.2. I don't know what or when it happened, but the sym button (function set .com) on the hardware keyboard doesn't work as needed. Pressing sym acts as a select type thing where it continually highlights the next selection area (Button or text). And the smiley button doesn't work either, now that I think of it. Everything else seems to work though.

Wow. I'd say I'm disappointed at this dysfunctionality, but it just goes to show how little I use my physical keyboard. Like, never.

Well that sucks. I use that button a lot, mainly for the .com function. Especially when trying out a new rom and logging back into everything. Guess I'll have to type it out from now on. Thanks for the info!

New Swype beta

There was a Swype beta posted tonight. Has anyone else used it? What do you think of it? Beta or stable?
I am using it now and I like it allot it's a big step forward for Swype. And I'll stick to the beta.
What other keyboard do you use?
pics go in this order: stable, beta, keyboard selection
EDIT: there are something that people arent liking or dont fully understand how to do it..... the two im mainly talking about are "adding a word to the user dictionary" and the new "backspacing"
user dictionary: after typing the word ( it will be in a grey box) tap the word till it turns orange (the word in the box (mainly the letters)) then then long press the orange word
backspacing: right after you swype a word it will have a white line under it, when and only when (the white line is there) if you hit the backspace button then it erases the word. any other time it is like the stable. WARINING: when you hold the backspace button down it goes ALOT faster then in the stable. it is something you just have to get used to, and it can be learned.... i understand it now and like it better then in the stable.
if there is anything else you think i should add or would like me to explain then please PM me and i'll get on it

i like the beta
...
Been using the beta most of today and it's great. It's been awhile since I used it, preferring slide it, but it now acts more like that keyboard and seems to have a stronger prediction system. I does much better with spacing.
Thanks for the info! Looks really nice. Are there themes for it as well?

Djdarkknight was having problems getting it to work after he themed it.
I had just been using the stock one in the latest FF## builds. Thanks for the post about the beta. I went out and grabbed it. I think it's pretty sweet. I agree with the other opinions that prediction seems much better!
In addition to my previous post the Dragon voice input is amazing on the new Swype. I have a southern drawl and I would estimate it's getting somewhere in the range of 95 to 98% correct every time. This post was recorded with the voice input 100% and I only had to correct one word and that was Swype and that was only because it was trying to spell it as swipe.
I wish Swype was a better keyboard. It's awesome when Swyping but when strait typing, SwiftKey is king.
This signature is used to denote the fact that I am using a mobile phone to post.
wow I'm loving the beta, very very accurate.
I'm using the new beta right now, ours working really well. Dragon dictation doesn't seem to like me though.

Best Keyboards for S3?

I'm not really feeling the stock Samsung keyboard and I've been searching for a successful port of the HTC/Sense keyboard for the S3 with no luck.
It seems as if I'll have to find a comparable or better replacement. Any suggestions?
(BTW, my phone is rooted so there are no issues with flashing anything.)
Try SwiftKey 3! That's epic keyboard with best word reach speed.
It's radicolous in GPlay and probably best keyboard with international support.

Another +1 for SwiftKey3. I switched over to it about six months ago and haven't even thought about looking for another one.
Tried a bunch, keep coming back to swiftkey
I downloaded original stock ICS keyboard works the best no problems
There's something wrong with swiftkey 3 for me.
I could start typing a sentence and it would end up looking like this : The quick brown fox jumped over the fefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefe.
And once I'm in that lock, pressing backspace will just add more. Doesn't happen often but it's annoying.

Disable Capacitive Keys on FK23

Does anyone know of how to disable the capacitive keys on fk23?
I just recently started getting the menu flutter hardware bug of doom and I just can't take it anymore.

Why waste the space? It'd be like the gnex right?
Because its worth losing a little space and not having the menu constantly fluttering. If you change the dpi there is not much screen loss from the stock experience. Yeah, looks like the gnex.
