Is it? Ooops sorry, I had no idea. Was too excited to get this working I never even paid much attention to the actual site. *Slaps self*

So does it work just like it works on the nexus one, in any text fields?

"I'm so north of the volcanoes it on the wrong size 12 font size but they don't think this through house and grill the attach to solicit"
I don't think that was quite what I said!

What did you say though?

Woohoo, works perfectly, although a tad slow. Still fun though

Works for me too. Quite interesting all the other apps on that site. But as mentioned. Warez.

How about this one?

It looks nice and only $0.99 ... Anyone can give it a try?

noob question - first time android user - the only place i found the "Verizon 2.1 keyboard with voice input" file was under the sponsered links - do you have to pay the $1.99 monthly subscription to the download all site to be able to download it or am i missing something?
Thanks heaps

[Q] Play store language

Is there a way to change Play Store app language? Mine translates everything (app titles and descriptions) to my native language and it looks kinda bad. I'd like to keep it english.

I just did a quick test, and it seems to take whatever language the phone is set to and applies it to Play. So change your phone (Settings > Language & input > Language) language to English and it will change.

But is there a way to change the store only? Maybe modify the .apk somehow?

I'm sure someone could decompile the APK, but it updates on the fly, so I don't know how useful it could be.
I don't believe there is another way around it though. Sorry

I have similar problem here. Play store app is partially English and the rests Turkish. Account is set to English whereas my location is Turkey. Isn't there anything to fix this?

Can I just add to this? Who is that stupid OP?

I had the same issue.
Settings
Languages & Input
Language
English (United States)
It appears that if you have selected anything else (I had UK) then it doesn't work!

Didn't work
I tried changing the language to english (US) and it still only results in web pages, and does not speak replies.

This is what I did to get voice search results to talk back:
1. Open Google Now and go to settings
2. Go to "Privacy and Accounts"
3. Make sure "Search on google.com" is checked
4. Check if your audio volume is up!

ok i have been through both threads my voice is still not working for me. my search on google.com is checked, im not blocked by my wifi at home, i have gone to the settings and tried to Vol+ everything is up. i have made sure that my phone's settings is all checked off with English US. im using the Google speech, my speech output is always on speak. and i still dont get talk back

Possible fix

This might have already been fixed but I also had this problem with Google now's voice response not working. I somehow got it fixed by:
going into phone settings
select language & input
select text-to-speech output
select Pico TTS as preferred engine
When I got back into my google now app the speech was working.

Can also go to settings
Select accessibility
Select text to speech output
Select Pico TTS

Swype beta!!!

It has been brought to my attention that posting the apk itself is against site rules so I have removed the link. I have however left the official website link for anyone that wants the app just visit the site and download the apk. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Just go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register to test!

Is this for Beta 1.3?

Beta 1.3

Yes it is,

Thanks for the post.I had the beta installed a few weeks back but all of a sudden it stopped working a few days ago so now it's working again with the new beta

It's abit troublesome if you need to use numbers snd decimal points, you need to switch from alphabet to numeric in order to get it. I think they should add decimal point in the numerical pads too without switching to and fro.

It is against XDA rules to post Swype as a standalone apk.

Why????

It's a free apk at the moment while it's in BETA, if it is against the rule I will remove it but I thought been as it's a FREE BETA it would be no problem??? Am I wrong???

If you hold down the button that changes to numeric it brings up a different numeric pad with decimal point, enjoy!

Been using this for a while now and works flawlessly! Really liking the keyboard themes

Switching from languages need a long press.

Which really really sucks if you use two languages.
Anyway, Swype was never very supportive for people that used more than one language. Even the version where you press a single button to switch languages, sometimes it doesn't change at all, and when it does, it's always less snapier than any other keyboard I have tried.

Using stock prediction more worse than swype.

Did you know the shortcut to change language on swype?
Swipe your finger from the swype button to the spacebar. You don't need to longpress anything.
There are several more shortcuts, it's in the settings, you can look after.

Everybody makes mistakes.No hard feelings

Tried this one cause the Samsungs continues input doesn't work. Afrter a quick testing, this one is worth trying if you wanna use swiping for text input.

Yes! :good:
In case anyone is having trouble with the quick language switch gesture, you just have to make sure to select a second active language before you can toggle between languages.

anyone experiences an occasional hang time before swype comes out? may be just me....keeping fingers crossed for swiftkey flow

[Q] Google now No speech output , no sound

After finally getting the upgrade to JB through kies, Google now works very well except it doesn't have any speech responses like it should. When asking google now the time on my one x, it says the time out loud. The galaxy s3 only displays it.
I've tried
-increasing all of the volumes on the phone
-reboot
-going into google now settings, voice --> Speech output: always speak
-going into google now settings, voice--> Language: English US
But no luck...anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks
