Swype on Virtuous - Strangeness

When you double tap a word in Swype, a word choice window pops up. On Virtuous, another edit box pops up and covers my word choice box. Anyone have any idea how to disable that other edit box?

Try rotating the phone to landscape. The contents will shift and the Sense edit box might clear the Swype edit box. Just a thought.

Rotating the phone to landscape for every word edit would get tedious. Serious carpal tunnel. I guess I'll just need to uninstall Swype and live with the Sense kb.
Thanks for the replies, guys!!

Keyboard change

Hi, can you change this keyboard

}
to this?

If you long press in the writing area, you'll get the option to change input method and there you'll be able to shift between keyboards. For example, if you have installed Swype, it'll be shown there.

I'm just have this option

That's because you don't have any other keyboard installed on your phone.
There are numerous keyboards available on the market. Personally, I prefer Swype 3.0 beta. You can find it here <beta.swype.com/>
Other keyboards you could try out are SwiftKey, SlideIT, TouchPal etc. Just have a look at the android market.

You can do it SE keyboard.
It will automatically change to tat one when you typing in numbers field(Phone no.)
Try some other keyboard like BetterKeyboard.

If it just appear on the number field, then the alphabet on the number is useless, right?

Yeah,tat is useless.

Are you looking for something in particular or just a method to change keyboards?

no, I'm not ask about method to change keyboard, but I want to change the keyboard into dial number like my first post

Well, you can do that with Swype. (I am talking with reference to Swype as that's my preferred keyboard).
To display the numeric keypad, press the Swype key + 5.
​
And you should get this.

If this was useful, use the Thanks button.
BTW, CNET has a helpful article on 7 Swype keyboard tips for better Swyping. Do check it out if you end up getting Swype.
Cheers!​

Well, uhh, the dial number doesn't got alphabet like my first post huh? =p thanks anyway

I can't vouch for it as I've never tried it but the (EvenBetter)NumberPad Keyboard seems to have what you seem to be looking for.

Also you can try Better Keyboard.

Shapewriter for Galaxy S3

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3. I loaded on my favorite keyboard, Shapewriter, and was disappointed to see that it didn't fill the screen like it did on my other phones. Is there anyway to make it take up the whole bottom of the screen like all the other keyboards? Thanks for any help.

send a note to the developer... they might not be aware and just need to edit it for the larger screen...

It's no longer supported. I have a backup of the APK that I use to install it with. It's not even on the Play anymore as far as I know.

That's clearly not supported on 720p screen, never heard of the keyboard but if you find people that likes it a developer might be able to help

If I recall, Shapewriter was bought by Nuance and incorporated into the FlexT9 keyboard and now those features are incorporated into the latest Swype beta...
So maybe try that?

I downloaded the Swype Beta. It's going to take some getting used to, but overall I think it's better than the default Samsung keyboard.

I prefer shape writer over all the rest I've tested. The automatic addition of a space after a period (.),saves hitting the space bar more often than deleting the space. The ability to retroactively capitalizewith one key does not require retype. The selection of typed words with one touch,allows the original selection list to be recalled.
I can't believe they did this all two years ago. Nuance now owns shapewriter.

Frustrated trying to enable Shift and Ctrl keys in bluetooth keyboard

I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard to type faster. Initially it wouldn't detect some keys like Shift or Ctrl, so I had no way to capitalize letters. At some point, after installing the Google keyboard (gboard), these keys worked. I could press simultaenously the "Shift + a" and then I got an "A". Yes, pretty basice. The thing is that after a day, it went back to not detecting these keys anymore. That means that I can't choose the special characters above the numbers (like brackets, @, etc).
I tried to root and use a "Bluetooth keyboard fix" app from the market. Unfortunately, nothing works.
I'm lost and I desperately need a solution. I tried to connect the keyboard to my phone (Huawei P9 Lite) and I get the same result: no Shift, no Ctrl.
Anyone knows how to solve it? Thanks!

Sounds to me like the might be a hardware defect? Which ROM are you on? I've had trouble with Bluetooth keyboards sometimes, but usually not something as basic as the shift key. Occasionally stuff may go wrong with the keyboard switching to a wrong mode, but that would normally affect the letter buttons for me, not shift.
Generally on any android version from lollipop upwards I haven't had to use an external keyboard app for anything on my various Bluetooth keyboards.

I'm in stock ROM, the latest that Samsung put at our disposal: 5.1.1.
Sounds like a software glitch but can't make sure!

Given you describe that the same issue occurs on another device, I'm afraid it sounds to me like a problem with the keyboard. Switching off these buttons would seem like a strange software feature -though I can't say for sure, of course.

Thanks, I have written to the seller.

I had nothing to lose, so I've decided to open the keyboard. It had several clips around the plastic "grid". There is a flat cable connector; I reassured it and... bang! I'm posting the picture to help others (though I think I was the only one with this weird problem).

Split screen the multitasking button is dead??

I think I have identified a bug. Once I am in split screen the multitasking button seems to not work at all. Anyone else can confirm this? Can go home and bring up next app...but multitask just doesn't respond to a press.

I think that's because you are in split screen that's the nature of it

No... normally it will let you multitask to next app in the active one. Also, seems it works in gesture mode.

Here is what it looks like working in gesture mode. The button only works to disable split screen with a long press while using the nav buttons.

Works in gesture mode, but gesture mode has various issues. It's not compatible with like Nova launcher and also isn't compatible with the YouTube, Maps, and other pop up windows. Basically multitask buttons seem to be properly compatible with standard Android 9 stuff and gestures aren't always...but seems maybe the split screen is still some EMUI rather than Android version or something? Basically though some bugs here that I didn't have on Mate 9 with EMUI 8.

Ok... original issue is related to some silly nonstandard multitasking when in split window and need for the stock launcher to be default. Multitasking doesn't bring up active apps, but an app list ran by stock launcher...dumb. home doesn't disable split screen either so does almost same thing as multitasking button. Why was this all setup correct on EMUI 8 and now all jacked up on 9 with the gesture nonsense option.
Please fix this Huawei!
