How are people finding SwiftKey on the G3? I am seeing two persistent issues
1) G3 will periodically revert to Google Keyboard necessitating the re-selection of SwiftKey. This was happening a couple of times again till I froze the Google Keyboard.
2) There is a consistent lag when Swiftkey is getting loaded. You click on a text field and half a second later the keyboard comes up. I don't see this with the LG or Google keyboards.
Swiftkey is so much better than the alternatives I hope they fix this soon. Must have something to do with the screen res.
Haven't noticed any lag myself tbh.
Not had the switching keyboard thing either although I have in the past

Yeah i get that with SwiftKey loading slowly but not all the time
I read on twitter that the LG G3 keyboard will be having an update within the month. Among the improvements will be next word prediction and emoticon prediction. Perhaps, after this update, the G3 keyboard will be on par (or close to) the functionality of swiftkey

Don't think so. While others approach Swiftkey in terms of functionality and prediction algorithms in English, Swiftkey is nearly as amazing in other languages, including those of small countries with population less than Manhattan. How they do it I don't know, but it is a fact.

Look into the LG-Keybord settings for :bi-langual suggestion. Disable all languages that are availble, and check if Swiftkey is still lagging.

@lguK announced it (the official UK LG account) not sure if other LG accounts also announced it.
Are you running on ART? Have you tried restarting your phone or reinstalling swiftkey?
I use swiftkey and one of the best things about is is that I can change the long press time to about 200ms. It's way too long on stock keyboards and this makes getting to some symbols and limited number usage faster than having to switch from letters all the time.

I am on ART and I don't have either of the problems. I have Swiftkey lag on my wife's Moto G.
Swiftkey on Dalvik - lag
Swiftkey on ART - no lag
I'm back to Dalvik because I wanted Xposed
One thing I did that helped a bit is go to settings - Languages and the first option Language - I unchecked Spelling correction which seems to have helped quite a bit in the lag department.
I got lags since they launched the Swiftkey 5 version, even on ART/Dalvik in my Moto G.
It's toooo slow and there are lots of annoying lags.
I've been using Swiftkey since 2013, and I never had any problems like that.
They already said is working to solve this issues.
SwiftKey was lagging on my Moto G as well. In both Dalvik and ART. Too heavy it was I think, but I was using it anyway.

Yes I did reinstall, problem still there. The only fix I have seen is to freeze the LG keyboard which seems to be the culprit wanting to insert itself back

I never noticed this before on the HTC One X. Maybe because the phone as a whole was less responsive because this is par for the course. You are right, I have grown so used to SwiftKey that I just put up with these things and keep using it.
I keep accidentally hitting up or down instead of space and it's driving my writing insane. That sucks.
Im also inadvertently collapsing predictions possibly, or the phone is. Haven't figured that out yet.

Except that SwiftKey is not LG exclusive and has over 3 years of my writing history. It knows what I'm saying before I do. Nothing will replace it for a long time to come. Until voice dictation is perfected.

If you are using Swiftkey, disable bi-langual word-prediction in the setting from LG-keyboard. See screenshot. Its Dutch but you should find it..:cyclops:

Nope, such a setting does not exist. Under LG Keyboard/Settings I see two subsections: My Keyboard and Smart Input. The latter has an item "Additional settings" in it, but there is nothing even remotely related to "bilingual prediction" there.

I'm surprised the standard Galaxy Nexus / ICS doesn't have a new line / enter key.
Are there any keyboards that are very similar to the stock keyboard, but instead of a smiley key it has an enter button?
I really need to use new lines in SMS messages. :C
Thumb keyboard is what I use on my tablet because its similar to stocks method of word correction but is more customisable in its layouts. I use stock on my nexus though.

Well swiftkeyX learns from the way you type, so if you end up typing any different way, it'll try to "push" you in the direction it expects you to be typing. You get a more narrowly focused autocorrect that helps for your every day 100 character tweets and SMS, but hurts in your forum posts (or other long form typing).
I still always wonder why people still use "tap" keyboards when there are swipe versions
I've personally used Swype on my last 3 Android phones and i can't envision me using anything else. It's so simple, accurate and bloody quick.

This.
I have used swype on my past few Android devices and was always SURE that it was 10x faster than any 'tap' keyboard could ever be. Upon the discovery of Swiftkey X however, I was proven very wrong. Swiftkey is incredible fast and accurate. Yes it needs optimization for the GNex but still, it's faster than anything out there at the minute.

I wanted to say something to this effect earlier. I tried swiftkey before swype and they're like chalk and cheese to me. Swype seems so much better.
I use ICS themed swype from here: http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/
Swype is the best
I really dig SwiftkeyX. Predictions improved a lot when I linked it to my facebook and gmail accounts. Never could get the hang of swype but maybe I should give it another try.
I'd like to try swype for gnex. So where do you "download" it? Its not on the market place. I have slide it, which is garbage. Could someone put a link up for swype for the nexus?
Thanks guys.

hey there, this should be the latest...
but what you'll need to do is visit the swype beta page and sign up, you'll need your username and password and enter it when the app opens, this'll then download the GN version onto your phone then install the apk...

Hello everyone! I just got my One X on Monday and so far I'm pretty happy with it, despite some small hiccups due to the first version of the SW.
Today I have installed an alternative camera app from the Market (Lg Camera Pro) and I turned off in the options the sound of the shutter. Guess what? The HTC stock keyboard stopped playing its sounds eversince, and no matter what I do there is no way to have them back. I have also uninstalled the Lg Camera app, but to no avail.
My idea is that the app has somehow overwritten some system file and as a result the keyboard is now mute. But is it possible, considering the handset is not even rooted yet?
Any ideas are very welcome.. if I don't find any other solution I will have to go for a full reset.
I have a heap of iPhone mates that I wish could find this LG app you mention. They all sit there in the room, going tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick on their phones while txting...sounds like a bloody stenographer's convention!
Sorry, I have no answer to your problem, but I am glad people around you are enjoying the silence

How about your screen lock / unlock? Is the sound still on? If doesn't then try to install some sound manager apps (ex: Audio manager) and check the volume level for system.
Awesome tip OP! A way to remove annoying keyboard sounds, will apply it if I get this phone and trial it on other devices.

You can always disable the keyboard sound via the keyboard setting menu. Most of the HTC device come with keyboard sound turned off.
I normally use the keyboard on mute, but that has nothing to do with the fact that I should be able to turn the sound on if I wish to do so!
Anyway I had to do a factory reset from recovery to have it back. Thanks to all.
Best tip I can give you : go to vip.swiftkey.net, sign up for the beta and download free Swiftkey 3.0 beta!
The keyboard is amazing compared to any other keyboard and since it's beta it's also free ;-)!

It's an entirely different way of typing. Swype is faster because you don't have to remove your finger from the keyboard (at least not that often).
Swiftkey is faster because it predicts words insanely well, if you write "I'll be there in 5 min" for example it will suggest "be there in 5 min" after you write I'll.
It's a very intresting piece of software which learns what you type the most and how you type it.
Also the new beta even adds spaces between words if you have forgotten it (check video in the thread in VIP section of swiftkey for example).
I tried Swype, Swiftkey, SlideIT, stock keyboard, Sense 4.0 keyboard and I still love Swiftkey the most. At the start it isn't that great but when you use it a few days it becomes 10x better (because of the "learning" of the software).

I find this very annoying and would like to know if anyone got the same issues or even ideas to fix it?

You could be running a bunch of background **** that lags other apps. I have a pretty clean Nexus with next to nothing running in the background and I have no keyboard lag.

Yes, i have the same lag issues, so much for proyect butter, now the keyboard lags even more than on ics , i use whatsapp a lot and the lag is quite noticeable
The first thing I noticed about my GNex (coming from a Droid X) was how lag-free the Keyboard seemed.
I was super impressed.
The first thing I noticed on JellyBean was that my keyboard seemed a bit laggy despite all of the smoothness in every other UI element.
Maybe once source hits it'll have been improved.
Keep in mind...we're using a "preview" build currently.

As I said I am running Android 4.1 Jellybean, on ICS I just got these lags from time to time...
It's very annoying typing with such a keyboard, sometimes it doesn't respond to keypresses what means that it skips letters n' ****..
I haven't noticed a lag...
No lag as such on mine, but for some reason I find myself mistyping more frequent and hitting shift and delete rather then 'a' and 'l'. Probably just me though...

This is a little off topic, both does facebook messenger work as expected in jellybean? For me there are no messenger notifications since I installed jellybean. I have to manually check if there are new messages.
As per the keyboard lag, try a different keyboard. I use Swiftkey 3 and I'm very happy with it.
Try going to settings/ language and input settings/ Android keyboard settings/ advanced settings and uncheck next word prediction. I remember I lagged A LOT and it seemed I was hitting random keys. Idk if this is related but I restored all my apps and data and the lag was horrible even throughout the entire system so I did a full wipe and only restored apps with NO data. Haven't had a single issue since.

Using German keyboard, sorry. But why don't you try to save "don't" to your dictionary?
Yep, getting TONS of Whatsapp lag. While scrolling, even the keyboard.
Getting a lot of lag but as soon as i turned off vibration when keys are pressed in the input settings it stopped majority of it but now its sometimes mistyping
Same here, but mostly limited to Whatsapp + Swiftkey 3 combination and only in landscape mode.
Swiftkey 3 works perfectly with no lag at all in all applications included whatsapp when used in portrait mode.
The same with the standard android keyboard.
In landscape mode, I can write SMS and other stuff (Facebook messenger etc) with Swiftkey 3 with no lag (at least at my writing speed I am experiencing no delay).
When writing with WHATSAPP and Swiftkey it is a disaster... after a sentence i have to wait half a second for the last word to show up after having typed it!
Things seem a bit better with whatsapp + android keyboard in landscape but still a bit laggy.
It seems tome it is mostly a whatsapp problem after all.

Hi
Anyone know how to tell Swype Beta to use google voice instead of the fire "Dragon Dictate" as Jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way Ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when Im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...

Swype is not open source correct?
If not, could one develop an app that overlaps the voice button on Swype provides that launches Google Voice instead?

If one likes Swype but HATES the terrible predictive speech recognition of Dragon Go, yes it does matter.
That being said, I guess we can't do it, so thanks to the poster who brought Kii to our attention; it'll do, though it's not as fluid as Swype for keyboard swyping.
Temporary Solution
Sorry that I'm a little late getting in on this thread, but I have a temp solve.
(Disclaimer ... for anyone interested: I, too, use Swype, religiously, because it is way faster than any other gesturing keyboard in Android - I type a lot of text, using a Note 2, and Swype is constantly helping me break all my speed records. Dragon, however, is a pain, for one, because it is not as stable as Google Voice, often giving me grief when connectivity is sporadic; but also because the software is slightly more bloated than Google Voice, causing the annoying "fade in" graphical interface which drags down on its listening response time. This lag is noticeable when you are "Swyping" at 80 words a minute when transitioning to speaking texts suddenly takes 4 times as long as "Swyping.")
Sooooo...
A temporary solution (despite the extra key presses) is to...
1) Long press on the text window
2) Select "Full Editor" from the pop up menu
3) Tap the "Google Mic" icon
And that's pretty much it. It is, unfortunately, an annoying solution, but for me, it's working faster than Dragon on the average. Hope that helps someone, particularly JoeyDVDZ

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S3 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S3, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.
(I've posted a similar message in the S4 section. Since these are two of the most popular devices, I'd like to see if, and how well, it works on them before pursuing it further.)

This used to be a worry of mine, until Google was nice enough to release their own keyboard!!

Yes, it's built in to my Nexus 4, but it's not as good as Swype at getting the word I want. I've tried them all, and I always end up coming back to Swype. Google's voice typing is better than Dragon Dictate, though, so this is the best of both.
There is a way

hi
anyone know how to tell swype beta to use google voice instead of the fire "dragon dictate" as jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...
Thanks

there is way but you must be rooted and have xposed installer installed, there will be this app called googleofflinevoice. Download it and restart then just double click on the dragon go icon and google voice will appear. Have fun!
Ever since the update to One UI 2.1 where I think the Samsung Keyboard got updated, I've been having horrible typing experience. The word prediction and auto-correct are broken. Example, I am trying to type "Pork" and it auto-corrects to "Prom"
Yes!... For some reason I keep getting "ication" just added at total random. I've even cleared the keyboard and reset it. Not sure why

Can't stand the Samsung keyboard.. have trouble with it in two languages.. on Gboard, and all is well .
Same here. I switched to the Google Keyboard because I could not take it anymore.

They updated it to be able to write in multiple language without having to switch.
But i agree, i got some issue like suggesting a single word with the same but with a second word "br" after, which is none of any kind.
After some "practice" though, I got less strange things.
Mine was completely unusable and had to go to Gboard for now.
Sam sung keyboard errors are difficult to overcome

How is it better on Gboard? It states on Google playstore: "Multilingual typing – No more switching between languages manually. Gboard will auto-correct and suggest from any of your enabled languages."
I hate having suggestions from both languages at the same time, even though I switch between them. I wish there was a fix for it.

Well, it takes one click on the 'globe' to switch between languages, suggestions come for the current language only, and while not perfect, Google offers a far better and closer suggestions to what I try to type than Sammi keyboard does. I do admit I haven't got Sammi a chance to improve, I type tons in my phone and can't be a their tester, not when I pay $1,000 on a phone..
Yes, I have troubles too either with French or English. I came back to my old "Swype+Dragon" keyboard - unfortunatly no longer available for new users.
