thanks..does it has the number pad style too?
is it easy to install or uninstall?
can i replace the original with this?
thanks...

my recommendation is Cooltek's TouchPal, without breaking the function of your physical keyboard (e.g. ascent key, word completion, name predictive)

Swedish keyboard with åäö

Hi,
I am new to the forum but a real cellphone geek
I have searched a lot for a swedish keyboard for my HD2 (that has the letters åäö as original buttons and not sub commands on a and o)
Does anyone know if there are any third party keyboards?
I would also like to know if anyone has tried Opera 10 beta on HD2. I tried it but to me it appeard slower than 9.7...
Appreciate any help to get this excellent phone even better!

tap and hold A for Å and Ä. Tap and hold O for Ö
to install swedish dictinary and T9 install my cab from this thread.
then swedish is working perfect.

If you haven't calibrated your screen, you may try to do so.
There are some tips for learning how to type on this forum. Read it, it may help also.
Try to reduce the sensitivity of the screen, there is a twik how to do it, here on XDA among other tips. (Tips to Improve Typing Accuracy on Keyboard)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638

I have also switched from hd only.
For some, it takes some time to get used to it.
Have patience. Just remember to touch as gently as u can.
Also, try the sensitivity tweaks.

What is the ROM you're using? If you're using 1.43 ROM, applying sensitivity cab would help.
At first I had some problem with the HTC keyboard but now I can type quite easily.
You should try Swype, it's a very good keyboard except it lacks direction keys on the main keyboard. Another interesting keyboard is Fingerkeyboard, you can seach this forum.

I used Energy ROM WM6.5 on my Blackstone in conjunction with Fingerkeyboard and loved it.
Moving to the Leo, I struggled with the standard HTC Keyboard but installed Fingerkeyboard and finding it almost as good as the Blackstone. Having used it for less than 24 hours, I am not yet used to the Leo screen but I do not feel that far behind where I was on the Blackstone already.
Methinks the best phone around (Blackstone) just got a whole lot better (Leo)

i am using stock 1.48
sometimes, the alpha jumps between the 2 letters... this is making me crazy

I hope this ins't redundant or something you're aware of, but the button you release, rather than touch first, is typed. In the day or so I've had mine I've concentrated on tapping quick, light and as straight up and down as possible.

HD to Leo
I struggled with the keyboard too coming from HD to Leo.
I am using cliquick which does the job, minus direction keys.

problem with typing

The hd2 is a real nice phone but im having this problem. When i try to type a sms it takes me a lot more time then normal. I think this is because of the touchescreen which works capacitive.
But my friend recently bought the htc legend which has the same touch input and i can type very fast and accurate.
Im also having trouble if im surfing the internet and like most forums there are multiple pages on bottom right as 1 2 3 4 5 6 .. but those numbers are so small i cant click the correct one. If i want to go to 2 im either pressing 1 or 3 or4 and maybe if im lucky i get 2.
Is there anything to solve this?

The sms and keyboard issue is a well known problem on the HD2. It simply sucks, especially if you've got many messages on your phone.
Regarding the web browsing, you'll have to use the "pinch-to-zoom" (like on the iPhone) to zoom in even more so that you can hit the buttons. Remember, most webpages aren't made for tiny screens like on the HD2. They're made for like 17" or more.

I lol'd when reading that XD
well, mostly i can type very fast with my hd2. but im not using the standard keyboard, cause that one really just suck, cant write with it.. im using fingerkeyboard 2.1
and yea, i got the same problem in the forums with switching the thread pages.. im using opera mobile 10 + zooomer to pinchzoom and click on the next page, so its no prob for me. if u are still using opera mobile 9.7 u can even use pinch zooming without zooomer

Ah so fingekeyboard good?? I tried swype which works great but doesnt have dutch
I have opera 10 ye and i cant use pinch zoom, or do i need zoomer for this to work?

fingerkeyboard 2.1 is normal typing, not swyping.. i dont like that swyping thingie^.^
yea, if u use opera 10 and want pinchzooming u need Zooomer for that.. search it in the forum, im sure u will find it
just scan the entire device with zooomer and activate multitouch in opera10

I tried fingerkeyboard 2.1 just now and typed a sms without making 1 single typing mistake! I did some mistyping but with the t9 it was corrected perfectyly very happy with it
Im going to try zoomer now haha

i like to hear that in the settings of the keyboard u can even define ur own shortcuts and smilies.. even how long u need to press.. thats the mainpoint why im using it^.^ can write extremely fast with it

Keyboard is not good. Missing letters some time.

I got my X10 2 days ago. Previously i was using iPhone. Everybody know iPhone user interface is simply awesome. I like X10 as well. the issue currently i am facing is that when i type my messages some times i missed the letter and i have to press the letter again. specially letter 'a'. I am using android keyboard. Is this issue is because of keyboard or it's software issue. i know touch is perfect because i can see zoom in image of the letter. I also tried to disable sound, vibrate, dictionary etc. but no luck so far.
though in landscape it works fine.
Can anybody guide me how can i solve this issue?
Thanks,

I had the same problem with both the Android and standard keyboards.
The only way I fixed it was to install the HTC Keyboard. Works fantastic and it has a calibration tool so you can make it even more accurate than it already is.
Search for HTC X10 keyboard on google, I think there is a tutorial on esato or se-nse.

I'm afraid that this has become old news when it comes to the x10.
At the moment I can only suggest a workaround or two.
I have installed the HTC keyboard which I find very accurate. It can also be customized to allow the volume controls to control the cursor whilst typing.
Personally I find this to be the best solution.
Better keyboard is a paid app that can be downloaded from the market and offers another good solution.
I have heard in posts that swipe keyboard is another good alternative.
Finally I have heard that upgrading to the latest firmware available may help things. I debranded and upgraded to 1.6 but I still used the HTC as its familiar.

Another option is the Smart Keyboard Pro

yo try the app called shape writer. Its simply amazing, u will love it

HTC keyboard.. easy & free
Smart Keyborad PRO & Swype are also good options

actually the true problem to this is the sluggishness of the touchscreen which you'll experience in most other applications as well. the only solution is to type slower since no matter which keyboard you try you will always experience some random unset delay after each key before it actually registers on the screen. that by itself will hinder your ability to type fast and will introduce additional typos.

If you use SlideIT keyboard then you won't have any problems with sluggishness. ( which I've not experienced anyway). Its not as attractive add swype, but I find it much more accurate.

using SlideIT keyboard.

You can have landscape size buttons in portrait with 'Big Buttons' keyboard from the market, it takes a chunk of screen but your typing will be perfect

Thanks a lot, i just trid "big buttons", love it, the best one for people like me who are not very handy with their fingers

make sure you correctly enable the htc_ime mod keyboard from the list of keyboards in the input method options.
to bring up the input method option, when your vr keyboard is visible, long press any area where you input text and select htc ime mod.
If the htc keyboard is not available from that list, go to settings, locale and text and tick htc keyboard.

It does not matter if you type slow. it's some other issue i can't figure out the reason maybe SE know it well. you can saw a issue which can't be replicated

I guess the problems of typing are related also to the protective screen

i don't think so. because other keyboards are working fine. the problem is with the firmware

I'm using shapewriter keyboard (free on the android market) ... perfect alternative to the swype keyboard & similar as well for those who arent able to get their hands on swype due to its limited beta release

Try ThickButton - it's pretty awesome - predicts what you want to type, and expands the size of appropriate keys, making the others smaller... You can also select how much they'll expand by (esp if you have really fat fingers, or type with your toes.)
