I find this keyboard really bad. I am CONSTANTLY making mistakes using Swype gesture to enter words. Also it has an aggressive auto correct. I never had this problem with gesture keyboard Swype on Windows Phone. Microsoft hit the nail on the head and offers the best Swype keyboard input method. Not the case with Huawei. Argh! So frustrating to use.

Open Play Store, select other keyboard, install.
Problem solved.
Android ftw.
I do know I can install another keyboard. I wasn't asking for help. Just making an observation.

Yea when i got my NXT-L29 a few months ago i was stuck with swype for a while. It wasnt too bad not enough to replace at least. But since rooting and installing custom roms ive since never seen swype anywhere in other firmwares. Seems that Huawei even thought it sucked
Still using Swype here. Not the Huawei variant, simply the original one. It rules :good:
Devices that come bundled with Swype never perform better than the standalone app itself.

Which is better? Swype or Swift Key?

Install both.
Test both.
Uninstall the worst one.
Profit.
There is no "better" keyboard.
When I owned a Nexus, I used Swift Key and Swype.
When I moved to Find 7a, I used Swype, not stock, the purchased Swype app.
Now, I still use Swype, but not the Swype for Huawei.
I'm a long time Swype user since Nokia N8, so I've stayed committed to Swype.

What is a good keyboard for X10?
I am using shapewriter right now, it is pretty good, but i am not too used to that way of typing.
Any other good keyboard are ppl using?
HTC IME seems popular.. but I'm using SlideIT.. which I love.
HTC_IME is good. Swype is better!
I can't find swype on the market.
you have to download the .apk from their website. just google swype. also, swype isn't working. I really like the look of the keyboard, but it just doesn't want to work unless I type letter by letter. Shapewriter works fine though, hmm..
yeah I have both the hacked HTC keyboard and Swype, at first I used the HTC one all the time, but now Swype is the only way to go. It's SO fast and "intelligent," seriously everyone should install it and give it a go
anyone can give me a link for downloading HTC_IME, and how can I install it?
the tutorials....hehhehe

I'm typing on the swype keyboard right now.
Use the motorola droid apk. Works with the x10. That's what I'm using since you can no longer download it on the swype website.

Hi,
Where did you download yours? And what version are you using?
I went to their website but the beta testing is closed due to overwhelming responses.
I googled it and found a site hosting this file, so I downloaded it to test it.
My version is 1.25.16.5612 and I am sure this is not the latest beta version as mine seemed a bit buggy at times. But so far I am enjoying the swype!
i've tried many different keyboards and there isn't one that i fully fully like. currently i'm using swype, my favorite out of the few that i've tried (original android, HTC, and better keyboard)
Here is the thread that contains the APK for anyone interested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660192&page=2
@onuris21
My version is the same as yours. I too had a little problem with the keyboard crashing on me with a select few letter combinations. I was trying to teach it cuss words, and swype crashed when i tried to enter "pu**y". Had to turn off the "Word Prediction" option. I also disabled "Tip Indicator". Since the little tweek, it's been smooth sailing for me. I hope it helps you. Good luck.
Just downloaded swype and its fantastic. I'm amazed at the accuracy.

Hi guys, great forum with some great tips.
Just got my xperia play and love it to bits.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I find the keyboard very inaccurate and slow to respond.
When I compare it to my previous Iphone and HTC desire it seems poor.
Any suggestions for tweeking or any options for downloading another keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Chris
Swype
Takes a bit of getting used to swyping but you can also just use it normally to type and its much more accurate than the stock keyboard
im having the same issues , i tried gingerbread keyboard lite which was much more accurate but i was a constant running process in the backgroung using around 30mb , i wish there was a way to edit the stock xperia play keyboard i.e button size height and load a custom user dictionary, yes there are other keyboards like smart, better or swype but really sony should update / fix the stock one.
anyone know if once youve installed a 3rd party keyboard can you safely remove the stock one if rooted and not encounter any problems ?.......
SwiftKey is better to use then the stock keyboard. It just takes a bit of time to get use to.

How's the consensus on HTC_IME keyboard?

I personally hate the htc keyboard..I always used alternate keyboards when I had my HTC.
I use swiftkey, while a tad too busy for my taste, it works damn well once you set it up to your liking. The arrow keys make me not miss my trackpad, and the numberpad-style number page is awesome.
I started using one of the Iphone keyboards.
Find it much better though still not as good as my Iphone.
I just paid for number pad a t9 keyboard its fantastic

I just installed Swype and am using it for the first time. I am so impressed that I needed to make a post about it.
The thing is freaking amazing. Seriously good.
Anyone else using it at the mo?
Yep... It's installed out of the box on galaxy s series handsets, but I love it and can barely use a standard keypad anymore so I got the beta for my cm installation..

Used to use it on my Galaxy S but not a fan tbh, tried it on my play and still MUCH prefer Swiftkey X, Swiftkey X is easily the best Keyboard for Android
I don't see it in the market. I see SMS to swipe, Word Swide and Gem Swype.
is it any of these?
Nope, it's a program on public beta. It's preloaded in the Samsung Android phones. Here you can download it: http://swypeinc.com/ After downloading the installer you just have to follow the steps it tells you.
It's mighty awesome, enough that Sony is including a Swype-lookalike (T9) in the 2.3.4 update in October. You can find similar keyboards in the market like SlideIT keyboard.

I am now of the opinion that all swipe-like keyboards are vastly superior by default after using Swype. The difference is as large as texting on the old numeric keypads versus typing on a qwerty keyboard.
Absolutely no way could I go back to a bog standard qwerty touchscreen keypad with no swipe feature !

Tried beta 1, then switched to swype and stayed with swype.
no idea why but it sometimes lags and the words aren't really accurate either.. adding a new word to the user dictionary is a PITA..

I just want to know is there any keyboard which is better than Swype in matter of recognition and word deletion/correction?
ICS keyboard is the best one I've seen so far for android, as I'm a really fast typer coming from IOS (vest keyboard over all), I installed ICS keyboard from the play store and set the auto correct to aggressive so as I type every few words my eyes just look to the screen to see if the keyboard auto correct wrong any words then I correct it manually or just continue talking.
PS. ALWAYS READ WHAT YOU TYPE BEFORE HITTING THAT ENTER BUTTON, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DON'T, WE GOT SITES LIKE DAMNYOUAUTOCORRECT.COM.

Swiftkey 3 has the best word prediction and correction that I've seen.
But the current Swype beta is close to it.
Both will get better the longer you use them
I can enter in text faster using Swype beta than Swiftkey.
Even faster again if I use the S Pen.

Swift key is one of the best in terms of prediction. But sometimes I find it a bit laggy.
I'd liked Swift Key 3 but it does not support swyping input on keyboard guys.
I liked the way it recognizes and corrects words.
I used to love Ultra Keyboard...but it doesn't work properly now on ICS....gets force closes...
I prefer Swiftkey 3. My flatmate prefers swype.
Pretty much everyone I know uses either swiftkey or swype.
new swype beta also has word prediction.
I have found that the standard ICS keyboard is best primarily, in addition to it being very accurate, It allows for speech recognition where you do not have to speak all at once- you can take breaks between words without any problem, whereas swype does not. Be sure to enble personalized recognition in settings as it does not do this manually. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND I DONT EVEN HAVE A WEIRD ACCENT.

After so much suggestions towards "Swift Key 3", I am on it now.
I'll try to get used to it.
But I am now really fast with "Swype".
Don't know which to use for a long time yet.
Anybody else disgusted with the lack of options in the Samsung keyboard and messages apps? Off to the theme store, I guess!
Seriously, look at these background choices! Chat bubble selections seem to have completely vanished on the Note 8! Who was this app designed for?
Look at this keyboard crap! Am I missing something?

Android keyboards are an interesting handicap for me. I have an iPhone 6 for work and NEVER have a problem typing on it. Android, not so much. I'm not sure if it is the way auto-correct works or just something about the layout but I can't seem to type a word on my Note (or the LG V20 before that) without messing up at least one letter. I keep thinking about trying different keyboards but then I get lazy and just deal with it.
Maybe I will give it another go with the 8.
FWIW

Try mood messenger for messages, lots of things to customize, try swype keyboard lots of things to customize too. Since htc hd2 days i never typed, i just swyped on my keyboard, even my 13 year old used swype since i gave her my note 2 5 years ago, now on her note 5. Its just my wife is stubborn to learn how to swype. ?
