Guest Nos Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I keep getting repeat characters when typing and "i" appearing when using the delete key, has anyone tried an alternative keyboard on the Vega yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest debs626 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've not had the same problem as you and have tried a couple of other keyboards and think Smart Keyboard Pro to be really good on the Vega Mainly because its very custom-able - non full screen (in any orientation) once I adjusted the hight of the keys, I can type with pretty good speeds :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nos Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've installed smartkeyboard and checked it in the settings but it's still bringing up the default one for some reason, tried a reboot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard press (for 3 seconds) in your typing area and select input method = smart keyboard pro :P HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cwiiis Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I find SlideIt Keyboard works quite well, I imagine Swype does too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BiggerH Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Nice one. Couldn't get swype to work but this SlideIT is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 This is my first efffort with smart keyboard pro. Seems like a big improvement from the stock android me keyboard, quite impressed. Is it easy to change the functions and that? Wouldn't mind making the voice button comma as stsndard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morchuboo Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I keep getting repeat characters when typing and "i" appearing when using the delete key, has anyone tried an alternative keyboard on the Vega yet? I had the same problem until I updated. Have you applied the updates? If you have then maybe it just needed to "bed in"?? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SilentMobius Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I had the same problem until I updated. Have you applied the updates? If you have then maybe it just needed to "bed in"?? :P I'm running 1.4+r2 and I still get "sticky" keys even on the "swiftkeys" keyboard. But I've confirmed that its the capacitive screen and/or drivers that are to blame as I can replicate a "stuck" point on the multitouch test app Edit: AHA! I think I've worked it out. It's CPU load! The higher the cpu load the more likely the touchscreen is to skip incomming touch events, the most obvious of those would the the "finger-up" event that results in a "long-press" when we only tap. this shouldn't be the case at all. I'll see if I can get a video together to show the @AdventVega twitter guy Edited November 27, 2010 by SilentMobius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Smart Keyboard or Ultra Keyboard! SilentMobius - are you on the performance pack? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SilentMobius Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) Smart Keyboard or Ultra Keyboard! SilentMobius - are you on the performance pack? P Yeah I am, but the auto-search-as-you-type in the browser URL field seems to be enough to cause keys to stick, especially when I'm deleting. I'll try those two though. Edit. Yeah I really like Smart Keyboard Pro. But keys still stick. I'm pretty convinced the touch driver is dropping touch events when it gets short of CPU.

Guest BiggerH Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Installed smart keyboard trial and all working fine. Then put on the pro version and I've lost the swype feature. Can't see it in settings. Anyone please let me know how to get it back Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SilentMobius Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm pretty convinced the touch driver is dropping touch events when it gets short of CPU. Damn I'm wrong, just tried loading up the CPU with "cat /dev/urandom | gzip > /dev/null" on 6 different adb sessions and I didn't get any increase in the dropped touch events, at least none that resulted in stuck touch events. :P Back to the drawing board there.

Guest Drizz Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Does smartkeyboard give you the option to have the key set out in the corners, so you can type with thumbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I gave "Slide IT" (my Desire keyboard of choice) a go earlier. Was good for one hand typing whilst holding the Vega but not so great for anything else. Ideally I would like the Smart Keyboard Pro layout with Slide IT's slide funtion over the top of that!!!

Guest warriorscot Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) This should the file but you need to enable it in settings>language and keyboard before it will show up as an option in input method. So far it seems to be pretty good and better than the standard. What I would like is one of those radial keyboards for just using thumbs. I think it was samsung that used to make those really early tablets/pda that used them. Wouldnt like it for everyday but might be nice for quick messages.TapNTapIME.zip Edited December 1, 2010 by warriorscot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul tweeted about learning to use MessageEase. It's a radial style keyboard with a neat game that you can use to help learn the layout. Only problem is I find it FCs quite a bit while you're in the middle of typing something which is not very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkoUK Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Anyone else use slideit? can you change the size of the keyboard? hmm, it makes it better if you put the gesture pad on screen too. Loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
