Samsung Keyboard = Fail?

**Destination Moon** · 07-11-2012, 02:39 PM

Does anyone else dislike the Samsung Swype Keyboard?? I have had a couple phones and there was always access to punctuation keys on the home keyboard by long pressing. Also, there does not seem to be a way to bring up a cursor control board like you had on my Razr?? Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

Swift key is what I'm using.

I REALLY disliked the stock keyboard. Tried adjusting to it for a couple of frustrating days then installed the Swype Beta.

It took two hours before i went back to Swype.

Switched to swiftkey as soon as I got it. Tried it on someone else's GSIII late last night and was annoyed by it.

I am another strong vote for Swift Key 3! Been using it for awhile now after switching to it from Swype. It's fast and has the punctuation keys I want right on the main screen as well as really amazing predictive capabilities. Always first thing to go on a new phone.

It isn't the worst I've used by far. But I use Swype.

Never tried it. I too installed my Swiftkey 3 immediately!!! Loving it!

Dumb question but its been a long time since I had the beta. How do I get it and load it into my phone? Its not on G Play from what I can see.

I used the Samsung keyboard to activate the phone and download Swype beta. It's terrible.

Samsung keyboard is horrible. I got SwiftKey keyboard free a while back and it is way better.

Same here, got it free from the Amazon App Store.

SwiftKey 3 here...

If you like to swipe instead of type, then going with the Swype beta is also an option...

I find Swype to be very impressive...and somewhat usable... I used it for a long time, but found myself backspacing to correct words that weren't quite swiped correctly... Switched to SwiftKey and have been very happy... I love the predictive technology...

Is anyone else's SwiftKey getting squirrely when using Chrome?

I liked the ICS keyboard and there are a couple in the market but I have not tried them yet, right now I am using a gingerbread keyboard that installed on my phones automatically, been in my apps for so long unused and I forgot about it until now

it will do until I find something better

**cae2685** · 07-11-2012, 08:06 PM

I do love Swype, but the newest version is NOT my favorite. They removed or rearranged some stuff that I used to use constantly, and now can't. HATE the new design for the number pad screen (Swipe from the Swype button to the 5 if you don't know what screen I mean.) Also, the design of the keypad screen is different (swipe from swype to the button just to its right for this one) and I really don't like either.

Yeah not a fan so far. I'm going to have to try out some new ones, but i had to at least shut off the predictive text for now. It was too inaccurate and intrusive.

I hated the Samsung keyboard, but I am a fan of the simple ICS keyboard. I had my switched within 10 minutes.

**asmallchild** · 07-11-2012, 10:18 PM

the stock keyboard is TERRIBLE

already replace with swype and swiftkey 3 (I can never decide between the 2)

I actually found the stock ICS keyboard to be pretty good as well
