Before switching to android, make sure you disable imessage in your old iPhone before activating an android device. This is due to a bug in the iphone that sends texts into space because of friends or family with I phones still haves your number associated with imessage.

Simple fix is to get switfkey, then go to theme and layout, key height and change portrait to large.

I'm not either... Never needed to when the Google keyboard has gesture typing built in.

To be fair, the Google keyboard isn't the same as SwiftKey or Swype. Those keyboards are much smarter in how they learn your use of language and offer suggestions based on it.

I used both SwiftKey or Swype and stock keyboard on my previous phones.The only previous phone I kept Swype on for an extended time was the Droid X.So far I havent switch out from the stock keyboard on Moto X.
I really havent had an issue with most stock keyboards,Swype or Swiftkey. I tend to turn off word prediction(auto-correction) on any keyboard tho .I cant really stand that

I have had better success typing using swipe style typing with the stock Google keyboard than using either Swype or Swiftkey.

I find myself occasionally trying to move away from swiftkey, but after a period of time always go back to swiftkey. Nothing like it really

I'm a Swiftkey user as well. Didn't like the Google keyboard either, I save way more strokes with Swiftkey and T9 number pad is brilliant if you type a lot of numbers on a phone. To be able to select a word and have it automatically insert a space after it is much smarter than the Google keyboard or iphone keyboard way.

Yea..although there's the occasional person that likes to stand up and say they don't use swiftkey to be "individual", I would like to see a survey. I'd have to say 70% of all android users use swiftkey a majority of the time.

I'd be willing to bet that the majority (or close to majority) of Android users use whatever keyboard came installed on their phone. I'm sure a lot of people who aren't geeks like us aren't really aware of the keyboard options available to them. If SwiftKey has a majority of Android users, it's probably only because their software comes preinstalled on Samsung phones.

 

[fldude99]

^^That could be true. I guess it would have to be a survey here or on another similar forum

I want to keep my Moto X as stock as possible and stopped using Nova Launcher and other clock widgets but I just couldn't get used to Google keyboard. Selecting the word to autocomplete then having to press the spacebar is an extra keystroke when using the iphone or Google keyboard. With Swiftkey you select the word to autocomplete AND it inserts the space for you.
