Very interesting. I'm guessing there aren't any negative side effects (like the buttons no longer responding when the screen is locked, like the rest of the "soft" buttons), otherwise you wouldn't have posted it, haha.

May have to give this a try for giggles later.
[Captivate General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
buttons you make virtual will not work in lockscreen
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I tried this and it wasn't working, so I changed the rest of the files in that folder to say VIRTUAL & now my buttons are broken. I changed them back but they still don't work :( and yes I rebooted..
[Captivate General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
can you tell what you did step by step

and for a fix reflash your rom

and also virtual buttons do not work on lockscreen
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I followed the tutorial correctly. Nothing changed after reboot. So I investigated & checked out the other text files in that folder, saw they had

Power wake

Volume wake

Etc

So I changed all those to virtual, rebooted, now buttons are broken. Could someone post all the stock files from their phone?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I have a Sensation XE currently and it has a built in keyboard for swipe words, called trace

Will the S3 have one built into OS naively? I know there are ones on Play Store but with everything being typed on them prefer built in one from manufacturer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
Probably not, as I haven't heard a mention of it anywhere.

But there shouldn't be any privacy issues if you can find a keyboard on the play store that doesn't require internet connection.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SS:
Actually, I'd probably guess that it will have it, as it comes standard on other Galaxy phones. Keep in mind that I don't have a GS3, but I would think it odd if they downgraded their features over successive releases..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKboy92:
You know that Swype is free and downloadable on their website, right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
Yes I know swype is free, but as above would rather have a stock app, then no privacy issues.

Play store keyboard apps I'm a little wary of.

Does the S2 have a swype/trace keyboard inbuilt stock app?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
The international S2 has it stock, dont know about carrier versions. It is an interesting question and it would seem to be a no brainer since Samsung has commercial licensing agreetment(s) with Swype. It could almost swear somewhere or other I saw a video with the swype keyboard up? lol Getting old I guess.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaesterB:
I'm surprised people still use swype. It was fun for a few minutes, but typing is where it's at. Especially SwiftKey. :-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hboos:
swiftkey depresses me.. I realised that I was more predictable than I had previously thought.

swype is still my favourite though.. I actually have fun with it and I can type things up faster than with swiftkey or other keyboards (or at least it feels this way)

Once you get good at it, swype can be really fast
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
I have swiftkey pro and use it when I want to do more technical typing such as a message that uses a lot of characters, numbers, etc. For these I find it goes quicker. For most typical stuff though like the average text message I can do it much more swiftly with swype. As said, swype takes a little time to get used to but once you do it becomes very quick and easy. I am not surprised that the phone typing record is held by a swype user.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I come to android from iOS and so to have an option was great! Didn't know it was built into my XE (known as trace) until someone showed me, I now is out all the time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4571279:
G Nexus has it so S3 shoul have it too,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
Great thanks, what version is it? Built in yes?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
Swype is much faster than any typing. And according to reviews GS3 has it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc0rp10:
No swype is not bundled with it. The only options I get are Samsung keyboard which is basically a version of the aosp keyboard and the Google voice recognition typing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Do you have any issues while typing on the keyboard? Running CM/AOSP ROMs it seems that sometimes it wants to not register a specific key no matter what until u restart it, along with other issues. Maybe you have experienced this with other android Custom ROMs. My main question is does that keyboard have any bugs like this? If not I'll be blissfully happy!

Keep it Classy, Cali.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc0rp10:
To be honest I prefer the aosp keyboard over this because I feel it has better prediction. I think Samsung tried to make it smarter but ended up screwing it. Specially for non standard English words. But may be its just me. Others might find it working well for them.

But I haven't had any issues in registering any letters. The only problem I had was while typing in sygic navigation app where it was picking a different letter from what I was typing. But it might be an app specific issue.

Apart from that the Samsung keyboard is more or less the same as aosp.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Thank you for the intelligence in your response

Keep it Classy, Cali.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
Thumb Keyboard 4 is where its at.

its not talked about as much, but let me just put it this way

Swift Key is based around the idea that youll make tons of mistakes and itll correct them for you

Thumb Keyboard 4 is based around the idea that youll have so much room typing that you wont make any errors, and the ones you do itll correct them for you.

i find thumb keyboard 4 to be the best. swift key forces me to pick auto corrections, i dont like that.. try making o.o on swift key, go ahead try it lol..

pics i think are from Thumb Keyboard 3, the interface is much prettier now in thumb keyboard 4, but the keyboard layout is the same. there are 14 layouts to choose from, and you can change keys to be custom characters/combos
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
mmm so which is it, or does it depend on the locality?

I'm in UK so want to know the UK version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasrb:
Yes, bought my phone in Dubai and it has it listed under keyboard options as "keyboard skype".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
So no definitive yes or no on whether swype is included or not?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
YES, but part of predictive text. Haven't tried it too much. Plenty of options in the keyboard section.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] declanh:
No - thats keyboard SWIPE as a gesture to change letters-> symbols

thats entirely different to the swype keyboard which is an entirely different keyboard input method. I used swype a lot on my htc desire but eventually dropped to to save some valuable app space. Would like it back tho if i ever get my preorder blue s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kainyt:
Swype has been integrated to samsung keyboard in S3.

Check out

Edit: remove the space between "15 27s" for the link to work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc0rp10:
I can confirm that the swype is integrated into the default Samsung keyboard. You need to enable it in the options.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Rry but i dont own the device so i cant tell you. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoEnd:
I have S3 too, and I Approve that
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erazer007:
Yes it does. But the Swipe under the settings is not Swype. That swipe is just to switch easily between caps and small letters and between the different modes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
What are you smoking do you own an s3 I wrote this comment by just swyping my finer over the keyboard
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenwchan:
I have the phone in hand. It has Swype-like word tracing integrated in the Samsung keyboard. But the option is called "Continuous input". You must check this box to enable swyping. This is confusing as underneath this is "Keyboard swipe" (yes, spelled swipe) option which is to switch between letters and symbols by swiping keyboard horizontally" - (which I couldn't get to happen while continuous input was on- lol)

Don't know if this is an "official" Swype or just Samsung's version of it but anyways, that tracing function is there still, but not a separate keyboard layout like it used to be.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie301184:
To clarify, not ALL fields are swype (continuous input) compatible. To test this (and assuming you have the option turned on), start a new sms message. In the "To:" field (where you type the recipients name), you can not swype. When you click on the body of the message, the words "Predictive text area" appear above the keyboard, and you can swype in this section.

See the screenshots

Without swype:

With Swype:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erazer007:
Read my comment again please. I said it does have Swype answering the thread question. I do own an S III. And after saying that it does have Swype I just wanted to confirm that Swype is different from the Swipe feature under the settings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
As a major fan of swype, I'm not happy with the samsung keyboard. I miss all the features I'm used to in swype, particularly the extra characters above the letters, and the cut/paste features etc. So I've installed the swype beta on it.

The first time you change keyboard to swype, it appears as a tiny keyboard in the bottom left of the screen, quite unusable. But if you flip to landscape, and then back to portrait it take the full screen width. But the keyboard height ends up being about one third smaller than a standard keyboard. I'll take a screen shot shortly and post it. In saying that, I dislike the samsung keyboard enough and love swype enough to put up with that most of the time.

I have the touchpal keyboard also installed and it shows in normal, full size. So I don't know what can be done about the swype height issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenwchan:
I am using the Swype Beta keyboard with my S3 and I quite like it. After going through some registration hoops you can get it directly on their website.

www.swype.com
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runaway64:
I think it is different from the trusted Swype developments since not all input fields are "swype compatible", it does not add your contact list to the dictionary word list, etc, etc.

It look like a copycat at best.

I miss swype, but after reading about keyboard size on the screen, I do not know...

Only thing I am sure, this IS NOT swype!!

Also, the word prediction is beyond awful!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zpeedie:
Swipe is definitely NOT Swype

I recently upgraded from a SGH-T959 to a SGH-T999. One of the first things I missed was Swype. Swipe needs a lot of work.

I know a few others were having trouble downloading, but I just downloaded/installed about 10 minutes ago. It's a somewhat convoluted process, and I recommend following their FAQ which you can find here: beta.swype.com/android/welcome/detailed

It is a beta, and not identical to the version that was installed on my Galaxy S1, but it's a whole lot better than Swipe!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I`am using Slideit keyboard (paid version) for a long time now and i love it. Imo better than swype and many free skins and languages available.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
The "continuous input" feature on the Samsung standard keyboard on the SGS3 is OK, but only if you have never used better. Swype is a make-or-break feature for me, and the standard keyboard is just too dumb, and feature-lacking to compete.

I've tried touchpal - not a whole lot better. Swype beta is not quite as good as the baked-in app, and has many hoops to jump through to complete the install.

Pain in the bum really :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
What's the point of this thread if you already know Swype isn't built in?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elmi:
It must be a Samsung type of Swype. I didn't like the swype that came with it. I went and downloaded the swype beta, a lot more intuitive and a lot easier to use. Swype Beta saves words you add to the dictionary by just tapping the word you type, the Samsung one didn't.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghydda:
I'm still on the first Galaxy, although it's rooted and flashed with JB :good:

I looooved the embedded swyping Sammy put in the first Galaxy, but it did have it's quirks. When I free'd myself from Sammy's tyranny, I found Swype Beta and came to love it even more - it's simply better than the first Sammy-version. And all input areas in my JB are Swype-able. And the tap-to-add-to-dictionary is a major advancement over the Sammy supplied.

However being a non-native english speking person I often switch input language during the day and as such the Swype Beta falls short and is not as fast/convenient as the old Sammy Swype - that one used a swype gesture on the spacebar to switch between languages (fast as hell to switch, even mid-sentence) but Swype Beta requires a 'tap-and-hold', waitng for a pop-up window, select desired language. That is neither fast nor convenient. Oh-well... :rolleyes:

As a footnote I can see why native English speaking persons may not find Swype all that superior. Most words in the English dictionary are not that long.

In Danish we bundle up words to form new words and as such the words grow quite fast in length. For instance in Danish a 'speeding ticket offence' becomes speedingticketoffense and 'figure skating competition' becomes 'figureskatingcompetition'. The actual type of the offence/competition gets assigned its own dedicated word (much like dear old pothead Bush, making up words as he goes a long - he cracks me up everytime). That means for me swyping goes a helluva lot faster than any other method on my native tongue.

im having difficulties in adding the sound file into my animation

can anyone help out?

btw the file attached

it consists of pictures, sound file(in OGG and mp3 format) just in case
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sound at boot is a sound file type OGG for ICS or WAV for GB located in System/Etc as POWERON file .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamfe1991:
can anyone type the whole address and file name for me

btw im using rooted, flashed to 4.0.4 with 1.9.1 rom control
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
JJEgan told you what you needed to know...

/system/etc/PowerOn.ogg

So rename your .ogg file to PowerOn.ogg, and put in in /system/etc.

Though, some custom ROMs don't appear to support boot sounds. Since you say you're on 4.0.4, I have to assume you're on a custom ROM, since Samsung has only released up to 4.0.3 in terms of Samsung stock firmwares.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamfe1991:
Thx for ur advice

I follow exact the same as u guys advise but its not working

From the very beginning, it has no boot sound at all after i rooted and flashed. Would that differ the settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Try re-reading the last paragraph of my last post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamfe1991:
so im dead man any recommended ROM that supports boot sound?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not from me. I don't recommend ROMs, because that always leads to a "what's the best ROM" debate, which usually ends up getting the thread locked.

(refer to this)

If you want a guarantee that boot sound will work, then flash back to stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Might be worth converting to OGG rather than renaming . Might be worth reading the faq for whatever rom you use.

sorry jje but this forum in not only for perfect english talking guys - see my broken english - i´m german but i understand what is talking here

regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I don't think he's talking about broken English, exactly. More the insistence of some members to type "English" (some call it "text talk") like:

u = you

ur = your (or sometimes you're)

wat = what

don = don't

2 = to (or sometimes too)

wrk = work

eva = ever

abt = about

neva = never

wiv = with

kno = know

and so on, and so forth.

I personally find this really irritating, (but nonetheless, I can still generally read it) and I know that many other members who can manage to decipher it feel much the same way... but to many non-native English speakers, it makes it especially hard. Plus, it makes it so the bulk of posts that are comprised of such nonsense will not run through Google Translate, so any non-English speakers who don't speak or read any English at all, REALLY won't understand.

So even though people who post in such a manner may be trying to be helpful, it sometimes ends up being counter-productive.

Edit to add: This is just my opinion, by the way... I'm not trying to flame, or say that Sun90 wasn't being helpful - he was, and he by far is NOT the worst perpetrator I've seen doing "text talk"; I'm just saying that some don't seem to consider how difficult it can be for non-English speakers when they post using "text talk" or use abbreviations, or even slang that could be common to a specific country or region.
