this is NOT the point of installing a new keyboard for most people... most people install a new keyboard for features and customizations... NOT to learn an entirely new layout!!

THIS is how the secondary keyboard should be laid out... no exceptions!!! and frankly to the dev, i can't see myself using this keyboard much longer with its current layout... typing with tags on G+ or Twitter is really frustrating... i can deal with the learning curve of the swiping/curve/wave whatever its called... but i'm not going to train myself to learn a new keyboard layout when that stock layout shouldn't have been touched to begin with... there should at least be an option for "Traditional" layout at least...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmuhamma:
I forgot to mention that the keyboard not actually typing issue happened once in the stock Samsung SMS app and once in WhatsApp. It has not happened after that. If it happens again, I'll taktaktake note of the circumstances more carefully.

Edit-sometimes choosing a prediction while typing in the browser results in the word being entered multiple times. TbisTbisThis doesn't seem to be consistent though. Like just there I typed Tbis instead of this and slide the correct word down from by the letter s to the spacspacspace bar. There too I slide the prediction after typing the first 4 letters to produce the bug. This is on the note 2 SGHI-317M TouchWiz 4.1.2 typing in text boxes within the stock web browser.

One thing I would like to see is a seperated option for the keyboard background.

For those saying how a keyboard "SHOULD" be set up. By all means make one your way. Android is ever evolving so you will be ever learning something new as things are changed.

I would appreciate more than three options when I want to correct a word. Possibly a scrolling list like Swype.

Also, the correction list does not appear when I highlight the word, only when I put the cursor next to it. I would like both options to work.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] titanic_fanatic:
They're asking for feedback and that's what were doing. Telling us to make our own is not constructive to anyone.

The point were trying to make is that this is supposed to be a new and fast way to type, and if the layouts don't conform to standards, your speed is dramatically hindered. the1dynasty is correct on this. Some things just should not be changed from standards and a keyboard layout is much the same. You don't see them changing the layout of your physical keyboards... Maybe just more ergonomically designed, but the layout will never change and the same should be true on any mobile platform.

During beta testing I will let this go, but come the official release, I won't be so forgiving of this awkward layout.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
That is not really true. If you look back at the device that won many awards for the keyboard, depending on the carrier the keyboard had a different layout, some had the numbers across the top and some had a ten key setup like this one does.

Now I dont mind giving feedback as that is what this thread is for. It is how it is done that is an issue. Suggestions are great, by all means. Just be respectful in doing so.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] claytonjn:
I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree. This keyboard makes it super easy to enter number by swiping up the letter in the main layout. Just like on a physical keyboard where the top row is good for entering one or two numbers. But ask any accountant...when you have lots of numbers to enter, the number pad, which is also a part of a standard physical keyboard, is immensly more efficient. The current setup gives the best of both worlds. Honestly, if they were to change it to the "traditional" Android layout like you are requesting I would probably stop using it. One of my favorite features of SwiftKey is the similar number layout. If you don't like it, don't use it. Just swipe up on the letters, it's super easy...

I do agree that it should be the regular number pad order though, not the phone pad order.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] titanic_fanatic:
Fair enough ;)

So clearly what is needed here is the ability to choose your own layout based on what works for you. I can't continue to use that layout. It doesn't work for my needs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] claytonjn:
Well yes, obviously that would be the best solution. And I certainly can see your point. If I couldn't swipe up from the regular layout it would be much more frustrating. And in some respects it's similar to changing to an alphabetical layout. Much more efficient theoretically, but if you're not used to it then it is just annoying and slow. I still don't see why the QWERTY layout has remained so long after typewriters though... (for those unaware, the keyboard layout is formatted for typewriters so as to reduce jams, but is, for all intents and purposes, extremely inefficient)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the1dynasty:
[MENTION=4325794]JamMasterClay[/MENTION] i can respect your opinion on wanting to keep it... which is why i suggested having it as an option... my gripe is NOT with the number part... my gripe is the symbols that i regularly use are not on the secondary keyboard... heck, thinking about it, i could even maybe think about using it with its current setup if the keys i need were there... as of now, the secondary keyboard does not include these symbols: # $ %

has anyone ever tried to hashtag something on Google+, Instagram or Twitter?? to have 3 key presses to those keys that are used quite a bit, can be very annoying... i mean, they're on the 3rd keyboard for goodness sake... i might not use % as much... but just yesterday i was typing a text and needed to use the $ several times and i almost threw my phone because i was so frustrated to say prices of things (bit of an exaggeration but u get the point)... # is used daily by anyone on social media sites... so this isn't too much to ask here... at the very least, these symbols would go great on the entirely empty row of letters...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CastielVII:
awesome!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] claytonjn:
I agree, there should be symbols on the second row. I think they should replace the symbols on the number layout that are on the main layout with the ones you mentioned. (# $ %). So we are in agreement for the most part. But I would hate to see the actual numbers moved on the number layout.

I cannot wait for the next beta!!!

I also type in another language as much as in English, and I definitely miss the ease of use of wave when I don't have it.

I haven't gone back to SwiftKey, I love TouchPal!!! Although I do miss the dedicated smiles button :p

I was editing a URL in Firefox and pressed backspace in rapid succession maybe 4 times. The keyboard froze up for at least an actual second. Nexus 4.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] driftinganomaly:
So far I am liking the wave next word prediction feature. I like having predictions and corrections both available.

With the long long-press-duration to get to TB few punctuation marks on the main keyboard and having to go to a different screen for a lot of them is frustrating. I agree with others that this is an area that deserves attention.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lakshan_456:
been using TouchPal keyboard for couple of days now, it's been great so far.

and I really like the design of the numeric keypad. it's really easy to use.

I won't be making any bug complaints, because most of them are already posted in this thread.

another thing I would like to mention is how fast this keyboard really is on my not so powerful HTC wildfire. I'm running CM7.2 overclocked to 691MHz.

with all the features on TouchPal is still pretty smooth, and I can't say the same about Swype or other similar keyboard.

thank you TouchPal for this awesome keyboard.

P.S.- I don't know if it's just me but there is a some lag while the keyboard is opened or closed. about 0.5 secs. wish if it was a little faster.

another thing, while using TouchPal I cannot use the trackball to move the typing marker.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AllSeeyinEye:
The numeric keypad layout isn't new in TouchPal, latest official version has that for a couple of weeks now. I think it's very nice, makes it a lot easier to enter numbers.

Swipe wave touchpal new version.

Hi, I'd like to be part of the new version of touchpal and would like to test it. Hope you give me the chance, I can let you what needs to be done and what's good and bad about it. Nothing negative much like others that exceed. Everything is good about the keyboard just truly some changes can be added.

I have retweeted your tweet and hope I can be a member to test the new keyboard version. Here is my page URL.

Thank you.

I'd best recommend making it easier and faster to use for either way you use it. For example I use the swipe when I charge my phone because the cable charge has to be connected at the top of the phone but it's a slow process to be swiping and get your finger of the keyboard. Which way your swiping either sideways or vertical it should be easy and faster to type with no problem. When typing I think you should use like word memorizable method to have the program learn words for use on swiping and I think it should not matter what language it would be in. For example; I am a bilingual speaker both English and Spanish and talk to my wife in both languages. What would be great is if in both language you can type any word in any language and have the app memorize it so that you can use it in feature times. That be a big plus for me.

Also it clashes with game keyboard when ever I call

This keyword for typing cheats in gta 3 is doesn't show up opens and closes immediately....I have enabled this as default but when enter game keyboard settings to call up this keyboard to write cheats it goes off as soon as I close game keyboard settings...... try it itself u will get to know the problem in better way
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveplayingbattlefield:
Another best thing you could put is a tab for like email settings, for example: the number I tbink would be nice at the top of the keyboard and the paragrapg symbols all fixed under whatever fits. the 2nd section keep the symbols I guess, and the 3rd I would it has to do with email and websites. Very a tab that includes email and URL setting, such like; .com, [MENTION=3708385]yahoo.[/MENTION]com, [MENTION=340169]hotmail[/MENTION].com etc. I don't know if you guys agree with me but it's fast then typing.

Thanks for your support. This is TouchPal Wave beta version, details refer to here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274898
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] netcitizen:
not sure if i got the settings right. I am not really able to type the way shown in the demo video. Whenever i type a word using swiping there is a dark screen that pops up with 3-4 words which mostly are not the next word am looking for and then I need to hit back to get rid of the black screen and then start typing again.

Am running this is on SGS2 4.1.2 stock rom.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

According to the bug you find, we can't reproduce that. Could you please send us more details?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmuhamma:
Would it be possible to add an option for disabling haptic feedback (vibration) when a prediction is used by waving? I've turned off "Keypress vibration" in the app settings, but that doesn't have any effect on waved predctions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] titanic_fanatic:
When using an apps search function such as the play store, after typing your search query, the next predictions show up on the keyboard. The only way to clear them is to press enter, space or type/swype/wave to enter the next word. This requires you to press enter twice. Once to clear the next word prediction and once to submit the search.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] athdaraxen:
I didn't see this but I did skim so I might have missed it.

I have this bad problem where I miss the space bar (keyboard set to smallest but I have small hands and tend to miss it) and I'll start combining words. Swiftkey and stock can usually tell that I've done this and fix it, TouchPal never sees this kind of error and usually just wants me to save it as a new word. Is this something that can be fixed?

Edit: I know what Titanic is talking about. I always have to hit enter twice for any searches I do. I'm so used to just hitting it once. It messes me up a lot lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragge1989:

I'm so glad you added the number sign to the first symbol page... before it was really hard to type my password cause I had to switch pages a lot.

I wish though that you would add some extra symbols to the main page such as the asterisk and the colon as I use them so much that it is a pain to use this keyboard.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nantax:
Still no settings for Tap timeout and Long press duration.

I am really waiting for the Tap timeout setting because when:

swiping fails...

prediction fails...

auto correction fails...

word not in the dictionary...

TouchPal is just confused on what you are trying to do...

you still have to manually input words. And considering that I use the compact layout more, I am really missing it since

Multiling, Smartkeyboard and Ultrakeyboard has that setting.

Haptic Feedback when dragging words (Wave) to the spacebar is not following the settings from

Settings > General > Keypress vibration. Even if it is turned off, it still vibrates.

When Waving words and you press space, it does not convert the double space to period.

Maybe change the description for keypress sound when it is at zero to Muted to match the description of

Keypress vibration when set to zero which is Closed.

Disable prompt when you turn prediction on or off. It blocks the main keyboard view and it is pretty intuitive already

if prediction is turned on or off.

I find this keyboard to be unusable now in compact keyboard because there are only three words in the prediction bar. Before you can

scroll through the list sideways and long press words to make its priority higher. Now there is no way I can do that.

Uninstalling and going back to TouchPal (not Wave) since this beta is not doing anything to help me type faster.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] knutars:
1, the numeric pad is perfectly logical with 123 placed at the top, resembling how 123 are placed with QWE, normally.

2, the voice input is even better than Google's own... strangely enough.

3, Sony Ericsson had a smart solution where you were able to switch between three different layouts (alpha, numeric and symbols) by swiping from the edges of the keyboard. I'd love this in TouchPal.

4, the size of the smallest layout in landscape mode is still too large. Way too large. Immensely too large. I can't even begin to describe how bloody large it is. For god's sake, shrink it!

5, the wave seems like a nice idea, but I'm not sure if it really speeds up typing. Swiping makes all the difference already. But by all means, keep it as an option, it's not disturbing or anything.

6, I've been using TouchPal even though I have paid versions of Swiftkey and the other big brand... can't remember the name... it's simply faster already, even without the wave technology, and better looking too. Not to forget, it's even free to use.

7, make use of long press on the space bar.

8, thank you for listening to your users, much appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TouchPal:
Thanks for your supports, we will add more language soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AllSeeyinEye:
Don't know if you've read my earlier post, but regarding the Wave feature, would it be possible to shorten the slide to accept a Wave? Right now you have to slide all the way to the spacebar. I think a short flick up from the suggestion would suffice to select it. This would feel a lot more natural then the long swipe from (i.e.) W or P to spacebar. This is, of course, with Curve turned off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nimrodity:
completely agree would love to see that in some way,but you have to keep in mind the reason why you have to drag it completely to the spacebar is because you can continue draggin for there to the next curve word.

But there should defintely be something like "touchpal flick" to get it done.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AllSeeyinEye:
I understand the current reason, but I've turned Curve off because I simply don't like it combined with Wave. It's either swiping entire words or typing and Waving them (like Swiftkey's space to autocomplete the first suggestion, but with Wave you've got more suggestions to choose from).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] claytonjn:
So far, after a few days of use, the biggest issues I have are

1. It would be nice if there was a count that shows on the touchpal icon when there's a notification. Right now it can only be seen when you tap it to reveal the notifications. This is very minor.

2. I've never been able to successfully use wave when the first suggested wave word is on the bottom row or letters (Z,X,C,V,B,N,M). when trying to go from the word to the spacebar it either is too short to register or things I'm trying to do the punctuation. I think to initially activate wave, instead of going from the first word to spacebar, then going word to word you should go from the first word to the touchpal icon in the upper left, then go from word to word. This way it wont interfere with the bottom row swipe to spacebar for characters, or the top row swipe up for numbers.
