No no that was with SwiftKey. I'm saying there is no way 8pen will keep up with that.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Ahh, for a while there I thought I was just being pathetic at 8pen.

I agree, 8pen will never be as fast as Swiftkey due to the auto-guess at the next word thingy (especially in a typing test program that uses the same phrases over & over). But keep in mind, you can also add similar functions to 8pen eventually.

Also, remember that 8pen isn't designed nor intended to be the fastest keyboard out there.

Now an aside on Swiftkey: I've been using Sliding keyboard on WinMo ever since SlideIT first came out (couple years anyway). On Android, I was using Swype for quite a while but got fed up with the wrong guesses that were happening way too often. Overall, it was fast - but annoying too many times.

When Swiftkey came out, I bought it at the discounted launch price. My big learning curve was hitting 2 problems. 1) I kept hitting space after a period which auto-entered a word which I would have to kill, and 2) I was having problems where I was typing slow because I was constantly looking at the 3 suggested words instead of typing. (ie, would have been faster to just finish typing the dang word)

In short, I was hitting a learning curve as well. I presume given time, I'd ignore the letters (as my fingers automatically found them without looking) and I could spend all my time looking at the 3 suggestions without slowing my typing. I'm also guessing that people don't use the space bar very much using Swiftkey (please correct me here if I'm wrong).

Anyhow, for someone like me that is used to typing with 1 finger & sliding my words - 8pen is more natural then Swiftkey. When a month or so is up with 8pen, I'll have to decide if I want to stick with it, or go back to Swype/SlideIT/Ultra Keyboard. I might try Swiftkey again, but thumb typing is just not my forte.

Now, if 8pen can eventually add similar (possibly copyrighted) next word guesses - well, best of both worlds. Oh - Swiftkey also has some pretty good error correction, but it's not really needed for 8pen since it's not like you just missed the 's' key and hit 'd' instead.

As usual, sorry for the rambling. Might look for some tips threads for Swiftkey to get some ideas on better productivity.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Just doing routine updates & noticed an update to 8pen. Was looking at the page to see what changed, but noticed a key bit (confirmed via appbrain) - 8pen is now free.

I think this is a great idea for the potential long-term life of the keyboard. Get a loyal following by getting a lot of people using the keyboard, and no one will mind paying a couple dollars later. Also, let word of mouth spread..

According to the site, upgrades are:

New in version 1.1

- Auto-space is now optional, and disabled by default

- Voice input (Android 2.2 with voice recognition enabled)

- Preview popup

- Improved dictionary support (suggestions, auto-complete, quick fixes)

- Basic themes

- Height adjustment

- Fine-grained shift pressure threshold

- Optional vibration when passing through central region

- Slightly modified numeric layout, for easier access to #, & etc.

- HTC Tattoo fix

- Fix of phone keyboard bug that caused force close on some phones

Neat, some of my requests made it :)
[Android Apps and Games] DraginMagik:
a 2 week trial would have been enough to get me to try this keyboard out. but since it's free then without a doubt I'll give it a go. hopefully a few folks take to it and they are able to continue developing this software. it may not be the final replacement for qwerty, but I'm glad they're thinking outside the box.
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Yea I tried and i couldn't get the hang of it; it's a totally different type of keyboard that takes some time to get used to; I am pretty damn fast on the normal keyboard now so i think I'll stick with that; I'm pretty fast with swype too but I think its a tad better on stock when I'm using two hands. Q
[Android Apps and Games] cmusciano:
My biggest problem with 8pen is that when my finger is sitting on the center target, it blocks my view of the letters, so I cannot figure out where the next letter is. Move them away from the center target, further along the colored bars!

I really like Swype but am getting frustrated at the idiotic guesses. It *always* guesses "too" instead of "to" or "thee" instead of "the." There needs to be a better threshold for "wiggle for double letters."
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Are you on the new (1.1) version? Turn the preview popup on & set it for top/center. That gives you a floating picture of the layout above where your finger is. After about a week or so or regular use, you'll have the locations down & not need the popup anymore.

Agreed on Swype. When it works, it works very well - but I seem to hit bad days & want to throw something when I use it.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Maybe I am using it wrong, but I use space a lot of SwiftKey. However, I did turn off the "auto enter next word" or what not option, it's in the prefs and I'm pretty sure it's off by default. That way you can hit spaces etc all you like.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I don't think there is a using it wrong, that's what preferences are for :)

Checking now - yep, I have the 'space always accepts middle word' checked. Turning it off now. I know there are days where I'm just in the mood for thumb-typing, and Swiftkey is still clearly the best at it.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
If you like this, you should definitely have a look at MessagEase! Had it since my old WinMo 5.0 device and it is now released for Android. Great concept.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I tried ME a ways back on WinMo. At the time I didn't like it cause of the learning curve (like 8pen) was steep. But in addition at the time I was using a HTC advantage (mainly in landscape) and ME too up waaaaaay too much space. A final reason was I was/am trying to avoid carpel tunnel by lifting my finger over & over - it's a reason why I like slidey keyboards like Swype & 8Pen so much.

Since I presume you have years of practice, how's your speed with it? How about accuracy/error correcting, etc? I'll give it a shot again, for the fun if nothing else!
[Android Apps and Games] wvcachi:
So now that 8pen has been out for a while, has anyone's speed gotten really smokin'? I gave it up after a couple days, but might give it another shot...definitely liking the improvements in the update...
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I'm not smoking, but Typing test shows improvement. Due to the nature of one letter at a time, I don't think this will ever be as fast as I hoped.

However, I tried switching back to Ultra today and it felt surprisingly weird to be typing on it. I presume I could re-adjust very quickly though. Overall I'm still sticking to 8pen because I don't have any typos or mis-guessed words, or to put it another way, you won't see me on: http://damnyouautocorrect.com/

Oh - finally tried one of the Fruit Ninja games yesterday, I was kinda surprised how similar it was to 8pen :)
[Android Apps and Games] rdcrds:
Hype the piece of crap hype it OP
[Android Apps and Games] wvcachi:
Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Meh, I tried using it but I just didn't like it; it seemed like I had to do too much movement to get a word typed.
[Android Apps and Games] D3fault121:
I tried using it for a while myself but it takes a lot more movement to type a word when I can just draw a line around a keyboard and spell a word (swype). It is a neat new idea but it just isn't as fast.
[Android Apps and Games] flide:
Believe me, I am no Nacromancer

Hey all,

I know this thread seems to be dead for about 2 years now, but I just could not resist posting my experience.

I have been using 8pen for about 3 days now and already i can type almost as fast as is needed to reply texts, and that too when all the predictive texts and autocompletion have been turned off ( so that i can practice a little better).

I must tell you people, this thing is pretty convinient.

And for the speed hounds out there... this input method was never designed for speed, it was designed to be intutive, simple and "non-frustrating" and I will say it does a pretty good job at that.

Now I can type while i walk without slowing my speed and looking into my screen only occasionally... and that's something, won't you say?

But I am a speed hound myself, so I am going to try developing a speed testing app to accomodate the predictive texting and autocompletion methodologies into account. And "if" I ever complete it, I am definately going to post my best score out here.

And the biggest benefit I found of 8pen was that now I can "Actually" use VIM on my android, which is although my favorite text editor on PC and was utterly useless and frustrating in a touch screen device. But now is really just as useful on this small device now. All the operators are essentially converted into operators and so are all the movements (well leaving h,l,j,k which are not so useful an a touch device anymore).

All-in-all the usability of my device has increased 2 folds in just 3-4 days... I don't think I am EVER going back.

For the "steep-learning-curve" proponents... I always find that investing a little time and effort to learn something better pays off pretty soon. In my life, when it comes to computers, I have been through plenty example to prove that... major ones being : learning DVORAK keyboard, learning VIM and now to the major list 8pen will be soon added, I am pretty sure of that.

If you people have given it up, in order to "swype"... I will request you to reconsider, because with practice and time your speed can only increase and only limiting factor will be your dexterity, which no other input method can boast of on a touch screen atleast.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DJSatanUK:
I've spent a few days searching on here and the wider internet for help but haven't been able to find the info I need.

The Goal: I have my stereo hooked up on the opposite side of the room to my laptop. I want to be able to plug my Leo into the stereo to play music, either from the SD Card, internet stream or PC stream, and then control the Leo over the WiFi network so I can stop\start or change streams.

I have tried installing "droid VNC server" on the phone and a vnc client on my laptop. Droid VMC server appears to work but when I try and connect it just times out. I have read that Droid VNC Server does not work with droid phones (I presume they mean Motorola) but I can't see any mention of anyone trying it with Android on a Leo. Has anybody been able to get it working? I think part of the problem is the amount of time the network just drops before freezing but I understand those issues are being worked on and I hope a fix is found soon.

If Droid VNS Server does not work has anybody got any suggestions for controlling the Leo remotely over WiFi?

Once that works has anyone also got any recommendations for decent streaming apps?

I'm running the Shubcraft build with CyanogenMod 6.

Hey, I'm having a problem with my phone 3g usage:

last night, while I was sleeping, it downloaded 25mb of data through 3g (100mb data plan :( ).

I'm wandering if there's an app to see the exact logs of WHAT has been downloaded?

PS: I'm using azure 1.0.1

Trafficstats lite shows an high data usage (39mb) of "drm protected content storage", but I don't know what it is nor if it's the app that downloaded last night.

Callmeter 3g shows me the data logs, but not what has been downloaded and by which app...

Hi,

I am sorry if this has already been mentioned, but what languages can you set in the Z's brought from the U.K. ?

I live in Denmark and would very much want a danish UI (the z is not coming to Denmark anytime soon).

Maybe some of you who get the phone tomorrow can be kind to rapport what languages are included.

Thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] muminisko:
Some time ago I have Desire Z ROM installed on my HD2 and Danish was on the list :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Porcelina:
I think you can select language on your first boot (looks like you can on Desire HD).. the thing you should consider, is the hardware keyboard. Remember that there will be a nordic version of the keyboard on the Desire Z, which you won't get if you order from the UK :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Janik_dk:
Hi,

That sounds very promising - but i would still appreciate if some of the new Z owners could confirm this :)

(i am planning on buying it from handtec..)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Janik_dk:
I called HTC today and they told me the keyboard would not change fro Denmark/nordic.. ? (it sgould work like if i press "o" in a word it the t9 translate it to "ø")

Where have you heard about nordic keyboard?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Porcelina:
I have not just heard about it, after googling desire z and nordisk, I also have a picture to prove it :)

Edit: Picture was huuuge. Check this link: http://images.gfx.no/727/727400/nordtast.jpg
[G2 and Desire Z General] Janik_dk:
Oh..

OK! - thanks a lot Porcelina - that probably mean i have to wait for the nordic release then :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Porcelina:
You're welcome.. and maybe you'll find comfort in knowing I'm waiting for the nordic keyboard myself :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Janik_dk:
Ah nice - you're from Denmark too?

I just suspect the Z wont be hitting Denmark anytime soon (and my old Palm Pre is dying / falling apart..) And they've just got Desire HD in stock...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Porcelina:
No, not from Denmark.. but I'm from one of the other nordic countries ;)

Not sure when it will arrive here either.. my order says nov 20th as an estimated date - but they said nov 15th for Desire HD and suddenly they started dispatching the orders last week :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Hrm... on the Canadian one on first boot I had a list of languages but wasn't paying attention... once mine is charged I'll see if I can change to Danish.

Hi guys,

do any of you know how to disable text underlining while typing anything? (For example writing an SMS). Before 2.1 a used that built-in SE keyboard, which did this as well, but I managed to disable it by disabling word auto-completion (or whatever it's called), but now on 2.1 I'm not able to get rid of it. I don't use that new SE keyboard, I use Smart Keyboard Pro instead, but it seems that it doesn't matter which keyboard I'm currenty using as they all (Androids native, SE, Smart KB Pro) underline the word I'm just typing.

I have tried to google it...without any luck.
