Anybody posting here on an Android phone?
A big fucking PITA, ain't it??? Makes me want to use this marvelous new device as a skipping stone. I think I can get at least six skips out of it if I huck it hard.
So has anyone found a decent keyboard app besides Swype that doesn't need micron-sized fingertips? I've tried Swype and not too keen on it. When the keyboard takes up 3/4 of the scren and you can't scroll the text to see what the fuck you're typing, you're sorta screwed with these.

Maybe if you stopped posting novels, using CAPS LOCK every line, etc, you'd be ok.

Swype sucks, use SwiftKey.

SwiftKey is cool but has enough problems and annoyances that I just went back to the stock keyboard.

Title should read: "Anybody else suck at typing on a phone?"
Use the quote button and cut out the essays and it's not so hard.

I use one called Thumb Keyboard. It was a piad app but i like supporting the Devs for android. It makes the keyboard split so you can use only your thumbs and type faster and seemingly more accurately.
Ive tried swype and swiftkey and this is by far the best for me. No issues responding to posts from my phone. I dont do it a lot but...no issues when i do.
YMMV

x3. Use the free trial for a month and you won't be able to go back. Then pay the $2. You're welcome. Originally Posted by lrn2swim

I just took my LG MyTouch Android back after two weeks. Dropped calls, 2 hour battery charge (why have the apps if you can't use them all day???), unreliable commands, even dialing the wrong person out of the blue--it just plain sucked. Got a Samsung Galaxy S II to replace it. It's supposed to be a lot better. I'll have to wait and see. Originally Posted by Alaskan Rover
