Greetings,

I have just wondered which QWERTY keyboard is the best to use in your Xperia Mini?
Do you use Swipe? Does it work on Mini well?
I wouldn't like to type SMS, emails etc. with old-fashioned way (using original numeric keyboard).

Thanks for every hint,
Cheers,
L1

Nope swype doesn't work, but u can try shapewriter, which works similiar to swype.

others which works well are AnySoftkeyboard(which i am currently using).

Thanks. I just tried AnysoftKeyboard and somehow it doesn't work. I have found it in my phone settings under Locale & Text with, it's ON, QWERTY Latin SET, but apparently I missed something. (I also checked the quick button in the right corner of the screen when writing a message).

Any suggestion how to make it work?

Touchpal

I am a big fan of Touchpal from my old phone (DSTL1) era. it works like a charm in my new X10Pro also. It brings one valuable feature to X10 the missing up/down scroll and editing features while typing/editing text/mails etc along with my fav cootek 2letter keyboard for easy typing.

The problem with the mini is, that the original keyboard shows the keys AND the inputfield/sendbutton. 3.party keyboards only show the keys, so that you will get problems with the inputfield in the original sms app... thats funking ****.

I would prefer a qwerty keyboard only in landscape mode. unfortunately there is no landscape mode for the default sms app.

I'm using HTC touch input on X10 mini pro, and it works wonders.. Worths a try if you are looking for qwerty keypad.. And it works with default SMS app

Might be worth mentioning that that swiftkey a paid app..
However it's the one i use as well, very impressive.

This should work, try it.


* Simply download and copy the apk on your SD (or push using adb).
* Install it with package installer (or adb install -r method)
* Once it is installed, go to Settings>Locale & text
* Disable Default Input
* Then enable Touch input
* Change touch input settings if you need or want.
