Hi everyone,
On the french google store, the folio keyboard is not available any more.
Is it definitive ? The "button" saying unavailable is grey. Do you see it available in your country ?
I tried to ask the google support and they told me "well it's recent so check everyday, it should come back"... not very helpful.
Do you know if I can find it somewhere else ?
Anyone of you want to get rid of his ?
Thanks!
Available in Australia
available in the UK (I'm a little concerned by the OP username, though! EDIT: an honest mistake that's been sorted by the OP and responded to below. Bravo!)

Thanks for the info.
About the username, as I told to kboya in pm, I'm French and at the moment of creating a nickname (because my usual klown was already used) I didn't think enough. I sent a nickname change request. Sorry if it had offended someone.
In Canada last time I checked the folio keyboard wasn't available. I thought that might mean it has been discontinued but don't know?

Isn't that the normal keyboard, not the folio? I bought the normal keyboard in the end because the folio was showing up as unavailable
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
this is the folio page. not sure why you would take it over the other. i love the keyboard as it is, and you can change the angle to suit you, which i do not believe you can do with the folio. https://store.google.com/product/pixel_c_folio_keyboard

Oh yeah I love the normal keyboard no regrets buying it. As you said, the magnet is awesome how you can angle the screen anywhere you want, works everywhere
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
While it's nice that you can have any angle you want on the non-folio version, I just find it to be inconvenient to use as an actual case. The way that you have to attach and detach it just isn't very conducive to using it that way. If you never really want to use it to cover the screen, I guess it's fine though.
I wouldn't mind picking up the folio version either but alas, it's not in stock on the US site either.
And just when I made up my mind about getting the folio keyboard it goes out of stock in the US :c
Is the keyboard still available in other countries for you guys? (I think Canada might still have it, possibly?)
Still out of stock...bummer

hi guys.
i appologise if this has already been done but i'm female and blonde and always nedd idiots guide to do things. soon i'm getting a x10 second hand. can't wait. played with it and loved it. the only thing i'm not keen on is the text imput of qwerty keyboard. i prefer the bog standard phone one. have seen the htc_ime.apk download but was told by carphone warehouse this would not work due to theoftware. to be honest i'd rather take the advise of you guys as you know more about what your doing. my phone is unlocked but prob not rooted and don't want to root it as more likely to stuff it up with being blonde asnd all.can anyone help me as want to be prepared for when it arrives early next week.
thanks look forward to your help and advice.
Firstly congratualtions on being blonde and female lol.
http://beta.swype.com/
Sign up for this and pray they re release it because its suppose to be the bees knees, unless anyone else knows how to get it?
yes prob something normal people don't admit. thanks. their site is closed but when i sign up they will advise when open again. great will still welcome any other ideas as not only blode and female but now abnormal!!!!!!
I have trouble too. I think they design them for nimble fingered kids. For me the android keypad is awefull, i use the se one which easier. Not to worry, and welcome to the site

totally agree. don't exactly have fat fingers but so use to the old way. had x1 and managed to get the blackstone keypad which was great. but also told by carphone warehouse this would not work. was told there was some kind of text bundle app that had loads of choices of all sorts but can't find that either. thanks this is a great site and will enjoy using it. learning lots already. hopefully will soon be a competent blonde female.
Yes, it is too small for me too. I use HTC keypad and only used to the phone keypad and not Qwerty keypad.

Install the HTC_ime, as the guy at CPW doesn'#t know what he's talking about. Runs perfect on mine.
that's what i thought when he said it. it actually suggests it on a sony website. and great they even have step by step instructions. all a bit premature as still won't have phone til tues, but v v v v excited, can't wait and want to be prepared. thanks.

Personally, i dislike swype and htc_ime keyboards... The one im using it and which i love it is the Swift Key Beta from the market and its free
i love it. perfect for big hands like mine
do give it a try.
but if u still wana use swype here it is the .apk attached
enjoy

I'm giving it a try now. Seems old so far, quick input too. Didn't realise some of these keyboard apps we're also key loggers.
Fast input tho.

Just downloaded it too. Very weird but pretty good. Another addition to my keyboard collection. Thank you.
i see alot about this handsent. its actually a free app on android market but is it any good? seems to do everything bar putting the kettle on.
i personally use the htc keyboard. tried swype and didnt like it. The stock android keyboard is okay, a lot better then SE's version of it.
Hey, when i downloaded the .apk and uploaded it and installed it on my phone using FileManager, i cant see the Swype app anywhere on my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Go to Prefences and then scroll down until you se Search and click that above Search i dont know how its Named in English maybe Local and Text or somthing like that becouse my X10 is English and then you can select Swype then go to a SMS and click on Write and when the Keyboard is showing hold the left Button down named 12 or something like that then a Window opens then select input Method and then Swype. Sorry for my English i am from Austria and i forgot couple Words so i picked Google Translate for the Words that i forgot.
In my opinion, Swype is probably the best when it comes to typing things quick (I've gotten really use to it and I love it!).
...But it does lag once in a while...
PS- Welcome to the site. BTW Blonds are hot... I wish i was blond...
Hi, anyone using TOUCHPAL ?its pretty good too, IMO. There's a chinese kybd version but u can use it to type english perfectly

So after doing the exchange rate the transformer in the uk comes out at 620usd so as im in the usa until the end of may im going to get one here before i leave the usa
Few quick question that im hoping people can answer..
1, does the charger have the usual 110 to 240v sticker on there?
2, if i cant key the keyboard addon over here im guessing the uk version of the keyboard would be the same?
3, can anyone think of any other compatability issues?
Cheers

1. I will answer this when i get home if nobody else has at that point
2. I cant imagine that they would be different, it would make no sense for them to retool the machines to make different tabs for different markets. If you have the language set correctly i dont see why it wouldnt work just fine. Come to think of it, im not even sure they differentiate(sp?) between us and uk english
3. nope, especially if you root when the method becomes available.

There are a few differences between UK and US keyboards, most notably the inclusion of the £ symbol on UK keyboards. I would imagine that these differences would be taken into consideration on the Eee Pads keyboard.
Regards,
Dave
only real problem i see for you OP, is that they've already sold out in the US :/a
Ive got until the end of may so a bit of time to find one
If i dont find one then so be it!
Good point about the keyboard but ill live with that.
Sticker says 100~240v

I checked with Asus Benelux earlier and dock and connection is generic so I can use a US-transformer in a dutch dock. I guess there's no reason why you couldn't with a uk-dock...
So I saw this post this morning on Engadget and it looks to be pretty awesome for the tablet world. But when i go to the market my TF is not compatible with this app. Nothing states in that post that it wont work, just says tablets running Android 2.X/3.X. Anyone able to download the apk from somewhere else??? I would really like to have this keyboard for typing on my TF!!! Thanks
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/14/swiftkey-x-virtual-keyboard-launches-for-android-tablets-we-go/
I'm guessing SwiftKey forgot to tick the Transformer if they restricted the devices, no other reason as far as I know.
Hope they resolve it soon.
I have it running on mine but I downloaded it from the beta program site. The last version is smooth as butter.
"Update on tablet compatibility: We've worked out why Android Market says Xoom, Tab10.1 is incompatible with SK Tablet X - we're fixing now."
Swiftkey wrote that on twitter a few minutes ago, so hopefully its just a market issue.
Sweet, i hope it's a simple fix!!!!

Really? I just restarted my Transformer to make sure. I cannot find it in the android market unless I use the browser to go to the Swiftkey site and then link to the market. When I try to install it says "App not found".
yI just got it as well. Had to get it through the markets website.

If you use the market from the website, you choose what device you wish to install it on. The it then automatically gets pushed to the selected device
I couldnt find it through the app store via my TF but i went to android market on the PC and found it. I bought it and i was able to see it in my apps on the TF where i was able to install it.
Also worth noting, and it is on sale for $1.99 for to first 48 hours. I'm typing on it now and it seems better than thumb keyboard. Way more accurate

If you have the Swiftkey VIP access you could download the APK of the beta. It expires on July 20th. I went to the VIP site and downloaded the beta and loved it. So I purchased the app on the market.
You could always buy it and get a refund within 15 minutes.
Go it, tried it, and eh.. Prediction is nice but the comfort, customization, and overall size and tweaks and stuff are MUCH better with Tablet Keyboard.

+1 it makes me love the tablet even more.
I still dont see it in the market place???
I use it on my Droid X and it feels great! But I'm using Thumb now on my TF and it's good... but I want to tray Swift to see if it's as good.
Also, does the TF support haptic feedback? Does it have the vibrating motor? I want it to vibrate when I type, it makes it so much easier!
Thanks!
I think the thing to bear in mind is that it brings up a spell check box when using the Transformer keyboard. That makes it unique and indispensable.

Buy it from there and install it onto your TF101 via the website.
And no, it doesn't have haptic feedback. The phone version does, this makes me wonder if its related to Honeycomb or hardware.
I prefer having it off anyways. It uses more battery when its enabled.
For everybody else, if you're going to buy this.. buy it now, it's returning to $4.99 after today.
What's in this version:
Improved compatibility with custom DPIs and larger phones
Fix Quick Period not sticking bug
Learn from SMS only shown on relevant devices
Only show haptic feedback option on relevant devices

That was in the latest update. hmmm.
Is it just me or has better keyboard disappeared off the market? I had to reflash generic UK and root/go back up to 2.3.3, but when I restored with Titanium Backup, I got the unlocker for Better Keyboard but not the app itself.
Now I'm stuck in an odd position where I can't find it on the market for whatever reason. Can anyone else check their market and see if they can see Better Keyboard?
I cant find it either, just a lot of other better keyboard add ons there. Might be worth emailing the dev and asking about it, if not see if there is a back up apk somewhere
Found it, I assume the dev changed name:
Better Keyboard 8
Here's the old link Old Better Keyboard 8

I really like Ultra keyboard, does so much and is so customisable but needs a bit of an update - also you have to disable it to use the dpad/touch pads which is very annoying, I love swype and I love swiftkey, I just want them to merge together that would be the best keyboard!

I have Ultra currently, I like it I just haven't worked out how to add a smiley key to it, and it mucks up my colons (puctuation mark - not bodily organ ) every time I try to do one. It is good though.
On a related note, I must be the only person on Earth who doesn't enjoy Swype/Swiftkey at all! Everyone seems to rave about it, yet I can't stand it!
Bit of an update guys, apparently the Developer account was pulled for some dodgy skins in Open Home. They're not going to deal with Google again, but the apps should become available on Amazon App Store soon!

Sorry to summon gost of the past, but someone knows what happen with this keyboard?
I used all time but recentlt I plaing with roms and want instal it again.
Or maybe someone knows good keyboard with chunky buttons most of them got small and my big fingers always pushes wrong ones.
Thanks
Sorry to revive a year-old thread, but seeing as people who search for better keyboard will see this thread on google, the viable option for those still wanting to use it is to either install the Amazon store or find the better keyboard APK. Both can be found with a google search. "Better Keyboard APK" "Amazon app store APK" For those who dont know what an APK File is (Making this new-droid user friendly) you copy the APK file onto your device and select it with a file manager to install it.

Yes I saw this however, I was reading up on Amazon and it seems like the devices will need to get a software update for this to work.
Can someone please confirm?
I am based in the UK and may be able to source this from the UK, however not sure when my software update will come through.
Will I not be able to use this at all without the update?

I have been waiting for over 2 years for this. The few things I want to do
1. Watch movies and TV in bed. There is a side by side android player that you can play videos with.. you can do that for local files on the mobile or you can use ES file explorer to browse to network files and play with that player.
2. I ordered a Kula Deeper kickstarter lens adapter so I can take 3d picture with my DSLR, want to use this for that purpose.
3. With the headset on, check out augmented reality. Switch the camera on and walk around with it turned on with overlaying data (think terminator)
4. Show off.
Gaming isnt really me.. I plan to use it for only the above stuff.
