Swype came installed on my phone, so it's all I really know as far as keyboards goes. It's always worked, but not sure what happened, but when I press the microphone it says "Unfortunately Swype has stopped working" and only option is to hit OK and it closes.
Any ideas what to do?
When this happens to me, I navigate to Settings - Apps - All (scroll to the right) - find Swype. Scroll down and click clear data.

Thanks! That partially solved my problem. While the microphone button works now, clearing the data made Swype look totally different and I can't find a way to get it to look like it did. Is there a spot for themes or something somewhere? I would like it to appear as it did when I bought my phone.
There's a settings icon on the keyboard.. when I go in there it brings up "HTC Sense Input Settings". Maybe it's not using Swype? Not sure how to get it back on. If I go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, I can find Swype settings. It says it's using Classic theme.

Go back to where you found that Swype was using classic theme and tap it. This will take you to where you can change your theme.

It's set as classic. I tried to change it to Silver then back to Classic no luck. The keyboard doesn't even look like any of the themes shown, so I'm guessing it's not using Swype. Not sure how to get it back.
Lemme reboot the phone and see what happens.
Not working.. it definitely is a different keyboard.. because I can't "swype" to type words.. just not sure how to get Swype to come back as default for everything.

Ok..... Open up a text message and get to the point where your HTC keyboard Pops up. From there, swipe down from the top of your screen where it shows what applications you have running. You should see "Choose input method." Tap on that and you should be able to change input method to Swype.

I love you long time. I'll keep both of these in my mental file. Solved.

Tried that, it still does it.
Ive downloaded Dolphin HD

Ah, so I'm not the only one having this problem...
Picked up a new Incredible S over the weekend (my old Desire died on me ...). I just starting having this same problem yesterday and initially thought my Swype installation screwed something up. Odd that it only seems to affects the Google home page. For instance, if you're on the news.google.com page and type in the search box, all is fine...
I also tried using Dolphin browser but had the same problem.
Problem with Cirian75's solution is then you lose the benefit of viewing mobile formatted pages...
I think google has done something recently to its search page and its not the phones.
Same thing, and appeared only today and only on mobile Google search page. Browser thinks that's a password form and fills the input text with points. There's also no option to type in other than english.

so we agree, we think google has messed up the code on the mobile search page
Nothings wrong with the phones suddenly, its google mobile search page thats gone tits up.
Same problem, and it only started happening yesterday, Google must have done something

Seems to have been fixed today. Working fine with both swype and stock keyboard. Didn't change anything on my phone.

long press in a text box, select 'input method" and switch back to the original keyboard, then select input method again and switch back to swype.
Yup. All's working fine now. Weird...
I might be the only one that thinks the button is worthless, but if anyone would like to remap it to the camera let me know and I'll write up the instructions on how to change it.
This will disable the option to switch between 2D and 3D when looking at pictures or in the middle of games but if your like me I dont have time to play games or mess with 3D pictures, and yes that makes the phone no different that any of the others but I just like the phone it's self.
steps
1. Download Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
3. Top of app select mount R/W
4. long click on omap-keypad.kl till menu pops up
5. select open in text editor
6. scroll all the way to the bottom to key 249
7. Edit 3D_HOT_KEY to CAMERA
8. Back out of text editor and select mount R/O in top of app
9. Back out of Root Explorer
10.Reboot
This will now map the 3D button to open the camera insted of something you may never use.
Go back to stock.
1. Navigate back to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Mount R/W
3. Only do this if you have the omap-keypad.kl.bak this is a backup of the original file
4. Delete the modified omap-keypad.kl
5. Rename omap-keypad.kl.bak to omap-keypad.kl
6. Back out and restart.
There you go.

Im interested!
Cool, I may do this, I didn't know it actually turned 3d on / off while in a 3D picture or in the camera.
I hate it when I accidentally hit it.
Might be a dumb question but it just disables the ability to suddenly turn on the 3D in the middle of something but doesn't actually disable the 3D capabilities? If so, I'm very interested.
The remap works. How ever when I changed it back to 3D_HOT_KEY the 3D key does nothing.

silly question, but did you reboot

Instead of making it open the camera could it be programmed to act as a shutter button for the camera to take pictures?
No it doesn't disable 3D just changes what the button does.

It makes my four bottom buttons light up as if it's registering that something is supposed to happen. But nothing happens. Strange. I looked back and the text still says CAMERA.
I don't know if this makes a difference or not but under the qwerty.kl it says 3D_HOT_KEY is still at key 249. The ompa-keypad.kl and the omap-keyboard.kl.bak show key 249 as a camera.
When I set it to camera it worked, It took a second to launch after reboot. But what's strange is when I set it back and rebooted. I get nothing. Just the navigation keyslight up but no 3D app. I don't wanna reset my device just to get the button working again with the 3D.

I installed this app called "SamsungKeyboardShortDelay" from Xposed Installer, and when I rebooted the shortcuts on the Samsung Keyboard dissappeard. I have the At&t N3, rooted via Kingo. The only other app I have is Wanam Xposed. I removed the app and rebooted, and the shortcuts did not come back. I then went into application manager>Samsung Keyboard and cleared the data/cache, rebooted and no luck. I then as a last resort did a factory data reset and they still didn't come back. I don't know what else to do. Please help.

Im talking about the keyboard shortcuts, when you do a long press on a letter it gives you a shortcut to a symbol. View attachment 2561709It's supposed to look like the first picture, but instead it looks like the second.

I didn't have the shortcuts on my standard Samsung keyboard on my Note3. However I got them installing the XPOSED mod "Samsung Alt Symbols"
It works fine for my phone.
Thanks!! Seriously man, I've been trying to get them back for over a month now. That did the trick.
Man thx for this so happy to have them back.

Ok I have changed in settings keyboard and language to swype but it keeps reverting back to the google keyboard I prefer Swype but cannot get it to stick any one have any suggestions??
Go into a text input field in any app so that the keyboard comes up. Next, swipe down the notification bar and in the list you should have an item that says "choose input method". Tap on that and change your keyboard. See if that sticks.

Go into the settings for Language and Input.
There's an area to specify which of your keyboards should be the default one.
Select Swype there and you're golden.
Thanks guys it still reverts back though
I use an app called SwiftKey which seems quite a bit more accurate compared to Google Swype and it does your dictionary in the cloud if you ever change phones.
