I like swiftkey, but I have a lot of problems with it when I try to use it online (cursor will skip around, freeze on FB, etc)

Interesting, so browser & facebook issues?

I haven't re-installed Swype since I rooted my phone, but it was really buggy after the jump to JB. Cursor jumping around in every browser, auto capitalizing every word in Dolphin Browser, etc.

Did you have issues before updating the OS?

o yea, i've had it even on my Droid X

Like if I try to upload something to my Facebook, like check in place, I can't space, or if i'm typing on a forum, sometimes the cursor will skip to the beginning

one thing I noticed, it's called Swiftkey X on my app, and I noticed this is 3, but it's the same app isn't it?

Yes, so if I quote a post, I'll be posting in the quoted part before I realize it lol

The cursor skipping doesn't happen all the time but my Facebook issue does


ok weird, now when I go into the swiftkey settings, I can't click on anything, I click on like theme or advanced, but nothing happens, fffuu..maybe since I got it when it was free way back on my Droid X I should delete it and just buy it as Swiftkey3

SwiftKey 3 - 1.99
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50b3VjaHR5cGUuc3dpZnRrZXkiXQ..

Best predictive keyboard on Android, plus they added Swype functionality recently. The skins for the keyboard are a nice touch as well. (edit: are skins not available for JB?)

SwiftKey is great... the ONLY time i have issues with it is when i try to use the predictive text while posted on here in Chrome or any other internet browsers. It will randomly insert the predicted text at random spots in the message

Does it show in the play store as "purchased" or "installed" SwiftKey X that is? Can always go the uninstall reinstall route

installed, well when I click on Swiftkey X is redirects me to Swiftkey 3, which shows installed



well, I uninstalled it, now I can't reinstall it without buying it, shit :lol:

I just realized I got it through Amazon, so that's why I think I never updated it, cause I had to go through them and not google play

Doh... thats the crappy thing about Android... the fragmented markets... honestly.. its worth the money on sale... I use it on my phone and both my tablets... the split keyboard on the tablet is outstanding.

Airdroid

If you want to use a external SD card with airdroid follow this method. (post by Octavia_bln)
1. Go to "Files" icon on Airdroid desktop
2. Open the "System" foder (discard the warning)
3. Look out for "mnt" folder
4. Open "mnt" folder and within should be a folder named after your external sd card, open the folder and you can access all files within your external SD
5. After proceeding so, Airdroid recognized my external sd and at the next new connection to my device it offers me under the files window the folders SD card , External SD , System
6. So after going through step 1-4 you have direkt access via file icon

I finally rooted my SGS3 (AT&T) and ditched Touchwiz for CM 10.0. It's so nice to be free of all the bloat (apps and gestures) that came with T-wiz.
