Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation
and numbers when you need to enter text.
Virtual QWERTY Keyboard
Your phone uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry. Use
the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and other
characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the
keyboard by touching any text entry field.
The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the
screen. By default, when you rotate the phone, the screen
orientation updates to display the keyboard at the bottom of the
screen.
Text Input Methods
Your phone offers two text input methods:
• Android keyboard: The Android keyboard is a virtual QWERTY
keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen.
Android keyboard includes predictive text, which matches your key
touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter it
into your text.
• Google Pinyin: Google Pinyin is a Chinese character keyboard.
• Korean keyboard: The Korean keyboard allows you to type Korean
language characters.
• Swype: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter
words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting
your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction,
which matches your key touches to common words.
Changing the Input Method
When entering text, you can select the text input method.
ᮣ Touch and hold on a text input field, tap Input method, then
select an input method:
• Android keyboard
• Google Pinyin
• Korean keyboard
• Swype
Entering Text Using Swype
Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide
to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.
The following example shows how to enter the word “This”. Put
your finger down on the “T”, and without lifting, glide it to the
“h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.
