Entering Text Using the Android
Keyboard
When you activate a field where you can enter text,
numbers, symbols, etc., you can either use the
onscreen keyboard or QWERTY keyboard.
There are two versions of the onscreen keyboard
available on your Epic 4G: the
Android keyboard , which
emulates a standard QWERTY keyboard, and
Swype
(default input method), which uses a unique gliding
method to let you enter whole words quickly. This
section primarily covers the Android keyboard method.
Onscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait
or Landscape orientations. The Landscape orientation
provides more space and results in slightly bigger
onscreen keys. If you find that you prefer to enter text
via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use
this orientation.
(To use the onscreen keyboard in landscape mode,
you will need to set your device to automatically
change orientation when rotated. See “Changing the
Screen Orientation” on page 70.)
