Screen QWERTY Keyboards
Touching the keyboard on the screen enters letters,
punctuation, numbers, and other characters into text entry
fields or applications. Access a screen keyboard by touching
any text entry field.
The screen QWERTY keyboards appear at the bottom of the
screen. By default, when you rotate the phone, the screen
orientation updates to keep the keyboard at the bottom of the
screen.
Screen Keyboard Types
Your phone offers two on-screen QWERTY keyboards:
•
Samsung Keypad (default): Use the Samsung Keypad to enter
text by touching keys on the screen. You can also use XT9
predictive text to match the first few letters you type with words in
a dictionary, then you can select a finished word from a list.
•
Swype: Use the Swype keyboard to enter words by gliding your
finger over the on-screen QWERTY keyboard, lifting your finger
between words. You can also touch individual keys or use Swype
Word Prediction or Voice Recognition.
