hi this is david from phonebook comm and today i'll be doing a video on how to switch out your keyboard i just downloaded the Gingerbread keyboard from the market and i'm gonna show you guys how to actually activate this guy 30 hit the HOME key alright you can see that I just installed it and what you want to do is you're going to hit menu and then settings and from the settings menu let me zoom in for you guys to see you're going to look for something along the lines of language or keyboard depending on your model phone it's going to be different but something similar to that are close enough to that should I say so you can see there's a two keyboard options really there's a gingerbread keyboard and the touch input this is HTC Sensation so that's the sense keyboard which is currently activated you can tell by if I hit search can see it alright anyway I want to activate the Gingerbread keyboard so the way I'm going to do that is hit that checkmark hit OK and what you'll notice is though a lot of people run into this they'll think that that will do it they'll hit something and pop up the keyboard and will notice the same old keyboard comes up so what are you supposed to do at this point what you have to do is long press so find that empty text field so at the very top the empty text field won't press and hold and you can see that little pop up and as the pop is gonna look therefore on your phone this is sense so it shows up like that on other phones is a little rectangle or a box that shows up in the middle of the screen so anyway you can hit input method and you can see it's on touch input which is the sense keyboard I'm just going to hit Gingerbread and voila you've got the Gingerbread keyboard up and running and this works with any keyboard and if you want to switch it same idea you're going to be able to actually do it from right from here instead of having to go through the settings you just say input method touch input and there you go the reason why I went to the settings first is for the ginger wiki where you had the first activator for some reason alright but that's pretty much it this is David phonebook comm don't forget to visit phonebook comm for more cellphone news reviews and how to's thank you
