Better Keyboard App HELP PLEASE!! (Droid Eris User)

[nnj00]

I just paid for the Better Keyboard App but I'm still using the default keyboard. I went to menu/settings/locale & I selected the Better Keyboard option but I'm still using the old one. What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to find a keyboard that's bigger than the default & I paid for this one and i'm not sure if i'm using it or not!

Better Keyboard is similar to the Sense Keyboard.  It may have more options as far as how it is set up but my understanding is there isn't a whole lot of difference between them.

How do I "Activate" the keyboard once the app is installed on my phone??

I am not sure but I believe you can long press on a text box and it will ask you input method and after you click on that it will show your options.  Or you can go into menu, settings, language and Keyboard and then select which keyboard you want to use.

Thanks a bunch!! It worked!

Like you said, it's not much different from the default keyboard in size (except for the option to have fun skins) but I guess I'll wait for another app to come out! Thnks again!!
