Wow...appreciate your responses!
More than agree, Touchpal seems the best for Chinese yet English input, especially the features! But, It Quite Heavy, causes a lot of Slow Factor even hang for seconds! (You Agree?)

Google Chinese Input, fantastic in term of light enough! But, features just not so awesome. It seems only showing suggestion words during TEXTING or FBing... but not Google Search or search bar. Something wrong with my setting?

Which vesion you are using? the HTC version one? Or the regular version one? If you haven't used the HTC version, go try it first. It's definitely better & faster than the regular version. As a matter of fact, I am using it since months ago. it never slow down and it never hanged.

Oh? So HTC's version is different to the downloaded version?

yes. The features are still the same, but faster and smoother.

You uninstall/disable your current touchpal, go here to download the HTC version.

trust me. it's much better than the other touchpal versions. thumbup.gif

Max, just checked! I'm using this version, yup it's fast and stable but the features not as good as touchpal as I've mentioned before. Don't you agree? Like no suggestion words when keying in Google Search...URL...etc

Oh I see. Ya. There's pros and cons for each other. I thought you want the speed, but I guess you are not satisfied with the features. haha.

I think those most popular ones already being mentioned above.

Google Pinyin Input
Touchpal
Swiftkey
Baidu
Just go with the one you feel comfortable with. As for me, I want the speed, fast typing speed. So I choose Touchpal. Features are less important to me. laugh.gif

Haha.
Eh... in fact, what you shared with us, the link was heading to Google Chinese Input woh... not Touchpal... right?

Well, I don't trust those reviews in Playstore. Some of them could be just trolling. Since it's free afterall, then no harm to try it. You can uninstall it if you find it isn't suit your need. icon_idea.gif

Google Pinyin Input

It is simple to use, able to choose your desired layout and remains same user interface as the AOSP keyboard.

Agree, I love it too! In fact, as you can see from the attachment, there was no suggestion words during google, but it does while I'm inputting now ! Strange !
Btw, I'm using Google Chinese Input.
