hmm thats odd
i doubt this is the problem but under text input do you have prediction and word completion checked?
EDIT: lol that was the problem, prediction needs to be enabled
I've enable prediction and turned the trace keyboard on and off a few times, but I still can't get trace to work.
Working fine here

Did you try it in a text message? I noticed that when I attempt to trace in a something like market, for instance, the trace doesn't work, but it did while I was texting.
It does have swype installed as well, but I can't stand swype personally. Luckily Amazon App store had Flex9 (shapewriter) for free so I use that. Pecking at keys is so tiresome and "swyping" is much much better, almost faster than physical keyboards.

Same for me here. For texts, the tracing works but for some other fields, it's hunt and peck only.

I've been using it too, but I did notice that after a reboot or on occasion that it won't swype unless you switch to another keyboard first, type something, and then switch back.

Same thing here. But, it's working 98% of the time. I have been using it as my main soft keyboard and it's been solid enough to keep going.

All you need to do is uncheck swype, press home, go back to keyboard settings and enable swype. Then it works. No need to type with another keyboard.

Slightly quicker: In text box just change input method to any other keyboard then change right back to Swype. Don't have to leave the text box.

The full version of Swype works perfect and better than the beta. It can be found for free if you know where to look

i have also noticed that the swipe doesnt work 100% of the time also it doesnt work with all aplications
If you go to the keyboard settings you can turn on tracing on the stock htc keyboard. You can choose the trace colors as well.
ps, didnt see this posted anywhere else. if it was, my bad, least its not in the dev section ;p
whoa, you would think they would have mentioned this.
swype was being crappy for me, and shapewriter doesnt fill up the whole screen.
nice find!
Swype wasn't working well for me, this is.
oh wow!. good find!
This was introduced on the Sensation, and I look forward to having it as an option.

Ya not having the arrows is a problem when texting. Because if I need to type a word that doesnt exist in the dictionary but I dont want to add it Im sort of out of luck, since I can't select the other word.

Arrows are disgusting lol the gingerbread text selector is wayyyyyyyy better. Also does anyone else get "lol" in all caps when they type it? I do and i always have to press the lowercase version which is getting annoying LOL.
Get the < > you just press the "12#" then "1/2". You would think since we have a longer screen we would have plenty of room for the arrow keys. If we ever get root we can try some of the other keyboards and possibly get it to work.

settings-language & keyboard-touch input-text input-calibration tool. You can also turn on the swype-like feature of the htc keyboard. It seems to work pretty good and you can still punch away as normal if you don't want to slide.

You don't have to hit the space bar with Swype. Just swype the next word.
And I'm actually surprised at how many people missed the arrows. I used to see everyone complaining about them and using the HTC-IME Mod. Personally, I use Smart Keyboard Pro with the HTC skin, and it's perfect for me. You can also enable arrows that are just like the ones on the HTC keyboard if you want.

If you're using swype, you shouldn't need to be hitting the spacebar. It does that automatically for you, unless you're tapping on letters - and swype 2 SUCKS at tapping.
Swype 3, different story - it's WAY better than swype 2.
But no root, no swype 3 beta
For everyone wondering how to calibrated it. Go to settings, keyboard, touch input, text input, and at the bottom It's called Calibration Tool

Trace keyboard works only in select situations. For example, it will not work when entering a browser address or on search, but will work in messages. Try it there?

intelinside83 was referring to the lack of a number row on the stock Android 4.2 keyboard. The stock Samsung keyboard is quite different, including the inclusion of the number row.

This really is quite silly of Samsung. The keyboard has auto prediction and in my experience the auto prediction works quite well. The problem is that the keyboard will only input what you actually type regardless of whether or not it's correct. If you want to enter a predicted word you have to tap it yourself. I can't imagine it would be too difficult for Samsung to change the keyboard to favor the top predicted word, which would essentially be auto correct.
I'm still using the Samsung keyboard though because I'm getting along with the Swiftkey flow integration rather nicely.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually really happy for the number row since I use numbers frequently and it was a pain having to constantly toggle it on/off. And, that auto-correction is disabled as I usually disable it any. Just had to turn off auto-spacing and auto-capitalization because it was wreaking havoc on authenticating into web sites like this one as it was adding a space in-between my password. Good riddance I say...

It is reported that upcoming 4.1.2 (not 4.2) enhancements will include integrated "swyping" functionality into the keyboard so it wouldnt make sense for them not to rectify the autocorrection issue.

Did the stock Sammy JB keyboard in the GS3 have no autocorrect either? Or does that phone still run ICS?
I might just have to switch to Swiftkey or Thumb Keyboard again - but that number row is GREAT - it is hard to turn away from it.
Yeah I went back to the stock samsung keyboard just cuz of the numbers... silly but I'm loving it! Just hooing for auto-correction. Maybe if they dont fix it someone will come out with a 3rd party with numbers!
Tappin from my Marble White Note II
Yup, no autocorrect. I'm using Swiftkey now.
It seems the Samsung keyboard is actually a variation of the swiftkey flow. I wonder if it's something to do with that. The flow part works pretty well and I love the number row
