How to Take Swipe Off of an LG Optimus
The LG Optimus is an Android smartphone with a touc screen. This device has no hardware keyboard and instead uses a software keyboard on-screen. Using the touch sensitive display to input text can be very similar to using a standard keyboard, but this phone comes with an input method called Swype, which makes it quite different. Rather than tapping the buttons, you slide your finger around the keyboard only lifting your finger between words. For some users, this method allows for faster input, for others it's a pain. If you aren't a fan of Swype, you can permanently disable it.
