Sorry for an ignorant question...
I have 1.6 and installed swype, I enabled it in the settings, but when the keyboard comes up, it seems to be the default Dell one becasue I cannot "swype"...what am I missing...??
you gotta hold the text box area and wait for a dialog to pop up. then select input methods and then swype.
i find swype kinda hard to use because of the keyboard size. but its always good to have.

Thanks, Duuhhh....knew it was something easy.
You are right, the swype kb is huuuuge...was much nicer on my Vibrant.
I just wish you could dynamicaly select text on the fly by moving the cursor by touch like the iPhone...
Have you tried ultra keyboard yet? It will do tracing and a whole lot More!
Its also supports skins and can resize the keys as well.

I've been accustoming myself to Ultra Keyboard after using Swype the last few months and wanting "smaller" keys on the keyboard when using the Streak.
I do find the themes so far a bit uninspiring compared to the look of Swype, but haven't been able to find anything better than the Ultra Keyboard author's own themes ... not that it's a particularly big deal or anything.
having said that, i found 'adwone' and a 'pre' theme by searching directly in the market for 'better keyboard' - both of which i quite like.

The thing I dislike when using keyboards other than stock keyboard (1.6) is that you need to type in a separate window whereas the stock keyboard can input the typed text directly. For example, I can type URL directly in browser and get suggestions on recently visited areas.

What about SlideIT? I found SlideIT quite good, the keys are really big. Is this Swype better than SlideIT?
Hi all,
I have to say only just getting a new Streak again after having been without one for a month and using a Galaxy S instead i much prefer Swype on the Streak with its larger keyboard. I am just so much faster and more accurate on the Streak now I'm not sure if maybe i have a different version to the one some of you are using. As i was lucky enough to get into the Beta when they last opened it up and i don't have an apk for it I just get a link to the Swype site and it downloads a Swype installer and then Swype straight to the Streak but i still think Swype is the best input method by a long way.

Hey, can anyone help me. I've just followed that linked and install that file yet cant find swype on my phone.

Make sure Swype is enabled in the settings then keep pressing on a text input and you will get a pop up about input method then just choose swype
Actually I've manage to solve the problem. Thanks for your fast reply.

Hi all,
I received an E-Mail from Swype yesterday with news that the previous Beta was about to expire and a link to download the new version unfortunately it doesn't come as an .apk so its not possible to share it. Instead you have to sign into your account and then it sends you an installer and installs directly on your Streak i haven't been able to really notice any differences as yet but if i do I'll report what i find.
Marc
@OP,
If it is a closed beta, you cannot get it by legal means other than by being invited to be part of such testing. Any other means of getting this software represent warez and it is a violation of XDA rules. Asking for, or providing warez is not allowed on XDA grounds. Let this be your first and final warning.

Swiftkey Tablet Beta is now available to Swiftkey VIP members. If you're not a VIP member, go register why you still can. It works pretty well and I'm sure its much better on atleast a 7" device.
Head over to http://www.swiftkey.net and take a look.
Nice find. As long as it gets Greek support I would happily pay for it.
Trial version (smartphone version) is amazing. Must have for those that there is support for their native language.
I like its looks, too bad the split keyboard is too small to use effectively on the streak...but normal mode works well. If only I could change the color to green...
Nice find i like the look of this

If you're like me, you want Swype when your in portrait and the moto keyboard when your in landscape. This helpful app does that for you.

Give Hacker's Keyboard a try. First of all it's free, and totally customizable. Only keyboard installed on my X2.
I was running Swype in portrait and GB in landscape, but recently GO Keyboard became my top choice for landscape. I like it.
Since this thread has started this has been one of my favorite apps
Im having problems with the links, it keeps taking me to a dnsse search or something. Not sure why! is Hacker's app on the market? Same with the keyboard manager?

I've been on swiftkey x since I found it when it was in beta. Haven't bothered with anything else since I found it. And once it went official I bought it without hesitation.

Not exactly wrong section... It is an app - therefore I have a right to be here!
And swiftkey x... I have never actually purchased anything. I usually find an apk lying around for anything. I'll look into it I guess.
Wrong section? This is the app section isn't it. Don't you download those from the "APP" market? I guess I'm confused. I'm going to go check a few of those out. I've been using swype and it's annoying.
SwiftKey X is my favorite keyboard so far. The predictions are spot on since it pulls info from your sms, twitter, facebook, gmail, etc. The new Swype beta is nice as well.

This is the htc keyboard with prediction. It installs like an apk. Make sure to read the whole post though. On the market side, the gingerbread keyboard has always texted my messages. If you want some cool features though, check out Go Keyboard. You can theme it, customize it, and has gesture support.
This is what I was looking for! thank youuuuu
and apparently, it doesnt work anymore.
thumb keyboard is the best i have every used. better keyboard is good, as well as itap and iphone keyboard (both iphone keyboard clones)

Perfect keyboard is the best IMO

+1 on that. has best options (tons of settings and stuff you can do) has nice themes, and GREAT multi-touch support. for people who text really fast this keyboard is great
FlexT9 is decent.
Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
I'll admit I haven't tried them all...But that's because I tried Thumb and feel absolutely no need to go to anything else. While it would be nice to have a keyboard I can custom theme myself (really though, I can do that with some basic knowledge of apk's and such), this keyboard has the best themes stock/to download IMO. And it functions perfectly with TONS of settings.
Costs money in the market, but well worth it.

+1 also for this. i just tried this out today and it was very precise at key-press. love the split layout when u type with two hands.
The latest version of Swype is the best out right now. Swiftkey X if you're into word prediction.

Same issue here on any ICS ROM. After searching the Swype forums, there are ALOT of people in this boat. From my reading, it only has this issue on ICS. To paraphrase Nuance's / Swype's response: "The OEMs and carriers are our customers, not you, so get over it. We'll fix it when we feel like it."
Hey ppl. I dont know weather I'm gonna help you with this.
I suggest you use Touch Pal keyboard. Its super fast than Swype and accurate. Its my favorite keyboard. As soon as i flash new ROMs, the first thing i download is TouchPal. Check there demos at the below site.

They use something called Touchpal Curve, Which is much easier than Swype. Which predicts loooooong words really fast.

I find that TouchPal is far less accurate than Swype, plus has some sort of glitterly line instead of just a plain jane line when swyping. Thanks, but no thanks.

You know there is a "trace" keyboard option under language and keyboard in ICS.
Swype HTC Style, just as good.

I know that is an option, but after using it for a while, I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. It's auto word selection is not as good (actually, it's pretty horrible). For example, every time I typed good, the trace keyboard would put god, no matter how many times I fixed it. Swype learns and so the auto selection is uncannily accurate with Swype (almost psychic).
Also, if the auto selection gets it wrong with Swype and I am past the word, I can go back and click the word and it still offers suggestions. The built in one only offers selections for the current word so if I found a mistake, I would have to retype the whole word.
To me, the built in HTC one is a poor man's Swype.

For a while, I thought it was my phone that was having issues, but I happened upon the issue noted in the link below. Also, see attached screenshot for sample of the issue. Tested Swype with stock browser and it works fine.
I use Swype as my primary keyboard and have gotten so used to it that I can't imagine using anything else at this time.

I use Swype all the time as well as chrome on my note, and I don't have this problem. I'm using a custom ics ROM black star currently, but even with other ics roms, still haven't had this problem in the URL bar. It has happened to me in the captcha input box on this page though on the second word...
Are you using the version of Swype includes with the build or the latest beta from their website?
I'm using the newest beta and don't have this issue.
Incidentally, the new beta can be loaded alongside the pre-installed version now.
I use SwiftKey and whenever I type on chrome it works fine the first word or two then it starts duplicating the same word over and over again until I close out of the keyboard and reopen it. It drives me crazy!

Happens to me too sometimes. It thinks you're still Swyping. It hadn't happened for awhile but it might have been in chrome now that you mention it.

I've also noticed much more consistent next word prediction and it automatically saved new words for you. Also knows makes from your contacts and it can connect to Facebook and Twitter for the same thing.
I have this problem on my sony xperia s
Same problem here as well. Stock Rogers ICS.
I actually don't use the actual swype feature, as I just like the keyboard for the ability to long press keys to get punctuation, and symbols. Swyping in a text box does help fix the problem for me though!
