Do a search on google, I am using the 1.60.36.8214 version...Its very stable and doesn't have many of the issues that the beta had.

Send this guy an email and he'll get it to you. I'm purposely messing up the email address here - you fix it. @gmail.com: [email protected]
I was going to try it too. Was a little disappointed it did not come with the phone. Let us know how it works for you.
You can sign up for the beta on the swype website. I've found that it's actually a bit buggy with the stock htc messages app. it has issues with auto spacing and capitalization. Because of this I'm using the handcent sms app and would recommend you do the same at least until the problem is addressed because it's quite annoying.

The Swype for the EVO works perfectly on my Thunderbolt. Forget where I got it from but if you search for it, it shouldn't be too hard to find. I've heard it works much better than the beta version.

Edit: out of curiosity, would the swype from the GB leak work or does that fall into the "ukb has special swype" column?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It happened to me running Comm Rom 2.0. It was still an issue after applying the 2.1 patch.
Update: I fixed the issue by following these instructions to install the latest beta version. Though, it's not the same version (3.x instead of 2.x). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128986
Happened to me at exactly 12:00 AM...
I got the same on Com Rom 2.0 with a themed version of Swype (from v2.75 Steel Blue). Putting Swype 3.0 did solve the problem.
Fascinate users are legally allowed to have Swype obviously, according to http://www.xda-developers.com/android/official-stance-from-swype-inc-regarding-its-distribution/, however the Swype version must be the same that was pre-installed (stock). I'm guessing a lot of the current ROMs are putting in newer versions of Swype, causing these license disagreements.
Thanks guys I did end up putting swype 3.0 on and I thought we were allowed to have it but someone cleared that up too.Thank you

I downloaded flext9 from Amazon when it was the free app of the day a little while ago. Finally have an excuse to try it out. I kind of like it, to be honest.
All I did was delete swype using titanium backup and downloaded beta by going to swype.com
Working fine now and I think I like this version better

That's what I did too. After uninstalling in titanium backup you have to REBOOT. 3.x rocks. It's more accurate and also has words above the keyboard

Use titanium to uninstall the swype included stock, then use the beta installer.

The regular typing on the beta is night and day better than the default swype on the 3vo. The default one is horrendous at regular typing and predictions

You can also use Root Explorer, go into /system, search Swype and delete the two files that come up. That was the only way I was able to get Swype Installer to work.

Never having done this before I just want to be sure I understand... On my Rooted 3D, use Titanium to "Un-Install" and then load the Swype-Installer.apk on the SD card and install it like any other .apk?
Thanks in advance.
rob.boehm said:
If you would still like to try to uninstall Swype on a production devices you will need to delete or rename /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so before installing the Beta. I will stress that this is NOT SUPPORTED in anyway. Some firmware has other framework customizations by the carrier that will cause further complications if these files are removed. If you try to uninstall Swype from a production device and break it the only advice we can give you is to seek instructions on how to reload your device with the stock rom.

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.
http : / /w ww. cootek.com /
<remove the spaces>
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.

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.

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!
