for some reason, my friends thunderbolt cant autospace when using swype. i tried reinstalling, restarting, turning autospace off then back on.. holding the space bar doesnt "turn it on" like it does on my nexus one.
he just got the phone yesterday.
any ideas?
i am having the same problem.....sort of. whenever i am doing certain tasks, swype autospaces like normal. it has worked so far with browsing, email, and the htc notepad widget that i can remember. it hasn't worked correctly whenever i write text messages though. anyone have any tips on the fix?
haven't tried with anything else except texting actually. LOL
I'd love to know if there is a fix for this, as it is happening to me too. I was going to shoot swype a message saying so. I assume if they need to fix something we need to tell them it is a problem first. Hence the Beta
It was stated in another post that you need to re-enable another keyboard and then enable swipe again. It worked for me just fine.

I don't have the option to change my keyboard. No swype or anything. (well I have the option of compact qwerty and phone)
re enabled android keyboard then back to swype- still not spacing.. it is driving me nuts
RE
Download Handcent from the Market -- auto spacing on Swype works on there.
well considering its a brand new phone, it should work on a phone that comes with it >_>

I'm using swype beta and handcent and its not working either. The beta, for me, behaves differently from stock swype. The one that came pre installed.

Damn i wish it had a dedicated number row. Way to go, designers.

my thunderbolt didn't come with swype preinstalled
but yeah the autospacing still doesn't work. They sent me an e-mail saying they did all this crazy updates to swype, so i reinstalled with that, and still nothing.

I believe he is using the G2 hence the Sent from my G2. Not sure if this comes pre-installed or not. Think he was just stating he gets the same weird behavior from Swype on the G2.

Must have misunderstood lol. Ya know this being a section about the Thunderbolt and all
I just installed the swype beta on my Thunderbolt and even with auto-spacing turned on in the swype settings in the menu system, when using swype to send messages shows a little red circle w/ line through it on the space bar. I don't know if this has something to do w/ some built in code on the TB? Are the rest of you with this issue showing the same thing? I mean still even having to manually space I seem to be able to type so much faster and I've only been using swype for like 2 days now on my DROID Incredible.
UPDATE:
So is this issue limited only to the built in SMS app? As I seem to have auto-spacing in the other apps I've tried... just not the messages app.

The Thunderbolt didn't come with Swype.
And yes, it's only the stock SMS app that has shown this problem. 3rd party SMS programs, email/Gmail, browser, etc. are all working fine in terms of auto-spacing using Swype.
On the official swype forum a forum mod said that this is because Sense isn't properly designating the messaging apps text input field as auto space/auto caps.

Seems isolated to the native Android SMS app. All other apps I've tried seem to work perfectly.
So when im typing on swype, and I swype a word that came preloaded and is close to one I have added to my user dictionary. I get a big black box pop up and tell me that the word I was trying to type was "hidden" it does this on both atrix's that I've had. Anyone know how to disable this? It is becoming VERY ANNOYING! I've been in the swype settings and can't find anything. Ill try to attach a pic in a few

A new version of swype (not on the atrix by default) has this pop up fixed. I see it fairly often as well and yes it's annoying.

EDIT 2/17/2011: I can now confirm that the Hidden Word notification window has been completely removed from all future versions of Swype. Next beta update is coming soon. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

Mine prompted me that the word 'this' was hidden by the word 'tits' that I added to the dictionary.
Bwahahaaa! That could be baddddd! "get mom shes got to see tits" lol

So can I put this on the atrix now? Our is this something I'm gonna have to wait for with the next OTA update? Sry I just skimmed through the link. Im working
Sent from my MB860
Yes, it requires root and sideloading though. Both are fairly painless now IMO. I'm going to give it a try, never had a reason to update swype until I started seeing these popups.
Has anyone gottent FlexT9 to work with CM9. Specifically the Swype and writing features? The swyping just beeps at me. And when i try to write nothing comes up.
Would love to get this working.
Thanks.

Still completely screwed to hell. Basic functions work, editing letters/words disappear when pressing backspace etc. and the voice works but microphone gain seems to be turned way down
Im using a stock evo lte (not rooted). The swype that comes pre loaded on this phone sucks. It always messes up what word in trying to swype and it constantly stops working mid text forcing me to switch inputs.
Is there a way I can get the swype beta on here? I had it on my OG evo and it was awesome.
Not unless you root. Have you tried Tue speed vs accuracy setting?

Thanks, I actually forgot about that setting. I just put it a little more towards "accuracy". Lets see if that helps.

Mine works fine, never stopped working on my phone.. I did notice it takes a while for it to figure out some words, but now works as good as beta for me...

I am rooted, but had no luck getting Swype beta to load. when running the installer, it says you can't lord it over pee installed version. Tried deleting files using root explorer and could get installer to run, but hung forever on licensing screen.
Would love to hear from someone that has gotten this to work. I agree that the stock version is not anywhere near a good as the beta I had on my evo 4g.

Did you delete all of the files? I remember on the old evo uninstalling it wasn't enough, I had to go into root explorer and delete 2(I think) additional files manually in order to get the beta to install.
I called HTC earlier today and logged the complaint with them. They said their notes get reviewed every week and even HTC in Taiwan reviews them. Hopefully if enough people complain we can get them to include a better version in a future software update.(wishful thinking lol). If someone gets the beta to install, I might just have to root.

I deleted the Swype.apk and even tracked down any file with the word Swype in in it, deleting files in lib and davlik cache as well. Still no joy.
Also tried deleting files thru titanium and restoring from backup, no joy there either. Either I am doing something wrong procedurally or there is a trick I am not smart enough to figure out.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm rooted and I'm also trying to replace the pre-loaded Swype with the Beta (the Beta version has over 50 languages while the pre-loaded version has only two, with no option to add more). I tried using Titanium to uninstall the Swype system app and delete all of the additional Swype files using Root Explorer. No luck. The Swype Installer gives me a "parse error" when I try to download the Beta.
This might push me to try a full root and install a custom rom. I need a version of Swype with an Arabic keyboard (especially since Google inexplicably removed the ability to change input methods by long-pressing in a text field).

A-ha! I found a pretty good workaround. There's a flashable APK of the latest version of the Swype Beta here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l5brukdug885u6u
If you clean out the Swype system app, the flashable apk should install with no problems. Then you can download additional languages or use whatever functionality of Beta that might be missing from the pre-loaded version.
In case nobody was aware, the stock HTC Sense Keyboard has a "trace keyboard" option that behaves like Swype. Works well for me...

Yeah but it's not as good and doesn't support as many languages as Swype Beta does. It's noticeably less accurate than Swype.

Yea thats what I switch to when my swype stops working.I dont like it as much.
Parse error is cause you changed r/w back to r/o too soon. Go into root explorer, go to the correct folder, change to r/w, delete Swype, install through Swype installer, change back to r/o in root explorer. It's so easy to get this working, I did it weeks ago.
Find my post about this from the other week, it has better directions.
Swyped from my eVo
Swype stops working for me when I am tapping the letters vice swyping when entering the letters:
si
It will freeze the phone for a moment, then drops the keyboard. If I attempt to type, it will instantly delete what I am trying to type.
I have to back out of app, and then go back in to type.
This doesn't always happen. Like now, multiple apps and I am able to type all sorts of words that begin with the letters si - but at some point, it will start messing up, and everytime I type si in it was do this odd behaviour.
I can Swype si words no problems.
I was wondering if it was the app thinking I was typing in the Spanish word Si.
shrug
Anyway - it's annoying.

This exact same thing is why I made this thread. It happens way too often. I havent been able to narrow it down to a single instance like you did but I will pay more attention when it happens the next time.
EDIT: It happened once today and I was swyping the word "so". Its similar to yuor problem with "si" except I was swyping and not typing

Can you post a link to your other post? I tried this instruction and got the measure that I cannot install on a phone with Swype pre installed.

Did you do it on an EVO LTE or on your EVO 3D? Please dont post info here that you have not specifically tested on our device. They dont all work the same.
The Sense Keyboard is much better than the Swype that comes with the phone.

I kinda feel dumb cuz I don't know if its actually something in predictive text settings I'm just missing or what. The problem is when I'm typing something in, primarily notice it in browser searching, I'll type words, then space bar, then word, space bar, etc etc. However, about 50% of the time, when I hit the space bar, it just deletes out the word I just typed and inserts another space. Last night I was trying to search "Galaxy S3 tips and tricks" and the whole thing came out "Galaxy S3[space][space][space]. WTF is going on here? Are others experiencing this at all? Its soooooo annoying.
FYI, it doesn't do it at all when typing out text messages so I'm wondering if it is something to do with browser or what. I tried clearing Samsung Keyboard cache and data and it worked for a bit, then started doing it again.
I think its definately keyboard related cuz if I switch and use a different keyboard, the issues disappear

I had this issue using the last version of Swype - Using the latest beta seems to have fixed it though.

I signed up for the beta on the Swype website, but a little confused as to how to really get my hands on the beta. Am I waiting for something to show up in my in-box or am I missing a link somewhere?
I believe you have to wait until the folks at Swype send you an email inviting you to the beta. IIRC it took about three days for mine to arrive when I signed up a year or so ago.
This and the copy paste issue is driving me nuts. How can they have such buggery on the shelves? I won't post off topic (not that I could copy/paste the link to that thread here anyway).
So my only option is beta, some pokey free or costly 3rd party keyboard app? Google tells me that, as these keyboards require internet access, I'm at risk of key logging activity due to the combination of permissions they require.
