I'm having a weird issue where swype changes the language input to espanol automatically. It only happens sometimes. Anyone else experiencing this? if not, where do I sign up to learn espanish??
As far as I know, this cannot be changed.

Had the same issue. The Swype 3.0 beta is much better than what is on this build.
Ha, I have the same issue. I keep thinking the globe button is the @ button and press it by accident all the time.
no way to install 3.0 huh?
This has been driving me crazy. Thanks. And NO THANKS to Swype for putting that button there.

You and many others. It is not quite as bad as the old "hidden word" popup you couldn't disable, but it's close.
I mean honestly, do you REALLY need a quick toggle for that!?!? And beyond that, you can't do away with it? Somebody was not thinking.
1) Root
2) Wifi Tether
3) TB UNINSTALL THIS VERSION OF SWYPE
my wife hit the button the second day and almost broke her phone because it was typing in Spanish and she couldn't figure out why.

Swype has always frustrated me, when you need to move forwards and backwards much in a text field, it is difficult to do with your finger and I could not find anything to help in swype.
All I had to do was hit the bottom left swype button and then slide to the symbol key right next to it. BAM, there it is. It's probably most helpful for copy and paste and some other situations where you just can't move the cursor with your finger.
Just an fyi, and also wondering if this was already common knowledge?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I wouldn't call it common knowledge, but it's been known for a while. I found out about it in a tips and tricks thread somewhere.
Also, try the same thing, but slide to "f" instead of "sym" to pull up a number pad

Are there more shortcuts?
-swype key then symbol key
-swype key then f
...more?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
also, in 2.2, in text entry fields, if you tap the field a movable cursor shows up that you can slide left and right.
A lot of tips like these are in the General Sticky....
that said, I do not know if its a shortcut, but I love going from the apostrophe to "s".... I can type words like "what" and then with that gesture quickly make is "what's"
also, if "bump" from one letter to the next it helps swype identify the letter you are really going for (ie, you go across a row and there could be a few correct letters).
I take it that none of you had ever done the tutorial with swype on your phone...

Swype > F is the only one from this thread that is not on there.. and that is not all that much needed from using the other number pad.
Swype -> q switches it to AZERTY. It doesn't switch it back. Pretty useless.
These Swype shortcuts are all on the Swype website lol

To switch back, press and hold the top-left button (where Q used to be) and choose U.S. English. If you've picked Korean by accident, press and hold where the A button was to switch back to English.

Ok Getting tired of this.. I Hate HTC keyboard, but I love Gingerbreads.. However I hate the Fact that when I text someone or type its looks like this :
hello.this.is.a.test to. see what.happens
The Perioid is in the way or the spacebar needs to be bigger I cant decide? Anyone else have this issue?
I Tried using swype but I dont have the Patients for it. Its a great concept just not for me? Any Solutions out there?
Is there anyway to get the OG Droids soft keyboard layout on the Tbolt?
I don't know what's wrong with your keyboard but I'm typing this on gingerbread keyboard and its working fine. I don't have any issues with it. I have also used Swype but for some reason, lately it doesn't seem to figure out what I'm trying to swype so I switched to this keyboard and have been quite happy.

Download the gingerbread keyboard from the market. That's what I finally had to do. I had the same issues. Just the way I use the keyboard i guess.

I'm the same way. The only respite I've found is from using other keyboards from the market. Just look around and try some different ones, and find out which works best for you.
I found that if I make the settings key always hide and move the mic key to the symbols page it makes the spacebar a bit longer and easier to hit w/o touching the period. might be worth a shot for you guys.

You also might want to try out swiftkey, as I haven't had any issues with it. It is leaps and bounds better than the stock keyboard.
is there a way to change the "done" button to "send" like in the regular froyo keyboard? annoying to have to press the "done" button and select "send" in the next screen.
UPDATE: Noticed this only happens in landscape mode. Regular view shows "send" key and "attachment key". what gives? is this a flaw in the app?

Nothing beats Swiftkey. Most ingenious keyboard around and works as well as advertised. I just don't like that sometimes it lags as it pulls predictions from my history. Maybe because I have so many SMS?
The trick with the mic and settings key (set to always hide) worked! Thanks. I like the GB keyboard for a change of pace.

This. And I hid the voice and settings buttons to make the spacebar bigger. But I am using swiftkey, its better in my opinion. The prediction engine is excellent and saves me from typing at all.
I noticed a couple of days ago that my Swype keyboard is no longer a QWERTY layout. A handful of letters have now moved to different locations and I have no idea why. Anyone else noticed this behavior? I haven't flashed anything and I don't remember seeing any Swype updates over the past week. Strange...

Did you accidentally hit the language button? I had it put me into some weird what I assume was british keyboard with an odd layout. I could be wrong though. I gave up swype in favour of touch pal

It didn't, it is very easy to accidently hit this button and if the keyboard layout is similar it's easy not to notice until you proof read.

Yeah, but other languages have to be enabled in the settings for that button to work and I had only English enabled to prevent it.

Sorry for reopening this thread, but it was the only thing I've found which is similar to my problem. On my Epic 4G Touch, the Swype layout sometimes changes... the most obvious difference to me is that the spacebar has a no-smoking symbol on it which isn't otherwise there. Very strange! I don't think this is a language issue. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Ask in your phone's section. Also, list what ROM and kernel you're using, any recent changes...etc.

if you are in the browser or some similar app, Swype defaults to no auto space between words. This is what the "no smoking" on spacebar means. Of course you can still rap spacebar to insert a space.

Thanks karth500, this did occur last night when I was in a browser, I hadn't figured out when it was happening. There is also a line through the microphone key and you can't use speech input, I guess this is normal for this mode?
The damn word suggestion bar. I love that it's there. I hate that it appears and disappears. I type the last word of my text, then after a second or less, the auto suggestion box disappears. So? So every damn time I go to hit send, it moves as I'm about to do so and I end up hitting add attachment instead.
I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Is there a setting I'm missing or some way I can fix this?
I have the same problem, hit attach all the time. I turned off auto-insert-auto-suggest (not sure what they really call it) long ago, I'm considering turning off auto-suggest entirely which should make that bar go away. The downside of course is it often has the correct word I need when I realize I've made a mistake. Lately I've just been forcing myself to wait a second before trying to hit send.
What really sucks is the fact that Swype is actually completely broken on the Note. You can't Swype fast at all on it.

Definitely DO NOT have this problem. lol Maybe broke on your note?
Same problem here.
I would also like to find a way to remove some of the buttons in the bottom row and make the space bar larger.
I am always inserting periods instead of spaces. My.sentences.look.like.this.
The EN (english) and comma buttons are unneeded on the main screen. Swype button and voice can be combined.
Alot of people on here use thumb keyboard. I tried it and it's pretty good. I prefer the swiftkey x tablet but just cuz that's my preference. Check them out if you are not liking swype.

Pretty sure it's broke for every Note. Just Swype back and forth super fast and see if you get a bunch of random little words. Was confirmed by the devs and they said it's not a priority right now to fix.
My Note is fine.
after installing the apk from the international note section, swype is properly sized and does not have any strange issues. I still dislike the layout however.
I tried to register for Swype forums but was not able to log in.
Im always hitting the insert button.
Can you share the spook from the Swype that you are talking about

Thanks. Used this for a while but had to go back to Swype. I liked having Google voice input back instead of Dragon but I found the punctuation input to be frustrating. Now only if there was a way to use Google voice input with Swype typing I would be happy. I also like that Swype has some cool features like swiping for cut and paste etc.

Finally Google puts out an official solution. The others seemed to lag to a point no matter what.
If Google would put a comma key somewhere on the main keyboard I'd use it. Until then...

You go into the settings and make it put the mic on the symbols keyboard - bam, the comma is on the main keyboard. I had a Nexus for a long time, I had the same gripe. But just do what I said and your problem is solved.
