hey there,
Yesterday I've updated my UNBRANDED SGS2 (NON-ROOT/STOCK ROM) to ICS 4.0.3 over kies. Since then I have a problem with the swype keyboard.
Almost Everytime I enter a app (whatsapp, sms ...) or just the memo and want to write sth, swype switches between the NUMBLOCK & the normal keyboard of swype. For this time THE HOLE phone doesn't react when touching it.
After few seconds: Over the notification bar I can switch to samsung keyboard, then i'm back to homescreen!!
when I reEnter the app to write, its all gone and swype/samsung keaboards work propertly.
Is there somebody with the same problem? Or just can give me an advice ?
PS: ONLY for last resort I'll do a hardreset & reinstall ICS with the hole apps.....
I hope for answers & any kind of help !!
best regards from Berlin, Germany to the hole community
Hi Alex, I found this site and your post after searching the same problem. Unfortunately I can't offer any help but I thought I would let you know you are not alone with this. Fingers crossed someone on here can give us advice.
Hey,
i have the same problem with the stock-ics-rom on my S2. I have only one possibility for you til now. But therefore you need root. If your phone is rooted, then uninstall swype with Titanium Backup, AppMonster or something like this. After that load new swype on the homepage of "swype beta" (ask google^^) and install it.
Until now it works fine.
greetings,

What you could try is downloading the beta version of skype and install it on your SII.
Maybe that will work and I can tell you that the beta versions are better then the stock versions due regular updates and the possibility to download differtent languages to your swype.
Link: http://beta.swype.com/
dont want to wipe, than as post above said.....
root use root uninstaller / or root explorer remove swype.
now go register on beta.swype.com and install that.

yep...you're right! I Did overlook this message on the beta swype
How will this work?
Easy! Register with an email address accessible via your mobile device and receive a link to download Swype. If your phone came pre-installed with Swype DO NOT download this beta (it won't work).

probably similar problem here
Hello,
I have experienced a similar problem after updating to ICS (LPQ, then LPS; my i9100 is unbranded, no root, stock roms all the time).
What solved the problem, was to set the Background process limit in the Developer Options (4 processes). Since I have set this, the problem did not occur and it was a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I set the limit back to standard just to make sure and the problem occurred again.
Anyway, I don't know if it works for you, but it is worth giving a try.
Same issue
Hi there,
I have the exact same issue. After upgrading to 4.0.3 my swype is buggin out.
- I've deleted swype with root rights
- Installed Swype demo via the website
- Cleared Dalvik cache
- Changed the background process limit in the Developer Options to 4 processes
Nothing helped?! Can somebody please help me with this?
hey there,
thx for the answers.
i didn't do anything till now (only to kill some times all of the background processes), but the problem isn't anymore!
@peze01:
hmm, all of the answers are logical to me. maybe you have to try (the last chance) and to do a hard/soft reset ?
I've not got the same problem as you, but swipe somehow today used 56% of my battery, and discharged it in 2 hours !

I have the same problem. I installed ICS and have done a factory reset/wipe cache and the problem persists. At one point it even came up with a swype error about the package not being for my resolution (this is a stock unrooted S2). Some times Swype seems to be in a tight loop even when not being used and the OS monitor app has it continuously using about 46% of my CPU. I usually spot this when the phone seems to get hot for no reason. Restarting the phone seems to be the only way to fix it otherwise it rapidly drains the battery.
Hi there!
I've got exactly the same problem with the Swype Keyboard and ICS (using MIUI v4).
Which Version of Swype are you running ?
same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem as alex2787 and it's driving me crazy! Can't find a fix anywhere, Have hard reset, cleared cache, the works, but problem persists and using slideIT, which is not doing it for me at all and the Greek dictionary is awful.
Swype version: 3.26.92.38235
Firmware: 4.0.3 Vodafone UK variant
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks,
Digital909

Thanks for the info - can I ask is your device rooted or did you do this on an unrooted device?

Have to be rooted, then make a backup using Titanium Backup Root and a uninstall.
On Swype website make account and follow instructions from mail
First time i did it I missed language download and only had Spanish and English (so read instructions)
Second time everything was fine both Dragon and update works.
Don't know whats going to happen next time I flash a firmware ... fear that Swype from firmware will break Swype Beta ... anybody have experience with this?
The problem seems to have gone away for the moment. Since the last time I did the swap between the Samsung IME and Swype keyboard to get around this it hasn't reoccurred, similar to alex2787. I don't think its fixed by any long shot.
My current setup is :-
Swype Version: 3.26.92.38235
Samsung Galaxy S2: GTI9100
Android Version: 4.0.3 (ICS)
Baseband Version: I9100XXLPR
Build Number: IML74K.XWLP3
Kernel Version: [email protected] #3
Stock O2 UK Firmware Non-Rooted
I have exact the same problem even since updating (with Kies) to ICS (4.0.3) on an unbranded/non-root S2:
Occasionally when using Swype it is switching between numlock and normal keyboard. Need to change to Samsung Keyboard and restart app to make it work.
Also, I've noticed that Swype sometimes uses an unusual amount of battery, draining the phone.
What I tried:
* Factory data reset -> Didn't help at all.
* Revert back to GB with Odin -> afterwards couldn't startup phone properly, so:
* Reinstalled ICS with Odin -> Swype didn't work at all (gave the message "Unfortunately Swype stopped working")
* Clicked on all options containing 'wipe' in the recovery/download menu -> Swype worked again, but original problem still occured
* Rooted the phone, so I could delete Swype (with Titanium Backup) and install Swype beta.
Still after all this the original problem hasn't been solved!
It's driving me crazy. I haven't had any reason before to use Odin or to root my phone or anything.
Hi, I tried uninstalling YouTube app via TB and now I cannot turn the phone on. The words "Samsung Galaxy SII" appear and then the screen goes black - can't do anything else. Is there any way out besides Odin?

You need to do more information: ROM version (if you have an 4.0.3 or 2.3.x you can do a safe wipe), if you want to recover information or clean mobile,etc.
Well, I'm Resurrection ROM user, v3.0.1 version. Anyway, I chose the Odin way as I couldn't get the phone to work any other way. Everything seems to be fine now. I would like to uninstall YT app though since this one is bugged. Any hints how to do this using TB?
Hello,
I've been using my SGS2 for few months and I never was able to use Samsung Apps. Whenever I try to download something nothing happens. In fact there is a quick flash with some message, but it's so fast that I'm unable to read it. Today I upgraded my phone to latest branded orange LPH rom (ICS 4.0.4) and Samsung Apps is still not working. I thought that maybe I need to login to Samsung Apps, but when I try to do so I get following error:
View attachment 1323737
What's that application manager? Any ideas how to make Samsung Apps working on my phone? I prefer to omit full wipe if possible.

Goto to settings - about , Samsung account
Ps: I'm not sure about the steps,because the last time i fully used stock ROM was March but you will find it (Samsung Account) somewhere in settings.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi,
This is my first post on xda-developers. You guys are doing a great work. I am a newbie when it comes to android so I would really appreciate if you guys consider than in your replies.
I have a Galaxy S2 international version and I installed official ICS by directly updating the phone from settings using wifi/carrier network to download. First two downloads worked fine (240s MB & less than 20 MB). 3rd update file downloaded successfully (it was 100-150 MB). I installed it and it gave some error during installation about some file missing on SD card. But it completed successfully anyhow
Now the phone works fine except these two problems I found so far
1- Some kind of system information on home screen which wont go away and appears over any wallpaper I choose (screenshot attached)
2- Swipe/patter unlock etc don't work even when I choose them in settings. Phone just unlocks when I press the power button.
Now I know this might have been caused by a corrupt download but please tell me some steps to solve this problem. I want to do this without rooting the device and want to install only an official ROM. Also is there a way to recover it without having to backup everything and resetting the phone ?
Thanks

Hi there, guys! Yesterday I upgraded the rom on my Galaxy I9305 FROM 4.3 to 4.4.4 KitKat with Odin on my laptop, after that I rooted it also with Odin. The 4.3 was release for Orange operator and now it is German 4.4.4 if it matters. So after the root and starting the phone a message appeared supersu cannot start or so, which is normal, so I've entered in Google play and tried to update supersu', but it only give me an option to open it, but when I do it crashes with the same message. Tried to install it manually from the phone memory, but without success, it tries to instal, but then it shows that the app is not installed. The app supersu is in the device/system folder anyway and cannot be deleted ( I tried with hard reset). So I've tried to reroot the phone with odin, but none of my laptops recognizes the phone anymore, it charges, but that's all a message that the hardware cannot be regnized appears. I have another Galaxy S3, that connects easly with all my laptops so I'm guessing that the supersu app is involved. And YES I tried to reinstal the drivers and Samsung kies. I've rooted LG, Sony and my other Glaxy s3 which is i9300 enough times to know how to doit again, but never had that kind of a problem. I hope that someone here can help me. Thank you!
There was that one thing that I didn't try, that did the job finally: I Installed the supersu app but this time from the system/app folder, after that it tried to disable knox but without success, so I have rebooted the phone, but then supersu app was unable to start again, so I installed it one more time ( it works only if I install it from system/app folder) and this time disabled knox successfully.After that the connection with my laptop was piece of cake. That's all, this thread can be locked!
