Is anyone else totally annoyed with the Swype cursor mover covering the W when the keyboard opens? You can't use it until the damn thing goes away. Usually only takes 3-4seconds but it's still annoying. Anyone know how to make it not come up at keyboard open?
If you hit the backspace button it goes away but yeah it is annoying. That's one of the few reasons why I don't use swype any more.

Well hitting backspace makes it somewhat more tollerable. Never knew that would make it go away faster. Thanks!

I can't see what you are talking about at all. I'm using UnNamed, so that may have something to do with it, but you just can't use the letter W for a few seconds? Interesting...

When using Swype as your keyboard, when the keyboard originally pops up, it has a blue trapezoid shape that you use to move the cursor around. Where it sits is covering the W. So if I want to start with any word that starts with W, I have to wait a few seconds for it to disappear and is annoying.

Are you using the current beta version? (3.26.92D.37604.t0.7207.ENSP) I just checked out this issue cause I had it before with the older version of the beta, and it seems to be gone.

You can go to http://beta.swype.com/ to sign up.
Before you install you will have to use Titanium Backup to uninstall the current version of Swype (you can make a backup if you would like)
After you sign up you should get an email that says ur in with a link to download swype installer.
*edit* Also make sure in Settings>Applications that Unknown Sources is Checked that way you can download and install the installer. *edit*

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

I have an issue with the gingerbread keyboard on Checkrom V4. Whenever I'm typing, if I press the "I" key it will insert the last full word I typed about 3/4 of the time. Sometimes I can delete the word and type an "I" ok, sometimes it will keep inserting it over and over. It only does it on CheckROM and only on the gingerbread keyboard I download from the kitchen. Anybody got any ideas why it does this or how to fix it?
TIA.
Edit: Guess I should've mentioned that it only does this when typing I by itself. It works fine if the I is in a word. Also, this is the 3rd time I've used checkrom and had this issue, with cm7, cm9, and several other ROMs flashed in between.
Sooo, any suggestions? I know this isn't a big problem but it is hella annoying.

Has anyone else noticed that while using the Swype keyboard it us not possible to enter numbers in payment fields on the internet?
Example: I go to transfer money from one bank account to another. Where I enter the dollar amount i can not input numbers unless I switch keyboards, but I can put in other characters.
This being said, I am able to enters numbers into other areas with my Swype keyboard "1234567890"...see? It works here, so why not where I'll actually use it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not a problem for me, but i'm on a custom ROM, so browser/android version/swype version is likely different. Are you rooted? Why note install the beta? It's probably more up to date than what you're using.
I uninstalled the version that came with the phone and downloaded the beta. It installed the tablet version of Swype, which had a different configuration and smaller keys in portrait mode.
I tested the issue you described and I don't have it. I can enter numbers fine in Ebay fields. The tablet version automatically switched to a number pad actually.
Yeah, I'm rooted and OCed thanks to DA_G's threads.
I think I'll try out the tablet version. Thanks guys.

Just installed Swype beta but I think the keyboard is a bit too small for me. Any idea on how to get the non-tablet version?
Howdy all. Not sure if this is old news, but I just did a clean install of Swype on Venasaur ROM. It displays at it's full, proper size now!

Thanks for the heads up! Just installed it on my Rezound running CleanROM 4.5 and the keyboard now displays at the proper size.
This is old news for me ever since I got the Rezound in February my Swype has worked just fine as far as how it fits on the screen. Now when I try to swype fast is another story.

Swype hasn't worked on ICS for quite some time for most people unless you had a GB backup.
As far as broken Swypes and fast Swypes are concerned, go into your Swype settings and set speed vs accuracy all the way to the right.
If you're still having problems, what roms are you all using?

Good to know. I'm trying to collect as much data as possible on this. Here's the history as I know it for us/me right now. Please feel free to contribute, everybody, do we can pin down gotten to get Swype functioning properly. Swype version numbers would be helpful too.
Pre-ICS "compatible" version of Swype functions at full size with the occasional bug. (personally tested myself, on GB and ICS Sense 3.6). Speed/accuracy slider fix required.
Post "compatible" version loads as a tiny corner. Rotate trick restores it to 75% sty size. (personally tested myself, ICS Sense 3.6). Speed/accuracy slider fix possibly required.
Current version runs 100% size, Speed/accuracy slider fix not required but helpful (personally tested, ICS Sense 4)

I read this post a couple of days ago and though you were kidding! lol
I just deleted my old Swype and installed the newest beta and it works great on Venasaur 3.2. I had been using the ICS keyboard on Venasaur that has the trace functionality too because of the larger keys, but it's either not as good as Swype or I'm just not used to it yet.
Edit: I've been using the older Swype for so long I thought the smaller keys were just standard for Swype!

I re-installed the GB version I was using, but it still messes up.
I seem to remember we had this problem last year and I had to uninstall the installer, re install it and I even had to log in and have the link for installer sent to me again

Hey guys, so I got my S4 around July 4th and realized the same day I didn't like touchwiz. Got home, rooted and threw Dubbsy's rom on it.. I have been in love with the rom since I got it, never had an issue with gibberish provider name (except once) the lack of LTE bars didnt bother me because it still worked. The only major issue I ever had with it was my recent apps option stopped working. Well I just got the chance to update it to the newest build of the deoxed version and it has fixed the LTE bars and recent apps works again. It is fantastic and I really appreciate all the work you do! The ONLY issue I have is I only have 3 home screen pages. Is this a limitation of the rom, am i missing something simple??? I could use some help here and if it is a limitation of the rom, no big deal I can live with it until a newer version comes out

Dubbsy's ROM is nice and stock, with very few modifications.
If you want more home screens, I highly recommend simply throwing Nova Launcher on there. Grab it in the Market. It looks and performs 99% identically to the stock Nexus home screen, but adds a bit of customization. It's what I'm running on Dubbsy's and I've got no issues whatsoever.
If you still have a copy of one of the older versions of the ROM, pull launcher2.apk out of it's /system/app/ folder. I noticed the same thing and use 5 screens myself.
Once you pull the .apk replace the launcher2.apk in your current /system/app/ with it using a root enabled file manager under rw mode. Like the CM installed on the 4.9 edition or Root Explorer.
Once you've done that go ahead and reboot and you should be good.
At least, that's what I did.

Yea, it only changes the launcher. That's the only apk you would be replacing, and you wouldn't be using a third party substitute, it would be the genuine launcher since you would've pulled it from one of Dubbsy's older builds. I personally pulled it from 4.7.5 test since that's what I had on my sdcard at the time. Works fine.
