Swype beta problems on rezound - HTC Rezound

anybody else had problems with Swype beta on rezound? It can't keep up with how fast I Swype. Bionic and ThunderBolt don't have a problem. Any idea how to fix it's very annoying. I can Swype very very slow and it will recognize it but any speed it just throws letters like crazy really need help!!

Omg swype update just came out!
OMG Downloaded!
Oomg, DOESN"T fix the problem.
At all.
Thanks, Swype. I would Pay good money for a Swype keyboard that works. This is wildly disappointing. Get with it, and fix Swype. Lots of 720p users will be around soon. You need to fix it.

New beta! lol.

I, as well as many others, don't have any problems with it.

Occasionally mine will act as if I lifted my finger and started a new word messing things up. However that doesn't happen very often.
My new problem is I flashed a new ROM that is based on ICS. When I re -run the installer it still tries pushing a Gingerbread version of Swype on the phone. At least I assume it is when the version is 3.6.XXX for the Swype apk.
Speaking of Swype can anyone say "Worlds Longest Beat"...lol.

The problem doesn't happen for ANYone who doesn't swype fast.
But it's happened with me on every Rezound I've played with on every working version of Swype.
I swype faster than most people full-keyboard type.
I've just resolved to Swyping slower. your Rezound will do it too, trust me.

If you have installed the update, I do believe it fixed the choppiness across the middle of the screen. I am not for sure though, but I know they did add support for higher resolution screens and ICS. My experience after one day has been very good as far as the choppiness is concerned. It seems as if I no longer have to worry about swyping fast and it screwing up.

I was having the same problem when I first installed it - but it seems to have 'fixed' itself as I have a full screen keyboard now...
Before
After

This what one of the Swype devs on their board says in regard to the word splitting problem which he thinks is caused by refresh rates and polling:
We make polling adjustments for problems like this on production builds that we distribute to our OEM partners; however unfortunately it is not in the scope of the beta test to resolve these issues on devices they may crop up on. It may work in a later build, but I can't guarantee it, sorry. :-(

[VIDEO] Google Currents App for Android on the HP Touchpad Tablet

Google Currents is the new big thing from Google. It allows you to view your favorite news and media pages in a magazine style format. This runs great on Android tablets, especially the HP Touchpad! Check it out:
On the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.currents
Saw this on Android Central, and grabbed it right away.
Ill be honest, I've been kinda neglecting my TP lately. After loading Currents and getting it set up, I didn't want to put it down.
This feels like exactly what the tablets were meant for.
Go Google!

Seems like some people are having issues, while others are not. Be sure to post which ROM or build version you are running so we might be able to get a handle on this.

I'm on XRON B1.3 but moved to that from Alpha3 to see if it'd fix the problem I was having given that there have been some fixes in XRON since the latest core CM7. In both cases Currents locks up for me until I get the "Not responding. Wait/Force Close/Report" dialog. I can wait as many times as I want, but it doesn't come back. If I FC then it restarts Currents but it happens again shortly after browsing around.
I think I've seen the same behavior in Google Reader which I have installed to support the Android Pro Google Reader widget, though not nearly as frequently.
I've performed a completely clean reinstall (wipe system and data in addition to cache), and I've done the whole fix permissions and wipe Dalvik/cache partition thing repeatedly.
I'm really impressed by Currents (I also run it on my iPhone and Nook Color) and think it really makes the 10" tablet profile shine! I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why it's locking up frequently on the TP.
I had the force closing problems in alpha 3 but after I switched to alpha 2 everything seems to be working fine.

using cm7 a3 and i'm getting a lot of force closes recently. it seems to be sporadic since i didn't get them at until the other day. i'm patient with the force closes since i'm really just waiting for ICS.
I'm currently using alpha 2.1 and have not had a force close on this app yet.
seems to work perfectly for me
I'm getting FCs on Currents constantly to the point where its almost unuseable. I was alpha 2, in place upgrade to alpha 3. Everything else seems stable.

Uninstalling the one I had on here worked, but this one seems no taller than the 3.26 I had already. Its still 1/2 inch shorter than my Smart Keyboard I've been using. Does this one appear taller on a ROM?

The one that popped up in my ICS ROM was truly miniature. This made it the "regular" size.

I tried it as well, and I saw no change in size though the size has always for me been okay. I let it "update" after I played with a bit and the update also looked the same as well.
No difference to me.
my swype has always worked no matter what ICS ROM's I've run - wonder what the underlying problem is
When I've gotten the small keyboard, I just rotate to landscape and back and it fills the screen.
It took me about an hour to go from stock routed GB to CleanROM 4.0. It was well worth it! As for the issue with Swype, I turned the accuracy all the way up and it hasn't happened since.
great work! I'm so glad to have swype back. Thank you so much

Yeah, it's friggen BS.
I'm willing to personally put $100 toward a bounty to fix this.
One of the Swype reps said that it seems to be because of the refresh rate of the Rezound screen, and how Swype deals with it. But since it's not a specialized - for - our - phone build of Swype, that they probably won't spend any time trying to fix it, since our phone is the only one with the problem.
It'll be interesting to see if ONE X has this same issue, and if they address it.
I'm so tired of swype having a touch-break in the middle. I - NO JOKE - almost bought a T-bolt instead of a Rezound once I discovered the bug.
I swype VERY FAST and A LOT and it SERIOUSLY hampers my ability to use this phone. I can't stand it, and it literally wastes minutes of my day, every single day. I'm actually mad about it. It couldn't take more than a couple of hours for Swype to fix, but they don't seem to be interested. I'll pay for a paid version to have it fixed. Or a bounty. I just need it..

I agree on not liking swype at first. But then I got bored and wanted something different so I gave it a shot and I've grown to like it. However when I discovered htc's keyboard has the swype feature swype got used less and less.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
This version of htc's swipe works much better than the original from sense 3. And hell, probably better than swype, which has gone to crap. Plus when you want to type normally, this destroys swype
i always use swype since my dell streak 5, and how stupid im that untill today i even didnt knew htc had swype to on my evo....lol...and its really cool.atleast keys r more bigger thn swype.
you're not alone my friend, even i didnt know we had swype. Infact i still cant seen to find it -_-
I knew my orig stock ROM (sense 3) has this feature, but I've never been able to get it work (turned on trace typing but never seen the yellow trace). Which language you are using?

ICS updated but want Ginerbread back i think

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.

Minor OTA coming?

Curious about this as well. Most people have a hunch it's a radio firmware update, so if anyone sees improved signal/call quality I'd be very interested to know.
User Harold Goldner on Droid-Life had an interesting point.
If you are one of the more than 95% who run stock, it can't hurt. It's too small to be bloatware. My guess is it's an hboot update and a radio fix (and that's purely speculative). The Official ICS update was v. 3.14.605.12 so this is a tiny increment. The Global leak radio/firmware was 2.22.10.0801r, 12.22.10.0803r, so this radio firmware version number is actually lower. For those of us running S-OFF, custom ROMs and the global leaked firmware, probably nothing of interest here. Certainly not worth RUUing back to stock to "check it out."

What doesn't need to be done lol. Stutter scroll, lag, lock screen from an older sense version, messaging app, app drawer lag/stutter, system settings taking way too long to open from the home screen... I'm sure there are more issues "under the surface", keyboard is awful, can't predict it's or It's.
What's funny is most of that is fixed in the sense 4 (and up) roms. But they won't give us sense 4.

Huh, never really noticed those things but I haven't been stock in a long time. My wife's Rezound is stock other than I updated her's to the global RUU and haven't had those troubles with her's either.
HTC, to the best of my knowledge, didn't upgrade any of their phones with an S3 processor to Sense 4+. Having run Sense 4 ROMs, and those are almost always full of tweaks, I can't really say that any improvements were a result of the higher version or the tweaks baked in. In either case, I guess I prefer the overall look and feel of 3.6 and always end up back on Ineff Deus.
To each his own.

That's what I use too. All 7 of the rezound I've had have all done the same things. Stock or not.
I'd be willing to bet, considering their recent deal with Apple and the fact that the DInc2 is also getting a minor update, that it's going to be the removal of the app preferences garbage and maybe some small bug fixes.
Sometimes you have to be smarter than your smartphone.
Anyone see any results from this yet?

Interesting, thank you. If you wouldn't mind reporting on any battery life/signal/call quality changes with the update that would be appreciated.
I'm wondering if this will effect S-off devices and or root. I'm liking the new radios though...
maybe its a prepatch for jellybean

Got the update. Nothing big to note so far. It did cause HTC Sense to become the default launcher again over ADW. It also seemed to break scrolling wallpapers in adw? Had a large wallpaper and adw would slowly scroll through it as I changed screens. Now no matter what I do, it is 1 screen size worth and just black space after it. So as I scroll through screens I get more and more black background. odd.
Does anyone have the real details of what this patch was supposed to do, fix, or prepare for?

The building I work in is partially underground and I have spotty 3G service and I noticed today that it seems to be better now. I received my update during lunch so no real experience with improved battery life.

it's 4.2.2 right?
...right?
Anyone manage to snag the URL from the OTA so that we can rip the new radios out?
Edit: You can also check your /cache or /temp folders for the files.
