Same issue here on any ICS ROM. After searching the Swype forums, there are ALOT of people in this boat. From my reading, it only has this issue on ICS. To paraphrase Nuance's / Swype's response: "The OEMs and carriers are our customers, not you, so get over it. We'll fix it when we feel like it."
Hey ppl. I dont know weather I'm gonna help you with this.
I suggest you use Touch Pal keyboard. Its super fast than Swype and accurate. Its my favorite keyboard. As soon as i flash new ROMs, the first thing i download is TouchPal. Check there demos at the below site.

They use something called Touchpal Curve, Which is much easier than Swype. Which predicts loooooong words really fast.

I find that TouchPal is far less accurate than Swype, plus has some sort of glitterly line instead of just a plain jane line when swyping. Thanks, but no thanks.

You can turn that off in settings.
I'd recommend uninstalling, then cleaning cache, then trying to install swype beta (which supports ICS):

Tried that and it did not work. What worked for me was installing the Swype Beta installer, then installed the Swype apk located here:

The keyboard installed and I was able to update it to the latest and am using Swype on ICS happily.

You know there is a "trace" keyboard option under language and keyboard in ICS.
Swype HTC Style, just as good.

I know that is an option, but after using it for a while, I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. It's auto word selection is not as good (actually, it's pretty horrible). For example, every time I typed good, the trace keyboard would put god, no matter how many times I fixed it. Swype learns and so the auto selection is uncannily accurate with Swype (almost psychic).
Also, if the auto selection gets it wrong with Swype and I am past the word, I can go back and click the word and it still offers suggestions. The built in one only offers selections for the current word so if I found a mistake, I would have to retype the whole word.
To me, the built in HTC one is a poor man's Swype.

Sorry for an ignorant question...
I have 1.6 and installed swype, I enabled it in the settings, but when the keyboard comes up, it seems to be the default Dell one becasue I cannot "swype"...what am I missing...??
you gotta hold the text box area and wait for a dialog to pop up. then select input methods and then swype.
i find swype kinda hard to use because of the keyboard size. but its always good to have.

Its also supports skins and can resize the keys as well.

I've been accustoming myself to Ultra Keyboard after using Swype the last few months and wanting "smaller" keys on the keyboard when using the Streak.
I do find the themes so far a bit uninspiring compared to the look of Swype, but haven't been able to find anything better than the Ultra Keyboard author's own themes ... not that it's a particularly big deal or anything.
having said that, i found 'adwone' and a 'pre' theme by searching directly in the market for 'better keyboard' - both of which i quite like.

The thing I dislike when using keyboards other than stock keyboard (1.6) is that you need to type in a separate window whereas the stock keyboard can input the typed text directly. For example, I can type URL directly in browser and get suggestions on recently visited areas.

What about SlideIT? I found SlideIT quite good, the keys are really big. Is this Swype better than SlideIT?
Hi all,
I have to say only just getting a new Streak again after having been without one for a month and using a Galaxy S instead i much prefer Swype on the Streak with its larger keyboard. I am just so much faster and more accurate on the Streak now I'm not sure if maybe i have a different version to the one some of you are using. As i was lucky enough to get into the Beta when they last opened it up and i don't have an apk for it I just get a link to the Swype site and it downloads a Swype installer and then Swype straight to the Streak but i still think Swype is the best input method by a long way.

Make sure Swype is enabled in the settings then keep pressing on a text input and you will get a pop up about input method then just choose swype

Hi all,
I received an E-Mail from Swype yesterday with news that the previous Beta was about to expire and a link to download the new version unfortunately it doesn't come as an .apk so its not possible to share it. Instead you have to sign into your account and then it sends you an installer and installs directly on your Streak i haven't been able to really notice any differences as yet but if i do I'll report what i find.
Marc
@OP,
If it is a closed beta, you cannot get it by legal means other than by being invited to be part of such testing. Any other means of getting this software represent warez and it is a violation of XDA rules. Asking for, or providing warez is not allowed on XDA grounds. Let this be your first and final warning.

Just installed the Prerealse of Sype 3.25 and it seems to work a lot better on the Photon then 3 that was always force closing on me. Also on this version you can finally remove words from your personal dictorany in the settings menu. No more highlighting word the pressing swyp key.
How you do it? The updated installer won't recognize that I want to update it lol

There is also another file. I install whatever one you want, in this case 3.25. Reboot then as it is force closing go into keyboards and disable it. Then go into manage applications and uninstall swype. Then reinstall it with the installer. Done deal
The problem is there is one more file besides the lib/apk. I don't know what/where it is, this is just how I do it, works for me perfectly. No need to rename anything.
So to recap,
delete swype apk.
install 3.25 using the installer
reboot and disable swype (stops the FC's)
go to manage applications under settings>applications, then uninstall swype (not swype installer, just Swype)
reinstall Swype with the installer again.

Anyone try out the latest beta with dragon dictation? How much better could it actually be? Anyway, would love your thoughts..happy holidays!
http://beta.swype.com/
I quite like the new version - I don't know about the version before it, but the dragon dictation works well and is quite nice, and it's a definite upgrade over the version that comes with our phone by default. A simple backup / deletion of the original APK with Titanium Backup is all you need to do to install the Beta off their website.
Yeah..i don't think ill get it since my current Swype is themed. Just curious how the dictation worked.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Just updated was unaware there was a newer version on the beta available. So I manually updated will play around with the dragon stuff for a while to try it out.
It's not better I actually hate it it's smaller than the stock one and the auto correction sometimes gets annoying

I just did that few days ago. New beta SWYPE is probably a hundred times more accurate/pretty than the stock one that comes with the phone. Haven't tried too much of Dragon dictation but still definitely worth getting it.
I did it twice actually since I just flashed SHOstock ROM.
The first time i followed these directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20893638
The second time I just used titanium backup and it worked just as well with no issues.
Good luck.
I haven't had any problems with it. I don't use the dragon feature, but I did test it and it works.
I manually removed the APK the first time, but like the previous poster said, TB also works.
The .so file was versioned, so I left it on there (it won't be used by a newer version anyway, since that will have its own).
Just select Swype in TB and select "Uninstall".
Then install the Swype installer and go from there.
Just keep in mind you'll have to do that anytime you flash a stock ROM that has it included.
If you flash a ROM with integrated swype, without wiping data, swype will crash when you try to use it.
Just go back into TB, uninstall the system version (you'll see two in the list), then select the beta version and "Wipe Data" and that'll fix it.
Thanks for the help guys! In fact I'm writing this post with my new Swype!

Dragon
I used dragon dictation in my car on my way back from work and i was so happy with it. I sent 8 texts and only made 3 errors. Its on par with google's speech to text. It uses very little data too...i only have 200 mb so i have to be careful with stuff like that.
I'm loving the Swype Beta w/Dragon. I use Unnamed 2.2.1 and had no probs at all deleting the old skype with root explorer and downloading the installer. Dragon dictation works great and swype's accuracy seems much better. A+ all around!
For a while, I thought it was my phone that was having issues, but I happened upon the issue noted in the link below. Also, see attached screenshot for sample of the issue. Tested Swype with stock browser and it works fine.
I use Swype as my primary keyboard and have gotten so used to it that I can't imagine using anything else at this time.

I use Swype all the time as well as chrome on my note, and I don't have this problem. I'm using a custom ics ROM black star currently, but even with other ics roms, still haven't had this problem in the URL bar. It has happened to me in the captcha input box on this page though on the second word...
Are you using the version of Swype includes with the build or the latest beta from their website?
I'm using the newest beta and don't have this issue.
Incidentally, the new beta can be loaded alongside the pre-installed version now.
I use SwiftKey and whenever I type on chrome it works fine the first word or two then it starts duplicating the same word over and over again until I close out of the keyboard and reopen it. It drives me crazy!
