for some reason, my friends thunderbolt cant autospace when using swype. i tried reinstalling, restarting, turning autospace off then back on.. holding the space bar doesnt "turn it on" like it does on my nexus one.
he just got the phone yesterday.
any ideas?
i am having the same problem.....sort of. whenever i am doing certain tasks, swype autospaces like normal. it has worked so far with browsing, email, and the htc notepad widget that i can remember. it hasn't worked correctly whenever i write text messages though. anyone have any tips on the fix?
haven't tried with anything else except texting actually. LOL
I'd love to know if there is a fix for this, as it is happening to me too. I was going to shoot swype a message saying so. I assume if they need to fix something we need to tell them it is a problem first. Hence the Beta
It was stated in another post that you need to re-enable another keyboard and then enable swipe again. It worked for me just fine.

I don't have the option to change my keyboard. No swype or anything. (well I have the option of compact qwerty and phone)
re enabled android keyboard then back to swype- still not spacing.. it is driving me nuts
RE
Download Handcent from the Market -- auto spacing on Swype works on there.
well considering its a brand new phone, it should work on a phone that comes with it >_>

I'm using swype beta and handcent and its not working either. The beta, for me, behaves differently from stock swype. The one that came pre installed.

Damn i wish it had a dedicated number row. Way to go, designers.

my thunderbolt didn't come with swype preinstalled

I believe he is using the G2 hence the Sent from my G2. Not sure if this comes pre-installed or not. Think he was just stating he gets the same weird behavior from Swype on the G2.

Must have misunderstood lol. Ya know this being a section about the Thunderbolt and all
I just installed the swype beta on my Thunderbolt and even with auto-spacing turned on in the swype settings in the menu system, when using swype to send messages shows a little red circle w/ line through it on the space bar. I don't know if this has something to do w/ some built in code on the TB? Are the rest of you with this issue showing the same thing? I mean still even having to manually space I seem to be able to type so much faster and I've only been using swype for like 2 days now on my DROID Incredible.
UPDATE:
So is this issue limited only to the built in SMS app? As I seem to have auto-spacing in the other apps I've tried... just not the messages app.

The Thunderbolt didn't come with Swype.
And yes, it's only the stock SMS app that has shown this problem. 3rd party SMS programs, email/Gmail, browser, etc. are all working fine in terms of auto-spacing using Swype.
On the official swype forum a forum mod said that this is because Sense isn't properly designating the messaging apps text input field as auto space/auto caps.

Seems isolated to the native Android SMS app. All other apps I've tried seem to work perfectly.
Is anybody else having problems with swype? It works fine but the trace doesn't show up. Also the keyboard shows all caps after I start typing (not swyping) even though it types lowercase letters.
I had the same problem. It went away on its own. This version of swype sux. Can't predict a damn thing correctly

If you change input method to the htc kb and then back to swype it works fine.
I'm really hoping this either gets fixed or we get root soon so I can replace it.
the swype problem is back. i switched to another keyboard then back.... then its working. thanks watzone69
Im using a stock evo lte (not rooted). The swype that comes pre loaded on this phone sucks. It always messes up what word in trying to swype and it constantly stops working mid text forcing me to switch inputs.
Is there a way I can get the swype beta on here? I had it on my OG evo and it was awesome.
Not unless you root. Have you tried Tue speed vs accuracy setting?
sent from my EVO LTE
Thanks, I actually forgot about that setting. I just put it a little more towards "accuracy". Lets see if that helps.

Mine works fine, never stopped working on my phone.. I did notice it takes a while for it to figure out some words, but now works as good as beta for me...

I am rooted, but had no luck getting Swype beta to load. when running the installer, it says you can't lord it over pee installed version. Tried deleting files using root explorer and could get installer to run, but hung forever on licensing screen.
Would love to hear from someone that has gotten this to work. I agree that the stock version is not anywhere near a good as the beta I had on my evo 4g.

Did you delete all of the files? I remember on the old evo uninstalling it wasn't enough, I had to go into root explorer and delete 2(I think) additional files manually in order to get the beta to install.
I called HTC earlier today and logged the complaint with them. They said their notes get reviewed every week and even HTC in Taiwan reviews them. Hopefully if enough people complain we can get them to include a better version in a future software update.(wishful thinking lol). If someone gets the beta to install, I might just have to root.

I deleted the Swype.apk and even tracked down any file with the word Swype in in it, deleting files in lib and davlik cache as well. Still no joy.
Also tried deleting files thru titanium and restoring from backup, no joy there either. Either I am doing something wrong procedurally or there is a trick I am not smart enough to figure out.

I'm rooted and I'm also trying to replace the pre-loaded Swype with the Beta (the Beta version has over 50 languages while the pre-loaded version has only two, with no option to add more). I tried using Titanium to uninstall the Swype system app and delete all of the additional Swype files using Root Explorer. No luck. The Swype Installer gives me a "parse error" when I try to download the Beta.
This might push me to try a full root and install a custom rom. I need a version of Swype with an Arabic keyboard (especially since Google inexplicably removed the ability to change input methods by long-pressing in a text field).

A-ha! I found a pretty good workaround. There's a flashable APK of the latest version of the Swype Beta here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l5brukdug885u6u
If you clean out the Swype system app, the flashable apk should install with no problems. Then you can download additional languages or use whatever functionality of Beta that might be missing from the pre-loaded version.
In case nobody was aware, the stock HTC Sense Keyboard has a "trace keyboard" option that behaves like Swype. Works well for me...

Yeah but it's not as good and doesn't support as many languages as Swype Beta does. It's noticeably less accurate than Swype.

Yea thats what I switch to when my swype stops working.I dont like it as much.
Parse error is cause you changed r/w back to r/o too soon. Go into root explorer, go to the correct folder, change to r/w, delete Swype, install through Swype installer, change back to r/o in root explorer. It's so easy to get this working, I did it weeks ago.
Find my post about this from the other week, it has better directions.
Swyped from my eVo
Swype stops working for me when I am tapping the letters vice swyping when entering the letters:
si
It will freeze the phone for a moment, then drops the keyboard. If I attempt to type, it will instantly delete what I am trying to type.
I have to back out of app, and then go back in to type.
This doesn't always happen. Like now, multiple apps and I am able to type all sorts of words that begin with the letters si - but at some point, it will start messing up, and everytime I type si in it was do this odd behaviour.
I can Swype si words no problems.
I was wondering if it was the app thinking I was typing in the Spanish word Si.
shrug
Anyway - it's annoying.

This exact same thing is why I made this thread. It happens way too often. I havent been able to narrow it down to a single instance like you did but I will pay more attention when it happens the next time.
EDIT: It happened once today and I was swyping the word "so". Its similar to yuor problem with "si" except I was swyping and not typing

Did you do it on an EVO LTE or on your EVO 3D? Please dont post info here that you have not specifically tested on our device. They dont all work the same.
The Sense Keyboard is much better than the Swype that comes with the phone.

I'd highly recommend it. You just need to remove the current version first.
I use it daily, and it's much improved over the stock version, both visually and from a functional standpoint. The voice components are better also.
if you are referring to swype keyboard have it running on my nexus and s2 smooth definitely give it a try.
"There is a problem parsing the package."
WTF?
I used Swype on ICS before I flashed CM9. Found it indispensable. So in answer to the OP's question: go for it.

Thanks, but that didn't work for me...
I ended up cheating... I realized that the wonderful Titanium Backup had saved a version from mid-May that i had on my S1. Just restored that, and seems to be working..... Time will tell...
I still feel like i used to have the option to do 2 "loops" above the keyboard and it would CAPITALIZE every letter in the word, but now that feature doesn't seem to work. Sounds familiar?
I was prompted to update swype this morning. I did so, and now everytime I select swype it closes automatically and I get the android keyboard.
- Swype Beta is checked in Language & Input (android keyboard is selected and grey in this screen)
- Choose Input Method screen. I select "Swype Beta". It flashes to Swype. Then reverts back to Android keyboard immediately
- I have cleared cache, etc. and rebooted the phone. This brought me to the new swype EULA and activation process. Which I did successfully. I rechecked all settings.
- I have since uninstalled. Reinstalled. Reactivated. Selected. Rebooted. Etc. Nothing.
Still nothing but silence from Swype about this set of issues that are spreading like wildfire across multiple Android forums I am a member of.
Jelly bean 4.1.2 on Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ running stock android, etc
Swype 1.3.1.9274 (downloaded on 18 October, 2012)
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have this issue, it's working perfectly on my S3 with JB 4.1.2.
I typed this by hand.

Same problem exactly Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) running jellybean. I set swype as default and it resets immedatly to default android keyboard. Does not do this with swift key. Android keyboard selector is greyed out so I cannot deselect.
Latest from swype:
"We have been able to reproduce this in-house and are confident we know what the issue is.
We are still investigating this but will keep this thread updated as we have more information.
We'll reach out to you further if needed."
In the meantime they are recommending:
"you should be able to use Swype be disabling any apps that are in Android Settings > Accessibility."
Which is only a temporary fix and I think (and hope!) they know that.

I think I would rather use SlideIT than disable Lightflow. I sure hope that Swype fixes this bug ASAP.
Temporary fix....
- Settings > Apps > All
- Disable Android Keyboard
- Reboot phone
- Select Swype
In this manner I am currently able to run both Lightflow and Swype.

My gps is off and I do not recall seeing it on since the update - its normal state is off until I need it.
The only thing I can think of is under Swype Connect in Settings I have "Cellular Data" turned off. Even though it doesn't list GPS as what it is using, could this be the cause?

I ended up restoring the previous Swype anyway, as this method of forcing Swype to remain selected caused Tasker's use of the accessibility service to fail, meaning no detection of notifications.
Swype has gone mostly dark on this after staying mostly on top of this on the 18th when the issue broke???
Last thing on their official forum was "ensure that all applications or settings that are in Android Settings > Accessibility are disabled/turned off." And how should that be considered a final solution?
No word on an update or real fix? And demanding to be the only app or program running in Accessibility sounds somewhat unrealistic.
Be nice to hear something current from Swype.
Moved as not development.

I hope they have a fix for the people that have been having problems with Jelly Bean and no spacing or no capitalization in a browser text box for the last two beta versions. They haven't even acknowledged the problem!!!
And there are many with the problem.
I received the OTA update today. Everything is fine for me.
I enabled my android keyboard and rebooted the phone. Android keyboard is back now.
I have seen on their official forum that people are having issues with having two swypes installed after the update, removing of personalization/dictionary, auto spacing not working etc. I luckily have none of these.
