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.

my thunderbolt didn't come with swype preinstalled
but yeah the autospacing still doesn't work. They sent me an e-mail saying they did all this crazy updates to swype, so i reinstalled with that, and still nothing.

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.
So when im typing on swype, and I swype a word that came preloaded and is close to one I have added to my user dictionary. I get a big black box pop up and tell me that the word I was trying to type was "hidden" it does this on both atrix's that I've had. Anyone know how to disable this? It is becoming VERY ANNOYING! I've been in the swype settings and can't find anything. Ill try to attach a pic in a few

A new version of swype (not on the atrix by default) has this pop up fixed. I see it fairly often as well and yes it's annoying.

Yes, it requires root and sideloading though. Both are fairly painless now IMO. I'm going to give it a try, never had a reason to update swype until I started seeing these popups.
I tried this browser a while back and it was very buggy, uploading data to Craigslist or pictures to otther forums was a no go. Text input was a mess, and the overall experience was just buggy.
I have to say that sine the latest update (whenever that was... I seemed to have missed it) this browser can take anything I throw at it.
It seems faster than dolphin for pad which was my daily driver until I realized all of these bugs had been addressed. The graphics and speed are spectacular IMO and I honestly can't find any glitches.
Anyone else notice how awesome this opera moblie is now?

The most annoying bug Opera Mobile has (or used to have, havn't used it in a while), has to do with text input fields like the "quick reply" box I'm just typing in. It loses all the text when unselecting the input field the first time and also when clicking on something like "post reply" or "advanced/preview".
You need to select the field, unselect it and select it again before you can start typing. The second time I lost a lengthy reply to that bug because I forgot to do so I stopped using Opera Mobile.
I like Opera Mobile but the market says the last update was june 30, so no update for quite some time. Is this bug really gone?

I had that too, but there is a quick fix for it. Set the zoom rate from 125% or so it is now to 100%. No more disapearing text.

To those of you sharks looking for the next best keyboard, this is it. I dl'd it yesterday to run a test drive and this thing is fast - but more importantly, flawless. i havent sent a mistyped txt all day (im a speed typer, but there is an option for precision typers too). I went back to the stock keyboard and it was fail-galore, but, of course, YMMV
-its NOT the same as the swiftkey keyboard in the Play Store. its BETTER
-it learns your typing style more effectively than others advertise, IMO, via social networking/past texts/emails (which ever you prefer)
-its got some pretty nice themes onboard
-its layout is pretty comfortable and doesnt take up space with useless buttons
-its free
here's an article attesting to it's prowess:
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...there/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
heres a direct dl link:
http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta
EDIT: Out of beta! woohoo! If you owned swiftkey x, check it out cuz you get upgraded for free otherwise it's half off this first week on the Play Store
SwiftKey makes the best Android keyboard, period.
I've been using SwiftKey X for a long while, and loved it. The biggest problem I had was missing the space bar (I'm also a speed typer) and typing the letter b, or something, which it wouldn't autocorrect.
I installed the SwiftKey 3 beta last night, and it's phenomenal. It fixes that problem (in fact, try typing without pressing the spacebar and look at the autocorrect) and is overall even more responsive.
I also just downloaded this and while I don't have anything to compare it too other than the stock, I'm already amazed.
While allowing it to scan my emails, texts, and facebook to figure out my speech mannerisms is unnerving, the results are amazing!
It's like it's in my head. Of course, I'm an ex-blackberry user so I have to adjust to using the correction bar. I still want to type out all my words letter by letter. *rolls eyes at self*
But so far, an amazing keyboard.
Thanks for this. I bought SwiftKey but was digging the sense4 keyboard until I saw this. I love the cobalt skin.

You'll get updated to it; don't worry. I got SwiftKey X for free from SwiftKey 1. It'd be pretty unbelievable if they didn't give X users 3.
I'm a long time Swiftkeyer myself. Started using the original when it went Beta. Have used every version since.
My only gripe with Swiftkey, is the automatic space after using a period. My email address has a period in it and it is a bit annoying. Especially since you have to type your email like a gazillion times.
One problem I'm having with SwiftKey 3 is that they got rid of the distinct question mark button, and it seriously slows me down to have to long press a key.
Do any of y'all know if it's possible to bring the distinct key back?
Thanks for the share! I love Swiftkey and I glad that they finally have Korean language support (albeit beta) now. =)
Does the haptic work for y'all? I can't seem to get it to work. It's enabled in the string already.

haptic working fine for me. you mean while your type right? (just making sure). make sure you set the haptic feedback duration to at least ~20ms to notice it. i'm at 18ms and i like it, albeit it hiccups every now and then because im such a fast typer anything lower than about 15 wont work/is too short to notice
Works great now, thanks!
I also figured out my question mark issue from earlier: you can swipe horizontally across the period button. To the left right you'll get the question mark, and to the left, you'll get the explanation mark. Works wonderfully.
I just don't know why anyone would use any other keyboard.
Thanks so much for this! :-D

yeah it works. I had to turn up the duration of the feedback, and now it works fine. Only things is, if i mispell a workd incorrectly (especially a small word like "Hey") it wont auto correct it for me. it just leaves the misspelled word. I thought its supposed to correct it for ya LOL. Unless im missing something int he settings?

I'm totally new to this so I don't know what the behavior is supposed to be, but I noticed that the corrected word is usually offered as a choice for me to select above the keyboard.
Thanks for this. I had bought swiftkey for my OG evo but this works even better.
Flash?
I have been using Swift Key for at least a year on other phones and have been totally sold on the quality of this keyboard - I wanted to try the beta just to see what is different - but wasn't sure how to install -
I tried flashing and it failed - and there isn't an "AP" per se that i saw which I could install - so how do I install from the zip file you posted? Sorry if I sound like a noob but I am a little confused on how to install this -
I appreciate the help

after you click on the dl link i put in the first post, your browser (or phone) should automatically download the file. it'll say swiftkey3_beta-3(etc, etc).apk, so just move it onto your phone if it isnt already and, using any file explorer or in the notification bar, click on it and install like any other app
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?

Thanks, I actually forgot about that setting. I just put it a little more towards "accuracy". Lets see if that helps.

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.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
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:

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.

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.
