so anyone else hating the new swype beta? adding words to the dictionary automatically is good but find its recognition of simple words to be really poor meaning 2/3 goes sometimes for something like 'do'.
anyone else having similar issues?
i restored my backup of previous Swype but that was fc'ing and the installer i have for it only installs the new beta version.
even with these issues though it's still so much faster than any other keyboard so I'm kinda just putting up with it and hoping they update it soon to fix these issues.

Anybody please tell me a way to remove that useless dragon key!
Swype beta is slow so i switched to slide it v.3.2... v3.2 is the best and fast upper version are slow on our device...
how accurate is slide-it compared to swype and is it a paid app?

yeah i tried a few too and thought the same, but just a backwards step with the beta, hopefully they'll update and sort it out soon.

Would be interesting to see how well it works.
You can get swype currently from their site, if you miss swipe, has a couple bugs on TB but works fairly well.

Im still using swype but it bugs me that I have to use handscent to get the auto caps and auto spacing to work for texting.
Maybe htc purposely built their messaging app this way so people wouldnt want swype and would look for an alternative?
HTC phones are also the only phones you need to switch swype off then reselect it to get it to work after a reboot.
FlexT9 works perfect in the mean time. Seems to do the same stuff, but FlexT9 has handwriting recognition + swype + voice input + QWERTY + Compact QWERTY.

Nope, Swype did that on the OG Droid as well. Was one of the reasons I stopped using it. Using Flex T9 now and loving it.
I've been playing with that on the doubleshot port. It's cool.

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.

Thanks for reminding me to try this out. I find Swyping a with the S Pen to be really convenient and fast. Almost faster than my finger I think.

Freezing it via TBU would be the best way to do that.

Thanks, i like new swype beta, and yellow on it looks better than blue to me.
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!
Up until now, I'd been using an old, pre-"ICS support" version that I backed up in TiBu, so this is news to me at least!

Does it stop swyping in the middle of long words that run across the keyboard?
EDIT: Just installed. Was working well. Then started running into the same problem. Quits swyping in the middle of words.
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?

I'm on latest ICS firmware and except for having to switch to landscape and back when restarting I haven't had any problems with Swype. I don't know that many big words so maybe that's why

That still rotation trick only puts Swype at about 3/4 its proper size, if that. What ROM? I'm on Venasaur, which is a Sense 4 based ROM.

Yea still not working for me if I swype to fast. Running cleanrom 4.5 btw which is on sense 3.6 if that makes a difference

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!

Lol nope. So it's working for you too, eh? I wonder if the version of Swype was the issue, or Sense 3.6? No....it had to be Swype. The GB version of Swype still worked. Anybody out there running Sense 3.6 with a successful current version of Swype?

Up to this point, I've not had any issues with Swype... I was using GB...
Now, I get the same issues others are mentioning. Attempted use the installer to get the current Beta, but all I get is a Parse Error after selecting the Beta and hitting the download button.
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
Just did all that. Still getting parsing error... Using slideit and its no swype...

Cant install either, same parsing error.
Weird. I've never heard of getting a parsing error. Try wiping and uninstalling Swype and Swype installer using titanium, and then wipe cache and dalvik in recovery to make sure every shred of it is gone. Then download the installer fresh again, and give it another shot.

Ive tried and tried with no luck, I keep getting parse error.
I had the same problem. Had to clear data from installer, then uninstall, then finally try again. After the second time it worked.
Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
yea same error here, but i got it to work by doing the same thing
On the Swype beta faq page it mentions the parse error. They say that it means the connection is having issues and recommend switching from data to wifi, or vice versa. They also say a third party browser may be interfering

You guys don't like the Trace feature integrated with Sense Keyboards? It's basically the same thing.

Similar ís not the same. For started multi language is not supported and is important for me, and the keyboard distribution is kind of different, plus Dragon dictations works great for me.
