Anyone else having issues with the newest swype beta keyboard? I am running stock global and ever since it downloaded the newest version i get times where i see the keyboard icon in the notification bar and the cursor is flashing, but the keyboard never pops up. pretty annoying
Happens right after a reboot for me. The first time loading Swype after a reboot takes FOREVER.

Yeah that's what happened to me but then it started happening all the time not just after boot and would lock up the entire phone. Finally fixed it, settings, Swype beta, clear data. It resets your settings and logins for Swype, but now it works perfectly again

Similar issue here
I have had similar issues with swype. Mine mostly occurred on lock screen attempting to enter password and on reboot.

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.

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.
I deleted swype off of the phone so I could install the beta swype, the only thing is now when I click in a text field to type in my login info. no form of keyboard shows up Anyone else run into this or know what can be done to start typing? I've done this with many other roms and never ran into this problem.
Edit: Nevermind mods can delete this. After a couple reboots the stock keyboard showed up.
new problem now as I explore ugh getting a FC on gmail.

I have been having some odd issues with my sms. I originally used the stock sms application and swype beta 3.0. When I unlock the screen with the sms app open, the message options open up (like when you tap on a message) and i have to lock it, unlock it, and hit home instantly to get out. then it is frozen on the home screen for a few minutes. it sometimes freezes on the home screen on its own when I use the sms app also. I switched to using Go sms pro and it worked fine for a few days. Now the same error is occuring and the message options (that only should open with the stock sms) are randomly opening in go sms pro and the keyboard will start having random letters pressed without me touching the screen. any ideas for how to fix this?
Thank you for your help in advance

Delete Go SMS, power off your phone, power it on again then try to reinstall it. Worst case scenario you may have to format your phone back to stock. I've had issues like this in the past and following those steps would usually get me working before having to format back to stock.
Do you have too many text messages saved? Try deleting some.
Soooo I started using WidgetLocker again yesterday along with ADW EX for an ICS-ish theme. Well today I started having some issues with WidgetLocker not allowing me to answer or even see a phone call when my phone was locked. Well to take things further; just an hour ago, when I woke up, when I unlocked my phone my screen was blank and unresponsive. All I had was the notification bar at the top, but it is unusable, and my wallpaper showing. So I rebooted my phone and then disabled WidgetLocker. Well now I'm stuck with just the wallpaper and notification bar on the screen. Nothing works accept the power button and I can't reboot or anything without pulling the battery. I never froze the Sense Launcher or HTC Lockscreen. So... WTF do I do other than wipe my phone and re-install everything??? :'(
I think you have some other problem and it is not widget locker.

eh? had to edit my post. my screen isn't actually blank, or off, there just isn't a home screen or lock screen, and none of the buttons work accept the power one.
Are you rooted and unlocked? If so make a nand backup and try wiping. This will allow you to troubleshoot. Report back and we can go from there
I'm rooted on inef 1.4 , I did that and it didn't work. WidgetLocker kinda pisses me off that it can mess stuff up that badly now. Do any rezound users have problems with it? I went though the settings trying to find the culprit but couldn't. Then once I disabled the app everything just broke.
I ended up wiping and staring from scratch. Not using that app again.
I wanted aosp ICS looking stuff but I'm too lazy to desense and theme apps now. I miss MIUI lol. soo easy to change everything from system apks to icons. Makes want to buy a nexus and put up with all the missed opportunities on the phone just to have aosp lol.

I use widget locker on every phone and Android tablet, including my Rezound... Never seen that type of problem before.

If you do go back to using it again, set up HomeHelper if you haven't done so. Also, unsure of the package names, but you can uninstall using ADB. Having this happen once before, I had to ADB shell into the phone and remove ADW. It's a rare occurrence but does happen.

It won't help you any, but I stopped using Widget Locker because it did the exact same thing to me. I did a wipe & reinstall from scratch just to get totally 100% rid of the POS.
never had any issues with it before, user error perhaps?

LOL, I don't think so.
I used it forever in my DroidX & it worked fine. All I did was install it in my Rezound & I immediately lost the ability to answer the phone, how is that "user error" ??
boot your phone up without the sim, it should take you to the home screen. Dial *#*#4636#*#* and make sure cdma+lte auto is selected. Power down and re insert sim, and boot back up.

completely remove widgetlocker and see if it still happens.
I did completely remove it. That's when my phone was totally unusable. Before I did that I could reboot to get it to unlock at least. Idk what the app did or altered to mess up that bad. I'm glad I was rooted and could fix it.
My fix I mean wipe and reflash the rom
I had nothing but problems with it on my thunderbolt. Great idea, poor implementation.

True. What's bad is that there is actually a market for a really good one. Money to be had there...
I have had troubles with this app as well. actually it worked kind of alright when it was installed (but it glitched/didnt work occasionally so i got rid of it) but when i uninstalled it somehow the widgetlocker lockscreen still comes up before my current lockscreen (GOlocker). i dont see how this is possible, any ideas? also it usually does this after booting the phone, after its on it pretty much never shows up. maybe reinstall it and wipe the app data with Ti backup, then uninstall?? not sure what to do here
Ive heard numerous times that it takes 1 or 2 seconds for the S3 to turn on after u press the home button, someone told me that it happens on all Sammy devices so i tried it on my SGS1 and there was no such delay, so im guessing its not down to the way Sammy makes their devices.
I also heard from the early reviews that S-Voice can be turned on directly from the lockscreen, maybe this is the cause for the delay. try turning S-voice off (not that your going to use it after the first week anyway ) and see if the problems persists, i also heard this from someone else and said that it does remove the delay.
Get back to me if it has helped.
I have a delay of around 1 second, and I have... like... everything turned off. S Voice is nothing I'm interested in so I have it all turned off and frozen in Titanium Backup. Same goes for unlock "toilet" sounds and ripple effects and whatnot, I'm not using any of it and I still have the lag.
Even GS1 has 1,5 sec delay
The "delay" is because the phone is waiting for a second press to see if you wish to load "s-voice".

So by turning off the s-voice should fix the delay?

I don't think it will, but it might depends how well samsung have linked the software
Kernel hacks can fix this, we did it on the s2.
I have noticed this as well with s voice turned off. My galaxy s was pretty quick but it had a custom rom built for speed and responsiveness.
Anyone noticing that after slide unlock that the home screen takes a while to come up? Takes a nice sec or 2 while all the app icons and the weather widget to come up.
I think sometimes the launcher has to reload after unlocking the screen, causing the delay

Kernel hacks didn't do anything on the S2 concerning the issue and specific cause. The issue apparently is modem related as it takes a long time to sleep and wake up, and the S3 has the same type of modem as the S2.
even the S2 had the s-voice like feature which would be activated in the very same way.
opening the s-voice app, going into settings and unchecking the "start s-voice (by double-tapp)" or something will solve your problem
You can set the home button to start up S Voice when double-pressed, but that means the system has to wait and make sure what you want it to do if you only press it once -- resulting in a pause. We've seen the same behavior any time an OEM decides to add functionality to a button with a double-tap, but this time its easy to fix. Just disable it in the S Voice settings and you're home free.

That doesn't sound right. The launcher just randomly takes its time to load, regardless of whether it's waking up or not.
Example; I was playing Reckless Getaway when I got an email notification. I quit out of that and got back to the launcher (Apex) instantly. Loaded up GMail and read my email. Once I quit out of that though, there was a 1-2 second delay before Apex loaded again.
I'd expect that after playing the game, not reading an email..

Agreed. The app you jump out from seems to be random. Even sometimes the same app launcher time is pretty random eg exiting Firefox sometimes launcher reloads but sometimes doesn't. Seems like the OS is killing launcher when something else needs the memory and then reloading it as you quit other apps.

If you use apex launcher and tick "keep in memory", you don't get this loading issue.
Also, it's not s- voice. I just disabled it in applications, so it's almost as if it's not even installed now, and there is still the 1 second delay. The big question is howeve... Why the hell does this even matter to any of you? After a week of owning this phone I never thought to myself "ohh this lag takes 2 centuries and is really annoying", no. It's about a second, sometimes it ot even that. Stop complaining, everyone has this "issue". It's not that important.

It's not only a second, IT'S HORRIBLE!!! Someone have to find a solution for that or I'm going crazy everytime I push the power-button
Edit: I thought I found a solution by turning off all effects and clock settings for the lock screen, but it worked one time and after that I still have the "one-second-lag" after pressing the power-button to get on the lockscreen. %&/*ยง
Do no one has an solution?
