I just installed this and it has made a difference with my phone
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Aridon:
I never liked the abc slider thing. Swype is smart enough to figure it out on its own even if adding a 's to words without needing that. The predictive text in Swype had also gotten much better. They have really been working on the software big time and it has constantly been improving.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] vince24L:
After i put a period it doesnt auto space to start next sentence.rather annoying.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobapunk:
Ok this one installs. Thanks. I am not really digging it though :( I think I would rather have the stock beta Swype keyboard but with the orange bits (including the Swype trace) themed to ICS blue.

I am new to the forum as you guys can see but I downloaded Swype this morning and feel in love. I just switched from Apple to Android and this keyboard is another plus in my book. Thanks for sharing.

Are there supposed to be any sounds on the swype keyboard? no keyboard clicks after swyping a word - very quiet! Normal?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobapunk:
try this: http://db.tt/et1dT3MC

I just pulled it out of data/app

It looks like theming the Swype key/logo would be easy as it is just a png. Theming the trace and the button glow might be harder. One of the old Swype betas had a blue trace, I have no idea why they switched to orange....

Did you like the 3d effect?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rEVOLVE:
I've tried the newest version of Swype beta and Swiftkey 3 and will still stick w/ my favorite, Touchpal. I see people love Swype for the swiping, and I see people like Swiftkey 3 for the prediction. The reason I prefer Touchpal is because I get the swiping of Swype and great prediction of Swiftkey and other features those keyboards don't have.

-I hate having to hold down a key for a number or symbol. In Touchpal, I just swipe up to get the number or down to get the symbol I want.

-At some point, they included the mic button for google voice typing that people were asking for.

-There is a button on the keyboard that opens to a panel that has cut, copy, paste, select all, select, delete, home, end, AND cursor keys. I use this constantly and it's so handy. I miss this feature in every other keyboard.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
I've been using Swype for 1.5 years on my Captivate, but gave Samsung's "swype-like" keyboard a try for one week. Didn't hate Samsung's, but I didn't like it either, so Swype wins, because after re-installing it again, I'm still in LOVE with it. Way more accurate.

Only thing I change with Swype settings is remembering to turn Auto-Correct off; that thing is ANNOYING when you're used to typing lots of words and acronyms not in its standard dictionary.

edit: oh, yeah, and samsung's keyboard doesn't have arrow keys afaik, which makes cmdline editing in ConnectBot's ssh terminal impossible.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobapunk:
The 3d effect on the keys in the ics Swype you posted? TBH, I didn't care for it. It was a little too busy and made the keys harder to read. I prefer subtle shading to get a 3d effect like the sick spite keyboard.

I wonder if the color for the button glow and trace tail are just hex strings buried in an xml file...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] epicnoob66:
I can link you to a decompile of the apk if you want to look around.

the button glow is a png. Which I made a shade darker then the button colors.

Anyone have any comparisons for SlideIT vs Swype?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] princessakiki:
They auto save to your dictionary whenever you type in a word. Go to settings and look up personal dictionary you will see all the words there.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] princessakiki:
When Swyping (if that is a word), to get the space after the period or comma or any other punctuation you Swype from the button to the spacebar and you are good to go. Example is the question mark, quotation mark, exclamation , Swype from the letter it is on to the space it automatically places it there no need to hold it down.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thepepperman:
I tried TouchPal for a bit, and really liked the functionality of swiping up or down to get special characters. The real problem I had with it was that the prediction wasn't nearly as accurate as Swype, for common words that it often gave me wildly different options, even when I swiped it out carefully. That made me go back to Swype quickly.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mysticfrog:
The phone comes with swipe but I can't find the swipe settings it does not have them in the input.. were are they I'm not rooted btw I'm just waiting..

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pj1000:
For me, with Swype, there's good news and bad. The good is that the longer you use it, the faster you get - waaaayyyyy faster that hunt and peck n my case. The bad news is that Swype has the capability of capturing your texts. I realize that the carriers are doing that anyway, but who needs another company doing the same. For me, the speed on Swype outweighs the privacy issue.

Just long press the Swype key -the "S" on the bottom left of your keyboard and turn off that option in Settings.

Got my SGSIII (Verizon) yesterday... gave the stock keyboard a fair shot... didn't make it through the day. I'm back on Swype.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] PeterGuru:
Tried it ... sorry

I tried SwiftKey 3. Sorry, but I'm back to Swype, which I've been using for the last year or more. The latest version of Swype has virtually all the same "predictions" feature/capabilities as SwiftKey.

Then again, to each his/her own.

My only complaint with the Swype beta is why in the hell won't it automatically capitalize i?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ForcedZucchini:
SwiftKey is a really great keyboard. The more you use it the better it gets. I rarely type complete words and don't really even have to look at the keyboard when I type because it auto corrects all the mistakes I make. This comment was typed ridiculously fast using SwiftKey. :-)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Paging Dr B:
Stock TW keyboard is pretty good

Swype is a little better

Swiftkey is the best.

Swype is good until it begins to act crazy when deleting words. I ended up going back to swiftkey. It allows me to hammer away and it's crazy accurate. I actually found that swyping slowed me down.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheBiles:
Been using the Swype beta since it came out. Swiftkey is nice on my tablet, but Swype is the only option for me on a phone.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] coogrrr94:
One of the things I like about Swiftkey is the "future" word prediction feature. It suggests the next word so sometimes you might only have to tap the keyboard 5 times for a 5 word sentence.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] locomariachi:
Does anyone have the issue with swype not letting you save words in your dictionary? I can't add words at all even in the settings, any thoughts or suggestions?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] demarcmj:
Swype does that too. It's a new feature so it's not as accurate yet, but I figured I should at least throw that out there.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Wond3r:
I like swype and swiftkey. The voice recognition typer on swiftkey is terrible compared to swype though. It takes so long
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
I agree with you on this one. The one setting I personally change right away is"Automatically correct spelling“= OFF This gives me the best of both worlds I feel. I still get word prediction, but I also can abbreviate words however I like. AND Swype adds all my abbreviations to its library. You'll know if you have auto spell correct on if, as your typing, a word sometimes turns red! Another, time saving feature is: Type a paragraph or more without worrying about mistakes, then go back and quickly proof read what you've typed. Then any word you'd like to change, double tap on to select it and then re type it. Sometimes you don't even need to double tap, just place the cursor on it and see if the word you want pops up in the option table?

Been curious as to what other shortcuts are on the Swype KB that I haven't discovered? I walked through the tutorial a long time ago and learned the obvious ones, I should probably do that again to see if there's something new I didn't know about? Wonder if anyone has stumbled across any cool ones lately?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
you could type with swype too..that's what i love about it..and it types better than swiftkey 3
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] coogrrr94:
How do you enable this feature in Swype?

I see how it works now. It really only works if you peck type and not Swype typing but it does work similar to Swiftkey.

Are there any arrows that can be added to the keyboard.

Now that I discovered both Swype and next word prediction this may be the best of both worlds.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] demarcmj:
AFAIK it's enabled by default
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
the reason why i hate swype is because once you press the space key and start entering in new word after it autocorrected incorrectly...you can't go back and edit the previous word without it auto-suggesting words for the incorrect corrected word.

you have to place the cursor at the end of the previous word to get proper word suggestions back

with swype, you click on any word that you previously typed and gives alternate word suggestions if it autocorrected wrong for you....

I can't autocorrect word for word..it slows me down..i type out the whole message, and then go back to correct any errors

I am pretty sure that is an option you have to enable. Mine capitalizes "I" just fine.

Have tried Swype before. Swiftkey 3 is still way better. ^^
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Try turning the AutoCorrect off and don't even use the cursor. If you need to correct a word and the word that your looking for doesn't appear as a selection, just double tap the word and write it again, chances are the correct one will be available the second time around.

I need to look into this because this is the biggest flaw I've found with the KB...Why won't it upper case "I" when it's all by itself!!?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobapunk:
Try this:

Settings

Language and Input

Tap the setting icon to the right of "swype beta"

preferences

Ensure that "Auto-capitalization" is checked
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Yes, I have "Auto Capitalization" checked ON. I just double-double checked it to make sure. I wonder if we may have a different version of Swype Beta? Mine is version 1.0.3.5809. Look in Preferences at the bottom and see if yours may be different?

All this messing around has made me look into the settings a little bit more and I have discovered Swype Gestures can be EXTREMELY helpful at times! I never knew you could access an "Edit" keyboard or have Swype capitalize an entire word for you! These will definately come in handy at times.

For the person who was wanting to add arrows to the keyboard; The Edit keyboard does this(and more)and it's easy to get to. Just swype from the hand to the +!= key and BOOM your there. The other nice shortcut I never knew exsisted was: hand icon to the "UP" arrow... brings up a group of capitalization options. No more activating CAP lock when typing for me!! :good:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobapunk:
1.0.3.5809
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Well, what the heck? I know with past versions I never had this problem...Past phones with swype pre-loaded on them, that is. Now that I know it's possible to get the feature turned on, I WANT IT!

I see you can turn off "Auto-Spacing" by swyping from the space key to the backspace key...Wonder if there's a shortcut to enable/disable the "I" by itself? That doesnt make sense though?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
how do we use the gestures?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Just swype from the Hand Icon (Swype icon) to any of the shortcuts and there you have it :) Look under the index and it gives all of the keys, the two I thought would be super-useful are the two I pointed out already, the "UP Arrow" and the " +!= " key.

:cool:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gbzbar:
Try checking the Swype User Dictionary and make sure that a lowercase "i" is not saved as an entry there. That would make the keyboard think that it was what you wanted to write each time.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Nope, it's not in there as a word? I know I'm not the only person with this problem, as I've seen a couple other people mention it...I think I'll pay a visit to the Swype website and see if I can find out anything?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Ok, from the Swype website:

Swype one-letter words like "a" and "I" by gliding from the letter to the Space key. Swype automatically capitalizes the word "I" for you.

.

I've tried this and it works, but I wish I didn't have to go from the "i" to the "Space" every time I needed to put in the word "I"? Never used to have to do this on some of the other versions:(

EDIT: Have done some reading in the forum there at Swype and it appears the feature I was used to (plain ole capatalize the "I" when its alone) got broken in this last revision. Either I need to wait for newer software or somehow get hold and install the earlier version?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] aburgthing:
What was somewhat a disappointment actually worked out for the better because it is relatively easy to get the Swype beta now without having to extract all the pre-installed libs. and com files. Especially unrooted out of the box. So thanks Samsung; made getting back to Swype beta easy!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
my swype is behaving strangely

at first, I could click on a word, and put the cursor anywhere within the word....and click an auto-suggestion and it would replace the word in its entirety

then, it started adding the word in the middle of the word , wherever i put the cursor

now it's back to the way it's supposed to be...what changed? thanks
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] khrizg35:
I love the accuracy of the swype keyboard but if it had a different look to the keyboard i would get it asap hopefully someone themes it!

Tried swype today and absolutely hated it. Went back to swift key and it felt awesome. I type fast and hate predictions and swyping.

Fyi the samsung focus wp7 was the best phone i have ever owned in terms of typing for fast typers. Swiftkey gets me 60% there.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] animal7296:
I like the Samsung keyboard but the prediction is lacking. That is why I went with the Swype beta.

Also you do not have to Swype to the space bar for the letter I it does it automatically.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cincygeek:
I am a huge fan of swipe, I have used it on all of my previous droid devices.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nrlulz:
motherofgod.jpg I thought they broke that capitalization thing, you used to be able to just highlight a word and tap the shift button and it would bring up those options, after this update that would only work like 25% of the time. Good to know!

You can also get the numpad keyboard by long-pressing the +!= key... there are a whole bunch of shortcuts like that. Swype from hand to backspace to close keyboard, swype from hand to A to select-all....I can't think of any others right now that might be it

I'm kinda upset though that they took away the function where it would change the alt-symbols on the letters to the second page of symbols when you hit shift...if that makes any sense. They just stay the same all the time now and there are some fairly frequently-used symbols on that second page like * and % I always forget which letter they are on so I actually have to go into the symbols keyboard...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
It looks as though they did away with the "Alt" key and instead have you tapping the "+!=" key? After that there's another key that appears and equals Page 2 of those symbols, this key is located directly above the Swype Icon.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yahknow1:
Well, if you double-tap the word you want to edit, it should highlight the word and then let you Swype a new word on top of it?
[Acer Iconia A500] KingLex:
I currently just had a issue with my tablet and i have a even bigger problem if this method wont work. My 16gb SDcard some how broke on me :( and my SDcard slot is not catching the SD in place as it should. My question is with the Acer being that he has a USB port can I manage to install a custom ROM from USB in place of a SD? Im really hopping it would work im running 4.0.3 stock at the moment
[Acer Iconia A500] lcd047:
If you just want to flash a ROM the easiest way is to connect your tablet to a computer with the USB cable, and use one of the tools announced in the development section, such as AfterOTA. Read the instruction carefully, and make sure you understand what you're doing.

Whether you can flash the ROM image from an external disk depends on the boot recovery you have installed. IIRC the stock one insists on looking only at the SD card, while smarter ones such as CWM can load the image from anywhere, including internal and external disks.
[Acer Iconia A500] KingLex:
Thank you, could you also link me to a how to root 4.0.3 and i can take it from there
