Can't argue with that :P

It's interesting to me that you're having this problem with smilies though. I've never had problems with it, and haven't heard it reported before. Can you tell me exactly what trace path you're doing for the sentence "swype is awesome ;D."?

Example would be:

Placed finger on "s", dragged through w-y-p-e, lifted finger. Placed finger on "i"...etc etc. Don't leave out anything where your finger touches the screen or moves :)

EDIT: Upon re-reading, perhaps I'm not understanding the problem you're having and why it keeps you from using punctuation words and auto-space :o
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Is there any chance of adding an option to make the Suggestions Window a horizontal line, rather than a pop-up box in the middle of the screen?

I find horizontal suggestion lines in other keyboards to be much, much more useful since it's right above the keys so I can see them via peripheral vision while keeping my eyes on the keyboard's keys. With the pop-up box in the middle of the screen, I have to make a far and dedicated movement with my eyes to the suggestions window, back and forth. Also, that huge pop-up hides half the viewable screen; very annoying.

A horizontal line of suggestions would be much faster, more efficient, and keep the screen above the keyboard viewable.

Any chance this can be added as an option? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
okay let me try to rephrase it lol. sorry if you didn't get me earlier.

this is how i swyped over.

s-w-y-p-e *lifts finger, autospace*

i-s *lifts finger, autospace*

a-w-e-s-o-m-e *lifts finger autospace*

;-d *dragup to caps "d" into "D"*

so after that final path of capsing "D", I can't simply move to Spacebar or it'll show me "hDtv" most of the times. (you can give it a try lol)

so instead of hitting space, I'll hit the period key by mistake; resulting in:

swype is awesome ;D.but (and so on)

i hope you understand me better now, though i think all that * and "s are gonna make it worse lol :D

on a side note: i do make use of swyping punctuations directly to space a lot. like for "?" and "." *put finger on "?" or ".", trace to spacebar*

but the "problem" comes in with symbols that requires a long-press action, like "-" or '

man, all these symbols are just confusing things more lol.
[Android Apps and Games] blackroseMD1:
I think this is a great idea as well. As much as I love Swype, the box popping up gets in the way, and I usually just ignore it and move on to the next word, which usually results in me having to go back and fix the word. A horizontal line above the keyboard would be much less intrusive, and wouldn't cut down on my texting speed as I could just swype up to the right word.
[Android Apps and Games] mps1773:
Suggestion

On the number keypad... can we have an option/button to temporarily disable auto-complete?

I find it annoying to tap in 192.168.1.4 and look up on the input box to see 192.168.10m.4ever

Either that or disable auto-complete by the "." when it is in use with numbers or just on the number keypad.

Other than that Swype is awesome :) It is definitely the best keyboard for my thick fingers :)
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
Any and all suggestions for Swype should be posted on our community forums at http://forum.swype.com in the "Feature Request" section. We can't keep track of all these different forums :)

blackroseMD1 and paul22000: We've experimented with horizontal suggestion bars before, and infact use a horizontal bar for tap-prediction. There are two reasons we've gone with the word choice window as it is:

A horizontal bar would conflict with the word completion suggestions (see my comments on word completion later in this post)

Having the word choice box allows gesturing for word choice, which improves overall experience by letting users make broad gestures instead of precise taps. Did you know you don't have to tap the words in the word choice window? Simply start your finger on the word you want and slide it off the right side of the WCW. If it's the top choice, start in the middle and slide off the top or just keep Swyping - it'll automatically be chosen. For more choices, start in the middle and Swype off the bottom. To cancel word entry and act as if you'd never Swyped at all, start in the middle and slide off the left side. Learn these shortcuts and you'll have a much better time of it :)

mps1773: I personally recommend leaving word-completion disabled in Swype's settings. It only effects tapping, not Swyping, and uses the same dictionary as the path recognition, which means that it's useless when you're tapping something that can't be Swyped - the #1 time when you'll tapping :P

That said, feel free to submit a bug report on our forums :) http://forum.swype.com

Adevem: I think I see your problem: Auto-space (when enabled in the settings, obviously) means that you don't have to interact with the spacebar at all. Swype one word, then swype the next word, no spaces of any kind required. It inserts a leading space AFTER you swype the NEXT word in the sentence. For example...

Start on the 'h', drag through e-l-l-o, lift finger from 'o' key.
Place finger on 'w' key, drag through o-r-l-d, lift finger from 'd' key
Place finger on '.' key, drag to spacebar, lift finger from spacebar

...will first print "hello", then " world", then ". "

See how Swype recognizes that there was no punctuation after "hello" and so automatically adds a space to the beginning of "world?" But not until you've actually swyped the word "world." That's auto-space. Then, to end a sentence, use your punctuation word to add a period and a space, and you're ready to begin your next sentence/phrase.

Does that help?
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
yes I understand/know, and make full use of all the shortcuts available for swype. nonetheless, an option to hide the voice input button it's all I ask ;p

I've posted a thread regarding all feature requests I've found from various users, and consolidated it on the swype's feature request forums (:

regards, and thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
I understand there are reasons that this decision was made. Which is why I was suggesting this as an option for people. :)

I totally understand that people like the pop-up, but everyone's different. An additional choice for those of us who hate the pop-up would be greatly appreciated, and would have 0 impact on those people who love the pop-up. :)
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkyRoad:
Hi,

Could anyone please help me out here?

Why is there no visible way of changing the smiley key back to a "return" key when sending text messages?

I get very annoyed if I can't paragraph my sms. (like this post for example)

I purchased Smart Keyboard specifically for this purpose because they have a setting where you can change the smiley back to the return key...

Regards,
[Android Apps and Games] mps1773:
neatchee: Thanks for the suggestion. I will give that a try :)
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
Handcent allows you to select which key you want, and it works with Swype.
[Android Apps and Games] sharper4:
In Handscent: go to Settings > Application Settings > Action key-type > SMILEY

This is where you can swap the Return and Smiley function of the lower / right key.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Oh wow, I just tried disabling Word Prediction and WOW, FINALLY. That idiotic pop-up when typing manually was one of the absolute most frustrating things about Swype ever. Thank god!

I never thought to disable that because I thought it was something that affected swyping; and of course, why disable word prediction when swyping; isn't that the whole point of Swype in the first place?

That feature really needs to be labeled better. It should say something like This affects tapping only.
[Android Apps and Games] Familyguy1:
How is this new version, I have 2.4 right now and the prediction is getting annoying, also is it more responsive this time around?
[Android Apps and Games] JayStation3:
Sweet... had to hunt it down but finally got the newest version of swype :)

I was running v1.60.36.8214 - now I have the new one which is v2.10.52.13753

It runs great on my EVO and so far having no problems... thanks for the info
[Android Apps and Games] SRed13:
Swype should stop this Perma-Beta business. Sorry, its not cute!
[Android Apps and Games] spitefulrain:
I have the epic 4g, and my version of swype is v2.11.xx.xxxxx

Why are they still releasing older versions? Or is this version specially designed for the epic?
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
PreLoad builds are indeed specially designed for the devices they are released on. Your version is specific to the Epic and will not work on any other device :)
[Android Apps and Games] spitefulrain:
Lol, thanks. That makes sense. I was confused as to why they everyone else had a lower build number :p
[Android Apps and Games] JayStation3:
When I first got swype, It was hard to actually find... My EVO did not come with it preloaded onto it. My wife how ever got a Samsung Captivate from AT&T and hers came with it... Im glad I stumbled on to this thread though cause now I have book marked the swype website and I can keep track of the updates thru the installer... now if i could just get them to invite me to the beta!
[Android Apps and Games] Infinitum:
When will Swype support QVGA resolution?
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
We have no plans to support QVGA through the BETA at this time. We have some QVGA partner builds, but none of the resources have been updated in a LONG time (haven't done a QVGA partner build in many months). Sorry :(
[Android Apps and Games] wvcachi:
New beta was pushed a couple days ago (2.15.56.14870) - surprised there hasn't been chatter on here. Very smooth!!
[Android Apps and Games] xero2002:
Any chance for SGS users getting it, WITHOUT having to rely on cracked versions?

I don't get it, we have it anyway but gotta stick to old stuff, because we're not Beta testers.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
thanks for the tip!

edit: not much of a changelog huh. feels all the same to me, except stripping me of all my words again.
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
And now you know why we didn't make a big deal about it :D It was an installer update, more than anything. Updates to the Swype package itself were just trunk merges for a buncha backend junk and bug-fixes, and adding some functionality that was required for the new installer features. Nothing the average user would notice :)
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
well an update is an update! :D
[Android Apps and Games] bigfire8:
Would love to check out the new version if anyone has the file or link to share in PM! The swype cartel still seems to think we Evo owners are their red-headed step child!

Sorry swype dude, but I won't wait months and months to get an 'opportunity to pay for this after the way ur company has handled this situation, and I know I'm NOT ALONE
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
I cannot go into any kind of detail for obvious reason, but you are going to eat those words on SO MANY LEVELS XD
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
the only way i see that possibly happening is if swype is released on the market for free very soon, and i very much doubt that'll happen.
[Android Apps and Games] wvcachi:
I like this - sounds like neatchee has something up his sleeve...
[Android Apps and Games] partyman1971:
neatchee, Are you all planning on opening up the beta program again anytime soon?
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
And how/why is that going to happen?

He'll use a hacked version for however months (or years) it takes to get Swype on his phone legitimately, and then he'll switch over. I see no downside for him at all (or anyone else who has to use hacked versions), since he gets to use Swype now AND later, rather than JUST later.

I feel bad for people not in the beta. :(
[Android Apps and Games] bigfire8:
And it's people willing to find a cracked apk file who are more than happy to give feedback to developers in the attempt of helping continued improvement. Oh well.
[Android Apps and Games] mssmison:
Funny thing for me, I was on the swype beta happily with my old phone. Though since my new galaxy s came with swype I no longer get to enjoy the beta :(
[Android Apps and Games] leeleelee:
I signed up for beta a while ago, but have forgotten my password. Tried to use the forgot password option to get an email with the new or existing password and I all I get is an email saying I have been registered for beta? WTF? Happy to give feedback as my job position is a snr software test analyst, but I cannot give any helpful feedback when i cant access beta :-(

On another note I have still not been able to get swype to work with auto spacing on the DHD when sending a sms as there is a red circle with a line through it indicating it is treating the sms field the same way as it would and url field, by not enabling autospacing. Have tried so many versions of swype since 1.6 and they all have the same problem. The problem however does not exist when adding calendar entry's.

Any other DHD users out there with the latest version of swype that don't have the auto spacing dilemma?

Cheers

Lee
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
Exactly what I thought.
[Android Apps and Games] wvcachi:
Just read that new swype beta invites have been going out...I haven't gotten one, but maybe this is what neatchee was hinting at a few posts back.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:

I got my beta today. Finally deleted that crap swype that came preloaded on the Droid X and installed the beta goodness.

[Android Apps and Games] blackroseMD1:
I haven't gotten my invite yet...hopefully it's just stuck in the intertubes somewhere.

For those that got their invites today...how long ago did you sign up for the beta?
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
This...and more ;) *fades into the mist*
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
i signed up 3 or 4 months ago and still haven't gotten an invite...
[Android Apps and Games] blackroseMD1:
Nevermind, I guess I got in. Never got an email, but the Swype installer allowed me to log in, download and install anyway. Nice to be running a legit version for a change. I am going to kind of miss the themes I had though.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
I miss being able to backup swype using titanium backup to go between roms, the most. all my dictionary from scratch ):
[Android Apps and Games] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, that sucks. They should really add a dictionary backup feature.

[Android Apps and Games] rori~:
Just got my Swype invitation today, nice... but Swype takes way too much internal memory.
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
Not if you remove the extra languages and keyboard layouts... An English only version with just QWERTY for a layout can take as little as 1.75MB. That requires some modifications, and thou shalt not submit bug reports on modified versions, but it isn't that hard to do.

Perhaps they can find a way to have the language packs additional and external from the Swype package? The installer could prompt which languages you desire and download those for you as you install Swype, just a thought...
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
funny, i was able to backup with titanium again! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
How do you choose to not install additional language packs?

From the installer, it just installed Swype and that was it. It didn't give me any options.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
hey paul, an update posted long ago, just thought you can edit the thread title and all that ;)

- if you guys haven't heard of it!
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
You have to install it normally first, then make changes in your pc, there are instructions somewhere on XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] wdhart3:
Yeah, I just got my invite yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Make changes on PC? What?

How did you manage that? I can backup the installer, but not Swype itself.

I have CM 6.1 on my N1 and for some reason I can't swype, it doesn't process the swyping action but will accept if I peck at the keys. The first time I ran it it said something about this is designed to run on other phones or something like that, any insight cause I'd really like to give this a try
[Android Apps and Games] neatchee:
Run the installer again WITHOUT uninstalling anything. Your license is broken. If you run the installer with the matching version of Swype already installed it will try to repair the license file.
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
It is a process of removing the files you don't want, editing the languages.lst file, re-zipping it and re-signing the file. You would also need to remove the official version and restore your license with the proper permissions (Titanium Backup).

I am glad they are working out a better solution.
[Android Apps and Games] FunkyMcBain:
Tried, didn't work, trying to uninstall and reinstall again. Thanks for the help
[Android Apps and Games] FunkyMcBain:

Humm... got invited to install the new beta. It looks more like pre-Alpha to me. Totally useless as far as I am concerned. Have you looked at the endless list of bugs on their forum ?

It's too bad because this way of writing is interesting. Let's hope they get it to work so that it saves time and improves accuracy compared to the other conventional keyboards.

I gave up and returned to SwiftKey ! I'll try it again in a couple months.

Hi there!

At the moment, im using a HD2 with windows mobile and S2U2 as my lockscreen. But im thinking about switching to a Desire HD with Android. So i have 2 questions:

Is it possible to see my appointments on the lockscreen of HTC Sense? Ive read about flyscreen, but i dont know if it will work with thee HTC Sense lockscreen...

And the second question is about 3G data connection. On windows mobile, everytime an app needed the 3G connection it was established and disconnected afterwards. I dont have a data flatrate and the only thing i found on android was an on/off switch for 3G. So either it was permanently on or completely off and i had to controll it manually. Is there some way to get the windows mobile behaviour on android?

Thanks!

No one? Is this question so specific? :)

I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.0-RC1 on my Android 2.2.1 HTC Evo. I backed up everything using Nandroid and Titanium backup before flashing Cyan6. After flashing the ROM, I cannot find how to restore Titanium backup to Cyan6.

What am I missing here? I did a full wipe when I flashed the Rom. Titanium was wiped out in flashing but I kept a copy on my desktop.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
After you open up Titanium Backup press the Menu button. Then, select "Batch" and you will be presented with a number of options. Look for "Restore Missing Apps with Data" and press "Run."

You will then be presented with a list of all your apps with checkmarks next to them. Choose "App Only" at the top, deselect anything you don't want installed on CM and press "Run Batch Operation."

IMPORTANT: Until you become familiar with Titanium I would advise against selecting "Apps with Data" in that final step. It is not uncommon that trying to restore the data causes problems.

Hope that helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesah:
I guess it's just because you have already set it manually and the syncing doesn't change your settings (cuz it doesn't work at all).

To prove me wrong, we could try manually set your time to 5 minutes ahead, then check that syncing option, and see if it correct itself automatically.
