There's a problem on the nexus. When you reboot, you get an error message and it stops working. Uninstall and reinstall and its fine again.

I'm not having a single issue, but I've heard others are. They said if you just long-press in the text field, then tap "Input Method" and select SWYPE, that you're fine until the next reboot. For what it's worth...

No issues with my Moto Droid, either. I just rebooted to be sure, and everything seems fine.
 
No need. I uninstalled it, redownloaded and reinstalled, and the problem's gone away. Mind you, I've also stopped Swype from auto-starting with auditor, but I don't think that should make a difference.
 
This app is awesome! I really hated the lag on my Hero keyboard so much so that I avoided using it at all cost, and would just text people from my Palm Pre, but this app makes it actually cool to use the keyboard. Thanks Swype.
 
Ok, got it download. Had to use Dolphin browser to do it. Seems fumny the stock browser is not recognized as an Android browser. :rolleyes:
 
Anyone else kind of bummed that swype is over 4MB? Also, if you don't uninstall the installer, that's another 2 MB.

Also wish there were a couple of dedicated smilie buttons.

Looks nice, still testing it out now.

The leaked version was double that so im happy its only for now. I got rod of the installer right away
 
Quite, leaked version totaled to a whopping 12 MB. Not that it affected me too much since I use apps2sd, but I too appreciate the slimmer package.

I just tap the Menu button and tap "Insert Smiley". Or is that a Handcent thing? :confused:

Thats only on Handcent.. Which doesn't even work on quick reply =/

Anyways smiles would be good and also a quicker way to write emails =/ Oh and it needs to capitalize I =D

I showed this to my dad and he freaked out. He thought it was amazing =D

On the stock messaging app, it's menu - more - insert smiley.

I sent a text the other day to somebody using swype, and my friend saw me do it from a distance. He said it was like I just drew a big circle on my phone. This program is impressive.
 
Amazing keyboard. I am actually using it more than my physical keyboard it's so cool! :p

Actually, capitalization of I does work.

Same problem on a DROID...I think. I get a "This version does not support your device. Functionality will be limited" (paraphrased) message and I can only input by tapping. Long press isn't bringing up the keyboard switcher in RTM, but I haven't tried it in another app yet.
 
I think someone from the Swype boards found a work around. When this happens you just turn off Swype to switch back to the default Android keyboard then turn it back on again. Not tested this yet but here's the thread if anyone's interested: linky

Had the same thing, uninstalled and reinstalled. works now!
 
Does anyone know how to switch swype off so you can enter user names and passwords?

On the hero keyboard there is a button on the bottom left that closes the keyboard so you can select the next input box. Not sure how to do that with swype.
 
Long-press anywhere in the text block, and it'll bring up a menu that will include "Input method." Select that, and choose the keyboard you want.

Not familiar with your phone but on the Droid to just get Swype to leave the screen I hit the back button. Swype does have a "next" key that appears to take you to the next input field when you need it (and a "done" key when all fields are completed).
