Swype not working after Firware upgrade (fix)

[Clevo89]

Hello, just wanted to post about how I fixed the Swype Keyboard after upgrading the firmware on my IDEOS X5. In my case it was pre-installed when I bought the Smartphone.

After the firware upgrade when ever I tried to use swype it would scroll up, stutter then immediatly scroll back down. Totally unusable.

To fix:

Got to:

Settings/Applications/Manage Aplications then:

All tab/scroll down to Swype and press

then Clear data


and that's it.

It'll take you back to when you first used it with a pop up screen wanting to teach you how to use it.

I hope the above information helps you too and saves you time in looking through Google.

Regards

Clevo

I hadn't even realised that it was a system problem - I was blaming one of the apps!

Thanks from 2012. What an easy fix. I would not have figured that out.

Hi Clevo, what Firmware update caused the problem?
Was this the Huawei online update?
Thanks. Neil.
