Help Swype

Un select then select swype as the key word entry and you will be hold to go

I actually tried that a few times before my above-mentioned fix. It didn't seem to make any difference. The reason I ended up doing the above, was after one time unselecting it, I restarted the phone so it would go back to Default, which it did. However, I went in, re-selected Swype, and nothing happened. That's what prompted re-running the Swype Installer, which simply prompted me to Enable Swype from that screen, which then fixed it all.

So if unchecking and rechecking doesn't solve it for some people, give it a shot, and see.

That would make sense (though hopefully after they get outta beta, this is resolved lol). I probably hadn't restarted since installation, so i never caught it until today.

Hold your finger on the word until is says select text, and select it. Then press the swype blue S button. It should ask if you want to add the word to the dictionary.

I've tried this and when I press the Swype button nothing happens, if I long-press I get the help menu.

I manually typed in these words several times but they are not added to the dictionary automatically either, as was described in the help menu.
