Swype stopped working - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Swype had been working for me for a long time. Now, when I type the keys get pressed and the screen vibrates, but no text is inputed. If i restart the phone, it will work for like half a sentence and then stop again. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

does it work if you just press the letters, one by one? also does it not input text when you try and swype?
if these are true, your swype is expired.

expired, is there a way to fix?

WM6.1 Predictive Text

Is there any way to turn off the predictive text thing?
It is mad annoying and always puts words I dont want.
Also, some of the symbols are mixed up. For example, when I hold down the M key trying to type a !, it puts =, and i have to press Q which should be %.
Anyone else have these problems?

you have two different problems
1) hit alt and space.. and just turn off the predictive
2) download the new eT9 from my signature and copy to your phone and install the cab and that will fix your keyboard
Thanks!
Both of those worked and I also hit up your Vista steez start button.
Looks good!

Swype (Froyo) buggy?

Hey,
I've come across the same bug as everyone else - where Swype doesn't work properly (keyboard works, but you can slide the keys around) and you have to uninstall it and reinstall. So I've followed that and it worked fine until I rebooted where I got the same problem again! I've since reinstalled it three-four times and continuously have the same problem.
I've also noticed that the phone is continuously awake when Swype works correctly, but when it isn't working 100% (i.e. can't slide the keys around) it can correctly go to sleep and lock.
Anyone else come across this or know a fix?
Did they not release a new version for 2.2?
Go to the Swype site and re request the email with the link to the installer is sent to you again.

This worked for me with Swype
On a text-input screen, long hold and select a keyboard. Input a no. of letters and then long hold again, and now select Swype as text input method. Job is oxo.
Hi, I do get the same situation, that after rebooting or (I suspect) even when mounting the usb sdcard, I need to switch to another keyboard and back. Might have something to do with A2SD though ?
and yes, sometimes swype goes crazy and starts messing with the touchscreen multitouch badly.

Don't even have to type anything. If swype isn't "swyping" follow the following steps:
1) Long press on the text input box
2) Select a keyboard other than SWYPE
3) Long press on input box again
4) Reselect SWYPE

It happens to me every now and then. When you hold down the search button and hit certain keys it acts like a shortcut. Search + g = gmail. I don't have to restart the phone, just hit the search button to clear up the stuck key/input. Also I think you can disable these shortcuts in the settings menu.

[Q] Touchscreen Keyboard Issue

Every so often, the touchscreen is way off when I am typing meaning that when I press a key, it thinks I am pressing the screen nearly an inch to the left. So if i press delete, it presses space bar. If i try to push P it registers G on the keypad. The only way to fix it is to restart. It is usually fine for a while, sometimes days, before it happens again. I am using the stock LG Keyboard. Just didnt know if anyone else has run into this issue or how to get to stop happening.
