i'm having issues with swype i have beta access and the installer but i've noticed that it works when it wants to when i swype a word the keyboard flashes and is outlined in blue.... has this happened to anyone else?
If so is there a fix? open to suggestions for a fix i don't want to use the regular keyboard anymore......
If this happened to me, I would just switch keyboards by long pressing a text box and change the input method to the stock keyboard and then again to change it back to swype.
Would fix the problem for me, it seems that you might get it more often though. If the problem persists after doing this and after restarting your phone, maybe you should reinstall.
Yeah I've been doing that but its kinda messed up

I dont know since when this problem persisted but the keyboard on my desire is weird.
Everytime i try to type fast, there's other letter i don't touch appear in the screen as if i touch it. Mostly the letters appear are y, g, and v.
Knowing that, i then did some test. I tried to type fast only using the letters near my left and right thumbs like a/s and l/k and i did it continuously. As the result, i could see the letter g touched itself while i never touched it AT ALL and then it appeared on the screen.
Then i tried the other line by touching q/w and o/p and the letter y appeared just like the letter g.
That also happened with the third line with the letter v.
This happens everytime i use keyboard (messaging, notes, email, etc)
I dont know if the ROM i'm using causes this because I have tried using some ROMs (not all yet but plenty)and the only one I did not experience this is when i'm using Open Desire ROM. But I dont like Open Desire because I want Sense on it.
I also believe the applications did not cause this since this problem appears just after i flash the ROM and havent installed any application yet
Anybody knows why it happens and how to solve the problem?
FYI my Desire is rooted with Unrevoked way and right now using Lambros ROM.
Any reply is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit:
After trying using Open Desire again, it looks like the problem also occurs with it. I also have calibrated the keyboard but the problem's still there.
Still waiting for anyone can help.
Hi!
I have the exact same problem! (I'm using standard Froyo on a non-rooted Desire).
There's something else, when I type faster than usual and the random letters start appearing the backspace key stops working. I can't delete anything at all and the only solution is to retract the keyboard and then bring it up again. If I do that it works perfectly... until it starts acting up again!
My solution? Well.. I tried Swype and it seems to work just fine! Sure, it's WAY different but it's worth it. It just works flawlessly. And if I don't want to swype I can always type normally, it works for that as well and it doesn't malfunction like htc's keyboard.

Thank you very much for the reply and the solution.
Me have the same problem with the backspace either. I will try using swype although i don't use english often for text messaging or else.
Still waiting for other input which might have another solution without installing third party application or add-on.
So does the official froyo cause this? because i haven't had a problem like this when i was using eclair based custom ROM or N1 froyo based custom ROM as i recall
better keyboard is fab !!!!!! and it works very well typing fast .. the swype thing is rubbish , as I cant spell very well...

Well it doesn't matter any application you want to use since that's not the main concern. I'll try Better Keyboard as well. But when I tried to search it in the market with keyword 'better keyboard', I couldn't find it because too many add-ons and the application itself was beneath them. Can anyone help me with it? I can also not find Swype since there's only one application appear when I type 'swype' on the market and it's not Swype
this is beacause desire has no real multitouch.
any keyboard will have same issue
Better keyboard is a paid app. Can't see those if you are not living in eligible country...

I see. I tried the one in blapkmarket but it's still the same
It's been so long and i finally got the solution after all this time.
My friend told me that this problem is caused by multitouch error and that means hardware problem. He had the same problem but his is HTC Hero.
Then, I tried changing my ROM to MIUI J-Style 10.29 and unexpectedly the problem is gone. From that, I at least can conclude that this is not hardware problem. Anybody having similar problem can try having MIUI for the device's ROM. But maybe some Android-freak dislike it because it has iOS look.
This is something I've just noticed in the past few days but it's driving me crazy. When I try to use an exclamation point on the hard keyboard, it only gives me the period. Then, when I hit backspace to delete that, it deletes my entire message. It's like my phone knows I hit the function button, but it isn't registering the exclamation point. I'm rooted, using SRF 1.1.1. Not sure why it's doing this, but I don't think it's ROM specific. Please help!

UPDATE: Turns out the SwiftKey Beta was the culprit. Changed my keyboard to anything other than Swiftkey, and my hardware keyboard worked as it should.
From time to time, I will notice that when using the keyboard, it will not type out the word I want. It seems to be a bug with this phone. All I am trying to do is text and then I have to resort to finger press each letter just to get a word out.
Anybody else notice this problem? Any solutions on how to fix or is this just a matter of Samsung just sucking?
hey i noticed this too..once in a while it will stop typing and not show anything even tho its typing...doesnt happen a lot but its annoying when it does...so far i just type what i wanna say and hit send hopefully they fix this
btw im using swiftkey 3
I am using what came with the phone. Everything is stock.

download smart keyboard from the play store, it's awesome!!
First day with the one x, first thing I did was install swype, the correct way using the official swype installer. I enabled swype, and everything was fine. Then about an hour later without even rebooting or anything, swype was usurped by the sense keyboard. Since then I have been unable to make swype the default keyboard despite the fact that it is turned on. The sense keyboard continues to load instead.

same: i have the swype beta installed and it doesn't pop up when i go to type something. i also have swiftkey 3 installed...not sure if that's hindering it or something.
when your keyboard is activated, you should be able to select input method in notification list

Yes, just pop down notification centre and select your keyboard.
It's working great on my one X, I love the themes and they keyboard feels far better than swiftkey.
that seems to work, but i think only temporarily. i will get back to you in a few days. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue, the solution above only works temporarily, but after a while it goes back to Sense.
Hello, so this has been recently happening to me. I have my default keyboard set to the swipe keyboard but whenever I use my keyboard it always goes back to the default keyboard. I've tried with other keyboards but I get the same results. I have to swipe the notification bar and select the keyboard I want to use but when I use my keyboard again it just goes back to the default one. Help?

try locating the keyboard app apk file. use this to install the keyboard instead of downloading from the play store. it will stick. at least this was the issue on my wife's stock S3.
I'm having a similar issue with my S3. Every time I reboot, it defaults to the Samsung keyboard even though I use Swiftkey. I can't root it because it's my work phone and my workplace doesn't allow rooted phones. Does anybody know why this happens or if there is a fix for it?
