I use Swype and sometimes when I open the keyboard to text I will l lose Swype functionality but I can type normally. I have to press back to close the keyboard and then it works normally. This happens randomly and no setting seems to fix it. This happens on cm10 and cm10.1. Anyone know how to fix or have this problem? I have tried reinstallation and update.

That's a swype issue. I've seen it on cm 7 as well. Use the latest beta and bug report. I haven't used swype in ages plus android 4.2 has a swype like keyboard function which works.

I've installed Swype beta 1.3 on my incredible since day one running cm10 without any problems. Swype beta showed an update available today to 1.4 and the only way I was able to upgrade was to uninstall the old version and download a new installer from the web site. maybe that upgrade would fix the bug. if not, I agree with tiny on reporting the bug.

If it makes you (OP) feel any better, I have seen the same behavior as you, but all the way back to when my phone was stock. It's just a funny with Skype.
I just stepped up to Tiny's CM10.1, and installed the Swype 1.4.0 beta. Haven't used it long enough to tell it that behavior is fixed (but I'd be kinda surprised...it's been around a long time). At least it doesn't happen too often (at least for me) and there's a simple workaround.

Has anyone else had serious issues with the new chrome beta? I tried running it on my icecoldsandwich rom and it caused my phone to reboot twice in a row. I know its a beta and will inherently have issues, but I've never seen an app, especially a browser, act this poorly

I have not had any problem with it on aospX ics rom.

Neither have I. I even deleted and reinstalled chrome, but no dice. It just freezes, turns back after about 15 seconds and reboots.
The last time it happened it messed with my app drawer. When the phone restarted only one app showed in my drawer, so I had to do another reboot to fix that.

Update* After it being recommended that I clear my caches on my phone, I reinstalled chrome. This time I found that it works with every site I tried except for boingboing.net, which makes the phone reboot every time. Does anyone here have any ideas why this would happen? It's not exactly like Boingboing would be particularly hard to render

I'm running it on Virtuous Quattro RC3 without problem by itself. Tried boing boing and it works.
However, I find that having Chrome beta running cause some other apps to FC. (Can't even launch until I manually kill Chrome)

For me it's working nicely on IceColdSandwich 1.4.0
No problem at all on IceColdSandwich 1.5.0,
even the reported "pink"graphics glitches are (allmost) gone
with the very latest 1.5.test3 by LordClockaN.
Well frankly there are better browsers than chrome out there..
P.S. - no issues for me also on lord's ics latest test build

I can't find a working copy of Swype for the GS3. I'm running CM9 nightlies because I can't find a 100% working Rom.
Does anyone have an apk that is fully working?
I've included a screenshot of what happens when I use swype = tiny.
Go to the Swype home page and you can enroll in beta testing which allows you the full up to date program for 6 months or so, and when your license runs out all you have to do is wipe data and you're good for another 6 months

I've never stopped to ask myself that honestly..I would assume that they are not fully pleased with the current standings enough to call it a full release..

There will never be a stable version in the traditional sense. They consider the version OEMs pay for "stable" and the beta is a way people who buy a phone without OEM-preloaded Swype to still experience that and in return it sends Nuance usage statistics anonymous about how it's used, crash logs, etc. Swype will probably never have a standalone Play Store version if they keep on the way they have been going. However, with Nuance's recent acquisition of Swype and how they've added in all of FlexT9's features I could see it happening eventually since Samsung and HTC seem to have pulled out of preloading Swype and have copied its functionality into their own keyboards and no longer pay Swype royalties to licence it.

I'm running the latest Swype Beta on 081412 nightly. Works flawlessly. I recommend signing up with Swype over installing a .apk because the Swype Beta Installer will let you know about new updates versus waiting for someone to post up an updated .apk.
This was posted by a user called Glace at the Google Play:
I was excited by all the features and customization of this browser, but using SwiftKey Keyboard, inserting a space into a textarea scrolls the page down and doesn't insert the space. I even tried copying a space and pasting it in and it did the same thing. That makes this browser useless for my purposes, which is a shame.

I expirience the same problem on Paranoid Android 2.13 with both Swype and the stock keyboard. On my Galaxy S with Android 4.0 does that bug not exist.
Could somebody else test if the could reproduce the problem? Please post what ROM you use.

Same problem here. I messed around with the settings a little bit but found no such solution to the problem.

[Q] What ROM do you guys use as your Daily Driver?
Also provide the hyperlink to the explanation/download page if you would be so kind for other users.
I'm still running the old Stock GB AT&T Rom, since it has no bugs, is smooth enough for me and doesn't need regular updates.
But as soon as Jellybean becomes Issueless, im sure to update my OS, altough it is its current state no where near a daily driver for me :< .
I use lite rom, is not in the list. is a great rom. I like JB but still i cant use as a daily
Where's CM10.1?
Look in the development forums

I think he meant where was it in the voting list. I presume that is what the (x) after the cm10 entry is meant to mean, though
I have been using cm 10.1 for a month. No issues. Look like a daily driver to me.

The rom developers say that the Skype issue is a issue with JB, maybe one of them will do a workaround?
I tinkered with JB and there were some issues with it that didn't make it a DD for me just yet. I think I will end up with a LiteRom style ICS ROM until JB gets ironed out.

So no daily driver for me. I'm thinking of buying another phone to keep it as a daily, people have started complaining about my phone being unreachable most of the times.

You'll probably be waiting a very long time, as jb isn't 100% on any device. Its daily driver ready now. If your talking about Skype, that's not an issue, its an I wish. No one can make it compatible with every app on the market.

Yes, the rom is very fast and stable, but they say that the problem is not only skype, is in all app that makes call over wifi, for me for example, i use magicjack a lot. For a lot of people is ready to use as daily, but for other not for that issue.
But still the rom is great, i try it one day and like it a lot.

i would be happy with 85-90%... wish or not, having something work with atleast the popular apps is something to shoot for... that would be like he i made this rom for you all, you can use all the stock apps, look in the app store, but hey none of them work if you install them... kinda defeats the purpose...
before you start your rant, i can care less if skype works on the phone...

dman, it's not a problem with Skype, it's a problem in the ROM or kernel... if any app has the microphone open, ALL playback is distorted.
If you don't see it as a priority, that's allright, we understand. But this denial is insulting.

Enjoying using dman's JB but gotta take it off later this month when driving more. As a Californian with the handsfree law, without Bluetooth it's too awkward have use as a literal daily "driver" (oh the irony)
I'm on DMAN's UCLH2 ICS as a daily.
Tried a few jelly bean roms. If only there was a JB rom where the blutooth and camera worked I would be happy enough to use it as a daily.
I've been using Dman's PACMAN Rom pretty much since it came out Dec 17. With Covenant Kernel v3 and thegreatergood's work with keyboard lights, everything on my ROM seems to function.
I flashed recently to the new JB LiteKernel (Jan13) and everything is working like a treat. The only reason I left ICS is because I got tired of waiting for GPS to lock.
The only issues I have :
Some apps disappear after reboot, in Titanium backup I choose the option to move the app to internal storage and it stays.
Audio plays back way slow in Google Now, Skype, and RingCentral (roothorick is right, there is an issue in the rom or kernel.)
Takes a few clicks of the power button to get the phone to wake up for me and the screen to turn on.
Physical Keyboard in Browser, can't use any symbols or numbers.. real pain when entering passwords having to use virtual keyboard.
Battery .. I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of a charge. When I'm on the ski hill with everything disabled except GPS and AlpineReplay, I get great usage... Maybe its that I have 2 email accounts on Push or wifi is turned on all day long... on my Galaxy Ace, though, I'd get 17 - 20 hours no problem.
- Panoramic Camera works,
- Bluetooth works (and after a reboot I still see my pairings)
- Keyboard lights and bln lights work.
- All keyboard keys work exempt www. and .com which is documented.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the apps that disappear have something to do with the storage mounting... everything worked in is when the interal sd was /sdcard and external was /sdcard/external_sdcard .. Though this was in ICS, and I'm not a dev I can't confirm ... but I Just have a feeling.. perhaps bluetooth is in this as well ?
I played with rootbox, but some of the display settings (creating an mms with the phone in landscape I couldn't see the text box).
I've used LiquidSmooth and CAMP but I don't like that the battery stats weren't working.
I had used CM10 beta, liked it before switching to PAC but I really enjoy all the additional features of PACMAN vs. CM10 so ... here I am
I'm having a weird issue in that I can't input text on a particular website (MyMathLab - it's where I do my math homework). The site lets me log in and click on links, but when I get logged in and pull up the math problems, I click in the box where you're supposed to enter text, the cursor blinks, but the keyboard no longer pops up for me to type anything. I'm using Swiftkey, but I also have (and have tried to use) google keyboard and hackers keyboard.
I used to be able to do my homework on this site using my phone, but I'm not sure why the keyboard, regardless of which one I use, no longer pops up. I spoke to a rep from the site who says nothing has been updated recently and the site is supposed to be optimized for mobile. Anyone have any suggestions?
Its probably cos the site might have been updated and no longer supports smartphone keyboards. I know that cos I also do homework on my maths. And can't do stuff on my phone. If its not that then maybe you need a new browser and flash player. I suggest Mozilla Firefox or Google chrome. Hope it helps.

I've tried all the available browsers. I bet it is the site - the guy I talked to didn't seem too sure of himself when he said there hadn't been any updates.
Just an update in case anyone runs into this - the FlashFox browser fixed this issue for me.
You can right away.
