Takes up only half the width of the screen...restored it from my Epic4G, is there a method to re-size the keyboard, or do I need to find/download the beta again from the browser (because I don't remember what email I used when I registered... )
BTW I'm using goodness with the xposed settings, curious if I could use that to get it re-sized, but all the settings I try seem to leave it unfazed.
When i used swype beta it fit the screen just like the stock keyboard.
Sent from a planet far far away.
Try downloading it again. Or clear data/cache of the keyboard app.

Go there, download the swype beta installer and go through the process. You'll have to sign up again for the beta.....but that's pretty common. It seems like the accounts are only good for like a month anyway.

I agree with tkepk181, it looks like it has to do with the fact that you restored the beta from a different phone. I always just re-download the beta from the official installer each time I change ROMs (about once-to-twice a week). It takes a little time, but I find that it reduces the amount of potential headaches associated with restoring a keyboard (especially if I'm changing DPI settings).
And besides, even if you can't remember your password to Swype beta, it's painless nowadays, just register a new e-mail and it's relatively immediate.
Hope this helped!
The Swype keyboard on the Epic 4G is sized down for a 480p screen resolution. Our S3s have 720p screen resolution. This is why the keyboard is tiny. It's incompatible with the xhdpi framework.
Best option is to find one that's themed the same in 720p resolution or download the new beta.
Yeah I downloaded it again, it's a bit different now, newer version I guess...no longer has dragon speech recognition, like I am used to, but at least swype still functions the same

You sure you got the swype beta? The latest full version of Swype doesn't have dragon voice recognition, but the latest beta does. I'm currently running it right now.
I think he downloaded the newest beta, but set Default the Stock Swype.

replace stock texting for handcent
get the 3d gallery apk
get xiialive lite

use the stock Power Control widget
install the voice to text with keyboard apk (post #38)

be sure to check out the accelerometer mouse control
Snowstorm weather widget works brilliantly here, I was sick of the stock weather app that tells me if it sunny now or raining, but to get a forecast was like getting water from a stone. This app uses a good data source and works very very well for all conditions.
Replace the stock keyboard with the HTC_IME modded keyboard, its the same but 10,000 times better
and last but not least..
definitely get AppBrain to replace the standard market app (and post ur complete applist HERE in this thread c'mon!)
anyone else got some killer apps or stock replacements include here in this thread

Know of a replacement for power control widget that takes up less space by any chance?
How do I go about getting the music player (cubed) I cant seem to find it on the market....
Search for abrantes might help
Worked out how to get the music player app, have to go through appbrain. My first thoughts using it were wow. It is such a nice music player and it'l even find your album art for you (which I have seen there are paid apps on the market for but this includes it free). The whole interface is very nice and I would definatly recommend it. Nice find OP.

I have installed this keyboard but cant seem to set it as the default one to use. How do I do that. Under settings and keyboard I dont see the option for Swype. There are swpye settings but I cant choose the swype keyboard as the one to use.
long click in an input field (f.e. browser), then you may choose swype? try that
Excellent, thanks.
great thread will try out a few
Not sure if I like Swype yet or not. It is kinda hard to type sometimes because it doesn't seem to pick up words, and it's really slow on manually typing. I can't type "still" on it! lol. Comes up as "Stol" Wtf is stol? Think I may be going back to the normal keyboard. This is a pretty good list though! Thanks! I had some of them, and added a few new ones too.
My pleasure guys, I love sourcing top notch soft/freeware so its only fair to spread the word.
I liked the idea behind Swype, it really works so technically I'm absolutely astounded by it. But I like to type the word, it just didn't feel comfortable for me to swipe the word. So I'm back to the stock keyboard with haptic feedback for now till something better comes along.

Look on the Swype website, they have videos on there on how to use it effectively.
For double-letters you basically circle the letter, or simply go out and return.
Well, I am going to keep Swype on there for now. No harm in having options for input methods. Will play around with it here and there and see how it goes.
My little tip - don't install the Playlist Alarm app. It will keep the phone in PartialWake state 100% of time (checked with the battery usage tool) and the result is very poor battery life.
I was charging every day and was starting to worry about the battery quality.
However, once I uninstalled it my battery life increased dramatically.
Thank you very much for the advise! I would give you my advise, but I don't think it would help anybody since the Desire is my first Android phone and I have had it for a few days.
Keep the good tips coming!

Instead of Swype consider using SlideIT keyboard. IMO a lot better and with multi-language support, which, at least for me as a Finnish citizen, is very important. Can be found from Android market as well.

I'm surprised the standard Galaxy Nexus / ICS doesn't have a new line / enter key.
Are there any keyboards that are very similar to the stock keyboard, but instead of a smiley key it has an enter button?

Well swiftkeyX learns from the way you type, so if you end up typing any different way, it'll try to "push" you in the direction it expects you to be typing. You get a more narrowly focused autocorrect that helps for your every day 100 character tweets and SMS, but hurts in your forum posts (or other long form typing).
I still always wonder why people still use "tap" keyboards when there are swipe versions
I've personally used Swype on my last 3 Android phones and i can't envision me using anything else. It's so simple, accurate and bloody quick.

This.
I have used swype on my past few Android devices and was always SURE that it was 10x faster than any 'tap' keyboard could ever be. Upon the discovery of Swiftkey X however, I was proven very wrong. Swiftkey is incredible fast and accurate. Yes it needs optimization for the GNex but still, it's faster than anything out there at the minute.

I wanted to say something to this effect earlier. I tried swiftkey before swype and they're like chalk and cheese to me. Swype seems so much better.
I use ICS themed swype from here: http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/
Swype is the best
I really dig SwiftkeyX. Predictions improved a lot when I linked it to my facebook and gmail accounts. Never could get the hang of swype but maybe I should give it another try.
I'd like to try swype for gnex. So where do you "download" it? Its not on the market place. I have slide it, which is garbage. Could someone put a link up for swype for the nexus?
Thanks guys.

hey there, this should be the latest...
but what you'll need to do is visit the swype beta page and sign up, you'll need your username and password and enter it when the app opens, this'll then download the GN version onto your phone then install the apk...
Can anyone confirm this?? Sorry mate, I'm just a little paranoid installing some random apk not from one of the moderators...Please dont take offence. Thank you very much for posting it up. I've thanked your post.

Swyping from my i9100 via Tt
Fairly early days in terms of my usage of it, but definite signs of improvement on what was already an indispensable tool. Seems quicker and slicker somehow. Haven't really been able to test out the word prediction facility yet.
They say it has a fresh new look, but it looks the same to me.

Perhaps true in the sense that it is still a keyboard but the size, colour and styling are both different - not radically, but somewhat.
As a matter of interest, you did enable Swype Beta, didn't you? For whatever reason the beta and the original both show as installed. You won't see the new look unless you enable the beta.
Can someone report the actual version number of this please, as I'm not sure if this is the version I already have installed
I have: 3.26.92.38965.38973.10637.I9100
Just installed it, it feels... bigger, the new Swype. I'd rather it be slightly smaller.
Also I noticed some new effects when you let go (it like shrinks and fades out) after swyping and it also seems to run a bit faster.
My version is 1.0.3.5809
Interestingly though the package name is nuance and not swype.
From the manifest.xml:
HTML:
<manifest android:versionCode="5809" android:versionName="1.0.3.5809" package="com.nuance.swype.input"
This must be their first release since acquiring swype.

Word removing is changed and I don't like it.
On non beta, if you hold the backspace button then word by word would get deleted, but now it's letter by letter. Damn!

How can you enable handwriting? I choose it from options but I couldn't find to run it.
All in all this is an awful release in my opinion.
Ability to delete words in the original dictionary is a HUGE improvement, and I also love the option to have popups.
But then I noticed that words you just typed get erased immediately if you press backspace, but I just though well, I guess I can get used to that even though it's kind of a stupid change to make.
Then I noticed that backspace now erased letter by letter instead of words by word.
THEN I noticed that words get auto-added, meaning that every time you type out a captcha or feel like randomly saying something like "wazzaaaaaaa" to a friend, you'll involuntarily be getting those words added to your dictionary!
AND THEN I noticed that you can't add the "" and the "" smileys to your dictionary. A feature which I usually use at least once per sms!
I don't see why they feel like they have to decide for us whether we want to erase word by word or letter by letter, or whether we want words to auto-add or not!?
Also, I've been swyping this entire post, and making a capital i is near impossible, and a capital A IS impossible. Also the marker seems to have a life of it's own most of the time. Horrible release.
Back to the last Swype beta for me, good that I had a backup...
I just hope they bring a new beta with the old features soon before this one expires.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
Wish I had a backup. It's more accurate by far but messaging is annoying, the letter marker seems to jump and it creates duplicate when everything a new line on everything. Also, i hate the send key being replaced by smilies.
Swype Full
Hi all,
I recently moved from Stock-rom (in which I had a full version of swype - 3.26 I think). Is there a way that I can extract my Swype from the Stock-rom and move it to the custom rom? (I have Nandroid for the stock).
I've tried to backup with TB in the stock, and restore in the custom but it didn't work. I also tried to copy the data\app files & data\dalvik-cache & data\data\com.android.swype.inputmethod & of course - the apk.
It all didn't work.
Any advices?
Thanks.

At system\lib, originally, I had nothing that relates to Skype.

No other place it was originally placed.

Try deleting any current version of Swype beta (and the installer), then go back to Swype's beta page and download the new installer - this will in turn pull down the new Swype beta. Nice improvement - new features, smoother and so far I've run into no bugs...

Yes...this will expire, don't remember how long. As well as being smoother, the other features are cool too, definitely worth reading the release info and trying all the features out.
Back to being my favorite keyboard. Current wish list:
- Fix spacing after period
- Allow use of native ICS voice input that types as you speak instead of Dragon
- Skins!
- Add a ".com" key

anyone know what the last or best version was before the auto ads dictionary? I love Swype but their current betas automatically add words and I hate it.
I like the predictive text but I liked it when you had to tap "add to dictionary"
Any help appreciated because the one I brought over from my old phone auto capitalizes and on bootup throws a fc message. It works but sometimes glitches out. not picky about color themes etc.

not sure what you're talking about...
latest version is quite nice and almost everything it's adjustable via settings, including the personal dictionary
www.swype.com
register to have backup and sync to swype server
I have an account but I tried the latest update about a month ago and whenever you type a weird word and click it, it adds it to my dictionary whereas before after clicking it would then ask "add to dictionary" and you could ignore it. Can you turn that particular feature off? Without turning anything else off?
I can adjust my personal dictionary now I just don't want auto add of words just because I use it one time...
just don't tap it lol
if I type a word that isn't in the dictionary,
AND then I continue by typing a space or other punctuation, it will ask ..
but if the word you have just typed is the selected word.. at left, in gold, you don't have to tap it to use it ...
in fact, since it is already the current word, tapping it is like telling swype to add it
nope.. I can't get it to add automatically, lol
maybe you have old version
My version is beta 1.3 ... shows as 1.3.5.10176 in application manager
I have auto correct OFF!
Yea but I want auto correct on except when I tap it to say yes use this word then ask me whether I want it or not.
My current version and previous versions I use work like this. Just want the latest of this generation...running 3.26.92
My version is the latest official beta ...
yours seems to be a version built for a manufacturer.. pre-installed on the phone?
if so, it's not a great idea to use it on different phone
I understand what you're saying about how it is and what you like, but the official beta is quite advanced
does yours sync and backup dictionary to server?
allow handwriting?
have "living language"?
have Swype connect?
receive notification and updates from Swype?
well anyway.. you can always go to their website
and post your question in their forums
