It seems to always bring up a menu of words to guess when I use it. I don't have predictive text enabled, so could anyone help me out ?
Bump, or is there no way to do this?
Swype setting word choice to never show
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I thougt it was annoying too at first, but after I got used to it, it made sense. If it has the correct word, you just keep swyping. If it's wrong it's a simple press to correct. If it's completely wrong, press back and re-swype the word. Then again, I am a horrible swyper, so that may be why I need all the help I can get.

I'm still having problems with my swype dictionary not actually deleting words even after I delete them. My MAIN one is my swype will type ti instead of to and it drives me insane!
I have tried running both the new and old swype with the same result. Any ideas?

are you deleting the word by highlighting the offending then pressing the "swype" button, or by deleting it from the user dictionary?
Whenever I delete by highlighting, then pressing the "swype" button, they stay gone.
Fyi the easiest way to highlight the word is to type it then swype from the "swype" button to the "sym" button then press "select text" then use the arrows.
If that doesn't work then I don't know what to say
Yeah I am deleting it by highlighting it and pressing the swype key.

Are you doing it from the messaging app? It didn't work for me doing it that way, I had to remove a word after highlighting it in the address bar or an email or something.

This may be a stupid question, but are you ALWAYS swyping(word?) or do you sometimes type without dragging your finger? I'm constantly deleting the same words because my thumbs like to typo when I type vs swype. I have noticed that if it's a typo, the swype dictionary loves to store it then throw it out there when you are actually using swype. It's apparently very new word hungry.

thats the only way i know how to add words to the dictionary for swype is to manually type the words in however, the words that im deleting are not being typed after deletion and they still are showing up. i dont understand what would be causing this.

That's really weird. I guess maybe you may want to flash your phone back to stock and redo your rom. maybe something is corrupt. Other than that I'm at a loss. Sorru I couldn't be more of a help.
Does anyone know if it's possible to setup auto-correct on the hardware keyboard? Or at least make sure it's consistent? Sometimes it seems like it'll auto correct some words (like now "im" automatically changes to "I'm") but others times notsomuch.
Anyone else noticing this? Anyone else annoyed by it?

It is in an odd place under touch input - I first read that as on-screen keyboard, but in my searching I happened across it.
Glad I could help
If you have your on screen keyboard changed to swype those settings don't do anything, if it isn't obvious.
Correction and prediction doesn't work in the HTC messaging app no matter what the settings.

This may explain a lot. My ROM does not provide me with any option other than "Touch Input."
I have been trying to get back that Blackberry autocorrect feeling, but the other threads that suggest hacking the reg to switch compime for et9ime always screwed up my hardware keyboard.
If you use SwiftKey you'll get auto correct with hardware keyboard.

Swift key if the way to go with hardware key board... It's amazing. I use keyboard manager to have swift key in land scape and swype in portrait. Perfect combo

anyone else using swype?
try double tapping a word to edit; you can't click the words in the list due to the new feature in 2.3.3 where you double tap a word and it goes to cut/copy menu.
frustrating if you use swype, nice if you use the normal keyboard and you get a word totally wrong.
comments?
Just tried that out it is annoying but I didn't use that way to edit anyway, I put the cursor in the word I want to edit and press the swype button. Idk if this is what anyone else does but works for me.

As spoken about by the ui lead designer in his engadget interview, they want to move away from waiting (pressing and holding).
While this is indeed annoying for swype users, the change is for the good of the entire text entry experience in android.
As an alternative, tap the word you want to select, then tap the swype key to select the word to edit. It only makes things a little slower.
I know I have seen this discussed but my searches didn't find them so I am asking now.
I was trying to complete a form in a website this morning but I couldn't get the standard keyboard to pop up. Has anyone found a way to do this? By the way, I am trying to use the stock browser as well.
Thanks.

So I take it when you click/touch on a form field, the cursor appears but the keyboard does not?
Try going to Settings >> Language & Input >> Under "keyboard Settings", chose "Current input method" >> Then select "English (US) Keyboard."
Give that a try and see if that works.
please delete. posted wrong place.
Thanks for the tip. That is my default. I was hoping there would be a manual method for bringing the keyboard up.

Are you looking for some kind of keystroke/tap that brings up the keyboard whenever? The only thing I know of that brings up the keyboard is clicking on a text entry box or something else that will take text. Some applications(like a remote desktop client) have a menu option to bring up the keyboard, but as far as I know there isn't really a way to just "summon" the keyboard when it isn't needed.
Have you used a bluetooth keyboard lately? I notice that, unless you have the settings right, even when the bt keyboard is off, sometimes no onscreen keyboard comes up.
No. I've not used a Bluetooth keyboard. I am trying not to need one.
Yes. I was hoping I could have a keystroke to bring it up. The application I was trying to enter text in is a Yahoo crossword puzzle. I do those when I am bored and just tried it Friday. The puzzle comes up nicely but one cannot enter text into the grid.
Thanks

The default google swipey keyboard (whatever its called) always corrects this to loll. its driving me but**** insane. can someone please please PLEASE tell me how to get the stupid keyboard to start recognizing lol?
pet peeve #2? How the hell do you type email addresses? I swipe my name, @, the email name..then when i try to put '.com' it puts a damn space before the "."
super annoying. i have to back up and manually type the letters one at a time every single time.
is there like a tips and tricks somewhere? I have bad habits carried over from swype i guess..i also miss having a gesture (loop) to capitalize a word.
Go to your personal dictionary and add lol. That should fix that for you.

thanks..i've tried doing that right from the keyboard and failed..i guess i need to go find that setting under preferences...?
also if i paste the wrong text into messenger..i have to sit and hold the delete key while it slowly erases it 1 character at a time before i can type something new.
any way to clear the entire message area with one gesture or click so i can type something else?
this is very annoying when i kept trying to copy sometihng from a webpage and the wrong text kept being pasted into the message
The first 1 can be found under Settings /language & input/personal dictionary
The only way I know how to delete the whole message box is too long press the message box highlight everything in the box and cut it. It's just as easy to use the delete key though.

just type capital L, capital O, capital L. Click the blue LOL, click it again. Press OK. Done.
I've already done it to mine. And I probably should have done as mentioned and taken it as an opportunity to stop typing it.

I agree with this. Especially considering 90% of the time when someone types "LOL," they're not really laughing out loud.
I'd also suggest you use SwiftKey.
