Anybody Else...

I was writing replies back this morning from the xda app and after I would send one it would freeze, force close, then disable my on screen keyboard. It was a global matter as well because everything i went into that had a text field would not let me use the keyboard. The only way to correct it immediately was to turn the screen to landscape and then back again.
Just curious if anyone else has had this happen.

I have had the same issue. No idea how to resolve.

I wonder if it's swype specific. We should test with some other keyboards.

It isn't because i'm using the stock Android keyboard and this happened. I am going to switch to swype and see if I can replicate the issue.

I had this problem a week or so ago. I found a thread on here about the issue. Uninstall and reinstall tapatalk/xda-app.

Having problems with Fascinate Swype

When the swype keyboard is first brought up after going into the messaging application, it starts normal with the QWERTY keyboard up, but as soon as I start swypeing it switches to the numbers and I have to manually switch back, this is getting quite annoying, so if anyone knows why this keeps occurring I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
Thank you,

Do you have the newest swype version (2.15.56.14870.t100) such as the one that came in jt1134's super clean rom .9? This seems to be a common occurence. I too share the frustration

I am using the newest version of swype that I installed myself. I have not had any of these problems. If you are able to I would try installing that version. There are instructions somewhere if you search for them. I am not running any custom roms or kernels.

if you close swype while the numbers are up it will revert back to numbers when you open again. I noticed this too and tested my theory and was true, it reopens to what it was closed on, so like on passwords if it's like pass12 and you hit submit or close the keyboard without switching back it will go back to the number one first

I completely removed Swype and installed the latest Swype beta through Swype Installer and I have the same issue. Very frustrating.

This is the reason I've been having problems it seems, I never realized how often I left the keyboard in the symbols part after I put smiley faces or exclamations.

yea I got real annoyed by it to lol, but I just deal with it

lol. I've seen this on the new swype. Also my keyboard randomly switches to all caps sometimes. Weird.

To be fair, Swype's website explicitly says, when you download the beta installer, "Do not install on phones that came with Swype pre-installed."
So while I personally ignored their instructions and am running the latest version without any problems, perhaps there's a legitimate compatibility reason they said that.

how did you get it to install on the fascinate. } Edit: <blah blah blah SNIP>
Nevermind...
/system/lib and renamed libSwypeCore.so was keeping me from installing the swype beta.
Didnt notice it first time I tried

Swype caps, caps, then lower case?

I had DL09 and had this problem and it bothered me, so I switched down to DJ05 cause it had the same fixes and more compatiable with everything, and now I'm having the same problem. It just started happening like 2 days ago. Is there a fix for this?

Mine does it too. It didn't do it until I installed the original SMS app so the little puzzle piece would work.

I've been noticing the same thing but it only happens in the browser searching.

Mine does it in the messaging, market, and browser app

I have this problem too. I've also had many problems with my dictionary. I'll add words and they will be there for a bit then disappear. The most frustrating thing I deal with is words that I have accidentally typed in, delete, and than they will magically appear again a day or so later. The specific word that bothers me is "ti"
I have deleted the word numerous times, cleared data/cache numerous times and installed clean roms/kernels to no avail. I even tried a totally new keyboard and it seemed like there was a problem with that dictionary too. I'm at a loss and gave up.

Try going to manage Applications and then clearing the data fit Swype.

I have the same problem. The data wipe did not resolve the issue, but clearing the data for gmail seems to have fixed the sync issues that I was having so thanks for the tip. The only fix that I have seen work for the caps issue is to install a different keyboard. I like camalot's as they seem more responsive than stock.
Also, big thanks to all the devs and good people on this forum who have made this phone awesome. This is my first smartphone and I would have been lost without the kind folks here.

I flashed superclean, 1230 nonvoodoo, and put the latest swype beta in...works great!

Same issue: all caps starting a message in aosp messaging app.. It seems like a bug that is being reported in the swype beta forums..
Be nice to have it fixed.. Oh! - yeah.... beta

I have the same problem, on DL09 using Handcent, so it's not app-specific.

yeah I have this issue too and I'm using the latest beta. It is not app specific. Seems to occur randomly.

What Ive noticed is ths happens when the word picker pops up for the first word and I continue to swype without making a choice. Maybe that is the cause? Program would see the new word as the first when started, as the first isn't completely entered yet.

This is exactly the reason, or at least a way to reproduce 100% of the time. OEM DI01 did not have the problem, OEM DL09 does. Dont' know more than that.
I posted a bug on the Swype forum 2 weeks ago.

Messaging app opens up different app?

Had this happen quite a few times.....sometimes when I click on the messaging app it opens up a random app that I have open in the background.....can't seem to fix it...occured on both launcher pro and adx or w/e the other launcher app is called....any solution?

This has been reported before. I remeber once, someone had set a swipe function accidentaly on their messaging app shortcut in the dock, and that was the culprit. I also remember this happening to people on touchwiz launcher, but it's never happened to me. If the swipe thing isnt the problem, the I would reccomend downloading an app such as Handcent sms, go sms, or chomp sms. Hope something in this post helps you.

Have you tried restarting? I know it sounds stupid but a lot of weird glitches can be solved by a simple reboot. If that doesn't help a cache/davlik wipe might.
Texted while driving

A restart does fix it....in fact an task manager end all works as well....just kinda annoying. If it happens again ill try a different SMS and see if I have better luck.

Normally this only happened on DI18, I never saw it happened after the 2.2 builds came out.

this is quite annoying, sometimes I have to hit the back hit hundreds of times, backing out of my entire history of the day at times. It happens with other apps too. But messaging is my most used one. I think it is related to holding home, and selecting the text app while in another app.

I've had this issue too... welcome to samdroid, the beautiful world where samsung has changed everything and broke it

Happens to me all the time to. Have to reboot. Only started after 2.2 never on 2.1. Wish someone could look into this as I know nothing about phone software. I did not use the ota to update I did a .exe update so it was clean.

I've experienced inside the messaging app, it'll sometimes open up somebody else's conversation. I believe it's just a glitch or my phone lagged at the time I pressed the screen. Good thing I notice it before I sent unnecessary texts. haha

Swype keyboard not swiping?

I installed the Swype keyboard and it was working fine for a few days, but now it will not "swype". It responds to pressing individual keys but dragging my finger across the keyboard no longer has any effect.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Which version of Swype did you install? The open beta?

this happens, if you have it to apps2sd it can cause this and other issues, as well could be due to language package if install, as said try to unselect swype and re-select it, as well if you get the apk swype restore you can restore your original swype from your nandroid

I tried switching to another keyboard, then back again, but it didn't help. I can also confirm that I have not moved it to the SD card.
I have un-installed it and re-downloaded the beta and it is now working again. I'll see how long this works for....

This is a known problem with Swype, and happens every time you reboot the phone. Try un-checking Swype in Settings>Language and keyboard, then re-checking it. You will also need to re-select Swype as the input method by long press in (almost) any text input field, until the Input Method option comes up.

Might be only on the latest version of Swype, I don't remember it happening on older Swype builds (but not certain). On the latest Swype open beta version, it does this on several ROMs for me (stock, Virtuous, CM7), and another on XDA mentioned its a 'known issue'.

it is a known issue, it actually depends what swype you get when getting it from the installer there is 2 options full and eng/spanish, i had issues when i got full on my g2 and mytouch slide, when i did eng/spanish all was ok except it Fc one or twice fix permission fixed and working since then

I've tried installing both full and Eng/Span, and they both have the same bug for me (no swiping after reboot).

I've had this problem several times. Try pressing any text field until the "input method" message pops up. Select "touch input", and the repeat the procedure now selecting "Swype". It always works for me.
I'm using rooted stock sense with visionary/gfree and Launcher Pro Plus.
Hope it helps.

just being funny..
But from what I understand.. Swiper no swiping?
