Has anybody notice that the swype keyboard dos not go to full screen.
This only happens on the att tap. I played I mean tested Tmoble & VW tab and both worked correctly.
I call Samsung and they told me that the att tad has an older version of swype on it and that I should return it for a new one, but all the ones I tried from att have the same problem. Att gave me a full refund.
If I reflash the tab will the swype keyboard work in full screen?

My Euro Tab with stock firmware wouldn't go "full-screen" in landscape with Swype, but flashing to a later firmware fixed it.

If Tmob's swype.apk will work on AT&Ttab, I could upload if you want.
I would like to try it. Thanks

Here we go. I'm not responsible if you install these and your Tab is not working.
Please don't ask them to "fix" it. I had a T-Mobile tab, and hated the extra finger movement. If you want to touch type, switch to a normal keyboard, leave the nice compact swype alone.

i noticed something with the swype as well (on sprint). sometimes the kb would just disappear. i can't get it to go back up so i can type. usually happens on browsing.
rcb, how did it go? Thanks!

This is actually a better solution for swype use than the "newer" firmware, IMO.

After the Euro ROm flash to have voice call back, Swype disappeared on my AT&T tab. Wonder if I could just use Tmob one. I think I should be okay but wanted to check since he asked to try.
haven't had a chance too do it but thanks. I will let you know.
Cant downgrade
I have a Rogers Galaxy Tab and also have the smaller fullscreen swype. My Swype version is newer than what is posted here, I have 2.7.49.12483.
If I forcibly remove swype and install the one here, I can tap-type but swype seems to have no language set (greyed out in swype options) so I cant 'swype'. On reboot the device magically reverts to my newer Swype with small keyboard in landscape.
I would love to find a solution that allows me to run the old Swype on my Rogers tab.
(as an aside, SlideIT keyboard runs fullscreen on Tab, but I'd still prefer Swype)
The new swype beta will resolve the screen issue I believe.

I wondered if anyone has tried SWYPE on the Desire and if there are alternatives to it? The videos of Swype look fantastic.
yep have it running on mine and it is perfect, much better than shapewriter, it does however stop the pinch zoom from working, this only seems to work with the stock keyboard.

Do you mean the pinch zoom doesn't work at all on the phone or just to enlarge the keyboard?
Where do you get swype for the android by the way?

As my android is german, I don't exactly know what the menu items are called, but it should be something similar:
1. Download the .apk file and copy it to your phone's SD card
2. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Check "Unknown Sources"
3. Use an app like ApkInstaller, browse the apk and install it
4. Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Check Swype
5. In an input field, long-press the field, choose "Input Method" and "Swype".
6. If you wish, change the Swype settings in Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Swype.
That's it.
thanks for the comment. I am looking for apkinstaller in the marketplace but it's not coming up. I tried installing a couple of other apk installers but they both failed....
I'd post the QR code, but as I am a noob, I'm not allowed to.
So google for "apkinstaller" and you'll find it.
If not: What's the error message you get?

Thanks... I used an EoE installer in the end and that worked like a charm... Got Swype working but it's been crashing quite a few times..... I wonder when they will open the beta or release this as it does look fantastic.
I use Astro, just do a search for this app, very easy once installed.

Swype for the Desire - Just get it.
Sorry if this is an old thread, but just cottened on to swype thanks to the Mobile Buzz widget informing me. I'm new to Android and only had my Desire 2 months.
It is app nirvana! I'm running the beta now (1.56.30), and I must say, when it runs out and I have revert back to the stock keyboard and tapping away, I'm gonna cry. It works so well. Has increased my typing speed at least 3-fold. (HTC Desire with stock 2.1 ROM).
The only thing I'd like to re-enforce that was covered in another post, is that it's not made very clear by the developers how to start using it! After installation, get to an input screen and do a long press, and select the 'input method' option and check the swype box. It will stick with your stock keyboard if you do not do this.
Will happily pay/donate for this when the full release comes out, and will be very surprised if this does not become the standard implementation for touch screen typing very soon. The swype keyboard also works well with the tradtional tapping method should you want to type something unlikely to be in it's database, so why not?
Very very impressed with it so far.
Edit: Noticed a slight weakness. Not sure if this is fair, but it is not so useful if you are using the phone in landscape mode. It works to a degree, but you have to stick with one finger per word/swype. Not easy if your thumbs are not up to reaching across your keyboard in landscape. Can be uncomfortable. Recommend sticking with fingers instead of thumbs! But for one-handed, portrait typing this is still the daddy.
the new beta version, what is the full version number? 1.56.30......., I already have a modded version 1.56.30.7625.t100 installed. also how long on average does beta version expire? After requesting for an invite ages ago, I finally got an email from them to use their beta. is it worth installing it??
On fascinate, the default android keyboard does not have the option to un-check. So, even if I installed other keyboards, only the default keyboard is on. Is there any way to disable the stock keyboard and use other keyboard that I want to use?
Thanks!
jus ordered my fascinate so still wait on mine but as far as I know you cant disabled but to switch it should be the same across the board on androids just tap ur text box then long press in the text box and it should pop up with ur options

In some cases, when you install a new keyboard manually (such as one of my favorites HTC_IME http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416), you have to go to Settings > Language & Keyboard and enable the checkbox next to the keyboard you installed.
After that, the instructions ksizzle listed above still apply.
Thanks!!! I do not have the phone with me right now, but I will try that!!
Coming from an HTC device, which has a keyboard that worked quite nicely, I was utterly disgusted by the horrible keyboard on this phone. Reading around a bit, I decided that Better Keyboard was the way to go, so I decided to shell out the $2.99 for it, and also downloaded a couple of the free themes. I now have a very good looking keyboard, which works 10 times better than the stock one.

It's called SilverBlue AndroidandMe. It's gray/silver keys over a medium blue background. It seems to fit well with the gray/blue theme that Samsung has implemented on this phone.
this is my first touch screen so what makes the htc and better keyboard better than the stock one?

Ah darn, guess I should have hunted a little more. Oh well, I'm happy with better keyboard, and you can apply themes to it, for added value. For the record, I think it works even better than the HTC keyboard, but I'd have to actually try it on this phone to make a fair comparison. All I know is that I can type way faster on this one than I've ever been able to on a touchscreen phone before.

I hope this gets figured out
You can turn swype off by changing the input mode. Just go into a spot where you can enter a message, do a long press, and then click on the input button. Its not the same keyboard as on the G2, but I prefer it to the swype keyboard.
I have the smart keyboard pro app and have it turned off. Mine makes me hit done then send when trying to send a message, and I'd rather not have the extra keystroke.
Sorry for not knowing: but is there a reason it doesn't work when you simply side-load the stock 2.2 keyboard? Appmonster shows that it installed, but I cannot load the keyboard at all.
Any ideas?
I have tested both the Sprint and AT&T Galaxy Tabs. While they are very similar, there is a stand out bug in the AT&T tab that is driving me crazy. The AT&T tab has an older version of Swype included. Here are the facts:
Sprint Tab
Swype v2.6.48.12228
AT&T Tab
Swype v2.6.46.11647
The major draw back to the AT&T Swype version is that in both portrait, and even worse in landscape, the keybaord is a fixed size. In portrait, there is gray bar dead space of about 1/2" on both the left and right sides of the keyboard, which means the buttons are a little smaller than on the Sprint Tab. This makes the keyboard a little less usable.
It's even worse in landscape mode. The gray bars on the left and right side are HUGE, and the keyboard is still the same size as in portrait mode.
Unwilling to accept this, I tried to boost the Swype version from the Sprint Tab, and put it on the AT&T Tab.
After rooting both devices, and installing Root Explorer, I went to the Sprint Tab, and grabbed:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
I then went to the AT&T Tab, and moved out the respective Swype and libSypeCore files, and copied in the ones from the Sprint Tab.
Upon going in to Swype's settings on the AT&T tab, I found that it "appeared" to have worked.
That was until I activated the Swype keyboard. I got a error message from Swype saying that this verison of swype was for another device and it would have limited functionality, please contact swype.
The keyboard DID look better. It looks just like it does on the sprint tab. However, "swyping" didn't do anything. You could run your finger around, and the line shows up, but then nothing types out.
Upon further review, I went back to the swype settings, and found that when I hit language, I couldn't get the pop open window to open allowing me to select a language. I am just trying to use the default English setting that it normally runs as.
So the question is, oh mighty gods of XDA, is there a way to get the sprint Swype working on AT&T's tab? Am I missing additional files from the Sprint tab? Is there a patch we can perform to get the Sprint version working on the AT&T version?
Attached are copies of both the AT&T and Sprint apk and lib files.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Do both versions take up the whole screen in landscape mode?

way to help out. OBVIOUSLY he likes swype. @OP:edit ur buildprop. therin lies ur issue.
trick the tab into thinking its a sprint tab. replace the build prop atnt values with sprint. this is how i got the sprint galaxy tab swype working on my viewsonic gtablet...even mic worked.
I noticed that the Swype layout changed with the newest Euro upgrade... any one else notice that.
Yep, now swype is fixed width on rom jm6. Version is 2.10.something.
Rogers tab is like AT&Ts in this regard.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849171
I dont get a limited functionality message, so not sure if I need edit my build prop... But I do hace the language issue.
As my Tab is Canadian, I have English (Canada), French (Canada) and what looks like korean in my locale/text settings, might be related...?
I want a working fullscreen swype so bad, please help if you have any ideas.
I on the other hand would like the compact version, less travel. I have the proper build.prop for the Sprint Version (fills the screen in landscape), I need someone's build.prop from an ATT Galaxy Tab, so I can go the other way.
Let me know if you can help me out, and I can post up the pertinent entries.
Do you guys think I would be able to get a full refund back from ATT because of this issue with the landscape swype functionality?

The swiping on the ASUS keyboard is absolute garbage compared to Swype. It might as well not even be there.

Too late for you now but the Amazon app store gave away flex9 keyboard which has swype functionality... in addition to voice dictation and handwriting.
swype feature is pretty good and works on the transformer.
I don't need a signature.
I have Swype and Dasur Slide it on mine and it is not a match made in heaven in the UK - as I have a conflict between the hardware keyboard and the software keyboard. It is very frustrating - as even though I have the software keyboards set to UK keyboards, this somehow alters the hardware keyboard to a US keyboard whne I re-dock. If anyone knows a way around this, I would be very grateful and the Asus trace keyboard is utter poo. I cannot use it. In fact I am not a big fan of Swype, I think Slide it is by far the best in its class.
I read a post here a few days ago showing how you could stop the dock keyboard being changed by the tab keyboard settings. Do search through the development forum. You need to move files around, etc.
I have Swype on mine but I don;t like it on the tab although it is great on my DesireHD. I use the Thumb keyboard which becomes natural very quickly.

Have the newest beta on mine as well, works great! What I tend to do is make use of the resizable keyboard, make ik smaller, position it on the right.
This way I can hold the tablet with my left hand, and swype with the right, without moving too much across the screen.
The fail in combination with the hardware keyboard is a shame, there is a solution, but you do need root, which I haven't got around to yet.
