I really feel like evoking a tune from Dora the Explorer here, but I'll save yall from experiencing the odd effects babysitting my nephew!
Anyway, I got in on the recently re-opened Swype beta as recently as yesterday, as I remember, and today i'm not able to swype to type anymore. I'm typing this post from the Swype keyboard by traditional "pecking." There is also no word prediction happening, despite it being checked in the swype menu.
Am I overlookimg something. Has anybody else had this happen? Thanks!

I had this a week a go.
It started happening and then i don't know how or why it popped up saying that swype wasn't licenced for my device.
So i just uninstalled the keyboard and went to the skype installer and reinstalled it.
job done
It happend to me to I just reinstalled it and its working again

Yeah, I thought I remembered this happening to me last time I had the keyboard. But instead of being smart like yall, I just deleted it. Oddly enough, this time out started working again.

I'm having the same problem as well. I've noticed that it comes and goes. My quick fix is toggling input method.
On Miui I haven't been able to ever get Swype to actually Swype.

Swype version 2.4.44 won't swype, but it will accept keystrokes.
Old versions of swype 1.6 or so seem to work fine.
Anyone been able to get a new version of Swype to work for them? Especially on an HD2?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, but my Swype no longer auto spaces correctly. Rather than adding a space every word, it has started to add a space every 2 words. I now have to hit the space bar after every word I type. I have reinstalled Swype and it still has not fixed the problem. I have done a search on XDA and the net and still cant find a solution. Any thoughts from you guys?
I have the same problem. It's what made me stop using it. The only way mine would fix (and I know this sounds weird) is to delete all my messages. I moved on and now I'm using Resco Keyboard. Much better than the stock kb.
Yeah I ended up doing a hard reset because I was having so many problems with the phone. Now everything is back to normal. I might check out Resco Keyboard.
Why don't you switch to the latest version of Swype? It's great!
v3.19.20.20.6343
There is a small issue with Auto Spacing not working with HTC Messaging and Twitter. That can easily be fixed here.
Believe me, there is no on-screen keyboard that holds it's own in a contest with Swype. This thing is what got me off Hardware Keyboards.
swype never works for me!!! haha

the dll didnt work on my tp2 to fix the errors
That's because it's not for the Touch Pro 2...you are in the HD2 forums...
I was a huge fan of swype. It was super fast, super accurate, and I thought it was a nice, elegant solution to a relatively inelegant problem (virtual keyboards, more often than not, suck).
All of this was true BEFORE the JI6 update.
Now I find that swype's accuracy is MUCH lower than it used to be. It lags occasionally, so it doesn't grab every letter I swipe past. It doesn't "learn" words nearly as fast as it used to.
I told my wife, and she said, "Oh, thank god, I thought it was just me." So I'm thinking we can't be the only two people this is happening to. Anyone have any clue what happened to swype?
same problem with me
I agree. I love swype. But I hate that it learns EVERY typo that I type. Something I did that seems to help was clear my swype user dictionary (the words I have taught it)
Menu > settings > applications > manage applications > menu, filter, all > swype > clear data.
It does delete all of the words you have taught the keyboard... But then you can re-add the words you use every day (swear words. Ducking swype)

Did you do the JI6 OTA or download ODIN via one of the threads here? I noticed this same problem it was killing me I was so good at Swype before then it turned to crap. I used ODIN JI6 FWIW, and have since gone into Swype settings and moved the slider more towards "accuracy" from "speed" (about in the middle now) and it seems to have helped...a little...gonna give it some more time...
Definitely noticing this on JI6.
man i thought i was the only one...ever since i got the update same thing swype has been lagging and the words are def not coming out as accurate or fast. im gonna try and clear the dictionary and see if it helps...other then that the j16 update seemed to be a good thing...
In my opinion, it's a little off. I wish the stock android keyboard had swype so i can go back and forth from swype to typing without changing the keyboard (yeah i know you can type with swype but its doesn't feel as great)
I'm having the same issue with Swype. Before the JI6, swype was just amazing and far better than any phone keyboard I have ever used including the iPhone. Hope they fix it in the next update.
I have also experienced the "lag" while using swype after J16
Tho I'll get use to it i guess, still wish it was like it was before the update....
Well, at least I know I'm not the only one!
I'll try clearing the dictionary, see if that does anything. (You've found a HIDDEN WORD! Great, I always wanted to go on a scavenger hunt)
Thanks, guys... I'll poke around some more and see if I can find anything about this.
Oh, and @jalsing: I didn't upgrade via ODIN, I used the KIES Mini upgrade that Samsung released after people complained so much about how slowly the OTA was being pushed from T-Mobile.
I manually adjusted the settings to better accuracy over speed, which seemed to help, but yeah... lots of crazy words show up every now and then

well i ended up doing a factory reset...jst reinstalled my apps but all my data from sd card were still there...works perfectly now super snappy j16 update is still intact and swype is back to working excellent!!
So I'm using swype on an unrooted device and when ever I trevor reboot my phone or some times just randomly the newest version of legit swype stops working, I reverted to the last version I was using and it fixed it.does anyone else have this issue and do you know how to fix it.
Thanks,

I'm using the beta now and think I'm having the same issue. Basically after a reboot I have to select the normal input method then select swype.
Last I looked on there forum it's a known issue with no solution at the moment. Something about when the licence is loaded is after the program and it generates a conflict. Iirc.
oh well, once its fixed il go to it currently I'm using 2.10

I am having the same issues with Swype. I am rooted but same issues.
I've always had that problem since I got my first legit copy of swype. It doesn't work after a reboot/startup. Just gotta change input, then change it back to swype. I'm on 2.15 swype currently.

Yea the hacked versions work better right now but once everything works right legit swype is going to destroy

Just checked that version out.. It looks like an old version of SWYPE. I found some other themed ones on Mobilism that look really nice.
This is their copy protection in action, and that bug has been there for several releases. Very annoying. They know about it.
This Issue is very annoying but I'm glad that Swype allowed me on the beta test group. If switching back and fourth text input apps don't work, I uninstall and reinstall Swype.

I am an official beta user....but this also pisses me off. They know for many releases and do not fix it. I would use a hack version if I wasn't so lazy to find one I liked.
The latest beta has somewhat of a fix for this.
If you keep the Swype Installer around, there is a button to Generate License. And that fixes the whole rebooting not recognizing device issue.
This bug seems to happen to me everytime I enter into Airplane mode, then reboot my phone.
Isnt it just faster to switch inputs takes less than 5 sec to switch to standard then back to swype. After that it is good till next reboot.
BTW I have a second DInc and the license would not register on the second device...wierd. I put SlideIT on it but may look for the hacked swype to solve both problems.
I use an old version of swype that is hacked even though I'm a beta user, because I cannot stand the switching inputs thing
Sent from my HTC Incredible
Recent version of myn's warm rls5 and up fixed the problem for me. Swype always works on boot, I hated the input method thing, yea it was simple and easy but I'm glad it's fixed for me at least.
Anyone else try myns yet?
Has anyone pushed swype on to the Xformer ? or is there a zip that can be flashed ?
The built in ASUS keyboard has swipe typing available.

The swiping on the ASUS keyboard is absolute garbage compared to Swype. It might as well not even be there.
Trying to official beta doesn't work - get an error about unsupported screen size.
I haven't tried forcing the issue.

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.
EDIT
Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14600447#post14600447
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.

Cheers pal, it's fathers day and I am finally having a day to play with my new toy, so far the launcher has been changed and now it looks like I will be rooted by the end of the day. Didn't think it would last long unrooted.
What's wrong?

I don't understand. I have Swype set as my software keyboard and am using the dock to type this. While I do get the annoying warning about setting the Asus keyboard when I first get things going, I haven't noticed any odd functions, or loss of capability. Am I missing something?

I don't have any problems either.
I think I did change something with the settings when I previously installed thumb keyboard (the @ was coming up as " with the dock keyboard) but I haven't had to do anything with swype.
Edit....I've not got round to rooting yet so I'm completely stock and using the uk layout.

The swype for HC with re sizeable keyboard work great for tablet in landscape mode.
I use Swype on both my Android phones and love it. A perfect present for Fathers day was an email saying that Swype had released a new beta which included additional Honeycomb support!

After all, it's free! (at the moment)
Hey everyone, not sure this is the right section but here goes.
I am running a rooted att 2.3.4 atrix and using swype. my keyboard randomly collapses while i am typing. i dont thing im hitting a specific button or anything, just randomly decides that im done typing. usually happens after occasionally right as i swype a word, as in just when a new word is inputted.
any ideas?
Thanks
edit: ps was working fine last week, no changes in software since this started happening
Had this problem when I first had my Astrix. I solved it by completely deleting my "dictionary" and disabling it. Lg you go on settings and on input then choose keyboard settings, you will find your personalised dictionary filled with words that you have been using which are not included in the phone's dictionary (usually slaNg words).
Sorry for any typos. I am Swyping half asleep here. If you mange to solve your problem, which I am sure you will. Don't forget to give thank me.
Let me know how it goes.

thanks for the response. I deleted my user dictionary but cant find the setting to disable it, still having the keyboard issue. i am running att 2.3.4 if that helps.
cheers
Weird. That did the trick for me. Unfortunately, I am on CM7 at the moment and I don't think I think the keyboard settings are different or they have been moved but keep looking for a way to disable the user dictionary and see what happens.
