Ooh, got the email too. Gonna go play with it.
Edit: Ok, the beta swype link does not recognize my phone as an android phone if I'm using Dolphin Browser HD... had to use the stock browser to download the installer.

Got the email couple of hours ago, and just updated right now. Doesn't seem much has changed. Anyone else know whats new in this version?

Thnks, email Link is just to the installer which needs a Beta username and PW to run so no use for non beta members. But a link to the actual APK via PM would be great. Cheers.

New features/fixes are:
Added better context sensitivity for the “magic button” (go/search/enter/smiley)
Added automatic apostrophe insertion for contractions (e.g. won't, don't, wasn't, etc)
Added the Italian language dictionary
Improved sensing of field type to prevent the display and addition of passwords to the UDB (user dictionary)
Improved suppression of auto-spacing in fields such as URLs and email addresses
Updated the built-in dictionary to include several common words that were previously missing
Rewrote some settings descriptions to be more clear on their functionality
Fixed licensing issue causing “Limited Functionality” errors when rebooting devices running Android 2.0 and later
Fixed licensing issue causing some users to receive an “Incorrect ID” error when installing Swype
Fixed a bug where manually typing some words with word-prediction enabled would cause Swype to crash
Fixed a bug which caused some words added to the UDB to erroneously override other words when word-prediction is enabled
Many other minor bug fixes!

That alone would warrant an upgrade. Text entry in URLs and emails is the reason I gave up on Skype beta. So looks promising.
Gimee gimee.

Wow! Works very VERY well

Can I uninstall the installer after I've upgraded?

I see there is a link to the APK over here if anyone else is after it.

On my N1, I still had to go into Swype settings and tutorial to actually activate it. Straight away I can see the URL stuff is better. So back to using Swype for me. Yee ha...

Thanks bro...

The word recognition is so much faster than the original beta.

I got the email about 4 hours ago (on my N1), downloaded the software and installed it. You have to remove both Swype and the older installer else it fails. I am sure there are tons of underneath the hood improvements, but the one that I saw immediately was when you enter numbers, they show up in the suggestion list in blue.

...and pecking keys is now so much more do-able. ie when you want to enter a non word such as a password. THANK YOU Swype devs for listening and fixing those two major bummers that were there before and are fixed now. Good Stuff.

Actual swiping doesnt work for my N1 on Froyo, all stock - any thoughts? - Only outlines the texting field in blue on the edges and then no text shows up - only allows me to type like normal - this is with the 1.56

Thanks for the heads up. I did not receive the email yet but downloaded it anyways. It seems much faster so far. I guess we will see how well they did after a few days of testing.

Thanks heaps!

[THINK TANK]POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOUND ~ fix froyo messaging to the wrong person???

From this thread and my experience it seems as if the Vibrant based roms (Cog 2.4) do not have this issue. This lead me to cruise around the vibrant section and I found a couple useful files.
Applying sombionix's modified TW MMS file on clockwork has seemed to have fixed the issue for me. I do need to use/test it for a little longer to be sure. I triedseveral times to reproduce the bug and it is texting the right people If it didn't have that stupid gloss look it would be perfect
I am going to give this a tryCyanogenMod 6 MMS Modified for puzzle lock by untermensch . Since it is part of CM this should 100% not have the issue, and it is nicely modified to make use of the puzzle lock screen.
---------------------------
From what I understand this is an issue with all froyo roms, I have experienced this with most cognition builds since 2.2b3-2.3b3. When switching between a message conversation and new messages in the stock messaging app, messages are often sent to the wrong person.
I am going to try my best to describe what I believe leads to the problem, these steps may not replicate the issue exactly:
1. I must have just recieved and replied to a message conversation with "individual A"
2. I receive a message from "individual B"
3. Without leaving A's conversation I pull down the notification bar, and access "B's" new message and conversation.
4. while viewing "individual B's" conversation i try to send a reply to B, but it switches me back to "individual A's" conversation and sends them the reply (instead of B).
​
This has been very frustrating, embarrassing, and incriminating -- especially when I have accidentally sent messages to my boss, mother, and certain coworkers that don't understand some of the "things" me and my friends txt about.
I have created this thread to hopefully get everyone thinking about a way to fix this. In my opinion this is one of the biggest bugs with the Froyo roms.
If you have something constructive to add please join in the discussion. Suggestions like, do not use the notification bar, or install handcent are not helpful.
Thanks!

I use chompsms and have never had that problem, even with the quick reply feature.

I use the default sms, and have no such problem.

Get rid of the ( and ) in your contact numbers.

I don't know what to tell you man, I just tried this on Cog 2.3b3 and couldn't replicate your problem.
Perhaps you haven't found all required pieces to replicate the issue.
And shouldn't this be in the general Q&A forum?

I too have had this problem. Has gotten me in a lot of trouble also I just don't use the notification bar anymore. Your not the only one

I have had the issue with some of the ROMs. With 2.4, everything seems ok.

wow! I have not had this problem yet, but thanks for the heads up. this could really get me in trouble with the wifey.

This *almost* got my ass on fire. Thankfully it was vague and didnt cause any alarms. We gotta figure it out, and also. When i open up the messaging app from the icon on the home screen, instead of going to the person i was talking to last, it goes to someone in the middle of the convo list.
Now i made it a habit of looking at who im texting before clicking on the send button.

I started using handcent when I first got my phone and haven't looked back.

cog 2.4 doesn't have this issue

I have the same problem!
It is extremely frustrating and embarrassing sometimes! (especially if you are talking about a girl and you mistexted.... to the girl!)
Im running cog 2.2 and gonna upgrade to 2.4 to see if that fixes the problem.

I just switched to cog 2.3b4 from 2.4.1 and the issue is back. I am gonna try using the Mms.apk from the vibrant build to sweet if that fixes the problem.
It is annoying that my first couple hours on 2.3.b4 I already noticed the bug. I didn't have any issues with 2.4.1 in the few days I used it.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is are those having these issues (I have never had this issue) restoring old texts after flashing? Use handcent myself

I don't restore texts and I get this issue a lot. It seems to happen most when I'm already in one persons text, I get a notification for a new text from another person, so I go to the text using notification pulldown. Once i type and hit reply, it moves the text to the person who's text I was in before I recieved the new one.
I hope that wording makes sense lol.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841011 I just flashed that in cwm and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
I will see if it fixes the problem completely. It is really easy to apply if anyone else wants to try it.

Because you use hand cent is exactly why you don't get it.

I just about got into this very trouble the other day. I am running cog 2.4.1, and if I reply to a message from the drop down menu from the top, it sends it to the last person I was talking to in the messaging folder. Regardless of who it says you are texting! This really needs to be fixed. The person I'm talking about isn't always the last one I talked to!

Whoa, you got the issue on 2.4? I usually have the bug effect me once every couple days, but while on 2.4 I haven't noticed. I have been trying to make it happen with the vibrant mms.apk, but I haven't been effected yet.
I really hope designgears notices this problem and helps fix outif it exists in the vibrant based roms too.

Yep. And I do not restore messages either. When I wipe one, I wipe it!
I think it can be reproduced by going to the messages folder and texting some one. (Person a) then after you have replayed to person a, have person b text u. Answer with the pull down menu from the top. It worls the first time, not after that, and although it says its going to person b, it is really going to person a. Some times it takes several seconds for the names to change. I actually sent 3 txt back to back to the wrong person! Had to hit the back button to get back to the root of the message folder to see they all went to the wrong person. It clearly said it was going to person b!

Messaging Bug in Android

Hello Folks,
I have come across an Article in BBC News : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12138790
It points out at a potential bug in Android OS which causes messaging problems. I have personally noticed this issue. I am a heavy texting person and sometimes when I open a Conversation Thread just after I send a message and before the Conversation App Refreshes, I am pointed to the wrong Conversation Thread. Noticed it many times, I thought it might be an issue with Samsung (As Always), but I was wrong. Interesting to note that Galaxy S is also affected.
The above issue Pinpointed :
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9392#c1460
EDIT: Also noticed sometimes that when I send a message to person A, and I get a new message from person B, when I click on the New Message Notification from the Notification bar, I am sometimes presented with the Thread of person A rather than Person B.
Have to see how Sammy Responds.
Anyone Noticed Similar issues?
Thanks!

Interesting...
I had a different bug on JG1 fw with SMSes, but it had been solved with upgrade.
I'm guessing you're using stock messaging app and the problem is with stock app only?
Personally I didn't use stock app for a long time, I'm using Handcent and have no such problem.
Have you actually experienced that the message was sent to a wrong person?

Yeah Endgadget did a piece on it in December.

I noticed this when I was on 2.1 and using the stock messaging app.... Got me into a bit of trouble once or twice! I thought maybe it was fixed in 2.2, but maybe not... I just don't notice is as I use ChompSMS now, as it's features suit me better.

Samsung's Email app - slow cursor, can't change what u typed.. bugs!

This one's somewhat hard to explain..
When typing an email in the Samsung's email app (NOT the gmail) I get these bugs:
- First of all, app itself is fast, typing is nice and fast, what u'd expect.
- When taping on the screen to change the cursor position - it takes about 1 second each time for it to actually respond and move cursor. Just an annoying lag for some reason. Happens all the time.
- Once I typed the text, say I want to change something - I tap somewhere in the text, wait for cursor to actually appear there, then I start typing/backspacing - cursor immediately jumps to the last character in the email. So I can't actually change anything I typed in - I have to backspace all the way to that place, change it, then retype everything from that point on. This problem is intermittent, but is incredibly stupid and frustrating as hell.
Anybody got these issues? Any idea what's causing these?
PS: Happened on VillainROM and on Cognition. Both with Nenph. and SpeedMod kernels.

It happens in all browsers i tried as well, with all keyboards i tried

Only happens in email app for me. Opera browser is fine..
I wonder if it has to do with the fact that email.apk is deodexed

I'm stock and use the e-mail app with Exchange. I haven't had any of the issues you described and I'm a pretty heavy e-mail user. I'm on KF3.

I have the problem too.
It hasn't mattered what ROM or Kernel combination I've run, it always plays silly buggers!
Exactly as you describe, once you begin to type in the body of the email, it becomes very difficult to edit what you've written without deleting it all (including the email signature).
The email app is the only place I have this problem, everywhere else is fine.
I'm sorry I can't give you any indication of how to remedy it, however I'll be keeping a close eye this!

I have this problem too but only with swype keyboard and only in the stock email app. I'm on the stock rom from the bell canadian gs2.
the way around it i've found.. click once on the word you want to edit, then hit the swype key and either choose from the list of words swype gives you or start typing.
its pretty damn annoying though.. i hope there is a proper fix

I don't even have swype installed, and I have this problem..
It must be something in the app itself, I think

Bump, if I may ..
Really looking for a solution to this problem =(

If you swype from the blue S directly to the right, you get a swype cursor pad up and can move the cursor much easier that way without having to delete everything u typed!

[Q] Keyboard Bug - Repeating Last Word

My girlfriend's Nexus 4 is showing this issue where the keyboard keep repeating the last word from the last line of a text message, in her case she uses Whatsapp. The issue is similar to Issue 17143 on code.google.com.
e.g.
1. She wrote "hey there" and enter to send
2. She punched in the letter "a" to start a new line
3. The word "ThereA" would show up in the text line
I looked this up on Google and xda and was able to find people having similar issues, but none has a solution.
This is stock Nexus 4 running stock keyboard and the problem was present before and after 4.2 update.
Has anyone had a similar issue? If so, does anyone have a solution?

Mine lags sometimes, but not much. I'd reccomend getting swiftkey
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Is that what's causing it? A lag? I really doubt it because even if she left the application between the lines, the error still shows up, even if she comes back 10 minutes later. Whatever lag the keyboard might be having should have been taken care of.
I used to have Swiftkey, myself, but Swiftkey is not ideal for our native language. Our texting is totally different from the formal spellings.

i have the issue same here, any solution ?
