Anyone noticed that swype new version 2.4.44 is not accurate as the old one ? Please share your experience with new swype
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I thought it was just me having ot get used to swype again after the phone was getting repaired for 2 weeks, but I've noticed the same thing. I spell out a word and it comes up with its usual swype random jibberish I've learned to know and love, but now it's done way more often then before.
Annoyed with the new version too, more buggy to my idea; takes longer and mostly suggestions with the bigger words..
Is the issue in froyo version?

Yeah I find that I am making a lot of errors with this version (xxJPK).
I am thinking about uninstalling and installing the version directly from Swype...
Swype like a lot of phones keyboard that suggest words "learn" you writing, it means that over time the phone will choose a word instead of an other because he know that you used more this word that the other
After numerous months, my Swype Beta invite has finally been accepted, however, I am currently using the hacked Swype v.2.4.44.10912. Other than getting the latest Swype version & possible future versions, what is the advantage of me using the new swype beta instead of using the version I already have and am satisified with?
Well...it's legal?
Otherwise any benefits of the new updates.
Rarely do updates make an app worse so...I don't see the negative in updating.

Yes, but it still works and I like it as-is. I appreciate your reply though.
I'm pretty sure one of the biggest updates in this version is speech to text. Don't quote me on that but I'm in the same boat as you. I have a theme mod on my swype so im not updating but I'm still in the beta. If anyone wants a swype beta let me know. Im not using it.

I hear ya...lol...I've waited months for my invite to be accepted and in the meantime, I've used several betas that were found online but have since expired and then I found my current hacked version that will not expire and I'm satisfied with it as-is. My primary keyboard is still Smart Keyboard Pro. I don't care about using text-to-speech. Heck, if I'm going to talk, I might as well call the person I want to talk to...lol. Anyway, I appreciate your reply. Thank you.
I also received an invite from swype and upgraded to the newest version. Will this beta version ever expire?

I would prepare for it to expire at some point like the ones before it, however, being that your invite was approved, you would more than likely be allowed to upgrade to the next beta, if there is another one.
Received my invite and dumped my hacked version. Haven't regretted it yet. hacked version even had mic for speech 2 text but I like the looks, feel and speed differences of the legal beta client over the hack.
I've had problems with the beta "locking" on me where I have to reboot for it to allow me to Swype again. (tap typing worked, but it's Swype!)
This happening to anyone else?

When that happens, I usually select to the default keyboard and then back to Swype. That fixes it. No rebooting

Mine has suddenly started saying "this version of Swype was not designed for this model phone" and then won't Swype. (I'm in the official beta). I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked for one word and threw the same error. I tried switching to another keyboard and back and still nothing. It worked fine for the first few days.
Anyone know if the new update will kill root?
Using Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4
Swype re-opened beta's for android users. Just registered and downloaded whole process takes 5 minutes! Hopefully my search was correct and no one had posted this yet But anyway its here now!
Just head over to beta.swypeinc.com

It's because you don't have your browser's UAstring set to Android.
Or mobile view is turned off. All I had to do when I saw that was turn mobile view on and bingo.

u guys r smart. thanks!
i like it, not to happy that all the long press characters are moved arround
I've already got the swype beta on my dinc, with the voice to text, should I uninstall and download the legit beta, the version I have now is hacked...

if it's not broke, don't fix it is what I say.
Too late lol, its working good though

yeah, i am heavily enjoying it. i have never had swype on either of my droids so its a big upgrade for me. feels and works awesome im amazed at how well it recognizes the right word even when my fat fingers hit the wrong letter haha.
After trying swype on the galaxy tab I had to try it on my inc. I am liking it so far. Pretty neat really.
So on two phones I'm using this beta, officially signed up for it, installed through the official installer, all that.
After a re-boot on one phone swype just ceases to function, it acts like it's expired. An uninstall/reinstall fixes it but very annoying.
On the other phone, I get an error message saying it was designed for a different device and some functions won't work, and the primary function that doesn't work is... swyping the words. Uninstall/reinstall fixes the problem.
What the hell? Using unauthorized versions in the last 6 months it's worked perfectly, now using an official beta, trying to go legit, it doesn't work. Both phones using the SkyRaider 3.3 ROM (exact same configuration on both, both phones are launch date phones).

Not sure what that could be from. I have been on a lot of roms in the past 48 hours SkyRaider not being one though got stuck on CM 6.1 and in love lol. Maybe there is soemthing new in the code that messes things up? I dont know about code unfortunately but i have NO problems so far. Wish i could be of more help
Easier fix for the not working after reboot: long press in a text field, change the input thing from swype to something else, then change it back to swype. Should fix it.

I had issues with Swype not detecting the occasional, uh, swype? Switched back to the default keyboard. Now using IncredibleGingerbread and the multitouch keyboard is better than Swype by far. Fast and accurate.
mine gets stuck every now and then and I have to just go back to stock and back to swype.
Currently, I think swype is amazingly accurate. I feel like I'm just scribbling on the keypad. I'm never going back.

Try changing keyboards then back to swype. This solves the problem for me.
Btw is there anyway to backup the user dictionary between installs?

I'm using the new FireFox 4 Beta. What is mobile view? Can I enable/disable it on my phone if so where?
Also i've always used the standard keyboard and I type with my thumbs. I am finding it rather hard to swype with my thumbs.
Do you guys use your thumbs or index fingers? Also any suggestions for someone converting from stock to swype to get my adjusted quicker and be able to use it more naturally other than just time?

Type very fast with all 10 fingers and pretty fast with two thumbs on the Dinc. But using this Swype for the last two days it's a struggle and have only been able to use my right thumb. Do seem to be getting better all the time though.
Was a major PITA to get it to work with Better Keyboard for some reason.
The sms bug i'm talking about was supposed to have been fixed in 2.3.2 for the Nexus S, but, i have just experienced this supposedly fixed bug with 2.3.3, the bug is the one that sends a reply to a totaly different contact to the one that the reply was intened for, for instance, today i replied to an sms from a contact from within a messange thread but the reply was sent to a totaly different contact.
Anyone else experienced this "supposedly" fixed bug with 2.3.3.
I've never experienced it on 2.3.3. But, I never had it on 2.3.2 either.

and 2.3.2 is the version that fixed the SMS bug.. thats why you didnt experience it Zardos66
I used to get this a lot on 2.3.2. But since 2.3.3 I've yet to have this problem again. Although I do still get the random reboots...

i've definitely heard this issue, its a serious one and been in android for over 1 year now. google just fixed it recently, so i'd go post in their bug tracker that you still see this issue. its a real bad one.
i use handcent anyway which is immune to this bug, but still. i'd stop using the stock messaging app.

GO SMS has the fix as well. Highly recommend GO SMS, I used to use Handcent but made the switch to GO SMS.

I Have been using Android since the day the G1 launched, as has my girlfriend and neither one of us has ever experienced this bug period on any of our phones. We've had several hand set exchanges, and multiple hand set models. We are also very heavy texters.

Well i've just experienced this text bug again, in fact, i have experienced it a few more times since i created this thread, there are reports on the net that this bug is still present in Android 2.3.3, has anyone experienced this bug since their last post, or has anyone else experienced this bug, feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I'm still new to the nexus s, about a week on CM7 and no encounter with the bug, hopefully it will stay that way.
FYI for all you Xoom owners. You MUST be completely stock to get this update. Apparently running the ☢ BigDX Xoom|Zoom Theme ☢ 3G & Wifi Only ☢ will send data that the Swype servers don't understand.
"There was a data error, likely due to a bad network connection. Please try again."
So you just need to revert completely to stock then run the installer and it will go by without a hitch!
Your Welcome.
Hi, thanks for your post but i dont have installed this app what you said.
Go back to stock isn't it worth for swype...!
Finally swype on xoom! Bout time!
Ummmm your a little late. I already posted this and the link about it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122823
Second you do NOT have to be stock to install Swype 3.0 on your Xoom. I know cuz I did it.
Please search before you make a post. Also make sure you know what your talking about before you give people the wrong information.
I use Swype as my main keyboard for my Xoom, I don't think it is worth going back to stock if you really like the theme or rom. It's great but it has a ton of glitches. I am mainly using it as my main keyboard to help beta test. I think it will be worth it when they update it at least once.

I had been using Swype since last fall on a Nexus 1 and loved it... thought it would be a great improvement for the Xoom, but I really dont find it helpful... doesnt seem as slick as the smartphone version. If trying to type like a real keyboard it tries to connect the dots, and does so unsuccessfully. Even when its shrunken down to the smaller GUI its still not great as a 'swype' keyboard. The auto suggest is consistently wrong and the keyboard seems to struggle with using the .com button.
I went back to stock keyboard...which works well as a qwerty keyboard.
On the Swype forums, they've stated if you're running the Tiamat Rom it can cause issues with the communication between the device and the servers.
They were trying to reach out to BRD last I read.
