ATT Swype only

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 checked out the android bug tracker thing, and there's a few people asking for different layouts, incl. dvorak to be able to be switched to and one android dev said they were working on it.
i left a comment anyway, as moto said it would be in their version of 3.1 - so who knows what will happen...
i was really hoping this would be in for 3.2 though

Swype keyboard failure

My swype keyboard was starting to act weird and I deleted the swype apk. Can any kind hearted soul upload the following:
1. Swype apk (located in system/app)
2. libSwypecore.so (loacted in /system/lib)
3. com.swype.android.inputmethod (loacted in root: data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/)
Thanks.

How about this? --> Swype Beta
I didn't try this though. Given your situation it may be worth a trial...

Have tried that but it fails to install. The official swype beta says that the Samsung GT 7.7 is not a phone, thus rendering the download code generated after all the effort of registering in their website a waste of time. Right now, I am using Touchpal... it's butter smooth and free on play store. I am quite happy. But I do miss the shortcuts provided by stock swype in our beloved 7.7.
I have even done a factory reset to see if the swype keyboard comes back but it doesn't.

HiYa from Scotland!!
It's early days, but I'm sure guys will be into 4.0.4 and find out exactly what's good and what isn't. Just one thing, don't factory re-set until we see positive news about the eMMc brick bug that affects the SGN running ICS

My note is not hot after upgraded to 4.0.4 and it is faster, the pattern lock screen changed. Wake lock still testing on it. (Need to test out if this extends the battery)

My galaxy note is running perfectly now, that means faster, and I dont' have to do all those tricks to get a deep sleep.
However, what I am about is this feature that I read somewhere. Too bad I was in a hurry that time, and didn't get a chance to save the link , but what it mentioned was that this "premium" version gave the capability where you can directly write into the s-note app, without the need to open the app. I am imagining that if you you have it on your main screen, you can directly write to it already, unlike before when it needed to open the app before you can do something.
Was these all true? or did I assume wrong?

Yes, u must be referring to the quick S Note, but this is available on 4.0.3 already.
S Memo Quick Note>>>

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765415

S Memo doesn't open after ICS 4.0.4 Update on GT-N7000
Hi Folks,
I updated my GT-N7000 to ICS 4.0.4 update (87Mb, India) through OTA, and after that the S Memo doesn't open at all. The Application does 'open' but gives a black screen before displaying a message, 'Unfortunately, S Memo couldn't open' and gives me an option to cancel or wait.
Its been a few days since the update and i tried emptying cache, clearing application data and also wiping partition cache but none of it worked.
Please provide a solution for this issue as S Memo is like a canvas for me.
Thanks

does anyone know if its safe to root from here directly and flash from it directly? or do i still need a aosp before flashing new roms

Who knows, can't say I've been bothered.
There is also a new 'ticker' feature for your lock screen, you can get feeds from facebook, news or stocks..check that out, there may also be some new multi window apps, can't remember seeing youtube there before.

oh is there sounds good i will have to check it out.
i cant see youtube on mine and im still on 4.1.1
its a shame that you cant have all your apps in multi window without rooting your device and that, pretty annoying tbh.
i think i read you can modify the appone by one but thats long specially if u have to update the app etc n have lots of apps on your device

This is update for those who DIDN'T have 4.1.2 before?
Or is this update an update ON TOP of 4.1.2?

This is the official update for the UK to 4.1.2 as we seem to have been waiting for a long time. Cannot comment on whether it is any different to other countries 4.1.2 but nice to see I can now run standard Android Twitter client as a multi-window app.

Could anyone upload this firmware? I can't download it from kies as im not on official firmware

Might be on sammobile.com...

Not on Sammobile at the moment.

Dont remember seeing lecture notes & papyrus as multi window apps prior to the update today, but they are in the list now for sure.

New apps added with multi-window on my Note are:- Astro File Manager, ChatOn, Chrome, Facebook, Gmail, Google Maps, MX Player, Google Talk, Twitter and YouTube. I know I had Papyrus in 4.1.1 and I think I may have had MX Player but not sure on that one.

Multi-window seems a little difficult to make work sometimes - the multi-window button appears in the bottom right corner on some of these and doesn't always work, seeming to activate whatever is under the button. Also can't see the button anywhere on Papyrus - how does it work on here - this would be really useful for me?

At last youtube and snotes on stock multiwindow!!
and being able too edit which apps and in what order they appear on the multi window bar, this tablet gets better and better

Unfortunately it looks like they still haven't fixed the, USB storage not being recognised, problem.

Lads if I used the Exynos exploit root patch to root my 8010 can I just do the OTA update and then the device will return back to stock i.e. not rooted?
