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...

Sure. You dont need it at all.

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!

Apostrophes replaced with &apos since 3.1 upgrade

Ever since I upgraded my 3g Xoom to 3.1 (using BDR's flashable image, thanks again!) I have an issue when using apostrophes in communications. When I write "I'll" for example, it looks fine on my screen. However, once I send that email to it's recipient it translates to "I'll" on their end.
Is this new to 3.1 or is it a known issue? I have never seen it before.
I saw a couple posts referencing "'" but not in this manner.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Conspiracy Theory: Every fifth grade English teacher in the U.S. partnered with Google to, once and for all, stop our use of contractions. *dum dum dum*

yes, i noticed it too. oddly, it seems to only happen when i reply to emails originally composed in html. i noticed it last week for the first time but i don't recall if it was before or after the upgrade to 3.1. it is definitely there in 3.1 though.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure when it started but I'm sure I never noticed it before 3.1.
It's annoying trying to not use apostrophes in emails

I just noticed this...very annoying.

did you modify any system files? what keyboard are you using?

Not extra mods beyond the flashed 3.1 from bdr. Now running the new 1.6 tiamat as well and still have the issue.
I'm using thumbkeyboard but used that in the past without noticing the issue.
I have noticed something new. When I view the Xoom General board using the XDA app and see a post with a quote or apostrophe in the 1 line preview its replaced with ' or ". However, when I open the thread it is displayed correctly.
Very odd.
Edit: you guys see "' or "." above? I entered that as "&quot" above and it changed to " when I clicked submit...
Is this an interpretation problem with HTML codes?

I don't have a solution but I can validate the same issue.

I am not experiencing the issue. I just sent myself a test email using the gmail client and used ' a lot, but it showed up properly on both the xoom and on the computer I sent it to.
Oh, and I'm on BRD's 3.1.

keyboard changes
I also noted that the colon : symbol is gone from the keyboard when typing an address using the browser. For example the "About:debug" command could not be typed as the key was gone. I had to go into a search box to type the command and then cut and paste it into the address bar.
Another google conspiracy....

Next to the space bar in the browser. Select the URL bar and the forward slash button immediately to the right button gets the colon as a shift selection. Just long press the that button and you get about:debug entered with no problems.

validated.
Only noticed it today. In gmail. Grr. Stock. Rooted. 3.1

Yeah, it has become increasingly annoying to me.

Same here. Do not see the issue. Show up properly. I'm also on BRD's 3.1

Apostrophe Bug, Android 3.1
Anything out there besides people who also notice it? Need a fix, not company.

Everybody experiencing this issue please go to code.google.com and search for "android 16873" and then STAR it so that the priority will go up. This bug is killing me. Thanks!
P.S. If anybody could please repost the actual link I'd greatly appreciate it. I don't have enough posts.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16873

I was getting this issue in some emails to my mate. I replied with thumb keyboard, then replied without it. And without thumb keyboard didn't get the issue. (I used stock)

Hi everyone,
This issue was tracked internally on the team and has been fixed in our codebase. It will go out with in a future system update. Thanks to everyone for their patience.
I just wanted to clarify a few things and repeat what some people on this thread have already said:
- the issue exhibits itself only when you reply to a message, and not when composing new mails
- the issue exhibits itself if you are using an Exchange 2007 (or newer) account
- the issue should not be fixed after a reboot
- the issue should not be seen with IMAP, POP3, or Exchange 2003 accounts
If you are seeing an issue which does not fit the above criteria, you may be seeing something else, and it would be useful to identify your device type and version, as well as precise steps to reproduce the issue on a separate issue entry.
Thanks!

There's your fix... 3.1.1 or 3.2 probably

This issue still hasn't been fixed as it happens all the time on my Xoom which I only bought a few weeks ago. Standard out of the box Xoom. Using MS exchange email client. It works fine on GMail.

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!

I've never had a problem with getting 2 notifications for every message with GoSMS. It blows away the stock messaging app -- especially if you put it in Normal mode.
Other than that, not sure how to get Emojii.

really? on every phone ive had the group chat comes up as 2 notifications no matter what, it first gets a message and downloads it a half a second later and goes off again tried all the setting and could not get it working properly

I believe you can install an "emoji keyboard" from the the app store which will give you emoji everywhere in the OS. Ive never tried them since I don't use emoji, except in whatsapp....the significant other insists on using them

I have the same problem as him, albeit I don't mind that much. But I get the message as a multimedia message (1 notif) then it automatically downloads (2nd notif) so for every text it makes 2... kinda annoying but yeah.

Google Keyboard update

So I was so tired of not being able to long-press the upper row of the keyboard to input numbers, so I remember reading somewhere that Google had updated the keyboard with this feature for tablets, to my surprise, Play Store didn't notice any update, so I tried installing it from the play store website like I do pretty much always, and I got the update pushed to my phone.
I attach the link to the playstore here, even if it says INSTALLED, click on it and you will get the option to install it on the devices linked to your account.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

My keyboard gets the numbers on the top row now. Thanks!

Shame I paid for SwiftKey 1 week prior to get that feature.

Different strokes for different folks. I prefer SwiftKey's functionality, but there's something about "stock" that's always appealing for me.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm a bit confused why keep this update hidden and not notify the users like a normal app would do, That's weird !

Huh, the Google Keyboard update installed automatically for me just fine, right when it came out.

Google Keyboard can also do this.

Hmmmm. Didn't do anything for me. Couldn't push it from a PC, the option was grayed out for my N7. Went into apps, installed updates, forced closed, went to the play store and updated ... nada. Using Swype, so no biggie, but still...

Did that and it didn't work. Ah well, as I said no big matter as I am using Swype anyway.

Guys, I've installed the last version from play store.
I have a problem that it seems to exist only on my (actually my wife's) N7II. I don't have it on other "regular" android phones...
When I press a key, I don't get that blue pop-up with the key pressed, if u know what I mean...
Does anyone get the key pressed on the blue pop-up ?!?
I searched on settings, but I haven't found nothing related to this...
Is this a bug or does it work like this on tablets (or at least on N7) ? Can also be a 4.3 bug??

Best keyboard setup with google keyboard is advanced setting, custom input styles, english (us) (pc). Gives you a pc keyboard layout. Numbers on top and symbols like your familiar qwerty pc board. Keys get small on portrait but thats what swyping is for.

What do you mean, "blue pop-up"? Letters don't "pop up" on the stock Android keyboard unless you hold down the key to select, say, a number or symbol.

But on my Samsung S3, Desire HD, Huwaei X5 (and so on...) it shows the contrary ...when I touch (or hold down, it's indifferent) a key on those devices I get that blue popup
Oh, and now I went to the keyboard settings and there is an option for that: "Popup on Keypress"
If I disable it, it wont show that popup as natural.
On N7 I can't remember quite if it's there and if it's enabled or not... only at night when I came back home...
Maybe this is a phone feature, maybe it's a nexus bug, a 4.3 bug... who knows...

None of those other phones ship with the stock Android keyboard- the S3 in particular uses Samsung's keyboard app, the Desire HD uses HTC's, the X5 Huawei's own app, etc. This is the stock keyboard app that is on Nexus devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin&hl=en
Edit- I've had a check, on tablets it doesn't do the pop-up because the keyboard is big enough for you to see the letters. Swiftkey does, I think. Try Swiftkey!
