Swype stopped working? something i missed? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i try to use swype, i get the line accross the keyboard as i'm trying to type and but just displays a blue box around the whole keyboard. Is there a way to fix this?

Which rom are you running? Check that thread to see if there is a fix.

You missed about a dozen threads about the Swype trial ending and ways to fix it that could be found by doing a search.

Swype on cm6

Does anybody have it working on cyanogen mod? Every time I try to do something it just pops up an error saying that swype is configured for a different device and wont work.
Note: I'm not asking for an apk here, the swype app is warez. I'm talking about the official beta not working.

I've had this happen in the past. I just uninstalled Swype and the Installer then re-downloaded and installed all again. It all worked after that.
I swear I tried that already, but it works now thankss! The quantity of swype has gotten a lot better, it even has a mic button now

I agree 100% on this, it works MUCH better on my Hero than the last release which lagged so bad it was unusable!

[Q] DOuble capitals using swype

I have a problem since upgrading to froyo. Now swype will put a double capital in if I'm spelling a word out manually. THis is what happens. And AGain. It's really annoying and didn't happen with 2.1. I did a factory reset after the upgrade. Running JPO on XEU.
Any solutions or suggestions?
Thanks!

My swype version is 2.1.41.10155

Also found that since updating to 2.2 froyo, download mode fix, voodoo lag fix. That and also experienced the faulty pull down menu bar once aswell.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Mine does this too and I'm running the same firmware.
The only solution I have found is to wait like half a second before typing the next letter.
I also get double capitalisations on the next word like - "Hello How are you?" if I type the word how too soon after hello.
Its ****ing strange.
Sorry to double post but was wondering whether there is a way to reset the swype saved words? If not how and where can I update swype and whats the latest version?
Thanks

I'd also like to know how to reset all the custom words in swype. One by one with the swype key is rubbish.
I also get the Double Capital word when manually spelling. And sometimes the cApital is in the wrong place.
All since upgrading to 2.2. I'm really happy with everything else but I'd become used to swype and now it's broken

Hi, I also get the double capitals, either in the same word, or on the second word. It's really annoying. Any tips?

I'm not sure if you want to go down this route but I had the same problem and since installing darkys gingerbread look rom my swype has worked fine and my phone has no lag at all. It's made me 100% happy with my phone (haven't tried gps on the move yet but gets a fix quick).
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yeah, that worked for me too. Now on Darky's ROM 9.5 and absolutely no problems.

[Q]Swype

Has anyone got Swype working? I tried to download the apk for the ascend but it doesn't work, it installs and I can change the input to Swype but when I try to type it does not work. I will try different models and see if I can get it to work.

Figured I would post this here after helping someone on the Zclusive FB page asking about Swype. For those of you who like Swype, but cannot get the beta to work anymore with the ZIO (i had the beta at one point, updated and it wouldn't let me download)
I believe the Zio was promised Swype with 2.2 but it never happened. And sorry ahead of time if it's against some kind of ToS to post link to Apps that aren't necessarily free or paid, but in beta

Downloaded Swype from the link above. Works like a charm on my zio, I am using swype to send this message. I will report any bugs here.

Dude thanks. I have been looking for swype everywhere. It's a little slow but not too annoying. It's faster on my sisters Evo but maybe it's a hardware issue. Or maybe I just have a slow phone.
You can chose to change the way Swype responds in the options

Im an Ultra Keyboard Fanboy, sadly..
Ultra keyboard has swype capabilities (called tracing), that is just as good as swypes, but ultra kbd is so much more customizable than swype. More responsive as well imo.
Give it a shot.
Ya I'll check it out, I'm just getting used to using swype without error, I don't like how I have to choose my words to make it work.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
have been wanting to try swype...but using slideIt and have had zero probs with it...tried a bunch and settled down with it ..the trace works awesome.
Yeah all that is customizable through ultra kbd settings. You trace, then hit space and it will choose the default word. It'll still give you options, but in a horizontal menu, instead of vertical.
Word prediction is stellar as well

mine doesnt either.. i dont understand that. i had to switch to handcent.
I have the same issue with the spaces on Swype here.
Found another issue with it....the speech to text doesn't work either anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using XDA Premium App
I thought it was supposed to put spaces automatically.
I figured it was an option I couldn't figure out how to turn on.
The no spaces thing has been discussed quite extensively already, and there is a huge Swype thread already.
It's not auto-spacing because Swype respects text fields formats, and for some reason HTC set the SMS message text field up similar to a web address field.
To the OP. You will here this a lot, on any forum. Do a search before posting a new thread. Or at least browse a page or two to see if the topic you are refering to is already in discussion.
Only had to go to page 2 and at the top is the already existing thread on swype
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985683
Dont take this as me being rude please. Someone at some point is going to say it no matter where you go. It helps keep the threads clean. And help people find things easier if there arent multiple threads about the same thing.

Swype needed for Captivate

Swype worked for my Captivate until I downgraded from gingerbread to froyo. Then, after a short period of time, Swype quit functioning with a message about my "free trial" ending... Related to froyo? I'd like Swype back, anyone seen this problem?
Thank you

One way to fix this is to get the latest swype beta directly from swype
http://beta.swype.com/
Another way is to find one of the swype.apk floating around xda that is permanent or does not have a trial period to worry about.

Just download cognition 5.3 and extract the swype.apk from system/app and place it there on root of phone and then install.
