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!

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.

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).

Yeah, that worked for me too. Now on Darky's ROM 9.5 and absolutely no problems.

Anyone else having issues typing with their phones? Like pressing the letter "p" on one side of the keyboard and then the microphone icon comes up to record as it was pressed. Very frustrating.
My camera will lag and take pics very slow and delayed... I'm thinking of taking this thing back. Any advice or fixes available?

I'm using Thumb Keyboard. It allows me to change the keyboard layout. I also moved the mic to the number keypad and replaced it with a comma, since I use commas more often.
For faster pics, you can try taking them in Sports Mode and see if that helps.

It's not about the key locations, it has to do with an input issue. When pressing one letter it will detect another on the other side of the keyboard. Not sure if I should unroot and see if it fixes...
I'm going to do a little more research today.

I don't know about this, but sometimes when I hit my screen it will register my fingers position in a different location, just requires me to wipe the screen off a bit. Good luck with your research, I hope it's an easy fix
Been using swiftkey for over a year and I love it but its laggy in ics. This isn't just a vivid thing either a Google search revealed nexus owners are having lag with it too. It ran fine on my captivate and fine on the vivid before the ics update. Tried several popular android keyboards and most have lag. Any suggestions?

I use swiftkey once in a while, the paid ver doesn't seem to lag for me, but I just don't like the small letters/fonts on the keys, especially on our qhd screens are even smallaer, there's no opinion to increase them from settings. I now, use the Thumb keyboard, very flexible and many themes.

Thumb keyboard!!!

I have thumb courtesy of foatd from Amazon. Tried it, still kinda slow for my tastes. Found a port of the its keyboard on the market and its very fast. Bought the paid version of it and its noticeably slower so I refunded and went back to the free one

I'll give it another go soon.

You know you can get swype, yes? Sign up for the "beta" and you're good to go. No need for potentially malicious ports.

In ICS, pressing and holding the input area is not how you change keyboards. That is done using a notification setting that appears wherever you enter a text input field.

Thumb keyboard

I tried thumb keyboard for a whole day eventually just switched back to the ics keyboard I found in the market. Simply just too slow for my tastes. I have to say there has to be something different about the ics framework because all keyboards that were fast with gingerbread are slow on ics. I think right now the problem with ics is just not enough phones have it for developers to care

You can change your keyboard size in settings.
The stock HTC one is very nice and fast but they left out one thing: auto space after prediction selection! Only android keyboard I've ever seen that doesnt auto space

Hey, when trying to use the handwriting mode with the keyboard in a text, it doesn't change any of my writing to text, the writing area won't scroll, then the phone freezes and I get a force close.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks

Yup. About an hour later the Samsung keyboard auto updated and the problem stopped for me.

A restart fixed it. I haven't seen the keyboard update. Will check for that in case I overlooked it happening.

Found where it did update. I uninstalled the update and reinstalled

Thought it would be worth mentioning that I switched to the Google keyboard just now and it froze the phone the same way... This time "Google keyboard has stopped"

As I'm staring at my brand new note 3 at this very moment it has taken me 5 minutes to attempt to get this piece of crap s pen setting to automatically begin handwriting mode, even if it does scroll, not one single word Is converted to text, AND I don't even see the option of the small pen icon that allows me to use the other handwriting screen that does work!!! Needless to say this is beyond frustrating and I refuse to pay for any update "solutions" I.e putting a bandaid on a broken leg.. Also tried swiftkey but that's just a different keyboard nothing to help HANDWRITING which is what I enjoy... lastly, as I write my screen isn't positioned in the best way to see what I'm writing also vs. My keyboard. .. is that just another annoying thing I'm going to have to get used to or what??? PLEASE HELP!!!

What I mean is when I try to select individual letters with the phone keypad in XT9 mode, it always puts a space between every letter. Like I'm the 3rd, so I use III a lot, but when I hit i and select it from the bar above the keypad, then the next time I hit i there's automatically a space, and I can't seem to make it stop doing it.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Turn off auto corrrect?
Oddly, I can't seem to find that setting.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you are using the stock keyboard, I just tried it in XT9 because for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would still be using that keypad. And no spaces here. I hold down the GHI select I and do it 2 more times, no spaces.
I just can't figure it out. I think I had a problem like this with my M7, and I think someone helped me fix it, but I don't remember how. It really seems like there's settings that aren't being shown that should fix it.
Any chance there'd be a way to uncover more settings somehow?

Any more ideas? It's so annoying for this to be acting like this.

Sounds like when you choose the "i" in the upper bar, the phone thinks you're wanting it to just be an I and it automatically adds the space in preparation of the next word....what happens if you just type "iii"? It should realistically let you type that and then you can choose that combo to save in your phones dictionary. Hope that makes sense and helps you out...let me know
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I have the III saved so it does just put it in without spaces. It's any other time I have to add any word that bothers me. It shouldn't force a space when I go to spell some things by c h o o s i n g individual letters from the top bar. I've never had any other version of sense do that before, and it really feels like I'm missing a layer of settings for text input somewhere. It's just bothersome that I wouldn't be able to turn something like that on and off.
I've tried turning on and off the other settings in that field, and it didn't stop the spaces from auto adding. I actually have to add a space then backspace between every letter I need to individually choose.
Driving me batty, it is. lol

I just tried to recreate what you're describing, I see how the space thing comes into play when choosing individual letters now...then I turned off word prediction and then it stopped adding a space but it also got rid of the top row with words/letters your currently typing...may I ask why you'd be typing individual letters and choosing them instead of just typing the word til it's completed? That's the only area I'm still confused about.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Sometimes there's things I type that aren't in the dictionary or my phone doesn't want to type "on" or "go" or other two letter words sometimes for no reason, then I have to type them with individual letters. The things that aren't in the dictionary are things I don't typically use on a regular enough basis to add, or when I'm typing capcha codes and the like.
I think it bothers me more that I can't simply make it not do it without disabling something I frequently use. I could've swore that there was another layer of settings that was specifically for the XT9 keyboard.

Did you make sure English is the default language for the keyboard?...I had an issue where I would be typing and some common words kept getting switched to weird/foreign words, come to find out somehow my language got switched to Spanish I think it was. Just another idea...I'm running out of other ideas, sorry

It is on English. I did find I settling in Swype for auto spacing, but it didn't do anything for me either. ; ;
