New swype 3.0

Hey everyone i thought i would bring the good news to people who are swype fans and let you guys know that the new swype 3.0 is available for download and is open for the public to join as well.
i know people on the TB were having some problems with swype in the beginning, and for all i know got fixed long before beta 3.0, but regardless the new 3.0 fixes the spacing problem on the TB and has some cool new features as well, go check it out at swype beta website
http://beta.swype.com/

Great find.. thanks!

Works great

It seems to have fixed the issue at reboot. Don't need to toggle input methods anymore to get swype fired up which was anoying

So far so good! First time that the downloaded beta actually typed properly. Previously had to use a diff version found on xda here somewhere.

anyone else getting slight lag with swype 3.0 on gingerBAMF?

I still have to toggle. Did you guys remove and redownload the installer our simply run the installer and let it update the app?

Swype issue?
When double spacing on swype it does not auto install period, is anyone else experiencing this?

same issue here. really annoying

I totally uninstalled the installer & app... started from scratch... Works fantastic, no spacing or reboot issues.
The new inline word suggestion is top notch. Will see how it "learns" but maybe just a half step below swiftkey so far after a few minutes of use...

Just swype from period to space. Much easier motion.

I still like Flext9 a lot...although I am using this on my Xoom because it supports tablets and Flext9 doesn't.

+100 on flext9.

Autospacing doesn't work for me when i am texting. Works fine in email and other applications though.

Uninstall and re-install worked for me.
I agree, the update is really nice. It still does not work with the pre-installed messaging app, but with apps like handcent, I will never go back to the pre-installed app.

I logged in with my account, installed the installer and the version says 1.1.26483. Is that just the installer or is something wrong?
I went ahead and installed it and my swype isn't white like in the picture either.

I bounce between Swype and FlexT9 periodically. Flex is easier with words that have double letters, but it really, really sucks in dealing with spaces after punctuation.

Thanks so much for posting this, I was lamenting my lack of swype, now I can swype to my heart's content. That reminds me, is there a way to put away the swype keypad like the stock one?

Biggest problem for Atrix HD. Solution?

Given 4.1.1 is probably going to be the very last update for AT&T Atrix HD users (Bell guys are lucky with the 4.1.2!), what are we gonna do about this bug? Are we stuck with this problem for good?
In 4.1.1 whenever you switch your default keyboard to any other keyboard (say, SwiftKey or even Swype), the third party keyboard gets disabled on reboot and the OS will switch to the default/stock keyboard. This is not the end of problems.
There is the annoying status bar notification for changing input methods every time the keyboard opens. The only way to disable this from popping up is to have only one active input method. Given the stock keyboard cannot be unchecked in settings, the only way to have only one keyboard that you want (say, SwiftKey for example) is to freeze/disable the stock keyboard app leaving SwiftKey as the only available input method.
Normally, this would work fine. But in 4.1.1, because the OS disables the third party keyboard and tries to reset back to the default keyboard on reboot, when it can't find it, goes into a crash loop leaving factory reset from the recovery as the only option of making the phone usable.
Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this particular conundrum?

Here is the solution I have found:
-install swiftkey from market
-use titanium backup root to backup the app
-uninstall the app
-restore backup (app only)
However, this is only a workaround and every time SwiftKey app or language updates, the OS disables SwiftKey on reboot and defaults to the stock keyboard. So, don't disable the stock keyboard for now unless you want to risk a factory reset every time SwiftKey app or data updates through the market. This workaround also doesn't address the problem of having the annoying input devices prompt in the status bar every time you use the keyboard.
More ingenious ideas / suggestions welcome.

I have 4.1.1 and use swype as my keyboard. It has never once switched back to the default keyboard on a reboot. I have not having this issue at all.

I have 4.1.1 on my Atrix HD and I use SwiftKey 3. Never had this problem.

I don't have this issue, and I switch keyboards depending on the number of hands I'm using! Another friend with an Atrix HD also does not face this issue...

I just rebooted and SwiftKey 3 is still my default keyboard. I guess I am just lucky.

Did you install SwiftKey 3 from the Play Store before you upgraded from ICS to JB OTA? If yes, that is expected.
But if you installed the app afresh in JB or updated the app or language after you had upgraded to JB, you would have this problem.

Swiftkey Flow, Swype, Swype Beta 1.3, Smart Keyboard Pro...everything works fine without having the issue you're facing!

Like mentioned on the link above, a lot of people are facing. Did you install them all afresh in 4.1.1?
Try uninstalling all of them from the Play Store today, reinstall them again from the Play Store and see if it still works.

That might explain it! I installed SwiftKey as soon as I could when I got the phone!

When I reboot, not only do I lose my SwiftKey 3 keyboard, but my phone removes any active widgets I have on any of myscreens. AT&T sent me out another HD, andit still happens?!?!

This is a confirmed issue for all paid apps in 4.1.1.
Google has, however, corrected it in 4.1.2.

Only fix is to run a custom rom.

Keyboard issue?

Is anyone else having issues with third party keyboards after the jellybean ota? I have both swift key and slide it keyboards and neither wants to stay applied, it always reverts back to the default one which isn't bad but I'd much rather something else. I am constantly going into settings to re-enable them which is getting annoying.

Mine does that too. And my widgets disappear also.

I found out that it reverts to the default keyboard if I restart my phone, it also happens with my paperland pro wallpaper, It'll revert to stock wallpaper once the phone is restarted. :-\ I should have stayed with ICS me thinks. Lol.

Not having that exact symptom, but I am having an issue with the OTA update of Jellybean where the keyboard will remain, and cannot be minimized or swiped down. Usually I have to open something that demands full screen, such as Youtube in landscape mode, or reboot the device.
Anyone else having a similar issue?

The keyboard thing is a known issue with jellybeans. The fix is to backup the keyboard app with titanium backup and uninstall it. Then do restore of the keyboard app with tibu. Then it'll stick.

I'm using Swype and it's been working fine, I've been using it since before the up update though.

Default keyboard not staying set

I have both Swift and Slideit keyboards and have managed to set the slideit keyboard as the default keyboard, however whenever I turn the phone off and back on or sometimes not even that, the keyboard defaults back to the Sense keyboard. This is the first sense keyboard that I really do NOT Like at all but cannot get rid of. Is there anyone else that is having the same issue?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

For some reason there was an Indic keyboard on mine. All kinds of strange symbols on the keys. And for some reason it kept turning it on. I finally disabled it in Apps which seems to have fixed the problem and my Swiftkey keboard is staying as default

I had the same issue with Swype. Fixed it by making it a system app.

Same issue in hox and hos with Jelly...
But you can resolve with a freeze of HTC_IME.apk...
In hox rom works fine

Default keyboard always resets to stock.

I have had this keyboard problem for as long as I can remember. Lived with it for a while but it is driving me nuts and I need to fix it.
The default input method always reverts to the stock keyboard. I much prefer SwiftKey but cannot get it to remain as the default after selecting it.
After setting SwiftKey as the default it works for a few minutes while I test typing in a couple apps. Then I will need to type something and the stock keyboard had gone back to being the default.
I am rooted stock only and don't see any apps that have been disabled that look to be the culprit.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I cannot live with the stock keyboard any longer.
Help please!

Have you tried freezing it? I've totally uninstalled the stock keyboard, no issues.

I could not disable it but that's a great idea. I just used root explorer to rename the apk and it seems to work great.
Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.
