Swype Beta v3.0 - Thunderbolt General

Don't know if people have been trying to use it lately because I had issues in the past trying to get it to work properly. I got notified of v3.0 and I was able to install it successfully and boy must I say that it works and looks better than ever. This is a must have for anybody looking for an alternative.

What I dislike is that you still cant use it with the stock mail app

I agree! This is really a great update to the most used app on my phone! I REALLY like it, I think they really really improved it. Seems faster to me too. And I like the ability to add words to the dictionary instead of them adding automatically.
I'm sure there are more options, I just haven't explored yet.

I don't use the stock mail app but it works fine in the gmail app.

No auto space working still. So annoying. Shapewriter it is

I dont know what you guys are talking about. Swype 3.0 works in the stock mail app and auto spacing has always worked for me...

Same here! I don't get it.

Some ppl may not realize swype adds spaces when you enter the NEXT word. It makes more sense if spaces were added when you lift your finger, but it doesn't work that way.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

For me, the only place that swype doesn't use auto space is in the messages app. I checked on swype's forums and they said this was due to the stock app having a different input flag. Apparently it's marked as a web address form, which makes swype stop auto spacing.

? Works fine for me. (using Swype 1.6)

Yes I stopped using swype because it sucked. But this new version rocks. Nice upgrade swype. And yes auto space works as normal.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Swype has always worked for me. The only thing that's a bit annoying is I have to reenable it after a reboot.
I love the new word choice bar instead of the bubble.
So intuitive and easy to use. Only time I don't use it is in Terminal Emulator.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

1.6 worked flawlessly for me. I decided to go with the new 3.x and it works but it's a bit more of a re-learning curve IMO.

No clue why. Using plainjane. The other beta on mr1 never auto spaces either. I have the option checked.

What version are you using? It works flawlessly for me. I just downloaded the latest version today.

Just tried it to make sure. No spaces. Version 3.6.84.26668
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Yeah I'm using the same version, the only thing I can think of is either 1. check swype settings and make sure auto spacing is enabled or 2. like someone else posted, once you do your first word start the second word and see if it automatically puts a space. On mine it doesn't appear to have a space until you start the second word.

I'm guessing that it only does your e-mail contacts, because the same thing happened to me and it seemed to coincide with people that I've e-mailed instead of people that I have on my phone.

swype on the tbolt

For some reason I can use the swype keyboard feature only the first time I install the swype keyboard. After that I can type each letter but it won't let me swipe anymore. Any suggestions?
I am having an issue with Swype as well: I cannot get it to Auto-space. Any help would also be appreciated.
There is some issue with it in HTC Sense Messaging. I have the same issue. If you use Handscent it works though.

You need to re-license it. It kept doing that for me over and over again so I got rid of it. Using Shapewriter now...its basically the same thing.
Yes swype is very bugging on this phone. Only works with well with 3rd party messages apps. I have reinstalled several times, with the same results. Hopefully an update will fix.
There are version of Swype that can be found that are apparently for the EVO. I am not quite sure if it is an older version, it may very well be but I heard that it works. Just some food for thought!
the only issue I have is that it doesn't work on a fresh reboot right away.. I have to enable the touch keyboard (stock) and then change it to swype after that and it works fine until I reboot my phone

Same, the easiest way is to just open up any txt window and hold your finger there until the "Txt input" box comes up.. choose standard, then repeat process choosing Swype.

same workaround ive been using.
After dealing with the same issues I switched to flext9. It's not as pretty as swype but does the same thing and has surprisingly accurate voice recognition, which I use once in awhile. Hopefully the first update from HTC includes a stable version of swype so we can all stop dealing with the licensing issues.

Swype beta works fine on the t-bolt, like the previous post says one issue is that it doesn't work after you reboot, you just need to enable the stock one again and then re-enable swype, takes 2 seconds.
Another issue is it doesn't work well with the HTC facebook/twitter app. The app has built in auto complete which messes up aftermarket keyboards. If you use something like launcher pro it doesn't matter, or 3rd party widgets.
I found a working version on swype on my TBolt. It took me a while to find this but finally got it working for me, doesn't reset after reboot or anything, and it's not a beta version I don't believe. It's the full version and haven't had any problems with it at all. Send me a PM for the link...
I got the eco swype apk, works great for me.
This sometimes happens, switch between stock IME and Swype on a text area and it should fix it for a while
I switched to slideit keyboard and I prefer it over swype beta.

Sprint did a Google Voice integration back in April.
The language packs are not 100% ported over to english. I would get notifications in chinese. No idea what they were for...
The menu system is completely different than android. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to add my gmail account.
Anyone use the sense 3.0 style lockscreen?
I know this post is kind of random, but I used the rom for a bit, and then reverted back to my stock rooted GB rom. Would like to spend more time with this rom, and see it it would suit me on a day to day basis.

SwiftKey X Free on Amazon Today

Highly recommend it! The AI predictive capability is so much better than anything else I've used. Can oftentimes type with only one or two clicks per word.
But note that the word predictions are currently disabled for the HTC email app on the ThunderBolt. This was a quick fix for the predicted words blocking the text box in landscape mode on some screens. They are now aware of the problem and actually received a ThunderBolt today to test on (they are in England). I think the fix should be very easy because the predicted words are no longer blocking the text box when typing in the Subject line of emails in landscape mode.
In the meantime, the predictive capability still works great in Gmail, TouchDown (for MS Exchange), the Comcast Xfinity app, etc.
Thanks, Robertus

Seems ok in my limited testing. I always found the prediction engine in SwiftKey to work the best, having swipe just makes it better. I was going to try the tablet version on my Nexus 7 but I guess the download site is swamped as it couldn't connect. Most likely because guys like you are posting it all over XDA...
been using it all morning so far so good
Odd... In some cases it won't let me swipe.. Like the main search on the xda app for example..

My first install was awful, it installed, but the prediction boxes on top weren't working. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it's been working fine ever since.
Although, I think it predicts words better if you actually type the words. You can't select the word you wanted to type if it guesses the wrong word

I don't like the fact that if it got the wrong word when you swipe, you have to backspace over all of the letters. I think the stock 4.2 keyboard will delete the whole word if you backspace once. It might be an option though, I haven't looked that closely yet. Other than that, no real issues. Haven't decided if I'm going to stick with it or not, even though I bought it.

I've only used Swype as far as having something to compare it to...and it seems faster to me. I also like the prediction better than swype.
I don't type often(I mostly swipe), but when I have used it for typing it seems pretty fast....a little lag now and then.. I also do NOT miss the glitches in Swype, such as not spacing automatically in the browser and other apps...this has been good for that.
Keep in mind it's a beta, and as fast as the previous version is, I'm sure this can only get better...they've already got a great start..
So its been a week. Flow works pretty smooth for me but I did notice that the prediction needs a little work. But all in all I see a solid keyboard app worth using.

Has anyone else experienced the inability to search from within a website using flow? For example, using Chrome or Google search if I navigate to xda, rotten tomatoes, imdb or android central(those are the sites that I've tested on) I can't search from within that specific site. After I switched back to SwiftKey 3 I was able to search successfully. I haven't checked the forums over at SwiftKey yet so that will be my next step. Thanks
