SWYPE Beta On the Xoom - Problems - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Swype Beta (supposedly compatible with tablets now) behaves strangely when I tilt my tablet to "portrait mode". It messes up the key orientation, making it impossible to accurately type anything.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the beta.apk. Same result.
Has anyone had this issue?

Search is your friend..known issue, it is a problem with the change in how screen resolution is determined in 3.2 honeycomb...several threads on this already.swype is working on a fix but it won't be out until a new full version is worth releasing...

Can't get Asphalt to pay in full screen

I am running Tnt lite v3.1.4 and I am only getting 90 degree view and landscape. I did the G-senor fix, but I am still having the same problem. Is there something I am doing wrong? Is anyone else having the same problem?

Did you do the G Sensor fix after installing 3.1.4? I believe that supplement is the new fix so if you ran another fix on top of it you may have unfixed it
The full screen issue is more to do with the native res of the display and Nvidia drivers than the accelerometer. I can not play the game since the touch points of the icons are off, so it is a semi-guessing game of what you are pressing.

Yeah, isn't it fun trying to gauge just how far above the icon you need to really press before crashing into stuff
I believe some on the forum here have it working fullscreen.

[Q] [KatKiss] screen wont rotate

just flashed latest KatKiss rom, its very fast, but I cannot seem to get thescreen to rotate. I have auto-rotation turned on, tried on and off, but no luck. Any ideas?
Welcome to the forum!
are you docked? If so, it wont rotate. You must be undocked and it should work just fine. If not, perhaps your accelerometer is broken. Use CPU-Z from the Play Store to look at the feedback from your accelerometers.
Sorry I was away for a while... No not docked...
I ended up installing an App from the store... Acreen Rotation Control and setting it to Auto and now everything works fine. Not sure why I had to do that, but it's working and that is good enough for me.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I "solved" as you did, but it kind you sucks in my opinion. I'm using 4.3 build 020.
I'd suggest uninstalling the app and then getting a logcat (see the how to report link in the KatKiss thread) and send that to Tim to see what is preventing rotation.
Only 2 users out of probably 5k+ users have reported this issue.
for me some apps are just "sideways apps". what can you do? I just use rotation locker for that portrait mode. not sure what else to do. :sly:
Yeah, but mine has been rock solid since flashing and using the Screen Rotation Control app.
mmm...

Got similar behaviour.
Using KatKiss 4.4.2 #23 -- it can rotate the screen, but when I try to lock it in the desired position (using the "quick tile") the tile briefly flashes and the screen gets on landscape mode again.
I see it's not related to the tile, since the same happens if I get to the rotation settings on Android's "Configurations". Tried using a program from Google Play to set it (sorry, can't remember its name) and it didn't work either.
Hoping @timduru may take a look at this...

Thanks, but that's exactly the one I tried -- didn't work unfortunately.
Well, just tried latest version, KK 4.4.2_r2 #024, still no luck.
So here are the three asked logfiles.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Autorotation is enabled, and I'm using the tablet in landscape mode. Turned it right (ie, counter-clockwise), worked as it should (screen rotated).
Then I opened the "tiles menu" (the one in the right upper corner, below the clock) and pressed the rotation tile.
It briefly changes to the "locked” icon, but turns again to the "normal" one and puts the tablet again in landscape mode!
Interesting enough, the menu remains opened but the icon is seen as the "locked" one.
By the way -- tested undocked.
Many thanks @timduru -- apart that it's an outstanding ROM. Hope to hear you soon. :good:
Update: auto-rotation working as expected on KatKiss 4.4.2 version #026, no additional software needed -- many thanks @timduru!
Hi,
I recently updated my TF101 to KatKiss 6.0.18. Since then, have the same problem with screen not rotating. Tried installing several applications that should rotate, but this does not solve the problem.
Tried also the "dropping the tablet" trick recommended by some on Google, but this also without any success. With the Check Sensor app, values remain to 0. Everything was fine beforehand with KK 4.4.
Any hint ?
Thanks

Orientation problem in a particular app

Hey guys, I'm having a little problem running an app on my TF300. The apps name is practiscore and the problem is in the screen orientation. On some screens it's in landscape (which I want) and others, it's in portrait (which I don't). It does it consistantly in that the particular screens are always portrayed in the same orientation. I've tried two different roms (Cromi-x 5.04 - android 4.2.1 and Grimlock v2.2 - android 4.3) and it made no difference. I tried going into system settings and messing around with the orientation settings with no luck. I've run the program on other devices including a number of phones and a few rooted nooks and it never exhibited this behavior. Do you guys think the problem is in the app or something to do with the TF300? Anyone have any suggestions on a way I could force the app into Landscape mode all the time? (So I can use the keyboard dock.) Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have the same issue. And I don't know how to solve it. Except without gestures.
I have full screen gestures enabled and no issues with swiftkey(beta). On what rom are you? I tested it with chinese stable and xiaomi.eu

Doesn't matter if I push the letters or just swipe, no lag at all. Maybe you can test the swiftkey beta app or disable spellchecking in input settings
Hello again
If I disable de voice comand, the problem persist.
I downloaded the beta and, the problem is the dame.
I Dont understand. If I disable the full screen mode, its solve the problem

I've noticed this too
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
I'm using this phone since three days ago and I immediately noticed this issue, and it is specially annoying when I try to use swipe writing. I suspected that occurs because the system doesn't know if your are trying to write using the keys located at the edges of the screen like q, p, etc. or just using gestures. In consequence I tried to adapt the keyboard using the one hand feature (Google keyboard) and putting it in the center of the screen and it worked, the lag disappear. I'm attaching a screenshot because my English sucks. I hope you can see this way what I did.
I tried turning on 'Show virtual keyboard' in Settings > Languages & input > Physical keyboard, and it seems much better for me now.

I have the same problem. It seems that there are many of us who have this problem. I hope that in MIUI 10 they solve it ... I can not find any solution, just turn off Fullscreen mode in my RM5

I have already reported to MIUI team but while they do something about it, i've installed Edge Gestures to replace full screen mode, to hide navbar i've installed Navigation Gestures and finally AutoNotification for hidding apps in background notification. I have lost gestures animations but works perfect and the only issue it's volume bar in landscape like the image attached.
This is a nightmare and makes the device horrible to use.
I reported it to MIUI team weeks ago. The best solution for now is disable vibration on keypress within Google Keyboard, which makes it way less noticeable.
I'm using miui 10 weekly on eu roms, the problem is still there...
I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.3 and it seems like it has been solved through software update. I no longer have the issue testing in sketch app, or using any keyboard with full screen gestures.

Keyboard edge miss typing => reverse letter

Hello,
I've since the update 10.5.8 and 10.5.9, I've got miss typing on the edge
When i'm typing a word starting on the edge/curve screen, the word is in 2nd position instead of 1st position :
meme => emem
pq => qp
aux => uax
autant => uatant
qd = dq
This is like pocophone when the phone get out there was a touchscreen bug for 6 months then they've fixed it so no more reverse letter
Now it's a regression from OnePlus because on previous firmware i didn't have any issue
I'm on stock rom just rooted and BL unlock
I'm the only one ?
It's happening the same to me. I'm going to try another keyboard app, I'm using Gboard.
Stock ROM here but not rooted.
Edit: it only happens to me if using Gboard, but it works fine with SwiftKey. Try it.
I've used touchpal on my old phone and with oneplus i wanted to used stock app (now i liked it, it's very difficult to change )
i've tried swiftkey and go keyboard and i've still got some miss type but not as much as gboard and i don't really like it
But this happen since latest update only with 10.5.7 i have no issue at all

I tried SwiftKey yesterday but I don't like it as I cannot switch from Spanish QWERTY keyboard (with Ñ) to Portuguese QWERTY keyboard (with Ç). Gboard can do it...
I think we have to write slower til Oneplus fixes it... :silly:
Yeah, i've open a case since 10.58.0 but we have so much isssue with google stuff
also Chrome freezing issue

But I think is some Google related problem. I was owning a Huawei P30 before OP8 (since more than a year and until 2 weeks ago) and Google Chrome was freezing also there (the trick was going to homescreen and then open Chrome back again, that fixes it temporary until another freeze hahaha). So I don't think that's related with OP8, but not sure.
I've uninstall Webview android so it's stock one and i don't have that much miss typing...
I didn't install the update from play store but for the mom i'm staying like that
I have this problem even when using other keyboards

And what does Android Webview have to do with this keyboard issue?
Another one with the same problem. It seems that this issue is fixed with Swiftkey but I don't like it at all. I've contacted with One Plus support but the only solution that they gave me was sending to RMA.
I've tried with the Android 11 Beta 2 but the issue persists...
oh double post
Really ? They may change our screen for this issue ?
This happen since 10.5.8 update before that I've didn't have any issue.
It's like a driver issue.. but it's seems we are only a few people who are affected by this issue
They can change with 8T for me
My issue is similar to yours. The error appears when I press "ai" or "qi" quickly or with two thumbs - the result is "ia" and "iq" even though I believe I pressed "a" and "q" first. On the edges of the screen, there is a small delay in input. The problem isn't unique to physical edges, as all "a" and "q" buttons can be delayed even if they are not directly pressed on the edge. My conclusion is that this confirms the existence of a software bug. Is this something that can be fixed? I find it quite uncomfortable to type with two thumbs. Would it be possible to change this? It is on a Nordic keyboard, and "q" and "a" is located right at the screen edge. There is no difference in the problem no matter what keyboard I use, including Gboard (despite its small buffer between the screen edge and the leftmost key). For practicing typing, I found a free online typing test tool to see how fast you type. Also, it will help you remember the keys. It's an easy and enjoyable way to check your typing skills.
