i'd just like it if they could fix the bug that stops it auto-inserting predictions when you hit space. once you get used to having it, it's very annoying when it just stops working all of a sudden

Ditto! I read a post that Swype has a bug with auto-insert for single letter words (such as 'I' and 'a'). I've tried to pay attention to when it happens on SwiftKey, and so far it seems that the bug might be the same.

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?
Best regards,

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!
talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...
Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.
I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.
Great Day,

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.
I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:
Hi,
So what you are saying is that auto space option can only be turned off in abc mode? Is there even auto space in abc mode? How does auto space work in abc mode? I am sorry, but I cannot seem to make any sense of this...

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.
New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...
Dear Sven Erik
We meant that when you are tapping after a word in slide mode you will not get the auto space
if you slide you will get auto space always

New Swype Version

Has anyone checked this out yet?
http://allthingsd.com/20120620/swype-gets-first-update-since-selling-to-nuance/
I downloaded it this morning only been using it about an hour but seems more responsive and accurate, also the keys seem bigger especially the spacebar great for non Swype typing and the word prediction is great so far I'm really liking it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
It's different, so far pretty decent. The keys are indeed bigger but I can't tell if that's making it easier to Swype or not. Two handed typing is definitely better than it used to be. Dragon dictation is definitely an improvement as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Ive been using it for the last couple of hours and so far Im also impressed. I seem to be making less mistakes and the predictive text works well.
I also have not had any of the old Swype idiosyncratic problems - "our" coming out as "pyotr", "weeks" always being corrected to "Weeks", etc.
Also, the new version lets you edit the dictionary and remove words - which I wanted to do many times in the past when Swype was suggesting words that I would never use (such as Pyotr). So as I spend more time with it, I expect that to come in handy.
So far it seems like a lot of good improvements in usability...
How did you download it?
I'm swype beta user and requested to send me a link to download form swype beta website. It never come. Also swype connect on device which usually alerts me of new version is not pickuping up new version either.

same here. I tried to uninstall swype (with Titanium backup) and reinstall the beta with swype installer. But it didn't want to log me in (error network).
Maybe too many people are downloading the new version

Uninstall Swype from your phone and then use the installer app again. It should download the newest version.

Hmmm...Can you login at http://beta.swype.com? If so, maybe try uninstalling both apps and re-downloading the installer app again. That's what I did, as I hadn't re-installed Swype the last time I flashed and it worked just fine.

Question guys... I installed the new swype Beta on my atrix 2....
I tried touch typing with it, but when I start to type so fast it starts to think I'm trying to swype and starts to mess up my words.
Is there anyway to turn off the swyping so one can only touch type? - I know kinda defeats the purpose of swype but I was just curious!

Sounds like an Atrix problem to me.
I haven't seen that issue on mine, and I type pretty quickly. I know of no way to turn off swyping, seeing as that is the primary purpose of the swype keyboard, aside from switching back to the stock keyboard which sounds like what you want to do anyway.

Unfortunately, 12 hour updates makes this app broken for all intents and purposes. Can't test how it affects performance or battery usage. A trial version would be better. Allow users to choose update frequency for a set amount of days, then it locks to 12 hours would work wonderfully.

This. Impossible to test it as it is, so won't bother. An hour would have been better. All that text on your home screen is likely going to conflict with icon text etc, so it's important to see what happens over the course of the day with it continually changing.

Ok guys well more @benwalburn & SUer , no where on here asked to be tested, app already been tested this is more if you like the idea then buy pro not "let me make up an testing excuses for a free app" Please stay on topic if not please move on to something else that does need "testing for a free app"
@SUer , you have to make a 2nd screen with no icons so you can just swipe over... I mention this in the video

Thread cleaned. Let's keep this on topic. Though, I must say, I echo some of the concerns aired about the 12-hour interval, and suggest that this be changed to something more reasonable like 1 to 3 hours.
This is a really neat idea. Going to be testing the lite version and if it proves functional enough I will buy it. Thanks to you and all the hard working devs that are under appreciated!

[Req] Spell checking - Please developers look into it

Hi all!
Although I am an old user here, this is my first post/thread about my new Galaxy Note 10.1
Ok so our beloved note is supposed to be work oriented and one of the most used perspective of that is Emails I guess.
However this one has a major flow (on stock ROMS) and that is the absence of any spell checker!
I know there's swype and many other features, however spell checker is still an important feature!!!
To make myself clear (if someone didn't understand what I mean), we miss the feature where the wrong typed word is underlined in thin zigzag red line. Once you click on it, many suggestions pop up to replace the wrong word.
This exists on PC, outlooks, word etc.., and exists even on AOSP, CM and all related roms! It even exists on iPad!!!
To ease the way, someone in S2 forums has done it on stock Touchwiz ROM. Look here: PRESS HERE
In this thread he outlines the method he used. I guess it requires AOSP keyboard and libraries as well as modifying the framework and maybe settings apk.
Besides he shows advanced ways of disabling it in browser URL links and contacts app and etc...
Please developers look into this and make it happen, at least for the 4.1.2 ROMS. This is a major feature that we need to have, especially when typing!
I really dunno SAMSUNG what was thinking when it removed this feature from AOSP android!!! I mean this tablet was meant for these things!!!
Thank you!
+1. Hell...+20.
I was looking for spell check the other day when sending out an email. Would definitely be nice. I am not sure how Samsung missed this one
Its mind blowing that such a basic feature is missing from all the Samsung devices! +100 on this request
+50
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I'm an "Old User" as well, and although no spell checker is not quite a deal-breaker, it will sure add a lot of time to everything I need to do with this new tool/tablet...SO: I'll add my voter to whatever a +100 does
+1000 hell yeah! A grammar checker would be wonderful too! A girl can dream.
Bump,
Has anyone tried this? I don't have the tools to do so

Well the mentioned method as well as the method I mentioned in OP are the same! However I am no developer and I really dunno what decompile means and how it is done!
However, I will look into it later on when I have some time.
I would pay for this feature if it was added. I really miss having a spell checker.
I found an app called Ginger Grammer and Spelling.. you can find it in the play store. Just haven't been able to make it work on my Note 10.1. Anybody willing to try it and tell me if it is just my device?
