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
Great Day,

I feel they still havent quite ansvered my question, so I asked:
Hi,
Okay I understand. But why have you released a version with an option of turning off auto space if the option itself doesn't work?
Kind regards,

can you ACTUALLY turn off the auto space option successfully?
I know it's been asked once in this forum before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986911) but I didn't have permission to bump due to my <10 posts.
But yea, I'm really bothered with how many unnessescary words are in my dictionary (using Swedish, not that it matters, but just FYI.) and also by the fact that alot of words start with a capital letter (names and towns I get, but sometimes other random words do too.)
So, I was hoping someone could figure out a way to edit the .dat file (found in data/data/com.dasur.slideit/app_databases/).
..or, if all else fails, even figure out a way to just completely erase all words so I can enter the words i use from scratch, with no unnessescary words what so ever.
Thanks!
I think there's only two ways to do it...
Either clear the SlideIT data to remove all the words, or when you see a word that you don't want, click the whole word and then the minus sign to get rid of it. But that's kinda tedious though.

The stock reader used to allow me to touch and hold on a word to launch the dictionary, but it seems no longer able to?
This function was definitely there and it is stated in the manual as well. Is anyone else facing this? Thanks!
It still works for me definitely. I have noted that it does not always work for every word obviously. And to be honest, the dictionary only became available to me after 3.2 update.
Not working for me on prime1.7, only text to speech, share, etc options. Remember to have used it previously.

My options are the same as yours, no dictionary pop-up! Not sure whether it is due to Google stopping it's dictionary service? But if that is the case, then this will impact everyone as well...but Darkgage says it is working for him?
Darkgage, if you don't mind, can you pls chk again....it was working for me too but now it doesn't. Thanks!
I've tried my Stock reader and i can only highlight it, wirte a note, text to speech and copy. Only this four options. No dictionary. But i'm shure it was there when i get my TF.
EDIT: I tried the stock rom with hc 3.1 and 3.2 but there are the same options. Perhaps they stopped this feature.
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.
Ive had my phone for a few months and I'm having problems with all the "user added words". They all disappear and I have to start all over again. Very annoying as I prefer to use the phone-pad with predictive txt on to send messages.
Is there anyway to either -
A) Stop this from happening
B) Back-up the words I add so that when it looses them again(which it will) I can reload them back in. There must be a file somewhere that contains these words.
Or, if you have a better solution let me know.
Any help appreciated.

what rom?
you try a different keyboard from playstore?
Thanks for reply.
Its just the stock android version 2.2.2. Bought phone sim free so no network stuff on it.
No, only using the stock keyboard.
Its been behaving lately but that means ive added lots of words so id hate to loose them
Just lost all my words again...this is so annoying.
Wish I had a backup of "user dictionary" so I could reload them.
PITA
sorted it by installing both
Black Bolts Keyboard (which saves user dictionary in usual android location)
and
User dictionary manager UDM (this was no good with LG keyboard as the location of file is different from normal android location)
from google market.
Now i can use this new keyboard, which looks and works better, save my words and also back them up to sd card in case phone looses them...
Sorted.
Hope that help anyone else with this problem.
