Has anyone found a working version of Swype that works with qHD screens?
EDIT: Sorry I meant to post this in the HTC Vivid forum.
i have shape writer i haven't tried it yet
but its attached
Swype has support for qHD already, I believe. Not that anything involving qHD would help you with the Rezound since it's 720p lol.
Edit: Oops lol didn't notice your edit. But still, it should have qHD support.

The current version from their website works fine on my Rezound, just has that annoying bug where you click oh the end of a sentence to put punctuation or continue typing after fixing something, and it selects the whole word.

I am using swype from the download link i had through the beta for my incredible and it works wonderfully. First thing i did with the phone.
I too am using the beta I had with my Dinc, however I found that I can't swype as fast on the RZ as I could on the Dinc, if I do it loses the traces and uses whatever letters it ran over to guess a word. Kind of weird, so I've just learned to slow my swyping speed down a little bit, no biggie.
Just download it from the Swype website. Works great!
I am also just using the Swype beta from their website. I have also noticed slight stutter when swyping like rbobby pointed out. It seems like it loses the trace halfway through and swype thinks it is two words.
Good its not me. I kept thinking I had something on my screen or finger.
Curious, for those who are also seeing the skip and didnt before. Do you have a screen protector now? Did you on your last phone?
Its the only thing I can think of because plain glass just feels "sticky" to me.
Do any of you think the "trace" functionality of the stock HTC keyboard measures up to Swype?
Used it on my TB, spell prediction to me isnt as good as swype.

I put a screen protector on my RZ today. Didnt help swype at all, so its definitley not an issue with skin sticking on the glass.
Which means either it cant keep up with swype ( ) or maybe the screen isnt as responsive as it should be.
Anyone know of any apps to test if there are bad areas on the screen?
I downloaded it from the Swype website and it works great! I am definitely a Swyper for life!
I noticed this as well. I don't think its the screen sensitivity since no other apps have problems scrolling. Not sure what it is, might play with the settings some in swype for sensitivity. Wonder if the screen resolution has anything to do with it.

I think it works well. I have had to add a few words to the dictionary, mainly bad ones, but otherwise I think it is good. I like the OEM look. That is why I use it over swype or something.

This happens to every single rezound, around the keys in the middle of the keyboard.
It's a Swype bug.
They know about it. It's all over the Swype forums.
I'm waiting patiently, and swyping SUPER SLOW until then. really annoying!
HTC Trace is nowhere near as fast/accurate, but still works. Strangely, you can't trace in a lot of things (like website URL's, searching for things, etc etc. Only messages and a handful of other places).
Swype hasn't worked for me from there site, can someone toss a link my way thanks Davey

Thanks, I hadn't heard about this. The only trouble I've had is Swyping in landscape mode. Maybe I'm just not a fast Swyper!
I'm having problems with Swype too ... sometimes losing "track" of my finger and outputting 2 words instead of my intended word.
I'm curious if the resolution is causing problems for Swype since this is the first 720 resolution phone?
And when you say it is all over the Swype forums...where? I'm looking and I haven't found one post that remotely mentions a problem like this.

I've had the 3VO for a week now and it's great. I'm coming off of an EVO, and I'm noticing that the Swype keyboard is a little different.
I've seen some posts from other people mentioning the same thing, but I have a specific question.
Does anyone else coming off of the old EVO find that this new Swype keyboard is very inaccurate? It seems to always recommend some crazy ass words.
Anyone have any advice on the slider setting for the word choice window and the speed vs. accuracy? I've been messing with them, but haven't seen any improvement.
I tried using the stock keyboard, and I don't like it.
How did the newer version of the keyboard get so much worse? Also, why can't you hide the stupid language button? It shouldn't be on the keyboard.
Sorry for the rant, but I love this phone and just a little frustrated with the keyboard.
I'm pretty sure the problem with it is that this is the older version of Swype like we had on our OG EVO until they OTA updated them with the newer version of Swype. I agree, after using the newer version, I can't stand this one. Hopefully, they'll update us with a newer version as they did on the OG EVO.

Personally I think someone should be shot for implementing this. To many options are never good. I always hit it at the wrong time, and then you have to scroll through like 598 languages just to get back. Sucks. How many purple people actually use it? I'm guessing about .008% of the people that use swype. Cmon swype devs...remove it please.

The Evo 3d comes with Swype 2.5 which seems to suck in every way. If you root your phone, you can uninstall it using Ti Backup and then install Swype 3.0 beta. 3.0 is so much better it almost doesn't even seem like the same keyboard. Swypeinc.com
Rogers EVO did not come with Swype
Beta 3.## works awesome tho
Language button position is perfect for me, because I switch from French to English all the time
Does anyone else have an issue double tapping to select a word with Swype 3? I've installed it twice and always come back to 2.5 because it irritates me too much.
I've always hated Swype, but I was willing to give it another shot after seeing that it was preinstalled on my phone. The version on the 3D made my feelings even worse. It was one of the first things I removed after rooting my phone.
I've had the SGS II for about three weeks now and have continuous issues with keyboard input accuracy. From the Samsung and stock Android keyboard, to the ICS hacked version (and then the Market version) as well as Swiftkey X - I make mistake after mistake regardless of whichever one I'm using. I'm coming from a Captivate where the text input seemed a non-issue on any keyboard I used. It almost feels like the touch panel/digitizer isn't aligned with where my fingers are touching.
Does anyone else have issues with keyboard accuracy? I love this phone but this issue is really preventing me from enjoying the experience.
I'd highly recommend the ICS keyboard linked later in this thread. Much better than what I initially posted.
Swiftkey X works perfectly fine for me.
I'm using the ported ICS keyboard found on the market and it works very well. There have not been any problems for me at all.
Just installed it and I find myself making the same mistakes as any of the other ones. It's so weird...I've never had this problem on the Captivate and other phones in the past.

Happy camper here
I see a couple ICS keyboards on the Market, can ya provide a link? I'm always up for finding something new although as I mentioned already, I like SKP.
I am using go keyboard from the market with go launcher and I noticed the button( keys) are bigger. But honestly I don't have any issues with my keyboard calibration works fine. I sometimes not a wrong key but that is my fault and not a calibration issue. Possibly you can calibrate your screen? Never have done it but I think it can be done. Maybe a bad phone also?

I was able to eliminate this problem by loading the cognition rom. Im not sure exactly why it fixed it but i assume it because it is an international rom that was ported.
im using the swype beta 3.6 doesnt really need to be "accurate" since all you do is "swype" it. but it is fairly accurate for me if i have to type with it.
I'm using the swype keyboard on mine Galaxy S2, I am a new convert from the iPhone and can barely type on this thing. Thank God for swipe. It appears to me that i have to hit the upper portion of the key to make an accurate key press. If I hit it dead on I get the key below it, strange.

ICS keyboard form the market is awesome, fast and extremely accurate. I havent had any more keyboard problems.
I use the newest update of Swype and its definitely not as smooth and accurate as it was on my cappy. I'm On my second sgs2, and have had accuracy issues on both. It's not horrible, just not as good as my cappy. It's the only thing that was better on my cappy compared to this phone, so I'll deal with it.

Yes.. flashing a rom and having no earthly idea why it just magically fixed is quite a solution! Let me jjust drop everything I'm doing, lose all of my time and effort of making my current rom the way i want it so I can flash the rom you are assuming fixed it without any facts or reasoning so I can make you happy.

Yes, it seems like you have to hit the letter you want about 2mm high. At first I thought it was because I was converting over from the iPhone, but two months later I still had problems. I have kind of retrained to hit the buttons on the upper half. I am going to try the ICS keyboard.
And a goodnight too.
I was wondering if this is how big the swype beta keyboard was suppose to look.. On my dinc it looked a lot bigger..
Thanks!
That's what mine looks like....what seems to be the concern?
It just... It seems so little!
maybe it's because the Rezounds screen is so BIG
Probably well thanks for the quick reply
Swype doesn't yet recognize the build.prop of the ICS ROMs for Rezound, since it's not actually released yet.
Just install an apk from somewhere. If you're signed up for the beta, I can't imagine how this is a violation of terms.
I use the one from the GNEX forums that is made up for ICS. The only odd thing about it is the extra space on the sides in landscape (it's there because the GNEX has those home/back/whatever buttons always at the bottom of the screen)
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/22/swype-now-working-on-galaxy-nexus-thanks-to-modders/
Swype still seems to have the touch-break issue if you swype quickly. Swype is not planning on fixing this issue. They think it's related to the refresh of our screen, and how Swype doesn't account for it (since our refresh rate/resolution is rare). They don't imagine spending any time fixing that.
Guess I must not swype fast enough - I've never seen any problems with it
(had to google touch break to figure out what it was)
The only 'problem' I've run in to with Swype was just after the first install of it...but this is how I fix it

Swype works fine on my rezound, and at normal size. I am using an old/previous version of Swype. Do a Google search and you should find it.
guess I'm not sure what the 'normal' size of swype is supposed to be then
*confused*
I can't stand the stock ICS keyboard that takes up 2/3 of the screen this is perfect

Anyone have this apk? The link in the post referenced is no longer active. Still searching the web for it, but thought I'd ask in case anyone has it. Trying to get Swype working on ICS.
Hey guys!
I have a small favor to ask, and I figure this is probably the best place. I was wondering if anyone with the Note could open up a quick text message with Swype on and try something for me.
When the keyboard pops up, take your index finger and swipe back and forth very quickly on the letters. You don't have to type anything specific, just go back and forth fast.
Could you let me know which of the two scenarios occur?
1) Nothing happens until you finally stop swiping and when you do, you get one long word and/or a message saying that it wasn't recognized; or,
2) You get a bunch of small words that are being entered WHILE you're going back and forth.
One of these two have to result, and I found some inconsistencies with the touch screen today.
Thanks <33
Both occur depending on speed when I go at the speed I would have used on my Captivate it breaks it up into little words (used swype for almost two years so quickly) but when I slow down it works normally. I found this issue out when I first got my phone and sadly had to switch from swype as I cant swype near "full speed".

Ok, so I'm assuming that you're saying your Note is affected by this as well?
I ask because I was in the vicinity of a few other Notes today. The issue was confirmed on 2 out of the 5 devices. You could not force the Swype to break on the other 3 no matter how insanely fast you swiped. I have a feeling the issue is a little more wide-spread that I had originally thought. Swype is literally unusable for me in this state, I can't swipe nearly as fast as I'm used to, and it causes me to actually type way slower than I'm used to because of it. I have a replacement on the way, but I wanted to dig a little into the problem in the meantime.
Edit:
I wanted to add, it doesn't matter which rom I'm on, which version of Android, or which version of Swype. I've tried it all.
I don't have any issues on mine. I do use the s pen tho. Pretty damn fast too. Quick question though, do you usually Swype back and forth whilst typing etc.

Swiping back and forth is just a surefire way to reproduce the problem. For someone that swipes fast, it makes the problem a real issue. A friend of mine on an unaffected Note tried using mine to swype and he instantly recognized that he wasn't able to.

Just out of curiosity, and only because I just did this, what happens if you boot into CWM and format cache (not dalvik). It's the option under mounts and storage -> format cache.

Sounds like you have a good Note.
I've formatted the cache partition about 40 times since I've had the Note. My problem persists through all of that. It was an issue with the stock GB, and DAG's ROM, and the ICS roms that I'm testing now. They are all the same.
I am envious of you. Hopefully my new one will work right.
Other tweaks I've made since upgrading to ICS has been to reduce my animation transitions to .5x (from 1x) and reduce VM heap from 256 to 128.
Just trying to think of any little thing that might help for some reason.
Edit: also have 2D rendering forced on in developer settings.

Edit: interesting. just tried the same using my finger instead. get short words a lot. sometimes none, but often it starts breaking it up. So I think someone else reported this same finding so it must lie somewhere within that. To me though I hate using swype with my finger. Unless I just washed my hands there's way too much drag to swype quickly. With the s.pen I can go twice as fast and oddly enough this issue does not appear.

Yep, that's the issue. I dislike using the s-pen for Swype, but that's totally a preference thing. I can go as fast as I need to with my finger, most of the time.
There is a variable here somewhere. You are inflicted with the same issue with your finger that a couple of us have, where I've personally tested this on two Notes where I could confirm it wasn't a problem. I hate to just think it's some flaw in the touch screens, but I don't know what else to try.

Ok, huge android fan here, been thru several android phones. I find that on this phone, text input is not accurate at all and is quite slow.. No matter what keyboard I use. I never felt like this on anything other android device. Is it just me?
Its my biggest complaint. Text entry i a total pain. I thought maybe its the tapered glass, but the s3 had it too, and I had no issues using the same keyboards.
Please chime in

Swiftkey for the win. I picked up a DNA last night, and to be honest only used the stock keyboard long enough to get my back restored. No issues with Swiftkey on it.
I'll chime in here with Swiftkey also. I have been using that since release and never looked back. So far I am enjoying swiftkey flow even though I was never a swype fan. Flow's word predictions are excellent.
I've been using Swype since it came out and it was one of the first things I installed on my DNA, No problems here at all.
using swiftkey flow/swiftkey, no issues since day 1. you should make sure your not pressing the screen with another part of your hand/fingers as the screen goes right to the edge of the phone, sometimes i find when im watching a video the side of my finger might touch the screen and pause it. You might not be used to a phone with such a small bezel.
Just got my DNA, and I have no trouble typing at all.
you know what? for the last two years, ive swore by the GB/ICS/JB keyboards as they were nice looking and very accurate. To me they suck on this phone, maybe its me, maybe its the screen size, idk, but I will say this, I used swiftkey before and wasnt really a fan,
BUT
i just put it on my DNA and it has solved my woes! Thanks for the input guys.
Silly question, but have you done the touchscreen calibration? Settings -> Language & keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced -> Calibration Tool.
Not a single issue for me. Especially coming from a GS3. I can type rather fast on this keyboard lol
