Swype

[ajhessler06]

I just bought the Droid X. How do I get the swype software to install/run?!?! On my keyboard there's no swype key to hit so idk what I am missing.

Anywhere you can enter text, long press and a menu should pop up that lets you chose the "imput method". Select that and you will have an option to select swype.

go to settings>language & keyboard uncheck android keyboard and select swype

or

go to any text field (browser, messages, ect) and press and hold on it. when a menu comes up select "input method" then swype.

Anyone having issues with Swype not auto spacing? I have checked and unchecked the box and still won't work. Have switched back and forth between multi touch and Swype to see if that would work and still nothing.

Just to eliminate the more obvious... do you realize that it does not add a space until you swype the next word?

 

[Sydman]

Yeah I got it working had to uncheck it then change keyboard to multi tap then check it again and go back to swype and it started working.

No auto space/capitalization after period

It places a space between words, all right, but it's not auto spacing after a period and auto-capitalizing the first word of the next sentence. It treats all periods as though they were the end of a website/email address/file extension (e.g. .com or .net).

How do I get it to auto-space and auto-capitalize after each period like it did in my Samsung Omnia 2? There was an option for it there.

So far, I have only been able to do one or the other. If you space after a period you do automatically get a capital...interested to hear if there is a setting I am missing..

I would like to figure out how to delete words from swype...when I try to do a capital I...I often get ki...which is a word I don't have a need for

 

[doctorjan]

Just found the answer. If you drag from the period to the space bar, it puts in the space and sets up to CAP the next letter/word. A little more work than it was on the Samsung, but I'll just have to get used to it.

As for deleting a whole word, place the cursor at the end of the word and hold down the delete key on the keyboard.

It's odd... I was so used to using a stylus for the slightly smaller Omnia 2 screen, and I can't use a stylus with the Droid X even if I want to. My fingers a a little bigger than the average, I guess, and I hit the wrong key A LOT. More practicing needed, I surmise.

BTW, usually, I find that just hitting an "i" and then moving on, automatically capitalizes it and makes it an "I."

if you're rooted, i think the Ultimate Droid 1.0.0 rom includes the droid 2 swype keyboard.

UD should not be including swype in its roms

I thought that too at first. But I guess its cuz its the droid 2 swype, not the beta. And I read that it was ok'd by the mods here and allowed to be kept in the rom. I can find that statement if you want.
