I updated my firmware and now have no uk option on swype. Can anyone with a regular uk tab let me know if it was there before the update, as I never looked?
If so I may have to go back!
I'm at work now so can't check (I cycle to work so don't take the Tab until there's a fitting to mount it!) but I've noticed it keeps putting "z" in words that we spell with an "s" and it also keeps putting "76ers" instead of "cheers" (I'm from ooop north and use cheers a lot) and I cannot stop it from doing that, I don't even know what 76ers means or why it would be in my dictionary!
I've complained to swype about it but never had a reply (it also puts "god" a word I'd never, ever, need to use instead of "good")
Yes, you should have English UK as an option under language settings for swype.
(I was planning on including a screen shot but the xda app tells me it isn't a valid image format.)

Thanks for the speedy replies. I guess I either need to go back & lose the brower mobi/full site switch or just learn to live with it!

Has anybody notice that the swype keyboard dos not go to full screen.
This only happens on the att tap. I played I mean tested Tmoble & VW tab and both worked correctly.
I call Samsung and they told me that the att tad has an older version of swype on it and that I should return it for a new one, but all the ones I tried from att have the same problem. Att gave me a full refund.
If I reflash the tab will the swype keyboard work in full screen?

My Euro Tab with stock firmware wouldn't go "full-screen" in landscape with Swype, but flashing to a later firmware fixed it.

If Tmob's swype.apk will work on AT&Ttab, I could upload if you want.
I would like to try it. Thanks

Here we go. I'm not responsible if you install these and your Tab is not working.
Please don't ask them to "fix" it. I had a T-Mobile tab, and hated the extra finger movement. If you want to touch type, switch to a normal keyboard, leave the nice compact swype alone.

i noticed something with the swype as well (on sprint). sometimes the kb would just disappear. i can't get it to go back up so i can type. usually happens on browsing.
rcb, how did it go? Thanks!

This is actually a better solution for swype use than the "newer" firmware, IMO.

After the Euro ROm flash to have voice call back, Swype disappeared on my AT&T tab. Wonder if I could just use Tmob one. I think I should be okay but wanted to check since he asked to try.
haven't had a chance too do it but thanks. I will let you know.
Cant downgrade
I have a Rogers Galaxy Tab and also have the smaller fullscreen swype. My Swype version is newer than what is posted here, I have 2.7.49.12483.
If I forcibly remove swype and install the one here, I can tap-type but swype seems to have no language set (greyed out in swype options) so I cant 'swype'. On reboot the device magically reverts to my newer Swype with small keyboard in landscape.
I would love to find a solution that allows me to run the old Swype on my Rogers tab.
(as an aside, SlideIT keyboard runs fullscreen on Tab, but I'd still prefer Swype)
The new swype beta will resolve the screen issue I believe.

So when i had my stock htc keyboard befote i rooted i loved it. It knew what i meant to type, made the correct suggestions and the most accurate autocorrects. Then i flashed the gb keyboard when i was using warm. It was a big step down in terms of prediction and auto correct but still worked. However now that i am actually on a gb rom, evokings gb v8 (evervolv), everything has just stopped working and its driving me NUTS. it doesnt auto correct, doesnt predict and fimish my words for me, doesnt input a period after two spaces. Let me give you some examples. If i accisentally type looj, why the hell wouldnt it turm that into look? Note the above errors in that sentence that i didnt even mean to type that it shpuld have easily corrwcted. Before when i typed prob, it would turn that into probably as soon as i hit the space bar. Also it would do punctuation ofr me, like turning doeant into doesn't. I have double checked all my keyboard settings. Its taking me like 3 times longer now to type a mesaage because i have to go back and correct all the minor errors. What changed and why doeant the keyboard work how it should? Somebody please help me out

Did you manage to get around this issue? Have the same problem on my desire. And to make matters worse my typing seems to be getting worse with every passing minute :-( it is becoming practically impossible to type in portrait mode. Is there a keyboard recalibration setting somewhere?

I've switched to go keyboard. It's doing a decent job but don't know how safe it is to use this keyboard. It can record key strokes and there arent too many reviews either

Does this only occur in the browser?
Hey everyone, not sure this is the right section but here goes.
I am running a rooted att 2.3.4 atrix and using swype. my keyboard randomly collapses while i am typing. i dont thing im hitting a specific button or anything, just randomly decides that im done typing. usually happens after occasionally right as i swype a word, as in just when a new word is inputted.
any ideas?
Thanks
edit: ps was working fine last week, no changes in software since this started happening
Had this problem when I first had my Astrix. I solved it by completely deleting my "dictionary" and disabling it. Lg you go on settings and on input then choose keyboard settings, you will find your personalised dictionary filled with words that you have been using which are not included in the phone's dictionary (usually slaNg words).
Sorry for any typos. I am Swyping half asleep here. If you mange to solve your problem, which I am sure you will. Don't forget to give thank me.
Let me know how it goes.

thanks for the response. I deleted my user dictionary but cant find the setting to disable it, still having the keyboard issue. i am running att 2.3.4 if that helps.
cheers
Weird. That did the trick for me. Unfortunately, I am on CM7 at the moment and I don't think I think the keyboard settings are different or they have been moved but keep looking for a way to disable the user dictionary and see what happens.

Ive recently started to have this problem too with swype. Ive also typed words and have seen the travel path trace but no words show up. i have to close then reopen the keyboard. looking for a fix. Im unrooted on Bell
Anyone else see this? Does anyone know the specifics on what the update does?

Where do you see it?
Yep, got it two days ago. I have since switched to SwiftKey. No desire to try it.
i would like to know also
Just got the notification this afternoon and downloaded it. I switched back to SwiftKey a few days ago, but the LG keyboard did have promise, so I'll check it out soon.
No idea what has been updated.
Seems like European D855 never get keyboard updates. Isn't even listed in app updates.
Today my european d855 got the new keyboard..
Isn't there new features to set collor of the keybord and keyboard hight etc.. Its good changes.

whats the version number?
It's 5.0.27.
I find it laggier, but need to test it more to be sure.
Just updated it. Can't notice any difference at all. No idea what they changed tbh.
I just received the update in my LG D855! Version 5.0.27 and about 46mb! I found new updates in predictive language
I get this update too 5.0 27 and it's install automatically....i don't know the difference
Sent from my LG-D855
Got the update here in India as well a few days back. Looks to be under-the-hood stuff. Probably optimizations rather than anything major. A lot of people had previously mentioned that the 'lag' on their phones noticeably reduces when they disable/uninstall the LG keyboard(there are a couple of threads about this 'tweak' as well) - So maybe there was indeed some poor memory usage or implementation that LG identified and fixed.
Anyway, never really liked or used stock keyboards. Swiftkey is the best when it comes to localized words/dictionary & cloud-sync.
I never noticed the ability to use handwriting before. Maybe it was always there but I just didn't see it.
For me the update just changed the predictive text. If you type car for example it would show an emoji of a car (stupid imo) and now if you type 2 words with similar character it will auto correct to the last one you used so constantly auto correcting to the wrong word for me making it unusable

Just got my M3 from China because I wanted to get an LTE version, which is not available in the US.
I have set language to English, and set time zone to Pacific, but the tablet still thinks it is in China. Websites that are multi-lingual show Chinese characters, when I try to create a Huawei Id it says "County/Region: China" at the top.
Any idea how to change this? Seems like a nice tablet so far, and the LTE is nice (Google Fi), but I am not sure I am going to take the time to learn Chinese just to use it.
Thanks!
Dave

I deleted or deactivated all Chinese applications. I manually installed Google Play. Installed its applications, including Google Chrome, keyboard, etc., and I only stayed at Hivoices Chinese characters. I have adjusted the default application to mine.
Thanks! I wound up doing the same thing. Was just hoping there was a way to tell the tablet where it really lives. Reminds me of the old DVD region days...
One related note, on HiVoice... I was playing around and got to the place where you can use your voice to wake up the tablet. It wants me to say something 3 times as my "wake up" word, but no matter what I try I cannot seem to get it to accept anything I say. It is telling me, in Chinese, what I should say -- and clearly I am not following directions well. Were you able to get the voice wake up to work, and if so - what was the trick?
Ditto re PlayStore, Google Launcher, Calender etc
If you change language to English US first, then option for USA should be available. Australia as country was available after changing language to English(UK) on my M3.
