Swype trace not working

dougw03 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-29-2011, 08:40 AM

Hello,

So all of a sudden when I try to use Swype, I can't see where it is tracing. It will still work, I would just like to know where my finger is actually going. I tried rebooting, worked once but now it seems to be a permanent problem. Do I have to hard reset? Thanks

load the HTC keyboard then the swype one. it should fix the problem.

Same solution but seems weird this happens.

I have the same problem. Swype is kind of terrible now.

I've had the same issue; I don't know but this version of swype seems worst then the beta

You can enable "trace" for the stock HTC keyboard and it does the same thing, but better in this case IMO. You can also pick your trace color as well.

HTC trace has trouble recognizing new word tracing immediately after you use single or 2 letter words like 'i' or 'it'.

you guys should also try swiftkey.

when the phone goes into power saving mode, the trace f's up for some reason. if you reboot, it'll be fixed.

I don't use power saving mode so I don't seem to have that issue. Does it not work at all or is it just buggy?
