Swype problems
 

Anyone else having issues using swype on their Evo 3D?

I replace my TP2 with this. On my TP2 swype worked great.

On the Evo 3D with the larger keyboard it is basically useless. I cannot even get simple words like "you" right.

Anyone else having issues?

So... Playing with sensitivity did not fix the problem. Resetting did not fix the problem.

I ran the swype tutorial and ... it fixed the problem. I do not understand how or why, but it worked.

Make sure you don't press the "en" button by accident or it switches to the Spanish dictionary, that threw me for a loop the first time I did it lol.

You can also enable the trace input on the touch input keyboard. Better than swype v2.5. Swype 3.0 is probably the best but cant install on the evo 3d yet.

why not i have swype 3.0 beta version on my phone. I signed up as a beta user. I went to swypeinc.com and signed up . on the home page it tells u click here to join then once u give email information they send u a link u open that link on ur phone and in that link u have to click and input a code then it downloads to ur phone. Its good so far the text size is a killer i can bearly see it with my plain eyes gotta wear my glasses. might uninstall it today. no i figured out how to make text bigger. open up a text message press menu more text size.

Is your EVO 3D rooted? If not, how did you install the new version of swype over the existing one (that is provided by default on EVO 3D?)
I know that the recent update to EVO 3D bumped our swype version to 3.21.87 - but that really isn't the latest version.

(If your phone is rooted, what you suggested would certainly work)
