hmm.. mine worked both ways.. can anyone confirm that after they install and set their phone to SWYPE and use it and then soft reset that swype STAYS as the default keyboard? On the previous version it didnt... it would revert back to the standard keyboard each time you rebooted.. I had to (and still am) using a program that runs at bootup called SIP CHANGE to set the keyboard to SWYPE after a soft reset...


oh and can anyone confirm what is different other then a different colored popup word suggestion list and a little bit different on-screen keyboard layout?

Thanks....

FORGOT to mention.. make sure you turn on WORD SUGGESTION as by default it is OFF..

it's pre-installed on S3 ROM, so it might be a problem with mighty. I first tried on an older version of s3 taht didn't have it and it worked, but i didn't check the email stuff. then i tried on stock since i was planning to flash to s3 8.5. so i dunno... but thanks for the email fix, should help others. So aside from taht issue, it seems good for you? People should mention what ROMs they have and if it works or not.

THats what I am trying to find out.. I did notice a few things:


1. the on screen keyboard is a little different (is this a WVGA version or a multi-resolution version)

2. the pop-up for the word suggestions is a different color

3. when on certain places where you would type and would rather have a standard keyboaed VS swype, such as passwords or email addresses, you can now type one letter at a time and it types like the regular keyboard and also pops-up the regular windows word suggestions...

anything else different on this version? I would love to know ....

The old version of SWYPE (2.0) worked fine on mighty and didnt corrupt the mail accounts.. this version does but once you install, then fix the accounts, you are good to go.

just to note in case the SWYPE TEAM SHOWS UP HERE ... all of us would pay for swype if you made it available. its the best keyboard out there....

not sure what else is different, but the keys fit better for wvga. i like how they made the enter button nice and big. it was tiny as hell on the previous version....
