Anyone else having this Swype problem?

[Ogre840]

So my issue with the pre-installed swype is any time I type a one letter word, it doesn't space in front on it.

If I type 'i' it will correct it to 'I' but it wont space it correctly. Anyone else having this issue? Any remedies, maybe installing the "beta?"

Driving me batty!

make sure auto spacing is turned on ?
otherwise maybe it needs an update

Tried disabling and re-enabling auto-spacing, and it still wants to exclude the space for single letter words.

And it only does the first space, so "This is a test" becomes "This isa test"

:-/

*Edit*
Went to the Swype forums to see if there are any users there with issues, and my goodness is that a big mess. No one can post in the right sections (Under the Samsung section people are posting with issues on their EVO 4gs, Motorolas... etc) and the few replies I saw from Devs were kind of snooty 0.0

Going to try a different keyboard for now

Having same problem here. Tried swype on my sisters motorola defy and it does put a space before single letter words as it should. Hopefully there's a fix for it soon

Same problem here. Looks to be a Swype bug on the Epic 4g touch. Pretty dang annoying...anyone know of a fix/work around?

Can also confirm I have this issue. Let's hope for a corrective update in the first update.

I'm using SlideIT as a replacement, and liking it more than Swype actually: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dasur.slideit.vt.lite

So far just using the trial version, the full version is kind of pricey though :-/

I've also noticed another problem with swype where I can't turn off the word suggestion feature. I tried deselecting all the boxes in the swype settings but it just keeps on suggesting words right above the keyboard as I'm swyping away. Anyone else have this issue?

Try Gingerbread Keyboard.....much better in my opinion.

As this is leaning towards being a keyboard based post I feel the following appropriate.

I'm a fan of the Swiftkey X Keyboard. It can learn from Facebook, Gmail, Twitter or SMS. I was quick with this on my Evo and I love it on my E4GT. I actually hated it on my Photon, it had a lot of lag and it didn't seem to like the qHD resolution. (the lack of more than 2 multi touch points didnt help either). I'd give it a shot, pretty good prediction engine.

?

Can you still use swype with this keyboard?

Make sure you check the right language. Mine was set to spanish, and that screwed me up.

Just thought I'd post that I also have this issue with my E4GT - and never did with my Epic 4G

Are you accidentally hitting the button squashed between SYM and comma? It's in a terrible place and easy to hit on accident.

But I found a solution. Hold that button down and a menu will pop up, allowing you to DE-SELECT Spanish as a language option. This way hitting the button on accident again does nothing.

Happy Swyping!

I never looked at the button before, have you came up with any thing for the single letter word spacing?

The spacing issue is a bug. Hopefully Swype and Samsung are working on it.

Yeah, that Swype forum is ridiculous... Fix can't come soon enuf, Gingerbread keyboard is really REALLY good, best one there is, but once u've swyped, ur spoiled rotten.

I'll tell you, the speech recognition button on Swype keyboard is REALLY good, i've been using that (when no one is around me : ) and it works with almost 100% accuracy ....
