I've been trying to get Swype working on my Rezound and I've got a problem. It initially appears like a hardware problem, but I'm not entirely convinced.
Basically, when Swyping words across the middle of the keyboard, Swype will sometimes lose my finger in the middle of the word. Obviously, this makes it seem like one word is two, and makes Swype all but useless on the Rezound. Because it generally occurs only on the middle of the keyboard, I thought it might be a problem with the capacitive touchscreen in that area.
However, the HTC "Trace" keyboard functionality works just perfectly. The Swype problem doesn't manifest on every word, but often enough (like 10-20% of the time) that I can get it going pretty reliably. However, Trace has never lost the touch in the few days that I've been using it.
So, there's two possible explanations -
1 - it's a hardware problem, but HTC Trace is doing something in software to recover from it and keep the word going (like a longer timeout before it thinks you're done with the word)
2 - it's a software bug in Swype.
If it's #2, then hopefully someone else here with a Rezound can tell me they're encountering the same thing, or not!
