Question: the Swype instructions/tips say that to remove a word from the dictionary, you double tap to highlight it and then tap the swype key - when I double tap, nothing happens. Am I missing something, or am I an idiot, or is this a known issue? One of the few things that bugs me about swype is when it puts some random sequence of letters in there - I really need to be able to delete stuff from the dictionary. I've tried reinstalling the beta, and I still can't double tap on a word. Thanks in advance!
Try long press on the word, choose select text, then press the swype key.

Okay, here's what seems to work - long press after the word to delete, choose "select text" and you get a selection tool for the cursor, then you can slide it to select the word, then pressing the swype key pops up a dialogue asking if you want to delete the word from the dictionary. Seems to work fine, though it can be a little tricky selecting the word you want as you can only select in one direction - although you can also use the d-pad(?) to select. I was hoping that there was a way, double tapping or with a long press option, that it would automatically select the word. Thanks for the input - pun intended
EDIT: After poking around on the Swype beta forums, I learned that you can only remove words from the dictionary that you have added yourself - this wasn't clear, and is why sometimes it seems not to work. So for instance, I will probably never use the word "erl", but it's in the dictionary to stay. Otherwise, the method above should work for any words you have added yourself.

I used to dread having to text people with the samsung keyboard. I even tried better keyboard . Swype keyboard has been god send specially on the behold 2 . I was lucky to have jumped on the beta as soon as possible. It deserves to be on the top 5 best android apps and should be standard in 2.1 android and beyond. my iphone buddies dislike that my phone can do what their phone can't
Now all i need is 2.1 android on the behold 2 and i will be more than happy.
yeah I'm a week in too. But this one is easy. download the file, you'll have to hunt for the one that fits the behold or it'll say wrong screen size. then put it on your phone with the usb cable. Download AppInstaller form the market (free) and when you open it, till recognize the apk as an install file. From there the instructions are on the sites that have the file.
Note: I will sometimes delay a few hours or a day because of my duties and responsibilities, but you can always count that I will respond.
I do not guarantee that I will be checking this post regular but please send the email and I will send it to you.
The Swype app I have provided was a trial that expired yesterday (20100514). Now if you all want to have a working Swype for BH2 (and I don't ensure that it will work on another platform, please refer to: Did your Swype expire?

It automatically adds a space after each word. Or when you use a comma or period, you can just swype the space key after it.
ohh okayy. that's the one i'm using now. i found out through my obsession of flashing that there's only a certain amount of times you can install the beta version haha
has anyone had any trouble installing swype since they installed BH_MAN's R8 rom? I had swype with the R7 rom, and it worked fine. (And I got HOOKED!) I used the same file to install it this time, and it said it installed just fine. But it doesn't show up anywhere on my phone.

Any ideas?
If it installed make sure you go to Settings>>Locale and Text and put a checkmark on Swype. Then longpress in a textbox and choose Input Method and after choose Swype.
The lastest version is "Swype1.25.16.56.apk" your best friend google will help you get that working.

Thanks. I feel incredibly stupid. I forgot that whole "locale and text" step.
Thank you for sending me Swype. I wonder if there is anyway to make the keyboard bigger. I didn't know I have fat fingers until now.
I believe that you will be ok with it (i don't think you can make it any bigger). It take a while to get used to it, my strong suggestion is to do the tutorial included with the software, trust me you will feel much better once you complete it.
You can access the tutorial from the swype button in the bottom left corner of the keyboard
I've installed the latest version, thanks Mastermind. Though the actual "swyping" doesn't seem to be working. It's not recognizing any words I swype, only if I type the old fashion way. When I fist launched Swype in a message, it told me that it was intended for a different phone and that I would have limited functionality. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Did you install it from an APK or from a backup? I get that error when I try to restore from a backup. If you used my best friend, google, to find the 1.25, you can try to find this one with it "Swype_MT3G_G1_ v1.25.16.5612.apk" and see if that one works. Make sure you uninstall the old version first.
Has anyone experienced swype losing simple words? I had to re teach it breakfast and the word "have" it was weird
I have notice it too, but if you think about it, its bound to happen. There are so many of combination of swypes you can do that can mean other words that sometimes one takes precedence over the other depending on the usage you give that specific word. Its a flaw, yes, but I think its one that we can all live with.
Don't get me wrong I will keep using it. Swype was the first thing I put on my phone when I got it. Just saying weird to lose a simple word like have and breakfast something I have swyped over and over I had to add them as words.
I still have a stock behold II (still in 20 remorse period) so I haven't upgraded ROM (nor know exactly how....tips maybe?) Anyway is there anywhere I can get the swype keyboard, because the standard keyboard is driving me crazy. I tried the link a the beginning of this post, but is not working. Any help would be appreciated.
when my phone restarts after its powered backon i get a notification about it may not be for this phone..i'd have to restart it to get the exact msg, but does anyone else get anything like this? it never happened before but lately i keep gettin it
