I'm running CM6 on a Motorola Droid.

Every now and then (at least once a day), my keyboard will revert from Swype back to the Stock Android Keyboard and I have switch back to the Swype keyboard to be able to use it again.

And sometimes (at least once every other day), the Swype keyboard will be completely disabled and I have to go back into Settings --> Keyboards and re-enable Swype.

This is starting to get really annoying. Any suggestions?

  • What happens if you try other alternative keyboard? Do you lose them as well or is it just Swype?

  • I've not seen this behavior. Then again, it IS a beta.

Reset to default

I believe this problem was caused by having Swype installed to the SD card. Moving Swype back to the phone's internal storage seems to have fixed the problem.

Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->Swype-->Select "move to phone"

    It's so irritating to see the OS differentiating between storage locations.

Good question... I'm experiencing this currently although the app is already living on my phone. A quick fix for me seems to be un-selecting Swype as the alternative keyboard (see steps below) and then re-selecting it. Then I will then have to reset Swype (i.e. long-press in a text field, select Input Method and select Swype).

Settings > Language & Keyboard > Swype

Just a suggestion: is it possible that you have Swype on the kill list in your task killer?

(NOTE: I have a Droid as well, and have not experienced this. I do not run a task killer though. Also, I could not live without Swype.)

Try relicensing it. That has worked for me in the past.
