Reverts to default keyboard at reboot / restart
After I updated my device to Jelly Bean, Swiftkey keeps returning to android default keyboard after restart or shutdown. I uninstalled the keyboard and re-installed it but nothing happened. Everytime the phone loads the OS i go to setting and configure again Swiftkey
2,956 votesUpdate:
We have contacted Samsung regarding this problem – they acknowledged the issue and have checked that it does not occur in their latest update. They intend to roll out Android 4.2.2 to Galaxy S3 users in the near future (unfortunately we don’t have an exact date), at which point the problem should be fixed.
Explanation of the issue:
We are aware of the issue where your phone reverts to the stock keyboard on reboot and we appreciate that it is very annoying.
We are currently in contact with Google Play to see if there is anything that they can do to fix this.
The issue is that Google Play installs paid apps in a particular location on your phone and that in some versions of Android (particularly 4.1 on Samsung devices) this location is not available at the point in the boot process where keyboards are being switched on.…

Word prediction no longer working
Worked great for a couple weeks on my Galaxy s 3, no no word prediction or auto correct which makes typing 10 x longer to achieve! SwiftKey 3 is essentially useless with out it. In fact, its horribly frustrating. Anyone know how to fix this issue??

All the languages dissapeared [*CM10]
My system in galaxy s2 running cyanogen mod 10. Recently all my languages in swiftkey have disappeared. Not only they disappeared but also there's no language list in the language menu in the settings so I can't redownload any languages. This renders swiftkey virtually useless which is disappointing for an app I paid for.
618 votesHi everyone – please can you give us a bit more information to help us figure out what’s going on here.
1 – Does this happen when you turn your phone off and on again? Or could you be typing happily in one app, switch to another app and suddenly the languages are gone?
2 – If you go to Settings > Languages&layouts, tap the menu button and choose “update languages”, does the language list return?
3 – If the language list does return when you do #2, do you have to redownload your chosen languages? Or do they reappear as already downloaded?
Thanks

Hi all, Swiftkey dev again.
This bug is really hard to diagnose, but assuming it is a problem with the backup service, could you try stopping the Google Backup Transport? You can find it under Settings → Apps → All. Just force stop it and see if it has any effect. Thanks for your patience on this. -

In the latest build of SwiftKey (4.0.0.106), we have made it so that there aren’t any special SwiftKey functions in Kingsoft Office. We’ve looked into this issue in great depth for you and unfortunately there is only so much that we can do on our end. This adjustment has been made so that SwiftKey users can at very least enter text without things going completely out of control.
Due to its nature as a keyboard, we work diligently at having SwiftKey be compatible with literally thousands of applications. Our advanced technology makes this an even more complex task than it is for other keyboards. We’ll continue to refine the SwiftKey experience whenever and wherever possible.

"spacebar will" is broken
Even though the spacebar is set to "always insert a prediction", it behaves just like the method "always insert a space". If I want to insert a prediction, I have to press the middle area above the keyboard. The two other inserting-methods are working as they are supposed to.
This wasn't a problem before Swiftkey 3. I am using a HTC One S with a Norwegian language and layout.409 votesHi everyone, we are looking into this problem, and we apologise for the inconvenience as we understand that it is very frustrating.

If you can please add a comment stating under what circumstances the cursor “jumps” that would be very helpful – thanks.
Details of SwiftKey version, phone, Android version, and what apps and text fields it happens in – these will all help us to narrow down the problem.

Keyboard not popping up / appearing when I try to type.
Galaxy s3 mini on jelly bean. Latest version of swiftkey 3.
The keyboard does not appear / pop up sometimes when i click / press in a field. This happens in all fields as far as i can tell (messaging, whatsapp, browser).
I have to go into settings and change the keyboard back to the stock keyboard. Use the stock keyboard for a bit, then change the default keyboard back to swiftkey and it starts working again.

not scaling correctly / custom DPI
App does not scale correctly at higher resolutions/ lower screen density, keyboard is roughly 1/3 the size it should be with density set to 190 on my rooted EVO. Stock density is 240, I usually run it between 170 & 195.

Prediction selection should replace entire word, not just letters prior to cursor. / dangling letters
When editing an entry I'm still typing, even if I accidentally get the cursor in the middle of a word, SwiftKey almost always has the correct spelling in the prediction window, but choosing the prediction only replaces the letters left of the cursor, leaving a space and the remaining letters to the right which are difficult to delete without several keystrokes. Please have selecting a suggestion when in the middle of a word replace the entire word.

Prediction bar disappears
The prediction bar disappears all the time.
For example when going to the settings then back to entry in a text field.
Only way to get it back its to switch to another input method then back to swiftkey.
Will only consider buying this when fixed.
(Wow, typing text in those dynamic fields from a mobile certainly is painful! )213 votes -
