Swype Keyboard Freezing... X2

So the other issue I have had is with the Swype keyboard freezing up on my Droid X2. It gets to where the keyboard doesnt even show up and if you press the screen there is like blue splotches where you are pressing. (sorry that is the best way I can describe it) I ended up just switching back to the regular keyboard and it works fine, although I do notice lag when the phone is plugged in and charging, but I just unplug it if I need to text, so no big deal... but I was wondering if there was a fix for the Swype keyboard so I could use it again....

Have you tried Clearing Data for SPWYPE (settings / applications / running services / downloaded / click on SWYPE & press Clear Data.)

But honestly, it sounds like an App is getting in the way. Have you tried running in SAFE MODE and testing to see if the problem persists? Have you done a Factory Reset after GB ? Many ppl have had great success fixing wierd issues like yours by doing so.

I did do a factory reset right when I got the phone as a precaution. I will try the clear data and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions...

very strange .. You didn't happen to try to UPDATE the version of SWYPE did you?? 'cause you can't. The version that gets installed as part of the FR is what it is, unfortunately -- even though version 3.x has been available at SWYPE for over a year. I don't understand why Verizon/Moto won't release it to us.

Nope, unless my phone did it on its own, which I doubt from how you are talking. I am just using the version that came with the phone...

I have been just been living with this same problem. I know when mine started - right after I updated GoogleMaps,GPS Essentials, and the shift from Market to PlayStore. I have tried removing the updates to these and the safemode thing mentioned above without success. In the last month my X2 has developed a new issue - right after a bout of blue keyboard lock-up the screen won't wake-up (the menue keys light but screen remains dark).

I am curious to learn what has happened kalojado and if Cody21 has seen anymore issues like this..
