Hi. I just noticed today, Swype tends to consume a lot of data! I am running ICS on my phone, and saw that Swype has downloaded over 200MB of data in a span of 1 week!

Is this happening for anyone else?

Not sure on updates data usage but http://handheld.softpedia.com/progChangelog/Swype-Android-Changelog-107707.html lists versions/changelog, perhaps check back if you see its using data and see if there's an update it recieved. Also the Swype forum may help, it's annoying they don't use the Market.

Thanks for that link dancedar. :) I think I know what caused the high download volume! "Enabled language downloads for over 50+ languages". I can't think of any other reason, as I installed Swype around 10 days back only. I tried posting in the forum, just couldn't get this image to upload! Will try again using a link to an image host.

Swype doesn't support ICS properly yet! http://www.androidce...-cream-sandwich

Which might be the reason you're seeing a lot of data transfer... failing connections or something.

Ahh, that also probably explains it! Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up cybertimer2008. :)

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
