Severe set up problems on new s3. Please help.

Please help. I bought a Galaxy s3 yesterday and I am having
real difficulty with the swipe function. On my previous Droid-X with Swipe Beta
and Samsung Fascinate with its built in swipe I could key in any word I want by
individually pressing keys. The auto correct only intruded when swiping words. With
the S3 it won’t let me key in non standard words. For instance I can’t use the
browser to go to trafficland.com because it changes trafficland to Thailand. My
nick name is Jimbo. It won’t let me type that in so some of my online accounts
are not accessible. And really weird, I tried to use the word “us” in a text
message and it kept capitalizing to “US”. If I turn off predictive in the
settings it also turns off the entire swipe function.

 

I tried to install Swype Beta as an alternative input.
I enabled security to allow non standard programs and it successfully
installed. When I try to activate it I get a “network error” message. When there
is no network error I am over  wifi at
home.

 

I am still in the 14 day trial period. If I can’t get this
straightened out I will have to return it. This is not useful.  Please help it is better for both me and Verizon
to get it working so I can use it.

Why not just install Swype beta on your new phone?
