Swype 3.9 won't stay selected - HD2 General

Good morning
I've installed Swype 3.9.10.10.5032 and when I go into settings, input and select swype instead of touch input it won't stay selected. Is there a way round this as I just can't get Swype to work?
rom version: 1.66.405.2 (76641)WWE (HTC Official)
OS: 5.2.21869
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
Network: Vodafone UK (phone is not specific to network operator)
Will appreciate any advice/help
Regards

Have you selected it from the keyboard screen? I have both Swype and SlideIT installed and I just choose between which one I want to use via the keyboard button when texting/e-mailing/web browsing. And it stays selected, give it a go.
If not, try to uninstal and reinstall?

Ah never noticed the upwards facing arrow before to select different keyboards (stupid me). Once I select swype it says "Open of English US failed!". Once i click on okay the phone goes really slow and the swype logo is in the bottom but no keyboard is shown. If I press on the swype logo nothing appears. Any suggestions on how to load the US keyboard or preferably the UK one?

That happened when I deleted Swype from my Energy ROM, I am guessing it is displaying it because it doesn't have the language pack installed.
Uninstall and reinstall see if it helps.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting the same issue. Any thoughts? I really appreciate the help

Do you get an error when you soft reset? I had an issue about a language pack pop up before WM had even loaded when I managed to mangle my copy of Swype.

yeah still getting the error when I soft reset. I'm assuming that a hard reset is in order then?

It shouldn't be, as you're on an offcial ROM, if it was cooked in as mine was that would be the way to go. You should be able to uninstall and you're good to go. But I suppose if you can't seem to get rid of it it might be the only suggestion I have.
However don't just take my word for it, I am sure someone else must be able to help you.
I would however suggest giving Dasur SlideIT a go, you can try the demo or buy the full version for $8/£5. http://www.dasur.co.il/Product/SlideIT/WindowsMobile/download.php Imo it's a much better keyboard, takes a bit if getting used to but I love it now.

well I've been putting off trying new roms because I needed to backup, so I think I will backup and try a cooked rom and see if I can get swype to work and will also try SlideIT

If you're gonna hardreset you might as well flash a custom ROM while you're at it for sure.

If youre using swype from a cooked rom i would of thought it would run ok but Swype as good as it is does have probs (v2.0, 3.9 that is). Its a common prob in regards to the us dictionary error and functions not running properly like pressing a key for the alternate character not working.
I use slideIT and swype from the Omnia, works much better, faster, sure they keys are a bit smaller but the press for alternate character always works etc.

Problem with PocketCM keyboard

When PocketCM keyboard 9 was done installing, I tried to load it and it says" This version of pcmKeyboard can't be run after 09/15/2007. Please go to http://www.pocketcm.com to get an updated version."
So I go to the site and re-install the program and I get the same message.
Does any one have the same problem? or
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Michael
Yeah Me too..Why?
anyone???
have a solution to this?
thanks.
I change the date to solve it..
There
Must be another way to do fix. Changing the date wold be annoying.=/
Yeah it would be anoying
Did you completely uninstall previous version before installing it?
I uninstalled the previous version and reinstaled v0.9 and still the same message. On the PCM site it says "Please note however: it's currently a time limited test release, you'll have to update after 10/01/2007 with a newer version." Looks like the kill date might have been programed in wrong? I even tried installing v0.8 and got the same message however.
I don't think so, as quite a few people are using it absolutely OK (including me). Maybe you'd be better off posting this on the developer's website forum?
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/index.php?9
or in the PCM Keyboard thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
just in case this thread doesn't catch Tene's attention
Hope you get this sorted out.
just a quick fix... temporary only!
set your date before 9/15/07 or day 15 or 14. then install sipchange. select pocketcm keyboard from sipchange. set date to present.

Uninstall, soft reset, check that pcmkeyboard.dll doesn't exist.
Install 0.9b (just published), to make sure you're running 0.9b check in the option dialog the version number. (if no version number appear, it's not 0.9b)
Should be fine until 10/01/07
If you're limited to 09/15 it's definitely that you got a previous release.

I tried this, but can't remove the pcmkeyboard.dll file....
well after reset, and installing 0.9b it apperently wasn't needed. It works again now!
thanks

I wonder, why all versions of PCM Keyboard apparently are timebombed in the first place. I haven't seen this very often - if at all - here at xda-developers. I think, updating should be an option, not forced.

Pocket CM Keyboard

I've been using pocket cm keyboard on my 8125, but now I get a message saying this version cannot be run after 11/0|/07. I was using version 0.11. Does anyone have the version that can be run after 11/01/07 and post the cab for the download?
Thx!

i'll host!
i get the same thing. I think you just have to download the new one off the pocketcm site

I need help actually installing it. I installed the cab file... and you know how you have to change the keyboard from the little triangle by the keyboard button (you know what im talking about). anyway, I change it to Pocket CM, and it switches right back to the origional. what is going on.

steph... i tried that, it didn't work sadly .. I must be doing something wrong.
Ok.. i started over with everything. Removed the Pocket CM from my phone.
Installed the CAB for the SIB thing.
re installed the cab for the pocket CM (iphone one)...
Then, tested it to see if it worked. Didn't (but other keyboards were added strangly... and they worked... except i have no use for them and i want them gone )
Then i found another keyboard that looked cool.. installed the cab (by the way, to the main memory.), didn't work either. even after a few soft resets
has anybody ever had that problem, or know what im doing wrong?
Using a Windows mobile 5... t-mobile MDA. QVGA screen.

Swype problem

How do I get this to work?

The thread suggested is closed and i couldnt find the answer you were after either. I used to have this working but since i hard reset to save/clean up RAM the phone works great except i now get your error message. This only appears with v3.9 from the T2.
Based on various forums this is a common thing. Also stuffs up internet,email and many other settings (for some anyway). No fix on all of these forums except to use the Omnia extracted version 2.0. IMO this is quicker, the hold down key for numbers actually works unlike 3.9 which is very hit and miss. Sure it doesnt look as good as the keys are a bit smaller etc but use something like Lesscro skin and it looks great and actually works.
However for me anyway if you use Wifi and it can lock your phone or the keypad dissapears for some reason, turn Wifi off and it works like a charm and is very quick.
sorry for the essay

Strange looking keyboard (energy rom)

I've recently installed the latest Energy rom on my HD2 but the default keyboard is looking a bit strange, the bottom row of keys seems to have shifted upwards.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
Also, on the second screenshot, I've noticed that the menus have changed but there is no mention in the changelog on the website. Is this normal or have I changed a setting somewhere?
Thanks
hhmm did you hard reset after flashing?? and the menu can be changed in hd2 tweak maybe bsb tweaks also im not sure. its something about using windows menu's i think its system menus in bsb tweaks mate, that should change it

No, I just flashed it and reintroduced my propgrams/backups.
Will it be worth trying again and hard resetting it?
you should hard reset after flashing mate,

Oh ok, cool! How does it make a difference? I would have thought that a flash was as good as a hard reset, is it not a format/clean install?
Thanks for your help mate.
well it is kind of, just gives the flash a clean base to start the rom up on, just the way it is lol

I beg to disagree & BTW, that doesn't even make sense! The "flash" that you mentioned is already starting off of a "clean base". You DONT need to hard reset after a flash. Flashing in itself is like Hard Resetting.
The problem you are facing could be because of one of 2 things
1) Your backup has registry / program files that are replacing newer files from the rom. If you normally make use of automatic restoration by means of SDConfig.txt or XDA_UC, try not using it this time while Hard Resetting and see if the problem persists. The easiest way to do that is by popping your card out.
2) Occasionaly something goes wrong when chefs are 'baking' their roms, so to speak and they might end up putting out bad roms with problems. This could be a result of that.
i'm on the same problem after HR and updated settingd from XDA_UC.
before was great so this is probably after update.
After a hard reset, I installed all my cabs indiviually and worked out that it was the cab that add extra currency symbols to the main keyboard that was causing this. I'd found it from the Leo Hints & Tips thread. I uninstalled it and is reverted back to normal.
50. Enable All Currency Symbols from Main Keyboard
If you want to input the Euro, Yen or Pound symbol, you have to tap on the '12#' key and then go to page 2. A bit cumbersome. Now you can have access to all of the currency symbols just by pressing and holding the 'f' key and then drag to choose the symbol you want. Install cab below to device main memory only.

Swype 1.54.28.7337 QVGA with LS fix

More info on my blog:
http://marurban.netii.net/?p=95
I tested it on my HTC Wildfire. If someone test, please write if it works.
Isn't this warez?
EDIT: Tested, works for a few seconds, then FCes. Would be great if it worked, as I don't think the official Swype supports QVGA. What is LS fix?
Tattoo has a QVGA resolution, I tested it on Wildfire in the official version does not work landscape mode.
LS = Landscape
If on (tattoo) the official version works in landscape mode please delete the topic.
Well, your version doesn't appear to work at all...
Where can I get the original version to test? From market?
sadly i tried it and it force closes

I'm trying this right now. I also tried the version without LS fix (with PT fix) and that FC as well, so the problem isn't in the LS fix.
EDIT: No luck Would be great if someone got this going...!
