Hi guys, been a few months, but I'm back with a question.
Been using the swype beta for my hero and the trial period just expired today and won't let me use it anymore (unless I change the date on my phone - you know that old trick)
is there a place where I can get a newer beta ? I don't want to keep setting the date back.
Thanks.
Trial period expired???
Working perfectly fine over here.
which version are you using ? Swype's website says its a 3 month trial
i'm using version 1.16.12.5228
Yeah I've got the same issue. Really come to like Swype so really want a solution!
Same problem here... got the expiration message yesterday.
Is there any solution to this other than waiting for an official Hero release from Swype?
My phone is much less usable without it.
Have you given Shapewriter Keyboard a try? It is very comparable to Swype.
I personally like it more than Swype.

Yeah, I'm using Shapewriter now. It's okay, but I prefer Swype.
I like how in Swype the keyboard takes up less space on the screen, and I like the use of a pop-up to handle ambiguous traces.
SlideIT
Hi
I use SlideIT.
Really good, and many language packs.

Tried out both SlideIT and Shapewriter and both pale in comparison IMHO.
Anywho I found a link that works (and it won't let me post it as I'm a new user!). It's on the droid-eris.com forums, with the title "Swype Trial Period Ends!!!!!!!!!!" Good luck finding it.
had the same problem... this worked

how do i delete this post :S sorryy...
I'm glad I've found this post, I've used others like SlideIT and Shapewriter, and nothing compares to the speed or accuracy as Swype.
I liked SlideIT for it's accuracy compared to Shapewriter, but the Shapewriter keyboard was was nicer.
Swype blows them both out of the water, my beta trial ended too and I've been searching the past few days for a fix. Thanks for posting this.
I wonder how long until conventional keyboards are replaced with software like this, it's simply amazing.
I mean even if somebody could write software like this for an analog keyboard, it would help disabled and people with only one hand or arm to be able to type as fast as anybody else by sliding their fingers accross the keys.
After using Swype, texting has never been the same for me, and it's hard to go back to conventional methods.
The swype apk has been in the Nexus One section for quite some time now. If you've really been searching for a few days it's a shock you hadn't found it yet.
not a shock considering I only stick in the GSM hero section and don't venture off to other phone forums. thanks for the tip though.
Thanks! Swype seems great, there are some stuff i miss in SlideIT.
But is it possible to get Swype in swedish, otherwise it's pretty useless for me right now.
hi all, i am newbie to this android stuff..
i have search info about swype, that it's so fantastic to use keyboard in swype way.. So, i have download and installed it from link above.. What i want to ask is, why I can't change the keyboard input method to swype on my phone? Is there any phone requirement for swype? Like must running eclair first?
Btw, my phone is HTC Hero with donut rooted.
Same. I've installed it but can't work out how to use it.

New Swype Version
Heya all
Discovered this Swype version hiding in the depths of the internet It hasn't expired and doesn't look like its going to!
So I've attached it all for you guys!
Enjoy!
Is it multilingual?
Anyone noticed that swype new version 2.4.44 is not accurate as the old one ? Please share your experience with new swype

I thought it was just me having ot get used to swype again after the phone was getting repaired for 2 weeks, but I've noticed the same thing. I spell out a word and it comes up with its usual swype random jibberish I've learned to know and love, but now it's done way more often then before.
Annoyed with the new version too, more buggy to my idea; takes longer and mostly suggestions with the bigger words..
Is the issue in froyo version?

Yeah I find that I am making a lot of errors with this version (xxJPK).
I am thinking about uninstalling and installing the version directly from Swype...
Swype like a lot of phones keyboard that suggest words "learn" you writing, it means that over time the phone will choose a word instead of an other because he know that you used more this word that the other
I have my Droid Pro and I have to say it is BY FAR the best android device I have used (and I have used most of them).
We need to get the Dev community over to this forum and working to make this device even better.
If any senior members see this, let everyone know that Droid Pro needs some TLC.
AGREED! I came from the Incredible, which is really an amazing device. The Pro, however, suits all my needs professionally. And the keyboard is really kick-ass. Have you tried Swiftkey with this keyboard? it works better on the Pro than it ever did on the DInc.
I agree with both of you.
I came from the Eris>Incredible>X I love my PRO.
DEVS please show us some love !
I'm willing to test BTW
Port this phone to sprint and I'd leave my Evo in a heart beat. Love the qwerty and android mix. I don't think it can get much sweeter.
Maybe if we all ask http://twitter.com/#!/koush politely he will begin working on a recovery for us ?
As soon as some kernels start coming out I'm going to be so happy. I have no problems with blur since I removed a bunch of apps.

Hey guys, I accidentally deleted my droid pro email.apk file. Can someone please give me a copy of the file or if there is any link from where I can get it?

I know its not what your asking, but you could just install K-9 Mail, it's better then the default client as it supports push mail. email.apk only supports push on gmail. Personally i deleted my email.apk and don't want it back.
I just ordered mine today. I can't wait to get it!

Popularity = Development, and I hate to say it, but this phone simply doesn't have the popularity factor. I am also one that believes this is the beast Android I've owned (out of 4 models) however a lot of the Hardcore Devs look at it as a BB wannabe. The Qwerty is awesome, and coming from a 3 year stint with Touchscreen only keyboards (minus the Droid 1, but I NEVER used its physical keyboard) I didn't realize how much I missed a good physical keyboard. Case in point, you would have never seen me ramble on this much in a reply sent from any other phone simply because I was tired of typing, however with this phone I could just go on and on, but I won't.
I really hope this phone has a huge holiday push so we can see some more Dev love, but I'm really not holding my breathe. I'm happy with the way it is and can live without all the custom Roms if I have to.

I hear you and I agree 100%. The keyboard is amazing. Have you tried Swiftkey with this keyboard? It makes me fly even faster. The only downside is that the microphone button won't bring up the speech-to-text feature as it does on the stock keyboard. But it's simple to switch between keyboards if you need that feature.
At least we've got root, thanks for Z4Root. Now if we could just get a custom recovery, then it would hopefully be fairly easy for a dev to port a custom ROM from the Droid X to the Pro. Hopefully...
Swype re-opened beta's for android users. Just registered and downloaded whole process takes 5 minutes! Hopefully my search was correct and no one had posted this yet But anyway its here now!
Just head over to beta.swypeinc.com

It's because you don't have your browser's UAstring set to Android.

Too late lol, its working good though

yeah, i am heavily enjoying it. i have never had swype on either of my droids so its a big upgrade for me. feels and works awesome im amazed at how well it recognizes the right word even when my fat fingers hit the wrong letter haha.
After trying swype on the galaxy tab I had to try it on my inc. I am liking it so far. Pretty neat really.
So on two phones I'm using this beta, officially signed up for it, installed through the official installer, all that.
After a re-boot on one phone swype just ceases to function, it acts like it's expired. An uninstall/reinstall fixes it but very annoying.
On the other phone, I get an error message saying it was designed for a different device and some functions won't work, and the primary function that doesn't work is... swyping the words. Uninstall/reinstall fixes the problem.
What the hell? Using unauthorized versions in the last 6 months it's worked perfectly, now using an official beta, trying to go legit, it doesn't work. Both phones using the SkyRaider 3.3 ROM (exact same configuration on both, both phones are launch date phones).

Not sure what that could be from. I have been on a lot of roms in the past 48 hours SkyRaider not being one though got stuck on CM 6.1 and in love lol. Maybe there is soemthing new in the code that messes things up? I dont know about code unfortunately but i have NO problems so far. Wish i could be of more help
Easier fix for the not working after reboot: long press in a text field, change the input thing from swype to something else, then change it back to swype. Should fix it.

I had issues with Swype not detecting the occasional, uh, swype? Switched back to the default keyboard. Now using IncredibleGingerbread and the multitouch keyboard is better than Swype by far. Fast and accurate.
mine gets stuck every now and then and I have to just go back to stock and back to swype.
Currently, I think swype is amazingly accurate. I feel like I'm just scribbling on the keypad. I'm never going back.

Try changing keyboards then back to swype. This solves the problem for me.
Btw is there anyway to backup the user dictionary between installs?

I'm using the new FireFox 4 Beta. What is mobile view? Can I enable/disable it on my phone if so where?
Also i've always used the standard keyboard and I type with my thumbs. I am finding it rather hard to swype with my thumbs.
Do you guys use your thumbs or index fingers? Also any suggestions for someone converting from stock to swype to get my adjusted quicker and be able to use it more naturally other than just time?

Type very fast with all 10 fingers and pretty fast with two thumbs on the Dinc. But using this Swype for the last two days it's a struggle and have only been able to use my right thumb. Do seem to be getting better all the time though.
Was a major PITA to get it to work with Better Keyboard for some reason.
FYI for all you Xoom owners. You MUST be completely stock to get this update. Apparently running the ☢ BigDX Xoom|Zoom Theme ☢ 3G & Wifi Only ☢ will send data that the Swype servers don't understand.
"There was a data error, likely due to a bad network connection. Please try again."
So you just need to revert completely to stock then run the installer and it will go by without a hitch!
Your Welcome.
Hi, thanks for your post but i dont have installed this app what you said.
Go back to stock isn't it worth for swype...!
Finally swype on xoom! Bout time!
Ummmm your a little late. I already posted this and the link about it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122823
Second you do NOT have to be stock to install Swype 3.0 on your Xoom. I know cuz I did it.
Please search before you make a post. Also make sure you know what your talking about before you give people the wrong information.
I use Swype as my main keyboard for my Xoom, I don't think it is worth going back to stock if you really like the theme or rom. It's great but it has a ton of glitches. I am mainly using it as my main keyboard to help beta test. I think it will be worth it when they update it at least once.

I had been using Swype since last fall on a Nexus 1 and loved it... thought it would be a great improvement for the Xoom, but I really dont find it helpful... doesnt seem as slick as the smartphone version. If trying to type like a real keyboard it tries to connect the dots, and does so unsuccessfully. Even when its shrunken down to the smaller GUI its still not great as a 'swype' keyboard. The auto suggest is consistently wrong and the keyboard seems to struggle with using the .com button.
I went back to stock keyboard...which works well as a qwerty keyboard.
On the Swype forums, they've stated if you're running the Tiamat Rom it can cause issues with the communication between the device and the servers.
They were trying to reach out to BRD last I read.
