[Q] Swype Issues and FRG83D

Did FRG83D OTA update yesterday. Noticed that Swype was not working. It would track across keyboard but nothing would appear in text box. Uninstalled both Swype and Installer, dowloaded invite again and opened Installer. Keep getting the message "ID of this phone doesn't match registration at beta.swype.com." Tried this several times
Nothing was changed on the phone -- still original Nexus unit that Swype was installed on, as evidenced by no option to "reset" my phone info.
Hope someone here can help since Swype no longer offers e-mail support and their forums seem difficult and useless.
Any advice to get Swype going again would be appreciated.
MY PHONE IS NOT ROOTED.

I would suggest uninstalling everything and rebooting. Then, install the "Swype Installer" again and go through the process of installing Swype. After you have successfully finished, you need to wait for a dialog that will popup giving you the option to enable Swype. Click the enable button at this point. This will occur after their software has checked to make sure you are in fact in the beta.. if you dont do this, you get symptoms of what youre experiencing

I always use titanium backup, but since you're not rooted, hmmmm

Crachel -- thanks for the quick reply. Uninstalled Swype Installer and did re-boot (even went so far as to reboot by battery pull). Downloaded invite again but still get same "ID of phone doesn't match..." when trying to launch installer.

Is your phone showing registered in your Swype Account?

Swype always stops working when an Android update is applied, requiring users to reinstall it. Very annoying but I assume it's some way to keep unregistered users from using the beta.
In any case, go here to figure out whether you can just reset your ESN or if you need to contact Swype to have them do it on their end:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1353-The-ID-of-the-Phone-doesn-t-match-your-registration.

The phone info shows my Nexus One (which is correct). There is no way for me to check the ESN even when I am logged into Swype.
You are right that every OS update required a re-installation of Swype, I think I remember one time when I had to contact them to re-load the ESN. The problem now is that if you send them an e-mail they tell you to check their forum (which I've yet to find helpful).
I'll keep trying and will update this thread if I have positive results. Thanks to all for your help!

Has anyone installed nexus one packages on their tablet?

Has anyone installed the nexus one browser, contacts, calendar, and launcher on their tablet? Basically, I hate all of the Samsung Apps and want a plain froyo rom. I'm willing to install packages from my nexus one until I find the time to build one...

You should be able. I installed the calculator apk from my nexus one into my tab, cause the euro Rom didn't come with one installed, and it works without an issue.

I've been wondering the exact same thing (minus the launcher - I'm using adw since that's what comes in CM for my N1). Since it's barely been a week since purchase, I'm still a little afraid to start pulling apks over to try it out.

I tried, but I get a "replacing system package" warning, then the install fails. I tried this with my tab rooted and unroored

I think the nexus stock browser is a lot faster and more stable then the stock browser on the tab. I tried pushing over the browser.API from the nexus. But unfortunately everytime I start the browser it immediately closes. I just wanna try it out and see ignite any better.
Bump..

I am using ADW Launcher instead of Samsung Launcher and DialerOne for the dialer but I am missing the simple calculator that was on my CM 6 Nexus One.
Samsung apps are just ugly.

Not 100% sure, but some apps are dependent on the framework of the rom. You can't simply start swapping things out. Contacts and dialer are one of those things. A lot of applications rely on other things that's why they won't work. Once someone cooks up an AOSP rom for us then we can start tinkering in the world of Vanilla...
I'll gladly support someone porting over Cyanogen mod.

Youlu address book, miren browser, launcher pro, half way there already!

I have installed Calculator.apk from CyanogenMod 6.0, it works fine.
I tried to install Music.apk from CM 6.0 but it is blocked by crappy Samsung's MusicPlayer.apk. So I used TitaniumBackup to remove MusicPlayer. Then after reboot it still did not like it, because it seems Music.apk contains native code. So I tried Music.apk from beta CM 6.1 for Galaxy S and it installed just fine. Unfortunately it doesn't show music controls on the lockscreen so it must be a function of the lockscreen. So it is not better than Music Mod.
I would recommend everyone looking for vanilla music app to use Music Mod from the market.

My phone is grayed out on android web market

When I select a paid app, my phone is grayed out, but my Desire is not. Desire is currently running stock ROM but Nexus S is on MIUI.
I tried my friend's Desire running the same version of MIUI and he can also download paid apps. So why is my phone grayed out??

hover your mouse over the phone that is greyed out and it will tell you why it's greyed out.

It says the item cannot be installed for this device. I know for a fact thats not true. It's saying that for all paid apps. Ninja Kaka, launcher pro etc etc

Hrmm this has happened to me many times before. Once I even lost a paid app (Bartender Buddy). Funnily enough also happened when I was on MIUI on my Motorola Milestone. Have seen it a couple of times on the Nexus S... I think it has something to do with permissions that developers or google set...
Notably the Car Home app. Found that I had to use a workaround on XDA forums to install that on MIUI. So it may depend on the ROM or the Device. Maybe contact the developer of the app you're trying to install? I've had good experiences with their replies. The dev of bartender buddy even refunded me.

I ask because i had a few applications that where not rated "Compatible" with android 2.3 or the phone model, so they would not install properly. I had to use TI to restore the app on my phone, it then re-created the market link and everything was fine from there.

I want to bump this because I have this problem on Miui and ZuluZulu, but not CyanogenMod. I made the app so I know it is compatible with 2.3.4, but the market shows it as incompatible. I'm convinced this is a problem with the market app in these roms.
Here is the app just looking to see if those using these roms show it as compatible:

Aha! Seems the new market apps have copy protection deprecated already.

Swype voice recognition not working

I'm on ginger blur if it helps.
When I press the mic button nothing happens... Anyone else having this issue?
On my gf's atrix (stock) it uses that motorola voice recognition one. Can it because I don't have that? Can that be changed in swype settings? (i didn't see the option to change)

I ran into this same issue. The solution was to download vlingo from the market. Works flawlessly now.

This worked for me.

It's no google , but it'll do I guess. Overall is it as accurate as google?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I dont like Vlingo anywhere close to Google. I was watching this thread hoping someone could present a solution for restoring Google voice commands to the Atrix.?

So I've done quite a bit of research on this issue.
It seems that the version of Swype that comes preinstalled on the Atrix has Vlingo setup as it's voice recognition engine - and there is no way to change this. Upon installing GingerBlur, Vlingo is removed as bloatware and you're left with a dysfunctional voice recognition button.
So, you have two options:
- Reinstall Vlingo
- Uninstall Swype, sign up for the Swype beta and install that instead
Doing the latter will give you a much better version of Swype, and it's voice recognition engine is the built in Google one.
In order to do so, first sign up for the Swype beta from beta.swype.com. When you do and finish activating and such, you'll be sent an email with a link to the download URL to visit on your phone.
Before you can install it however you must uninstall the current Swype. MOTOROLA doesn't make this easy - you have to manually remove the files.
The two files you're targeting are /system/app/Swype.apk and /System/lib/libSwypecore.so. I used Root Explorer to move them over to the external SD card in case things didn't work out.
Once they're gone, you can go ahead and install the new Swype Beta from the installer that you have downloaded (after logging in with the account you made)

[Q] New Market and FC

Hello!
New Market on motorola Xoom Wi-fi every time I want to upgrade giving me FC. I don't know how to fix it. Tried to delete upgrade install on the Application but it is upgrading by itself. Tried to clear the cash, clear data.
Nothing helps.
Please, who know how to fix this problem? Looks like new Market doesn't work on Honeycomb.
Guys, help me, please? I really need your advice?
Thank you!

What market version do you have?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

If you have Documents to Go installed, remove it. It has a problem with the manifest and Dataviz needs to update it, you can use the version from their website in the interim.
Or grab today's free Amazon Apps, Quick Office and Quick Office HD.

Tried everything. Market. 3.1.6, market 3.3.1.1 or something like that, all of them giving me fc.
Guys, please, I need a solution. Can somebody give some advice, please? Or maybe somebody have old mafket app flashable trough cwm? Because google doing nothing for honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

The problem is almost certainly related to an installed app, if you don't have Documents to Go installed, started removing apps one at a time until the market begins working properly and report back when you identify the offending app.

I had a thread for the same thing a page or so back.
documents to go didnt seem to cause me much grief (but i removed it anyway), but i did have a problem with Enhanced Email FCing the market (which i also ended up removing on the xoom, working fine on the desire).
noticed my market updated itself to 3.3.1.1 (or similar) the other night too - same problems as the last version.
just waiting for ICS update now and will see if that fixes stuff - I imagine it will and/or devs will update their apps to ICS

Do you have apps that you side loaded that the market reported as not compatible? I get the market FC any time one of my side loaded apps tries to update.

I found that it was a certain alternative market that caused me to "loose" all of my apps... I thought that it was the new market and even went back to the moray 2.2.1 to have the old market.
I figured out it was that other market because I uninstalled it and bingo, I had my apps...
I was pretty stupid and used titanium backup to "force" the market links and ended up with one heck of a messed up android market.... Now I am working through that..

Uninstalled the app called "Download all files" and sims like everything working for now.
Thank you very much!

actually i think i had getjar on there... that's missing from the supermarché now - I wonder if that was the issue
i was also guessing that by the time ICS hits the xoom - and all the devs update their apps for that most of this issue should go away

FWIW, I had the exact same problem I uninstalled Enhanced Email and the problem went away. Too bad, I really like Enhanced Email!
