Swype on cdma hero

I have been using swype keyboard and it was working really well on fresh 2d but as soon as I updated rom to fresh 2.1.1 it gave me a pop up message saying that "swype trial has expired..." can anyone verify if it is due to the new rom or to the swype people trying to ruin people's fun? can anyone explain? or send me a new working swype keyboard for cdma hero on sprint
thanks everyone

me too. exact same problem.
Should I switch back to fresh 2.d or is there a fix? I am typing this on the default kb and its killling me!

Try changing the keyboard input to the standard keyboard and then back to the swype keyboard. Here is from the FAQ for the swype beta
Q: I registered and downloaded a beta-version Swype but I get one of the following messages:
"The Swype package you installed is configured for another device..."
"Your Swype version has expired some functionality..."
A: On your phone, open the "Welcome to the Swype Beta" email and download the Swype-Installer again. Let it replace the existing installer and finish doing the installation again. There was an error in our previous installer version.
NOTE!!! On some phones, including the Droid and the Nexus One, this upgrade only partially fixes the issue. You may still see one of the messages above after upgrading to the newest version. The workaround is - Each time you turn on your phone, before entering text, you need to switch between the Swype Keyboard and the Android Keyboard. After switching back to the Swype Keyboard it should work fine until you reboot again. Yes, it's annoying and we're working on it - It's a beta!

Or you could download the version from the link in the post above yours and not have to deal with it.

I'm getting a lot more errors with that1.25 than on the previous version.. I'm guessing the odd lag and it not being made for our heroes is playing a part.

No I found 2.1.1 better than 2d

I was having tons of lag and swype wasn't registering double key strokes at all. I ended up playing with some settings on my phone which required a wipe and nandroid restore. When i did it I made sure to not restore with the old version of swype and did a fresh install. Night and day difference now. Not sure what was ****ing it up before but I'm getting significant speed and accuracy improvement. Also double letters are working properly again

Anyone notice that this newer version (1.25) acts a little different then the older version as in it doesn't figure out the words as accurately as the previous?? I think it was like 1.14 (the apk was swype..Micro.black).
Maybe its just a setting i need to reset, or maybe i'm just chasing ghosts. Anyone else experience this oddity?

I am a new Hero owner. A friend told me about swype. Just installed and I think it took maybe 2.2 sec to fall in love with it. I got meaty fingers, and it rocks.
Just a side note, running it on Bittersweet v1.2

Anyone else get that Swype isn't configured for this device, and then it basically doens't work. Swyping won't work, but typing out letter by letter will.
V 1.25.....

[Q] Swype

Hello
I am wondering, i have seen nice videos of Swype, and are currently using shubCRAFT 1.5 in combi with ChuckyDroidRom, what i would like to know, if it is possible that i can use Swype on this Android version?
on the ChuckyROM page i see a video with swype in it, but i cant seem to find any information about it, exept a beta sign up.
Hope someone can help, thanks!
EDIT: Another qeustion, with the shubCRAFT 1.5 i dont seem to be able to get my SIM contacts right.

And if i add one for example, i cant see them.
Thanks again!

Not sure about swipe I don't use it.
As for your contacts do you have them sync with your pc anywhere?
You can add contact files (i think .csv) to gmail then when you set up your phone it will automatically sync your contacts

Thanks for the fast reply
I already found something but it was not working for me, i found it tough:
Go to your display options, go to your gmail account, and CHECK ALL options, groups system android etc etc, not only "all contacts", after that and IF u have imported them, u will see contacts
Cheers!
(only the Swype qeustion left, and im happy again )

For the swype section.. i'm using swype on HyperDroid now
Just search the forums for " Swype for HTC Evo" and then you should find something like this " Noobproff guide swype for evo
Just download the apk from that thread and eanble swype from Setting/Keyboard and Input/ Check Swype .. then go to a text box, hold it a window will pop then from it switch from " android keyboard" to "Swype" and you're good to go
UPDATE :
If you're lazy enough here is the idiot proff guide

Go to Settings > Language and Keyboard > Check the box for Swype
Now go to a text box (sms for example) hold a finger down on the text box > Input Method > Swype
Go back to Language and Keyboard to change some settings for Swype, I usually play with it a bit to get it to where I like it

Swype not working in FRG83D

After updating to FRG83D I'm unable to get swype working. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but I still keep getting the same problem. Even though it's installed and selected as my keyboard under settings, only the stock keyboard shows up... I even updated swype to the newest version that came out yesterday I believe and same problem still. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not really help, but as a point of reference I am running FRG83D and the new Swype Beta is working on my phone.
I'm running Geo's ROM.
Since the previous update Swype has run slowly on my phone. The latest update doesn't fix it so I will probably go back to the HTC IME.

Not sure if this will help but i find the same thing no matter how many times i restore my device or load a custom ROM.
try selecting Swype keyboard in an individual app (obviously you need to have it set as the default keyboard in settings as well)
simply open an app (text message, email, etc) then hold down on the text box to get the edit text options pop-up and one of the options should be 'inout method' then simple select swype.
i think this is a bug....from my guess, they are just too swamped to fix some simple things.

Hmmm....i got my swype from 4shared.com and always worked.its a lil buggy on my N1 once in awhile but still running it fine though.btw my N1 is stock.
Sent from my Sexy Nexy One using XDA App.

I also run Geos latest ROM, FRG83D, with Swype 2.15.56.14870.t100
You must be part of the beta to get the installer direct from Swype

I had a similar problem, go to the Swype Installer and select "get a license"
All you have to do is deactivate swype and it makes one automatically

Yes, I have it running on mine. Just long-press on an input field until a selection comes up. There choose "Choose input method" and you can then select Swype.

[Q] HTC HD2 Swype

So I installed MAGLDR 1.13 and installed DFT_Android on my phone. Everything is working perfectly. The only thing that I have noticed so far that doesn't work is the Swype keyboard. There is no option to turn it on. It's like it doesn't exist. Am I missing something?
P.S Could of swore I installed Gingerbread 2.3 on my phone, but it says I am running 2.2 and certain programs on my phone recognize the phone as a HTC Desire instead of a HTC HD2 which is no biggy. Everything still works fine so far.
P.S.S This isn't a SD install either. It's running off the phone. When I boot the phone there is no more WM6.5 It boots straight to Android.

Just have a look in Settings->Keyboard & Language settings.
Swype should be enabled here.
After that hold your finger on a textfield and choose "Select input method" and then click on swype.
The swype keyboard should be set now.

as for your Swype keyboard problem, how did you install it? are you in the beta testing group or did you use a swype.apk? if you used the apk, you need to goto settings/language and keyboards, click on swype. exit out and goto any text input function and hold on the text box til a box pops up select input method and pick swype. if you are a beta tester, you should have downloaded the installer which should have walked you through the install and settings. if you have done all of this and still wont work, try un-installing swype, reboot phone and start over. good luck

When i got my invite for swype and downloaded it, it kept force closing when i tried to set it as my input method and wanted to type something. Ive seen a lot of people talking about swype not working on their HD2, and i dont know what the problem is.

Swype definitely works on HD2. It worked for me in an older ROM i had (don't remember which of the 100 i had )

On the HTC Desire it isn't. Even though I have a HD2 when I switched everything over to android there is no swype keyboard anymore.

Well I have no swype keyboard installed. I tried an app in the market but it keeps force closing. I installed it the way I do normal apps I download. Just download and install and save to Micro SD. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times under phone memory and SD has problems running on my system.
are you in the beta testing group or did you use a swype.apk? if you used the apk, you need to goto settings/language and keyboards, click on swype. exit out and goto any text input function and hold on the text box til a box pops up select input method and pick swype. if you are a beta tester, you should have downloaded the installer which should have walked you through the install and settings. if you have done all of this and still wont work, try un-installing swype, reboot phone and start over. good luck

No I am not in a beta testing groupe...

Sorry for the multiposts. I tried the multiquote button and it didn't work. I'm still kinda new to using this forum set up. Other forums I have no trouble multiquoting.
The swype keyboard I downloaded from the app market was.....
