Swype beta just expired.

This is getting very annoying, anyone have this problem just now??

Yeah, well they told us it would expire a couple weeks ago and made the latest beta available for download.

Yep it sucks. I had to buy Ultra-Keyboard as a replacement and while it has more options I just don't like it as much. Looking forward to when Swype is released.

agree, any idea when they are going to release it officially to the market???
i simply cannot function/sms effective using the stock keyboard.

Yes its very annoying, had a hacked version and worked fine. Did enroll in beta, and it stops working now and then. uninstall and down load again from swype installer

Same here with the on again off again swype ****. Got annoyed and bought the swiftkey kb when it was released from beta. I have to admit, being an avid swype user for a good 2 months, trying multi-touch kb's and such, I have to admit I personally like swiftkey a bit better. Seems to be better to predict words better when typing.

kpjimmy, how long did it take for you to get use to SwiftKey? I've tried it for a little bit like a text or two and found that I still prefer Swype. Then again I'm not a big fan of using the word predict. No idea why it should make my life more simple.
Good thing I signed up for the Swype Beta earlier so I keep getting up dates. I can't imagine not using it. I know some people using SlideIT and Shapewriter since they didn't get on the Swype Beta in time. They seem to like it.

I've gotten used to Ultra KB after swype. I'll wait for the official release until then.

Well personally, when I type, I mistype some of the times and when that happens, instead of erasing/correcting by backspacing my mistakes, the swiftkey app predicts the words I would most use in my sentence. I admit, I am not a frequent texter but I do use the kb to type in passwords (of course do not predict), but the userID's I use are remembered, which is a plus for me.
Really it is what you are used to and comfortable with. It took me only about 3 days to get used to it and for a buck I think it was well worth the money. Dont get me wrong, swype is cool, even my wife likes it and she's no teckkie. LOL. For me swype got old when I was using it lately and to me, loses the sense of touch-typing and at times, I forget what the heck I was intending to type/swype. Add that to the on again off again swype which bugged the **** out of me to go out and find a kb that actually worked. I even liked the multi type kb that eVil has in his roms lol.

I'm about over Swype. The new version's word guessing feature is so screwed up, I end up having to correctly probably 80% of the words I type on it. Swype has gone from a pleasurable experience to a frustrating experience. Boo.

This guy is hosting cracked versions w/o beta expire stuff.
Installed it and works well...Installing from some random guy is kind of sketchy though as who know if theres not a key logger bundled with it

You may want to edit your post and remove that link.
Warez, and the propagation of warez, is against the rules of XDA.
Just so you know, Swype Inc. has requested that their product not be distributed, making it warez in the eyes of XDA.

Thanks for heads up, removed.

[Q] Swype Beta

After numerous months, my Swype Beta invite has finally been accepted, however, I am currently using the hacked Swype v.2.4.44.10912. Other than getting the latest Swype version & possible future versions, what is the advantage of me using the new swype beta instead of using the version I already have and am satisified with?

Well...it's legal?
Otherwise any benefits of the new updates.
Rarely do updates make an app worse so...I don't see the negative in updating.

Yes, but it still works and I like it as-is. I appreciate your reply though.

I'm pretty sure one of the biggest updates in this version is speech to text. Don't quote me on that but I'm in the same boat as you. I have a theme mod on my swype so im not updating but I'm still in the beta. If anyone wants a swype beta let me know. Im not using it.

I hear ya...lol...I've waited months for my invite to be accepted and in the meantime, I've used several betas that were found online but have since expired and then I found my current hacked version that will not expire and I'm satisfied with it as-is. My primary keyboard is still Smart Keyboard Pro. I don't care about using text-to-speech. Heck, if I'm going to talk, I might as well call the person I want to talk to...lol. Anyway, I appreciate your reply. Thank you.

I also received an invite from swype and upgraded to the newest version. Will this beta version ever expire?

I would prepare for it to expire at some point like the ones before it, however, being that your invite was approved, you would more than likely be allowed to upgrade to the next beta, if there is another one.

Received my invite and dumped my hacked version. Haven't regretted it yet. hacked version even had mic for speech 2 text but I like the looks, feel and speed differences of the legal beta client over the hack.

I've had problems with the beta "locking" on me where I have to reboot for it to allow me to Swype again. (tap typing worked, but it's Swype!)
This happening to anyone else?

When that happens, I usually select to the default keyboard and then back to Swype. That fixes it. No rebooting

Mine has suddenly started saying "this version of Swype was not designed for this model phone" and then won't Swype. (I'm in the official beta). I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked for one word and threw the same error. I tried switching to another keyboard and back and still nothing. It worked fine for the first few days.
Anyone know if the new update will kill root?

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!

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

Or mobile view is turned off. All I had to do when I saw that was turn mobile view on and bingo.

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.

Swype Beta Open

Just FYI, the official beta is open here for those who want to try and get in

Just signed up, now I see what all the hype is about. This is cool!

It should work on 6.1 Did you have data available when you installed? If not, that may be the error, as it needs data to transfer for registration.

Did you uninstall all previous versions of Swype before installing the new one? Go to manage applications, clear data and cache, then uninstall Swype installer. Then do the exact same for Swype itself. Then reboot phone.
Then download Swype installer, and download Swype. Should be good then

Success! That did the trick. I had to reset a couple of times, but it's working now.
I had the same problems with my friend's Droid (trying to get it updated on hers), but a simple uninstall/reinstall worked. Forgot to even try resetting.

I got that too. i went to their forums and found this
ERROR: Swype is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality
This error indicates that there is a problem with the Swype registration files on your device. First, make sure you've followed the Basic Troubleshooting Steps. Then, try the following:
* If you've recently upgraded your system software you will need to reinstall Swype. You can request a new email containing the Swype Beta download link by logging into http://beta.swype.com and clicking the "Resend Activation Email" link in the lower right.
* If your first installation attempt fails, you can use the installers built-in repair functionality to get up and running. Simply run the Swype Installer a second time and it will guide you through the steps of repairing your license.
* If none of the above solutions work for you, please make a post in the existing "Swype is configured for another device" thread.

When I went back to the installer it said my license was invalid. I followed the instructions I bolded and it fixed itself.
I wonder if this thing is ever going to come out of beta.

[SWYPE][INFO]Swype v3 beta

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.
