Swype Now Officially Available To ALL (BETA) BETTER ACT FAST!!

Head over to Swype's site, register for the beta, and you should quickly receive an email (that you should open on your Android device) sending you to the beta download site. Once Swype is installed, you'll be led through setting it up and enabling it on your phone—if that doesn't work, press and hold on any input field, select "Input method," then choose Swype.Better act fast it might close soon !!!!

Hmm, it installs and opens, says the data network experienced a problem then does nothing. I guess their server is swamped?
This thing is such a pain in the butt, it better amaze me.

let me check in to that
hold on

Actually, it was my fault, I guess. I have Droidwall installed to block a few apps from connecting to the net. I opened it to find the swype installer was blocked. I don't know how because, you have to open droidwall, select the app and apply the rule to block it. I haven't opened droidwall in weeks, so I have no idea how it got blocked. Anyway, i have swype working. Am prepared to be wowed..

Facebook Crash

Hi there
I am using CM7 ... I recently found that facebook crashes when I press "Friends" or "Messages" ...
Please help

I too found this so I use Facebook flow found in the market only thing you can't do is chat hope this helps
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

i found this problem also while using "place" and "groups"

I really can't stand the Facebook app. Every single time they change anything something else in the app is being f*cked up. Are you sure it's just because of the ROM you're using?

It's fixed in the FB update, that came out this morning.

The problem is determined as the fault by Facebook app. Everything returns fine after updating the app today.

Yes, a server issue. They stated it will be back on line in a few hours.

Anyone have any luck? I tried to dl it, but it said I don't have an Android device. So I loaded it to my Droid & dropped it into my dropbox. Now I have the Swype loder installed on my Xoom, but it's telling me there's a network problem and it won't find the mama ship.

I was able to download using my xoom just now, no problem.

How did you get it to work? When I try it just says your device is not an Android phone, is there a trick?

Not sure, I already had the installer on my xoom. I just ran the installer, updated installer, and then downloaded swype. I am pretty sure that they only allow it to be installed on 2 devices too.

Just downloaded the installer and then installed it, its not bad. Not as nice looking as the stock keyboard but a decent alternative, used it to type this post!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

If anyone is having issues where installer says disable swype and you do, but its not seeing it....use root explorer and just delete swype apk and it will all work.

One nice feature is that you can make keyboard smaller and then move the keyboard to wherever you want, allowing it to be used with one thumb. I like it and have been waiting for this since I got my zoom.

Didnt download for me at first. Then I changed the ua string to froyo. Worked then.

awesome.
Using it for this text.
Beautiful work on this version

Yeah I'm enjoying it write a bit haha, it messed that word up.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

That allowed me to download the installer, but as soon as I try to login in the installer app, it says there was a data error, likely due to a bad network connection. I know I have a good wifi connection. Anyone else getting this? I have a non-activated vzw model

I got it, pretty good. I like how you can resize it and move it around, reminds me of the Windows 7 onscreen keyboard.

Swype doesn't work due to screen size not supported after 3.2

After the 3.2 update, Swype has stopped working. It no longer will install and you will get a ERROR when you try to use the installer. From the Swype beta bug forums, they are aware of this issue but they don't just want to support the screen resolution. Do you guys experience this as well?

Not going to answer your question directly, but FYI... the Flex T9 keyboard https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input&feature=search_result is working well on 3.2.
This is the swype alternative that also includes speech to text.It is a bit pricy, but has been very solid.
Interestingly enough though, even though it is installed, it is not showing in the market or under my apps.

Im using swype as I type this. Works fine for me.

umm.... how?! Are you on 3.2?

Correct, swype does not function correctly on 3.2, however they know that this issue exists and are working on a fix.

Actually that is wrong swype may pop an error up from time to time but hit ok and it works fine.

Or, is there a way to work out by modifying the configuration of swype? Has anyone done yet?

Swype won't even install on my hammerhead 3.2 rom. It keeps saying Connection error - check your Wifi connection. I'm fully connected though, so it's really weird. Has anyone else been getting this error by any chance?

Just so everyone knows, the new Swype 3.25 works with my stock 3.2 Xoom.

This is because tiamat uses a modified framework. You need to find a stock one and flash it.

Muchas appreciados.

My Market App disappeared, strange....It was there, icon is there, but app is gone.

It is weird. I had the app and used it and now the icon is there, but it wouldn't work. Then when I looked in the app area it isn't there. I have Kings speed Rom I think. I'll have to check to make sure. It has sense 3.0. Has anyone had their market vanish. I see post where people are asking how to install it, but I've always had it for like 2 weeks.

Reflash the rom without wiping data - just wipe cache and dalvik. You of course have to know what rom you're running to be able to reflash it.

You can pull the market apk from the rom via 7zip or winzip or whatever, and push it to your /system/app/ folder

Or just do a quick Google search for android market and reinstall like you would an app. I accidentally deleted my market once and did that, worked just fine

ok, download app seems ideal
I signed onto android market on my pc and tried to download it and it kept saying the app is not compatible. I just realized it is an app for an android tablet. I need to figure out where to find the regular android market for a phone. I did a search on market.android.com and it keeps finding the tablet version.
