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.

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!

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.

Beautiful work on this version

Yeah I'm enjoying it write a bit haha, it messed that word up.

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 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 !!!!

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..

Make sure the User Agent of your browser is Android instead of Desktop.

Why so many apps missing?!

OK, so after the Gingerbread update a TON of stuff I purchased in the market is no longer available.
Tweetcaster pro, FIFA, Abduction world attack, Paypal (official), The Sims..... What gives? I've never stolen software for Android, and I don't want to. I want my apps back! Ideas?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Use this apk to fix your market. Reboot. Should solve your problems.
Didn't work. :L Man, this is SUPER annoying.
You sure you did it right? I had the same exact problem with my apps...a lot of people have. That's the fix. Before I applied it, my Slingplayer wasn't showing up in the market...30 freaking dollar app..now it is.
I downloaded the .apk, installed, then rebooted. Nothing. Are you on Gingerbread?
Could someone running GB tell me if they can find tweetcaster pro or FIFA in the market?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
You need to run the app though lol. After you install, open your app drawer and run Market Fixer. Click Fix, THEN reboot. Yes, I'm on Gingerbread.

I don't believe it. I fell for the same thing. I just thought you installed it and it was suppose to fix. which it didn't. Been tryin to figure this out for two days. LOL. What an idiot me. Well at least I wasn't alone. hehehe

I was able to fix this, as I seemed to get a version update on my Market stealth (as it had the AdMob setting added to my Settings screen, where 2 days ago, it wasn't there). When that happened, all my apps returned.
Right before I found this, I did run the APK from above, but I used QuickReboot to reboot. Coincidence?
Now to get the 55 updates I missed over the past month...
I'm not rooted. That was the issue. I don't want to root either. EA Games took care of me. Now to email handmark.... :L
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
May I ask you why you don't want to root?
I know it's a dumb question, but have you checked the market website? I had a similar issue and was able to find and download the missing apps through the site.

UA String Fix for WiFi Xoom

For those of you following along with the thread in the development forum, I'm not allowed to post in there yet but I've come across something of interest.
I took the resources.arsc file out of the framework-res-uastring.apk posted there and put it in the framework-res.apk that I pulled from my WiFi Xoom, and wouldn't you know, it worked!
I'm testing for stability now, but I can say that it's working for me so far. I've attached my modified framework-res.apk in case anyone wants to test along with me without going through the trouble of mashing files.
Nice, I was wondering if that would work. Just a word of caution though, since this resources.arsc comes from the US 3g Xoom it only has US-English and Spanish support.
Can someone test this and verify it works?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Works. Don't forget to reboot after applyng. I will post back if I notice any side effects but so far no problems.

Does it have any other benefits other than the user agent?

I tried it and caused multiple FC's on me as soon as it rebooted.
I however did the samething you did and pulled my framework-res.apk, added the resources.asrc file to it and then pushed it and all was good. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for that Codespeare. I have posted a version for the Canadian WIFI Xoom ONLY under the Dev section OT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13207039&postcount=125
pulled my framework-res.apk & added the resources.asrc file. works great. thanks Codespear!!!
I did it too, worked. EXCELLENT!
Will try now, thank you so much, I love you really I do.
EDIT: works... but at what cost? I have noticed the keyboard has been acting up, sort of how like the Gingerbread keyboard screws up from time to time, I don't think it's it me, but sometimes when I type something like backck it does that! Back back back backck, I have never noticed this before hand.... I am typing this out on my Xoom right now just to let you know. I hope this wasn't the fix. Still the keyboard works okay but that annoying bug that Gingerbread gets is present... pretty weird. Hope for a fix if this is really the UA string fix. Thanks anyways, it works great!

You can now load up a website in full desktop mode by default. If you don't have this all websites will load into their mobile versions, because it detects it is Android and makes it suitable for the screen. Since Android works on tablet PCs now, this should be an interchangable option, however I don't think Google thought of this when they were making the browser.

Because it changes back by default on the Android web browser. Also this is for the wifi only Xoom, there is another version specifically for the 3g Xoom.

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.

Hulu Plus is Working

Today's update must have added support. It didn't work previously on my N8000 so I'm guessing it didn't work on any Note. Apologies if this isn't news.

That is pretty odd, but not being rooted, you shouldn't have any issues with the unmodded hulu app in the first place. It is still weird that it doesn't want to install though, have you tried restarting your device?

The stock Hulu app plays ads just fine, but it won't play the actual video. I've tried everything I could think of, including re-starting numerous times.
