Swype Beta

Apparently, the new beta will not work if we've already got it installed.
Shame as some of the add-ons and tweaks sound like a good step forward.
Anyone got any ideas if they'll ever update the versions we've got preinstalled? or is it simply waiting on it to leave beta and end up in the store?

With the SGS1, swype was updated whenever the firmware was updated.

It works, you just have to "force install" it.

I've been using it for over a week now. Works great. Can't sync with Facebook (to get custom words) but other than that I'm typing away.

how do u guys get the new version 3 to install? I download the Installer from Swype.com by login to my account. Then when i run it, it say to disable swype first but i was unable to do that.
Thanks 4 the help!

you could remove swype from /system/app like I did and then install the new version

Yep, you have to force uninstall the stock version, which requires root and something like Titanium Backup.
Or, if you like making things more difficult for yourself, you can go into /system/apps and delete Swype.apk and delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib and then install.

cool thanks!

Yesh I realised after we could force install it, I'm gonna leave it and hope they update with the next firmware. I'm running pretty close to stock at the minute, want to get a feel for the phone in it's naked state to start with.
Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.

sweet, I forgot to backup my stock swype though before I uninstalled, what will happen when the beta expires?

so i installed the new version, reboot the phone and then swype isnt swyping anymore, just regular typing works. Then i tried to reinstall it and it said "Generating license failed".. anyone knows the fix for this?

Happened to me too I removed the beta with titanium and reinstalled

I like the principle of swype but find it frustrating to use due to the dictionary giving bizarre choices and editing being counter intuative. I look forward to trying beta 3 of swype but until Samsung deliver it on a future firmware update I'm not using it any more. However I have just discovered SlideIT and a m trying it out, it works just like swype and my opinion is favorable, it seems more accurate and easier to edit mistakes. It is a free trial and the full version costs money but it looks like a good alternative too those of us that don't root and therefore can't have swype beta 3 yet

I'd been using the beta for oh maybe 9 months and it only ran out once and all I did was log back into the site and generated another license.
I look forward to Samsung rolling out another version in the firmware. The one installed seemed smoother than my old beta, who knows the new beta might be even better.
Since 2.3 editing wrongly spelt words became much more annoying. Though I swear it's slowly learnt how I type.

So it's not possible without root ?

[Solve] Everybody have problem with google play?

Not working cause play stroe will automatic update to 3.7.13 and the problem coming again.

With the Rom Slim Ics, there is a fix to avoid the playStore update.
The play store does not like the modifcation of DPI, it is maybe the problem

Not exactly same here
I manually downloaded google play store 3.7.13 from apktop and installed it to my Sgs running GamerzRom Ninja v11 JW5 and to my tf300t tablet running stock us.30 firmware.
At sgs there was no problem and i can download everything but on Tf300t couldn't download anything.
Installed the previous google play store which for me was 3.5.19 and no downloads. Wiped data/factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache didn't solve the problem at all.
Had to do a fresh install of the latest firmware (us.30) and then installed the 3.7.13 and worked.
Hope they find what is happening to prevent us from future problems.

Same problem here. Tried anything I could think of but the latest google play version won't install/update apps no matter what.
Edit: Apparently google is aware of the problem and working on a fix:
Download issues on Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue, and we're currently working to resolve it.
As a temporary workaround until we fix the problem, you can uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage
applications
Find the ""All"" tab
Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
Tap "Uninstall updates"

I installed the 3.5 version, cleared data and cache and it hasn't updated to 3.7 yet. Can't be sure it won't do it later though.

Yesterday it was updating immediately , now I have the original version all the time (i'm opening Store very often just to check).

I have also the same problem. And I think uninstalling updates doesn't fix it because it will again update automatically.
I also found deleting cache would help, but hasn't worked for me.
Hope, Google will fix it fast (already 10 updates missing )

Did you try recently if it auto update? For me it looks like they (google) freeze autoupdate until they solve problem. I have 3.5.19 version since morning.

Ok sorry, I didn't. I also thought that Android Market (3.3.12) isn't still supported, but it seems like it is (it's updating...).
Thx for your help
Edit: It has now auto-updated to 3.4.7, but still able to update / install

i had the same problem (error 905) but after a few days the problem was gone without doing anything.

No problem appeared for me , the playstore updates automatically and nothing strange happened !

Today, I got an auto-update to 3.7.15. I'm from Germany.
Now I can see a progress bar in the app, including size already downloaded / full size

[Q] browser hijacking

Hey Guys,
Please could someone help me all my android browsers keep getting hijacked and a new tab keeps opening to http://us.mobilestips.com/ltjs/us/Index.html
I have searched the intenet but cant find anything related to this specific site besides this reddit post which doesnt help either http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/2mvygg/random_spam_tabs_opening_up_on_chrome_mobile/
It just randomly started appearing the other day and i hadnt installed any new apps and i had only updated some apps from the play store.
After running dozens of antivirus and anti-malware apps to no avail i decided to carry a factory reset.
this worked untill i restore by apps using my gobackup pro app so i assumed it was to do with a infected app.
so after another format, it lasted a day and this morning i ran some updates for some app which some preloaded with my stock rom and BAM the spam is back.
I am currently running a rooted stock Samsung rom build ANE2 from Thu May 8 2014 on a SM-G900F
has anyone else found this problem and its there a way to get rid of this without loosing all google account or sms'
Cheers Guys

So after 3 days of investigation i can confirm that issue i was having with the spam url (http://us.mobilestips.com/ltjs/us/Index.html ) i was having was in fact coming from the latest version of Go Launcher EX.
I am in the process of emailing the devs to inform them of the issue.

Hi
Same problem here in Europe (er.mobilestips.com).
Thank you for your investigations.
So same cure: using another launcher solves the problem while waiting for it to be fixed.

Same Problem on Nexus 5 Andriod 5.0. us.mobilestips.com hijacker
I didn't do any debugging to indicate that this was from Go Launcher Ex but FYI, I'm having the same problem on:
Nexus 5
Android 5.0 Build LRX21O
Go Launcher EX 5.0.9

Delete GoLauncher and see if that fixes the problem.

For me, merely switching to another launcher without even removing GoLauncher did solve the problem (as far as I know).

citymapper crashing up on startup

hi guys,
I'm in real trouble here. I live in london and I use this citymapper on a daily basis more than I use whatsapp lol... now I'm at a loss because it closes on start up. I did update it to the latest version and that's when it started.
my solution is possibly having someone with a note 4 and 4.4.4 make a backup with titatnium and uplaoding it for me, so I can install the latest version from google play then wipe and restore data from your working update. would that be a solution? I've done something similar with whatsapp+ which is how I thought of it.
I've been in contact with citymapper but to be completely honest they are just like, is your phone rooted, what version etc etc. I asked them to do the above but no reply yet... and I doubt I'll get one...
is someone able to help me out or possible tell me how to resolve my problem?
here is the app I'm talking about
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citymapper.app.release
on a side note I'm really trying not to re-install or wipe everything, it's a real task to bring my phone back to my liking's.
thanks in advance

Hi mate,
I had the same issue with version 4.6. Simply uninstall the latest version of the app and install earlier version. This is what I did. Use Aptoide and look for Citymapper 4.5
Let us know if this works for you!

Android 7 (B577) on AL10 - Update via hiapp

Upgraded to 7 using the hiapp and it seems ok. (I quite like the interface)
I have 2 issues, one new and one continuing
Launcher - I used the Google launcher in android 6 it worked fine (I didn't like not having an app draw)
Now I've upgraded I've noticed that the phone doesn't like the Google launcher. I'll set it to the default launcher and it will work fine for a bit then for what seems like no reason EMUI is back!
Is this just me ?
Bluetooth - is still dreadfully twitchy
Smart unlock on my LG urbane watch works sometimes
My girlfriend thinks I now shout 'fuc#### phone' instead of saying goodbye when I'm using handsfree in the car.
Phone still seems fast, using gboard as keyboard after I found the standard keyboard would stutter now and Again
Still think it's a great phone
M

To use Launcher drawer, change SETTINGS-->HOME SCREEN STYLE to drawer and you can use the Launcher with drawer.
BT is still f*&^% cant help with that

Thank You - step in the right direction

I did not try the one you posted, but u mean go into TWRP, factory defaults lets say and then flash the rom? Does this work? Because most 7.0 based roms produce errors due to twrp not being official. Cause im having problems with kangvip and play store. On some apps it works OK but in others it says that i need to authenticate my account. LOL This is a known bug for devices without play store by default but I never found the solution. I tried all the delete data/cache uninstall updates etc but nothing works.

I don't know what would be the effect to return from KangVip to "normal" B577 just the way you suggest.
I did it but I returned to the eRecovery version first. Strange thing is that my version still shows B575.
I have the same problem with Google Play but only when I try to install a new app. All apps that I ever installed with my account, also bought apps, can be installed without problem and also updated. If I install a new app with another phone and clear Google Play Store cache and data, I can install also on my Mate 8.
I also Googled hours to find a solution but it is all about clear data/cache, install latest version etc. but no cure.
With a totally new Google account, no problem to install whatever I want.
