Swype

Mr. Rager · 13-07-2010 1:00pm

I'm trying to use it with HTC hero but it says that it has the wrong screen size. Help?

Anyone know if there's anyway I can get this now? Unfortunately after rooting the Desire they took Shapewriter off the market.

Sign up for the beta, and you used to get a free version valid for 6mths.

I got swype just after the OP was posted had been using it no problems. I updated to Froyo just a few days ago and now it's saying the trial has expired

Installed using the same file as above. My brother has also had his disabled and swyping no longer works (The swype keyboard can still be used, but not in the swype way).

Any solution to get this back?

Try shapewriter instead. I prefer it myself having used both it and Swype.

cormie · 19-09-2010 7:39pm

Thanks for the suggestion

is shapewriter free? I hear it hasn't got extra characters in the default keyboard the way swype does?

If you were in the beta you just uninstall both the installer and the app, browse to the beta.swype.com website from your phone, login and get your invite email sent again and download the files (few mb). install etc.

I did this and it's back working again

What about for those who aren't on the Beta?

S.M.B. · 20-09-2010 9:05pm

Bah, mine has gone too and I wasn't part of the Beta group.

Abelloid · 20-09-2010 9:27pm

Just downloading this now...

...might keep me busy until I find a leaked Swype apk. :pac:

S.M.B. · 20-09-2010 10:21pm

I've got some working version on my Desire now.

Hope they just release the paid version of this soon so I don't have to be worrying about it's future expiration.

Where did you get the working version?

PH4T · 28-09-2010 9:08am

My Nexus One did a system update this morning and now Swype isn't working.

Any ideas?

dragona · 28-09-2010 10:00am

Something funny - when I re-boot my desire, Swype stops working completely, I have to un-install and start again

nedd · 28-09-2010 2:22pm

alright. i want to try a new keyboard. i cant get Swype because the beta is closed and shapewriter is no longer available.

anyone know how i can get either of these?

BopNiblets · 28-09-2010 4:33pm

What device do you have? I thought I didn't have it on my Galaxy but it just wasn't enabled in Input Options (long press on any text box and change it)

Otherwise there's SlideIT which I believe is similar.

Is it true the new Swype has a button for Google Voice commands? Only on 2.2 though yeah?

nedd · 29-09-2010 11:33am

alright. I have a Desire. I found some apk of Swype online but it doesnt work for me, gives some error about screen size.

cormie · 04-10-2010 9:44am

Aghhh, the new one I got has expired now too

hardCopy · 04-10-2010 10:51am

Looks like another Google session when I get home

Saadyst · 04-10-2010 11:29am

I'm in the beta, but honestly I just wish they would release it already - I'm happy to pay a fiver or whatever for it, it's easily my most used app. Getting tired of having to re-develop my dictionary after every reinstall of swype :mad:

Where could I get the latest version of Swype?

Yelnahs · 29-10-2010 4:07pm

Hey guys,

I don't know what the policy is so I won't post direct links. To get the latest working Swype please google "swype 2.4.44.10912 apk"

Enjoy.

Cheers, I'm assuming 2.4 is better than 1.61 right?

Yelnahs · 29-10-2010 5:04pm

It is indeed, you can theme it and everything

Why are you constantly re-installing it?

Mine acts up after a reboot but all I do is switch to the default keyboard and then back to swype and it's fine.

TheMilkyPirate · 27-12-2010 9:55pm

Just went through the hassle of downloading the swype beta went to install it and it tells me my screen size is not supported, wtf?

Wildfire 2.1

EDIT: Just checked there forums swype aint configured to work on the wildfire at the moment, muck.

The beta requires you to clear your data before you update to the next version so you lose the entire user dictionary..
