dont know if this been posted but Anyone that took part in the Swype open beta back in April can now use the updated version of swype
http://www.androidcentral.com/swype-beta-receives-update
im sure someone going to leak it.
Just downloaded it. I love this keyboard!
Cool can't wait for someone to leak it. Can't wait until i can pay for it in the market actually but the a leak is enough too hold me over.
It really needs directional arrows. The EVO doesn't have a trackball for precise navigating through text fields, or the iPhones magnifying glass.
swype from the bottom left key one key to the right for arrows

That link doesn't work I get an error on my phone saying can't parse file. I went into astro and deleted all the types I saw. I installed the program too. Any ideas or another working link?

try downloading it again, you may have gotten a bad copy
It's zipped.. download to pc, unzip and then push over to sd card.
Thanks that worked. Yes. I was dying without Swype.
BTW is there an app for typing via morse code. I used to have it on my iPhone. I know its off topic but I figured I'd ask real quick.

hmm I got that too a few weeks ago so I had to go back to my backup, strange that it works on my Nexus and not yours.
I currently use slideit which is good but its no swype, have swype on my g1 for quick responses so I know the diferences between the two I'll just deal with slideit until I can get swype, thank you though!

Force close it in settings>applications after you get the message saying it wont work for your phone. Then when you go back to type it wont beep at you.
Have any of these swypie slidey inputs gotten Voice icon and/or standard landscape yet ?

still doesnt work for me
i even closed it with a taskkiller.... is it missing the dictionary or something? idk. how did you other incredible owners make it work?
1. Uninstall Swype.
2. Use this thread, find the one you want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671070
3. Copy to SD card, install with Astro.
Dropping into my apps folder with Droid Explorer, causes Force Closes on my G1 and N1. Installing with Astro File manager, or anything else thats a legit file installer, seems to work fine.
AstroZip / AndroZip / both worked for me.
I did this yesterday, right after the versions of swype on both devices I use, expired.
Best of Luck.
So my "trial" period is over. I've tried deleting and installing different apk's and it still says I need to upgrade. Does this mean I can't ever use swype again? Really liked it.
Same thing happened to me. I need this!
how do we go about buying it?
Can't post links but check out the thread in this section "SKN] - Droid Does Swype". Works for me. My old one expired today, but that one works.
the one u posted above, doesn't work for me, says trial has expired as well
worked for me when i installed it yesterday, and still working on my phone now. i use shapewriter but i just switched to swype after seeing this thread, and mine works.
Check it the N1 forums, the newest beta is posted there and works fine on my incredible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644536 here is the link... I just had to uninstall the old... reinstall the new then restart my phone... it forced closed the first time I opened it but works fine now that I did a reboot...
Worked great, thanks! Haven't even had to reboot yet.
So I've uninstalled the old swype, and put in the new version. I went to keyboard settings and changed it from android and back to swype, but for some reason when opening up my handcent sms or the stock message app it still uses the default keyboard. I've messed with the menu and can't find an input method option. Just wondering if there is something I'm forgetting to do to get it to work.
Thanks
did you do a long hold on your message

start to write a new text message, and where it says "compose" or something, do a long press. then input method > swype
it took me 5 annoyed minutes to find that on my phone, hope that helps
This is a problem we will continue to have with Swype. They have no intent to sell Swype on the market. Instead they are selling it to OEM's so it can be preloaded on new phones. After it stopped functioning when I switched to the Seidio 1750 battery (It said my hardware ID had changed and to contact Swype support), I switched to Shapewriter and never looked back. I actually like it better than Swype after using it for a bit.
Edit: SlideIt is another alternative to Swype.
Why would they have a beta sign up and then not put it on market, that makes no sense to me.
they will do whatever makes them money, if there are phones that cant get swype they will most likely offer an app pretty much like they are doing now. The expired trial was a previous beta. The new swype is out and works fine, and supposedly will have an official release tomorrow. There is already a thread with the link in the first post.
swype...
I can't get any of those links to work to get swype back if i don't my wife will kill me...loves swype and i need her to have it... LINK PLEASE
Mine expired today as well and then I got an invite to the beta about 20 minutes later...

It appears Shapewriter is leaving the Android Market effective tomorrow:
User Notice: We plan to take ShapeWriter off the Android Market on June 20, 2010 for an indefinite period of time, If you have purchased or downloaded ShapeWriter Keyboard on your Android device, please update it to the latest Version 3.0.9 which will not expire as the previous versions do. We thank you for your interest and support.

Anyway to backup the app so if you format your phone you can get it back again? I know it is protected, but even people that paid for it are out of luck if they have a problem with there phone.

If you're rooted either use Titanium Backup or in Terminal Emulator type:
cp /data/ /sdcard/data
That will backup all your APKs to your SDCARD in a directory called data. I don't know what the APK is called so that is the best way to do it.

Really? Have you watched the Swype video's to get all the shortcuts? IMHO Swype is much faster.
Anyone have the 3.0.9 apk?
I've tried them all and shapewriter was my least favorite. not add accurate add the other2. swipe had long press like shapewriter, and better accuracy. I find SlideIT to be the most accurate, but no long press
ShapeWriter was horrible compared to Swype imo....but to each his own. I tried it when my Swype beta expired the first time.
I personally much prefer swype over shapewriter. Though, it isn't disappearing forever. According to their site, Nuance (company that makes dragon naturally speaking) bought them out, thus why they're pulling the app right now.
I suspect this will lead to vast improvements in the app, so its all good in the long run :]
Yup uploaded and tested it today. Your good to go!

This is the first time I've ever tried to adb pull an update off my phone. I think this is the file you want. If its not, I apologize in advance. It came from /data/apps and I think thats the right place. If not if someone tells me the right place I'll get it up tomorrow.

I've seen other people say that when they have issues with swype, just switch input (long press on a text field and change input to keyboard), then switch back and it should be OK

I stopped using it for this reason. Having to switch text input was irritating me. I just use the stock keyboard, works fine.
I stopped using it because of this issue until I flashed CM7. Figured i would give it another try. It has not stopped working in the 3 days that I have been using CM7, so maybe it had something to do with AR?
Does it come on all the roms? Can't find swype on mine.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have the same issues with Swype on AR 3, and now RCMix HD 4.1... But since there's an easy workaround, I'll keep using it as I like Swyping so much.
It works fine on my stock, un-rooted Inspire. I just simply downloaded the latest Swype apk file, and side loaded it through SWM. Simple, clean and easy. It works flawlessly, and has been for weeks now.
I just started having this problem today actually. I have been using it for a week and a half now. Don't know why it just happened today. I had to reset it twice earlier but fine now.

you have to sign up for the beta here where they send you a download link. At which point in your browser it may tell you that you are not using an android device. If you encounter this change your settings to show as a mobile and then you should be able to download and load it the way they show there
link as follows
http://beta.swype.com/
happy hunting
After reading the terms of service on XDA regarding swype, I removed this post. The post linked to another member who linked the apk file. In the future, anyone considering posting a swype apk file should read this...

Thanks to member phil.W for the heads up!

Screw the beta version. Use the verified Swype. Maybe since it's a beta, that is why folks here are having problems. Just download the apk (non-beta version) and simply sideload the file with 'Sideload Wonder Machine'. Quick and easy.
You can get the real Swype version here in XDA. You could have done the search, or I'll just post the link here because I'm nice!

There, on the last page, member cmeyer3 gives the download link.

How do you know this is the "Real" version and not just the apk someone got from the beta? Cause this (http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/60295-guide-installing-swype-beta-htc-inspire-4g.html - which is referenced in that thread) shows you how to pull the .apk out of the beta, which is what I believe is being shared

not to mention of course that SWYPE does not want its apk being shared as such, and wants all copies to be properly licensed which even XDA is observing and removing links to the downloads when they see them to observe swypes request that they have proper copies and/or have permission to install it in their roms or on their own devices.

Thanks phil.W for the the heads up. I removed my post on that matter upon reading those terms of service from the link you provided. And yes, someone should let the other member, who is linking to the apk file, know about that as well. No reason to step on anyone's foot over at Swype and cause any problems for developers here on XDA.
Thanks again.
