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...

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 ?

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.
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

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.
Swype Beta for Android to release tomorrow
So, on the same day that I FINALLY get an official beta invite for the Swype beta, I read on Twitter that they are going to be releasing the public beta tomorrow. Here is the link:
http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/15/want-swype-yes-you-do-get-it-tomorrow-for-android-phones/
I wonder if it's the same beta that was just released a couple of days back? What does everyone think?
Probably the same but I hope it's better
ya but will this be a timed beta again?

Long press the input field, select input method from the context method, switch to Android Keyboard, then do this again and switch back to Swype.
Not yet. <(

Did you uninstall both the old installer and the program? Then download the new installer and apk? I recall that this process should be followed for the new version to work.
Just installed it, I think Swype is one of the best things on Android. Installed without any problems.
i registered late last night...got my invite about 10 minutes ago.
back up and running with swype. one of my favorite apps (and most useful) on my nexus.
Looks like it's up now. For anyone that doesn't have the beta already, now is the time to get it!
Can someone tell me if double tapping in portrait mode works to bring up the spell check box in this version?

I didnt have the old installer/apk as i just upgraded to a nexus one from a G1. however, I reinstalled it and it works now. Hard to decide whether I like swype or HTC IME better. I guess time will tell. If only HTC IME had multi touch, I'd be so happy!!
Re: Swype Beta for Android to release tomorrow
Double tapping doesn't work for me..i just installed the official beta and it's the same as the one I installed a couple of days back.

djeezes, even when using the keyboard to tap instead of swype it's better than the standard keyboard app. very nice.
is the site down or what?? wtf?
given that they're slashdotted but have opened it up, could use mod clarification on posting links..
epic fail. i think their servers are overloaded so they resetted everything. my account seems to be gone. can't register for a new acct.
Sorry, this is more fail than the Apple iPhone Pre-Order and yet they don't want us posting the APK.. sigh.
I woke up this morning and tried sending a text only to notice my Swype keyboard changed it's dictionary to Spanish. I went into the settings and all of the language options were checked so I unchecked all of them except for English. That didn't work and Swype will still only predict Spanish words. I checked it in the messaging app and browser but got the same results in both. I even rebooted the phone. Has anyone ever heard this before? Does anyone know a fix? I am thinking the only fix will be to delete Swype and reinstall it but I don't even know if I can reinstall it since it came preloaded on the device. Your help is much appreciated.

If you have titanium back up, you can uninstall from there.
Sign up for swype beta on their website for swype download and install.

+1...Thank you, it worked. Now I just need to figure out why the language changed and why I couldn't change it back. Bug maybe?
I had the same things going on!
I went to the Swype site and registered as a beta tester in-which I was given access to the newest release and all the forum replies from other users. I uninstalled the original Swype, rebooted, and installed the new and have not had a problem since!!! Good Luck
Has anyone checked this out yet?
http://allthingsd.com/20120620/swype-gets-first-update-since-selling-to-nuance/
I downloaded it this morning only been using it about an hour but seems more responsive and accurate, also the keys seem bigger especially the spacebar great for non Swype typing and the word prediction is great so far I'm really liking it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
It's different, so far pretty decent. The keys are indeed bigger but I can't tell if that's making it easier to Swype or not. Two handed typing is definitely better than it used to be. Dragon dictation is definitely an improvement as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Ive been using it for the last couple of hours and so far Im also impressed. I seem to be making less mistakes and the predictive text works well.
I also have not had any of the old Swype idiosyncratic problems - "our" coming out as "pyotr", "weeks" always being corrected to "Weeks", etc.
Also, the new version lets you edit the dictionary and remove words - which I wanted to do many times in the past when Swype was suggesting words that I would never use (such as Pyotr). So as I spend more time with it, I expect that to come in handy.
So far it seems like a lot of good improvements in usability...
How did you download it?
I'm swype beta user and requested to send me a link to download form swype beta website. It never come. Also swype connect on device which usually alerts me of new version is not pickuping up new version either.

same here. I tried to uninstall swype (with Titanium backup) and reinstall the beta with swype installer. But it didn't want to log me in (error network).
Maybe too many people are downloading the new version

Uninstall Swype from your phone and then use the installer app again. It should download the newest version.

Hmmm...Can you login at http://beta.swype.com? If so, maybe try uninstalling both apps and re-downloading the installer app again. That's what I did, as I hadn't re-installed Swype the last time I flashed and it worked just fine.

Question guys... I installed the new swype Beta on my atrix 2....
I tried touch typing with it, but when I start to type so fast it starts to think I'm trying to swype and starts to mess up my words.
Is there anyway to turn off the swyping so one can only touch type? - I know kinda defeats the purpose of swype but I was just curious!

Sounds like an Atrix problem to me.
I haven't seen that issue on mine, and I type pretty quickly. I know of no way to turn off swyping, seeing as that is the primary purpose of the swype keyboard, aside from switching back to the stock keyboard which sounds like what you want to do anyway.
