Swype Official download. YES OFFICIAL!

I created this thread in desire HD section as i own one but thought everyone shold know
All Android users looking for Swype but cannot get it, your in luck. head over to http://beta.swype.com
i happened to be looking at the site and noticed that they have started registering again for beta users. I registered and got Swype beta free. PS its a December 2010 build
SO hurry up before they stop registering.
Register for swype. activate the link in your email and then download to your device. login with your username and password and USE
and its official! Too be honest i looked everywhere maybe finding a working cracked version as i cant use the HTC keyboard because i'm addicted to Swype but no need for a warez Swype. Just register for the Beta.
Beta version works perfectly too. tried and tested last night.
No cracks, no trials, simply an official method of getting swype. Feel free to thank me if this helps!

Make sure if you have a previous build of swype you uninstall

Warning,
Doesn't have all the languages that the old unofficially got Swype 1.6 beta..
misses like half or more for example finnish language.

I got this yesterday its badass

This is legit!
Finally a FULLY working Swype on my Droid 1. I only did the English/Spanish choice.
Thanks man.

Cool. Im not sure what languages it has yet but will have a look later. Just payroll the full version if you are looking for other languages

Hi guys. Been registered, but I'm getting 'error while parsing package' EVERY FREAKING TIME and I've tried a good few times. Could somebody share the .apk, either full or lite, via pm. I can send you a screenshot proving I'm in the Beta. Cheers

Hmmm illl see if I can send

Thanks a bunch. I've got this on my Desire Z and didn't like it when I used it on my Xperia X10... but it's fantastic! I was just too lazy to go through the tutorial the first time around lol
It seems a lot more intuitive and much improved. I'll show my wife tonight because I signed her up too. This is awesome when I'm too lazy to pull out the keyboard. And it's actually kind of fun. I've been spamming all my friends with random texts

I wanted the DHD but it's bands don't work with my wireless provider. The DZ didn't disappoint though. WOW. Sense is amazing. Using the Virtuous ROM and it's blazing fast.
Can't believe I paid full price for the Xperia X10 and suffered for months with it!

will this work with a resistive non multi touch screen?
only reason i ask is i have swype on my hd2 (capacative, multi touch)
My tablet is wvga running android 2.1 - i would like to be using swype on that too

With Swype yeah. say for example you want to add the word ikhzter into the dictionary, because my name isnt in the dictionary.
Type it in once, I K H Z T E R, and it will automatically add it to the dictionary, next time round just slide the word not tap and it will automatically put it in as it saved it last time.
swype is much clever, instead of clicking add it auto adds, to delete just highlight a word and press swype key to delete neat i know

It still beta though , it will expire by the end of the month
I've been using SWYPE beta in my Motorola OG MileStone 2.1 for about 3 month now , Im reinstalling a new beta from SWYPE website every month now

I got the inspire 4g early

I got the Inspire 4G. It really is a nice device. It truly is a re-badged Desire HD. HTC has forgotten to change some of the BT menus so they even still say Desire HD.
The software set is fairly decent and unrestrictive. There is a fair amount of AT&T Bloatware that can't just be uninstalled (normal).
I have been up all morning trying to find a version of SWYPE that hasn't expired that has a matching screen resolution for the phone. Even being part of the beta you can sideload the swype app but then the app itself wants to install a separate language pack which the phone blocks.
Feel free to PM suggestions or post questions.

how did you get it early

pics or it never haappened ;D sweet. So who was it that thought they had a rroot procedure?

I got it early via an HTC Release party for the phone. I work for AT&T.
BTW--I FOUND A FUNCTIONAL SWYPE PACKAGE. SWYPE IS WORKING!

So how did you get Swype working? I'm sure people will be wondering how to do it when the phone launches.

Not only that, but which version of it are you using, if you don't mind me asking. Swype is the first thing I want on this come Sunday.

Yes, please post clear instructions on how to get Swype up and running on a brand new Inspire.
Thanks

I too work for AT&T and I got the inspire today. The device is snappy and actually benchmarks approximately a 1600 in Quadrant. You are correct about the rebadging as even the XDA app default Sig said Desire HD.

This is an easy fix fortunately with the Telus radio. Stupid on their part though. At least its fixable by us on the Inspire, unlike the atrix.

HEEEECCKK yes, hsupa FTW Man reading these posts has me stoked, I think I am more excited about this phone than when I got my iPhone.

Early reports have suggested that the RUU downgrade (in order to root) is causing sound to fail on the Telus Desire HD. So tread cautiously with your Inspires. Maybe they changed the audio hardware and the older firmwares don't have a driver for it?

That's not good.

No sir I don't like it.. I hope we can get this fixed.

One person who got the sound bug just got his DHD replaced and won't try again until it is safe. Another user who got it too - has said he will try reflashing the Telus RUU when he gets home in a few hours. If that succeeds then at least we know there's a safety net.

The sound bug is fixed already. i'm running a euro rom on mine with working sound. Everything will be available shortly.
Btw flashing the att ruu fixed any issues i had with sound so there is a safety net.

Gonna get the phone on monday, i'm sure a lot will be accomplished by sunday evening.

Swype - Any devs want to try to fix this?

I posted on Swype forums a while back about the issue with Swype on this phone. They replied saying the auto space (which im guessing auto capitalization falls in the same catagory) does not work because HTC has made sense reply window treat the data entered by the user as a web address link - because noone wants spaces in their links. I have found that most people say cracking HTC's Sense code is almost impossible but i was wondering if someone could come up with a fix for this.

Whats the problem? Swype seems to work fine for me...

Use the flex T9 that popped up. It's basically swipe made for sense.

If you use Handcent or ChompSMS it works. But yeah, definitely fails on the stock Sense message app.

Using the evo updated version of swype resolves all issues seen in the thunderbolt beta.

Using the evo version here. It just doesn't have the voice icon on the keyboard.

Where do I get the updated EVO swipe? The problem with the one for thunderbolt is it doesnt autospace as stated in the original post...

Its against forum rules to post swype apks your best luck is to google it.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

i'm using it now on the thunderbolt and it's autospacing

I've installed and uninstalled this a half dozen times because of similar issues.
Something else I've noticed sporadically is that even when I do get it working properly using Handcent SOMETIMES I have to still manually type. Meaning it makes a trace mark, but the letters never pop up.
Now going to look for the EVO swype.

go to the beta page, log in, reset phone, download new swype installer, now you have spacing atleast i did lol.

Yep, EVO swype was the best one that I've found. The only thing I can't get it to do is put the auto punctuation in after you double space. Other than that it works great.
EDIT: What I can't figure out is if the EVO version is nearly perfect...why doesn't Swype just take it and revise it a little? Or, I guess maybe they tried and messed it up even worse?

OP: PM me your email address.

The "EVO" version is a very very very old build

Swype UPDATE
Those issues mentioned in this thread have been fixed for the most part in the March update. SWYPE BETA v2.10.52.13753
Uninstall completely and reinstall this new package through the SWYPE site.
Shouldnt be too long for a full version Swype for Thunderbolt.

Changing keyboard on inspire

Okay I've searched through the forums kind of half assed but I don't feel like wasting time anyway
I'm displeased with HTC's touch input keyboard and back when I had my captivate I bought smart keyboard pro because I could pretty much choose how big the space bar was cause I have a tendency to hit the period button constantly when I'm typing fast and it annoys the crap out of me I have it installed on my HTC but it won't let me use it or switch keyboards is there some trick I don't know to using a different keyboard? Or is it even possible?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Did you go to keyboard settings and put a check in the box to turn it on?
After that, long press on any text box and choose input method.

Lol. But it's ok for everyone to waste their time answering your question.
Not a great intro for requesting the time of others who HAVE chosen to waste their time learning about their phones.

Menu>settings>language&keyboard settings
you should be able to figure it out from there. If you don't see your downloaded/installed keyboard, uninstall and reinstall, rinse, repeat..

I have a tendency to do the same thing with the stock keyboard, hitting the period instead of the space bar. It is because the keyboard is not centered due to the arrow buttons and stock buttons on the right. I have found that sliding my fingers more under the phone with the left hand versus the right hand helps. I've also tried searching for an alternative keyboard, but found nothing I was pleased with. I do like the stock keyboard, with the exception of those arrow buttons on the right, even though I do find them handy at times.

Well what I have found is that the settings > language > keyboard settings doesn't stick
You have to long press in the text input area and select input method and choose your keyboard. Well at least for me on the Unity rom it sticks that way. YMMV on stock or other roms

Well at least something positive happened as a result.
Meanwhile, the spoon-feeding continues. For an Android 101 question.
I mean, it's one thing to not want to figure out something, but to preface a question admitting it?
Point? Tone matters.

I like Better Keyboard for the bigger, no wasted space keys and customizable key height, but miss the arrows...especially when in Terminal Emulator, where they do come in handy given my horrible typing skills. So I keep the stock keyboard only for those types of activities,

There are ways and then there are ways to approach a newbie question.... I know, because after more than 10 years as a Windows Mobile user I just switched to my first Android a couple of months ago and browsed here looking for an answer to this very same question. If you have an Inspire (like I do) and, quite surely, got it from AT&T (like I also do), then you'll face the same problem like the guy who started this thread (changing your default keyboard is just NOT an option, aka hidden by the AT&T "geniuses" by default....). But I tried this option quoted above and worked for me. (Thanks, sparker!!) At least till I reboot my phone, I guess....
Again, there's always more than one way to approach a question, regardless how naive it may sound!!

Fi you have a problem in landscape with it taking up too much of the screen, remember the key height is adjustable which makes more room for the entry fields...it took me a little bit to figure that out...

Found swiftkey x on 4shared

DL'd it. don't know... didn't really see anything that impressed me all that much.
maybe I'm missing something. guess I have to play with it a bit more.
so far, still prefer swype.
but, it's free and I guess it's good to have the extra option for whatever reason.
can't go wrong with too many keyboard apps right?

Swype all day for me personally, especially since Swype 3 came out with qHD support

SwiftKey is genius. Easily the best keyboard available.

i like it, swype wasnt bad but i never got it on my sensation and i feel like i spent as much time swyping as deleting words. swift predicts very well, only problem i have is i hit the return buttton i think on occasion and make the keyboard go away

I already purchased, but my wife just got it for her g2x thanks...

Installed it just fine, and set it as the default, but I'm still getting the HTC keyboard.
