Could not have said that better myself, it looks better to and the long press on the smilies is nice too
It doesn't have a voice-input button on it, does it? If not, that's a deal breaker for me.

I am the Senior QA Engineer at Swype. A voice-input button is a sorely missing feature for us too. We are looking at what it would take for us to integrate a feature like that, but we don't have any time frame for when that might happen yet. If you would like to see that feature developed more quickly, please give us feedback on the Swype Forums.

i received the email and clicked the link from my phone but it doesn't recognize my device as an Android device. is this because i'm not using the Stock Nexus One ROM (e.g., i'm using a custom ROM)? thanks in advance for your answer.
Oh they made typing in landscape easier... Or more so better. I like it, and I never exactly hated it either.
Oh it seems they made typing without swyping easier altogether, I typed this entire post with swype. Good job! Loveee it..

So typing normally is better on Swype than on the original Android keyboard?

Hmmmm, send me a PM. I may not be able to get to it this weekend, but I'll see what we can figure out. I know why that might happen, but I'm a little surprised that you are experiencing that with a custom ROM.

We're working to improve that experience as well, but for obvious reasons, we tend to focus most of our efforts on Swypeability.

I dont know if my opinion will matter, but im typing in landscape with very minimal mistakes, without even having to Swype! Im gonna go off a limb here and say this is definetly better the stock keyboard.
The bad thing is though, it doesn't have auto correction with just normally typing.. (big downer) but the accuracy is so good it can kinda be rarely needed. I believe that still should have been an inclusion.. Though.
Edit: yes it does looked in settings.. Lol

PM sent. thanks for responding.
Oh this is so awesome! Downloaded and installed without a glitch. Will start to try out typing on this.
i'm on CM latest stable, had 0 problems getting email, downloading, installing
Hmmm...
Have registered, got the email, got to the link...tried downloading but it's stuck with no data being transferred.
Anyone else experiencing this?
edit:
it downloads now...no idea why it didn't earlier...this version is much better than the ones released in the forum earlier... my default keyboard now

What the hell is this app? the description online doesn't do it for me.
I'm curious.
did you fix the problem with apps on SD card? Every time i rebooted, all my widgets and shortcuts i added would disappear.

it has been said before that adding apps with widgets on the SD card would make them disappear.
not just with powerstrip but froyo in general. if you're going to be using the widget, take it off your SD card.

you're not limited on space like you are in quickdesk with one homescreen.
it has an all apps, shortcuts, recent apps, and context panel used to share QR codes of the app you have open,
app info (force stop, move to SD card, etc.), uninstall, and go to market page.

Been using Power Strip for a few weeks now and I love it. It now does scrollable widgets. In fact I'm down to 1 home screen and all my icons and widgets are in power strip.
I cant get it to update. I try to update and it keeps saying download unsuccessful.

I think if the originating developer made the functionality clearer on the product homepage and market screen, it will help with sales tremendously. With that being said, I'll purchase tonight when i have a reliable internet connection. =)

The only issue I have is one particular widget I use in QuickDesk doesn't really work well in Power Strip. And that's Settings Profile, I really like being able to make sure I'm in the right profile by the color the widget displays without having to click on anything. Unfortunately this is not possible to see in Power Strip since widgets are only visible after clicking them in the Widget panel.
Other than that this is a very cool multitasking app.

you can change the startup options to display last used widget or something.
This may seem like something small to some but this is a huge feature in this phone that I was not aware of and noticed a lot of people I knew were not aware of.
With our infuse if you are watching a video you can press the power button on the side of the phone and it will lock the screen completely, you can't hit the menu or hit home by accident or anything. I have 3 kids and I couldn't tell you how many times they "accidently' backed out of the video player and either moved apps around or called people or what. So if this helps even 1 other person it was worth it. Enjoy!!!
thanks for the tip!
but dont try this if you watching porno, you cant turn down the volume or go back to home screen quickly. haha

What an awesome find! Thank you. How many times haven't I handed my Infuse over to show a video and something gets pushed in the hand off?!?!
Thanks for the great tip. One thing I found though is this works with the standard video player but not with Real Player.
This also works while video recording btw.

It also works on the camera. I dont understand why though. If you have the camera open, why would you want to lock the screen so it stays there keeping the screen on. Im sure theres a good reason, im just not aware of it
now i wish they would add like double tap the power button would like it at anytime. Like when your playing a game or browsing so you don't "accidently" send yourself home like I do all the time lol. But this is a start
So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button
I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.
I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)
Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.
When your phone is in your pocket, full volume notifications are necessary if you don't want to miss a message. But when you already have your phone out and unlocked, there's no need for them to be loud and annoying, especially if you're already using the app they originate from (e.g. message apps).
Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster lets you set custom notification volume levels for when your phone is asleep and when it's awake.
This is my first app, so I apologize for any issues it may have, but I hope people will find it useful. Either way, it's been nice to have just for myself!
Nice idea, but ram hungry!

Does this effect battery life at all? This is a great idea for an application. I hate when I almost crap my pants from a notification being too loud! I hope this app does well and has many more updates in the future.
