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.

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.

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?

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.

You can always switch input methods when you want to use voice, and use the swype version we already have

Bump for Droid x version. Thanks for the other tho wanted to get that for a friend
The Droid X version would be great... but I it can be even forced to work on the EVO, since I'm sure the resolutions are different.

The droid x multi touch keyboard was ported to evo already so I'm sure swype can be
Bump, I'd like this as well
+5 I to would really like to have the SWYPE version from the droid x with the mic button!! The funny part is that the droid x has already been dumped and what not so how hard is it to to get it to work an put into an .apk file?? I wish I knew how or I'd do it lol... but it's already been done with there muti-touch kb and other ports have come from the new Galaxy S phones of different apps!!
i have a droid x at work, ill see if there is a way to pull swype off it. i already got NFSShift off it, but it doesnt run right on the evo you cant see anything
Ok I have it, I'll upload it when I get home. Some work will have to be done though, I tried installing it and it keeps crashing. Maybe we can just use the microphone button from it.
Sent from my EVO 4G using XDA App
Someone had uploaded it already somewhere, I think maybe over at the androidforum boards... But it wasn't right on the boards, it was on a Moto Droid downloads page. I remember I saved the link to download it later but before I got the chance they had taken it down and listed it as "expired"... I dunno if the phone shipped with a version that expired shortly thereafter or what, I'd imagine it'd have to be replaced w/an updated version anyway.
I'd love to have this, lack of a voice input button is the only flaw I see in Swype (other than landscape typing, but Swype's just meant for vertical one-hand operation imo)... From what I understand they haven't officially implemented it across all devices because pressing the voice command button in certain text fields within the OS would cause an error, but it can't be that hard to adjust this.
They already do some other context-sensitive adjustments (like no spaces on the URL address bar or a browser).
BUMP. i need it too. i will search and if i find it ill gladly post it. btw,anyone have that x dump so i can check it out?
Just wanna say...me too!

That is so messed up... NFS Shift was demoed with the EVO and was supposed to come out on EVO release day, then EA just said nothing else about it.
Maybe Verizon just showed up at the EA doorstep with a bottle of wine and box of chocolates. I want that game.
Grrr....
bump
bump
thanks
ok here is swype for the Droid X, like i said if you try and install right now it doesnt work at all.
Bummer, guess that might be why DroidLife took it down from their download page... Anyone know if the voice command button on the Droid X is present in all text fields or just certain fields? Supposedly that was the holdup for implementing it across the board (hitting voice command in certain fields would cause errors), if they've fixed it for one phone they should've had a beta w/it for the rest of 'em by now! Hrm...
i believe its always there..... i can check tomorrow.
Was anyone ever able to get the Droid X Swype version installed on the EVO?
Maybe once the Epic 4G is release, that version of swype can be ported to the Evo? It is exactly like the Droid X and has the voice button next to the enter key. The resolution on the Epic is the same as the EVO
Nevermind...
Anyone elses Swype trial just expire? Is there a new one out there I can get? I can't live without Swype
if you are part of the beta you should have received a email stating there was a new version.
mine expired too. I am part of the beta though, but would rather not have the default theme that it comes with. Default is always boring, hopefully someone will update their themed version soon!
If you look there are plenty of apk's floating around XDA.
the apk's wouldn't work anymore as they are all expired =(

Lucky me.
I also was/am signed up for the beta. When my skinned Swype stopped working today, I simply uninstalled it, and went to beta.swype.com and *poooff* got my new one, which is 2.4.44.10912.t100 BTW.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
EDIT: do you all think that all our Swypes were mass crippled? I've read that Google has an internal method of taking care of malicious apps that way.
Can developers do the same or similar?
I've been searching all morning for a themed Swype, but all I've come across are upset users whose Swypes stopped working.
hhmm.
My swype waas not legitimate. Mine expired. I applied for beta testing a while ago but to no avail. I'm tiresome of chasing hacked APKs. I'm settling for SlideIT even though I do not like it as much.
they never sent me the beta invite?
@organized fellow, Thanks for the version number
I remember hearing that all the swype versions have the kill clock built inside, which will eventually go off. I know 1.56 was a really popular download, so hopefully it was something in the source APK. Google, I don't think has any kind of ability to shut down pirated software yet, but it is on the way, since so many developers complain about their apps being stolen.
Try Ultra Keyboard. Enable tracing, for swype usability.

Maybe you can help me. I've purchased Ultra Keyboard and have 2 questions that I can't get answered.
1) How do you work the translate function
2) When I use it in landscape mode, using OfficeSuite Pro, I can't see what I'm typing. A button marked "execute" appears, but pressing it seems to do nothing.
How can I see what I'm typing? and what does "execute" do?
Thanks

I'm not sure if this belongs in this section, or under Droid X apps... However, I've been noticing for a few weeks now that word prediction got REALLY bad. Has anyone else seen this? I have a stock DroidX running Froyo, with Swype 1.64.40.9380. Any recommendations? Texting time probably doubled since maybe 1/3 of the words I enter I have to select the correct one now.

It's been pretty bad for me.
I've tried probably every setting from Fast Response to Error Tolerance and it still can't get it right.
It does make for some funny situations when people get my texts, lol.
What would you recommend changing and setting them to?
Awrr… I noticed that, too, and it drives me crazy.
Swype was awesome but since 2-3 weeks it makes me mad everytime I use it because it doesn't recognize the correct words
i was having that issue a while ago, switched to ultra keyboard (which has the same swipe to text options) and haven't looked back. ultra keyboard is also way more customizeable
it's so refreshing to NOT have a stupid window popping up every 2 seconds
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

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
Hi all,
New to the Android scene. I have an iPhone3gs and am leaning towards the Inspire over the Atrix. Quick noob question. Can Swype be installed on this device?
Yes but
Unless you are rooted (which at least for now looks semi-difficult), you need to sideload it. I haven't had enough posts yet to post an outside link, but you can Google "install swype inspire" and the first hit should get you started.

It's very easy. Didn't take me all that long either. I used the Mac/Linux method and it was easy breezy.
Thanks for the link. One other question. What are your thoughts on Swype vs the stock keyboard? I've never actually used it myself but have heard lots of hype surrounding it.
Thanks!
Swype is really awesome I think. It's really easy to get used to. In my experience you only have to use one finger and it's pretty forgiving in terms of the letters you hit.

Swype is much faster for me once I got used to it.... except when it's messing up. Sometimes the autocorrect is just so bad that it would be faster to send the message in morse code, but that doesn't happen often.

nope, no root required. I haven't rooted and I just followed the guide and now I've got Swype!
AT&T blocks the ability to download from other sources (sideloading) and so this program is essentially a work around, but doesn't disturb any original settings. So if anything happened to your phone, AT&T wouldn't know unless the employee knew about this stuff.

I believe every time you reset, you just have to change the input mode. It's just a default setting that isn't changeable to my knowledge. It happens to everyone
On my captivate, using Swype, when I pressed in the text area, I got a little button to move the cursor around. I get the same type little button with the default keyboard on my Inspire. With Swype, though, I get just a cursor, and I have to press and hold to magnify, more like an iphone. Is there any way to change that?
