[Q] Swype not working on Samsung Galaxy 3 - General Questions and Answers

I got my Galaxy 3 updated to froyo (2.2) but the swype package in it says it is configured for some other device and will not work properly, I even took my phone to the service center but they said that swype will release an update and then the swype would work. I also tried to download the swype beta but the installer says to remove the swype by the company. Can anyone help.

You have to uninstall the previous swype installer and swype itself. Then download the new one, beta 3 from the website. I got the new one to work and works wonderful.

GB Update and Swype

I've seen a lot of threads and such about how the LG Camera was dropped in the GB update, but I'm also curious about what version of Swype is installed. I currently still have version 2.26.68.18981 of Swype that came with my phone. Does the GB update have an updated version of Swype installed?
it has the same version of swype unfortunately
also if anyone had the beta installed, it'll override that so watch out
2.29.71.xxxx
Really wish I could update without root.

Yep. It has the same one that came with the phone.
Just sign up for the beta and always have the latest version.

It says specifically on the beta page NOT to install the beta if your phone came with Swype installed already.
Guess we'll have to wait for an official release of 3.0?
well once we can get root you can remove the old swype and install the beta no problems

No Swype in Vishwanathptl's CM 7.1.0

I recently updated my G-Fit to vish's CM 7.1.0 and I found a disadvantage of the mod's not having preinstalled swype keyboard. I've tried the Go-Keyboard but its swyping is not that impressive. I've also tried installing various versions of Swype but it does not happen to work and shows the following error "The Swype package you installed does not match the screen size of the device. Please contact Swype about this issue. Screen size 240*320".
I was on FW XWKQ2 2.3 before updating and used swype a lot so, Is there any way by which I can install swype on my Fit.
Thnx in advance.
PS:- you can download swype from its official site by registering for a beta it is as good as the original one to which you were used to!
A 20mb download they send the link on your email so dont worry
Thnx a lot....will try it out

Hey there's another problem which I found on this mod. This morning when I tried dialling a USSD code, it showed USSD code running but did not show any result, well I need to know that does this happen with other users and if yes what is the solution to this. By the way my service provider is Vodafone

Swype Beta for Stock Skyrocket

Hello,
How can I get SwypeBeta (better + Dragon) in Stock Skyrocket? I followed the page steps and then I get: "Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" message.
https://beta.swype.com/android/get/:confused:
I don't believe there's a way for you to do that. If you were to root, you could uninstall it with titanium backup, restart your phone and then install it using the swype installer.

There is a really easy way to install the swype beta.
1) Use Titanium backup to uninstall swype
2) REBOOT
3) install "swype installer"
4) install swype beta
Voila
Our you could try jb's Swype themes so you can have an ics themed keyboard. There are others to choose from as well.

I personally used an app called NoBloat it has a picture of a android wielding like a ak but it pretty much allows you to uninstall an app completely (SWYPE) but it backs it up just incase you removed something you werent suppose too. I used it removed swype (deleted the backup) and installed beta.

Of course he can. If he's stock rooted, he can remove swype with Titanium.
I do it that way every time I flash a new Rom

Hi,
I'm currently an Atrix 4G user and expecting my new shiny Skyrocket to arrive soon. I had swype preinstalled on it and managed to find a way to remove the preinstalled swype using another method. I found it on the swype forum, and this is what I did. Keep in mind, you have to be rooted in order to do this. Also, make sure that in your settings, you've disabled/turned-off swype as a keyboard input and make sure it's NOT the one selected (make sure to select another input), otherwise after reboot you may get stuck.
Using Root explorer or adb shell as root:
1) remove /system/app/Swype.apk OR rename to /system/app/Swype.apk.bak
2) remove /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so OR rename to /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so.bak
3) Reboot device
4) Install swype installer and the rest should work!
Can anyone confirm if this will work on the Skyrocket?

So, I'm a proud owner of a Stock rooted Samsung Skyrocket 2.3.6. I followed my own instructions, and was able to download swype installer and install swype. I then went into settings->languages and checked the swype entry, but when I click on settings it FCs.
I tried resetting - nuthin. Any thoughts?
I have the /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so files backed up.....
So, I found this and going to give it a shot:

UPDATE: This totally worked! Whoop!

The new Swype Beta (June 2012) allows it to be installed alongside preinstalled versions of Swype. If you've followed the steps in the post above, then first remember to uninstall your old version of swype completely, then reboot your system, and then undo the steps listed in the post. You should have a fully functional preinstalled version of swype with the swype beta installed alongside it.

1.85 and swype

Just curious if anyone has had a problem installing swype? I got the installer downloaded and after logging in and selecting the swype English keyboard u get an error saying unable to parse package.
I have tried downloading and reinstalling the package again but same error.
Anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried to download it on a PC and then transfer to the device ?
FWIW, I was able to restore my Swype installation from 1.72 with Titanium Backup Pro with out issue. I'm not sure if it would be "safe" to post my backup for others to install though (may have Swype account information in it, not sure).

Is the build in trace function junk? HTC keyboard has the ability to swipe.

I'm having the same issue...the Swype Beta website says to remove any associated apk's and try again in a few hours.
I downloaded a version from the net (attached below); it installed fine (the official installer recognized and approved it, too) but it was scaled down by about 2/3. Still functional, but too small to really use. I'm going to keep looking for it while I wait to retry through the official installer.

The HTC trace function works okay, but not nearly as intuitive and smooth as Swype. The biggest feature I miss is Swype's ability to correct words anywhere in the text body, not just at the time of typing a word.
So I wandered over to the gs3 forum and found the 720p swype extracted from a gs3. Here's the apk.
no need to thank me, thank the gs3 guys
I believe 1.82/1.85 rooting breaks the swype installer somehow... i had it back when I was stock. I still think they need to adjust this keyboard to have taller keys since the screen has so much room but this will do.
Thanks, Idealz...that worked well for me. Nice to have Swype back, the HTC version just doesn't stack up.
I am also not able to make the fmradio app show up in the app drawer, worked fine on 1.73. Any ideas?
Try flashing Clean ROM SE 2.6. It shows up for me.

Sorry guys, had to remove the links to the Swype apks. Apks for Swype aren;t allowed to be posted on the forums. You have to get it through signing up with Swype.
I suggest you try the "Trace" feature built into the HTC keyboard, I find it works just as good, if not better than Swype. I use it all the time.
The issue isn't with any on the ROMs. The problem is with Swype itself. I'm still on 1.73 and I get the same error. I saw someone posted that the file is missing on the Swype server (based on review of his logcat file). It sucks that Swype isn't rushing to fix this. The HTC version nor SlideIt can compare to Swype.

scotsman, I understand the reasoning behind this, and well, those are the rules.
But I want to point out that it is currently impossible to download for a lot of people, and Swype itself seems more interested in working on a new version than on solving this issue. I.e., I want to get it from Swype, but it is simply impossible.
*edit*
try touchpal, free in Google Play.
Is it just me cos I don't see any apk here.
I just downloaded the Swype installer from Swype.com
