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 ?

still doesnt work for me
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.
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...

Hope I get that lucky.. I just registered today.
i just got accepted to be swype beta tester.
Does anyone have issues with it working? Sometimes it works, then other times it completely stops doing anything. It will popup and ill start swyping but it wont register anything.

I've seen other people say that when they have issues with swype, just switch input (long press on a text field and change input to keyboard), then switch back and it should be OK

I stopped using it for this reason. Having to switch text input was irritating me. I just use the stock keyboard, works fine.
I stopped using it because of this issue until I flashed CM7. Figured i would give it another try. It has not stopped working in the 3 days that I have been using CM7, so maybe it had something to do with AR?
Does it come on all the roms? Can't find swype on mine.

I have the same issues with Swype on AR 3, and now RCMix HD 4.1... But since there's an easy workaround, I'll keep using it as I like Swyping so much.
It works fine on my stock, un-rooted Inspire. I just simply downloaded the latest Swype apk file, and side loaded it through SWM. Simple, clean and easy. It works flawlessly, and has been for weeks now.
I just started having this problem today actually. I have been using it for a week and a half now. Don't know why it just happened today. I had to reset it twice earlier but fine now.

you have to sign up for the beta here where they send you a download link. At which point in your browser it may tell you that you are not using an android device. If you encounter this change your settings to show as a mobile and then you should be able to download and load it the way they show there
link as follows
http://beta.swype.com/
happy hunting
After reading the terms of service on XDA regarding swype, I removed this post. The post linked to another member who linked the apk file. In the future, anyone considering posting a swype apk file should read this...

Thanks to member phil.W for the heads up!
Cheers.

Screw the beta version. Use the verified Swype. Maybe since it's a beta, that is why folks here are having problems. Just download the apk (non-beta version) and simply sideload the file with 'Sideload Wonder Machine'. Quick and easy.
You can get the real Swype version here in XDA. You could have done the search, or I'll just post the link here because I'm nice!

There, on the last page, member cmeyer3 gives the download link.

How do you know this is the "Real" version and not just the apk someone got from the beta? Cause this (http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/60295-guide-installing-swype-beta-htc-inspire-4g.html - which is referenced in that thread) shows you how to pull the .apk out of the beta, which is what I believe is being shared

not to mention of course that SWYPE does not want its apk being shared as such, and wants all copies to be properly licensed which even XDA is observing and removing links to the downloads when they see them to observe swypes request that they have proper copies and/or have permission to install it in their roms or on their own devices.

Thanks phil.W for the the heads up. I removed my post on that matter upon reading those terms of service from the link you provided. And yes, someone should let the other member, who is linking to the apk file, know about that as well. No reason to step on anyone's foot over at Swype and cause any problems for developers here on XDA.
Thanks again.
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.
I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).
