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

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

Yes, it works.

SlideIt is much faster in my opinion, and there is even an option to add words that the keyboard does not know/

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

[Q] SwiftKey X keyboard

So I saw this post this morning on Engadget and it looks to be pretty awesome for the tablet world. But when i go to the market my TF is not compatible with this app. Nothing states in that post that it wont work, just says tablets running Android 2.X/3.X. Anyone able to download the apk from somewhere else??? I would really like to have this keyboard for typing on my TF!!! Thanks
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/14/swiftkey-x-virtual-keyboard-launches-for-android-tablets-we-go/

I'm guessing SwiftKey forgot to tick the Transformer if they restricted the devices, no other reason as far as I know.
Hope they resolve it soon.

I have it running on mine but I downloaded it from the beta program site. The last version is smooth as butter.

"Update on tablet compatibility: We've worked out why Android Market says Xoom, Tab10.1 is incompatible with SK Tablet X - we're fixing now."
Swiftkey wrote that on twitter a few minutes ago, so hopefully its just a market issue.

Sweet, i hope it's a simple fix!!!!

its up!! just got it on my TF )

Really? I just restarted my Transformer to make sure. I cannot find it in the android market unless I use the browser to go to the Swiftkey site and then link to the market. When I try to install it says "App not found".

yI just got it as well. Had to get it through the markets website.

You mean you bought it on the market website in the browser?

Think I'll stick with Thumb Keyboard.

If you use the market from the website, you choose what device you wish to install it on. The it then automatically gets pushed to the selected device

I couldnt find it through the app store via my TF but i went to android market on the PC and found it. I bought it and i was able to see it in my apps on the TF where i was able to install it.

Also worth noting, and it is on sale for $1.99 for to first 48 hours. I'm typing on it now and it seems better than thumb keyboard. Way more accurate

Yeah, I'm quite tempted to get it but is it a big improvement over Thumbs?

If you have the Swiftkey VIP access you could download the APK of the beta. It expires on July 20th. I went to the VIP site and downloaded the beta and loved it. So I purchased the app on the market.
You could always buy it and get a refund within 15 minutes.

Go it, tried it, and eh.. Prediction is nice but the comfort, customization, and overall size and tweaks and stuff are MUCH better with Tablet Keyboard.

+1 it makes me love the tablet even more.

I still dont see it in the market place???
I use it on my Droid X and it feels great! But I'm using Thumb now on my TF and it's good... but I want to tray Swift to see if it's as good.
Also, does the TF support haptic feedback? Does it have the vibrating motor? I want it to vibrate when I type, it makes it so much easier!
Thanks!

I think the thing to bear in mind is that it brings up a spell check box when using the Transformer keyboard. That makes it unique and indispensable.

Buy it from there and install it onto your TF101 via the website.
And no, it doesn't have haptic feedback. The phone version does, this makes me wonder if its related to Honeycomb or hardware.
I prefer having it off anyways. It uses more battery when its enabled.
For everybody else, if you're going to buy this.. buy it now, it's returning to $4.99 after today.
What's in this version:
Improved compatibility with custom DPIs and larger phones
Fix Quick Period not sticking bug
Learn from SMS only shown on relevant devices
Only show haptic feedback option on relevant devices

Free swift keyboard x

Today on Amazon it's free

I'm not sure if the pulled .apk would be considered warez, but since it is free for now...And not everyone lives in the US

There is a way to get it if you are out of the country first you need Amazon USA because Amazon UK does not work

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.
Sent from my brain

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.
Must be something simple, but not seeing it...

Keyboard lag!!!!

Holy crap I love the smart keyboard on this phone but it has gotten to the point of insane lag! Is there a way to stop this lag? I want to keep using it and am forced to use another keyboard now because of this

Restart phone or get new keyboard.
When my Moto G had keyboard lag I switched to ART so there's always that. Also this belongs in the Q&A section.
I recommend the android L keyboard in the amazon appstore.

Swiftkey does the same exact thing, sometimes takes up to 4-5 seconds for it to pull up.

The stock LG keyboard has been excellent for me. Swiftkey got laggy ever since it went free, it always take a second or two for it to pull up. With the stock keyboard it's instantaneous:good:

I was having issues with different things here and there out of the box. Week later I went back to Dalvik, factory reset, and viola, smooth...

Are you running a stock G3 or rooted / modded?

i have a feeling you have the bilingual option turned on and if you do that options lags the keyboard aaaa lot like it crawls and i say this cause i had it cause i had the keyboard to work with Spanish and English so it showed me both suggestions like my xperia tl did but o boy does this keyboard doesn't like it, makes me wonder why is the feature there when it doesn't even work.

You are correct as I speak to many of my family members in Italia. As soon as I update the bilingual dictionaries its a slug fest. Have to use the google keyboard to be able to use my phone

It's sad that such feature which works on other third party keyboards won't work on the stock one
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app

The stock keyboard offers some nice features, but I found the lag astonishingly bad on my stock G3. It was to the point that it was just impossible to type,. I had to type literally one character every 4 or 5 seconds in order for it to not just break down and come up with gibberish.
Went back to my old standard, Go Keyboard. Bought SwiftKey years ago but the predictive text was making me nuts. Went to Go Keyboard for free and never looked back. Also, Go provides left-right-down-up arrows to navigate the cursor when you cannot place it where you want. Very handy.

The only keyboard that actually doesn't freeze up for me is the Google keyboard

Is there a keyboard with the numeric numbers on top with built in emoji no need to download an app or plug in?

+1

Fleksy has been solid for me

I'm usually a big fan of aftermarket keyboards. However, for some reason or another I actually like the stock one. Especially with the l theme. I had bad lag as well until I turned off vibrate on tap. A feature I do t usually use and it made a world of difference. No lag!

Fixed it
Go to Settings->App
Find LG Keyboard and clear cache
You can select also to Erase Data but you'll lose the settings of your keyboard
I've done only Clear Cache and things are a lot faster.

anyone have swype working on their keyboard?

I have looked in the settings but can't see the option to turn swype on.
has anyone else got swype working on the s7 or has it been removed?

Press the gear icon to the left of the space bar. Scroll down to 'keyboard swipe'. Job done

Swype
It's not there, you can still swype on the standard keyboard. It's the placement of the button and symbols that's screwing me up. Swype is not an option. Could be a geographic thing. Samsung has omitted swype from certain countries for whatever reason. I'm in PA

I found out on the gs6 the keyboard version is 4.0 but I have a version 1.0.81 anyone know where I can get the update or apk?
I checked the play store and the galaxy store but nothing in there...
what is roidbay like for safe apks? are they reliable?

Swype
Swype appears to be in the play store now. A stand alone app that so far, appears to work like the one that was built in. There's a free one and a pay version for $0.99. I'd like to know what the difference is. Using the free one and it's working great. Won't let me pay a link yet but it's in the store

Have you tried the google keyboard? I find it's the best "swype" keyboard for me.

Haven't tried that one much, was kinda clunky when it first came out. I've been using Swype since the Galaxy s3 so I may stick with that. It already knows my words lol

Samsung keyboard missed some abilities in recent days. 20 days ago it had language input and swype , but now i can not find them :l what is wrong ?

I just ended up paying for Swype+Dragon in the google play store. It's worlds better than the google or Samsung keyboard ever was. Although I never would have bought it if the samsung keyboard worked in the first place

Are you stupid. You must be stupid.

Samsung keyboard swipe works just fine here, been using it since note 2

exactly. although a year ago Swype Dragon worked a lot better and had more features. they actually removed a very useful feature in the updates. a feature that used to add a custom word automatically instead of your having to click to add it. also, the swiping recently became quite crappy, it doesn't predict words as good as before. if only Google keyboard had a much better swipe it would be the ultimate keyboard.
