As Swype is only available as a limited closed beta or as part of an OEM android build, please do no post any links to the swype apk files.
I'm the beta community relations rep for Swype (Brian Resnik, if you're over on the Swype forums).
First of all, yes we're watching you HAHA. I'm obligated to wag my finger at you all for distributing our software without a license. A little patience will go a long way. Trust me, the more the brass hears about people illegally copying Swype and feeling entitled to a free version (yes, we know there's no copy on the market for you to buy, but you have to respect that OEM distribution is our chosen business model), the less they want to support a beta program at all. The better we play nice with eachother, the sooner more people get into the beta!

lol, I'll re-instate the deleted threads after the public beta is out tomorrow. Great find.
Yes people, stop distributing the beta swype. If you didnt get to sign up then its your lose. By the way I got my invitation today
in all reality lets respect what the swype developers want.
Whew. Glad I got my Beta Key early. >:3
Just go to beta.swype.com and register. When we open the gates again, you'll be first to know and install.
Sounds awesome, but I'll believe it when I see it.
That's why I follow this forum, and a several Android™ blogs.
It was through them, that I found out about the Beta program.
I also received my Swype Beta app
If you didn't get an invite but you registered, go to the beta website, login and ask them to resend your invitation. Worked for me.
Got an invitation as well, it's soo good. Wish it had the look of the stock keyboard though. I like the consistency across the UI and apps.
I got my invitation today, too I love swype!
but how are those of us who are part of the beta supposed to get themed versions. you guys need to hurry up and make it skin-able. Also, even if you did kill the beta program... we would still get it. We always do.

and the open beta will be again:
- time limited 90 days?
- only 3 languages?
I am from Austria and i got my invitation for English, Spanish and Italian too today.. funny...
Would be great to see the official multilanguage version tomorrow (+ the option to buy it LOOOOL... funny joke )
I know you hate me anyway.
Swype has updated their page with the new beta instructions. It appears at this point to be a limited public beta, as it will only be available for a couple of days, and requires you to enter your email address to get the download.
So threads with download links will still not be allowed.
Get the info here; http://beta.swype.com/
What version is being pushed for the public beta?
I'll tell you as soon as it actually lets me download it. The site is laggy as hell and it has failed installing/activating several times now.
Most likely due to high volumes of people trying to install it.
I'd almost rather just wait and install it the less-than-legal way.
I stand corrected. Glad they opened the beta.
see this is an honorable request and all... but it's kinda annoying when your site is down and lagged as hell due to volumes of requests. at least place the files somewhere else.
think of linux distros. why do they resort to p2p downloading too? hmmm. maybe its something small sites should look into when they don't have bandwidth to begin with....
Was anyone able to download it on Froyo 2.2 for N1?????
I keep getting "You're not using an Android phone" web page.
Yes I made sure my browser was in Android mode.
Hey Guys,
I started this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685114
And there are many people (from post 7) with a not working TouchTwit app because the support wont update TouchTwit since the update of Twitter to the oAuth system.
Now my question is if there is a developer who wants to make an update or somehing so that TouchTwit is working again. There are many paying customers (like me) that don't have support anymore...
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, pity that nobody has responded. Close the thread?
Second that request, although I'm not sure if and how it could be done due to copyright issues...
I believe social media is all about people, but with all the current platforms (twitter,instagram,facebook etc) peolpe split up and sadly you don't get to see all the updates of the people that are important for you.
When I think about a person and I want to see updates from him,I have to go throught Instagram/Facebook/Twitter etc and search his user and check if he updated something or not.That's quite inefficient.
So , I want to build an app to solve this big problem. It focuses on People. A picture is worth a thousand words so for that reason I made an ilustration of what I want the app to be (please don't mind the name it's temporary) (see attached files)
I want to hear your opinions, it's a idea that I've be thinking a lot of time.
I know some basic Java and weeks ago I began to tech myself with tutorials work with Android Studio. I learnt to do a few things buy I'm far away to be able to work by my own on such a big project.
I know many of you perhaps will say me that it won't be possible because of the limitations of the API's but that can be solved perhaps opening in a webview the link? or perhpas opening the original applicacion on the phone(for example instagram to see the new posted pic)
Sorry for my bad english.
I consider myself a rational intelligent man but I find this site insanely complex, non-intuitive,an extremely frustrating! After sleepless hours and hours and hours and hours of trying to familiarise myself with this place, this 64 year old man is sitting here in tears trying to find his last post among other simple tasks attempted. Does there not exist here, a simple starting tutorial to introduce one to the basic workings of this place? Please help.
My problems partially solved.
My problems partially solved ...
I FINALLY found a downloadable and functional apk for this forum's app (Google Play store will not play with my device at present ... That is one of the reasons that I am here) ... and that is helping me a LOT!
Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to make it a point to strongly recommend the XDA forums app to newly arriving members here.
I TRULY think that the website UI here could use some development to make it much more new-user-friendly, however.
... Another point ...
Maybe I am missing some kind of search filtering option, but, I do not see any value in hundreds of thousands of non-applicable and irrelevant search results when trying to find something here. Perhaps someone could direct me to such filtering options if they do, indeed, exist.
In closing, I must say that the reception I received when joining here was very pleasant and I am already on my way via some help
and advice from a couple of members here to solve my crashed Play Store problem.

I personally find hundreds of thousands of non applicable and irrelevant search results on very specifically searched items very very very unhelpful...

You should be able to see all your previous posts in your profile and link to the thread there. Xda is confusing unless you know what u want from it. For me if i have a question i just pop it in xda search bar and relevant threads pop up. But if u want to learn everything then u have to come up with a specific thing first theres not really a guide to it all. But u should be able to find almost anything with the right search. If not post question in a help or q&a thread. I will help just let me know what u r looking for

I simply HAD to tether to my PC as I simply CANNOT function on this site via my smartphone ... it is HORRENDOUS. I can't even figure out how to THANK people hardly or reply to their help ...
DAYAM ... what takes seconds here takes HOURS there ... SO MANY BUGS ... photo verification of reply to prove I am not a robot half way off the farking page ... and MANY MANY other concerns.
The help is great but the UI is SO unfriendly !
Anyways ... thank you for your responses and I will be much less tense now that I am on my PC
No I know how to tether ... but I have not been bothering even when at home. I have been so stupid til now. I was just emphasizing how much easier it is to communicate with this site from a large computer, monitor and keyboard is all.
Thanks tho
Hi there,
You will receive more help if you ask in this thread:

Good luck
Hello xdadevelopers-community,
About me:
I'm a "android learner" and my made first (in play-store released) app.
I made this project, to see how the whole process about an app - release works.
Not only the coding, also the other things after the pure programming.
So I tried to keep the programming as low as possible. But complex enough to learn a lot about android.
That mean the very basics (Activitys, Fragments, Intents,...) and little bit deeper things (Animations, AsyncTasks, inline Layoutchanges and presentation, GooglePlayServices, etc.).
It was a very interesting process to final publication. I learned about AndroidDevConsole, PlayStore-Entries, Logo and Picture-resultions, how ads work(AdMob), beta testing and much more.
The result was an very very dump app, but as I said, its not for sucess or similar.
About my post:
The app was released months ago, but then I get private problems and must stoped working at this part of my hobby.
Finally i want to bring this experience to an end.
I'm now at a point where I think, this app is in her final form.
So the last step is the criticism from way better developers.
(I wish i can post the link to the app here, but i don't have the permisions to do that. You can find it, if you go to the PlayStore and search for pright.superuser.tabtheright)
It would be very nice, if someone could sacrifice his time for a short look over it and give me his/her opinion about it.
I don't need a review, i know the "mechanics" are very bad.
But if you find:
unexpected crashes
app problems (something seems to work not right or shown right)
scale problems (i only had 2 devices for testing)
other problems..
Or if you had hints, critics or opinions about:
presentation
PlayStore-entry
other improvements..
..I would be very grateful to be pointed out and learn about how to make it better.
Thanks for youre time.
Ray
PS:It's my first post in this forum, so if it's in the false section, please give me a hint or move it into the right.
