Issues installing Swype - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My mother just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S3 and she is very dissatisfied with the default keyboard on it. I rooted the phone for her and tried to install the Swype beta application. I am currently having an issue where it is stuck at "checking installer version". Is there any workaround I can do to fix this issue or bypass it?
I've tried a couple of simple solutions to no avail; I've tried force stopping and deleting data, uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling. Thanks in advance for any replies for any help that may be given.

had same issue..clear data and uninstall it and reboot phone and re download app

It seems the issue was that the download servers for the west coast were having issues. I have it working now. I find your response to be very unhelpful in the issue. I wasn't looking for a new keyboard, I was looking to get one I already enjoyed and my mother enjoyed as well to work on her new phone since the built in keyboard was very unintuitive. Next time, please only respond to a subject in the Q&A section if it solves the issue that the original poster has asked for help on.

Order & Chaos for Infuse

Has anyone successfully installed Order & Chaos on the Infuse? Seeing as the Infuse is such a close cousin to the Galaxy S phones and most of those phones officially support O&C, it seems like it should work fine on the Infuse but I haven't seen any threads about it.

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

lol @ WoW
dude you werent kidding! look at the screenshots..
*shakes head*
Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

with branding and market keys you won't see every app. use http://market.android.com to see all the apps. apps will push to the phone, or you can get the site from the phone if you change the useragent in the browser.
It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

Worked great. I could've sworn I had already tried this but maybe it was a slightly different .apk.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).
Downloaded and plays fine on my infuse but wont download on my buddies motorolla droid. I used the same apk as I did on my phone.

Nice, thanks...
Weird, just downloaded this on my work pc, then e-mailed it to my gmail. In the e-mail, next to the attachment, when viewing on my phone, there is an "Install" button right there in the e-mail, which acted just like .apk installer. Is that a feature of APK installer, or what? Either way, that's pretty damn cool...

A bit OT, Tapatalk?

Anyone having an issue with tapatalk? I can't search for forums (searching for forums to subscribe to, not searching for posts/threads...although I don't think that's working either). Also the forums I'm already subscribe to are very very slow to load. Notice tapatalk.com isn't coming up either....

I always have issues with Tapatalk. I've regretted spending money on it since I bought it so long ago. It seems the developer just can't fix the issues.

These problems have always persisted, regardless of my device and set up.

[Q] Purchased Apps

Silly question, I've bought an app and since I will be upgrading soon, is that app transferable from one android phone to another? I figured it would be since it was purchased under my gmail account. Just need some clarification. Also, I have to get my post count up so I can post in the dev forums!! :laugh:

Yes. As soon as you sign in to your Google account from the other phone, it will be available to you again for no charge via playstore.

They can also be on multiple devices at once. I have my Thunderbolt as my main phone and also an inactive Incredible that I use on wifi to test neat stuff like CM10 (Jelly Bean is awesome by the way) and i have a lot of the same apps on both of them, particularly Titanium Backup Pro. Google has made it really easy to continue using the stuff you buy...as it should be.

I downloaded Swiftkey. I used the trial version about six months ago and totally loved it. I may try swype if there is a free version and see what the differences are. Thanks for your recommendation!

S note handwriting to text issue. Plz help

I use my note for documentation at work, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. When I'm using s note (regardless of template) and have the handwriting to text feature on I keep running into the following problem:
After writing a few things down, pausing and going back to writing the program freezes up and erases all my notes =( I've exchanged the note once already for this same reason so I worry it's a program problem. Samsung doesn't seem to know anything about it.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Or can anyone offer a suggestion please? It is not rooted (yet) and happens before and after the most recent update. I'm in America and would gladly provide any other info needed.
Kinda feel like sammy let me down here :banghead:

No problems, that's what we're here for. You might also want to try 7Notes from the market, the recognition in my opinion is much better. It is a paid app but we'll worth it.

The trial version is Japanese only. If you want to try, test it for about ten minutes and refund if you don't like it. You probably will keep it, it's that good and cheap!
There used to be an English trial version but they removed it when it was released.
