Issues installing Swype

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.

Assuming you mean the UK promotion...
- Clear Samsung Store data
- Open a UK account.
- Download app.
- Clear data
- sign back into your normal account (if you have one).
- - Problem solved.

You assumed wrong. This is a Play Store app. Problem not solved. I appreciate the guide though. I can use that to get some new S-Pen apps.

LOL! That's alright man. I'm sure that in most cases, those are the apps an American would be looking for. But in my case, I just want the special "Note Edition" of the Wired news app. If you're somewhere across the pond, would you mind taking a look to see if it's available for you to download?

What if I used A vpn to connect my note to the Uk servers? I still have one I believe? I wonder if that would enable me to get it.
When I locate my vpn info and get home I will try this out.

@ Mister_Mxyzptlk
I'm on the same side of the pond as you
I know, but it says "England!" Uh huh, England 2.0... New England
@ BeerChameleon
I tried saying hello to the UK Google store by using TOR. Despite the fact I was routed through foreign IPs, it still gave me the US store >.>
So I'm not so sure a VPN would work, but hey, who knows! o.o

I dont see hwo hard it was to connect to the UK store, i got the 2 free games they have offered, Though what you also have to do is create a UK account, so delete your Samsung US account, and reset the Samsung App Store, then Launch the Samsung App store and register a new account, but under the Uk, after all that is done ect.. and email has been setup, then you can do the first steps again, and just log back in with your US account, and things still works

Also looks like we should get these apps as well if we can get wired: http://www.techweez.com/2012/08/23/galaxy-note-10-1-users-to-get-exclusive-content-from-samsung/

Did anyone figure this out? Can't find the Wired app anywhere - am in Ireland and using a US Note 10.1

Ive just downloaded this here in the UK and its not bad at all. There's only 2 editions available and each one is around 3 to 400 mb.
With me being a Multimedia Designer it looks like the app was created using Adobe Indesign CS6 which makes it look well put together, good image quality and looks rather slick, very good start..

still looking for the APK?

The best feature is that it saves your place when returning to the search list, what a PIA it was constantly scrolling back down a few hundred results. Now they just need to let you filter search results by 'free' like on the website.

I had this on my mind since last year.
I'm on GB (FB's VB) and multi select doesn't work, I have to delete one by one or I'm doing it wrong.
Thanks for the announcement.

The way multi select worked for me is you long press your first item till it selects, then you can select other items.
Hope it helps.

App Docker

I want to share with you my new app.
It's called App Dock and is a side panel for all you favorite apps a lot like the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 features. Running it shows a tab at the side of the screen, when clicked it displays links to all the apps you've set. Works on any phone with any app.
Please go to the app store and search "App Docker". It's one of the first results and the developer name is HyperMobile.
Check it out and report any bugs

xPhone Pro App

Hello,
2 days ago (friday evening), I downloaded the free (Trial) version of the xPhone (Phone and Contacts) app from Google Play. 2 hours later, I wanted to download the full paying version, and I then noticed that the app had disappeared from Google Play list !
I suppose (am I wrong ?) that this has a link with the fact that Google is going to issue a new phone called X Phone !...
Anyway, I would like to be able to find a working copy of this app (last version is 2.6.3), even paying one, but this seems impossible to me; I have already found for free a "full" version, but it was not working correctly and I desinstalled it.
Is there a place where I can find a true and secure version of this app, at a correct price (the price on Google Play was 2.99 €).
Thanks to you.
Regards from France.

Why don't you contact [email protected] and ask them?

Hi, I got the xphone pro app when it was available on google play and have been really happy with it but... I also went looking on google play for new themes and also found it had completely disappeared. The pixelrush.net website is still there but the link to google play doesn't work. In the about box it shows that it's a 1 person developer from Russia. He/She did a really good job but must have moved on...
I think maybe you're right about the name clash with google's new project.

Google is going to launch an xPhone in the near feature, and has obvious bought the name from Pixelrush.
The xPhone will be relaunched PR Phone in the near feature.

I just noticed this too... so I don't really care about Googles xPhone. I paid for this app and it's also the best one I've found.
How do I get it?
www.pixelrush.net is down, lol.

AW: xPhone Pro App
Sent a mail to Google support yesterday.
It's not very nice to pay for a app only to find out one day that it is disappeared without acknowledgement.
Of course, like other's pointed out, it's the new brand xphone that might be the cause will post answer from Google....
Edit: Reply from Google says, that the app "seems" to be suspended due to technical problems.
They recommend to contact the developer.
Hope, somebody can post the reply from the dev

Technical problems yea right... but yea maybe someone can get a reply from dev. It's a nice app

Yeah, technical problems
Didn't even bother to reply to Google, because it is probably more an issue with the xphone brand.
I miss xphone too. Would be nice to get the official apk, since I re flashed the phone without a titanium backup.

Today I contacted once again the developer so I can tell you some more news - more or less its Google's fault, they are still too lazy or arrogant to correct the problem. This is the process so far:
*********Pixelrush answer******************
We are already renamed application to PixelPhone.
But application is still blocked by Google and we can't update it. We need to update it with new name, but not publish a new app with new name. Because with new app all existing users lose their purchased license.
Feb 7, 2013 We wrote a letter to trademark holder so they to notify Google again about re-publishing.
Feb 5, 2013 We received an answer from Google is that they unlock the application, upon notification of the copyright holder. We told them that they (trademark holder) already have to get a response from them, and put a copy of a letter from the trademark holder.
"If XXX Company contacts us specifically authorizing your app to be re-published, and your app does not otherwise violate the Developer Distribution Agreement and Content Policy, we will reinstate the app."
Jan 29, 2013 We received a response from the trademark holder that they have notified January 29, 2013 Google, the conflict with us settled and applications can be unlocked. We wrote about this in addition to Google.
Jan 26, 2013 We received a letter from Google, that xPhone and all themes were blocked in Google Play. (Violation of the registered trademark XPhone). To unlock, it was necessary to solve this matter with the trademark holder. Mail was sent to the holder of the settlement of the issue (renaming the application and all materials in Google Play).

Google is blocking and blocking and blocking........
