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

Haha.. I understand. It is just a beta though isn't it? Give it time to grow

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.
Happy Swype(ing)!

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

So although you don't need to sign up for the beta doing it this way, I *think* it's still the beta

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.

[Q] eBay app not showing pictures. download pictures from chrome doesn't show too

Hi. I am using lollipop 5.0.1 and i am having these 2 small problems
1 ebay app. Pics are not showing. I tried my wife htc one and pics load fine. She is on 4.4.2
2 sometimes when i go to google images from chrome and dowbload pics. It doesnt show in photos. Jist error.
Any help in either ? Thanks

Wife and I are having same issue for about a week now on our S5's. If I go to my browser I see images but not in the app. We are on 4.4.2 not lollipop so there has to be another issue. Funny thing is we see the thumbnail images on front page where it shows recently viewed items but nowhere else. I've cleared our caches, reinstalled, and everything else I can think of along with searching web extensively with no luck.

Hi there,
I had this same issue and manage to fix it, hope is not too late to suggest a solution.
My culprit was Adfree, in the latest updates it added a the ebay images string to the hosts file.
So, if you have adfree or not (maybe similar app or firewall), I'll suggest to download Hosts Editor, look for "i.ebay.images" (or similar address), and delete it.
Hope that helps!:fingers-crossed:

thanks that did the trick
since "i.ebay.images" was not found, it was an other line that had to be deleted.
eventhough I just did I forgot which line I purged....
I think it was i.ebayimg.com

Thanks for this, I was suffering from the same fault albeit on HTC One M8. I had my suspicions it was adfree related but didn't know how to sort it.

Thank you so much ... It was driving me nuts

Thanks for sharing, this fix worked for me as well.

that solved the isue with ebay images not showing.
Thank you.

Thank you for this explanation. Fixed my problem and instructions were perfect!

TYVM. Worked like a charm!!

if you have ADFREE app installed just opens adfree and press reverse button

Thanks for that. I assume it's adfree which stops the links in my emails from working. Do you have any idea what the name for that host maybe be? It get bit of a pain having to boot up the laptop every time I want to open a link. Links to down loads in the emails don't work at all but I think other links do.
---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
Ok I worked this out. Here is how i fixed it when certain links in emails don't work.
To fix it I clicked on the link in the email. The phone then try to open the link in he browser but fails. In the browser address bar you can see the name of the host. On my case it was clicks.aweder. I found the link name in the host file list and deleted it. Now the link I want to work in the email is working. I found there were lots of hosts with similar names but I only needed to delete the exact match and not any of the rest.
I hope this helps anyone with similar problems. For reference I use adfree on my rooted devuce but I am sure it works for other similar ad blockers.

THANK YOU! You're my new hero!
THANK YOU! I downloaded hosts and deleted ALL Ebay entries and instantly like magic, the app works again. It was driving me nuts for a couple of weeks. I thank you for being a credit to the community. Fantastic job--thanks again!

This worked for me, but I had to remove i.ebayimg.com

Thanks all much. This is the file I found and worked perfectly: i.ebayimg.com

Sure it helped. Thanks.

Thanks for useful suggestion. It worked me also

That's it! Thank you.

I just deleted all three eBay entries and it worked fine after that. ???

[Completed] Error message on editing post

When I try to update a post or post something I keep getting this error that's shown below but when I close whatever browser I'm using I've tried several and they all day the same and then reopen it and go to the thread my changes were made
So what I'm wondering is it on my side or xdas for the error
Now on my computer I just get taken to the blank page

So it doesn't happen when submitting a new thread it seems to be only when I edit a post
Confirmed only when I edit the edit goes thru but I get this error page instead of being taken back to the post as normal, but like I said the edit goes thru
Also if I hit reload just a blank page with XDA on top comes up

The site was having issues, but seems ok at the moment.
Also, a member who's as experienced as yourself should know to read the stickers, like this one that explains the purpose of Assist, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764768
Xda Assist is here to help new members navigate the site, that's all. :good:
I'll close this thread now.
Thanks!

how to download a full thread in any forum for offline reading ?

hi i always have problems in internet because of my traveling, thats why i always download custom roms whenever i get a chance and also it's first page of thread for any info i might need when i install that rom.
but i found that sometimes solutions to problems are found if you read full thread, so i got this idea of why not download a full thread for later use specially if i can in pdf format.
i searched google for it, there are many old questions of this kind but no i couldn't find any solutions.
i found httrack, it looks good but its far too complicated for a user like me, can anyone have a look at httrack and tell me how can i use it on xda?
or if there is any special software for xda which can download whole thread with images please?
any help would be appreciated,

no one?

I am looking for the same answer. I want to be respectful before just posting a question but some threads have 30-80 pages and there is always refer back to some other prior posts so I have not found a good way to catch up on a thread. I have tried reading from the end and going back 3-6 pages but I suspect there is something along the way in pages 20, or 38 or 43 that is relevant. If there is no solution, then newbies end up posting at the end of thread with what others view as lazy and not reading the thread. How in the heck do you download the thread so I can do a faster read?

{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
no, thats not what i am trying to achieve, i want a full thread to be downloaded, like with all pages it have, so i can read offline all the pages. i can't save as every page if a thread has hundreds of pages. so it's not practical.
but thanks for you input. i would wait for someone who might know a way...

I'm also looking for a solution...

To be honest, I doubt XDA itself will want this kind of function to be availble because it is funded by various ads, ads that can only be seen and only generate funds when actively online.

We'll see what they have to say..

This was the reply I got :
Eleo said:
I think what user wants is... getting an XML with all post texts including poster name/info (though it means attachments cannot get) as in when trying to extract all PMs from XDA site as an XML file.
That would be very long and huge size on 2000-10000 paged threads (even with 10 posts per page). But that could be very practical if possible

I understand but unfortunately it's not possible. The best way is to change settings to show 50 posts per page and use Chrome (or similar) to "print" and "save as" pdf :good:

Try loading the page, then right click in the page then choose the "select all" option to highlight all the text on the page, then copy the text, then create a new text file, then paste the copied text in the file, you'll have to do this with each page of the thread.
Or, you can use screen record and scroll through the pages and posts while recording.
