Hey everyone! I got my wife the shift 4g today and she fell in love with swype on my Epic so I got her into the beta, downloaded the installer and did all that jazz. Then I went ahead and made sure to enable it but here is where I got confused:
There was no other keyboard to disable. I shrugged it off and gave her her phone back but then she started getting frustrated. She said it wasn't letting her swype and that her keyboard didn't look like mine. I checked it out and it was the same stock HTC keyboard. I tried searching around but I can't find out how to disable the stock sense keyboard...perhaps there is a setting I'm missing but if not can someone help me with a way to get it to work? Thank you!
Im not sure I completely follow but I can try to help...
Anyways
Just go to settings > Language and keyboards > Check the Swype check box and accept the warning
In your text box wherever you are using the stock keyboard long press and tap "Input Method" and select swype.
// PS You dont need to disable anything through out the process, you can have multiple active keyboards and just leave Swype selected as the Input Method, maybe your issue is the beta version you were using? Not completely sure.

Wow thank you. I have no idea what was going wrong. After I installed it and selected it there was no warning that should have been my first indication that something was wrong. Anywho I rebooted her phone, re-enabled it in settings and finally was able to get long pressing a text input field to give me the input method box. Very weird.
Ultra keyboard can swipe too. Slide it. There are alternatives.
If you get swype, give sms to swype a try. It reads all your texts and adds words to the dictionary that aren't already in there (for swype).

No problem, and really, you did a good job as you didn't actually post the file/link Just doing my job! Swype discussion or links to the official beta are ok, just no links/attached files/ways to get swype.
You guys should look into theming Swype also, Myns theme for it was pretty cool compared to the stock but his whole theme was great in my opinion.

Nah, your fine. The rule basically is, unless the phone ships with swype, don't post it. You're fine with discussing it, just no links please.
Wonder why the Evo has swype now but not our shifts.
The evo started out swypeless and later received it in an update.
I installed swipe (non beta) and it runs great!

Did Swype come on the atrix? I was dumb and never even looked. instead i downloaded the installer, tried to install, it said something about the install being unlicensed so i uninstalled it and tried again. It then told me the screen size was unsupported. So did i uninstall a pre-installed swype like an idiot? or is it just not supported at all?
If it did come pre-installed, how do i get it back? I did a full factory reset, and i'm not seeing it anywhere.
nope not pre installed. will have to wait for new beta version to support the atrix. I need swype too!
ok thanks, just trying to make sure i wasn't going crazy. I will miss it until support comes. Tried a few of the alternatives, and they just aren't the same.

Swype is on the Atrix guys!!!! Two ways to enable it....
1. Go to Messaging or Gmail, hold your finger in the box where letters normally appear. After holding for about 2 seconds a box appears, choose "Input Method", then select Swype.
2. Go to Settings, choose "Language & Keyboard", then click "input method", choose "Swype"

Yes, i understand that. We've verified i was an idiot and instead of just checking for swype i went and grabbed the installer to put it on myself. when i did this it flipped out over the pre-install (i didn't realize what was going on) This somehow removed the pre-installed swype. Even a full factory reset didn't bring it back.
trying to figure out how to get it back now.
Ok, this is too much
Support : Then select Input method

Support : I'm very sorry for the inconvenience Chris. The only option is to replace your phone.
Support : You can contact your service provider for the exchange program.

I tried that. I did factory resets from both the settings menu and that method. The hard reset was actually what i tried first. My only option was to get the phone replaced, since motorola has no intentions of providing a stock ROM and flashing tool for alternate recovery.
i wish swype DID NOT come preinstalled... It comes with an old version and it popups the stupid popup when you change a word... I haven't tried, but Im fairly sure you cannot install the beta version if your phone comes preinstalled with swype. I wish swype named their betas differently so you could have both installed concurrently
you are correct, you can't install the beta, that is what got me into this mess. For what it's worth, swype doesn't support this screen size in the beta yet, so even if you could we'd be out of luck for a little while.
Someone atrix users posts swype.apk in this treads
OP, you could try deodexing your phone and replacing/removing the swype apk

Sent from my MB860
Yes, it requires root and sideloading though. Both are fairly painless now IMO. I'm going to give it a try, never had a reason to update swype until I started seeing these popups.
To those of you sharks looking for the next best keyboard, this is it. I dl'd it yesterday to run a test drive and this thing is fast - but more importantly, flawless. i havent sent a mistyped txt all day (im a speed typer, but there is an option for precision typers too). I went back to the stock keyboard and it was fail-galore, but, of course, YMMV
-its NOT the same as the swiftkey keyboard in the Play Store. its BETTER
-it learns your typing style more effectively than others advertise, IMO, via social networking/past texts/emails (which ever you prefer)
-its got some pretty nice themes onboard
-its layout is pretty comfortable and doesnt take up space with useless buttons
-its free
here's an article attesting to it's prowess:
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...there/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
heres a direct dl link:
http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta
EDIT: Out of beta! woohoo! If you owned swiftkey x, check it out cuz you get upgraded for free otherwise it's half off this first week on the Play Store
SwiftKey makes the best Android keyboard, period.
I've been using SwiftKey X for a long while, and loved it. The biggest problem I had was missing the space bar (I'm also a speed typer) and typing the letter b, or something, which it wouldn't autocorrect.
I installed the SwiftKey 3 beta last night, and it's phenomenal. It fixes that problem (in fact, try typing without pressing the spacebar and look at the autocorrect) and is overall even more responsive.
I also just downloaded this and while I don't have anything to compare it too other than the stock, I'm already amazed.
While allowing it to scan my emails, texts, and facebook to figure out my speech mannerisms is unnerving, the results are amazing!
It's like it's in my head. Of course, I'm an ex-blackberry user so I have to adjust to using the correction bar. I still want to type out all my words letter by letter. *rolls eyes at self*
But so far, an amazing keyboard.
Thanks for this. I bought SwiftKey but was digging the sense4 keyboard until I saw this. I love the cobalt skin.

You'll get updated to it; don't worry. I got SwiftKey X for free from SwiftKey 1. It'd be pretty unbelievable if they didn't give X users 3.
I'm a long time Swiftkeyer myself. Started using the original when it went Beta. Have used every version since.
My only gripe with Swiftkey, is the automatic space after using a period. My email address has a period in it and it is a bit annoying. Especially since you have to type your email like a gazillion times.
One problem I'm having with SwiftKey 3 is that they got rid of the distinct question mark button, and it seriously slows me down to have to long press a key.
Do any of y'all know if it's possible to bring the distinct key back?
Thanks for the share! I love Swiftkey and I glad that they finally have Korean language support (albeit beta) now. =)

haptic working fine for me. you mean while your type right? (just making sure). make sure you set the haptic feedback duration to at least ~20ms to notice it. i'm at 18ms and i like it, albeit it hiccups every now and then because im such a fast typer anything lower than about 15 wont work/is too short to notice
Works great now, thanks!
I also figured out my question mark issue from earlier: you can swipe horizontally across the period button. To the left right you'll get the question mark, and to the left, you'll get the explanation mark. Works wonderfully.
I just don't know why anyone would use any other keyboard.
Thanks so much for this! :-D

yeah it works. I had to turn up the duration of the feedback, and now it works fine.

I thought its supposed to correct it for ya LOL. Unless im missing something int he settings?

I'm totally new to this so I don't know what the behavior is supposed to be, but I noticed that the corrected word is usually offered as a choice for me to select above the keyboard.

after you click on the dl link i put in the first post, your browser (or phone) should automatically download the file. it'll say swiftkey3_beta-3(etc, etc).apk, so just move it onto your phone if it isnt already and, using any file explorer or in the notification bar, click on it and install like any other app
Im using a stock evo lte (not rooted). The swype that comes pre loaded on this phone sucks. It always messes up what word in trying to swype and it constantly stops working mid text forcing me to switch inputs.

Not unless you root. Have you tried Tue speed vs accuracy setting?

Did you delete all of the files? I remember on the old evo uninstalling it wasn't enough, I had to go into root explorer and delete 2(I think) additional files manually in order to get the beta to install.
I called HTC earlier today and logged the complaint with them. They said their notes get reviewed every week and even HTC in Taiwan reviews them. Hopefully if enough people complain we can get them to include a better version in a future software update.(wishful thinking lol). If someone gets the beta to install, I might just have to root.

I deleted the Swype.apk and even tracked down any file with the word Swype in in it, deleting files in lib and davlik cache as well. Still no joy.
Also tried deleting files thru titanium and restoring from backup, no joy there either. Either I am doing something wrong procedurally or there is a trick I am not smart enough to figure out.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm rooted and I'm also trying to replace the pre-loaded Swype with the Beta (the Beta version has over 50 languages while the pre-loaded version has only two, with no option to add more). I tried using Titanium to uninstall the Swype system app and delete all of the additional Swype files using Root Explorer. No luck. The Swype Installer gives me a "parse error" when I try to download the Beta.
This might push me to try a full root and install a custom rom. I need a version of Swype with an Arabic keyboard (especially since Google inexplicably removed the ability to change input methods by long-pressing in a text field).

A-ha! I found a pretty good workaround. There's a flashable APK of the latest version of the Swype Beta here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l5brukdug885u6u
If you clean out the Swype system app, the flashable apk should install with no problems. Then you can download additional languages or use whatever functionality of Beta that might be missing from the pre-loaded version.
In case nobody was aware, the stock HTC Sense Keyboard has a "trace keyboard" option that behaves like Swype. Works well for me...

Parse error is cause you changed r/w back to r/o too soon. Go into root explorer, go to the correct folder, change to r/w, delete Swype, install through Swype installer, change back to r/o in root explorer. It's so easy to get this working, I did it weeks ago.

Swyped from my eVo
Swype stops working for me when I am tapping the letters vice swyping when entering the letters:

It will freeze the phone for a moment, then drops the keyboard. If I attempt to type, it will instantly delete what I am trying to type.
I have to back out of app, and then go back in to type.
This doesn't always happen. Like now, multiple apps and I am able to type all sorts of words that begin with the letters si - but at some point, it will start messing up, and everytime I type si in it was do this odd behaviour.
I can Swype si words no problems.
I was wondering if it was the app thinking I was typing in the Spanish word Si.

be sure to swipe down to the space key after every word. I was doing this mistake and thinking hey this keyboard is crap
Love the theming options in this keyboard!
Amazing keyboard. Thought the android 4.2 keyboard was the best, then they just released this. I don't think it's really a "flow through space" kind of thing, but more like a fly through time being that you saved so much time instead of going letter for letter. Made the same mistake about not swiping down to the space bar also.
Another update
The Swiftkey Flow beta has been updated again and the current version expires on January 30 so now would be a good time to update if you plan to continue using it.

Yessir. Got it the day AP said there was an update for it. Had it for a few days, then got the notice today.

Just installed 4.0.0.61 on a clean flash of PacMan and it's working fine. In "About SwiftKey Flow" it says "This is a time limited version which expires on Jan 30, 2013".
You might want to try uninstalling and re-installing the new apk.
Edit: Also, to access the VIP section you need to create an account and login. It will look empty until you do that.

I just re-installed over it and ir seems to be working fine now. Im pretty sure itll happen to you later on too. Unless you signed up for the VIP. How do I sign up if the page is empty?

Does the page look like the attached image to you? If so, click the green "Create Account" button in the upper right hand corner to signup.

No sir it does not. I use dolphin Web browser with the Android user agent. Would it load if I change my UA to desktop?

I don't know, but it might be worth a try. That screenshot is from Chrome on a Windows PC so you could also try Chrome for Android if you can't get Dolphin to work.

Worked by changing the UA to desktop in Dolphin. Thank you very much. What exactly does the VIP grant access to?

One question, the registration question: "what is the name of our keyboard app?" I typed SwiftKey, SwiftKey Flow, swiftkey, etc. No go. WTH?
