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 my atrix preinstalled

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
cegna09: my only option is "multitouch keyboard"
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.
cegna09: seriously? Does Motorola not provide the stock software image to allow for a reflash?
Support : Please contact AT&T through: 1-800-331-0500 and they are open 24 hours a day - 7 days a week.
cegna09: ok, i will contact AT&T
Support : If you need any more information get in touch. Thanks from Motorola, bye!

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

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.

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.
Can't seem to get Voice input working. Using on Cobratos Formel MIUI, but everytime I press the flame to use voice dictation, i get "CONNECTION FAILED".
Anyone have any ideas? Installed TTS Extended, Google Voice Search, etc etc etc.... English is selected in the settings of the keyboard, but no go...
Forgot to mention also that the slide technique of entering text no longer works either (ala Swype or SlideIt)

Anyone know how to change the volume of the key presses on FlexT9? It's super loud. I still want it to "click" when I press a key, just probably 20% of how loud it is now.
I have multi keyboards etc, but never see the little microphone key. I saw it once briefly but never again (sorry, can't remember when or how). Did anyone ever get this working?

Have you installed voice search from the android market yet?
If not, that's something you need to do.
I have voice input working with FlexT9 keyboard (from amazon market) and also with Swiftkey Tablet.
I can't get voice input on my keyboard working with any keyboards other than those listed above.
Voice search definitely works for me, however.
Thanks Downsay, I'll give some of those keyboards a try. I can't use Amazon apps as I am in Canada and they have us locked out.
how did you install FlexT9 keyboard?
I tried the amazon downlaod and it just gives me a force close when I try to follow instruction screen and click button keyboard and input.

Which keyboard are you trying to download? Are you rooted?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
which
downoaded FlexT9 keyboard and I am rooted I have hacker keyboard running.
First install the keyboard for the first time if you haven't already done so. Then Did you move the keyboard into /system/app? If not, you need to.
Also note that after you have done this you will need to reboot the nook. Then you will most likely have a force close error. Open root explorer or however you put the keyboard into /system/app and install flext9. You will have to reinstall each time you reboot the nook tablet. I'm not sure why' but it won't stick after a reboot. Let me know if this helps you out.

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.
Is there a way I can get the swype beta on here? I had it on my OG evo and it was awesome.
Not unless you root. Have you tried Tue speed vs accuracy setting?

Thanks, I actually forgot about that setting. I just put it a little more towards "accuracy". Lets see if that helps.

I am rooted, but had no luck getting Swype beta to load. when running the installer, it says you can't lord it over pee installed version. Tried deleting files using root explorer and could get installer to run, but hung forever on licensing screen.
Would love to hear from someone that has gotten this to work. I agree that the stock version is not anywhere near a good as the beta I had on my evo 4g.

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...

Yeah but it's not as good and doesn't support as many languages as Swype Beta does. It's noticeably less accurate than Swype.

Yea thats what I switch to when my swype stops working.I dont like it as much.
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:
si
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.
shrug
Anyway - it's annoying.
