(Q) Swype - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys quick question. I'm running cm7, and I'd like swype again. The other swype like apps aren't.. par yet, and I couldn't find it around here.. what version would I be looking for? Or, how would I package swype from a previous rom.?
Thanks.

Swype? Swype?! SWWYYYYYYYYPE!?

sorry for the bad metal gear reference...
Anyways, I am looking for a version of swype that works on eris? All the links I can find are trial expired, or just don't work :/
It's free now. Go to beta.swype.com and set up an account and you can download it.
Search for this file:
Swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA.apk
its the newest version, possible taken from the droid 2. as long as it says HVGA it will work with the eris. If you are using froyo, you may run into issues... I'm using it on xtrROM 4.0.4 and it is pretty close to perfect aside from an occasional fc that never affects use. Again, it must say HVGA to work with the eris.
I find 1.60 to crash like crazy.
Went back to 1.56.

1.60 is working prefectly fine for me. Never had a FC or any other problem. And I love how its spaced a little more.

Themes and apps?

I'm convinced xtr sense hates swype. I've even wiped and started again. Once a day swype locks up so bad I have to battery pull (I've watched it on ddms). Lame.

you should try ShapeWriter i find it so much easier than swype and more accurate tho its not on the market right now you can search for the apk id search and post but i might have to give credit and stuff and i dont feel like it

Swype trial ended on MIUIWIZ?

I have been on MIUIWIZ for awhile and recently my swype keyboard said my trial has ended. Has this happened to anyone else? Anybody know why it happened?

It happened to me too using Com Rom 2.1 patch...
same here on mine and my co-workers fascinate. Both running ukb
Edit: out of curiosity, would the swype from the GB leak work or does that fall into the "ukb has special swype" column?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It happened to me running Comm Rom 2.0. It was still an issue after applying the 2.1 patch.
Update: I fixed the issue by following these instructions to install the latest beta version. Though, it's not the same version (3.x instead of 2.x). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128986
Happened to me at exactly 12:00 AM...
I got the same on Com Rom 2.0 with a themed version of Swype (from v2.75 Steel Blue). Putting Swype 3.0 did solve the problem.
Fascinate users are legally allowed to have Swype obviously, according to http://www.xda-developers.com/android/official-stance-from-swype-inc-regarding-its-distribution/, however the Swype version must be the same that was pre-installed (stock). I'm guessing a lot of the current ROMs are putting in newer versions of Swype, causing these license disagreements.
Thanks guys I did end up putting swype 3.0 on and I thought we were allowed to have it but someone cleared that up too.Thank you

I downloaded flext9 from Amazon when it was the free app of the day a little while ago. Finally have an excuse to try it out. I kind of like it, to be honest.
All I did was delete swype using titanium backup and downloaded beta by going to swype.com
Working fine now and I think I like this version better

That's what I did too. After uninstalling in titanium backup you have to REBOOT. 3.x rocks. It's more accurate and also has words above the keyboard

Anyone who has not fixed this issue yet there is a fix in themes and apps under the high voltage thread. Works good.

Swype beta

Anyone try out the latest beta with dragon dictation? How much better could it actually be? Anyway, would love your thoughts..happy holidays!
http://beta.swype.com/
I quite like the new version - I don't know about the version before it, but the dragon dictation works well and is quite nice, and it's a definite upgrade over the version that comes with our phone by default. A simple backup / deletion of the original APK with Titanium Backup is all you need to do to install the Beta off their website.
Yeah..i don't think ill get it since my current Swype is themed. Just curious how the dictation worked.

Just updated was unaware there was a newer version on the beta available. So I manually updated will play around with the dragon stuff for a while to try it out.
It's not better I actually hate it it's smaller than the stock one and the auto correction sometimes gets annoying

Swype autospace problem with Chrome

For a while, I thought it was my phone that was having issues, but I happened upon the issue noted in the link below. Also, see attached screenshot for sample of the issue. Tested Swype with stock browser and it works fine.
I use Swype as my primary keyboard and have gotten so used to it that I can't imagine using anything else at this time.
If you too have, or experience this problem, go to the link below and leave your comment or star the issue.

Edit:
Forgot to mention that I'm on stock/official ICS(UCLF6). Not certain if this problem exists in other ICS builds.

I use Swype all the time as well as chrome on my note, and I don't have this problem. I'm using a custom ics ROM black star currently, but even with other ics roms, still haven't had this problem in the URL bar. It has happened to me in the captcha input box on this page though on the second word...
Are you using the version of Swype includes with the build or the latest beta from their website?
I'm using the newest beta and don't have this issue.
Incidentally, the new beta can be loaded alongside the pre-installed version now.
I use SwiftKey and whenever I type on chrome it works fine the first word or two then it starts duplicating the same word over and over again until I close out of the keyboard and reopen it. It drives me crazy!

Same exact thing happens to me (Swype though) on both my nexus 7 and note.. It is killing me! Had to revert to another keyboard. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I had no idea that the new version of Swype can be sideloaded with the stock version that came with the stock rom. I know in the past, this was not the case! Thank you much...the new version resolved this problem for me!

Happens to me too sometimes. It thinks you're still Swyping. It hadn't happened for awhile but it might have been in chrome now that you mention it.
Side note. I noticed on S3 the next word predictions show up, but they don't on the note.

This is the first version that can be installed alongside the pre-installed version.
Glad it worked for you.
I've also noticed much more consistent next word prediction and it automatically saved new words for you. Also knows makes from your contacts and it can connect to Facebook and Twitter for the same thing.
I have this problem on my sony xperia s
Same problem here as well. Stock Rogers ICS.
I actually don't use the actual swype feature, as I just like the keyboard for the ability to long press keys to get punctuation, and symbols. Swyping in a text box does help fix the problem for me though!

[Q] Swype not learning any new words?

So I have installed Swype beta, but it seems that neither the pre-installed Swype nor Swype beta will learn any new words? I check the personal dictionary and it is empty. Anyone else experiencing this?
