So I think this is a problem. Sometime when I swype certain word, I don't get the word I want. It's almost like the swype program had its own idea of which word I was trying to spell. For example, it doesn't know the word funny. I had to add to the dictionary. It also keep giving me "knorr" when ever I tried to write know.
I can only think of a few possibilities. (1) the original swype dictionary database isn't an american version (maybe uk english). (2) my touch screen calibration is off.
I'm am using axura's build, version 2271. I wonder if anyone is experiencing similar problem. I have tried adjusting the accuracy/spewed meter to no avail. I have used swype before on my hd2 (wm6 + android version) and never had this problem even though the screen calibration on my hd2 android was off.
Any advice, guys? Much thx.
I think couple of older versions of swype had that problem. Upgrade to newest one and it is much better. Just sign up for beta at their website and install the new one.

I had the same problem with a couple of different roms. I just retrained it. It does make you wonder tho
Like the 2nd poster said, some versions of swype are missing words. If you go to the Bionix V discussion thread, there is a new version of Swype. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that would work fine with Axura. I would flash that if I were you. I had that problem and it pissed me off until I found out about it (in the SBG thread somewhere, I think).
download latest swype.apk
go into your files on phone, with w/e u use.
system/lib/
delete swypecore.so
go to system/app/
delete swypetips.apk and swype.apk
go back to system/lib/ make sure the swypecore.so is not there, if it is delete it.
reboot, you must reboot.
now put the new swype.apk in system/app/
now use swype installer from www.beta.swype.com
to update your language files, and BAM you got you a new language pack and new swype.
Much thanks for all the help, guys. One more question, do these beta expires? The last couple of them I have (on my HD2) kept on expiring which was really annoying (but not as annoying as dealing with the bad words my swype is outputting).
Thanks again.
Update: Alright. Got it all sorted out. Much thanks, guys. This was driving me nuts. The newest swype also look pretty nice too.
i haven't had a chance to try it on my NC yet, but i think we might now be official.

Thanks! Don't forget to include what ROM you're running.
Honeycomb build 4 not working w swype
I installed todays swype and i can tap out words but not swype. I know i am using the right keyboard because it does trace but the words wont display.... Honeycomb build 4.
Works great for me on CM7 v14
It looks great but I can't actually use the swype function, like the poster before said.
Running CM7 and when I swype the border flashes blue but no word appears. Otherwise, it's nice to see some large screen support from Swype. I love it on my Vibrant
Doesn't work for me (NF 0.6.8.3). I can type but can't Swype.
It worked for a second then quit, cm7 v14 Keyboard is nice for fat fingers. Soo close.
I have phiremod v4.1 and the swype does as the others said; I can see the keyboard and the swpe gestures, but no words appear, I can tap them out as with the regular android keyboard, but swyping does nothing. It does make a noise after a swype gesture though.
Also when I put the NC in landscape view, the skype app takes up the entire screen.
still not able to try on my NC, but when swype does that behavior on my nexus one, if i switch to the android keyboard then back to swype through the input method selector, everything works great.

You may well be my hero. I can't confirm that it worked for sure, as it threw a licensing fit since I used it on HC instead of CM7, so I'll revert back to HC and try this again. The licensing fit never occurred until I tried what you suggested.
Tried that method of switching to Android KB and back, still didnt work for me, same as everyone else.
I'm getting the same results on CM7 v17. I'm also getting a message that says swype is configured for another device and may not work correctly when I first switch over to it.

yeah, shoot, me, too. eMMC Honeycomb 2nd edition.

I have read in another thread that Nookie Froyo tends to spout random IMEI numbers when an app asks about the device it is installed again. Swype authenticates the beta by IMEI and you are limited as to how many IMEIs you can install it on. Thus the licensing problem - install Swype and it locks itself to the reported IMEI. Then run it again, and it thinks it's installed on another device.
Licensing errors
I'm also getting licensing errors but the keyboard does appear to load correctly on, CM7 #17,
damn. Was so excited too. Wont swype. Have been dying to put it on my NC, typing on this thing sucks.
Sometimes the betas get hacked (but no posting warez here!) so they are not IMEI locked anymore. Unless we can figure out a way to report a stable IMEI on the NC across all firmwares per device, that may be our best bet .
Will try when the WSVGA will be supported in french..
Yes I can confirm what is being said here about the IMEI... Definitely the root cause here as reported on the swype official forums.
The way I see it, this can be worked around without the need to hack the Swype package. My understanding is all we need to do is spoof the telephony stack a little better, so that the IMEI is consistent. I am at work so I cannot do too much to find out how hard that would be.
android API call for getting IMEI is
android.telephony.TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()
First step would probably be to override this function and just report to logcat to confirm the Swype Licensing process (Would have to check both "Swype installer" and "Swype" applications this way, full end to end install process) calls that function to retrieve the IMEI instead of using another method.
Then if that works, override the function to return a static number. Does anyone know if the IMEI can be used to reverse lookup manufacturers and devices models the same way MAC addresses can? If so, we may need to carefully pick the number returned so that if Swype does a reverse lookup it thinks we are using a valid device - Such as Galaxy tab, which I believe is functioning under the latest beta.
I am definitely not an expert android dev, I barely understand this stuff so far. Just hoping to get the conversation started because I'd really like to swype.
Would someone be kind enough to send me a link to a STABLE version of a Swype apk for my Eris. I have tried searching the boards for a file, but I mostly find tuts that either have the newest unstable apk, or are for phones that are not even close to Eris specs. Thanks in advance and I am much obliged.

I'm not so sure there's a stable swype release for the eris running gsb. I'm pretty sure you are either in the beta and deal with it or you get a different keyboard and deal with that....
I figured there might not be...more or less I want to try if out and see if I like it, I just don't want to install a build that has major bug issues.
Sent from my ERIS GSBv2.1 using XDA App
FWIW, I've been running swype beta on GSB and on FroShedYo's, xtr's, etc.. and the only bug that I've found that's consistant (to me) is that after you reboot, you have to long-press a text field to change input method back to the regular keyboard and back to swype before it will work...Otherwise, it works great for me again until I reboot.
Stable
I have a version that was sent to me that I haven't run into any problems with.
email me if you want the apk. I'm thinking about trying it out on my archos 101 tablet.

there are two that I know of but its against the rules to link to them directly.
search google for the following and find it yourself. =-)
swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA
there is another one but I can't remember the file name since I dont have my phone on me today. but 1.60 that was floating around 6 months ago never expired. most of the other versions did, but I believe I had a 2.60 version (or close to that version) that worked just fine too.
oh, and i've found no issues running swype on GSB 2.2 or any other previous version. It sticks, and does good. the only issue that isn't a big deal is double tapping any word to change it (because of a bad swype) is testy as the new GB selection tool likes to auto apear "cut or copy" I have to select cut, in order to reswype in place of that selected word.

This method I got from Evo 4G forums. I don't claim this as my own and I can't remember who posted it first, hopefully it can help someone. Remember nandroid first cause if anything goes wrong you can go back.
I first removed the old sywpe using Titanium Backup and then used root explorer to delete the swypecore.lib(also has numbers but I can't recall). You can search in system/libs or just do a search with root explorer menu. After that I restarted to see if there were any fc's. None at startup so then I went and installed swype 3.0 After setup I restarted again(because usually the fc's start after reboot) And sure enough when I went into swype it fc'd. So I uninstalled and made sure swypecore.lib was deleted as well in root explorer. Installed swype beta 3.0 one more time and this time it held with no fc's. Hopefully if you get an fc the first time you can try again and have sucess.
I froze swype and installed over it. It won't authenticate til you unfreeze, but it worked for me

Nice. Didn't think of that but I did get the 3.0 beta to work after uninstalling the baked in swype. I am a registered beta user and I always keep the apk handy.
From the official Swype support forums, read the last paragraph.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15364394#post15364394
More or less what the OP said.
Honestly just do a search with root explorer for swype and reboot the phone and do once more search and if everything is gone you should be good.
After that instal the swype installer
I know what I'm about to say is a little off topic, but I think it's cool that Swype is attempting to help out people who aren't running "official" firmware on their phones.
Hello guys! I installed the Avatar ROM (and tried some others) but i really miss the Swype keyboard, which was shipped with my Razr Maxx (ICS). Has anyone a solution (or copy?) for the Motorola swype apk? The new Swype version in the Market is not good, i hate it
I know that the Version number was something with 3.21. Thanks in Advance!
I cannot promise that this is a safe option. However, if you google "Android Swype 3.21 apk" you should be able to find something. Swype appears to be out of beta now so you may have difficulty finding that version, since it appears to be beta.
I can, however, recommend you a few keyboards that I enjoy using. I recommnd Swiftkey entirely, it's fantastic and has a Swype-like feature called flow. Kii Keyboard also comes in high recommendation from some friends though I haven't tried it. Those are both available on the play store.
lucky patcher and swype
Hi I installed lucky patcher and swype 15, and they work fine i will see if i can find the link for you. heres one link.
http://www.apkstall.co/2013/05/swype-keyboard-15015186.html
and install lucky patcher.apk and follow the instructions.
Try using the Google Android Keyboard from the Play Store. It's smooth like our stick Swype.

Thanks for the replies! I found a Swype 3.21.92D.39062 apk, the RAZR Swype is .39616, it is almost the same (almost) and does the job nicely... The new Swype in the market (Version 1.x) is horrible AND i can not take my dictionary to the new one. So i decided to stay with 3.26. However my friend owns a RAZR i, it has installed the Version i am searching! He will root his device hopefully soon, because after that i would be able to copy his Swype APK. It is located under /system/app, with all other system apps. Root ftw
