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

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.

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
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.

Same issue here
has anyone tried removing swype from a rooted stock rom using 1 of the methods available for removing stock apps and replacing it with the new beta?
I'm anxious to try the new version with dragon.

I just did that few days ago. New beta SWYPE is probably a hundred times more accurate/pretty than the stock one that comes with the phone. Haven't tried too much of Dragon dictation but still definitely worth getting it.
I did it twice actually since I just flashed SHOstock ROM.
The first time i followed these directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20893638
The second time I just used titanium backup and it worked just as well with no issues.
Good luck.
I haven't had any problems with it. I don't use the dragon feature, but I did test it and it works.
I manually removed the APK the first time, but like the previous poster said, TB also works.
The .so file was versioned, so I left it on there (it won't be used by a newer version anyway, since that will have its own).
Just select Swype in TB and select "Uninstall".
Then install the Swype installer and go from there.
Just keep in mind you'll have to do that anytime you flash a stock ROM that has it included.
If you flash a ROM with integrated swype, without wiping data, swype will crash when you try to use it.
Just go back into TB, uninstall the system version (you'll see two in the list), then select the beta version and "Wipe Data" and that'll fix it.
Thanks for the help guys! In fact I'm writing this post with my new Swype!

Dragon
I used dragon dictation in my car on my way back from work and i was so happy with it. I sent 8 texts and only made 3 errors. Its on par with google's speech to text. It uses very little data too...i only have 200 mb so i have to be careful with stuff like that.
I'm loving the Swype Beta w/Dragon. I use Unnamed 2.2.1 and had no probs at all deleting the old skype with root explorer and downloading the installer. Dragon dictation works great and swype's accuracy seems much better. A+ all around!
Every time I try to install swype, I get a parse error. Meanrom 2.2 any way to fix? I'm using their installer

Same issue here on any ICS ROM. After searching the Swype forums, there are ALOT of people in this boat. From my reading, it only has this issue on ICS. To paraphrase Nuance's / Swype's response: "The OEMs and carriers are our customers, not you, so get over it. We'll fix it when we feel like it."
Hey ppl. I dont know weather I'm gonna help you with this.
I suggest you use Touch Pal keyboard. Its super fast than Swype and accurate. Its my favorite keyboard. As soon as i flash new ROMs, the first thing i download is TouchPal. Check there demos at the below site.

<remove the spaces>
They use something called Touchpal Curve, Which is much easier than Swype. Which predicts loooooong words really fast.

I find that TouchPal is far less accurate than Swype, plus has some sort of glitterly line instead of just a plain jane line when swyping. Thanks, but no thanks.

You can turn that off in settings.
I'd recommend uninstalling, then cleaning cache, then trying to install swype beta (which supports ICS):

Tried that and it did not work. What worked for me was installing the Swype Beta installer, then installed the Swype apk located here:

The keyboard installed and I was able to update it to the latest and am using Swype on ICS happily.

You know there is a "trace" keyboard option under language and keyboard in ICS.
Swype HTC Style, just as good.

I know that is an option, but after using it for a while, I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. It's auto word selection is not as good (actually, it's pretty horrible). For example, every time I typed good, the trace keyboard would put god, no matter how many times I fixed it. Swype learns and so the auto selection is uncannily accurate with Swype (almost psychic).
Also, if the auto selection gets it wrong with Swype and I am past the word, I can go back and click the word and it still offers suggestions. The built in one only offers selections for the current word so if I found a mistake, I would have to retype the whole word.
To me, the built in HTC one is a poor man's Swype.

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.

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!

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.

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!
