Swype - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this is where I would post or under the Apps section, but I was wondering if anyone can spare 1 Swype installation for my EVO, I apparently ran out because of all the wiping and such and I was ignorant that there was a limit in the installations. i already sent them an email two weeks ago to reset it, but still no reply.
I really miss Swype and I was wondering if anyone can spare me 1, please PM me, I will be immensely happier with my EVO and your gratitude that's all I want :C.
This is by no means anything else, just need Swype. Thanks everyone .
-Good Day

Copy it to the root folder of your SD card. Navigate to it and open it with a file manager like Astro. It should prompt you to install.

Thank you so much!

The installation worked, but Swype doesn't do anything, now I can't write or text
It says the screen size is not the same. I think its the Swype installer saying its a Galaxy

Try this file. I had the same issue, plus expiring versions... I found this one in another post and it may by-pass the issue of expiring. Give it a shot.

SlideIT keyboard
I hear everyone talking about Swype, which isn’t even out yet when I’ve been using SlideIT for a while now and LOVE it. I’ve used the Swype beta and I gotta say, SlideIT just works better. Its dictionary is better, it’s word prediction is better and it’s way of choosing alternate words is better. Instead of forcing you to choose from a popup menu, it makes its best guess then gives you an unobtrusive menu of alternate words to choose from in case it got it wrong. Please, try SlideIT, it’s a superior keyboad and it’s already available.

with mic?
is this the new swype version with the microphone by chance??

Palm messaging works on Dash

Hello all,
Wanted to share that I was able to install the cab file taken from the palm messing that was found in the MDA section of xda-developers.com forum, can't find the thread now sorry!!!!!! But I was able to install and get the program to send text messages out, but it will not thread because in the registry couldn't I couldn't change the sms key to sms.old
In the Dash registry it was a lil different than the MDA, if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated. I know it's simple just not sure, still neebe but willing to learn and try!!!!!!!!
Yes..someone please get this to work. As i'm sure we are all coming from MDA or similar devices. I was one of the lucky ones to get the threaded sms app from Palm working on my device. It's definitely nice. Don't get me wrong the 2 sms threader apps that are available now: sms threader & TXTMAN are nice..but they have some big tradeoffs that didn't occur on the Palm version.
umm..wow..it really does work. I did the normal instructions from the "How-To"... no notification sounds for it though. Im sure a little registry hacking could fix that. Everything threads hmm..testing mms..well i actually i cannot test..just realized I can't even navigate anymore lol. Pressing the back key closes the program. ARGHH! you can get around the smiley's and Mytext just buy bringing up the option but other than that it looks like a dead end. Any suggestions?

I was using the cab file for the ppc and I haven't been able to get it work like it was working on the MDA. Tried all kinds things in the registry, but nothing seemed to work.
Then I finally got the thread to work but all together lost MMS, As for your situation did you make the registry tweaks to sms and mms1 and change them to .old? Not to familiar with 1.5 and assuming it may have to have the same setup. If I find anything I will let you know.
For now I have taken it off and it required for me to reset the phone and start all over. So once again I will be working on the aforementioned issues.
I didnt do the registry entries, I wasnt able to find them on BB's site.
The version I have is branded as "SmartPhone" vs the PPC version which I also have.
I think it is for the older processor type maybe?
G
ok, found the info on BB's site and made the registry changes as well as the app unlock.
VC still refuses to run on my Dash, all I get is "VoiceCommand has encountered a problem, restart voice command"
Noticed that voice comand also completely breaks the built in voice dialing
G
Could someone send me the install file please? thanks

Thanks in advance,

I also need the smartphone version. If one of you good hearted souls can assist with this. thanks in advance.

see thru keyboard possibility

I was wondering if this was around or even possible for the Hero of even Android.
http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?productId=92439&platformId=20
i downloaded better keyboard, and downloaded the see thru keyboard skin... works fine on my hero... =]
where did you download it? Can you post the link please?
It should be available through the Market application.
the only keyboards I've been able to find in the market aren't full screen keyboard: A keyboard that will cover the entire screen but be opaque so I can see what I'm typing underneath.
I think the only you're talking about, because you gave no name for the application, is the Better keyboard. It's cool and all, but not what I'm looking for.
Here are a few links that might help.

Reading is an art form these days .
Still, the OP of this topic probably asks for a 'fullscreen see-through' keyboard app / skin.
Little side note from me: Why would you want to install Better Keyboard on a Hero? Something wrong with the HTC_IME?
thank you for clarifying dipje. Does anyone know if it's even possible?

[Q] Swype please !!!!!!!!

I have updated to 2.2, and lost Swype, i have e mailed them, but they never seem to reply, anyone know a workaround ? I registered, but have lost my password.
I have used the search function on here, but found nothing. Please help me !!!

I'm sorry I can't help with Swype but can I suggest also giving Swiftkey a try?
I find it faster and more accurate than Swype (accuracy could be just me) as it can predict your next word quite accurately. All you do then is select the word rather than typing anything. Clicking one word is faster than swyping the word out?
It's available free on the App Market and the latest version also has Speech to text input
I had to uninstall it then reinstall it again using the "Swype Installer" found in the apps screen.
Worked fine after that.
all sorted, thanks anyway guys.
just an FYI, i've found that every now and then, it kinda runs out. so when swapping roms you get a copy of swype that's not fully functional. running the old installer again isn't enough and you have to get a new beta mail sent out and install it from scratch.
that worked for me. (just in case someone tries what worked for the OP and it doesn't work).

LG Optimus Dual's gestures

Hi everybody!
Is there an application that lets you use lg optimus dual's gestures? I refer to the possiblity to move the cursor, when you are writing, left or right simply by hitting your device on the left or the right side.
Thank you in advance and sorry my english

Bump!
This sounds pretty interesting...
Yes this is possible, actually with a little bit of porting you could use the same app. The only real problem is that the hardware (accelerometer) is different. But it shouldn't be to big of a problem. How usefull this app would be is a second issue. You are aware that it is merely a gimmick and not even very functional on the optimus right?
Hope this informed you enough. If you want someone to develop it for you, just send out a request and donate kindly
Thank you for the explanation, my real problem is how to move between text easily, i red about this possibility but it's not an useful solution... Thank you tho for helping
Btw do you know how to move practically between text?

No problem, Could you elaborate on that? I don't understand what you mean exactly. You press where you want to have the cursor on text? On website its a longpress and then you can drag (and copy search etc) Is this what you mean?
I have some problems while typing a text message, for example, my finger isn't too much precise to choose the right place;
another important problem that i have is when i'm searching on Google: if what i'm searching is longer than the bar, and I'd like to edit the last word, i can't move the cursor too right beside i should tap the "x", that deletes all...
Sorry my English i tried to explain as best as i can, i hope that it's understandable...
10q again for help

Actually I know what you mean, google thing you can solve by making a text selection and draging it to the beginning. For the text problem there isnt really a solution. I got used to it pretty fast and im accurate now. Also the gingerbread keyboard is a bit better when it comes to text selection, if your not using it yet it might be worth giving a try
you can find a flashable package of the keyboard here.
Hope this will help you!
Edit: Text selection in google mobile is indeed not possible. A solution for this could be to use classic google which has a larger text box. (I am using this since the beginning, its actually faster and less buggy, downside is that you have to zoom in and out a bit more)
I already have a gingerbread keyboard, thank you...

Ok good, best keyboard imo. OT: you still want the dual gestures? Could ask some dev's to take a look at it
no i don't think i will, it's not so important, i don't want to bother a dev for so little...
Hahaha, lonely in this thread. We could have almost handled it with pm's

I just sent an Support ticket to Swype asking if there's an option to export/import words of/to the user dictionary of Swype and additionally asking if there is a general problem with dictionaries bigger than about 1300 words. Swype worked miserable for me as my dictionary grew this big. I had to manually delete words to solve this probleme and I was quite a bit annoyed...
yes me too, I think I did contact them about a year ago. they said no. if they do help you let me know
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
The support answered me, that the export is not possible and thats really bad.
The import is annoying but no big thing. Just make an long txt file, one word a line. You can't import all the words at once, but if you mark about twenty of them and then long press the Swype key you will be pretty quick importing 1200 words - what I did in about 20 minutes or so.
