I can't find a working copy of Swype for the GS3. I'm running CM9 nightlies because I can't find a 100% working Rom.
Does anyone have an apk that is fully working?
I've included a screenshot of what happens when I use swype = tiny.
Go to the Swype home page and you can enroll in beta testing which allows you the full up to date program for 6 months or so, and when your license runs out all you have to do is wipe data and you're good for another 6 months

Just outta curiosity, why is it still in beta?
I've never stopped to ask myself that honestly..I would assume that they are not fully pleased with the current standings enough to call it a full release..

it's a program to test out beta versions of swype that aren't being publicly released yet.

There will never be a stable version in the traditional sense. They consider the version OEMs pay for "stable" and the beta is a way people who buy a phone without OEM-preloaded Swype to still experience that and in return it sends Nuance usage statistics anonymous about how it's used, crash logs, etc. Swype will probably never have a standalone Play Store version if they keep on the way they have been going. However, with Nuance's recent acquisition of Swype and how they've added in all of FlexT9's features I could see it happening eventually since Samsung and HTC seem to have pulled out of preloading Swype and have copied its functionality into their own keyboards and no longer pay Swype royalties to licence it.

I'm running the latest Swype Beta on 081412 nightly. Works flawlessly. I recommend signing up with Swype over installing a .apk because the Swype Beta Installer will let you know about new updates versus waiting for someone to post up an updated .apk.

So I am a big user of Swype and really like the version on the Epic Touch, however, I have noticed an issue with auto-spacing and I am not sure if anyone else is having issues. Where I am seeing issues is spacing when I try and type single letters like "i" or "a" when typing a lot. On my older phone with swype this would auto-space and start the word. Is anyone else experiencing this, and does anyone know a fix for it?
Yea, this is a known issue with this swype version. u can try installing the swype beta version or the nexus s 4g swype and those will solve this problem. Im using the nexus s 4g swype atm and its working great, plus looks nice too.

I used TitaniumBackup to manually uninstall the stock Swype. Then went here to sign up for the Swype Beta:

I tried looking for the Nexus S4G Swype version too, but no luck. I'm liking the beta though. Very sleek. Hope this helps.
Yeah I had the beta version on my older Epic, and wasn't sure if I was going to put it on this phone looks like I will.

Sounds good, thanks everyone! Used System Tuner to uninstall because it was free.

I recently purchased the new app and it says that my Epic 4G Touch isn't compatible though it should he especially since I am reading the reviews and people with Samsung Nexus us able to.download it. Anyone with the same issue?
Get a refund, or wait for compatibility. Hate to say it, but them's the breaks sometimes. Galaxy Nexus =/= E4GT.
Of course, if you manage to get the .apk that is properly signed from the store (so you can get updates and such), you can try installing it directly and using the PowerVR plug-in for Chainfire.

I'm having the same problem. The lite version works fine but when I try to upgrade it says device not compatible even though this device is listed as compatible. Hopefully its just an ics problem and will be updated.
Can anyone confirm if this installs on gingerbread? Or if a build prop edit will allow it to install?

You need to edit build.prop to get the full version of MLB At Bat on ICS, see my comments on the CM9 issue tracker for info on what to change.
What is the difference between lite and regular? i have an mlb subscription and can already stream all games. what does the regular add?

if you have the subscription it doesn't add anything, with the subscription it unlocks lite to be like the full version.

Damn...I edited the latest Codename rom buildprop with the 3 edits and still no dice. Lite works but At Bat 12 still doesnt show in market. Anybody else have an idea or get this to work on Codename rom?
Do I have to clear Market or MLB At Bat lite app data or do anything else after edits?
I nor any of my friends can seem to get the official installer past the "parsing package" error. Was wondering if anyone else had better luck with it.
Thanks
Edit: We have a couple of members who have extracted the apk and posted it here. (check this post)
Despite hundreds of complaints on Swype's side, they refuse to neither rectify nor even acknowledge that there's a real problem. In any case, XDA is here to help you.
As per Swype's licensing, only download said APKs if you are currently in the Swype beta program.
Enjoy
mine worked. I know of a couple friends with the same problem though.
Had that error a few times, changed over to 3G connection and worked fine.
I've tried both connections multiple times and am still getting parsing errors

have the same problem u described when i downloaded the installer apk through the email link. so i went back to my prev phone and took the backup from titanium and installed it. take note of the following though:
1. if u restore both the swype installer and swype keyboard, the keyboard would end up being very small. changing orientations didn't seem to help like what others have suggested.
2. the trick is to restore only the installer. login to the installer and let it download the keyboard. you would then have a full working swype keyboard. however, this keyboard doesn't seem to be the latest one. it's slightly different from what I had on my Desire HD just before i changed over to the S3 (the button to toggle language inputs is on 'z' and not at the bottom row). the version numbers are different as well.
hope the above helps

When it first shows up its tiny, but while the keyboard is open flip it to landscape, then back to portrait and it will be better! Better in that it will be full width of screen, but still a bit shorter than other keyboards. But I still prefer it over others.

I haven't used Swype in a while since I switched to Swift Key. I want to try Swype again but they are not sending me the email with the installer link. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

I think they were just having some major issues with their servers.
I tried to create a new account with my same e-mail. Told me an account already existed, so I went to log-in instead, and now it lets me sign in finally.
Went back to the installer on my phone, and now I can sign in and download beta 1.3.

I LOVE swype but this version is the worst thing ever. why do i get xxx everytime i want ! and why :/ when i want ? its so dumb none of the other ones had that issue. I dont want to swype emoticons! and it seems to remember EVERYTHING! each and every typo gets stored in my personal dictionary so I have to go in there and clear it out so it doesnt always think im using that one!
