Hello All,
I am attempting to work with Swype support, as I keep getting stuck in the DRM with the beta, which disables the product and pops up "registered on another device, limited functionality", etc.
They have said they have tested it throughly, and have been "unable" to recreate the issue.
I would like to show them how many people are experiencing this issue, and have simply abandoned the beta, and have gone back to the WORKING leaked prerelease.
Please post here if you have had any issue related to the Swype beta, and explain what you have tried to fix it.
THanks!

I don't know what the cause is but I do know how to fix it. Simply long press on any text input box to bring up the "text input" option and select a different keyboard. Once that is done, do it again only this time select Swype. Bingo, back in action.

Doesnt work for me, and I've been working with support and tried EVERYTHING (uninstall\reinstall, re-register, all the suggested fixes, etc)
I signed up for the beta, downloaded the file and installed it. I could swype all day and nothing appeared in the text box. Installed one of the previous unreleased versions and it worked fine, uninstalled and tried the beta again with same failure mode. Swype doesn't make it easy to comply with their requests to use approved software.
Both Swype support and myself have no idea why, but we were finally able to get Swype up and running on my phone.
Huge thanks for Brian from Swype support for his help, and I recommend anyone having issue to contact their support to see if you can get the issue resolved.
The app has a somewhat complicated (encrypted) registration process, and somehow that was not completing successfully, so def let support know if you are running into similar issues
This happened to me too. I gather it happens every time I install a different ROM, I need to contact Swype to get my Beta account re-authed.
Stuff that, I can't be bothered, I'll just wait until the paid version comes out.
Thought I'd give it another try and still get the "Limited Functionality..."...As usual with restricted access, DRM, etc, it is the ones who try and follow the rules who lose...the pirates will always find a way. Back to the leaked version for me, I guess, though I do think the HTC IME keyboard is still faster and more accurate.
I also get the "limited functionality" message, but only occasionally.
I haven't tested this hypothesis, but seems like it only does this to me when I am at home--and when I'm at home, I'm usually on wifi.
Maybe there's some kind of DRM that didn't take into account that people may occasionally switch from 3G to wifi connections.
If I had more time I'd try messing with it a bit, but I'm just headed to sleep.
There's probably a call home check on first application start up. When you wipe or switch ROMs, that will be cleared, but their servers already have the product registered.
Try backing up the app-data for Swype in between wipes/ROM updates.
I got the "limited functionality" message every time, no ROM updates between download and install. I even reinstalled the installer, redownloaded, etc and it just doesn't work. Glad it didn't work, because it convinced me to go back to HTC IME which is faster and more accurate for me.

its from the other swype thread and this worked for me.
hope for the rest also
well, after some time testing and thinking about this issue i found out whats the cause of it, it happens after rebooting the phone, the reason for this is that rooted roms zip align newly installed apps which changes a lot of things in the file, and i think that the registration process requires the main apk to remain unchanged, maybe someone can contact swype developers and tell them about this and hope that they can find a solution for it.
I have confirmed with a swype tech that there is a registration\call back home immediately following the install of the apk. If successful it will have a quick spinner stating "reristering swype" and the ask you to "enable swype".
I, unfortunately, seem to have major issues getting it to actually call back home, where it states "Swype has already been installed. please uninstall and try again" (I had previously uninstalled it).
In the end, had to revert back to the leaked versions

Ive tried MULTIPLE times to uninstall and reinstall swype w/o rebooting, so I think it wouldn't have a chance to zipalign until the next reboot.
Kind of sad that Swype hasn't gotten back to me yet
Somehow, I am using the Beta version I downloaded myself. I was trying out Super D for a week which is when the Beta was open, later I went back to Dwang and Swype broke when using the Beta installer but I got it working using AppMonster. Here's the steps I followed over that time:
- Wipe phone and install Super D
- Install AppMonster from Market
- Sign up for Swype Beta
- Download SwypeInstaller and install Swype Keyboard
- Perform backup with AppMonster
- Wipe phone and install Dwang
- Download SwypeInstaller and install Swype Keyboard
At this point I got the "Limited Functionality" message
- Wipe phone and install Dwang again
- Install AppMonster from Market
- Restore backup of Swype with AppMonster
Now I can go into Settings and enable Swype in the usual way. I have been using it without a problem for a couple of weeks now.
What solved it for me
I had Swype installed and working on a G1 with Cyanogen latest but after an uninstall it stopped working for me with the same error messages as described here in this forum.
What solved it for me is not pushing the done button on the touch screen after the package install but pushing the back key on the phone. This got me in the registering Swype screen after which the swype installer crashed. Swype is fully working however using these steps.
just go back to installer , log in and reinstall. Everytime i flashed a new rom i did this. I found out u can do this 10 times, before they cut u off. Obviously they know whats up?!
obviously i like the real beat with vibration option and more stable. im using now the final pre release that was made available in a couple posts above mine. no vibration, but it works. this keyboard is fantastic!
I did a wipe flased this rom all is well love it except for a couple of minor details one i cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper. i keep getting this error (the application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. also I dont have the clock on the home screen the that the weather is attached to and no calendar i'm guess it has to do with the android settings can anybody help me fix this. also just found can't sync or anything

Please don't create a new thread to ask about a ROM which already has a thread open. Search the ROM thread and then direct your questions to the ROM thread if you cannot find your answer after searching.
Mods, please close this thread.
theres over 500 pages. after a search it probably doesnt narrow it down enough to where any person would go through each post and look for an answer. i honestly dont blame him. especially since theres a lot of residual off topic stuff from older roms, its not worth searching in that thread.

Doesn't matter, this still doesn't belong in the dev forum.
I'm sorry. I am new to this posting stuff. I did not instead to upset or offend anybody. what is the rom thread can you point to it?
clear the data on sense and reboot. That fixed it for me.

i agree, they should start a new thread for 2.09 since it the FINAL build.

I actually started a new thread on this same topic. (I missed this in my initial search)
I did go through all of the pages, and to no avail on the damagecontrol thread.
While there should be a new page for 2.09, there is not, and this is a Q&A forum. So whats the problem in asking?
Why hunt down a thread and ask for its removal while its appropriate?
How about some helpful advice?
Lots of Force Close on system functions
I'm finding that, though there are a lot of great functions to this rom, some of the base functions (most notably - PC Sync) throws force close errors:
Attach phone to PC via USB
USB Debugging comes on - no option to choose "Charge only" or "Mount as Disk Drive" etc
I go to Settings > Connect to PC
Error: application Settings (process com.android.settings) - Force Close
I'm going to try clearing data on HTC Sense... oh, it's not listed in Manage Applications.
So what now?
Thanks for any help.
First question to you guys is "Did you wipe Data, Dalvik and EXT in the recovery menu?"
Second The clock did not appeared after flash "The first post in the ROM thread specifically tell you to go to Setting/Application/Manage Application and clear data for the HTC Sense.
Third if you could not find the HTC Sense to clear the data then it must be something wrong with the flash --> Re-Wipe and Re-Flash
Most of people get into trouble is because they don't wipes when go to new ROM, second don't assume that the first flash always work. Third the file you download sometime get corrupt --> re-download and try again.
First Boot expecting to be long leave it for 15 minutes. If you have trouble sign on to google at first, just skip it. Let the ROM load then add the account under Account and sync.
If you run into trouble with data not working at first, just toggle airplane mode ON then OFF to re-initiate data connection.
Hope this help u guys.
I was looking around for a thread for this phone, but found nothing. I hope people start working on it, I'd like to mod it.
Is there anything I can do to help, like dumping the rom? Do any of the current tools even work on it?
I read somewhere Kyocera was going to put out an upgrade to 2.1, bit I can't find anything besides a mention of that.
EDIT: FEB 22, 2011
NEW 2.2 THREAD
YES! It is actually out! For real!
EDIT: Jan 27, 2011
It was released (somewhere around page 76) that Android 2.2 would be released Late Feb to early March.
START NEW THREADS!
If you have questions other than modding, it would help to put it in a new thread with the prefix subject "Kyocera Zio M6000 - "
I figure if lots of threads pop up like that it would be more likely that they'd notice it and actually create it's own forum. If everything is just tagged onto this thread, then it will just get huge and unnavigable, and the mods won't notice enough activity.
Update:
hotaru was awesome enough to post a full dump of the Zio for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8907621&postcount=287
If you look around this thread you'll find info about rooting the phone. Also in this thread a port Clockwork Recovery was released. There are some issues with it that were not resolvable. Such as if you boot to Clockwork and don't actually reset the phone, it will lose the Cricket settings and revert to Verizon. So it will work to recover a ROM and backup, but you need to also need to reset or restore when you go there.
Wasn't sure where to post this since there is no HW section for this phone, so I put it here in hacking general...
Could someone create a forum for it and move this post to it?
EDIT:
To root the phone people have had success with 1-click root for N1
And the MSL# is 000000
The debug ACCESS CODE is #777468
A copy of the 1.6 rom here
Will update here with any usefull info.
Also, this thing has absolutely no multi-touch, even though all the blogs says it does.
For Tethering. PdaNet (I can't post any links cause i'm a new user, just do a Google Search and click "I'm Feeling Lucky")
Works like a Charm.
Currently Using the Free Version and it works GREAT.
Even has an SMS client built in so you can reply to your messages while your tethered.
Just make sure USB Debugging is on and you'll have no problem.
I also put in a request for a user group for this phone. I emailed one of the admins directly and he told me if they get enough requests they may create it.
What I have really been looking for is either a hacked up upgrade Rom to either enclair or group for this phone.

I second that motion. The seems to be the first legit prepaid android phone, and it isn't really getting any attention, anywhere :-/
Which I find quite odd. I personally have the EVO and love it but I did buy this phone for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it and for a prepaid phone with a price point of 230 bucks you really cant beat it. Especially for 55 a month. I would think more people would be flocking to this. I have even considered giving up my evo for it but I do like the 4g. And the Build of the Evo is much higher quality.
Root
I think getting the thing rooted is important. All of the wifi tether apps require that. I read somewhere that someone had done it.
Do you find your girlfriend's Zio crashes when trying to watch video that you are opening from a link? Mine does every time :-(
Yup, lots of freezing, soft and hard.
I can't get rid of a "cdma: reorder" error after installing GoogleVoice. Now I can only make calls through GV or I'll get the error. I really need a better ROM, they better come out with 2.1 ASAP.
I also hope the no multitouch is only a sw issue and not a hw one.
i totally agree with you guys this phone needs some tweeking

Multitouch is something that is enabled in the kernel. I'm sure that the update to 2.1 will bring multi touch.
ROOTED!
The Zio can be rooted, download the file, email it to yourself, and open it on the phone. It is easy peasy ;-)
Paste this into the search up top: 1-click root for N1
(I would have posted the link but the forums rules won't allow me because...I don't have many posts?)
Wifi tether works like a champ.
No problems with my girlfriends phone I played with it for at least 2 or 3 hours when I first got it and eveything appeared to work fine. The only thing that I really didnt like was the factory keyboard I heard swiftkey got a major upgrade and was thinking about using it as a replacement especially cause it has the voice to text feature. And I may root her phone as well to give that wifi tether a shot. But what I would really like to see is some kind of upgrade to 2.X I think that it what will really make this phone shine.

Got my Zio rooted the same way, but now how do I enable Wifi tethering?
There is an app called "Barnacle Wifi Tethering", look it up in the app store. Once it is installed it is self explanatory,
If you like it, you should donate to the developers ;-)
Thick-buttons
Ah, there is an app called "ThickButtons", it's free, and it helps!

Got that and it seems kinda buggy. I always get some type of error the first time I try to start tethering. Always works on the second shot though.

I second this motion.
Step 1: Download APN Backup & Restore from Market
Step 2: Open APN Backup & Restore
Step 3: Backup APNs
Step 4: Plug phone into computer with USB cable.
Step 5: Drag notification bar from the top, tap the USB connection notification, and Mount the SD card to your computer.
Step 6: Find the mounted drive on the computer (may be D:, E:, F:, G:, for example) by opening My Computer. Open it.
Step 7: Go into the APNBackup&Restore folder.
Step 8: Right click on your backed up APNs (maybe like 201009041233-apns.xml or something or whatever you named them when you did a Backup APNs)n
Step 9: Open with Notepad or Word Pad if it asks you.
Step 10: Highlight all text with your mouse, or use Ctrl + A to select all.
Step 11: After all text is highlighted, use Ctrl + C to copy the text OR go to the 'Edit' menu at the top with your mouse, and choose 'Copy'.
Step 12: Reply to this topic in this thread, right click in the text box where you type, and choose 'Paste'.
Step 13: Revel in good feelings as you provide very valuable help to the Android community.
Thank you ahead of time, if you are willing to help.
yea do that for sure! and also maybe somebody who has root can grab the mms.apk and .odex files too =\
Please be patient with my noobness, I'm still learning. I recently flashed LiquidSmooth 2.5 to my Bionic, and really really really like the interface; simple and fast. Only a few problems I can't figure out:
1. Play store won't open. I've only found one way to it, by pressing menu while looking at the app drawer, and nothing happens when selected.
2. Home button doesn't work, both the hard button and when I activate the softkeys at the bottom of the screen. Back is the only way to the homescreen.
3. I can't figure out how to have a Google account in the OS.
4. The lockscreen settings have no effect on the phone.
5. The browser won't open, and Chrome claims to be missing some files.
Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?
Thanks for your help!

I figured it out, I forgot to flash gapps with it.
Now I'm not able to send any mms, I read on the development forum that a fresh flash solves this problem. Will reflashing the rom without wiping it restore the OS to the stock liquidsmooth, or will it keep my current apps and settings?
Why do you need to reflash the ROM? I believe it best to wipe everything to insure a smooth flash. Could be wrong though.
I was on 4.1.2 stock rooted, S-ON. It took me forever to try and update but I think I eventually flashed the right files through fastboot and upgraded finally.
But ever since the upgrade, I noticed my phone hangs a lot of the time. Before, as soon as I would use my phone, it was super fast and zippy to open apps, swipe screens...everything was very fast and fluid. Now it seems to hang doing anything, swiping notifications, opening apps, swiping screens.....it hangs all over the place.
Anyone else experience this? I've had problems with my wife's S3 when upgrading...something about things not getting flashed properly. I wonder if something like that is happening with my phone and I just need to flash again? I really don't want to have to wipe data.

Same issues here with international version of HTC One - try quick fix:
Settings -> developers options -> Advanced -> uncheck ANIMATION option.
Seems like animations causing phone to hang.
