I have stopped using swype since 2.4 is horribly inaccurate and I can't use swype from eclair. Anything I can do to use eclair swype or use the beta?

Swype isn't that horrid. Look I typed this response using it and I didn't do half bad.
You tried screwing signed with the settings at all?
With my phone using Cognition, because it just runs better.
No, eclair Swype isn't horrid, froyo Swype is. Messing with settings didn't do anything. I'm using HTC _IME as a keyboard and it is working great. Eclair Swype had awesome error tolerance and correction.

Does anybody have it working on cyanogen mod? Every time I try to do something it just pops up an error saying that swype is configured for a different device and wont work.
Note: I'm not asking for an apk here, the swype app is warez. I'm talking about the official beta not working.

I've had this happen in the past. I just uninstalled Swype and the Installer then re-downloaded and installed all again. It all worked after that.
I swear I tried that already, but it works now thankss! The quantity of swype has gotten a lot better, it even has a mic button now

I agree 100% on this, it works MUCH better on my Hero than the last release which lagged so bad it was unusable!
I've used quite a few keyboards and my favorite was the Droid x multi touch that I used when I had cm6 but I reverted back to liberated froyo which isn't compattible with the droid x keyboard. I need to find another keyboard

swype by far.

I use Swype as well. You should also try SlideIt.

Smart Keyboard Pro
I like SwiftKey but I need a more responsive keyboard. Lol I type fast
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
the droid x multi touch! swype can be a little hard to correct sometimes
Smart Keyboard Pro too. Its international keyboard layouts come with built-in dictionaries.
I wish I could get the keyboard from the Samsung captivate

SwiftKey is, IMO, the best by far.
It takes a little patience for it to learn your style, but it's well worth it.

Slideit just doesn't have a decent enough prediction.
Swiftkey i tried multiple times, but it just doesn't do it for me, mostly because you still have to be accurate about what letters you do type. The word prediction is very slick.
I would definitely have to say swype by miles. You don't have to be accurate. Fast and sloppy - and its way faster then i could ever touch type.
As for people having issues with correction. you gotta learn to double click the messed up word.
Close second is the droid x multitouch (not working in liberated froyo) and followed by the stock htc_ime - although admittedly swiftkey is superior to stock.
edit: has anyone tried the new swype beta? its considerably faster, and with better prediction.

I need help with that. When it says my phone is set to block installation of applications not found in the Android Market the I click on settings there is no unknown sources option ):
What do I do??
EDIT:
I sideloaded it with the sdk so I got it but I'd still like to know why I dont have the unknown sources option
EDIT#2:
Nevermind it still blocked the installation. Please some help?
I just got the gingerbread keyboard. Thoughts?

You need to either sideload the actual SWYPE application .apk file (not the installer) or enable install from unknown sources and then run the installer. I'm not sure about the latest Liberated release, but I know that in Cyanogen Mod 6.1 there is an option that you simply check to enable installation of non-market applications.
I've been using SlideIT for a few weeks now, and Swype before that. Just tried Swype again today after flashing Liberated, and I have to say SlideIt seems better. In particular, I like the suggested words being immediately above the keyboard in a row, instead of a big box at the top of the screen. SlideIT can be a little iffy on occasion, I'll admit. Granted, I'm using version 1.60 of Swype which I'm sure is extremely dated.
Oh and I've tried those weird keyboards like 8pen et. al... don't like them at all. 8pen feels like a rotary dial, lol. Swiftkey was nice, but I'm too lazy to hit all the letters in (or even the first 2-3 as is usually the case) when I can just swype.
Swype = overrated, clunky piece of poor autocorrect crap
SwiftKey = worst keyboard design ever, small keys
SlideIt = looks terrible
Better Keyboard = looks terrible, lackluster autocorrect
8pen = Do I need to say anything about it? Common sense dictates it'd be slow as hell no matter how fast you type.
That leaves Smart Keyboard. The best, hands down.
Can anyone confirm that we can get a working version of Swype on our NexusS4G and a possible link it TYVM I also miss the voice mail off the epic where we could see and control the sound file. Any Apk recommendations on a replacement?

same here, it works fine.
but it sucks compared to Android GB Keyboard
i used to believe Swype was great until i started using AGB keyboard, now i can't live without it.
it's simply that good
AGB keyboard = stock keyboard on 2.3.3 / 2.3.4
i actually find swype to be cumbersome and slow now

Granted I'm a first time Android user, but I couldn't get used to the keyboard on my NS4G. I'm also coming from a Pre with a physical keyboard that I could type one handed without looking.
I admit the Swype keyboard looks like garbage compared to the new keyboard, but in terms of usability, I can punch out a text using Swype waayyy faster than on the new keyboard.
okay, yes, if you want to type one handed in the mist of a rush hour in a public transit, then Swype is a better choice
but for multi-touch fast 2 hands typing, the stock android keyboard is magnificent specially when it comes to language switching
it gives you instantaneous language swap, so in the same message you can mix and match languages without the looooooong steps required on swype.
Confirming also that swype is working fine on NS4G. I had to log into the swype beta website, 'remove' the old device they had listed for my account, re download the inataller, let it do its thing, e.g. install, license...
Off topic, do guys get key lag with AGB Keyboard? ..and did u install from market, or literally just the stock?
pileosnafu said:
I went there today, and saw that the Beta is still open. Just sign up to get the keyboard.
Also after 30 minutes of using the stock keyboard, and then 30 minutes of using the sywpe I went back to stock. The predection function is good. Almost as good as the real thing i had on the epic

do u keep vibrate on? Does that make the keyboard lag and/or miss keys (for you)?

Use keyboard manager from the market to use Swype in portrait and then switch to whatever other keyboard you want in landscape.

Is there any way to get the non-beta pre-loaded version that was on the Epic?? I really really miss the ability to double tap a misspelled word and bring up a list of other words....
Swype worked for my Captivate until I downgraded from gingerbread to froyo. Then, after a short period of time, Swype quit functioning with a message about my "free trial" ending... Related to froyo? I'd like Swype back, anyone seen this problem?
Thank you

One way to fix this is to get the latest swype beta directly from swype
http://beta.swype.com/
Another way is to find one of the swype.apk floating around xda that is permanent or does not have a trial period to worry about.

Just download cognition 5.3 and extract the swype.apk from system/app and place it there on root of phone and then install.

I've has a good look around for the info bite can't seem to find an answer. I have a UK Note with the Indian ICS ROM and of course it already has Swype but I've read of people on here inhaling Swype beta on their devices and it being very good. Can I do that as well even though I already have Swype? It's just the screen shots of the beta version so a much more compact keyboard which would be good with the added screen space for viewing what is being typed etc. I used to have the sensation and was able to instal Swype directly from their website but that device didn't have Swype from stock.
Many thanks

Hi,
I just installed the new beta version which is awesome. All you need to do is google Swype beta and register. This will allow you to install the latest version of Swype's installer which then installs the new Swype beta.
You will be happy to know that you can now install it even if you have the pre-installed one that came with the phone. Voice recognition also works really well as they have Nuance technology who have bought Swype.
^i just did that too
working perfectly
Just done it and it's a vast improvement over the stock Swype that came on the phone. Thank you
