I just got an email from swype beta and was wondering if anyone has used that version, does it expire? Is it worth the download? I already have swype installed (was released with previous version of vaelpak)

It includes voice as well as fix some of the annoying autocorrect issues as well as reducing the word suggestion window popup
I thought those who already have swype pre installed were not supposed to install the beta..true?
i like the new beta better...having the mic key was enough for me...but altogether i think it is better.
btw, even if you had swype installed and install the beta, when it expires you can always go back to what you had. just remove swype apk and swype installer apk using root explorer.
i just got the first beta acceptance email (happy me) it seems they are looking for more testers. coo
I did not get an email but went and checked guess what it had me in the program re-sent the email and now I have the new swype. Yeah

The new swype 2.15 is phenomenal. I hardly make any mistakes anymore as opposed to the old swype 2.10. Give it a try. If you would like a great source for APKs like these, feel free to message me. Also includes instructions that are flawless to get it working. Very easy to do.
I just got the beta acceptance email too. It does seem much more accurate than the older version. Also, a tip on using meta morph with the official beta, just copy the file (leaving the com.android.touchinput file in data/app) and paste the duplicate in system/app. This should allow the updater to still think everything is kosher. I seemed to hit a few snags when I plain moved it.

Thank you for the post. I too have not received a beta invite from Swype after creating an account. Granted I only made the account a couple days ago, so I was not expecting an invite.
Long story short, I was also able to log onto the swype beta website and there was a button to "resend" the beta invite email. All that it contained was the link to the beta installer. I was able to use my login to successfully activate the software on my phone too.
Got my invite 12/08/10 (yesterday) via email ! Loaded the new beta (v2.15.56.14870) today. I Love it, seems accurate, and has voice-typing !! Go Swype.

Same problem I had. I went back to my previous version.
Run the repair tool in the latest installer. If it doesn't have a repair tool, then you need to uninstall Swype and the installer, then reinstall by clicking the link in your latest Swype beta email.

The emphasis is on "pre-installed" as in it was installed when you purchased your device. For those who have beta versions that they signed up for are allowed to upgrade to this new beta version. But those whose devices had swyoe preinstalled, the new beta is NOT for you.

Are you authorized to use the new beta? Did you sign up for a beta invite and was approved? If not, you're not going to be able to use it unless it gets hacked.

With Swype now in the latest release of EVO firmware, does that make the Swype apk for EVO no longer considered to be warez?
Sure, a week after I'm in the beta they release it as part of the stock firmware ;-)

I still didn't receive the invitation to the "beta program" from swype, therefore I can't install the new version of swype, does anyone have the apk and would be able to post here for me please?
Thanks
Have you tried logging in to your account? If your a member of the beta program it shouldn't matter if you got the email or not.
The update still doesn't have voice input... I'm quite annoyed. It does swype a but more accurately especially for double letters so it's not a total waste.

Problem with Swype installation
I can download the Swype installer and install it. But after signing in it somehow tries to download another installer which fails. I don't see Swype in keyboard settings. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I've been a Swype beta member for awhile and find it distressing that they don't update the beta software more often. It's sad when the 'leaks' and ports from other phones are more bug-free and feature rich than what the beta group gets directly from Swype!
Venting aside, I have a problem with the newest version, sometimes when I go to swype a word the outline of the swype keyboard flashes blue but it the text never appears. When I type one key at a time it works. I've tried doing force close and also killing the Swype process but the only way to get it to work again is but rebooting the phone. I remember having the same issue with a leak several months ago so I just put a different version on and it worked fine. I've been running the evo-tts swype port and like it but the new beta 'seems' more accurate.
If anyone has any insight into why it's failing please let me know. Thanks
To the OP:
XDA and subsequently its members cannot post swype apks as per Swype Inc...sorry.
And secondly, please remember what thread you are posting in as this is an app related question.

All you need to do is switch input method away and back. There was a forum post on their website a while back about it. They claimed they were working on it.

i've gotten three different emails about the beta update and now I have no idea if its even really up to date or not.
When I try to download the swype installer it says my phone isn't an android device. Maybe because I'm running Skyraider?

Is there any way to hack this so you don't need the installer to use it? Basically so someone who isn't on the beta can use it?
check in the apps section. theres tons of themed swype apks that work just fine w/o the installer
I tried it and I'm back to my Droid themed version cause the new one was choppy and not accurate

Make sure your browser is set to "mobile view"
Honestly I don't think Swype is going to add new beta testers. I signed up over a month ago and still no go. I found SlideIt in the market and am going to give that a try. Hopefully I won't drive myself wonky. LOL!
Is there a better swype keyboard that we can install?? for example remove the one that came with the 3.70 software and install a better looking version or the white version i see on moto devices??
what happens if i delete sprint_swype and get the one off the swype site like i did with my hero?
thank you!!

You can use the Swype installed on your device or the beta version, they should both work fine. You would probably want to remove the Sprint Swype first before installing the beta. I went back to the beta initially as it wasn't included in my ROM choice, but ended up figuring out how to use the Sprint Swype and jumped back to that. I believe they both work about the same in my experience. If its just theming you are after, I recommend checking here. It themes the keyboard picture and the trace line, and in my opinion looks a lot sharper than the Sprint or Beta Swype. You have to be comfortable with root and metamorph however.

Today when I tried to type something with Swype, it seems like the Swype dictionary got deleted. When I try to type a word with it, it does the blinking blue border. Then I turned on the text prediction, and even words like "what" don't appear in it. Nothing at all does. I haven't turned my phone off at all in the past few days, and it's charged.

Trial period has ended, what did you do to remedy this?
I know you mentioned you haven't turned the phone off for a while, but did you try to unselect, then reselect Swype? Do this by long pressing on (almost) any text input box. A popup with a "Input method" as a choice will appear. Select Touch Input. then repeat, but pick Swype this time.
For the latest beta build, you need to do this every time you power-off/restart.
After I switched the keyboards I saw that Trial Period Has Ended thing. Does anyone know how to go about upgrading like it says to do?
Happened here too. I am using xboarder's stock ROM. This just started happening this afternoon.

If you are using swype beta- Uninstall swype, launch the swype installer, follow the instructions.
If using preloaded swype- holding a text box, unselecting swype and reselecting will fix the blue box thing.

Well, I'm not using a beta swype. But it still refuses to come up and let me enter text by swiping the keyboard.

Did you try it from the settings as well? Select the normal keyboard, type something with it, then go back and reselect swype.

I'm also on Xboarder's AOSP Rom, and I tried it from the settings and that didn't work either. But I'm starting to like SwiftKey. It would be nice to find a fix for this though.
Add a new email account to your phone. Go to the swype website. Request to download beta version like you never had it before. They email you a link and a code. Worked for me.

I've tried that. Fails to install. The stock G2 roms are apparently known for that because of how swype is preloaded. (According to the swype forums anyway) Another user has reported that pushing swype (I presume from the stock rom) fixed this for him. Glad I still have that backup.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk
Another user of xboarder's rom pushed Swype from the T-mobile leak and the problem went away. I just did the same thing and now all is well.
I guess Xboarder used a beta release of Swype.

I think its because Swype just released a new beta. I just started having the same issue today (beta version of Swype), and similarly have not powered off or restarted my phone since last using Swype successfully. When trying to unselect/reselect Swype I got the "trial period over" error. So I uninstalled Swype and ran the installer. It gave me a message that a new installer version was available. I installed that, and re-installed Swype, and now I have the new version.

Funny, they must have just made a bunch of updates to the Swype website, because I just visited it yesterday, to try to help the OP with his problem, and all the new posts above the May 6, 2011 post (which is out of sequence) were not there yesterday.
http://swypeinc.com/news.html
One good thing to note, the bug where Swype did not work (and you had to unselect/reselect it) after a phone restart has apparently been fixed (just tested it).
Now, since the OP has Swype cooked into the ROM, I guess he will have to resort to the push method previously mentioned.
i had this issue today as well and jus update to new beta and i have to say i love it! no more annoying pop up mini window for word choice! but i always have my orignal nandroid of stock swype, so i can use SR to restore to orignal swype
Someone else mentioned this on xboarder's ROM thread. What I did to remedy the problem is use titanium back up to uninstall swype from my phone, then downloaded the swype beta from the swype email link i received last week. Works like a charm now.
Virtuous G-Lite 1.0.3 does not have Swype; I tried reinstalling it from a backup, but it just force closes. Is there any way to get Swype back?

Are you with T-mobile? If you are, let RMK know and he will modify the installer to include swype. This is because it is only T-mobile that holds a license to bundle swype.

Yeah, I would, except I am not permitted to speak to another developer in this elite club. Apparently intelligence is measured in post numbers, ergo, I am an idiot. Too bad, the only reason I joined XDA was to participate in the development forums.

Swype:
I had issues at first with Swype but was able to go to the official Swype homepage and download the Swype Installer app (swypeinstaller.apk) which in turn allowed me to install Swype itself. I strongly encourage those of you living without Swype to go snag your free copy today. The following is the process from cradle to grave:
1) Go to beta(dot)swype(dot)com
2) Register with Swype Website
3a) Register with Swype Beta
3b) Retrieve swype beta activation key from email
4) Run swypeinstaller.apk
5) Download/Install Swype via Swype-Installer
Note: if you have problems with swype force closing (like I did when I first installed) just uninstall Swype (do not uninstall swypeinstaller), reboot, and re-do Step 4 then 5. Voila, G-Lite with flawless Swype.
If this helped you, give me a 'thanks'
I strongly encourage those of you living without Swype to go snag your free copy today.

Because sometimes you have to text with one hand...
I won't get into details.
Never mind. Lazy search skills at work. Coffee made me search properly.
I had the same issue. I removed the Swype that came with the rom and then installed Swype Beta.
Yeah, I took care of it that way. Took me a minute to search for it. Hooray for coffee making me remember things.
I've just got the regular Swype. I guess it's time to search for Beta. I remember a thread with it floating around somewhere.
I'm having a problem with swype too. How do you remove the swype that came with the rom? I can't seem to figure that out.
To remove/install beta, you need to be rooted (not an issue here). you must also have another keyboard (Samsung keyboard is usually there) I use titanium backup to uninstall it, but I've heard other apps can handle it.
As for installing beta. You go to their website and register for the beta, and they give you instructions on how to install it. Qbking77 has a video on the process somewhere. I'd link, but i'm mobile. Hope this helps
