Swype Beta Has Ended 6/15/2010

[StrandedBrit]

I find it harder to type in landscape mode as I feel like I'm overreaching with my finger. Seems to be decent with portrait though.

Will I have to uninstall my old version to use this one or will it automatically just upgrade or whatever?

Could someone please put it on a site that doesn't require a login? Thanks.

ok.. i installed and have been holding the text input area in an sms stream in portrait for over a minute...I'm not getting a pop up. any ideas?

edit: nevermind, I figured it out- I opened the Languages and Keyboard section, and I needed to check Swype to be available.. in case any other newbie out there couldnt figure it out

What's new / different with this Beta?

 

[Argent]

just tried to update mine and get Application not installed

EDIT: have to uninstall it first before installing the new update - mine works now

 

[rpfarrah]

Do we know what is new in this version?

All you have to do it click on it to install it and it will automatically upgrade it. If you really want you can go into astro or program like it and click the file then upgrade.

I am pretty happy I have a usable version of swype. I have been wanting to try this out forever but I couldn't find a version

Hey I will put a QR code on here but I am not sure how to create one. Every time I look online for creating a QR code they just want you to create it from a URL or of text. I am not sure how to create one from a download. If anyone can inform me thanks.

Delete the older version first then load this one

Can someone post a link to a site where we don't have to register please.

From page 1:

Swype Beta Ported To Incredible - HTC Droid Incredible Forum

no registration needed

And thanks, Argent and Diabl0 for the QR link.

\/\/\/\/ The version you posted works fine for me. I downloaded the 2nd apk listed in that thread.

And thanks, Argent.

I don't think the link I posted points to the newest update from the xda website

For anyone that noticed with the first one that was posted here battery drain issues with Swype enabled (as I did, caused Android System partial wake lock on mine), this newest beta leak that is listed on xda does not have that problem for me any longer. Love Swype, wish they would just sell it as I would be happy to pay for it if only I could.

The link I posted is the new version

Love Swype...very convenient for one handed texting/typing.

I agree - I find myself not bothering to switch to landscape more to type anymore

I have no battery drain issues and have not upgraded to the newer version since this one works fine for me. I am seeing 40-48 hours on the stock battery depending on how I use the phone.


What's different in the new version?
