Latest Swype Beta for Droid Problem

[mrdorunjr]

got that email a few days ago, updated it on saturday night with no issues. well besides for the fact that xScope didnt want to download the whole thing, but i just opened the link in the stock browser and that worked, after that it was smooth sailing...rooted 2.2 wiht 928droid blackglassX

Found this in the Swype beta forum and it worked:

Just an FYI in case it might help someone else. I tried no fewer than ten times yesterday and today to install Swype again after I had to do a reset on my phone. Removed ALL traces of Swype on my phone (using Astro to search), uninstalled it one way/checked that it uninstalled via another way; downloaded the newest install link. Followed the install directions here on Swype's website. NO GOOD....

This is the only thing I did differently this time as opposed to the other 9-10 attempts. I already had UNKNOWN SOURCES (allow install) checked so I had just been trying to install per directions except for that part. THIS LAST TIME, I decided to start with that UNCHECKED, and follow the install directions to the letter. It gives you an option to check that Unknown Sources option as you go thru the instructions. BINGO, this time it worked.

Maybe that's why it worked. It was the only thing I did differently.

Ah, got it working. Apparently that is an issue when the droid runs out of ram while installing swype. I just rebooted, took a few things out of memory and installed with no problem

How did you do this? What things did you remove?

Thanks

I had "keep in memory" checked on for Launcher pro- checked that off. also removed a few widgets and killed (yes i know i know) a few apps that werent needed to free up ram for installing. there is a thread on swype forum (i closed down the window so i dont have it offhand), where they mention to free up ram before installing if you get that error

Given the fact that I have no widgets on my stock Home, maybe the thing would be to go there to do the install.

If you are going to ask for closed.apk's please don't do it across the board, everyone here has access to private messaging

If you keep getting the "already installed" popup, and then limited functionality, un-install both Swype and the installer. Re-run it again from the link. After you login, it downloads and the installer runs, you'll get the popup that has the "Done" button as the only option. DON'T PRESS DONE, but press the back arrow button on the bottom of the screen. It will continue to register the install and you'll be back in business. Some little bug in their installer.

A+ for you buddy, I was getting so frustrated with this until I followed your post and I'm experiencing Swype glory once again, I'm so spoiled with Swype I don't even want to write a text without it...Thanks for figuring that out!!

Anyone want to share their beta info over PM so I can get Swype back?:wink:

I hear ya on that. When I get to update my D1 I am going to make sure that my next phone comes preinstalled with SWYPE. I just wished the SWYPE creators would just put it on the market and for a decent price. I'd buy it in a :heart: beat.

I bet if you "Edited by Mod" -Please keep this information off of the Forum-

Well, I have tried everything in this thread thus far and I still get the error message of Swype already being installed, etc...

I have probably tried 12 times with a couple different browsers. Any other suggestions...I've about had it with this...
