Swype Android Beta!!

[Flomaster]

Can people post their swype versions? I'm on 1.25.16.5612.t100



Is anyone using 5652 after they turned their phone off and back on and having it work as it should?

I have 5652 and it works.

question is are you rooted? it seemed the problem was happening with rooted droids not sure about stock droids

i had the same issue as many with the 5652 version. i'm now running the 5612 version with no issues.

<<<non rooted.

I am rooted and running 5652 and although I have run into a few issues it is working quite well now, but with all the discussion I have downloaded 5612 and will be ready to install it if I run into issues.

Has anyone asked Swype what the difference is between these two releases?

Sorry, it's been a while for me to use swype. How do you get into the symbols while still in the alphabet screen. For example the letter "S" has the "$" on it. How do you get to the "$" without going to symbols?

The 5652 build is much larger than the 5612. My suspicion is that the former was a debugging version designed for development purposes and was mistakenly distributed. (Been there, done that.)

Long press until the $ appears above the keyboard.

When I had the 5652 version, I would get a notice upon starting my phone that said i was running a Swype version that was for another phone. I couldn't input the letters obj the Swype keyboard until I switched to the stock keyboard, then back to Swype through the input method option. The 5612 version does not have that bug.

i uninstalled swype today. its a great program and i enjoyed using it, it made typing a lot easier, but my battery life has been ridiculous since i installed swype. instead of my battery lasting 2-3 days, it now lasts about +/- 1 day, with virtually no change in usage. the only thing i did was install swype.

How in the heck do you get your battery to last 2-3 days? :icon_eek: I'm assuming you have an extended battery?

nope, no extended battery. i'm not on my phone a lot. work keeps me busy and when i'm home i'm always doing other things. i text a little during the day, go on the internet during my lunch and text a little here and there when i get home. i don't usually charge the phone until it tells me the battery is almost out. i usually get a minimum of 2 days outta one charge and sometimes as long as 3.

Wow lol, I can't not play with my phone for that long lol! more power to you! I wish my battery lasted for that long while heavy usage lol, and I thought my 19 hours with moderate usage was good lol

i just really wanna know what's killing my battery. i really can't think of anything else that it could be other than swype. i haven't changed anything else. my sync and background data is always off, phone is stock (no roms, not rooted, etc)

 

[SSHGuru]

Swype takes so little resources that it doesnt even show up on my battery program as using ANY.

I strongly doubt if Swype is your problem.

Swype is amazing. I find myself using the Swype keyboard more than the slide out keyboard which was originally one of the primary reason is chose the Droid.
