Swype avail for Eris

So I scanned the bar code and downloaded it. It was a different way to type, but its really overhyped. I personally like to know what will be typed before it is predicted so its alot of hoping on our part that the program will figure it out.

Granted it works pretty well but I got rid of it. Besides its possible if the dev wanted to track our keystrokes that they probably could
 
all i have to say is thank you. i was confused today when i went to use swype and it wasnt working. i knew there was some way to get it working. btw, i registered just now only to say thank you
 
hey i installed the new version, set it as the default and it is still the original input can any one help?

check that figured it out lol

The one posted above works fine. People are downloading it and don't know how to activate it or select it as their default keyboard. Eghill's instructions above will do the trick.
 
I downloaded the apk from the link provided by sed, and followed all the given directions. However, whenever I try to "swipe" across the Swype keyboard, no text is imputed into the text box. (I can type manually on the keyboard, though) When I first use the app, it says my trial period has ended? Please help, I got a taste and now I want to use this :(
 
Check in the settings...

menu > language and keyboard > touch input > text input > calibration tool

I am having the same problem. I just calibrated and it still won't work. I try to swype but no words show up. When I finish the last letter the entire keyboard area shows a blue outline but no words show up. I'd like to give this a try if I can get it to work.

The only advice I can offer is to calibrate the keyboard again and restart your Eris. I had a little bit of trouble and that cleared it right up for me.

I don't understand. Why would re-calibrating the HTC keyboard affect whether or not your copy of Swype is expired?
