Swype avail for Eris

This is my first post here, just installed swype, but when i swype the words nothing shows up. I installed it fine, what is going on. Thanks.


Figured it out, mine was saying trial ended too so got a different version and its great!

what do you mean you got a different version because i installed it fine and its saying trail ended
 
If you are part of the beta, Swype will send you a notice before your current version expires with instructions on how to install the newest version. If you are not part of the beta and you don't have a phone that came with Swype pre-installed, you aren't supposed to have it.

I would suggest that everyone who wants Swype register for the beta. They do reopen it periodically and they will send you an invitation. In the meantime, there are similar keyboards available.
 
I had one of the "grey market" downloads installed which expired. When the Swype beta open I registered, but didn't install it. A few weeks ago my grey market version expired so I uninstalled it and downloaded the beta.

I am so disappointed with the beta ... I find it so much less accurate, in addition to needing to re-teach it all my words. Has anyone in a similar situation had this experience, or perhaps a more positive experience?

It does take some time for it to learn your habits. And since it expires periodically, I don't think it is ever truly optimized. Wish they would just release it for sale, but they don't seem to want to do that.
 
The latest beta has some problems.

The ' hidden word' dialog pops up way too often. When I type 'for' it always chooses ' fire' and when I correct it I get the ' hidden word' dialog.

Swyping space-backspace to turn off auto word spacing often types space-double quote.

SlideIT is the only one I found that is close to SWYPE. All the others are not even close.

SlideIT has a free demo on the market that you can download.

It is very similar to SWYPE so you won't have any issues learning this.
 
Anybody know the latest version number for the working swype? I'm not asking for a link or anything etc, just the latest version number. Thanks fellas

The version I was able to find and install last week is Swype HVGA 2.4.44. I'm pretty sure It's the newest version.
 
i've been happily using it for a while, but suddenly it doesn't work. i can swype the word, but then the keyboard area just blinks with a blue outline and the word doesn't get entered. any reasons this might happen?

Generally turning Swype off and on fixes that problem.

Make sure Swype is still enabled under Language and Keyboard.
Long press on any input field, select 'input method' choose any keyboard that is NOT Swype.
Then long press > input method > swype.
