I’m still having annoying issues with Swype on my Incredible. Whatever bug fixes are in this new release need further testing. I’m so tired of having to change input modes a few times a day to keep Swype working. I’m now getting a message saying my ‘…Swype package is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality…’ I’ve jumped through all the uninstall-re-install hoops and am ready for a Swype alternative! (2.29.71.20203.t100)

This forum was perfect. I just ran through the steps listed and I am now running the Swype I have always dreamed of… except for the 13 year old language, but whatever.

Can someone help? I keep trying to install swype and when I login it keeps saying ID mismatch or this acount isn’t registered to install on multiple accounts ? Is it cause I’m rooted ? I swear I installed swype on my rooted OG droid before . But this refurbished droid that I got as a warranty replacement can’t seem to install swype

Yup I did that too. The only (minor) problem is that if you are one of those people that types landscape it doesn’t stretch to fit the screen.

That’s what my instinctful reaction was too – as Swype directed us to do that in previous build. HOWEVER, I tried that to no avail. I had to uninstall swype, and then run the installer to get it to pull the new build. Oh well.

That’s the same as not double tapping and having to back out of the menu – rather just just hitting the Swype key will get you the Swype Word Choice menu – which is what we NOW have to do again on GB.

What I don’t get, or would like to figure out, is how to REMOVE GB’s role in Swype. Afterall, it’s not GB’s keyboard, it’s SWYPE’s — Why is GB stuff popping up in it? It should have only swype codes, actions, etc… it’s like GB has some sorta Nazi control over the phone and has a hand in everything!!! OH NOEZ! WE GAVE THEM TOO MUCH POWER! THE MACHINES ARE TAKING OVER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I kid.

I agree, this is just unreal. I dont care if it is full or beta, Swype for the DX is a joke. The original beta on my Eris was better than this. I am hoping that rooting will fix this? Anyone know?

If you’re rooted you can disable the preloaded swype and run swype beta. I did it for the droid x…google swype beta on droid x and the first result should contain instructions from the swype forum
