Swype Gestures

[1022dcsoccer]

Can integration of a swype across the keyboard from the backspace to delete the last word be put in, instead of having to hold backspace to delete last word.

[tipoomaster]

Is there any way to disable swype when the screen is horizontal?

[nanosman94]

when will the be out of public and amiable as an update on our phone

[sasluver505]

O just love swype:)

[soundpaulo]

Returned to Swype with this latest version and I will NEVER go back to a normal touch tap keyboard. It's that good.The new horizontal, tap prediction and gestures features takes it another level.

[point6000x]

Just tried it, it works brilliant!

[leejennings1418]

is there a way to get this for my samsung finesse

[Vasy2310]

excellent !

[shranksy]

+itsduuy thanks for the tip but the defaults option is greyed out so can't reset. Any other help much appreciated :o)

[shranksy]

much better than the last update, thank the Lord!! Can't get the swype+G+M for Google Maps to work either, keep getting "No applications can perform this action"

[itsduuy]

@shranksy go and reset all your application defaluts.

[centran]

@shranksy I am having the same problem

[fooey88]

@itsduuy nope. you don't

[itsduuy]

@fooey88 whant it?

[fooey88]

@itsduuy want what?

[itsduuy]

@fooey88 the black keyboard duhh

[michaelmosesx18]

Lets be honest though, it looks like shit.

[tchnowiz999]

swiftkey is still better, but the gap is closing

[jpgburgess]

@tchnowiz999 nah! But then that's like me saying that Mac's best but the gap is closing. ;) I like Swiftkey a lot but tapping out words is such a foreign feeling once you have Swype in your head.

[SuiJaii]

Perfect, I love it!

[theSGlife]

Cool

[codyh92]

Now, it's Mo' Betta.

[wah118]

Got the update seems more accurate. Loving the word dictionary though.

[FullMetalGlicoz]

wow, cool! And maybe I can buy nexus S...need to try Swype °ç°

[andreten1]

Is it just me or are there no breaks in his swype for that whole sentence? When I try I get a word I've never heard it before. LOL.

[CriticaLKonflict]

9001 viewers? Coincidence? I think not :p.

[seacroftwhite09]

i cant get the swype to google maps working, if i highlight a word, then swype from swype key to GM, it says "no applications can perform this action" but i have google maps installed

[T07N]

swype keeps getting better every day.

[robro]

How do you do an apostrophe for possessive? That one always gets me frustrated on swype!

[anonymousbaby1970]

@robro Took me a while to get this too, but to type, say, "Andrew's", you first swype "Andrew" as a word by itself, then do a second swype from apostrophe-to-s. That will add 's to the end of the previous word.

Also works with e.g. they + 've, we + 'll, and so on.

[jgarnett09]

swype is so accurate it is insane ! i can now rip through sms in a nano second.

[FaithOmitted]

I meant to say input suggestions*

[FaithOmitted]

Get rid of the stupid search suggestions and bring back the old pop-up and I'll upgrade.

[meapleg]

Hmmmm.... I think I might redownload Swype

[Barnesius]

Magical st greedy, frustrating most of the time.

*at best (see wussy I heavy?)

*what, mean

[lamechivanes]

Wow, mad props. Swype rules.

[MrDKdude36]

beast

[AbstractInovations]

This its kinda cool

[Trouserdeagle]

Twitter gesture assumes you have the official Twitter app installed, and not Tweetdeck, Seesmic, etc.. Meh.

[gqgk]

@Trouserdeagle it's in beta though. And this was just added. It's not like it can't be added later.

[Hhunter12]

can someone tell me if i will get this on my droid x?

[xerosoul]

@Hhunter12 Anyone can get it on their phones, just go to Swypeinc.com and sign up for the beta =]

[Hhunter12]

@xerosoul yea but my phone got it pre installed

[s427]

Nice, I like the new shortcuts. One problem though: when using the French layout, the "A" key is moved to the top left, which is also the language key. So when doing "Swype to A", it switches languages instead of selecting all text... :-(

[WildStrikerz]

Finally my long awaited feature to see! easy manageable dictionary woo! No longer will I have random words/gibberish my sis accidentally added in my phone, Select All, Copy, Cut, Paste features I will also love to use instead of press and holding to get it.... Google maps is a nice touch and Twitter I couldn't care for never use it never will but other people will like to do that stuff... Keep up the good work!

[DeadSOLz]

The space bar is still too ruddy small!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Squishymissy]

@DeadSOLz Why do you need the spacebar? I rarely use it. Just start swyping a new word at the end of the last and it automatically puts a new space. The only reason you'd need it is to separate an existing word or adding multiple spaces... both of which are rare, imho

[DeadSOLz]

@Squishymissy Well, I never use the automatically-insert-spacebar feature. I prefer to input it myself. But, after watching this video, I've started using it. It takes a while to get used to, though.

[juanmaper]

@ArthasSama borre todo y funcinó, gracias !

[itsme3592]

SWYPE KEY + FB to update your FACEBOOK STATUS. TRY IT.

[catlynne22]

I too got the "parsing the server" but just kept trying. Eventually, it worked. All is right with the world again!

[Theldonn]

@catlynne22 Doh! After trying it twice I went for a complete re-install. Now I can't connect to the download link on my phone. I'll keep trying. Swype is too good to give up on.

[manmaas]

I thought that video was a shade misleading, I wouldn't be able to swype that fast without errors. Anyone else?

[HarshColby]

@manmaas I can't swype that fast, but my daughter can. It's a skill. She has a lot more practice.

[manmaas]

@HarshColby I need to spend more time at home texting crap! ;-)

[itsme3592]

@AodhanVEVO Among many other things =]

[PlaYboYc3]

Badass

[aravind787]

is it really as fast as they show in the video? i have been using swype from the time i bought my first android and i just upgraded to the newer version.. But its not as fast as they show.. quite a bit of lag till i must say.. But nevertheless best keyboard on Android.. \m/ :)

[manmaas]

Well that was all rather stressful. Up and runnin' and loving the Twitter and Google Maps shortcuts.

[pabcpabc]

Swype G-M works fine but Swype T-W doesn't - where would I send in the feedback?

[itsme3592]

@pabcpabc It works, as long as you have the twitter application installed on your device and are currently signed in. This may seem obvious, but it does work.

[CrowNest]

my mind just got blown again.

[beatknitad]

This is a bucket full of win!

[shinnsan]

Chinese for FWVGA soon please!

[Jeffxallen]

If you want the latest version with all the features shown in the video you have to install the version in the installer that says "pre-release"

[Hamking1]

Highlighting an address, then swyping from SK->G-M gets me this error:

Complete action using

No applications can perform this action.

[ ] Use by default for this action

Any Ideas?

[bdoserror]

@Hamking1 The obvious question would be: do you have Google Maps app installed?

[Hamking1]

@bdoserror Yes, the latest version. Rebooted phone after all updates.

I've posted this in the swype beta bug reports forum here:

forum.swype.com/showthread.php­?4387-Swype-3.25-Google-Maps-G­esture-Fails-to-Launch-Google-­Maps

[matthewcb4]

@Hamking1 Same thing here, and I do have maps installed.

[GregLlwyd]

@AodhanVEVO

Android makes android better than iPhone ;)

[bergy2]

it never lets me update to new versions, just keeps reinstalling v1.1.2

[dtbmjax]

@bergy2 Uninstall the installer. Re-install the installer and then install the app.

[bergy2]

@dtbmjax i do do that, i delete everything possibly swype related on the phone and start from scratch and it goes right back to 1.1.2

[farbonfiber]

@bergy2 the installer is 1.1.2,use installer to install swype which is 3.25 as stated in the video

[rad6474]

Oh man im getting a different error then all of you, mine says there is a problem parsing the package.. man why didnt i read this before i uninstalled.

[hellotosamuel]

swype is the fcking reason i'm alive

[revs123456]

Swype is back

[travisowens]

I'm getting the same bullsh.t as last time there was an update, I remove Swype, run the installer and I get "There is a problem parsing the package". The last time I had to do this, I had to uninstall the installer, and get it again. I'm pretty sure it lost all my custom definitions when I did that too :( :( :(

[rastacre]

it's working now

[carloschw]

Server down...too many acceses to the server, perhaps??

[WierdBMD]

How do you get that black skin on keyboard instead of dull grey?

[ArthasSama]

@WierdBMD I'd like to know too. And the keymap it's kind of diferent (the button for switching languages for example).

[lvalen17]

@WierdBMD I know right... I want mine to look like the one on the video not the same old looking theme

[gqgk]

@WierdBMD It's on the new nexus... I think that's the phone... But its coming in a later beta version for everyone. Eventually leading to full customization.

[dcosmopolitan]

@WierdBMD That Black screen is only for Sprint Nexus S 4G users. But there is a hack available to install Sprint version on your phone. Google it!

[gilvinsets]

@dcosmopolitan you have to have root

[fooey88]

@WierdBMD download leaked nexus s sprint version (it's the sprint skinned one)

[itsduuy]

@WierdBMD message me

[Daninater567]

@WierdBMD I think Swype is releasiing a skins option within the next few days... or at least thats what i heard...

[lvalen17]

its up!... for me atlease

[manmaas]

I couldn't possibly go back to the old keyboard. So, minus point for poor release plan, extra kudos for great software.

[dtbmjax]

MASSIVE FAIL SWYPE! Now I have to learn how to use a regular keyboard. Oh well...glad the autopilot is engaged. HNL is still a few hours away.

[madroid1]

I uninstalled not knowing sure was down....good thing I have titanium backup out I would be pissed. I can't function without swype.

[utjock12]

Maybe this was some test by Swype to make us realize how dependent we are. Thank god I have a physical keyboard on my G2 or I'd be absolutely losing it.

[revs123456]

I unistalled swype hoping that i could get the new version.. but idk why servers are down when they announce a new update... please when will servers b back? I cant go back to regular keyboard... dont leave me hanging

[lvalen17]

too bad i can't download it due to "Site Maintenance"

[manmaas]

I demand an extra swypie thingie (whatever that might be) for the hassle!

[hihaatje]

aah you shouldve been better prepered for the shitloads of downloads ;)

[briers9]

Daaaaaaaammmmm!!! The servers are down and now i'm stuck with the crappy default keyboard. Talk about taking the jam out of my donut!

[aliua6g35]

I like how I uninstalled swype to install the new version... now the servers are down, and I can't reinstall swype. awesome

[LacerdaPT]

<3 Swype 

[manmaas]

Yeah, realised that now! So, I'm currently stuck with original crappy keyboard. Cheers for that! Swype is the bizz mind, just sort out your marketing/PR.

[mikedittsche]

Swype servers are down... not the best idea to send that update email to all users at the same time ;)

[dnyor93]

What if you have swype preinstalled ?

[jeandread]

Swype fucking everything!!!!

[hirsfield]

What about using two languages at the same time?, I'm constantly switching them

[utjock12]

anyone's installer not working? i just lost mah swype trying to upgrade and i'm immediately losing it with the standard keyboard

[manmaas]

@utjock12 Same issue - deleted the installer and keyboard, but still can't access the link.

[utjock12]

@manmaas I got the installer reloaded fine by going to the link in the upgrade email but I get a "There was a data error, likely due to bad network connection. Please try again"

[manmaas]

@utjock12 That's what I was getting so decided to wipe the lot. Now the server is down (sigh).

[totallydubbedHD]

that was sick

[karanbir88]

why dont they just launch on Android Market!!!!!!

[Pickthishacker]

Amazing. Swype is amazing.

[ArthasSama]

Wow, where is that skin for the keyboard? Want it so bad >_<

[juanmaper]

It says "Se ha producido un error al analizar el paquete" when trying to update the swypeinstaller !!! FIX THAT

[ArthasSama]

@juanmaper desinstala todo lo que tengas de swype y bájatelo de nuevo. Así funciona perfectamente.

[utjock12]

@juanmaper yeah I'm having the same error message but in English

[cableguynoe]

@juanmaper

restart phone

[juanmaper]

@cableguynoe

I downloaded the swypesetup again and it work. Thanks

[neilbantoc37]

I hope you have fixed the problem with android 3.2 devices:

in android 3.1 and 3.0, the screen resolution was 1280x800

but for some reason, in 3.2 google made the screen resolution 1280 x 700-ish

i think they excluded the system bar in the computation of the screen resolution in 3.2.

this gives swype the wrong impression that the screen size is not compatible with my Transformer with android 3.2

[briers9]

wow

nice job!

Trying it now :)

[browncash]

omg...... every other keyboard just leave the room

[djake93]

Oh wow! A+++++!

[DasMams]

Awesome



[FakeIdolatry]

oh now that is hot! Can't wait to put it on.

[jannario]

Can't believe!!!! Personal dictionary!!! I've been waiting for this over a year!!! You guys rock!!!!

[PoahAlter]

NAIS!

[michaelkipper]

Doesn't seem like a ground breaking update, but I love it anyway :)
