  • When i download the file, its a zip, so i change the end to .apk?

    Well after i did that, i put that file to my SD card, and couldnt install after i looked for it in my Astro

  • no. you're supposed to extract the .zip file and put the .apk file that's inside it on your SD card.

  • This worked for me

  • Just go to swype.com. Its way easier than this like he said

  • it says trial expired get new copy?

  • btw its not going to be in the market...they dont want to sell that way. they are selling to companies to put on there new devices.

  • @Paintballdrumz how did you uninstall it?

  • I followed all the directions, and I have it installed, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I use swype to text, it shows the path of my finger, but after I lift my finger up, it just beeps, and doesn't type anything. I went through the entire tutorial, and the problem is still not resolved.

  • The swype I downloaded says it doesnt fit my screen

  • @tracefacexd tht happened to me too when i got it, i had to uninstall, gotta wait till it hits the market i guess...

  • When i download it i get a zip file and extract it but it becomes a folder that says .adk at the end, its not a .adk file, any clue?

  • hey does this work on the intercept?
