I just bought it, waiting for the download link :D.

Tried the demo (4.1.0.3) and it's really great!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] filou75:
hmmm swype 3.9 runs fine on my HD2 :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] polstein:
100% agreed with you. I have Swype pre-installed on the Tmobile USA - so I can do comparisons, and it's not even close. SlideIT is quicker, cleaner, more accurate, handles other languages - and uses a much smaller memory footprint.

I'll probably play with Swype some more to be fair, but at the moment SlideIT is much superior.

(I also own Shapewriter, which is a distant 3rd right now)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Demo of SlideIT available to all:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
Recieved my working purchased version of SlideIT yesterday, works perfectly :). However comparing it to Swype 3.9 I have to say you can make mistakes with Swype easier. It gets the correct word better. SlideIT also doesn't have an edit feature. Make a mistake, and you have to delete the word and then re enter correctly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
You mean, you can make mistakes with SlideIT easier?

The other problem is that the symbols, question marks, etc... are not directly on the keyboard (like Swype). You have to switch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Really? Ill have to give SlideIT another go. I tried it for a few hours and found it a distant 2nd compared to Swype. Typing the same sentences Swype was alot more accurate and predicted the word alot easier. Symbols also easier to enter. Many like you say SlideIT is faster so ill have to give it another go lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] shu8i:
is it normal that i'm not able to use the demo after a restart anymore?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
Yeah SlideIT is more mistake sensitive but it's really a great product once you get used to the accuracy it works perfect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] muccamucca:
In my opinion SlideIT is really superior in comparison with Swipe.

I received from Dasur 4.1.0.2 pre release.

In the official site there's 4.1.0.3 demo.

I've bought the 3.1.2.1 version.

Is the upgrade for free ?

How to upgrade?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
Haven't tested SWYPE but SlideIt demo with Greek pack, is not that great.

English texting is ok (read: ok, not super), but Greek makes quite a few errors (I even found at least one word -and quite common one- that is impossible to type).

It's also not a perfect solution for using the finger (and not a stylus).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] polstein:
I put that in as a request a while back - recently (memory serving) I was told it's current being worked on. So I think it's in the plans, but dunno how long it will take to come out.

Would be a best of both worlds, since I do like that feature on Swype. Oddly my problem with it on Swype is you have to hold a key down waaaay too long (FingerKeyboard 2.1 is much better at it).. and I thought you were supposed to be able to drag a key to the spacebar to get the punctuation which I can't get to work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
The updates are free, you should recieve them in your e-mail, e-mail the support or something like that for the latest version. They informed me the updates are free. So you should recieve them for free per e-mail.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] muccamucca:
Thanks for fast answer.

Do you already received the new final release?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
Yes I've recieved version 4.1.0.3.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] muccamucca:
Thanks ... I'll patiently wait :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
You could try sending an e-mail that your having problems with your version and they'll send the latest =)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Ok, I tested SlideIT again and gave it another chance....

But seriously I find Swype 3.9 far better, even if SlideIT is a bit faster.

Still don't like the interface of SlideIT, with all the symbols, accents missing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
True but the new skin isn't that bad and I prefer using SlideIt because of the Dutch language support.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] polstein:
Something I've noticed for both keyboard (being very new to capacitive screens) - use a very light touch, and oddly going faster seems to help. The slower I go, the lower match rate I seem to be having.

(for both Swype & SlideIT)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] abmantis:
Swype seems more acurate that SlideIT but is unstable and does not have Portuguese support...

But SlideIT is also very very good!

A problem (with both swype and slideIT I think) is that the selection in the HTC Messaging application is not working with the keyboard...

If you select something both swype and slideIT don't detect it as being selected (you can't add or remove the selected word to/from the keyboard dictionary for example).

I've posted about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652783

update slide it

Well i did send a email do dasur that i did read the new version was there..

they send it me at once.. and its working great.. do bugs anymore on my HD2 when turned into landscape mode. Also the choice of slide it and ABC modus on the homescreen is an improvement.

dasur did a great job!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] muccamucca:
Me too ... I followed BlazinAsian suggestion and Dasur sent me the new version.

It works great for me.

Italian language is more accurate than in Swype.

One months ago I was upset for buying a SlideIt version with big bugs on my HD2.... now I very satisfied

Thanks Dasur I'll give any feedback next days
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donalgodon:
Just a tip to improve Swype 3.9:

Set the slider in Options to the right as far as it can go to make it "More error tolerant" and you won't notice any speed decrease (at least I don't). The HD2's processor is more than powerful enough to handle it.

When using long press for secondary keys, try to press the top of the key area and hold as still as possible to avoid the software registering the slight movement as a repeated or adjacent letter, etc.

Iv'e implemented these small techniques, and my practical usability of Swype has increased substantially.

Hope it helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
I purchased the slide it keyboard, however it makes my phone hang sometimes so I have to soft reset it with the little orange button under the battery cover. Bought it today, already hang twice. So I'm a bit dissapointed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] polstein:
Which version are you using, Halle?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ivo34:
I cant write any word correct with this app:mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jkolner:
Have you installed the Swedish language file and selected it afterwards?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Scum Of The Earth:
sorry, please delete.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ivo34:
no:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Thraka:
Someone showed me this type of typing and I think it's real cool. Do any of the ones listed here integrate with the existing keyboard on the HD2? I LOVE the HD2 keyboard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
they dont integrate as they are replacement keyboads. its either one or the other you choose.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mithrandir007:
Well, the version of Swype on HD2 is somewhat integrated : if I click on the right side of the small keyboard icon at the bottom, I can chose between Full Qwerty, Compact Qwerty,... and also Swype.

So it's pretty easy to change from one to the other, takes about 2 seconds to load the new keyboard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
True, you can do this with any keyboard, touchpal, slideit etc. The person i was responding too gave me the impression they wanted to know if swype integrated with the standard keyboard which it doesnt. I meant that you cant use both keyboards at the same time, you can alternate but they are 2 entirely different keyboards. The standard one has different layouts for sure but its not swype if you know what i mean.

question about SlideIt

Hi, after the positive stories here about SlideIt, I downloaded the demo, to try it.

I must get used to this way of typing, but at least one thing is annoying me:

How can i scroll back in the text so I can add another word or character I forgot?

e.g.: 'this is test of SlideIt'

I want to add before test the word 'a ' but using my fingers to position the cursor there is rather difficult. Is there another way?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fards:
there's a arrow set on the last page of the keyboard.

Press 12@ then tap the 1/6 button on the right till you get to page 6

dasur have said they will get teh arrows closer to the main keyboard at some point I think .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
Just noticed that SlideIT interferes somewhat with Opera 10 after have used landscape mode...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] man_rot:
Thanx for the quick response, I didn't look sofar in the different pages, I hope the arrows will come available in a more practical way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 3vilhomer:
where can i download swype??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
Same here :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mithrandir007:
Ah, I didn't know that all keyboards could be integrated that way, I never tried another besides Swype.

Does it also work when installing several keyboards? Can I then switch between any of them easily with the small popup menu?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] metalican:
What version are you using? I had the same problem in vers. 3.1.x but it seems to be fixed in vers. 4.1.x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Yep thats exactly how it works. You may need to go to start/menu/personal/input to access some of the settings depending on what keyboard it is but to simply change between keyboards you use the small popup menu / arrow as you have said.

When you have several keyboards it generally puts them in a folder "other input methods" but you'll see an arrow so you click on it to choose.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beppegg:
I've tried both Swype and SlideIT too, and ended buying the second one for its uber support to Italian language. Further, I find "Graffiti" and Symbol modes very useful indeed!

The pricing is very reasonable and very worth software value!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I have tried all of them now and still prefer the original Swype, and not just because it's free. SlideIT just seems too finicky to me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] yelitterulez:
Well...I take that back. The new SlideIT 4.1 is much better for our HD2 IMHO, and uses less storage space as well compared to Swype.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DN41:
hey there.

i'm really interested in having a sliding keyboard.

can you tell me which sw has got a german dictionary and works perfect on hd2?

your help would be appreciated.

DN41
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mithrandir007:
Nice, thanks for the info!

That's actually what's been keeping me from trying out other keyboards.. I thought it would replace the default one or at least require going to the WM input options page to change keyboard ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KukurikU:
slideit is for you. try it. it supports german language.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] d3l1:
I can second that! Got SlideIt 4.1 running with german and english dictoniaries and it works like a charm. You have to add some words, of course, but that's no problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alex fung:
I have downloaded SlideIT but haven't yet tried it. Don't you find 6 pages of symbol very unusable? The 2-page symbol in HTC Touch and Swype is already driving me mad (but fortunately in Swype you can tap and hold to access the symbols without switching pages).

One good thing about ShapeWriter is that there is one single page for symbols.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
You definitely hit the nail on the head with that one. Both are great for many different reasons but one battle Swype wont win is the "savning memory space" category. Espeically if you install a skin as well, definitely consumes alot for a keyboard. Pity doesnt work properly when installed on a card vs phone mem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Yep thats the good thing, you can practically have as many keyboards as your memory permits, just consumes storage space thats all.

You definitely wouldnt want to lose your original keyboard which always seems to work better for password entries and some internet uses etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dingolino:
This is what I am missing too! To improve the mixed input between sliding and typing. This is what looks better in Swype.

And the cursor arrows and a button to mark text and than cut, copy and past like other keyboards (Toucpal, Swype) have for touch devices - makes the precise control much more easy.

And a button on the 1st page to change the language from german to english and vice versa and not on the 2nd page, becaue I have to switch freaquently.

Best regards,

dingolino
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mithrandir007:
Indeed, typing passwords and internet addresses with Swype is a good way to lose patience :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
I use the same version as you. Also, it still freezes my phone sometimes. 1.66 stock swedish rom..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kudepi:
I installed slideIT two days ago with the italian dictionary. So far I am very pleased with it, it works very well, much beyond my expectations. No bug or problem so far... I have an european HD2, with ROM 1.66 and radio 2.06.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Is anyone else unable to get offline correction to work in SlideIT in HTC Messaging? It works fine in Windows mobile apps that allow word selection (eg Notes). This is very annoying as the vast majority of my keyboard use it composing texts and if a mistake is made on a word and it is only noticed after the text is complete, the word has to be re-entered.

Swype gets around this issue by allowing you to put the curser anywhere on a word then allowing you to correct it with the Swype button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] y8y8y8y:
I have the same problem on Hd2 with english Wwe 1.66

I have auto completion issue as well at the same places.

Slideit ver 4.1.0.3
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I have gone back to Swype as a result of the issue a few posts up. Basically, when using HTC Messagins (which most people with a HD2 do), unless you write your message perfect the first time, you have to go back and replace words instead of merely correcting them. Annoying to say the least and it has certainly stopped me from buying it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] abmantis:
I also went back to the HD2 standard input keyboard because of that basically.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
I have noticed that since I turned off the "auto save" in SlideIT, the phone has stopped to freeze. It has not freezed for weeks since I turned the suto save option off. Only problem is, you will have to save manually
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I have sent an email to Dasur asking if this will be resolved at some point.

Inserting unsupported lexicons to ShapeWriter? (How do I...)

I'm in a bit of a conundrum. Don't have the technical skills, though I know it should work.... I'm looking for advice (or a readymade file) for adding a language to ShapeWriter. Finnish lexicon should be simple enough to insert, say, into the Swedish Support apk, but I don't know how to do that, nor do I have the support pack as a file :(.

And yes, I can always opt for SlideIT (which I use), but I just like the spacious layout of ShapeWriter much more....

So, how do I.... (and thanks in advance :))

I installed Slideit demo in my Rhodium T-mobile, and noticed that when answering a call and putting the phone to my ear the screen turns ignoring the slide to hungup button, or when a call is coming in it would tend to turn the screen if you turn the phone making it imposible to take the call with the soft button, so I just unistalled it and everiting went back to normal.

Hi, I'm using the croatian language in SlideIT.

Is there any way to edit the Dasur SlideIT dictionary using an editor? I would like to remove (edit) the croatian special characters like čćžšđ becouse they enable the sms unicode option and I'm able to send only 70 character in one message instead of the 160.

PS: I found the "cro.dat" in C:\system\SlideIT\Langs\. I'm guessing that it contains the dictionary, but I can't open it with any editors that I have installed on my PC.

HTC HD2 Swype Contacts problem

Has anyone got swype to work with the Contacts search bar or the "To:" search bit for tel numbers?

Really annoying having to change keyboards to enter a number nearly eats away all the advantage of speedy txting.

(only work around is to make sure your always txt from previous sent/recieved txt rather than from contacts book if you have a txt to that person there. Not a gr8 solution)

Swype is definately one of the greatest improvements for the HD2.

The standard HD2 keyboard sucks hard.

Swype lets me type one handed while walking nuff said. People either go wow or huh?

The people who go huh don't seem to understand or b able to use it and as it is so simple they are obviously to stoopid to be using a smart phone anyway as the loss in brain capacity from working out what to do with it would probably stop them from remembering how to breath. I am not sure if that is a bad thing maybe the death of part of the population would increase the oxygen level in the world and allow "us" to thrive. Who knows?

Anything else

Tried it as well on a dutch hd2

I installed it on the Storage Card,

It installed in \Programmabestanden\Swype

So I created a directory called \Program Files

and copied the Swype directory to it.

Copied the swype directory to the \Programmabestanden on the

phone rom as well, and created a \Program Files there.

So Swype is actually 4 times on my phone.

Did a soft reset.

But then? Still getting the original virtual keyboard everywhere. Anything else I need to do?

>>Found the place to change the IM setting, Can either select Touchinput or Swype, when I select Swype, save it and open it again, it is

>>still set to Touchinput

yeah, go to (all) Settings, Input, select "Swype" as Input method, then click 'Options'.

Set the 'display trace' to full left (off) and soft reset. That should switch the sliding input off completely

You only can change the input method when using a KB for instance in Word Mobile. Whenever you are in Word Mobile/messaging/mail, etc, you'll see a KB icon dowb your screen in the middel. Pressing the icon not only shows you the native KB, but also a liitle arrrow right next to the KB icon. Press this arrow and you will h=get the choice to change the KB in, FI, compact qwerty, phonepad and/or Swype. Press Swype and this will become your iinput for this session.
