ok so i tried to search on android market i cant find swype

and if i am understanding this correctly only the beta version of swype has been released for android phones, and now the sign up for that has been closed. so essentially, there's no way for me to get swype as of now?

I'm with you 100% the only downside (and it's a small, small one) is that after a few too many drinks at the local, the keyboard swaps from QWERTY to the multi-tap keyboard made famous by RIM - honestly, who uses that keyboard? It's only a tad annoying, but I'm a massive Smart Keyboard Pro fanboy!

I even donated .99EUR for the developers troubles =P

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
If you do a search on this forum for Swype you'll find a thread within the X10 forum that will take you to a site that you can download it from..

There's also another option which is SlideIT - works in the same way.. I've used both and my summary of them is..

Swype is by far the better LOOKING option..

SlideIT is MUCH easier to use and more accurate - This one you can get a 30 day trial for off the market.. and then you can buy the full version if you like it.

I used them both for a couple of weeks each to make sure that I'd had chance to get used to them..

I'm now using SlideIT, despite it's less attractive skin.

I highly recommend the swype keyboard. If it were a publicly traded company I would buy stock in it. That is how much I believe in the product.

For those who are having problems with screen resolution conflicts in landscape mode, make sure you are using the droid apk because it is the only one that supports the 854x480 screen the X10 has. Do a search in the X10 section only to locate it because it's not available on the developer website or the marketplace.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FettsVett:
Hello, I've been looking around a bit, searched Q&A as well as general, did a Google search, and I haven't found a definitive answer on this subject, here goes:

I've seen that 800x480 is mentioned the optimal resolution for video on the Nexus, is this correct?

Does the Nexus one support PAL/NTSC/Film? What is the highest frame rate supported?

What is the highest bit-rate supported on the hardware? I doubt that I'll need to encode it that high, but it would be good to know the ceiling.

Does the Nexus one support both ABR and VBR for the AAC audio stream?

That's it for questions, as an aside, if you're on Linux like me; I would highly suggest h264enc. It's extremely easy to use, and offers a lot of powerful features in an interactive shell interface.

[Droid Incredible General] igl007:
Basically, the phone screen is unresponsive when your not holding it or any time it's not grounded. If I put it in the car holder and then touch the screen, its very sporadic. I have compared it with the droid eris and the Moto Droid under the same conditions at the same time, and it performs flawlessly. I have tried the incredible with the screen protector and without. If I take it out of the dock and hold the phone in my hand, it works great again. It's not just the car dock either. If I set it on certain surfaces and just touch it with one finger it does the same thing.

The car dock itself has nothing to do with it. I've narrowed it down to a grounding issue. I've also tested 3 Incredibles and ALL of them do it. I am going to post another video showing it on top of a piece of styrofoam which also creates the problem. It's definitely more widespread then just a few phones. Basically, If the phone has very little ground it is unresponsive. If you ground it, either by holding it or placing it on a surface that is grounded then it solves the problem. If you plug anything into it that is grounded it solves the problem.

Here is a new video on different surfaces. It's not a car dock issue. If it is some static issue as some are saying, it works great on a eris, or a moto droid so it's not capacitive screen in general.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL6sLW7Ll0E

The Car Dock one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsKc1_wG0zg

My goal for this thread, (now that I see it is happening to a lot of phones) is too get enough info out there so that other people can effectively recreate this problem on their phones. With enough people, I am hoping HTC or Verizon can offer a fix not just a work around.

UPDATE 5-17-10

I received 2 replacement Incredibles from Verizon. Both phones respond in the same way as the original. I called verizon, and they said "they are compiling a list of problems to send to HTC and they will add this one to the list". Hopefully the rep that I spoke with wasn't just trying to shut me up. I don't know... Anyway, Here is the last video I am going to do on the topic. In this I wanted to clearly show the following:

- It is not a "Capacitive" screen issue in general (MOTO Droid, and Eris are fine)

- It is a MASS DEFECT of this phone. (I am not saying ALL phones)

I am going to forward this message and the video to HTC. I will post the response. Here is the link to the new video.

[Droid Incredible General] hoop762:
not the same as yours but i have a similar issue. i ordered a few usb wall plugs from monoprice. whenever i use one of the usb wall plugs to charge, the touch screen is unresponsive. The volume rocker and power buttons, but the screen and bottom row of buttons dont work. Using the factory usb wall plugs everything works fine.
[Droid Incredible General] aol8mydog:
I've never had a capacitive touchscreen phone, so I don't know for sure; but maybe it has something to do with the relative capacitance. When you have one hand on the back and then touch the screen, maybe it senses a greater variance in the capacitance. If it's on the table or in your car cradle, maybe the variance in capacitance isn't great enough to register a touch. I'm not familiar with Android either, but maybe you can adjust the sensitivity? Just like those touch lamps, capacitive sensors are triggered by a relative change in capacitance and if it's not greater than the preset threshold, it doesn't register that you touched it.

Just an idea... again, I'm not really sure. I'm only lurking around in these forums because I have an Incredible on order. I'm just throwing some odd ideas out there. Good luck!
[Droid Incredible General] mcwoods:
It is the type of charger/how you are using it! I had this issue. I could plug in via the provided charger and it would work. But I went on a trip and hadn't purchased a car charger yet so I grabbed my laptop ac/dc converter and plugged in the provided charger through it and my phone became unresponsive. If I plug it in the wall presto it works. The new car charger works as well!

I am sure it has something to do with the voltage being released through the charger.

I'm also having the same issue and I am using the Verizon OEM Holster Mount Combo (Perfect fit for Incredible, no power).

I'll post over at PPCGeeks, and AndroidForums to see if we can find a fix.

[Droid Incredible General] raydm:
You have to use original charger ... it has voltage regulator and earth pin on the other end ... static should not travel on the screen otherwise it will do the same ..
[Droid Incredible General] jakewill:
Workarounds

I did find out that it is pretty easy to do the following:

1. Plug in either the charger or headphone jack. Either of those seems to ground it out enough... I also tried just clipping the headphone jack (metal part) into the clip part of the belt clip, and that worked, so there just needs to be SOMETHING else attached to the phone or mount that gives it more of a ground.

2. Just hold the sides (or just one side) with your thumb and ring finger while navigating with your index finger. That seems to do the trick.

Hope it helps.

[Droid Incredible General] syntrix:
I'm not seeing this issue, but this can't be the real dock for the incr... which one are you using?

Capacitive screens become less responsive in the cold.... if it's in front of an A/C vent with it blaring, that could be the root cause.

[Droid Incredible General] bpaskie:
Same issues plus some new ones

I seem to have the same issues that were reported in the youtube videos because I have a similar car dock. I am also having the same issues as hoop762 as I also purchased the wall charger from monoprice. When I have it plugged in the touch screen does not work, the OEM charger works perfect. I also purchased the car charger from monoprice but that does not cause the same issues.

I have had another similar issue when I have it plugged into my car stereo via the audio jack and a male to male 3.5 cable. When it is plugged in and I try to listen to music withe the stock audio player it starts fast forwarding and skipping songs. If I pause the music then start it again it sometimes plays for a while but will then act a fool again. I had the same issue using pandora when it skipped songs until it I ran out of skips but i have not seen the issue in other programs. I have had this issue in and out of the car dock. I will add a video later if I can.
[Droid Incredible General] Hooya:
I replied to one of your videos (as tjowatonna)

"I have never noticed this issue on my Incredible and I just tested on a variety of surfaces using the Etherial Dialpad app (it's neat, check it out if you're a music nerd) to test and had no issues regardless of if it was placed on glass, plastic, cardboard, pillows. I didn't have any styrofoam to test."

Have you had anyone else try these tests on your phone? I'm just wondering if it's not something about your body that it doesn't like as much or that it likes more for people like me that can't reproduce this.
[Droid Incredible General] syntrix:
Again, there is no car dock specifically for the DI yet.

It looks like the edges of that generic dock have a big foamy area that might be very close to the screen.

It also looks like the phone/dock is touching the dash in the video.

I put mine on an anti-static bag on my workstation and tried to only use a finger. Everything worked just fine. I know you said you tried other areas with the same result. Do you have a screen protector on?

I'm just scratching my head here.
[Droid Incredible General] askwhy:
I can confirm this issue on my Incredible as well. For what it's worth, I have a Zagg shield on the screen, and I did *not* peel it off for testing.

In *any* situation where the phone is completely isolated from ground it seems to happen. I can reproduce the symptoms by setting the phone on a huge variety of surfaces or by placing it in my (plastic) car mount, and then trying to use it with just a single finger.

As has already been posted, touching the phone body even lightly with an additional finger while it is in this state (even one from same hand) will allow full responsiveness, as will any other sort of ground such as many cable connections. Also, the silicone case from Verizon can be installed or removed, and there is no difference either way.

I also just booted my old Hero (also has Zagg shield) to check its behavior and was unable to reproduce this, even with it sitting on a double folded rubber mat on top of a big pillow. It is 100% reproducible on my Incredible though.

So be it.

EDIT: In addition to the role that grounding clearly plays, static might be a factor too (as others have mentioned).
[Droid Incredible General] theoneownz:
I tried my hardest to reproduce this affect and i was unable to. I have a new zagg screen protector i have not yet put on. I will add it and re-test again and post my results

** Update

I added on the Zagg Screen Protector and tested it again. I lost some responsiveness in general nothing still like has been demonstrated.
[Droid Incredible General] igl007:
Thanks for testing your phone and also trying it against another capacitive screen phone.

I talked to Verizon and they are sending 2 new Incredibles as both my phone and my wife's phone have the problem. I will report my results on tuesday...
[Droid Incredible General] aol8mydog:
Now that I have my Incredible, I have the same issues. Fortunately, I don't use it in a car-dock very often but I do plan on occasionally using it that way. If Verizon or HTC doesn't come out with a fix, I may just see if I could find a soft rubber-like material that also conducts electricity to make a grounding pad with a wire connected to the vehicle's ground on the cradle/dock so the phone's back can make contact when docked.
[Droid Incredible General] igl007:
Update in first post...
[Droid Incredible General] the tree:
I ordered my device on launch day, and this thing has had none of the issues you have shown, I even put it on styrofoam just to try it all out, works flawlessly.

sorry for your bad luck.
[Droid Incredible General] Xxq TZ pxX:
I'm having this issue too. When I lift, I use the timer function to time my rest time in-between sets. I lay my incredible on the top of my couch, which is very soft. When the timer runs out and it's beeping, I can't hit the dismiss button without picking up the phone.

So I would say that this has absolutely nothing to do with a car dock since I'm reproducing it on my couch. To the users who say this isn't happening: try taking a blanket, scrunch it up into a ball, lay your phone on top, and see if you can reproduce it then.
[Droid Incredible General] junjlo:
Not sure what is going on with this but i cant get my phone to behave like the video its always responsive maybe just lucked out
[Droid Incredible General] giantcrazy:
I just RMA'd my wife's DI because her touchscreen has been nonresponsive, but not while in a car dock or plugged in, just at random intervals. Now I'm wondering whether the silicone case we bought her from Verizon has anything to do with it. Seemed odd to me that the screen would stop responding to touch but everything else worked just fine.
[Droid Incredible General] rdriese:
I have tried and tried to duplicate this issue and cannot. I have the car dock from Verizon and my touch screen works flawlessly with it plugged in to the charger, no charger, nothing touching it or my hand placed on one side. I have placed on styrofoam(only because dude did it but its pretty ridiculous) and still works perfect. My fiance's is the same as well as this other lady that I work with. I dont have an explanation why only some are having this issue only speculations...so i wont say anything other than 3 in Atlanta are confirmed working perfectly.
[Droid Incredible General] rdriese:
we use the silicone cases too...both are fine.
[Droid Incredible General] smokeynerd:
I noticed this same issue too, with 2 phones (one launch @ store, one shipped) it seems to be related to the sensitivity of the screens , they work from 5-15 picofarads which is very small. The rolled up blanket is a good point as if it was synthetic could have a high static potential. and could work for or against you, in my case with the car holder, having a microfiber towel wrapped around the arm of the carrier helped the screen. What I would notice is that it would work ok for a few swipes of the finger but would start to fail slowly before not working at all. Unless of course you touched the back of the phone. plugged into a car charger made it ok, this is of course WITH a screen protector, without the screen protector it seemed to work ok.

I strongly feel its a result of many factors combined in car, out of car, temp/humidity, body conditions, it could be simply whether you are sitting on a leather seat or slid across that microfiber seat. these factors could add or subtract putting you out of range of the capacitive sensors.

while it could be a design defect at this time it seems to strike at random :)

Just my 2 cents.
[Droid Incredible General] junjlo:
ya as i posted before mine doesn't have the issue i cant reproduces it in or out of its case which i have the body glove case for it. So that's one in phoenix that works with no issue!
[Droid Incredible General] smokeynerd:
Does the BodyGlove case have a screen protector... I looked at the dataheet for the Atmel touch controller and it states a glass screen can be something like 3mm thick but a plastic one only 1.5 . makes me think the plastic in a screen protector could affect it signifigantly especially if the glass screen is really thick.
[Droid Incredible General] Reefhunter49:
Did the same as you. Mine works flawless! Sorry guys...
