How I was wondering If you guys were able to get into the code *#*#4636#*#* and are able to change the network type. So far I've had no luck and i just force close trying to choose anything besides CDMA Auto PRL.

If so I'm wondering if your able to use EvDO Or WCDMA.

On The G1 I was able to choose freely however only some worked. So I just wanted to know what are some of your experience with these other networks on the evo? And what are the difference between all three/Four if you count GSM.

Also will changing them cost extra in the long run?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skillzo1:
I'm trading my evo in for another, since it has a dead pixel and there is a 30 day warrenty at Radio Shack.

Question is, if i synced my apps on app brain, when i get my new phone, will i just be able to go to app brain and resync all my apps instead of writing all of them down and manually installing them?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engagedtosmile:
It should work. I don't see why not. I haven't tried it myself though.

Ooh, got the email too. Gonna go play with it.

Edit: Ok, the beta swype link does not recognize my phone as an android phone if I'm using Dolphin Browser HD... had to use the stock browser to download the installer.
[Nexus One General] ocblazer949:
Got the email couple of hours ago, and just updated right now. Doesn't seem much has changed. Anyone else know whats new in this version?
[Nexus One General] logger:
Thnks, email Link is just to the installer which needs a Beta username and PW to run so no use for non beta members. But a link to the actual APK via PM would be great. Cheers.

That alone would warrant an upgrade. Text entry in URLs and emails is the reason I gave up on Skype beta. So looks promising.

Can I uninstall the installer after I've upgraded?

I see there is a link to the APK over here if anyone else is after it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6740224&postcount=234

On my N1, I still had to go into Swype settings and tutorial to actually activate it. Straight away I can see the URL stuff is better. So back to using Swype for me. Yee ha...
[Nexus One General] logger:
Sure. You dont need it at all.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Thanks bro...
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
The word recognition is so much faster than the original beta.
[Nexus One General] lchiu7:
I got the email about 4 hours ago (on my N1), downloaded the software and installed it. You have to remove both Swype and the older installer else it fails. I am sure there are tons of underneath the hood improvements, but the one that I saw immediately was when you enter numbers, they show up in the suggestion list in blue.
[Nexus One General] logger:
...and pecking keys is now so much more do-able. ie when you want to enter a non word such as a password. THANK YOU Swype devs for listening and fixing those two major bummers that were there before and are fixed now. Good Stuff.
[Nexus One General] TheMan42:
Actual swiping doesnt work for my N1 on Froyo, all stock - any thoughts? - Only outlines the texting field in blue on the edges and then no text shows up - only allows me to type like normal - this is with the 1.56
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
Thanks for the heads up. I did not receive the email yet but downloaded it anyways. It seems much faster so far. I guess we will see how well they did after a few days of testing.:o
[Nexus One General] armthehomeless:
Thanks heaps!

Hey TheMan,

Swype Beta community relations rep here! Please check out our FAQ for info on this issue: http://beta.swype.com/android/faq/ under the issue for "Registration failed to complete." Those instructions should solve your problem!
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Does anyone know how to swype smileys? According to the change log, there's something about a magic key for smileys... what's that?

So far the only smiley I managed to swype is :-). I have no idea how to add other smileys like :-( etc, since I can't seem to double tap and highlight them to add into dictionary.
[Nexus One General] Lebog:
Upgrade is working well for me so far. One nice thing I noticed immediately is I no longer have to disable/re-enable Swype after I reboot.
[Nexus One General] gunza:
snook

Can anyone confirm if they can tap out the letters "snook" , i.e. not swype them, and let me know if the keyboard crashes/closes/disappears/what-have-you. I noticed this glitch on the last version as well and I have not been able to replicate it with any other words.

Do you know what's the difference? I'm using it now just don't know what's new.
[Nexus One General] Lebog:
Interesting.. I just did a clean install of CM6 last night and reloaded Swype (new installer) today. I just checked my build and it is still back in the 1 series.. Maybe I will try again tomorrow (can't resist new updates, even if I don't know what the changes are :))

[Nexus One General] bentez2003:
The full changelog is as follows:

* Added German and Portuguese languages

* Added the auto-space suppression short-cut gesture: Swype from the spacebar to backspace

* Added the quick language switch short-cut gesture: Swype from the Swype Key to the Q key

* Improved the word prediction algorithm to provide better support for additional languages

* Improved handling of several gesture collisions, including want/wasn't, to/too and others

* The Android IME no longer sometimes hangs/crashes when Swype scrapes the user's address book for dictionary entries

* Tips and help menus now accessible when a password field is active

* Backspace now works in applications which use raw key input instead of an editable text field (e.g. terminal emulator)

* The single character "i" is no longer incorrectly auto-capitalized in non-English languages (reported by many of you!)

* Tons of other minor bug-fixes, including many device-specific issues

Take the link, email it to yourself. Set your browser user agent to android, select enable mobile view if that's an option.

Open the email from sent folder it wait for it too get to inbox, either way, click the link and viola.

Good luck

Erm... a couple weeks ago I downloaded Swype, I wanted it soo badle but missed the beta signup =P.

Version is 1.61.37.8128.t100

It has the auto-space feature and the others posted above, what version are you all running?
[Nexus One General] xguntherc:
I'm on version 2.4.44 the latest but it doesn't have voice. Someone said swype added a voice input button on keyboard. Anyone confirm? The droid2 has it. I want it on my N1
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
No voice on the latest version.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
If you do not have a beta tester account how can you install swype. I downloaded that apk but need email and password.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Someone soon will release a pre-cracked version, prob have to wait until then. That's what's happened with all older versions

I'm a beta tester, but I wish they would just release it to market. I for one would definitely pay for it

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Thanks for that. Just updated via the beta page.

It looks like they updated the keyboard's looks (again). And they added a "Show complete trace" option, which leaves the trace on-screen for the last word Swyped (unless I missed it from a previous version).
[Nexus One General] :
It's sorta been there always, just labeled differently. Before it showed the "correct" trace for the word it used. Now it uses your trace instead.
[Nexus One General] _PeTiT_:
hey mates,

I'm having trouble installing swype 2.4XXXXXX

thats my steps:

- I removed old swype version

- I installed via "swype installer"

ok installation complete.

I enabled swype from "language and keyboard" and the first option "Select language" is disabled. (I supposed it used the default language)

I try writing an sms enabling swype but I received this error:

"The Swype package you installed is configured for another device etc." :confused:

So I uninstalled Swype and Swype installer.

I tried again with a direct apk of same version 2.4XXXX.

but same error.... :mad:

any idea?
[Nexus One General] rori~:
My 2.4 work well, but..

same here...german is included in the eapk but does not work..so swype is useless, as I switch between engl-germ :(
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Seems noticeably faster, mine used to have a lag between the end of the swype and the word coming up. Though i did have some trouble getting it to recognise some long words i was writing, even when i did it very slow and deliberate over the letters, it would still get it wrong.
[Nexus One General] cr0wnest:
You're not alone. From what i know they used a security encryption in the DEX file which checks for the phone identity or something like that. So unless someone finds a way to bypass it, this will probably never work for non-beta testers.
[Nexus One General] _PeTiT_:
ok... but I received the email from swype team! I'm in the beta test... I installed from swype installer too.... (but always same problem... )
[Nexus One General] cr0wnest:
That is strange, at the same time i find it ironic lol. Maybe you can feedback to them saying their installer broke.
[Nexus One General] _PeTiT_:
SOLVED ! ! !

I uninstalled old swype 1.6, I installed swype installer and I installed swype from swype installer.

After swype installation I saw a window called "registering product".

After this swype worked good.

Maybe was an authentication issue ;)
[Nexus One General] Wylker:

[Nexus One General] RiNo808:
Does anyone have a hacked version of the apk?
[Nexus One General] adamhlj:
I think this update is worse. It doesn't recognize half the words i swype, and when the word box pops up, all of the options are usually gibberish!
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Honestly read the tutorial... If you swype from the swype button to the SYM button you get a nifty directional menu and sweet copy and paste options
[Nexus One General] Plattfuss:
Does anyone has the APK for non Beta Tester or could provide an Beta Username and PW?

Would be really great if someone could help!

[Nexus One General] eabinsan:
for anyone who wants to buy it from market - give ultra keyboard a try. it can type and swipe, and has a gazillion of options. i for one like it better than swype.

only downside is that it does not work with CoPilot...but that may very well be copilots fault.
[Nexus One General] amir.808:
If you could do this I'm sure many people would be very thankful :)
[Nexus One General] alyvols:
what about the new android phone owners??

Ya know it would have been really nice if Swype could have given new android owners a chance to sign up. I haven't had my Incredible for long.. first android I've owned. Really wanted to try Swype, so installed it.. and now I am getting that stupid expired message.. I didn't realize how much I really liked this way of typing!! now I feel lost... :(

I REALLY hope someone will upload the new beta version soon.. I'm already having withdrawal symptoms!!!:(
[Nexus One General] daveid:
You are going to have to look in other forums which can't be mentioned here for a beta copy of Swype as distributing it is against the rules here, as per Swype Inc's request.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
I had a play with ultra keyboard, and I must say I'm impressed.

I'm lucky enough to have a beta account for swype, but I'm typing this from ultra keyboard trial. And I may buy it

To all the people without a working swype,I suggest you try it

What I did to get the latest swype apk was go to google and search for swype 1.60, some forums give you links to download them

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
WOW, yeah Ultra Keyboard is downright AMAZING.

Some of my favorite features so far:

Tapping keys while swyping isn't annoying as HELL like it is on Swype.

You can add a full dedicated number row on top of the normal keyboard. (4 arrows keys too if you want.)

There's a toolbar with access to really helpful features such as...

A FRICKEN VOICE KEY. My god finally. Never having access to a voice key without switching keyboards has been one of the most ridiculously frustrating things about Swype (and downright idiotic).

TRUE Multitouch! Hold one key and pressing other keys works great! (Good for fast typers.)

Custom dictionary access, unlike Swype which you can NEVER access or even SEE for that matter (very high on the WTF factor).

Set key height (so you can make the entire keyboard taller or shorter).

More suggestions than Swype (about 12) by pressing a down arrow to view all of them. (Shows 3-4 in a single line at first before pressing the down arrow.)

Zoom in landscape mode. Hold down in the text field and it opens a magnifying glass that moves around so you can very easily position the cursor -- pretty amazing.

Silly feature: Activate camera in the background (transparent screen). (For walking around I guess? Haha.)

Double tap any word to bring the suggestions back up (rather than tapping the Swype button in Swype).

Just tons and tons and tons of customization. It's crazy.

Some negatives:

Swyping doesn't seem as accurate as Swype, especially when trying to do capitalizations.

Bug: Capitalizations very often do not appear correctly in the word suggestion/replacement window. For example, in the word suggestion window it will have "this these thus" and you tap one and it actually comes out as "This" etc. Very annoying since you have to delete the entire word and re-type it in order to get the correct capitalization (or remove capitalization entirely).

Can't swype question mark or period to space like in Swype so it's much slower (especially since you have to long press question mark).

Doesn't vibrate on full word deletion (holding the backspace). This is useful for when deleting a lot of words at once quickly.

The trial is 100% fully unlocked for 24 hours. It's the real deal. I'm going to try it for the next day and see if it's worth the price. Though with all the amazing features that have been frustratingly missing in Swype, I'm definitely already hooked :)
[Nexus One General] bennettm89:
My swype "trial version expired". Not really happy. Granted, it was an illegitimate version that I did not provide or receive via any user on xda. Using slide it keyboard now. It gets the job done as opposed to pecking which is a nightmare everytime I have to do it.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Thanks eabinsan, I'm hooked. I have now given up on swype beta, and I'm on ultra keyboard

Ok.. I'll give it a go.. At least if I like it, I'll be able to purchase it and not worry about getting beta apk updates!

Thanks for the review..
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Multi touch on ultra keyboard doesn't seem to work on my nexus.
[Nexus One General] alyvols:
Alright.. installed it, and so far.. very impressive! I think I may have to purchase this.
[Nexus One General] eabinsan:
i guess that's because the nexus is no real multi-touch device. and its limited dual touch is way to inaccurate to be of any use to a keyboard. it can't even get the button presses right in FIFA 10 (which only has 2 buttons on one side and a d-pad on the other side of the screen).

this might be the biggest flaw of this phone for me (despite battery life of course) .
[Nexus One General] adambenjamin:
I had to switch to Swype 1.61 to get mine back. The newest beta has some internal registration I hear. (There may be something floating around in the Evo Themes and Apps section)
[Nexus One General] osugsxr:
installed the updated swype, one I registered for. Had a few issues where it wasnt working, reverted back to my old "hacked: swype didnt work. Reinstalled the registered version and its working now. If I just do a nandroid restore will I be able to use the "hacked" version?
[Nexus One General] adambenjamin:
If the version is higher than 1.56 it should work. There is 1.61 floating around, 1.71 and newly cracked 2.44. The 1.56 version won't work at all anymore, but maybe some one can correct me on that.
[Nexus One General] thepawn:
I'm in the official swype beta (have 2.4.44 on my phone), but I really miss the mic button... I was running a leaked one earlier with the mic button, can't they just put it into the beta already? It's been on the droid-x for a bit now.
[Nexus One General] Quantumstate:
What's the big deal about swype? I have the VLingo keyboard and it works great with voice.
[Nexus One General] daveid:
For me, the big deal is that I can type almost as fast as on my computer, but on my phone. Also, they are many times where speaking to my phone is not an option. Swype just works, it is very accurate, much more than Ultra Keyboard, the little shortcuts are very useful.

For someone who is a touch typer Swype is very natural and easy to perfect.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsMA:
Hi Everyone

I updated to 2.1 and rooted my phone (htc hero, sprint) yesterday. While I was going through the setup process I was having problems with the syncing of my contacts (going to to people -> groups -> menu ONLY yields the options add group and delete group there is NO sync groups) My phone is syncing all 500 email contacts to my phone which is not what I want. A factory reset will remove my gmail account and allow me to add it again hopefully doing so will bring back the sync groups option (resetting over and over is usually the tactic I have done in the past when I have had problems with contact syncing)

My question is: being that I have rooted my phone what effect will a factory reset have on the now running rooted rom?

If doing a factory reset is not advised any suggestions on what I should do, should I restore the backup I made just after rooting prior to setting up the phone with all the accounts?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerxx2:
In your Backup recovery menu.

Go to wipe and then data should do what you want from the recovery menu without messing with root.

I beleive it is ok to factory reset your phone becouse i beleve it deletes deletes /data.

Or in your settings menu and go to accounts, and then select your gmail account. from here you can un check sync contacts with google. that will keep them from syncing
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsMA:
I currently have the sync contacts unchecked the problem is I actually want to sync my contacts just only certain groups that I have created in gmail.

Yes a factory reset does whipe data I just wasn't sure if it did anything else that is why I thought I would post here first before attempting anything.

Sorry if this is a newb question but how do I get to backup recover menu?

Are these steps correct:

1 plug the phone into the computer via usb port (making sure usb debugging is on & in charging only mode)

2 from the adroid sdk tools directory execute the following commands:

2a adb devices

2b adb shell

2c su

2d reboot recovery

now be in the recovery menu

3 wipe

4 data
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
I find it's easier (So long as your phone has an adequate charge) to Hold the end key until a menu pops up and hit power off. Then hold Home + Power until your recovery loads. Your method should work too but I don't think you have to issue su.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
If I remember what I read a while back about syncing contact info on 2.1 was that they removed that feature in the 2.1 OS.

When upgrading to the latest Cronos and then, Villianrom 10, I've encountered distortion on some audiobooks at higher volumes. I was previously using Kimera 1.8 and everything played fine. At first it was related to wiping everything but SD:ext, however, wiping everything does not solve the issue.

I haven't tried the 'Clean' 2.1 roms. However audio quality on the above roms was impaired in the same way and I therefore suspect it's the new version of the HTC Music Player.
