This is actually what I like about swype the most,i hate other keyboards for taking up so many lines with suggestions but I suppose options are key.

I just hate how HTC keyboard is ALWAYS taking up am extra line for this

Hmm.. I like typing in portrait way more than landscape. But then again I got Sense, so I got the Sense keyboard. Don't know about stock.

I would use swype if I was able to have Norwegian letters in my words..

EDIT: YAY! I can use ÆØÅ in the latest beta!
[Android Apps and Games] :
It sucks. Espically because I text A LOT of girls (playa playa =) and it's slow. Yesterday, I was using an expired Beta, and it wasn't working right so I was typing not swyping, and we had a black out so i couldn't charge my phone and I had 1% and I wanted to send this one girl on... last... text. I finish typing, I go to hit send, right before I hit it. Android System /Powering off.
[Android Apps and Games] TheDeadCPU:
Yea. Blame Swype for not having power on your phone..

And Swype is MAD fast if you get used to it.
[Android Apps and Games] ofiveo:
i can type MUCH MUCH faster with skype than with regular keyboard, but not as fast as on my old bb8900
[Android Apps and Games] PatcheZ:
its actually most efficient if you 'fix' all your mistakes at the end, so keep swyping until the end of your message or paragraph, and then fix later.

have you gone thru the tutorial on the phone and on the swype website?

just learned about their 'hopping' method, definitely helps with the 'pot', 'pit', 'put'.

ps. i've been using swype since it came out for winmo, so i'm quite well practiced. i have speed vs. accuracy set to max fast response and word choice window to very close to never.

The backspace isn't working in the Terminal Emulator.
[Android Apps and Games] jmdsdf:
At least ctrl+h works to back space in the terminal, yes, it's a pain but it's better than nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
I'm still practicing with it and whilst I'm starting too agree that it is faster in many scenarios the problem is that for number or password input it is very annoying. Also for in-browser typing such as this Swype is unable to 'tap-to-highlight' words so you have to correct mistakes manually.

I still think the default Froyo keyboard is faster ON THE WHOLE, though for typing non-complex sentences Swype seems to work well once you get used to it. I still don't reckon I'll be sticking with it though
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
If you tap inside the word once and press the Swype key, it highlights the word and gives you the selection box. If you don't agree with any of the suggestions and just want to zap the word, press backspace.
[Android Apps and Games] Dogmann:
Hi all,

At first i didn't like the look of Swype or understand what all the fuss was about but since the Beta was opened up and extended for Android i decided to try it so i could judge it for myself.

All i can say is I'm glad i did and I'm amazed at just how good it is and now totally understand why people rave about it. It's only been about 24hrs now but the more i use it the more i like it.

[Android Apps and Games] miker71:
I was very skeptical of Swype before I used it - now I'd find it hard to be without it (swyping this). what I like about it is that generally it enables me to 'type' faster but moreso that I can swype for longer than I can type on a smartphone soft-keyboard without feeling finger fatigue. for example I'd never type something this long using the stock keyboard but swyping it is a pleasure - almost addictive!

Still waiting on my DINC...

I am a WM user and ActiveSync does sync task. I read the HTC sync does not and I need all my contacts, calendar, task, etc sync

I do not use Google at all so can anyone recommend to me how to sync task or maybe another app I can use...?
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Not your answer but ...

My #1 concern when leaving WM (I really really wanted my next phone to be WM) was outlook sync. I am very happy with the Calendar and Contact sync the Incredible does. I have not tried tasks and can't tell you about that. I use rememberthemilk for tasks; it is an online task manager which will also sync to astrid (free task manager) on your phone.
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
Wow...thx this is good feedback and I agree I do not have my DINC yet but am very concerned about leaving WM in the fact I do not know how my Outlook data will sync over to the new device since I am so use to ActiveSync

So sounds like you are saying installing rememberthemilk with add the function to sync my Outlook task to the DINC device..?
[Droid Incredible General] OnceAMatrixMan:
I switch from WM6.1 to DINC the day it came out. I use Touchdown for Exchange syncing and it works very well (occasionally it loses settings but that is a refresh and a re-sync of 15 minutes). Touchdown is $20, but Android 2.2 will have better Exchange capabilities I understand.
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
I don't use Tasks so its not that big a deal to me but everything else works flawlessly. Here is a link to the new Exchange features:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html#UserFeatures
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
Sounds interesting....how does this help when I use copy email Outlook which is on Exchange and then I use personal email on my home Outlook...the WM creates separate mailboxes for Exchange mail and the other personal mail??
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Syncing tasks is a big deal to me too. So far I've found only one way to do it well with my desktop Outlook and my DI. On the Incredible I use an app called Got to Do. It is nothing but a task/to do list. BUT, it does sync with a web-based app called Toodledo, which has a feature that syncs with Outlook.

So my Outlook tasks automatically sync with Toodledo, which automatically syncs with the app on my DI.

So far it's working okay but if someone were to develop a stand alone desktop app that syncs with an android app, I'd sure take s hard look at it.
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
Good info...thx

I have all my contacts loaded on my account on my company's exchange server. I sync all my email and contacts and calendar through there. I don't do tasks.

Sometimes there are "glitches" that require you to have to mess with it. I had to re-add my account probably twice since 5/1 but its quick and easy to do.
[G1 General] axlastro:
I've had the G1 for about an year and the MENU button began to act strangely.

I have to press it several times or press it around the edges to get it to respond. Does anyone else have the same problem and do you think it can be fixed without changing parts (e.g. cleaning or something else)
[G1 General] likebutta:
Yea mine is like that too. Initially I thought it was SetCPU making response/wake up time slower but all my other buttons wake the phone up quick. I have to press mine on the right side for it to register.

I'll be watching this thread for solutions, if any.
[G1 General] simple007:
Ohh so its not only me who is having this problem, on my black g1 i have to press 2 times menu to activate it. But sometimes in one press its ok, weird... I guess it started to happen after i root and install CM .... i hope i am wrong for my lovely CM rom....
[G1 General] axlastro:
I'm afraid it could be a hardware issue, at least that's what I'm going for at the moment. It's probably the most frequently pressed button so It's probably going to die first. Anyone who has more experience with phone hardware can tell us why buttons fail over time and how they can be foxed. I'm guessing I'll have to buy some spare parts and fix it myself...
[G1 General] axlastro:
I uninstalled cyanogen 5.0.8 and ran an 1.6 rom (non cyanogen) - at first thougt the menu button worked fine, but it get's unresponsive again. So it's a hardware issue.
[G1 General] hudl:
I wanna tell you a little story:

Once upon a time, in my years before my Android mobile, i used a HTC Tornado (WinMo), where a joystick was used for navigation. When time passed by, it began to react strange: i had to wiggle the joystick a little to navigate in some directions or sometimes it was impossible to do it at all without a bit force on it. Many others had the same Problem an the drivers of new versions of WinMo where blamed for it. So all devs made their work on it and tried every setting they could find to get this thing working... but nothing helped...

One day, a guy came and disassembled his Tornado to look at the joystick in hardware. He took a magic spray and sprayed it onto the electronics of the joystick, wiggled it a bit and reassembled his device. After turning on his phone, he found WinMo working like charm again and the joystick reacting like in childhood!!!

Well, why i tell you this story:

I didn't believe it or wasn't willing to take my device apart (like many others) and tried all software drivers the devs built instead. But as nothing helped, in the end i bought this magic spray, disassembled my device, sprayed on the joystick, wiggled it and put all together. And - YES! It was like having a new phone!! :)

From this moment on, i use this spray for everything: my camera's dpad wasn't working too - i sprayed on it, wiggled it a litte bit - and it was working again! My doors everywhere in the house were squeaking - i sprayed on them all, and - guess! they were silent again and opend nearly by themselves!

So -what's this magic spray? It's WD-40 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40)!

I would say, try it! You can't destroy anything (although i am not liable for any damages caused by it's use... ;) ) I think, you don't need to disassemble your phone, just spray a little bit on the corners of the home button, wiggle it a bit, clean it and you're gone (...or disassemble your phone... ;) ).

Hope my experience helps someone!
[G1 General] axlastro:
Thank you. That's what I need - a good practical advice. I will definitely try that.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I recently rooted my Eris and I'm unable to flash a custom recovery because I can't get the USB drivers to update with those found in the SDK files. When I try to update the drivers Windows tells me that I have the most up to date drivers installed. It's because of this I cannot see my phone in the command prompt and can't get the custom recovery to work.

Has anyone tried putting the recovery files on their SD and using a terminal emulator?

Any ideas on updating the USB drivers?

If I flashed a custom Rom (as risky as that is without a recovery) could I then use nandroid or some other recovery? Or would I still need to use SDK?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
download htc sync that should fix ur problem , it did for me
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk842018:
Yes HTC sync updated mine as soon as your phone is acknowledged by HTC sync it should update your usb drivers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
FYI HTC sync did NOT work for me on Windows 7. I had to do some pretty annoying stuff to stop windows from installing the regular drivers automatically. If HTC sync doesn't work I can try to help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00gl3:
If HTC Sync doesn't help, try the following steps.

1. Unplug your Eris from the PC

2. Open Device Manager and delete the Android device

3. Reboot your PC

4. Once in Windows, connect your Eris

5. The drivers should load automatically, if not point it to the SDK drivers folder

Good luck!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Any more ideas

First I tried downloading HTC Sync on my laptop (running Vista) and that didn't do it. Then I deleted the drivers and tried to manually download them back with the ones in the USB folder of SDK and still it wouldn't work.

So I started over and downloaded SDK and Java to my pc (Windows 7) and tried to update the drivers with the ones found in SDK and it wouldn't let me. So I deleted the drivers, unplugged my phone, and plugged it back up. Before I could attempt to direct it to download the intended USB drivers, Windows 7 had already updated with the drivers of it's choice. I can't win for losing.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you don't mind using one of those "Live" Linux CDs, you could install the recovery using fastboot.

No need to install anything on the PC, and no drivers are needed for Linux, no SDK, no Java, no adb; just make sure to run fastboot as root.

The downloads of fastboot and the Amon_RA recovery are small, so they will easily fit in /tmp.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I set it to charge. I was finally able to install the correct driver. I selected a Google driver from the list it gave me (which my computer did not like) then went back and updated the drivers with those found in the tools usb folder of SDK. IT FINALLY LET ME!

Now I have a new problem. I'm using the command prompt and trying to create a custom recovery. I set it to the tools directory in SDK (where the flash and recovery images are) and I'm entering the commands exactly like the "how to" instructions have them. I keep getting "adb: not found" errors.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, in the long run it is probably a good idea to resolve the driver install problems you are having on your PC, because it is very useful to have "adb" around, even if you are already rooted and have the ROM of your choice installed.

But, if you would like to do this, here's an outline below. Note that the point of the "Live" CDs is that you are not installing Linux on your machine, you are just booting it directly from the CD - the OS and hard drive on your PC are untouched.

1) Download an ".iso" file from your favorite Linux distro [ 3 ] for their "live" CD. (BIG download, usually 600+ MB)

2) Burn the .iso file to a CD as a bootable CD. (Most decent CD/DVD burner programs know what an .ISO file is, but might refer to them as a disk image).

3) Boot your PC off it! (You might need to hit a key on your PC right after you power it on to go into a boot menu, or the BIOS setup to change the boot order so your PC will try to boot from the CD/DVD before it tries the hard drive).

4) Copy the fastboot [ 1 ] executable for Linux and the Amon_RA recovery image [ 2 ] to /tmp "somehow" - you could just download it using the Linux browser if your network come up automatically (wired ethernet), or you could put them onto a USB key beforehand, and plug that in after Linux has booted; it should mount automatically.

5) Then, open up a terminal window and become root. (Type either "su" or "sudo /bin/bash" - depends on the Linux distro)

6) Attach your (well-charged) phone to the phone via USB, and power it up in fastboot mode (Send+End simultaneously)

cd /tmp

chmod 755 fastboot

md5sum recovery.img (check file sig)

./fastboot devices (check to see you are connected)

./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Obviously, if you need to look something up on the internet, it is useful to be networked, so you can use a web browser. The Linux boot will try to autoconfigure network interfaces automatically, but this is going to be most straightforward with a wired connection (Ethernet). Alternatively, if you have another PC or laptop nearby, you could use that.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I was able to get my drivers installed and run a nandroid recovery. Then I think I bricked my phone:

I just ran a nandroid backup for my Eris which was at stock 2.1 w/ root. I first partitioned the sd to swap - 3072 MB, ext2 swap 3072 MB, and fat32 - remainder. Realizing this was stupid, I went back and changed the partition to swap - 0, ext2 - 512 MB, fat32 - remainder 7680 MB or 7.5 GB. I moved ext2 to ext3 and booted the phone. All my sd was cleared so I copied everything back on (I saved all sd contents to my computer prior to this). I went back to recovery and flashed Eris Lightning 3.02. Everything went successful and when it rebooted, I saw the droid guys, then the "quietly brilliant", then "Verizon" screens. It then began running the "quietly brilliant" and "verizon" screens over and over. I pulled the battery and powered up again but it's still running those two screens over and over. I booted into recovery and attached my phone to the computer. I opened command prompt, entered " sd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and then entered "adb devices". It reads "List of devices attached" but there are none. I attempted to add the driver back to my device but when I go to device manager and click "update driver" and point it to the tools directory in SDK, it says that "Windows could not find driver software for your device".

If I can't communicate with my phone via usb and it wont boot, how can I get it to recover?

Any suggestions would help, I'm scratching my head here. I really don't want to have to buy another phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
First, relax and take a deep breath; everything's going to be fine.

In the recovery main menu, there is an Item called something like "MS-USB toggle" or something like that. It does not use the adb driver, it uses a standard "Mass Storage Device" USB driver already on the PC. The purpose of this function is to make the SD Card mount on the PC when the Amon_RA recovery is running.

Try that - it should work.

Then, download a conservative ROM such as Ivanmmj's Official 1.0 alpha, or Jcase's "Plain Jane", and copy it to your SD card.

After you have done that, make sure to check the MD5 sum of that .zip file on the SD card. (You should be doing this already).

Then, cleanly dismount the USB drive from the PC with the "Safely Remove Hardware" thingamabob, and toggle "off" the MS-USB toggle on the phone. Return to the main menu, wipe /data, and then flash the "conservative" ROM.

Then boot the conservative ROM just to verify everything is OK.

Next, Backup anything from the SD card that you don't already have (this step might be optional), and boot into recovery, and unpartition your SD card so that the only thing that is there is the VFAT partition.

For the moment, I'll give you some advice: f*ck A2SD. You need to gain some familarity with how the various versions of a2sd work before you start using it..

Very likely you were just stuck in a boot loop created by the re-partitioning you performed after initial configuration of a ROM that uses a2sd. Frankly, it is easy to create conditions for this, especially if you switch between ROMs that use different versions of a2sd, and/or don't understand that certain versions are not correctly backed up with Nandroid at the moment (e.g CLB).

Go in to the start menu of your computer or laptop right click on computer and go down to properties and open it up look to the right and you will see something that says advanced system settings click that and it will open up another window for system properties.. Okay look at the bottom of that small window you will see something that says environmental variables, click that. Now you want to scroll through the system variables and find the one that says "path" you want to change that to you ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and save it.. That is where your adb file or app is in your sdk tools folder, so when you open up a command prompt type in adb devices it may say something about killing daemon starting successful.. Don't worry just type it in again you should get your phones serial number thats when you know your good and you can start talking to your phone.. You can try a simple command like adb reboot and it will reboot your phone.. All else fails and you do this and your phone is responding but you can get anything to run in the command prompt type with 1 space cd then another space and then copy and paste "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" that.. So it will look something like this

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.. That should def do the trick.. Or absolute worst case scenario and you want to make it real easy and not have the fun of doing all the hard but fun work just use the "all in one root script" it will root your phone and it will also install "amon RA recoveryv1.6.2"... Hope this helps you out. LoL I know its long but yo dude I went through the same hell and I finally got everything where I want it!!!!!! Also make sure your HBOOT is under 1.49, if you have 1.49 you cant root... For example 1.46 your good...

How To Reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.

1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC

2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.

3. flash

4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.
