What is Swype?

Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods—at over 40 words per minute. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.

Simply Trace a Path

The word “quick” was generated from tracing the path shown above in a fraction of a second, by roughly aiming to pass through the letters of the word. A key advantage to Swype is that there is no need to be very accurate, enabling very rapid text entry.

Key Features

Over 40 words per minute on touchscreen devices

Standard QWERTY layout

Use a stylus or finger

Ideal for Smartphones and Tablet PCs

Multiple languages available

Supports common editing actions

Patented

SDK available now!

Single Tap Predictive Text for mobile devices

Speed and Accuracy

Swype is faster than existing text entry methods because it has built-in intelligence that does not require users to hit each letter accurately. Also, tracing a smooth, continuous path is much faster than “target-tap-lift-target-tap...”. Even novice users can quickly achieve sustained data entry speeds of over 40 words per minute.

Mass force close

Causes mass force closures on my Desire with OD4.0.

Worked for about 20 seconds at first tho... then forced closed itself, then f/c messaging... so i restarted... on phone startup it f/c for 5 or 6 of my startup apps

damn i want this to work!
[Desire Themes and Apps] bormeth:
ive been using it for 2days now no crash what so ever...
[Desire Themes and Apps] cjm1979:
Going to give it a go now. Had it on my Touch Pro2 a while back. Takes a bit of getting used to if i remember rightly and never really used it due to having a hard keyboard on the TP2.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jiia:
I tried this on my device. Worked fine but it was actually much slower and less accurate to type Finnish than with the regular Scandinavian keyboard. Also the key layout was kinda horrible. Guess it works better with English.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sprinker:
Works brilliantly on my stock HTC Desire, 2.2 FroYo, not Rooted.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
This is newer than the public beta. Nice job! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] bormeth:
Glad you liked it guys :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] TheDeadCPU:
First. No it will not expire. It's the Swype from the Galaxy S phones.

Second. I think Swype have asked us to remove any Swype apks from XDA..

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aesir Rising:
I'm trying to trace through an issue with being unable to connect to my mixed mode A/N Wi-fi band @ 5Ghz.

I need to know if both the chipset in the phone supports 5Ghz N connections and that Android 2.2 supports it (at least as it is implemented with Verizon's OTA 2.2 update).

I can connect, under both 2.1 and 2.2, to the 2.4Ghz B/G band I've setup.

I don't see the SSID (the router is broadcasting) for the N bands. Setting up the connection info manually on the phone just indicates that I'm "out of range".

Troubleshooting this from another angle, if you've got the 2.2 OTA already, and you have successfully connected to a 5Ghz N network (not 2.4Ghz please), that would be good information for me as well. As that would indicate that I've got a problem with my router, or router configuration.

[Nexus One Android Development] kofruge:
I was wondering if anyone has ever considered adding support to Android or Android's music app for replay gain. I've noticed that when playing music on my Nexus One, the volume tends to jump all over the place as I go from song to song due to individual tracks being mastered/encoded at different volumes. It can be quite jarring to go from a quiet track to a loud one and to have to quickly dive for the volume rocker on my phone. :p

I know it's possible to store replay gain values in the metadata of most digital audio files, so I don't think it'd be necessary to do the actual replay gain computations on the phone itself (and, in fact, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to as it could take a loooong time depending on how many music files are stored on your sd card). I think all that would really be necessary is to have the music app read those values for each file and adjust the playback volume accordingly. If I'm not mistaken, this is kind of how the "sound check" feature works in apple's ios.

Only thing is, I really don't know how involved it would be for a skilled developer to make this feature a reality. I suppose it might even involve some kernel modifications. In that case, I realize this idea might be a long shot.

Anyway, it's just an idea I had that I think would make using your Nexus One that much better as a quality portable media player. Feel free to chime in with thoughts/suggestions/reasons why this idea is or isn't feasible/etc.
[Nexus One Android Development] cyberspaced:
If you want QUALITY audio you should start with ripping your CD's to a lossless format and avoid Normalization. You can Gain your audiofiles before putting them on your phone, but I strongly recommend to use Pro software and to be conservative as most recordings today are of a high standard.... (analyze the audio to get max peak level and gain acordingly to not exceed 0dB)

If you prefer to use MP3 or other lossy compression, well theres no point in discussing quality ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] vivanshah:
this would be nice, if all the various music download services offered well and identically authored tracks. unfortunately, they do not. so, the OP's is still an interesting and valid request.
[Nexus One Android Development] kofruge:
Yeah, I definitely agree with you there and I appreciate the suggestions. Only thing is, I really don't buy CDs anymore. I don't pirate music either though. Instead, when I want a song or an album, it's just a lot more convenient to go and buy it online. I have a lot of stuff I bought from itunes a while back, but now I mostly buy from Amazon (since the Amazon MP3 app on the Nexus makes it so convenient).

Thing is, I'm not even talking about the QUALITY of the audio files. The music itself sounds fine to me (Not trying to start any audio file format wars. I realize some people can't stand the lower quality of lossy file formats like mp3 and that's fine. But even if lossy formats sounded noticeably worse to me, it really wouldn't matter since i usually use cheap headphones/speakers to listen to my music anyway ;)).

What causes problems for me is that since my music collection was all mastered at varying volume levels (again, not cause I ripped it myself and screwed it up cause I didn't know what I was doing; most of it was purchased from itunes or Amazon), as I skip from track to track (random tracks from varying albums by different artists all shuffled together) the volume tends to jump around, sometimes quite drastically. I may get to one song that's so quiet I can't hear it, so I turn it up. Once that song ends though, the music player might jump to another song that's kind of loud at a normal volume, but since I've already turned up the volume, now it's painfully loud.

I realize that the ideal solution would be to rip all of the tracks myself from their original lossless sources, but for me that's not an option. Additionally, I can say that using replay gain values to normalize the "loudness" of my music library works quite well in the software media players I've used in the past (such as Winamp and itunes). Even the "sound check" feature (which is just apple marketing for their glorified version of replay gain) built into the ipod touch's music player provides solid music playback of the same audio files without me having to constantly fiddle with the volume controls. If a 2 year old ipod touch can do it, I know my Nexus can. :D

Again, the basic idea itself isn't so complicated. While on a PC, a piece of software, such as Winamp, scans your music library, calculates the replay gain values (whether the "loudness" of each track/album is too loud or too quiet and what the proper offset should be in as a positive or negative db value) and stores them in a metadata tag in the audio file itself. From there, you load the media files (tagged with their new replay gain values) back onto your Nexus One. Then the music app would read the replay gain values for each track/album and apply them to the output volume.

The only thing I'm not sure of is how much work it would take to actually implement this idea in Android. :p But that's why I'm hoping to hear from others who might be interested in such a feature. Hopefully if there's enough interest, some of the devs with more knowledge about Android can chime in to let the rest of us know how feasible a replay gain feature would be.
[Nexus One Android Development] Omster:
This is definitely a feature I'd like to see as well, ReplayGain is practically essential for any music collection spanning more than a decade or so.

I hesitate to recommend this to anyone that ISN'T starting with lossless files, but it is possible (as a stopgap measure) to apply the gain stored in the tags directly to the audio data BEFORE encoding it for transfer to your device. Of course if you're starting from lossy sources this will cause a reduction in music QUALITY. My collection is largely lossless and I have done this for some time (the FLAC decoder has a useful --apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless switch) to create files for use on my phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] kofruge:
Always glad to hear that there are others who would also be interested in a simple Replay Gain option for the stock Music app. It seems to be a common feature on portable music players these days. Certainly if apple can bundle it with their ipods, we can bundle it with our Androids. Right guys? :D

[XPERIA X10 General] yoyogu:
It means edge, a slower version of 3g =\

it should tell you in the manual
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
Yeah you are just in an area where the network speed isn't as fast. Like yoyogu said it's called "Edge".
[XPERIA X10 General] ijob:
many thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
The advice isn't quite right... it's actually a quicker version of "G" (GPRS).. it runs over the same protocol as GPRS (GSM) where as 3G is completely different and runs over WCDMA..
[XPERIA X10 General] Chewitt:
EDGE is actually classed as a 3rd Generation network but is sometimes known as 2.5G what has confused peoples views, it runs at 236.8 kbit/s and this is why it is a 3G netowrk as it runs at over 200kbit/s, its not seen that much in the UK (not at all in Japan or South Korea) as it was almost skipped straight to full 3G in our market boom when we had a massive mast rollout to get ready for UTMS, but in the US and Europe it was pushed out a lot, you will even find in some places they are still rolling it out.

[Touch HD General] hightmare:
hi all the issue i have is with the reception of my fm radio which is very poor i use the latest gtx nrg rom i have the impression that is a hardware problem do you have any suggestions or should i sent my hd to the service center?
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Maybe try with different headphones first. The antenna is actually the wire of the headphones.
[Touch HD General] hightmare:
i tried that i also compared my hd with another one using the same headphones the difference to the reception was significant any other recommendations?
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Ouch, sounds like a hardware issue which you can't do anything about but to claim warranty.

My experiences with this HTC FM receiver are very mixed.

It seems that the screencontroller causes alot of noise which you can clearly hear when you have weak reception and the screen turns off.

Another thing I have, also on the Touch Pro, is that sometimes the fm receiver goes in some slow mute, unmute etc like a slow oscillator.
[Touch HD General] maronna:
Hi. I confirm to have exactly your problem. I used task29 to format the rom and flashed a lot of new rom but the problem is always present. I think it's not a hardware problem becouse the radio has bad reception but it function. I think it's a driver problem. Before i started to flash rom different from the original the radio was perfectly functioning. I noticed also that by flashing roms with windows mobile 6.1 compiled 1,5 years ago the radio had no problem. I've noticed this problem 4/5 months ago and i've also asked to various cooks which was the problem, but the answer was always the same the they do not had tested it. I've noticed that by installing the "power radio" software the reception is lightly better. This program uses different drivers.

The problems i have are these:

1) By making a scan radio doen not found any station "No station found" is the answer

2) By changin step by step the frequency i can listen various station

3) RDS is functioning only after for 1 or 2 station and after 1 or 2 minutes of listening.

4) By changing the headphones with other ones the problems are exactly the same.

Now i've have a NGR rom. The last one cooked on the 4 of september 2010. The problems are exactly the same.
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
so did you find any solution for this or the problem stil persit .

Even iam the victim of this problem
[Touch HD General] maronna:
No! I didn,t find a solution. I asked to a lot of cookers and they have been supposing the problem is due to the drivers.

You have to know that htc has developed proper radio fm drivers the cookers don't have.

So the problem is due to the flashing of a cooked rom different from the original one.

As in another post:

"Microsoft hasn't defined a tuner API for Windows Mobile platform (yet) and manufactures such as HTC do not publish their API for FM radio.

GFMAPI is an FM Radio interface that designed to be used on different models of Windows Mobile devices.

It makes all FM RDS based applications such as Radio players, Radio Alarm, TMC navigation works on different devices"

So the chipset of the blackstone radio FM is the "BRF6350 Chipset"

I hope the cookers will find a solution. I Doubt the problem is a hardware problem.

Just someone of you has to try the following: virginize the Htc Blackstone by installing the original rom and the original radio. The rom and radio when u bought the phone.

If the problem persists with the original rom is a hardware problem. So leave the phone to adjust by htc. Otherwise if it is functioning really well with the original htc rom, we could only hope the cookers will find a way to solve the problem in all the future rom.
[Touch HD General] hightmare:
i agree with you someone who has the original rom 6.1 has to try to find out if this is a hardware problem
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
Thnks for that, iam downloading the original rom.

will check and update you about the radio.
[Touch HD General] maronna:
U will find your original rom here.... http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blackstone/Shipped_ROMs but i reccomend u to follow the correct flashing procedure of revirginizing.

Ok, i will wait for your news.
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
Hi Maronna,

Your great , i just downloaded the Rom from HTC site .(Asia version dosent work so used US) This has Radio bundled in it .

Link

http://www.htc.com/in/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=698

The radio perfectly worked, so ideallys its a driver problem.

so we need to get our rom cookers to includde these drivers.

Thanks a lot .
[Touch HD General] maronna:
So i was quite sure it was a driver problem. Generally hardware problems are different. For example: you are not able to listen to the radio fm any more.

I don't know why the cookers underevalue this big problem.

I discovered this problem for the first time with the IGO Navigator, becouse i tried to gain the TMC advices (of traffic) through the radio FM with a headphone wire. With the stock rom it was possible but with all the other ones not.

So i propose to all you to write to the cookers, NGR in particular (also if i've tried time ago), to try to solve the problem :-) also if i doubt a solution will be found unless it will be possible to extract the API from the HTC roms... i think
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Wow, that is weird!

I am using the NRG 8th of September rom and the radio works as expected.

I did not notice any difference from the stockrom

Can you try to flash the NRG rom again and check if it is still bad after the flash?

Also which HTC radio and rill are you using?

I'm on 1.17 and rill 1.15
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
Hi lukesan ,

can you give me the link for NRG 8th of September rom, i will try that .

but do you have the FM radio problem ?

secondly did it work after flashing this rom?

and your question about radio , i have tried all the versions but didnt work
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Hi Pankajvg,

Sure but I always shorten ENERGY to NRG :-)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562952

I use the GTX themed ones. They are really beautiful and the new versions are fast.

The download link is in post 2 on that first page.

And no I don't have the described problem with the radio that the thead starter and other have.

I still feel a bit uncomfy about the driver being the issue. Maybe affected users have a different model type. Do you actually have no reception at all ??

There are many variables that would be causing this but I have never actually used the standard HTC radio.

I use powerradio from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531600

The radio and rom work perfectly, even being 10km up in the sky ;-)

I would also check the radio version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466274

The one I use is 1.17... which I find to work perfectly, nice clean GSM signal, almost instant GPS lock etc.

Let us all know your result so the rest can benefit of the result.
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
Hi Lukesan,

I have already tried with Power radio , but didnt help.

Iam downloading the NRG rom , will flash and update you shortly.
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
Tried the NRG rom with 1.17 Radio, but didnt help.

its the same issue.

IaM rolling back to different rom as this ROM has issue with Active syn.

Active sync fails for Exchange account which is very imprtant for my official mails.
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Wow seems you have multiple issues.

I'm running that rom and have no issue with my exchange account or radio.

Any way to isolate the files needed for the fm radio from the original rom and incorperate them in another?

Also which original rom are you guys trying? Might be worth to try one from another country and check if yours might be different hardware.

The other question remains, no reception at all or just bad reception?
[Touch HD General] maronna:
As described in my first post the problem is bad reception.

I've istalled GTX rom from NRG since 8th of september. I had been flashing at about 200 / 300 rom. I confirm to have the same problem with all the roms 6.5 6.5.x except for the original htc and some other roms with 6.1 by maryone, Luca Picci.

I've also flashed from the first to the last radio (reception) and relative dll. Same problem.

The only exception i had was with a Maryone rom 6.5.5

As I told before the absense of signal is a hardware problem. The bad reception not. The chipset receives the electrical impulses.

May be your blackstone is newer or older than ours and it could have another fm chipset inside. I never told radio was no functioning at all.

Bye
[Touch HD General] pankajvg:
can we have some solution for this .

iam really helpless now.
[Touch HD General] maronna:
I think you don't have to loose the hope.

Look at here. http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/ti_bluelink_6_brf6350.pdf

As you can see this is the PDF describing the chipset our mobile phone has got inside.

I can only make another supposition:

a driver conflict between bluetooth and FM drivers inside the new roms.

This could be due to the fact that they are built in by taking different pieces of software from different phones and roms.

As you have tested with your hands the original rom has no problems and the radio FM is perfect. This definitively validate the fact that is not a hardware problem. I confirm this also by asserting that if the chipset had broken .... the bluetooth should'nt funtion too. They are printed and linked on the same piece of silicious.

I think that only the cookers can help us by testing the functioning of the fm radio with the correct drivers melting pot. They never did that....they never test the radio FM becouse this is a strange problem and also not so evident. So I suggest to write to them to solve the problem.

I suggest to send them a PM by indicating our posts

Bye
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
By not working or bad reception those are different variables but can be confused by some people.

If you can hear FM noise but no reception it can mean that the PLL doesn't work and the receiver is 'locked' to one frequency, even though you might be able to change freq on the display.

Bad reception can be different things but as you point out that it works perfectly with original roms it can't be a hardware fault. It might be that the frontend is not turned on and you have bad reception which seems to be your case.

I have had 2 HD's. The first one was from the absolute beginning and I don't recall putting on a wm6.5 image.

The one I have now (checking under the batt), well the sn starts with HT94LKD..... probably meaning 2009

P/N 99HHC026-00

This one works perfectly with the new roms.
