Hi there,

Anybody else having issues uploading pictures using the facebook and twitter apps? Whenever I click on the camera button the app restarts itself.

I'm using a nook color rooted with autonooter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1979crazy:
Hi

This is my first post on the forum but have used the forum for a while and its a great place.

By chance I put my work ID/Vending machine card (one that you top up with cash to use the vending machines) next to my Nexus S and it flashed up on the screen 'new tag collected' and 'unknown tag type'

Whats does this mean? and interestingly what can I do with it?

Has anyone else had this?

Cheers for looking
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
I just did it as well.. same thing.. I think I'm going to try to use it to get past security and buy lunch Monday

Edit: never mind it won't let me 'share' the unknown tag

Edit2: there are apps that will let you store it and share it in market.. So trying this monday..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drksilenc:
nfc is what most touch badges use ironically. You would have to have the nfc transmit or resonate the same signal as your badge for it to work
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
I figured that but I'll give it a shot anyway. maybe get dirty looks from security. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
Even I am interested in this ... Any luck with swiping your phone to get past the door?

Also, if it did work, could you tell me what application you used to share the unknown tag? I am, right now, still waiting for the 2.3.3 OTA (yes, i am a bit of a noob)... but i guess if this thing works, i wouldnt mind being a bit adventurous and installing OTA via my SD card (yeah ... you're right..if i take that to be 'being adventurous' u know how big a noob i am :cool: )
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
Didn't work.. at least it didn't work with the vending machines. I didn't try the security gate.

I tried a couple different nfc apps from the market. There isn't very many, could toy with all of them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
aww maan...wud've been totally awesome if it'd worked though ..

i have to use an access card to get thru everything here.. entrances/carparks/doors/ office rooms ...

oww well..guess i still have to stay old school :P

thanks for the confirm though..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Just to shed some light here. It is possible for the Nexus S to push a message to a waiting device. However, it currently pushes NDEF messages.

Most of your "security" based RFID tags are probably not NDEF formated. Many use the MiFare Classic tags due to size and their low cost. These tags can be formated to NDEF for use with the Nexus S (that's how I use them), but likely aren't that way out of the gate.

Run a logcat when you touch the tag look at what the intent coming in says.

For an NDEF formated tag it will look something like this:

I/ActivityManager( 118): Starting: Intent { act=android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED typ=text/plain flg=0x10000000 (has extras) } from pid 200

I/ActivityManager( 118): Starting: Intent { flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.android.nfc/.TechListChooserActivity (has extras) } from pid 200

Try NXP Tag Writer and see if it will read the card contents or identify the type of message stored.

Sorry if this is in wrong place. Noobie

Moto droid1 Cynogenmod 6.1.2

I just flashed 6.1.2 and was moving apps around panels and accidentally placed app over my applications app (thought it was the old trash on bottom). Now I cant seem to be able to replace the applications tab. I have tried to create own shortcut and then replace it but unable to. Any thoughts would help.

Thankyou!

Found it!

Longpress homescreen - custom shortcut then tap "pick your activity" and choose "launcher actions", select "open/close App drawer". After that drag & drop the launcher icon on the appr. place.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
Theres a new version of the Swype beta that is IMMENSELY better than the preloaded swype that comes with the atrix, it literally fixes all the annoying things of the older Swype versions:

http://beta.swype.com/

Swype 3.x beta works with the method below!

Process:

1) Use Root Explorer/Terminal/ADB to backup and then delete Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib

2) Download the installer from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (on your phone)

3) Use installer to login and install latest version of swype

After your first phone reboot, if you are experiencing Swype Force closes after installing the latest swype, uninstall swype from your phone and then reinstall it; it should no longer force close after reboot.

If you are still experiencing force crashing after reinstall, try wiping your dalvik cache within CWM. Thanks Dudeman Broguy.

If you want to get in the latest beta, sign up over here. Registrations are open right now, hurry before they close them again!

Thanks to playin4sheezy for figuring this out: post #12
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] graemegb:
yes, i have been using it all day and it looks and feels great! if you have sideloading enabled, when you start the install it will ask to over write the current one.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
Im trying to use the installer and it tells me to disable swype, and you cant disable the built in one. Can you pm me the apk?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Clienterror:
Yea, I get to the point where it says "Licensing Swype, please wait...." and it doesn't get past that.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] playin4sheezy:
You need to go into /system/app and move Swype.apk to a backup folder on /mnt/sdcard

Then go into /system/lib and do the same for libSwypeCore.so

Give it a reboot and then try to install the beta. It worked for me
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Krshaw18:
How did you move the apk, it wont allow me to do so
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
woo nice! thanks that worked for me! no more stupid tip window!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
you have to use root explorer (and be rooted) or you could use terminal/adb (still have to be rooted)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Krshaw18:
Sorry for the noob questions! Move it completely? or make a back up of it? and also any apps out there like root explorer but free :p?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] buckbomb56:
I tried the above steps but the libswypecore is still in the system folder when i move it as it is read only...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
If youre rooted, root explorer is worth the money. You have to move Swype.apk completely, and make sure its not there after moving or the install wont work.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] playin4sheezy:
Make sure if you are in Root Explorer that you click the R/W button at the top to make the system folder Read/Write access. Then long press the files and click move and goto sdcard and make a folder named "whatever you want" then click paste..

Or you could do this using adb with Atrix plugged into the computer:

goto command prompt

type the following:

adb shell

su

mkdir /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

cp /system/app/Swype.apk /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup

cp /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup

rm /system/app/Swype.apk

rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

Hopefully this gets you going
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joshuajoshua:
Wont let me delete
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] playin4sheezy:
Is your phone rooted? If so, then when you typed su in adb shell(not terminal) did it ask you for superuser permission? If so, then you should make sure and accept it.

If your phone is not rooted, then I don't think your gonna get this working
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
I didnt need to move/delete libSwypeCore.so and the install worked fine.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] playin4sheezy:
Ok. Be aware that I've had previous issues with swype after few days of use because I didn't remove that file
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] cegna09:
I would suggest someone testing that you can in fact put it back to the stock setup. Mine somehow got deleted when i first got the phone, and it doesn't come back, factory reset or otherwise.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
i have been messing with swype for the last few days

i can guarentte you that if u installed / mounted a messed up version of swype (WVGA with a language pack in my case), you can just use put the backup stock swype back on /system/app and it'll be fine again
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
i get an error on sign-in into the installer, says device id dont match. any ideas?

EDIT: I had to log into mySwype and remove my old phone (nexus one) and then now it works!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
and where the heck is the APK

i cant seem to find it ...

nvm i have to use the stock browser to make it work

one more thing .... i dont feel much difference between the 2 versions.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] neotekz:
can someone post the link to download swype beta? i looked in the market and dont see it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
no market no link

u have to sign up on their site and they will email you a like, u have to login afterwards to make it work.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
can you disable the language button? I'll never use it and its taking up space that should be for SYM or space bar
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] neotekz:
just installed it, what are the differences between this swype and the old one?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
well the most obvious is the skin, but if you read the link in the OP, those are the major changes that were the main annoyances of every version prior to this - especially the pop-up tip crap if you change a word from something you typed to a default word
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] xdaLurker:
Does anyone think the modifying of these files will have an impact on future OTA updates failing? Or can we can confirm that changing this its completely recoverable in that regard if needed
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
once the SBF of stock Atrix comes out you can just use it to flash back to original stock files and be able to update
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] acPIZZA:
I need help. I am very very frustrated. I used root explorer to move the two files to a randomly named folder in the correct location. Rebooted and installed from the link in this thread and it simply will not jnstall the newest swype.

Tried four times- keeps jnstalling version:

2.29.71.20186

When the new version is:

2.29.71.20084
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] UD`:
Is it possible to change the skin to what swype on atrix comes with?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ronj1986:
I have followed the directions. I had the newer skype installed yesterday, but upon restarting my phone its no longer there. I have went through the steps again, but can't get the installer to install Swype.

I couldn't get it to work with those directions on how to use ADB to do it. the root shell or whatever the 1st line to enter was does not work for me.

Anyone can assist me?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ronj1986:
OK, so I got it working now, but should I copy the new swype to system/app folder. If yes, where can I find where it is located in my phone so that I can move it?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dnthmn123:
I got it working but now my google search closes unexpectadely
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] acPIZZA:
I can get it installed, but once again it is nit installing the latest beta version. What the hell.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ronj1986:
Thats what this thread is about, hence the title of the thread 'New Swype beta':cool:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ronj1986:
I think I answered ALL of the problems & questions that I had(using google), but I don't want to restart my phone to test my theory.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
have you installed Google voice search from the market? I think the one that comes with the atrix is outdated and not added to your list of apps to update
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
the new version IS 20186.

The forum listed the wrong build # in the first post, but if you look at the changelog:

Current versions

Installer: 1.1.20186 (12.01)

SwypeBETA - STANDARD: 2.29.71.20203 (all languages)

SwypeBETA - MICRO: 2.29.71.20186 (English + Spanish only)

You have the newest version!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ranova:
how did you install it?

The process should be:

1) Use Root Explorer/Terminal/ADB to backup and then delete Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib

2) Download the installer from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (on your phone)

3) Use installer to login and install latest version of swype

I rebooted my phone and its still there. You dont have to move any apk's back to /system/app
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Well that was easy haha. New Swype seems much better than the older version installed with phone. Not bad but I still like the regular gingerbread keyboard.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] txtsd:
This beta...

I think I just came :eek:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
Hahaha.

The semi-transparent traceline did that to me. I gotta reinstall that mofo soon.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] acPIZZA:
Alright so I have the newest beta, but it doesn't look anything like the screen shots posted in any of the articles. There are way too many buttons along the bottom row and such. Can you remove them?

Ill mess with swype for a while if I can clean up the keyboard a bit. Otherwise the gingerbread or stock keyboard are my go to. I increased the key height on the gb keyboard to match the stock size wise and it is awesome and super fast to type on
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] blancNoir:
Cool, thanks for the heads up pal.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] UD`:
Well i just tried it..but after a reboot it just force closes. I did remove the apk and lib files.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Sebring5:
I installed it, it works, it is different

I'm not sure it is any better but I will run with it. I have the old files on my sd card if I need them. Is there any way to remove the voice option button?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jiggytom:
Does anyone have a screenshot of what the swype beta is supposed to look like on the Atrix. I have it installed, but I wanna make sure the res is right on it....the keys look smaller and have larger spaces in between them....
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Sebring5:
I did a reboot installing aroot and had issues-it would not work. The Beta Swype was not in system/apps or in system/lib. I deleted everything including the installer and reinstalled the Beta from scratch. Everything is working now. Hopefully I will not have to repeat the repair. The files are still not in system/apps or system/lib. Two applications show up: Swype installer and Swype. I am searching the files to try and find where they reside. Beta Swype works.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] live4nyy:
The beta does not go to system/app, they actually mention that on the Swype website. It will be in the same place as something like Gmail or where Swiftkey would be.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Sebring5:
Thanks for the info!!!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] txtsd:
all you have to do is uninstall and reinstall. that what I did, and it works fine now. no more FCs.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Not sure what happened but now my Swype causes FCs. I've deleted and rerun the installer to no avail. I guess no more Swype for me?

I even downloaded an older apk of Swype and it force closes.

Can someone post the stock swype files so I can try and reinstall them? My backups are gone now too. So as of now I have no Swype. Very confused here.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nick.anderson:
I had the same problem initially. Go to settings -> applications -> manage -> all applications. Find swype and the swype installer and uninstall them. Reinstall the swype installer and reinstall swype beta.

Be sure you disabled swype and have the default keyboard or something besides swype set for input method before doing all of that.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] phobos512:
I went ahead and tried installing Swype. Worked out 2nd time around - had the FC issues as well on the first install after reboot. Rather than using TBU to backup the original Swype I went ahead and used Root Explorer to rename the original files (noted in the first post) to .bak. That way I can just uninstall the beta Swype and rename the stock files and I'll be good to update should the day ever come.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Thanks! Fixed the issue and I'm back up and running.

It's strange I had this for a day or two working perfectly then I installed the 10.2 Flash and all of a sudden it kept giving me FCs. All is well now though.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] s0dhi:
Tried this, got the FCs, then uninstalled and reinstalled and averything seemed to be working... until I tried to use Swype in which case it wasn't working. Has me baffled.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Did you try what was mentioned to me above? I had the same issues kept uninstalling but I guess it didn't uninstall fully till I did it that way. In case you need it below is the instructions.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] JD914:
After first install I got FC after first reboot so I uninstalled and reinstalled Swype and all is fine now.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] s0dhi:
Yeah, I did the process a few times and it appeared successful. No FCs. The Swype keyboard was there but it wasn't working (as Swype).
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Cool glad it's all up and running for you now.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crnkoj:
ye i just tried it out today, im a "vip" member at their forums so i just dled it there, works great and i think ill have it as the default keyboard for some time, too bad it doesnt support my language :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] calvin398:
How do we revert back to the original stock swype keyboard if we followed your directions in post #12? Really appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] blaque72:

Adding Thumb Kb with this

is it possible to set swype to run landscape and thumb KB to run portrait?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nick.anderson:
Uninstall swype and swype installer, put the apk and library back where they came from.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bl0wf1sh:
Cool!

Installed it, works like a charm :)

Not sure I dig the new theme though, I have to say the black one (older swype) was still the best. The stock swype theme was nice too.

The recognition is WAY better than the stock swype! Especially the hidden word hint (which is not helpful at all) appears a lot less, and it asks for my opinion a lot less too. Neat. The semi-transparent trace line takes some getting used to, but I am fine either way ;)

Now if ONLY they included German language support in their beta. Users are already complaining for the longest time for language packs, even if they have to pay for them, but it seems those complaints fall on deaf ears...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] energie.:
How did you get it to work? I uninstall and install 3 times, it installs fine but when I use it it says this version of swype not supported on this device? I got a X10 and the previous beta worked 100%. signs
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] calvin398:
Thanks for your help! How exactly would I do that? aka what commands do I need to put into adb and where would I get the apk and library?

Edit: I figured most of out out but I sisterly backed up my apk and library incorrectly so I don't have those files. I saw on the rules that we're not supposed to post swype apks.. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me on this?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
so wheres that again ?

i m having a hard time deleting it

edit:

i had to use root explorer to search for " swype " and renamed everything swype related to install this new version

stupid moto
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Dillsnik:
Hi,

I didn't use the old swype for very long before installing this update, so not super familiar with the differences.

I just flashed my ROM back to SBF and reinstalled GingerBlur..

How can i easily check to make sure i restored this version of swype and am not still running the old one?

Thanks

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
Does anyone know how to get rid of the Swype Tutorial at the bottom left?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] elementaldragon:
I'm assuming by "Swype Tutorial" in the bottom left you mean the Swype button? It's not really a button just for a tutorial. If you watch some of their video's online, they show you that the Swype button can be used to add words to Swype's dictionary and such.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Dillsnik:
I can't tell if i had the latest version since i last flashed SBF, Anyone know which version the latest beta should show up as?

I am showing in the swype settings as:

2.6.46.11740
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] k0sun7eash3d:
If you just flashed the SBF, I'm pretty sure you were reverted back to the stock swype. I just installed the beta about 5 minutes ago and I'm reading Ver. 2.29.71.20186.t100

On a sidenote, the Swype beta put the carriage return back in the messaging app. Which idiot at Google thought it would be a good idea to completely replace that with a smiley button... Thank you Swype!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
If you used DG's aRoot to root your phone, the file system should mount automatically, because it enables a "00remount" script in the init.d folder. Otherwise you can use Root Explorer to manually go into the file system and mount it, then push the files via ADB. That's what I used to have to do on a few other Android phones.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
finally got it installed, so happy to be rid of the "hidden word" popup, and i do like the black/grey keyboard instead of the stock white one.
