Swype Error :/ - HD2 General

I ve tried both 3.09 and 2.00 versions on my 1.61 stock HD2 , but both getting "Open of EnglishUS" failed error
Is Swype not compatible with this rom? What am I doing wrong?!

It isn't compatible. If you want this feature, you'll have to:
1) buy an HD2 that has it in the ROM already.
or
2) flash to a ROM that contains it in order for it to work properly.
I did so, largely for this reason, and although many have complained about its function, particularly on secondary/long press keys, I have not had much difficulty with it, although I have seen the issue and have worked my way around it when it presents, because I find the software an absolutely indispensable feature for the way I use my phone every day.

Like you I have found Swype brilliant!
Out of curiosity, what work around did you use to get around the 'long press' issue?

I've noticed that it seems to happen in specific contexts, and that in general, if I can keep my finger dead steady during the long press, it won't have a problem reading the long press about 95% of the time. Long press "?"/M seems to always work at the end of sentences, at least for me, for example, so I think there is some context issues related to this.
I also tried deleting the Swype User data files and it seemed to help. Not sure why, or if it was real or imagined, but the issue was less common after doing so.
I can't do without it in my HD2, so I'll live with it the way it is, because even with these issues, I don't mind it.

Hi Donal,
Do you have a download link for the OzROM you have mentioned in your sig? I assume that installing it will wipe phone memory/data? I'm only asking as I have a problem with Swype, with it often causing the 'keyboard button' to become inoperable, I'm wondering if it's a problem with my Rom, as I only have the old 'out of the box' one, 1.43 or so I think.

I just reinstalled the Omnia2 versin of swype.
I somehow prefer that version..more used to it and it doesn't have that secondary key problem...

Tap them out once and Swype should add them to its database. You should be able to slide them out thereafter.

This is bollocks.
I have installed swype successfully (both versions) on a 1.43 rom and a 1.66 rom (both stock). ALL functionality works as it should.

Don't mislead people by offering advice when you don't know what you're on about.
There is no connection between the Swype CABs and the ROMs. It should all work.
Now, that error isn't uncommon, I've had it myself. Unless you get the error after installing the Swype HTC skin found on XDA, you can fix the error merely by uninstalling Swype and reinstalling using the CAB. Select the Swype keyboard to make sure it works and then do a soft reset.
I've used both the Omnia II and T-Mo HD2 Swype CABs on a variety of phones with a variety of ROMs and it all works. Currently using the HD2 CAB on official 1.66 WWE ROM and it works well.

I already followed this steps with v3.9, but i had lost the e-mail & wi-fi passwords, the phone was blocking and needed to reset with the red button under the cover, with a long press on the keys to get symbols 90% of times did not working... swype it is really fast, but seems not working, at least the one fixed for hd2 , as it claims (with the .txt in /windows folder)

I just posted a cab that worked for me, here it is:

can you select swype by clicking the up arrow at the centre bottom off the keyboard? I only ask because this one worked for me whilst the other version I tried wiped my data connections too.

Yes indeedy.

I have used both versions of swype, Omnia 2 and 3.9. I find 3.9 more pleasing to the eye. The buttons are bigger and the letters are bigger. Yes its a little harder to press and hold to get the numbers but it works everytime for me. Seems that the touch points are smaller.
But when installing both versions I lost email settings and wifi settings. The wep password disappears for the router and my smtp and pop settings disappear for emails. I have switched back and fourth and both versions cause the same issues. But so does pulling the battery when to do a reset. So it seems to be more of an HTC issue and not a swype issue.
I have heard others saying about the 3.9 and lock password being changed. I have a feeling swype 2.0 does the same thing. Might be linked to the other problems.

I had the same error. I solved by installing my language version and on Device memory instead of Storage card.
Anyway, I'm wondering how can I edit keyboard layout...

Could you please pull your cab. We do not yet have an official beta for Windows Mobile. It has been announced that Swype will be available through T-Mobile on the HTC HD2, but today it is only available through Verizon on the Samsung Omnia II.

No numbers on Full Qwerty keyboard...

Dunno what happened, I've updated with the latest 2 ROM updates (office enhancements and notifications enhancements) for my phone, but I seem to have lost the numbers from my full QWERTY keyboard.
I can get numbers by pressing and holding the letter keys, but by pressing ".,123" I only get 8 keyboards to choose from, and none have any numbers.
In the main this isn't a prob, except if you're in contacts when you can only enter a number, but the keyboard won't let you.
I've used HD tweak in the past, but not for T9 input.
I've since uninstalled the 2 ROM updates and the keyboard hasn't changed.
The forums have loads of cases of being stuck in number mode, but none where the keyboard won't allow numbers.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers!
Just found a similar experience with the ROM updates.

Guess we'll have to wait to one of you clever people to work this one out.
Thanks!
Strangely, I have the same symptom after the above mentioned hotfixes. Unfortunately, uninstalling the hotfix doesn't help and having a hard reset is not an option that I'm looking at right now. I've already escalated this to the HTC support and waiting for them to release a fix. In the meanwhile, I'll either use the compact QWERTY or use the Full QWERTY without the numbers tab
Hi there,
Same here, after install the latest fixes from the website I only have 8 keyboard pages while using FULL QWERTY. The numbers page has dissappeared.
Uninstalling the 2 fixes did NOT recover this problem.
I also want to avoid a HARD RESET.
Any clever ideas.

Menno
Hi There,
I have since logged a fault with HTC and they have investigated and just called me back.
The advice is that I will have to reflash (sigh!) the device with a new ROM which will apparently be available from their support site later today/tonight(?).
In fact, the site had been taken down as I am typing this.
Let's see what happens.

I called HTC Support again and I was told that they're aware of this issue and working on another HotFix which might take 2 weeks or 2 months..Damn..
In the meantime, try using Fingerkeyboard 2.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
IMO, much better than HTC's effort.
I personally don't bother with most of HTC hotfixes as they can cause issues, especially if your using cooked roms. Remember, before you install any hotfix always do a backup first!!!
Only solution I can think of is a hard reset as I'm not aware of any reg fixes etc. Do a backup of contacts/emails etc beforehand

Hi There,
Thanks for the tip; Installed Fingerkeyb 2.1 and I am happy again!
BTW still no word from HTC re the fix.....
Thanks a bundle

Problem sorted (somehow)
After installing the same Hotfix, the numbers also disapeared from my full Querty keyboard. HTC told me to do a hard reset (not a chance!).
Been serching forums and sites for days and have "accidently" fixed the problem. Not sure what part fixed it but I'll go through what I did and maybe it will work for you too. I must mention that I'm not that tech advanced at all.
I downloaded and installed fingerkeyb-20-wvga.cab (size 582kb). Checked that it was working fine. Checked full Querty, no luck.
Then downloaded and installed HTC_Keyboard__Keypad_MULTILANGUAGE.CAB (size 1912kb) after searching for an Ezinput keyboard for HTC Touch file ezinput.dll.0409. I found this file after going through the system files on the unit and finding two folders (ezinput and ezinput.dll.0409). It didn't display well so I uninstalled it. Checked full Querty and bingo, numbers back!!
I found both CAB files in the XDA forums.
Hope this helps.

Pleased to hear you got the problem "fixed".
As far as I am concerned, I now have FingerKeyb 2.1 and that'll do me nicely.
I am not touching anything unless I am specifically told by HTC.

Same here...
Great Hotfixes...
I´ve just contacted the support and waiting for reply.
I´ll keep you informed.
Have the same problem and uninstalling the hot fixes doesn't bring back the numbers 'tab' either. Does anyone know which actual 'Hot-Fix' created this problem - the Office Mobile Enhancement (BLAS00369) update or the Notifications Enhancement update (BLAS00349)?
At least can still access the numbers by holding and pressing the relevant buttons with the letters on, but not ideal.
Looks like will have to await a fix
HTC answered that I have an O2 rom and they are not resposible if those Hotfixes will not work with the original O2 rom.
They recommend a hard reset.
On the other hand they will help customers with the same problem with the original HTC rom...

Swype comes with new languages!

Since there are new roms out, swype is usable in a few more languages such as English, Spanish (yes we had that!), Italian, German and French... Hopefully a few more will be added soon, but I think this is really good news! And it does work awesomely fluent and fast!

Have you had any trouble using the long press keys with teh new swype? (press and hold to get symbols and numbers)
I had to go back to the original swype, the new one just wouldn't do long press.
that is really strange. Long press works a the "new" swype on my hd2, even though i think they should integrate the multi-choice on long press!
OK, thanks. (I was running a test cook for a few days, not a final release, so it could be that it hadn't been configured properly.)
It works for me too, and I use both Spanish and English on a daily basis.
I think Swype is one of the coolest technnologies around, without a doubt. It was the reason I flashed a new ROM.
It's great! Works in French like a charm.
I can switch to English with two clicks when the need arises. On the minus side, it switches from the French AZERTY to QWERTY and I'm less familiar with the layout then. But it improves my typing so much that I can live with it

just to let you know mate... you didnt have to flash a new rom to have swype. You can install either the version ripped from Omnia 2, or the version ripped from T-Mobile US HD2 from the cabs floating around.

I think it has more to do with sensitivity, because if you try again....but be sure to hold your finger EXTREMELY STILL it will work.
I have noticed this myself. Even a fraction of a hair of movement is perceived as a movment, and the software acts accordingly, but if I slow down in that brief second to be very deliberate and steady, it works.

Yeah, that's true, but..
This one is newer (from the 2.10 TMOUS ROM) and I got all the other benefits of a new ROM to go with it, but in the end, it was the one feature I was really looking for more so than anything else, because the multi-lingual support is a thing I require.

I did give it a really good try, honest, with and without the screen sensitivity tweak. I use the earlier (dark coloured) swype all the time with not a problem, none at all. I've tried the new one a few times (the new one is pre installed on the rom I use, and i tried every time i hard reset for the first few times) and only maybe 1 press in 20 can i get the long press to work. I suspect it's actually a problem with the rom, not my method. I just gave up and put the old swype into my Autoinstal folder in the end, now i don't even see the new one. I don't need the languages anyway, so no biggie.

Could you install the old one over the new one without issue?
If so, maybe I'll give it a try to experiment. The only two languages I need are Spanish and English, so the old one still works for me, as it includes both.

yea thats what i mean, i autoinstal (the rom i use has an autoinstal from sdcard folder feature) so i put the old swype cab in there, then when i hard reset, the old one is autoinstalled so now i never have to even see the new one.

Latest Swype version?

Hi, what's the latest Swype version available?
Atm, I am using Skype 3.0.0.256, are there any updates?
Also noticed Swype 3.9.10.10.5032 floating around...
if you use 3.9 on a non tmous phone, and use a lock code, it will change the password and force you to hard reset, so be aware!
Hi, can you please tell me what rdoes "non tmous phone" stand for? Is this a custom ROM or?

3.9.10.10.5032 is the latest but as others have mentioned, some are lucky, many are not. There are many forums with people posting their problems, killing data connections, wifi, email settings, having to hard not soft reset as a solution etc.
Ive reverted back to using v2.0 from the omnia with Lesscro skin to make it look a little better. Sure the buttons are bit smaller but i believe its faster then 3.9 regardless of how you adjust speed vs accuracy. Also the hold button for the number feature actually works all the time unlike 3.9. All based on my own exp of course, there are many using 3.9 who prefer that.
I totally agree with rexboy, the version 2 with Lesscro's skin looks and works very well indeed.
Too many people are having problems with the 3.9.10.10.5032 version, it's not worth the hassle of installing.

So, what you are saing is that I if I cn find a cab of the SWYPE that was taken from the [email protected] it can be installed on the hd2? If so then I am going to search for it quick. This version that came with the Tmous HD2 bites. BTW, is there the weird overlap problem (at the bottom of the QWERTY board) that happend on non Omia2 phones?

Yep thats exactly what i am saying. This was the first swype that fits a WGVA phone extracted so it could run our HD2's. It did not have 100% of the features like advanced keyboard config (2 letters / key etc) but it works well.
The 3.9 is more tailored for our phones as its designed for the US Tmous phone but as mentioned, i just dont believe it works as well, try for yourself.
Cant post a link on here as most swype cab's and links have been removed as it rules prohibit a link to a cab version here but google will give you MANY hits to its direction.
Just make sure you install to the phone not storage and away you go.
* I havent noticed any overlap problems, keyboard looks good.

Thanks for this. I've been installing the cabs to the SD card, and you're saying that this should be put to the phone's root directory? Where exactly should I save it? Ive been trying for hours on end trying different versions. It's either the trial one that won't work or the cab, and I put the cab on my phone, but couldn't figure out why there wasn't an executable or APK to flash.
Any additional info as to where to root this would be great.

Please help me to Fix Hardware Keyboard keys A,S,D,F...

Hi Communiteee...
I have just started tweaking my TP2 and for some reason the above mentioned keys die on me...
I initially thought it was the "Classic Word Completion" cab but I do not have this installed and this AM it died again
If I hard reset with the internal storage it does not fix the problem BUT when HR with the Hardware keys it Does
Is there a way to check in the registry if these are still mapped correctly please.
The path would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

If you loaded on a new rom then you probably have to find and install the keyboard fix for whatever version of your phone you have. Look in the thread you downloaded the rom from and you'll likely find it in there.
That said.. if you havnt installed a rom and your keys randomly stopped working I would still try a keyboard fix. You can do a search in the rom subforum for them.
Good luck

Thank you Aaron,
I have only loaded the stock 6.5 ROM upgrade - will try to re-flash that and if that does not work I will try the Keyboard Editor I found on the Must have Apps Thread...
Will let ya know If I could get this resolved...
I am in the US and use AT&T. I have to install a cab every time I install a ROM or my keys are all screwed up. Maybe that is your issue. Good luck.

Please advise which .cab that would be which you have to use?
I reflashed the Stock ROM and the keys worked for a while and then they decide to stop I have no idea why - I downloaded Energy ROM last night - will flash that at work and see if this resolves my problem...
HTC have replaced my Hardware Keyboard so it has to be something to do with the software
Thnx!
Bad Boi,
You mentioned your keyboard was replaced by htc already. I would send it back. If a hard reset doesnt fix the prob then I would say its a hardware prob. Maybe I missunderstood you but a hard reset puts the registry back to stock. You may have a bad flash and need to try to reflash the upgrade. Also, every cab or reg edits I did to get back the good old predictive text/word completion, it would always mess up my soft keyboard not the hard one. I have found that if you install HDTweak and enable the T9 option it will give you the predictive text back. You can even adjust how many words it suggests. Dont forget to turn off xt9 on your device. It works like a charm. If you need a good keyboard remapper I use Tarkim keyboard controller. I have to do almost my entire keyboard cause there isnt a 100 % fix for the Tilt 2. Here are links for the programs I mentioned. I hope this helps.
ASDF

Thank you thebigrhinoone,
I have reflased stock upgraded ROM and the problem still pops up now and then - with or without tweaks added...
I have the Clasic Word Completion from PPC Geeks (Similar to Vogue Stock) for my TP2 and that works without any problems and no remapping required...
For the time being the ASDF is working - I will Flash the new ROM if the keys lock up again just to make sure if its hardware or not...
FYI
The way I get the predictive text working doesnt require any key mapping. The key remapper was for you to reassign the keys that arent working to see if that solves the problem. Sorry if I wasnt clear about that. If your problem persists try using the hd tweak method to see if that takes care of it. There are a lot off options in that program that you might like as well to tweak your phone. Take care and good luck.

SWYPE

I downloaded a CAB for SWYPE for TMObile HD2. Once it installed and did a soft reset, it told me my Password on key lock was wrong (when it wasn't). Had to a hard reset. Got everything working again. Reinstalled SWYPE again, same result. It seems to corrupt the password. Anyone else have the same problem? Could it be because my phone isn't with TMobile?

Did you read what was written in the thread where you downloaded it ? It is said at every place where you find swype, that there are problems like these... Go search for swype on this forum and youll find the answer...

This has just happened to me a couple of minutes ago !!!!
My phone is on T-Mobile HD2 - although I no longer have a T-Mobile ROM installed !!
Looks like a full rebuild for me as well
Please post a resolution if you find one!!!!
Hard Reset is your answer.
There are literally loads of threads about the issues of installing TMOUS Swype on a non-TMOUS HD2. A quick search would have saved you from the pain.
Just for fun
Well in my opinion swype is not the option u need to own, i tried it several times but takes a longer time to write what u want, so it's easier to use the regular keyboard. I think it's just for fun!

you've got to be kidding..right?. swype is the best thing ever. maybe its you who just cant get to grips with it......its defo not "just for fun" either. i'd be lost without it nowadays.......
Just search for WVGA SWYPE v.2 for SAMSUNG,Im using it for the last 2 months its I should say one of the most incredible app I ever used,its a great joy to '"type"on this board,just read the tutotrial,you can do that by tapping and holding the Swype logo on the buttom left of the keybord.
I myself suffered from previous versions and had to HR couple of times but with this no problem at all.

I 2nd that,
its only slow if you're not familiar with a qwerty kbrd or have sticky thumbs (me jokes!).
cant see how... search... press... lift... can be quicker than sliding from letter to letter if you know the layout, imho?

LOL, yeah, having sticky fingers is the only bug. i'd be devo if i had to go back to the "old" way of texting........
Wait, why are you trying to install swype???
I have a Tmou Leo and I never had to install anything. It was already on my phone, i just had to turn on the option for it. Granted, it was a pain in the ass to actually find; actually found it by accident.
Anyway, so yeah... why?
P.S.
Swype FTW
