Swype Application Update for Android Devices Including T-Mobile G2

We do remember T-Mobile G2 gadget and its main advantage in the form of the Swype keyboard. The feature is now going through a major update making the feature even more appealing. Not to take your time we will simply tell about the changes it brings in.

We will first stop on two major changes that were actually resulted by the users claims:

• First, the hidden word tip window has been all but completely removed. It will appear one time, and one time only, for the first hidden word you encounter after a new installation. After that, it’s a historic event!
• Second, contact names that are automatically added to the user dictionary will now stay deleted instead of being re-added accidentally.

As for the major language thing we do have the following:

We’ve significantly expanded the beta’s support for various devices and languages. This update sees the addition of QVGA, WQVGA, WSVGA, and qHD support and the inclusion of dictionaries for Dutch, UK English, and Russian. Users should be aware that not all screen-resolutions include support for all languages.

And as a final note let’s get through the list of additional changes offered by the update:

• Due to incompatibilities with new features added to Android 2.3.3, we have disabled double-tap-to-edit IN ANDROID 2.3.3 ONLY. This ONLY effects Android version 2.3.3
• We fixed one of our gestures that you’ve all been asking for but didn’t work quite right: To hide the keyboard you can trace a path from the SWYPE key to the BACKSPACE key.
• The installer includes a new option when it detects Swype is already installed: Generate License. This option can be used to force Swype to delete and re-create the license file. This should make fixing license issues a lot easier for our users.
• Some changes to the license have significantly decreased the likelihood that updating your system software will require a new license for Swype. Major changes (such as switching between ROM flavors, e.g. going from CyanogenMod to SenseUI-based ROMs) will still require a new license, but simply updating your existing ROM should no longer disable Swype.
