When you said your version has expired I assumed you'd already signed up for the old beta, and they let you download a new version if you had an old beta on that page.

West Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Is there an official date for Froyo? All I keep reading is the end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 No probs Dirk, thanks. I've extracted this from a later Galaxy S ROM http://rapidshare.com/files/419824906/Swype.apk . If yours is expired then you've got nothing to lose by giving it a try but there very well may be other stuff it needs and it may check build.prop or something. Is there an official date for Froyo? All I keep reading is the end of September. For the Galaxy S? Rumour has it that it's the 23rd September. Samsung have said it will definitely be September so they've not got long left either way. I'm hoping the latest leak from about 3 days ago (JPH) is being re-cut because if they ship this version they'll get slated. Worryingly this build is registered in the Market so either this is the release candidate or there will be a newer JPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try but it is as you suggested restricted - process com.swype.android.inputmethod has stopped unexpectedly Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I am registered but don't use it because Swype comes pre installed on my Galaxy S. Anyway I can download it and send it to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 You're welcome mate. I remember losing Swype on mt X10 when the a previous version expired in June. It's only then you realise it's the one thing you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Can someone tell me what the new version of Swype is? 1.56 is the version on Galaxy S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted September 19, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 19, 2010 The app manager on mine reports version 10912. Within the app, it's 2.4.44.10912.t100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 19, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2010 That advert (or more properly the English version) was shown during just about every ad break over the course of the weekend's (and Monday night's) NFL games (and during a few of the breaks during FSC's Premier League broadcasts). Though Verizon's promotion of "buy a Fascinate (what Verizon is calling the Galaxy S*) and agree to a 2-year contract and we'll give you a second Android phone of your choice for free" is interesting. Pity that it's a poxy CDMA network that doesn't allow simultaneous voice and data and is slow as ****. *: because Samsung for what ever reason decided not to do the usual thing in the USA and make the phone exclusive to one carrier, the carriers instead brand the Galaxy S differently. AT&T offers the Samsung Captivate, which has 16GB of flash but no front camera or LED flash. T-Mobile calls it the Vibrant with 8GB and no front camera or LED flash. Verizon, as noted, goes with Fascinate which lacks the front camera but does have the LED flash. And Sprint is rolling one out later called the Epic 4G which will support 4G service and have the front camera with LED flash. If Sprint wasn't going their own way with their WiMax 4G system instead of LTE, I'd be seriously considering going to an Epic 4G. Does the Galaxy S have a hardware keyboard? Because Sprint's Epic 4G apparently has one and is a Galaxy S phone. Verizon also apparently disables the Android Market on the Fascinate (which isn't at all surprising), as they do for every non-Droid branded phone. You see why I **** hate Verizon Wireless?

CVByrne Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 The Sprint version of the Galaxy S is unique. It's the only one with a slide out qwerty keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Sprint seem to like the uniqueness of their phones. The HTC Evo is another phone only on Sprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 19, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2010 Probably has to do with them using their own 4G system... if you're going to have to have custom phones for that, you may as well go whole hog on making them "special".

CVByrne Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I see the Desire HD has got quadrant scores of a shade under 2000, will our galaxy s be able to to that with the froyo update? The HD still lags behind with the andrena 205 GPU at 41mil triangles to the SGX540 at 90 mil. Also I see all htc phones now use lcd screens due to a shortage of amoled. But since samsung developed and make the super amoled screens themselves galaxy s phone are still being churned out and sold by the bucket load.

mykeyb Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Anyone of you used the Tmobile Pulse as I am looking at this for an xmas pressie for my son and its a steel at £59.00 (+£10 top up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The pulse is a year old at this stage but was / is still a good phone. I read the the galaxy apollo is the best of the budget phones now available though have no idea how much you can get it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
