how do you get swype working...i've installed it but cant access it - phone is the desire

has anyone got it to work on the desire - which version do you have?

I've tried loads of different versions and they all say my version is incorrect as it doesn't support 800*480

Have a read through this thread. The instructions have been posted more than once

Your update may be set to 3 hours - try changing it to 1hr.

Yeah it was on 1 hour, even said foggy and 0 degrees when I refreshed too.

I like one called "Weather Widgets", it uses Nordic weather service but I find it to be about as accurate as most websites. Good range of widgets also.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

Now that Seesmic has made a widget I've moved away from Twicca.

It's a youtube video, works fine for me in ie/chrome/firefox.

Anyone know why I might be struggling to download apps from the market? I could do it last night at home fine, but I've come to work and for some reason I can browse the Internet and the Market okay, but when I choose to download something it just says 'Starting download' and goes no further. (It's a Desire and it's my first day )

Try starting Google Talk. Mine did this and started downloading as soon as Google Talk was started. I had disabled mine starting up automatically!

Got Swype working on the Desire with this version:
Swype-SwypeReference-WVGA-trial-release.1.16.12.5228.219-nix.apk

Does this actually expire then?

Instructions on how to get the Nexus Launcher2 onto a Desire

This will also work for Legends, and other 2.1 handsets, but not for 2.0 or lower AFAIK.

Hi does anyone have an excel application like documents to go installed? Could they give me some feedback? I am looking to get either an iphone or desire for keeping track and calculating my diabetes. So need a quick snappy excel application. I believe there is only one for android but loads for iphone so hoping that the android one is good. Thanks
