Help Yes another "swype doesn't work after 2.2" question

Swype worked fine for me before I received the 2.2 update on my Droid Inc last week, but now it doesn't. I've tried the following, as recommended in many other posts:

1) uninstall and reinstall swype
2) switch text input method to default keyboard and then back to swype
3) hard re-set phone

and none works in restoring swype. Oddly, in the "settings/language and keyboard" menu, swype is checked as enabled, but in actuality it isn't.

Has anyone got swype to work on the Inc w/2.2, and how?

Thanks,
 
I had the same problem on my Droid Incredible and reinstalled the software and still could not get it to work. I launched Swype tutorial and when it showed how to select Swype as the default input and asked if I wanted to do it I selected yes and it started working. I'm not saying it's a working solution for everyone, but it worked for me. Good luck.
 
did u go to settings>keyboard & language>select swype? then go to input setting and chosing swype. If you did that and it doesnt work try another swype build, there are a few differnt ones out there.
 
As this is a question in regards to the DInc, i moved this to the support and troubleshooting section for the incredible section of the forum as you will get better exposure and results there.
 
I uninstalled and reinstalled Swype from a fresh download after the OTA update, but haven't done a hard reset. Swype works most of the time, but once a day or so I lose the ability to "swipe" with it (i.e. it just works like a normal keyboard) unless I select another input method and then go back to Swype. Anybody found a fix for this? I'd hate to do a hard reset just for that unless it has been confirmed to solve this particular problem.

Edited to add: According to the Swype forum, this is a known problem that they are working on. Doesn't look like a hard reset will help - if I'm interpreting things right, it has something to do with the way Froyo manages memory.
 
Oh this is good info. I've been uninstalling and re-downloading Swype. Now all I have to do is toggle Input Methods! Thanks!!!
 
Same here. Multiple times a day have to switch back to default ten back to swype input in order to get back swiping ability.
 
There is a version available with the Microphone now. It was actually built for the EVO but works fine on the Incredible. I have not had any issues with it not working one I re-installed it.
 
Got an email this AM with a link for an updated Swype beta. It's working fine so far, but it'll take a few days to really tell.
 
I installed swype on my evo and selected swype in the keyboard setting but there is no swype option in input?
