got 2.2 OTA, but cant use Swype

[hydro556]

I got my OTA this morning, noe I cant use Swype. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. It is selected in my Keyboards. What should I do first?

ETA- Disregard, got it working. Swype runs fine with my 2.2 OTA

I have the same issue, uninstalled and reinstalled Swype and the keyboard even comes up, just won't allow me to actually "swype", I have to tap the letters just like with the regular keyboard. Any ideas here? I know it is beta so maybe just have to wait for new version?

Swype has closed the beta, the beta has expired.
You cannot use Swype anymore.

well, that sucks. I guess I will have to try another one of the keyboards. Kinda liked Swype, too.

Same thing happened to me. I uninstalled Swype, then used the Installer to reinstall it. I had to do it 5 times, but it worked.

I DL'd Swiftkey, but it looks like it expires on the 20th, lol

LOL, once I got Swiftkey installed, I deselected it and reselected Swype, now I am rocking swype again, LOL.

Bad info on forum. Swype rules, LOL./

The reinstall worked for me Swype now works fine. I have been in the beta for awhile the beta is just closed to new users. You can still use your beta link to download the app if you were in before it closed.

I for one, DID search the forum, are you the self proclaimed forum boss today? Maybe be a little nicer and just point to the post where the answer is.

I'm running Skyraider 2.5.2 with Blue Raider v.2 theme. For that Theme he has Swype. I downloaded it and it runs just fine on my phone! So i'm not sure if you wanted you could probably just use his version of swype!

Somethings that corrects the problem of losing Swype (not with the 2.2 upgrade though). Select another keyboard, use it a tiny bit then select Swype again.
