I tried to update Swype yesterday, and haven't been able to use it since. I've tried uninstalling it, and reinstalling it, and nothing. It tries to turn on. Pops up for about half a second, but then goes to the Android keyboard. I'm using Slide it keyboard right now, but I think I still like Swype better. Anybody have any ideas how to get this working again?

nope, works great since the update for me :biggrin:
Have you tried uninstall both Swype and the installer? It sounds like it is thinking it has expired and the solution according to Swype is uninstall both, reinstall both.
Hope that helps

There is s thread in the Swype forums about this. It is related to the accessibility options in settings. You can get Swype to work by either disabling all the accessibility options (light flow is a common one) in settings or by disabling the stock android keyboard in the all apps list and then restarting your phone.
Thank you. That was the problem. I couldn't use it with light flow. I uninstalled this, turned off my android keyboard while swype was on, then reinstalled light flow. Everything is working now, but I just don't have the Android keyboard.

I just got another Swype update this evening, not sure what it did.

Same here. It seems to have added a lag to mine when the keyboard first pops up. It could be coincidence because my phone has had a mind of its own all day even after a couple of reboots. Other than the lag I haven't noticed any changes. I might go to their forum and see if there are release notes in a thread or something
Edit. Nothing there more specific than bug fixes. It was broken on a bunch of devices with 4.1.2 and didn't work on the Note 2

I've had that pop-up for a while, it started about 3 updates ago now. Annoying, but I've learned to adapt. I saw that SwiftKey is adding a 'flow' option like Swype. But it will still do the text prediction SwiftKey is known for. I will check it out and see if it works any better than Swype
If swift flow is as good as advertised it will easily dominate the aftermarket keyboard apps in short order imo.

It does look really nice, Swype has never really been that good IMO I'm only using it to adapt since 4.2 is rumored to have a "gesture input" keyboard which is swype basically from the rumor, and now with swift flow I really like the whole swiping approach.
