I will miss Swype. Any one else has the same problem? It was stock, just updated to 2.2 over the air, and 1st thing I noticed is Swype was trashed. It's there, but won't do anything....
reinstall it. It works fine on 2.2 but it needs to be reinstalled.

Thanks for the Tip!
Re-install did the trick!

ha ha. Good advice. I installed it again. It works. hopefully it's the only application that needs to be reinstalled.
I lost my news feeds as well. The News application was replaced by a strange weather/news application. I liked the old one better.
Nothing compares to the new Accuweather application, the problem is that it crashes on Evo, but it has hourly weather and the HTC weather doesn't.
Thanks. Swype working again.
The old news is still there... pheeww! It was just wiped off my screen after the installation....
mine has both the news and the news/weather app. Love how swype has to add an attachment or send next to where you text instead of having to go to the menu to do this.

After registering for the swype beta and installing in my N1, every time i restart my phone i get the message "The Swype package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality. Please contact Swype about this issue."
I have no problem with this message, as i just click ok once and it goes away, but i'm curious -- is swype not natively for the n1?
The initial installer released is faulty, supposedly. I got the same pop-up you did, redownloaded installer, reinstalled, and no longer see the warning.
really? i installed swype this less than 12 hours ago...
i've since removed swypeinstaller but left swype on. could that be it?

Uninstall both, go to https://beta.swype.com/android/get on your phone and try again?
Works fine for me.
I got the same message when switching from Desire ROM to CM. Uninstalled the main and installer, reinstalled and it's fine now.
Consider the hoops you have to go through to get the final 4mb+ apk, I imagine they're testing some security options with the beta.

I can confirm. Got the installer late last night, started having problems this morning, uninstalled, re-downloaded installer and now no problems.
I had the same "configured for another device" error.
Uninstalled. Reinstalled as per instructions above. Worked fine until reboot. Same error, and now it only works as a touch keyboard.
Uninstalled again, and reinstalled again, and again, works fine until reboot.
Thoughts?

you don't need to uninstall/install to get it to work again. just open an input window (e.g., search, txt msg), select a different input method, type a few letters and then reselect Swype (as your input method) and you're good to go until your next reboot. i hope this is fixed soon!

I had the same problem and felt it wasn't worth the bother and uninstalled.
Fooey.
I had the dodgy version and really missed it when that stopped. I'm glad they've done an official Beta now.
I'm just hoping when it's done, they don't put some silly price tag on it, like £14.99 or something.

Even if they do, just don't update
I'm pretty sure it's not possible to remotely deactivate someone's app

If it was on the Market and that's how it was installed then yes you can but in this situation it's a moot point.
Currently aren't all users registered and using it through an account? I would think it's quite easy to then just block and account...?
so is it possible to use the same swype beta account on more than one device simultaneously without having access remotely terminated?

No, in addition if you change ROMs or hardware it may block your account. I switched phones to the N1 in Jan and had to email swype to have my account reset. They told me if you switch hardware it is a block, and if you switch ROMs too often and reinstall it may get blocked. I think every time you use the installer it counts down from an allocation amount on swype's servers. They suggested using a backup program like Titanium if you will be switching ROMs often.
Repair invalidated Swype
I recently had a major repair completed on my N1 ... I believe they replaced the motherboard.
Anyway, after this repair, Swype will not install. Says it is not the device I registered.
I did not know you can email them and have your account reset. I will try that.
hi guys..
I have updated to DC 2.08 and almost everything is perfect.
my problem is with Handcent. It will not show the images of my friends. I have tried uninstall Handcent.. reload.. rebooting. I have deleted ALL text messages, but new messages do not show images.
I tested with the stock sms app, and it shows the images!!!!!
Anybody have a fix for this???
Also... I heard that this new ROM will remove the annoying .. double menu - pop up- on thing. ie. when you press menu twice to wake up the phone... the menu pops up. But it is still there!!!
Love the ROM, fast and stable. these are my only issues.. so I am hopping someone can point me to the fix.
Thanks all!
I have the same issue. Sometimes it happens randomly. I don't think it has to do with the ROM in particular. It happens nearly every time I swap or upgrade ROMS or restore all my apps via Titanium after a wipe. :/
Would like to know the answer to this.

do you have Auto-Retrieve enabled in the stock mssging app?

No, I do not use friendstream. Checked it, and there is nothing in it. It says I do not appear to be logged into any sociual networks, which is correct... I currently do not subscribe to any.
yes, I do have Auto-Retrieve enabled on the stock sms app.

yeah.. been using Handcent since i got the phone back in Dec. and have used it with all sorts of ROMs and all of DC's ROMs too. DC2.08 is the only ROM that has caused this to happen.
Maybe it is time to try a different SMS app.???
Looks like I can not find a solution to correct handcent
Downloaded compsms
It is working just fine
Now I can see contact images

I had a problem on DC 2.05 I think it was where handcent wouldnt work but I think it had more to do with the update that handcent sent out I would have suggested uninstalling and reinstalling

make sure to always do the basic troubleshooting before reporting an issue. uninstalling and reinstalling is probably a good place to start. also consider a fresh wipe and reinstall of the ROM.
happy flashing!

yes.. you are 100% right!!
please reread my original post. Did the reinstallation of handcent x2. did not help.
I did not reinstall the ROM. That was a last resort for me, because I have everything setup as I want it.
It is odd that both stock app and compsms works fine, and shows the contact images. So, I am leaning towards Handcent latest update was the issue. it must be conflicting with something on my phone... maybe DC 2.08.
Anyways, CompSMS is working fine. I like Handcent better, but this OK. The new big comp widget is odd to me, not sure if I like it.

Try rebooting the phone or uninstalling the program and reinstalling it. Either one of those has always fixed it for me.
Works well for me. I've been using it for a few days now. It's almost instant. Like said above try installing the app again.
I un-installed the included app and downloaded another one and it works fast, click and sends almost immediately.

Hey guys
How does a market update work?
I mean, how do you get it... OTA? Open Market? Clear Market Data/Cache?
my friend is right next to me and he has the same exact phone (N1 2.2.1 on Fido) but the only difference is I rooted mine (rageagainstthecage) ... both have stock ROM
Well his market somehow updated itself this morning.... anything special I gotta do?
It just does it itself when it feels like it, seems to happen when downloading something from the Market. or you can just search for and download the new .apk, v2.2.7 is the latest.

Rusty, do you have to do a special procedure to install it or clearing cache/dalvik cache and replacing the apk in /system/app does the job?
Cause I installed 2.2.7 yesterday on latest CM nightly by doing what I said. It worked perfectly the first time, I could go in My Apps and browse everything smoothly. But, as soon as I installed an app, just when it finished installing, it crashed and I could never boot the market again. Although, the app itself installed fine =\
Just install it like any other app. It will work in /system/app or /data/app (where it would normally be if stock).

Really odd that mine crashes, it would NOT install normally, it gave me "Installation failed" error.
Perhaps you could point me to the exact file you used?
Thanks for the help!
Er... I used 2.2.6 and it's now auto updated to 2.2.7, I think I used this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?ilv5hshq0lgunnr

Thanks a lot mate, I'll check that one out and report back!
thanks guys, I picked up 2.2.6 and it installed just fine - I guess 2.2.7 will be updated somehow...
Also, aren't there supposed to be 5 sections in the market now? (wallpapers / widgets sections?)
They've mentioned it, but doesn't seem to be implemented yet.

They're in the 2.2.7 market that came out last week. Looking at them on my phone right now.
Maybe it's another US only thing for now or something, I've still only got "Apps", "Games" and "My apps" showing up.
Reporting back: Still doesn't work.
This really sucks, I can't understand why it would work on some people's phones by getting updated automatically and not on mine by updating manually... >_>

That's all you're supposed to have.
ahhh when they said "adding 2 categories" I thought they meant Games - Apps - Wallpapers - Widgets - My Apps
Live Wallpapers and Widgets are both found under "Apps" ... they meant THAT category...
Ah right, I just assumed it'd become a carousel with them all. Whoops.
Is anyone else finding the new market a bit slow and buggy? Even on Wifi I tend to get the loading screen quite often. Also I've been having server errors for last two days whenever I try to go to "my apps" (my downloads).

Glad to hear, I'll be waitin' then
I have a non rooted, XOOM running 3.0.1 and everything seemed to be great but for some reason when I start the CNN app from an icon it starts up fine and then a second or two later either closes or force closes everytime without fail. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I've tried rebooting the XOOM as welll. Still happens and I can't figure out why - it may have been the 3.0.1 update.
I usually use the CNN widget to launch videos/stories and that still works fine without issue. But if I try launching it with the app icon it crashes.
Anybody with 3.0.1 not having this issue? I'm not sure what else to try at this point other than to accept it's a bug and move on for now.
I had an update waiting for me in the Market this morning for CNN. Try updating and see if its still happening.
LOL, will have to wait until I get home. Hopefully that will fix it. I have to say though, the CNN app on XOOM is very slick and a better implementation than the current iPad one (although similar).
i get a lot of force closes as well. the update fixed some issues, but i still cannot play video since the 3.01 update. anyone else have this issue of videos not playing in CNN app?

Fixed!
i had the exact same problem. I couldn't keep the app open and then when it did open it wouldn't play videos. I was able to fix the issue by going into the settings, then applications, then click on the CNN app and finally click clear data. You will get a warning click OK. Now open cnn it will say opening for the first time. It should work well now, this worked flwlessly for me.
Which cnn app? I see several and want the good one
