Did FRG83D OTA update yesterday. Noticed that Swype was not working. It would track across keyboard but nothing would appear in text box. Uninstalled both Swype and Installer, dowloaded invite again and opened Installer. Keep getting the message "ID of this phone doesn't match registration at beta.swype.com." Tried this several times
Nothing was changed on the phone -- still original Nexus unit that Swype was installed on, as evidenced by no option to "reset" my phone info.
Hope someone here can help since Swype no longer offers e-mail support and their forums seem difficult and useless.
Any advice to get Swype going again would be appreciated.
MY PHONE IS NOT ROOTED.
I would suggest uninstalling everything and rebooting. Then, install the "Swype Installer" again and go through the process of installing Swype. After you have successfully finished, you need to wait for a dialog that will popup giving you the option to enable Swype. Click the enable button at this point. This will occur after their software has checked to make sure you are in fact in the beta.. if you dont do this, you get symptoms of what youre experiencing
I always use titanium backup, but since you're not rooted, hmmmm

Crachel -- thanks for the quick reply. Uninstalled Swype Installer and did re-boot (even went so far as to reboot by battery pull). Downloaded invite again but still get same "ID of phone doesn't match..." when trying to launch installer.
Is your phone showing registered in your Swype Account?
Swype always stops working when an Android update is applied, requiring users to reinstall it. Very annoying but I assume it's some way to keep unregistered users from using the beta.
In any case, go here to figure out whether you can just reset your ESN or if you need to contact Swype to have them do it on their end:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1353-The-ID-of-the-Phone-doesn-t-match-your-registration.
The phone info shows my Nexus One (which is correct). There is no way for me to check the ESN even when I am logged into Swype.
You are right that every OS update required a re-installation of Swype, I think I remember one time when I had to contact them to re-load the ESN. The problem now is that if you send them an e-mail they tell you to check their forum (which I've yet to find helpful).
I'll keep trying and will update this thread if I have positive results. Thanks to all for your help!

When I rebooted my phone this morning, it was essentially back to factory settings. The start-up wizard came up. All my shortcuts and widgets were back to the default and none of my apps were working.
Signing in to my google account seemed to restore most stuff. And the market still had a list of all the apps I'd installed, even if they were no longer installed. I had to uninstall and reinstall everything. Had to reset up the email app, twitter, facebook etc. SD card contents were still there.
Just to be clear, the apps weren't actually installed, they just appeared to be in the market.
This was just turning my phone on in the morning - I see no point in having it switched on all night!
Any idea what happened or why or whether it's likely to happen again??
I am sure some would like to help, however, your post is lacking many critical details:
1. Are you rooted?
2. What ROM are you on?
3. Did you install anything new or update anything yesterday?
Details, we're not magicians (ok, maybe some of the Dev's here are)...
sorry, bit of a noob!
i am not rooted, i have a stock nexus one running 2.1.1
last new thing i installed was a few days ago - a geocaching app. had normal behaviour with that installed for those few days. also have installed other updates for various apps.

No biggie, Look around at people's sigs and see how they are set up, gives much information without having to post it all the time.
As for the issue, not sure, never had this issue nor have I heard of it.
I keep having trouble updating apps. For instance now it tells me that there are 3 apps that need updating. I tell it to update, it downloads the update then it says "attention required. tap here".
I tap and it says "can't play or download. There's a problem with the license".
These are just free apps and not large and I'm not letting it lock mid update or anything like that. I've worked around it by deleting the apps reinstalling, but it keeps happening the next time it needs to update.
Any ideas?
I had a problem like this, and it's a really poor design of this page; Where it says 'attention required' on the download page, hold down and a context menu will appear with 'retry' and 'cancel'
I have retried over and over and it just never completes. I deleted the update and I restarted the phone and still the same thing.
Getting a bit annoying
Still can't update any apps. Am I the only one?
Are they trial versions? Seems to be an issue where an update is pushed out for the paid version that doesn't apply to the trial, and the update doesn't go through but you still get notified about it. That's what I've heard (secondhand) from MS support, anyway.
Thanks for the reply. I deleted just about all the apps and it looks like updates started working again. Of course when I deleted the apps it wouldn't let me reinstall apps again, even one's I've paid for. This seems to have settled down after some time and a couple phone reboots.
All in all the whole marketplace and updating thing seems like a real mess from what I have seen, even when things are working right.
I hope we get some updates sometime soon.
Thanks again

willp2, did the apps reinstall when you synced your phone or did you have go to marketplace to redownload them? I'm having the same problem. Except one of the apps is one I purchased but never got to download because of the error.
I had to re-download them. It wouldn't let me at first, but after rebooting the phone I was able to redownload from the phone. I was never able to reinstall from the Zune desktop.
I did a search through the forum, and looked at the original topic, but didn't seem to find anyone else experiencing this problem.
I am running DJ05, and I downloaded the file called "uber_market.zip" I found on XDA to allow me to upgrade to the new market. I then flashed it in clockwork. I also got rid of the bloatware on my phone by renaming (not deleting) certain applications through Root Explorer. I noticed that when I pressed the the search button in the market nothing happened (didn't pop up the keyboard), nor did it work by pressing the soft key from the home screen, or in the browser. I went back and restored everything I had done one at a time, eventually getting back to the base installation. I then added all the changes back one at a time. The search function worked with every mod until I came to flashing the new version of the market. Has anyone else experienced this, or know a fix? I really like the new market, but it's really hard living without being able to search on anything! lol
Thanks in advance...

On further review, I think I was mistaken. It looks like it's the new Google Maps update that's causing the problem. I had it set to update automatically and didn't notice the installation at first so it looked like it was the market doing it. Last night I tried re-installing search after the map update completed, but it still wouldn't work, so I started over after setting the map update to manual and the search function worked fine again in the market. If anyone else is experiencing this, let me know! I hope they get this fixed soon!
Ok first of all lt me start by saying I did search this, but couldn't find anything relating directly to my problem. So now I will ask here. A couple days ago I went into the market browsing apps. I didnt even install anything but I got the updates pending notification. So I go into the my apps screen and choose the update all method. Now I know this usually works kind of half way because I have some custom themed apps on my phone that won't update because I didn't install them through the market (I think). Anyway they all download fine but when the actual download completed they all just sort of paused and had that horizontal scrolling effect you see just before it starts the actual install, which I've gotten before just never with all of them at once. Anyway what I usually do is just cancel the download and start it up right there after the cancelling. This time I did it and it immediately force closed on me. And wouldnt even let me open the market at all w/o fc'ing. I've tried several different market apk's and only with the most recent update I found could I open the market at all. But even then it still force closes when I click an app to review it. Any ideas how I might troubleshoot this? Logs to look at or somethin? Help?
cd's or tapes?
Go to 'manage applications' and clear data/cache for both market and market update.
I couldn't find the market update apk for my rom. (Epic experience, rfs, froyo, btw..) but I did it for the market one and it had no effect.
cd's or tapes?
Try clearing data for 'download manager'

Still a no go. Do you think if I try a different google account?
cd's or tapes?
I'm out of ideas, the things I suggested have always worked for me, but I was not getting FC's. If I were you I'd wipe cache/dalvik and re-flash the ROM, you won't lose data.
Ok this happened to me a few roms ago. What worked for me was to open the google talk app, login to it, and that re synced my google account info with the market app. And then downloads would actually start downloading. I read this solution in a thread and forget the orig. poster or i would cite him. Hope it works for you.
Edit: after re reading your pos I think I might of jumped the gun on my reply. Maybe this won't work for you.

Its cool guys I ended up reflashing.. I had to update my rom anyway I guess. Thanks for the help though every little bit counts.

Has anyone else had the problem where you're browsing the market on your a500, click to download an app, and it simply doesn't download?
About 70% of the time (conservative estimate) the "taskbar" shows that an app is downloading, but the "My Apps" panel in the market doesn't show that download. If I leave it alone, the taskbar reports that the download completed, but I don't see the app anywhere. I also noticed that if I'm browsing the market on my PC and I send an app to be downloaded on my tablet, if the "My Apps" panel isn't open on the tablet, the app will not download.
I'm running the stock OTA 3.1 ROM.
I get that a lot. I am forced to hit back and then select install or download the app a 2nd time. Not sure why.
I have always had this same problem ,even after updates from the Market. I hate the Market. It turns into a major thing just trying to download anything. It's very frustrating and takes 10 minutes of trying, trying again, cussing, connection time outs. Its pretty bad when we have a Android device and its a Android market and they still can't get it right. Maybe it's a Honeycomb thing? Maybe they should call apple and get some advice?

common issue
Go into settings
Application
Manage applications
Browse to the market app
Clear app data.
This will sometimes fix that issue but only for a while
Worked for me
Good luck
I've had the same problem. Running Taboonay custom ROM version 2.0.
market
Same here have had that problem and so does wife. I get a kick out of wife she gets frustrated and impatient and swears at it.....lmao
So for a while there I was having the same issue. I went into clock work recovery and wipe dcache and battery stats and now all is well again. I would recommend that.

My issues seems to be that when I try to pull down an app, it tells me that it is unable to purchase. And suggestions?
I've had that a few times where I couldn't purchase an app. I found that purchasing through the online market works fine and auto-installs into the right device. It might have something to do with the lack of phone and IMEI number; could be wrong though.
Also, buying stuff with my phone then installing on my tablet works fine.
Go to settings applications Tonto market app then clear . Simple fix. Simple fix
Tried all this stuff still dont work
So i tried all this stuff and it still wont even download anymore it just FC when i click the my apps button FC this is really annoying. Went to market on pc it even says the app is installed on my device and it is soooooo not. Saw on another thread someone said Google was blacklisting users they know are rooted which i think is just dumb and dont believe, who cares what we do to the device we are still running android and want to purchase apps from the store. super lame well gonna try few other things then guess reinstall rom and kernel and see if that helps thank got for titanium backup
