Okay...I will beg your forgiveness in advance if I'm completely insulting your intelligence, but you say you are enabling swype from the settings (by which I assume you mean going to "settings->all settings->personal->input)....are you selecting the swype keyboard from the little arrow popup of available input options on the soft key bar/area (where the keyboard icon is) while in the program where you actually intend to type something? I have to do that every time I soft reset or turn off the phone. It defaults to the WM keyboard every time.
