Also, swype 1.56 prevents my phone from sleeping. I had to wipe my phone three times to determine this.. that was a pain.

To add to the topic. I have NEVER liked HTC's build quality.. period. They are the Chevy of smartphones IMHO. I had a Samsung i730. it was build like a tank. Still works to this day.
I'm running a 1.56 revision - I also haven't had an issue with it not sleeping.. BUT I am on OMJ's ROM with 2.2. Maybe it's an issue with the "stock" 2.2 version.

I know it wasn't working for me at all after I updated to 2.2. So after digging through some forums, someone suggested uninstalling BOTH the swype installer and the swype app. Then resend your beta email to yourself and re-download the app and install it.

I'm on the beta list so I'm not using the one from XDA --- but try getting rid of the installer and app and then install it all again. See if that does it.
