All my problems went away after I did what I guess is a real reboot, I held the volume button up while holding the powering on and selected reboot from the system screen...

While in a "text entry" field (i.e. Text message) long press within the field and select input method, then select swype.

Yes I am. Tap to scan wording is there, but it is not bold like everything else. Doesnt matter if 4g is on or not.
I just tried this and still cant stream unless using wifi. Were you having that problem also?
No, only use Pandora and an update came right after the OTA and all worked fine there.

... and like the huge n00b that I'm not... I got so excited about the update that I DIDN'T uninstall the beta of swype first.
Yeah... I don't deserve this phone. lol
I've become accustomed to ShapeWriter but not opposed to giving Swype a fair assessment... how do I rectify this?

I think I heard of folks uninstalling/rebooting... this should leave the "system" Swype on your device.
Is there any way to revert back to the software version prior to the update or root to an older rom after updating?
This release is beyond terrible: streaming audio and video no longer work; whenever a 4G connection drops, in the past it used to find it again all on its own, now, if you lose 4G, it'll tell you it found it again, but you have to wake the phone up and reconnect manually; more bloatware; for me, drops the 3G connection constantly. At a guess, the change to 4G was down to people complaining about battery use with 4G on. If you're in a 4G area, leave 4G on. If you're not, turn it off. This change basically means that those who live in a 4G area now constantly have to wake their phone to reconnect. Won't this helpful change mean our batteries will suck even more from constantly waking the phone up? How are people supposed to drive with 4G? Keep looking at the phone just incase it drops the connection?

Please Help! The update bricked my EVO, went to Sprint repair and got a new phone. The update showed up on this phone, I downloaded it but I am scared to install it. Should I take out my memory card when Install it? Please Help!
no - do not take out the memory card. just make sure your phone has a good charge and try again.
maybe try -
1. power down and power back up.
2. settings--->apps--->Gmail--->clear data cache
3. remove Gmail account from the EVO and then re-add it.
4. power down and power back up again.
5. press sync all.
6. send a test email from a non-Gmail account.
Thanks update worked, now I can finish downloading programs. I was really sad when the first update bricked my phone. I love the EVO. It is amazing. Now I have to set up new evo the way I like it.
people would have alot less issues if they simply reset storage first and then install the updated firmware / system software. Think of your EVO as a PC never do an upgrade always do a full install then do the "windows updates" then install the software like your games and all.
That was just recently posted by Android Central as well:

I wouldn't mind getting all that useless software if there was a easy way to remove it. I wounder if a class action lawsuit could be filed for preinstalling unwanted software and not being able to remove it. Kinda like microsoft was in teh whole ie installtion scandle? Yes I know I can root and uninstall the stuff, but I have not looked into rooting enough to do it. Plus I don;t want a permenant root on the phone, only long enough to uninstall the crap.
Don't know that you have cause to sue, but I have been wrong before. The update is not mandatory.
A little different from MS's nonsense, IIRC.
