Using Swype on HTC one

[dazjb]

Has anybody managed to get this working on the HTC one?

I've downloaded the installer and installed it. It shows as 'On' in the settings but when I use the keyboard anywhere the standard HTC one pops up

I know the One had trace typing but I prefer Swype, just can't figure out how to get it to work.

Cheers

I don't have a One, but try this: once the keyboard is up, look at the notification bar. If there is a keyboard logo, go ahead and pull down the notification tray and select it. A popup list of your keyboards should show up. Select swype and enjoy.

I would be surprised it doesn't work. You just have to find out how to get it active.

I went to SETTINGS / POWER / USAGE DETAILS / HTC SENSE INPUT and Forced Stop it. (Long Hold and then select FORCE STOP)

After that, I immediately went to whatsapp to bring out a keyboard and I could then select Swype from the default keyboard

Try it!

(I believe there are other ways to FORCE STOP the keyboard like by going into Apps)

Swype for me is the only keyboard I like. I have tried a bunch of them, but Swype is the only one that does what I like.

Bang on the money ... you have to select it from the notification bar once you are typing in a text box. Swype now enabled

To be fair the trace keyboard on the One is pretty good but Swype is better.

Cheers for the replies

I'm glad to hear y'all got it working. Swype is all I use. Surprised it wasn't on the phone out of the box.

Swype Beta is also working on the One.

 

[Xsie]

Yup got it working here too. Although the stock isn't so bad either.

I tried this, but it didn't let me switch to the Swype keyboard. Also, my unlock screen looks different, even after a reboot.

Swype using that dragon software for voice is a deal breaker for me.

Glad you got it working. I've been using it since it went out of beta on my One... I love it.

I'm actually digging the native trace function on the one
