How could I disable default Xperia Keyboard?

Heresy — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:40:38 GMT

Although the new Xperia Chinese keyboard in ICS is much better than before, It's still hard to input punctuation...

So I install Swype Beta again.

After this, I found that I can't uncheck the default keyboard?!

Is there any way to disable the default Xperia keyboard?

Why do you want to disable?

Select Swype Beta as the default input, when asked.

are u rooted, if yes then use titanium/sdmaid to uninstall uselesskeyboards. if not then try clicking on the adjacent icons to the keyboards to see if there are any disabling options.

Did you try doing it with settings>All apps>disable? If not working like that too then i guess you cant at least not without root access.

Hi!

For security reason you cannot deactivate default Xperia keyboard from Android's Language & input menu. If you open your custom keyboard application (e.g. 'Swype beta') it's inform you what need to do. You are able to activate favourite keyboard from this keyboard application only.

Cheers,

Hi there,

I disabled the Xperia keyboard App (default) by mistake and by doing so, I cannot do anything on my phone except pressing the external buttons. Please help me re-install the Xperia keyboard App into my Xperia M2.

Please help!

Sincerely,

Louise
