[Q] Why Can't I Activate Swype To Unlock? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The option for none and Swype are greyed out. Currently, I have the fingerprint option active. How do I disable it to activate just Swype?

Anyone?

I know there was another thread or post about this recently but I can't seem to find it. And there was a definite solution. Try to search for it. I'll do the same.

n00b lol. it's there to allow you to change what keyboard you're using. if you know you specifically want to use one and never change it then disable the rest of them in language and input under settings and it'll disappear.

It's part of ICS. Was a little odd to see at first, but a handy way of switching keyboards. I suggest you get used to it cause future versions might still have this as part of the OS.

Just search the threads for how to root your phone. Its easy takes about 10-15 minutes not even. Then after you have root, download the app from the play store and uninstall anything you want, just be careful not to uninstall the wrong thing.

Use this application: "Root-App uninstaller" from Google Play and click on SYS App and you will see it there, first disable it and then click RECYCLE and then click the app again to uninstall it. Hit thanks please!

Get “OK Google” on any launcher, on any screen!!!

found this article and wanted to share with those who don't know about it..This fix was originally found by Redditor xStreame, and it was then expanded upon and reposted by pr01etar1at:
Open Google Now
Search for “OK Google everywhere”
Click any link [may be unnecessary but I did it]
Back out to Google Now
Go to Settings>Voice
Audio History and Anywhere Detection should now be available as settings.

You hit a box in your accessibility settings. Check to make sure its not enabled in there.
