Settings, Language and keyboard, press current keyboard, then press choose keyboards and turn TouchPal off
If it's anything like the G4, you cannot disable the default keyboard.
I hope it isn't like the G4 in that aspect.

That doesnt work since the switch for Touchpal is greyed out. I can deactivate the other keyboard ive installed, just not Touchpal.

What's the other keyboard? I can turn TouchPal off on mine. Is the other keyboard enabled? If only one keyboard is enabled, you can't disable it.

Like jollywhitefoot, I can turn TouchPal off, as described. My other keyboard is Swiftkey, and interestingly, I had not been receiving any annoying prompts before I turned off TouchPal, which I only did just now.

That notification always comes up... because you always have Google Voice text as well... the only way I know how to eliminate the nag requires root

Touchpal is the default 10 keyboard?! ?

The other keyboard is "Multiling O Keyboard +Emojii". This is what i see in the screen where i activated this one, is there another way to open this menu than going through the Multiling O Keyboard app?
You need to download a keyboard to turn off touchpal. Change the default keyboard then go back then you can disable it iirc.

"TouchPal with HTC Sense".
I was sad to see the Sense keyboard go. IMO it has always been king of Android keyboards. Wished I could have put it on my tablets throughout the years.
That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way we could get the Sense keyboard back on the 10?
One of the things I love most about my M7..

As you can see im using Multiling O Keyboard, which is a keyborad available in the Playstore. What do you mean by "Change the default keyboard", im allready using my custom keyboard for writing.
You turn on the keyboard back and then make it default. Then go back into where you turn on and off the keyboard then you can turn off touchpal.

I dont get what you want to show me. My current situation in detail:
1. Factory fresh HTC 10
2. I download Multiling O Keyboard
3. I enable it in the screen with the sliders.
4. I set my used keyboard to MOK, so i will start typing on with it whenever i select a text field.
5. When i select a text field i get a notification in the notification bar that lets me choose the keyboard i want to use, Touchpal and MOK being the options.
6. I try to disable Touchpal in the slider menu (which i reach by a button in the notification), but its slider is greyed out. I can disable MOK without problems, though.
Try doing it through the settings and not the slider. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but that worked from me. Based on what you typed that the only difference. I didn't use the notification shade route.

What do you mean "through the settings and not the slider"? Touchpal isnt in the apps menu, so i cant disable it there.
I didn't access the settings through the notification shade like you did.
I did everything from the settings itself.
I tapped
Settings
Language and keyboard
Current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned on keyboard
Back once
Changed current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned off keyboards
That worked for me and I don't get anything in the notification shade because I only have 1 active keyboard.

The very first reply to your original post explains what you need to do. Go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, Current Keyboard, Choose Keyboards and then turn off Touchpal. Don't access this menu via the slider notification as you have previously stated. If Touchpal is still greyed out, try to download another keyboard temporarily and see if you then get the option.

Whats with the "select input method" notification every time the keyboard is showing? It shows and hides, but is really annoying.

If you set either voice recognition to automatic or turn it off, the notification will go off. It's under settings>language&input> google voice typing.

Doesn't remove it for me either way. Automatic or off.

What rom?

I found it out.
Go to settings>language&input>android keyboard options>vocal text immission and set it to off.
I don't see a "vocal text imission" in my nexus settings. Neither of these worked. Any other suggestions? I'm using Ultra Keyboard but I don't think it's a setting in there.
if you have any other keyboard installed, it will always show up because android is moving away from the "tap-and-hold" gestures. If all you have is the Google speech and the android keyboard, it should not show up in notifications

removing all the other keyboards removes the icon. (you might need to root your phone for that). i had to uninstall google text-to-speech and the samsung keyboard (i'm on a galaxy s2 but removing the icon is the same across all phones)
the ROM AOKP has a feature that allows you to hide this notification.
This worked for me on the Nexus S:
To get rid of stupid “select input method” notification
reboot to recovery
mount /system
in terminal, type “adb shell”
cd /system/app, rm OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk

I used Root Explorer, worked great. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry to bump an oldish thread, but here are the steps I followed to succesfully get rid of this annoying notification on my Xperia Ray:
Check the notification to see what keyboards are active.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the keyboards (other than the one you use, obviously).
Some keyboards might not show up in Titanium Backup. For these, use something like Root Explorer or adb to find them in system/app and delete them. For me, this was the Xperia Japanese Keyboard.
Make sure Google Voice Input is unchecked in Language/input settings.
Restart phone.
Voila, no more input method notification.
how about setting your "default keyboard" to the one you want to use and not to google's keyboard?

It says XT9. It is telling you your keyboard is in T9 predictive text mode
ProBAM Power
That is no bug...
That is supposed to be that way and it does not miss-align the keyboard.
That is the exactly as it is on EVERY HTC phone and it should be that way...
If you look at your PC's keyboard you'll see that the a is slightly offset relative to the q...

You would have to turn off all references to prediction in the keyboard settings. Or just install another keyboard from the play store

I'd download either:
SwiftKey - Best for rapid typing with great auto correct
Swype Keyboard - Great for those who enjoy using the swype/flow features in Android (not having to lift finger off to type)
Kii Keyboard (Has multipurpose keys and has a number pad which I liked) above the keyboard [BEST FOR TABLETS]
They are my 3 favorite, in that order.
Bro chill... My keyboard does to... It says ViperX+ cuz that's the Rom I'm running but its nothing

Hi All,
Just switched from S4 to the ONE. Everything is great except for one thing that I've noticed. I don't mind the stock keyboard, but I prefer Swype a lot better. I installed Swype and chose it as default keyboard, however, upon reboot, the keyboard switched back to the stock keyboard. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, how did you fix this issue and choose the default keyboard as there is no option under settings and Language and Keyboards
I also had this problem and it looks like Swype is aware of it and are looking for the fix...
In the mean time.. After the reboot, open any method of typing ( I use the txt message window to any recent contact ) and once the keyboard is displayed, pull down the bar from the top (that has the time stamp). You will see a Choose input method box. Click on it and Select the Swype - Swype + Dragon option and you are back up and running. Happy swyping.
I switched to the Google keyboard because this was annoying me about Swype. I think the Google keyboard is actually better at swiping in general... Except punctuation. I also use "*" often and it's buried on the Swype keyboard.

First select the keyboard of your choice, disable fast boot (settings, power) reboot, check that you still have the desired keyboard, enable fast boot. It should persist after that.
Hi folks,
I am unable to switch keyboards. I am running the stock (rooted) Lollipop ROM. I have installed both Google keyboard and Swiftkey, the option to change keyboard only gives me the stock HTC keyboard in the settings. How do I force the switching of keyboards?
Bump.

After downloading Swiftkey, did you open the app? It should give you the option to and send you to the settings needed automatically to make it your default keyboard.
Swiftkey will walk you through the steps to enable it under settings then changing the default keyboard.

Yep, I did that and the option to change keyboard just lists the one (HTC) keyboard. It's almost like the fact the app is installed isn't registered by the system. See attached.

At least you found it
My other half installed SwiftKey as she prefers it, which is fine, but how do I change it back?! I don't want to uninstall SwiftKey but I can't work out how to switch the keyboard.
During SwiftKey installation there was a popup which asked you to change your keyboard but I can't find out how to being that menu back up.
Running 8.1
Driving me crazy, shouldn't be that hard should it?!

I can add different language etc but I can't work out how to change what the default is!
It makes no sense to me, I just want to select what keyboard to use.
Whatever I select it still says SwiftKey in the settings.
@teapea: Beneath your used keyboard tap + manage keyboards
Ok, but how do I select the default? In manage keyboards, 3 are turned on, gboard, voice, and SwiftKey. The default is SwiftKey.
I just want to set the default gboard, no SwiftKey.
So keep the 3 turned on so I can change between them, but select the one which is currently used.
