Problem with HTC One Mini

Supatramp

Just got an HTC One Mini, and trying to install an alternative keyboard. Is there a compatability problem with Android 4.3?

I've tried free Smart keyboard which is running fine on my old phone, a Sony Xperia P, and also free Perfect keyboard, but although both install ok, neither will activate. Smart says a long press in a text input box should activate it, but it doesn't!

Any help would be appreciated.

My girlfriend uses Swiftkey with no probs. Have you activated it in the settings? In the language and input section.

Thanks, but don't want a swype style. And yes, the keyboard is 'on' in "Language & keyboard".

Phone just upgraded to 4.4 KitKat, but still no change.

In fact, having had a quick run through the settings there doesn't seem to be any difference between Jelly Bean and KitKat!

There are many differences but it depends upon the phone model / Plus a lot of 4.4 is under the hood .

You of course have the Samsung version rather than pure Android .
