[Q] Problem with several keyboards

I have a problem with several keyboards on Android. After I install a new keyboard everything works OK. After a few days however the keyboard won't pop up when i select a textbox (for example in Messages). I can still switch keyboards and all other keyboards will still work (If they worked before). The only thing that helps is re-installing the keyboard.
This has happened with SwiftKey, Swype, and SlideIT.
Phone: HTC Desire
ROM: Android 2.3.5 Oxygen 2.2.2 (but has happened with every Oxygen I've had and with CM7)
Soo How do I stop the keyboards from not working?
Nobody has any idea to fix this problem?
Is original android keyboard working?

You could try a few other keyboards and see if you get better luck. I've not experienced the same thing as you on my Desire HD.
I currently use the MIUI Android rom.
Standard keyboard and Thumb Keyboard seem to be the only keyboards that consistently keeps working, everything else just stops after some time.
I looked around on Google but I could not find anything. I think this is a bug in Android, I'm going to try a different ROM and see if that helps.
i have tried most keyboards, I really have as its so important. I settled on SlideIT as this has swipe and a quick toggle between swype on and off, and all the right characters are where you need them. My keyboard had never failed me, so I wonder if you need to clear the data and/ or do a hard reset.

I tried everything, I tried clearing data, clearing cache, re-installing ROM, and 3 different ROMs, but nothing works!!! My only hope is that Android 4.0 fixes this, but as you know the HTC Desire Custom ROM is still in early beta.

[Q] Why is my keyboard inserting random smiley faces??

I am getting very frustrated with my phone. When I am texting my keyboard randomly inserts smiley faces. I have narrowed it down to when I press the Q on the keyboard. However it happens all the time and is really annoying. Anyone got any advice how I can fix this.
Are you able to switch to different keyboards and experience the same problem?
It only happens on the keyboard that comes on eclipse. The other one I try.. swype doesn't do it but I don't like the swype keyboard. Guess im gonna have to find another keyboard.
Well I just installed ics keyboard and it still happens this is annoying as hell.

Was the keyboard working successfully at one point and then all the sudden, stopped working as expected?
Before you go installing other apps, etc I'd suggest making a nandroid backup. That way if you do quite a bit to the phone before finding how to fix it, you can restore the phone to your current state and then apply the fix.
Once you make a backup, I'd suggest wiping the cache to see if something got stuck. It might not fix the issue at all but if it doesn't, you can restore from the backup anyway.
Also, is your sig correct, you're running Eclipse 1.2?
Well its been happening for a while now don't remember what caused it. I'm actually running 1.3 right now need to change that.
Actually I'm running ics keyboard and its not happening anymore. So hopefully it doesn't happen anymore.

Same here man... It is happening a lot less since I upgraded to the ICS keyboard. Might want to try that. However it still happens like once or twice a day. Better than 100.

[Q] How to Disable/Remove Sense?

I dont have a problem with sense or anything, I just like to have options and I really like the look of stock Android.
I havent found a solution as to why I cant flash Cyanogenmod 9/10 betas yet (keeps aborting installation), so I need to do this without flashing a new ROM.
Im currently running viperROM IC3D Beta 3. Im not sure if its promoted to be stable, but so far it is for me. And its also using Sense 3.6 so it should be the same if I was running the stock ICS OTA update, I assume.
So is there a way to disable/remove sense without installing a new ROM?
A launcher wont do it for me. All that does is change the home screen, not the actual shell of the OS.
Thanks is advance!
Get a new phone, or change your rom.
Since sense is integrated, you need a whole new rom if you dont want it.
The only thing you can disable with sense is the sense launcher.

I figured that was the case. I just wasnt sure because I know that it was possible on the EVO 4G. But thanks anyway.

There are some desensitizing scripts out there that you can find and tailor to your needs, but I would just find a ROM that is already desensitized. Some people swear by the scripts; others have issues getting them to work right.

Sense 3.0 for my S3

Not sure where to ask this but im looking to put the Sense 3.0 keyboard on my S3. The S3 board sucks and I LOVED the one I had on my Thunderbolt. I have tried a few different options using both apks and flashable keyboards and they do not work. The one i flashed did nothing and the apk kept force closing. Anybody have the files I need to make this work?

Probably it is a matter releated to HTC's framework.
Thats what I figured the problem was I just didnt know if someone had ported it or anything.

It is framework dependant since after HTC desire. I really missed my HTC_IME_mod for HTC desire. The ONLY keyboard that ever felt close to HTC for me was Smart Keyboard Pro. The thing is, the Desire was an older Sense keyboard so I'm not sure how similar to the 3.0 keyboard it is, but give the trial a go.
I used to use the HTC_IME_MOD keyboard and I used it on both my Captivate with AOSP and my old Aria on Cyanogenmod.
I used to like that keyboard. But I like Google's AOSP keyboard now.

[Q] Message Editing Driving Me Insane!

Ok so I'm having this problem no matter what keyboard I use that whenever I edit a word in a message or note, etc, Android duplicate the word every time I hit the spacebar and it's driving me insane because it ruins my message and I can't stop it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using google keyboard at the moment but have the same issues on the stock keyboard, as well as swiftkey, which means its the OS. I'm rooted on Venom ROM, but had the same issues before I rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Anyone?

I had the same issue using Perfect Keyboard from the Play Store, both on Stock Rom and on Viper Rom. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work, wipe data didn't work, even showed the issue right after a clean install (full wipe). Don't know the cause but I begrudgingly switched back to using HTC stock keyboard and no problems for over a month. I miss using the volume keys for moving the cursor, but I hated this issue even more...
Perhaps let the dev know and see if they can isolate the issue, otherwise use a different keyboard? Sorry can't help, but you're not the only one that's see the issue!
Good luck!

I had the issue even on the stock rom before root IIRC. I use google keyboard, but believe the issue was the same even using swiftkey. There has to be some bug in the OS that is causing this, but I've literally tried everything to no avail.
