hey everyone, I have been searching around for 2 days and have not seen anyone else post a thread about this.
I have had this phone since monday, and at least once a day I have an issue with they keyboard not typing. even if i change the input method the keyboard does not work. the keyboard responds to my typing but it does not typing anything into the text box. Only way i have been able to get it to work again is restarting the phone.
anyone have some insight? if not i am about to go exchange my phone for a new one.
I am not rooted, completely stock, and have applied the OTA update, but this issue has been happening since before the update.
thanks
Are you opposed to wiping your phone? If not, I'd go ahead and check out the thread in development titled with (OTA SBF) by yours truly.

Hey all, tried searching for this but found no one else having this issue. I have an issue when sending a text/email or using the keyboard. Randomly while using the spacebar, the spacebar will move approximately 10 spaces and then close out of the message. It may be associated with the common Vibrant lag- that could be whats causing it. It happens with all keyboard apps - swipe, better, stock android and swiftkey. Anyone else having this issue? Its hard to describe..
Right now I have stock vibrant. Got it bricked during the ji6 update and I'll root and modify it after 2.2 is out. My PC is old and couldnt handle the odin software!
Thanks for all your help everyone!

I've had similar issues, but seemed to only occur when using a new input method or on reboot. I use swype and once I switched to the Evo swype apk, the problem stopped. Probably doesn't help your case, but I know you're not alone.
I know this may not really fix your problem but really just provide an alternative solution, you could use Swype. Swype is much faster (in my opinion), and you still have the option to type normally with it. You would have to download the beta from Swype's Website, it doesn't take too long to register for the beta.
I have had this problem too in the past. I'm just curious, do you use handcent? The only time I've really seen this happen for me is in handcent's popup windows, but I have no idea why it happens, and honestly, it doesn't happen often enough for me to want to try to figure it out. But I feel your pain, when it does happen, it's quite annoying :/
Happens to me all the time... I use Smart Keyboard Pro.
See my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132927
Wish I could figure this out. I type super fast and it's starting to get veryyy annoying.
Wow so does mine LOL I thought. I was crazy.

Ya i had major problems with this on the stock keyboard. I also had just general problems with lag sometimes in the stock messenger app, as well as receiving duplicates of text messages. I formatted the cache partition in cwr and used the gingerbread keyboard in the market and have since have had zero problems (so far lol).
Same Here!
I'm having similar issues. When I "wake" my TB up and try to go in to type a text message, email or any other thing that uses the keyboard, the keyboard shows up and allows me to type, but nothing shows up on the screen.
I've tried using the GB keyboard from the Market (which I REALLY like), but no matter what I try, I seem to have a problem. I thought it might be WidgetLocker interacting badly, but uninstalling that doesn't work. I thought it might be because I was using Go SMS Pro, but uninstalling that didn't work either. I went back to using the stock keyboard (which I really DON'T like), but to no avail. The only thing that DOES seem to work is to reboot the phone.
This is getting a little ridiculous! I don't want to have to reboot this phone every time the keyboard decides it doesn't want to work! Anyone have any advice?
Just FYI, I'm not rooted. I haven't gotten that far yet. The only thing I've done that isn't stock is to run Go Launcher as opposed to Sense. And this issue was happening when I was running Sense as well.
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.
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.
Hello,
I am curious if anyone has ever found a definitive solution to this issue that has plagued android since Gingerbread. I have been on multiple phones, multiple brands, multiple revisions of the software and have seen this issue on every single one. Here is a list of the phones I have had:
OG Droid (2.2-2.3)
Droid 2 (2.3)
Samsung Charge (2.3)
Droid 4 (2.3-4.2)
Galaxy Note 3 (4.3-4.4)
The issue is:
Your friend sends you a message and they receive a notification that you received it. However, your phone neither alerts you to a message received or shows it in your inbox. However the message IS getting to your phone, because if you install GhostlySMS it catches incoming messages that don't make it into your inbox. So I must then conclude it is a database writing error or something of the like? Is there someone that can help me? I can reproduce the issue rather easily and can grab a logcat if needed.
I am currently running a rooted Verizon Note 3 (running the stock slot, but safestrap is installed) and am getting hardly any of the texts my wife sends me, and I miss quite a few from my father. She is running a rooted Galaxy S4 with Safestrap and Eclipse ROM.
I have searched and searched but so far all I can find are a bunch of "try this, try that" or "factory reset" without any real solid fix. I would like to find a real solution, not a workaround or a factory reset (if possible). I would especially love to know the root cause.
I know I may be asking for the world here, but hoping we could pool our collective consciousnesses to squash this issue once and for all!
Thanks!

So I did a factory reset (actually I completely wiped the entire stock slot, odin'd stock MJE, and then followed Beanstown's guide to get to KK using towelroot. The issue has gone away. However I have my SMS database and so far as I can tell there is nothing wierd. But I am not a DB admin by any means.
I would love to find out why Android eventually loses its ability to reliably write new SMS to the database after a while.
Anyone have any ideas?
