Hey guys,
I've been having some keyboard issues for a while now and it's really starting to bug me. I'm currently on BAMF 2.1, but I've used various iterations of BAMF and I was even experiencing the same problem on CM7. Whenever I install a new ROM I do a complete wipe 3x and lately I haven't even been restoring data on my apps.
When typing, certain letters just don't work. It's really odd. I can sit there and tap tap tap away, and it may take like 6 taps to get a letter to work. At first I thought it was my screen, but I experience NO issues with the screen anywhere else but typing. The fact that what letters don't work often change (both in landscape AND portrait) also makes me think that it's not the screen.
I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro with a DX skin (had a DX before this and loved the keyboard), but I've even switched to the market version of the GB keyboard and experienced the same problem.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't always happen. I could go half a day with no issues, but then it pops up and it's pretty persistent.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's really starting to become a problem.
I have experienced maybe something similar. Since I flashed gingerbread ( my keyboard sometimes locks up. There's usually a delay of 3 seconds before it picks up. I'm using swift but it has happened on swype and the stock keyboard.
Happens to me, exact same problem but it also happened on my inc so I'm not too worried lol it IS annoying but doesn't last for an extended amount of time

Text input will randomly stop working on my Eris, the autocorrect sees that I'm inputing text and offers suggestions but the text doesn't show up in the text box. This is happening with every keyboard I've tried including; HTC IME, HTC IME MOD, Shapewriter, and stock keyboard. This also is happening on all roms I've tried; KaosFroyo, Sensable, Evil Eris, and CyanogenEris.
After dealing with this problem since I've had my phone in December I finally decided to look for a fix, but I can't find anything on this forum or from any Google searches. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or have a way to fix it?
A bit of a development...
After paying more attention to this I have noticed that whenever this occurs my phone is actively uploading and/or downloading on an analog connection, or at least that is what it says in the notification area....
Same problem on my rooted Eris, running XtrRom3.0.3. Doesn't happen very often but would like to know if there is a fix.
Hi,
I have a problem when typing text on my x10 mini. The problem occurs when i want to change to an other word, and presses the little arrow so the drop down window appears. Or should appear, because sometimes that doesnt happen.
The box with the 2 most used words and the arrow, just dissapears and i have to deselect and select the word again to give it an other try. I sent my phone off to repair, and they replaced the whole screen, but still the same problem.
I found a few others on a danish forum with the same problem, but no solution. So i hoped that 2.1 would fix this. Debranded yesterday and installed 2.1, and still the same issue.
Is this a common (software)problem?
Or something hw related so it can be fixed?
Nobody that types on their phone?
The stock keyboard is pretty poor. I too have a similar problem selecting words.
Why don't you try another keyboard?

I have the EXACT same problem.
The reason why I don't switch to another keyboard is because this is the only one that I have tried that when pressed does not allow you shuffle through the other keys thus dramatically increasing my accuracy and speed.
The error only happens once per writing session.. In my case that is!

Thanks for the reply guys. I like the stock keyboard layout, and for me the screen is to small to use any other.
Im suppriced that its apparently a pretty common problem. Seems strange that it hasent been fixed, and the carrier and Xperia support also said that they had never heard about this problem before.
So im finally so mad about this, so threw the branded firmware back on and found the box to the phone, and off to repair once again it is. Cant see why SE dont fix it. Well okay, the one or two coders they have, has probably been busy with the 2.1 upgrade
Let me know if someone wants to know how this turns out.
I am having this issue... I can be typing along in swiftkey, thumb keyboard or the built in key board and after awhile the process of keying just goes crazy. I will hit a particular key like say n and all of a sudden 5 or 6 other random letters will show up. Or some spaces or some punctation marks or numbers. And once that starts it is hard to stop it. Every word I try to write just shows up as all kinds of crazy letters.
Anybody else experience this?
Not on my flyer, but my N1 will sometimes freak out and misregister key presses. Turning the screen off and back on seems to fix it though.

I use swiftkey and have never seen this problem. Have you tried the stock keyboard? does the problem occur there?
Problem can occur with stock keyboard or swiftkey. I am having a dog of a time typing this. It seems to be a function of typing for a long time.
I know this thread is old, but i am having the exact same problem and i dont know what its causing it. Do you think it might be the touchscreen itself? Or maybe the keyboard app? A custom rom would solve the problem? Is it a faulty device, or a characteristic of all the devices and there is nothing to be done about it?
On certain roms my keyboard seems to stop working with certain letters. This happens no matter what keyboard I use and what rom type I use. ICS, AOSP GB, Sense. It all does it. I have to reboot but it'll come back with a different letter or number. Anyone else experience this or have a fix?
Same thing here. I figured it was because I'm running a prettybold miui..nothing out there really worth trying so I haven't bothered. It happens when I text, random keys just stop working...I usually just the word wrong so I can choose it from the suggestion box..but its it's annoying
I'm Batman..
Hope it's not your screen doing it.. Have you tried a stock rom just to make sure it wasn't custom rom related.
yep. any rom. stock ruu or anything. it only happens when typing. the spot on the screen will work anywhere else. and the spot that doesnt work changes often
Hey guys!
I've already posted my problem in the Nexus 4 Q/A-Forum.. till now without help. Well i thought that maybe here is a good place to get help, too!
So whats my problem.. Yesterday i flashed a new update of Xylon-Rom (clean flash) on my Nexus 4. Installed and restored all Apps. Usually I use Swiftkey 4 as keyboard, so I set up everything like all the times before. The last times everything works fine, but this time not. I set up SK as my standard keyboard and began to write. After a while I wanted to write again, but suddenly there was the AOSP keyboard. Changed back to SK. But after some moments it happend again. So everytime when there is a text input AOSP appears.. I change back to SK then, but after turning screen on some minutes later AOSP again.
As it would be not enough, the same thing is happening since yesterday on my gf phone (HTC One S, also rooted with Carbon Rom). Like on my phone, it never happenend before.
What I've done till now? Erased App-Data of both keyboards, disabled AOSP keyboard. Everything without success.
Dont know why it happens now... I often flash other Roms, Updates etc and I use Swiftkey for a long time. Restoring with Titanium works everytime. And this time i haven't done any other thing on Restoring.
I hope u understand my problem (my english isn't the best ) and anyone could help me!?
Thanks so far.
Cls
Tried to freeze the AOSP in Titanium -> no effect
Set Swiftkey as System-App -> no effect
:X
I was encountering this with swipe keyboard previously, and my solution was to use swiftkey.
