Since updating to Gingerbread I've been randomly having to restart my phone because it will stop taking input from the keyboard. You'll see words suggested to auto-correct but nothing will actually type in the box. As soon as I reboot this is resolved, but it occurs 3 - 5 times a day.
Ideas?

I too have the same issue with the OTA. Tried these steps to no avail...
1. Reflashed Stock 2.3.4
2. Flashed Pudding and Unlocked.
3. Flashed a new ROM Alien
4. Installed SwiftKey (Keyboard) too
None of these have worked. I actually ran clean with NO APPS for 24 hours and gave up email and only used the stock text app and had the same thing happen. So I am stumped.
But the plus in all this I ended up running the Alien ROM and its blazing compared to the stock. But I typically have to pull the battery daily for the dang keyboard.
It really is weird how the prediction works so I can type a whole sentence but its not visable.
I hope you can get a suggestion.
It appears to be an issue with the process itself android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If I could find a way to just restart that process I think I can at least mitigate the problem enough to not require a restart every time.

So are you saying the problem would go away using another Keyboard say SWYPE and possibly freezing the multitouchkeyboard process?
We're not alone
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/gingerbread-development-hacking/24275-installed-gingerbread-now-keyboard-randomly-stops-working-device-lags.html
So it appears to be an issue with Gingerbread build? That's great news
I hated the stock keyboard from the very first moment I got the Atrix. Shopped around for quite awhile before finding the ideal keyboard replacement, which for me was Smart Keyboard. I set it to the HTC skin, and it's the best keyboard I've ever worked with on a touchscreen.
No problems at all like what's been described here.
I'll give that a try. For me it doesn't matter which keyboard I've selected I still seem to get this issue. Currently using perfect keyboard free and it occurs on this as well.

If that's true, I would recommend a factory reset. I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and installing a fruitcake build might help.
Earthdog, do you happen to have an SD card installed on your Atrix? I some how was able to recover the keyboard on mine without restarting by clearing the cache on the keyboard process.

I still have no idea. Some days I have a reboot once and other it happens 5 or 6 times. What Keyboard are you using?
I did discover a new mystery to the issue. If you type something in an app when the keyboard does not seem to work and lock the phone and unlock it the text is then visible.
Odd
um , im pretty sure you could just def get a another keyboard like better keyboard or swift or ect . you can download those in the app market and change the input on them . If that doesn't work then you could use a fruit cake to go back to stock . hope that works

Stock Motoblur and Swype do it for me. Haven't tries others as it's reported they all do it. I have no clue why it'd start all of a sudden.

Glad I found this thread. This has occurred on two phones now (atrix)
Also the clock in notifications freezes and CPU maxes the frequency. It gets really hot until it reboots itself or I reboot. I have been trying to fix this bug for a couple months now. Had anyone reported it?
It may have gotten this nailed down.
If you are having this issue do you have a SD Card installed? If so what brand and size.
After removing the SD Card and powering on does the issue go away?

Hi guys I'm on bionix 3 with JACs OC kernel with the latest voodoo and color fix installed. Since I installed the newest kernel my rotation has stopped working in all my apps. I downloaded an app to test my orientation sensor, everything is set to 0. I also dropped my phone after I installed the kernel so maybe that could be the reason...any ideas? Is there a way to test if items software or hardware related? If it is damaged hardware, should I unhappy and go to t mobile? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!
Revert your phone to complete stock and see if it begins to work again. If it doesn't, then your best bet is to bring it back to Tmo.

thanks ill try to remove the lagfix and ODIN back to stock.
if i were to take it to Tmo and the stock rom didnt fix it, would they replace it under warranty, you think?
I'm almost positive they will replace it. Just don't tell them you dropped it!

Happened to me, requested a new phone because it would not orient even after wiping.
So I get the new vibrant and go to town and wipe again, removing superuser su busybox, when in one app I realize it orients....
It had been on lagfix and orientation worked. I moved it to ext2 on sdcard, orientation worked.
So I blame an app or something else I have not redone on this replacement.
Btw check your compass, stuck at north too isn't it?

some apps automatically put the phone in landscape, like the youtube app once you watch a video, but if you press back and get to the main youtube app page it will stay in landscape but it wont rotate to portrait at all until you get to the home screen which i have locked onto portrait....ill wipe and odin to stock and see what happens, but what did you t-mobile when you gave it to them? and how do exchanges work exactly? ive never done one before with a phone, do they switch you out right then and there or do they mail you a replacement?
Thanks guys for your suggestions =]

If you turn off auto orientation and exit your media apps, phone is in portrait, makes it more usable until you wipe phone.
I am not sure the stores do it past the 2 weeks, you call tmo and they might ask you to try things until they send you a new phone via ups, you put old one in a box and put the return label on and drop it off at a ups store to send it back, if you take more than 7 days, you get to pay for the replacement
pretty painless process unless you are impatient and say sure, charge me $21 for express shipping.

Hmm that is strange, but there were a lot of weird things happening when I had the rom and kernel combo I had before. I had long wake up lag, intense battery drain, and no rotation, but I odin'd, rooted, flashed the same things again and everything works fine now, I even titanium restored some apps and settings ran fix permissions and nothing weird happening yet. Idk what could have caused it before...
My accelerometers are very flaky -- I have been assuming it's related to my nearly-useless compass and my completely non-functional GPS. I use "Digital Speed" whenever I drive my '55 (which has a broken speedo cable at the moment) and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Completely random, even after a fresh reboot.
Same problem here. Running Bionix 1.4. First noticed a problem when I installed a game that needed tilt to operate, it wouldn't work. Then I checked and the homescreen won't flip. Test apps show "no data" or "INIT" and no actual values for the sensors. I'm using the OC Voodoo version, is this a common thread with the problem?
Don't restore system setting from backup. It can kill the orientation. This is my experience.

Didn't.
I upgraded to Bionix 1.5 without Voodoo and the problem is gone. I thought maybe the 1.5 update fixed it, but another user is reporting the problem while on 1.5. I believe the Voodoo kernel is to blame at this point.

A full wipe worked for me, then again i never used anything too crazy. His experience suggests you should try it, oddly enough for me running the calibration tool, the error message talked about a stale nfs file
Reminds me of deleting battery statistics to reset the battery meter on other phones......and the full wiping/odin flashing nukes it.
Everything works fine on the replacement too with the same apps and fixes (minus lag fix) as before (orientation working wasn't found to be working before i already got a replacement on order :/ ), only thing i hate is gmaps 4.5.1 causing a load of 8.x+, enough to once get everything killed (uptime did not change although everything was reloaded, media was scanned as if it had rebooted) and a shut down the other time.
Hi everyone, and hails to all devs. I'm a long time lurker, first post here. Should have posted in the development thread, but it won't let me because I never posted before :-( ... so hopefully roebeet looks at this section as well...
Also, some background about myself, I'm an android phone user, being using an rooted MB300 phone for a year now. But I am a new gtablet user, and jumped onto this bandwagon with the rest of the wooters. I've flashed the newest TnT lite 4.4 (3/30/2011) onto my gtablet, the installation is smooth, booted up without a problem, and just to be safe, I also did a data wipe (well, actually a factory reset since I didn't use CWM to flash the system). The system runs fine, everything works great, except two things.
1. It won't let me switch input method. I've downloaded and installed swiftkey and iflytek to the gtablet, and in settings, it won't let me check the enable checkbox, after pressing on the checkbox for about 100 times, it finally give me a FC...
2. The speaker constantly playing a low pitch drumming sound for no reason, the sound comes randomly, even during the system idle, with no apps running (i force stopped all running apps in application management). So I figure it is not a problem associated with a perticular app.
is anyone else experiencing the same problems, or is it just me? If it is just me, I'll probabiliy reflash the rom, and hopefully have better luck at it.
Thanks a lot.
To get the keyboard working you'll need to move the apk to data/app then reboot and switch keyboards like normal, I used root explorer. As for the sound issue, I'm not having anything like that on my end so not sure.
Yeah, the keyboard addon issue is one that stock has had since Day One, so TNT Lite is also affected. It's one of many reasons why VEGAn is such a popular ROM, as it doesn't have this problem. VEGAn also supports USB mice, as I recall, whereas TNT (Lite) does not. I keep hoping that the vendor will fix this problem, one of these days.
That sound might be a hardware problem, however. I would recommend getting back to a clean stock baseline like 3588, and test it that way for a day or so. TNT Lite 4.4.0 is using a UAT 3991 system image that should work fine, but perhaps there's something buggy in there. I haven't had the issue, at least not yet.
thanks a bunch for the replies, I've actually played with the stock rom for a day before flashing, it doesn't seem to have to sound problem, and I've flashed to calkulin's rom, it doesn't have to sound problem as well, maybe if i reflash tnt lite, the problem would go away. As for the input method, after encounter the same thing with calkulin's rom, I figured it would be a limitation with orginal tnt system... thanks a lot anyways, I'll try out the different roms on the board, have nothing better to do at friday night anyways...
That keyboard thing
I went nuts wondering why I couldn't change keyboards even when I had three different ones in the input method showing. Here is something someone else posted that seems to work everywhere. I just tested it on tnt lite 4.40 and it works there too. Go to some app that wants keyboard input. I used QuickOffice - QuickWord. Touch the area that will call up a keyboard for input but do a long press. A menu will pop up and one of the choices will be input method. When you choose it another menu will pop up with all the keyboards you have installed. Whichever one you select will become your new default keyboard. To change to another just repeat this procedure. Hope this helps.
enigma0456,
I have the same issue as the original poster and what you and many others describe does NOT work for new keyboards installed via standard methods. Before new keyboards can be exposed to that selection list they need to be enabled and the TNT settings UI doesn't allow for this. :-(
I put together a quick tutorial to push whatever keyboard apk you want to the system.

Problems with tnt lite 4.40
Hello everyone, i'm new to the rooting and flashing thing. I just bought the viewsonic g-tab and right off the bat noticed that I hate the orginal software. I rooted it with Z4 and flashed TNT lite 4.40. I am having f/c all the time and it freezes just about the same. I have tried to watch movies on it but am unable to hear sound.
Ist it the apps or possably the flash? Again I'm new to this stuff if anybody could help.
Also what is the difference when you root with Z4 than with anyother? Can I flash other roms like vegan if I have already flashed TNT?

Yep. Just make sure you wipe data and cash. Were you getting the process.acore fc? If so that is a known and easily fixable solution. Did you ever use cwm to fix permissions? That really hrlps with fcs

You don't need cwm, at least not yet. Backup the data you care about, then do a data wipe via Settings -- Security -- Factory Restore (and let it reboot).

I am new to all this too..but i will take a shot....
Do you know what version you had before you went to TNT Lite?
You could try a factory reset (settings->security) to see if it fixes your problems.
Unless you were on the most recent update of the stock ROM version (build 4349) and you dont care about it in the near future, the usual way to flash a new ROM was using ClockworkMod (cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
However with the new update (4349) things are in a flux right now, cwm is not the best thing to use if you are on an older stock rom, and if you want to install 4349 at some point. Read through the stickies and familiarize yourself with everything that is going on.
youtube videos by ehunyadi are also a good source of information.

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

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.
So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

Awesome... thank you!
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I normally keep my phone on silent mode but sometimes during the day it will automatically go off silent mode. Seems to happen most often when the battery level is below half. I just learned to live with it. My alarm would deactivate by itself in Froyo, so at least this isn't going to cause me to be late for work like that.
Problem is solved here after last week's upgrade. I'd suggest flashing a new build if possible. I guess for some unknow reason, parts of the OS gets corrupted or maybe its a bug in device drivers for our android phones thats been addressed in later builds.

SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

I'm certainly no dev, just an avid user who likes learning and tweaking to get the most from his phone. I recall having similar problems with FROYO stock or rooted which as I remember went away when GINGERBREAD came out. I've been running DZK's CM7 beta as my daily driver since it was released with virtually no problems and unlike most other ROM's does not need multiple tweaks and scripts to scream with the exception of a wifi and/or dialer glitch that looks like Moonshadow has recently fixed. Sooooo unless HDMI is a deal breaker I'd suggest you flash CM7 and see if that takes care of your problems just remember to abide by the cautions regarding use of TBU to restore apps. And lastly as a rule of thumb I reboot my phone every morning once I get to 100% charge...force of habit I guess.
Good luck

Thanks everyone... I havent been on because it strangely hasn't been happening. Not sure what changed. Did not uninstall any apps, and have not had any updates (as far as I know... well besides app updates) and for some reason it hasnt been happening lately. Again, no idea what changed. Still unrooted on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread and phone seems fine now. Been happening for months and when I finally come here to get help, the problem seemed to have went away. I will keep you all updated if this changes. Hopefully if it is happening to anyone else, it has also been fixed... Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate you guys helping out this noob
what i did
i have an mb870 too with no service running google voice and groove ip . my issue with notifications
was with my kids hitting all the button selections she could. in the process my message notifications
got defaulted to the wrong messaging app. i was still getting messages but no tones or vibrations.
so i just went to all the messaging apps i have and made sure to select the right one for the default
hope this helps
