[Q] Typing problems - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running bionix nextgen v2, and It was working fine for the first few weeks and now I seem to be getting a problem where I cannot type anything, switching back and forth between the two keyboards does not help. The only thing that temporarily fixes the problem is restarting my phone. I can touch the letters and it will act like im typing it, even giving me word choices, but the word will not show up even if i use voice to text it will not show the words. Does anybody have a permanent fix for this or has had this problem before?

Click to collapse
Try going into Settings>Applications>Application Management, click on "all" find your keyboards in there and clear data for each one, restart and see if that works.

I have tried what you said but the problem still occurs after some time after restart, also I have tried new keyboards but it seems that the words will not show up anywhere when I type them even for searching the web. And I know the keys are working because it still pops up as if I had pressed a letter

save everything and go to CWM and do a factory reset

Phone app won't end without a soft reset.

Hi sorry if this has been posted before, I couldn't find any relevant info on the boards...
The problem is with the phone app. Once the device has been used to make a telephone call, the phone app stays running and will not end (i'm using the switcher) unless I perform a soft reset with the stylus.
If I make say three phone calls I end up with 3 instances of the phone app running and not being able to end them?
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Dean
Do you really end up with three copies running, or are you speculating? That would be very strange. It is normal for it to remain running, but I've never seen more than one copy running. There is no way to close it, even with a task switcher (have tried three).
If i am not mistaken your using WM2003 4.00.05
If this is the case it happened to me on hourly basis so i downgraded to 4.00.01 & it works well.
I think its a bug and sometime you see the call meter still running but the actuall call has ended more u cant stop it but by soft resetting.
If ure using this version of WM2003 then your only soltion change the ROM version
:wink:
I have had my TMo xda for almost a year now, and have used every version of PPC2002 and WM2003 to date, and in every version I have noticed that you cannot close the phone app as well, but I have never noticed multiple instances simultaneously, except that the call log window does sometimes show as an additional instance. So to see two instances of the phone app running is not unusual. I have never seen more than two instances running though, and closing the call log does seem to close the second instance.

thanks for the replies...
You are correct about there being only 2 instances of the phone app running, there are never more than that.
i'm using the developers rom v1.1 r 4.21.00
The phone instances simply wont end using either the task manager or switcher. The phone shows the last number I dialed, which I can't get rid of. also to the left of the contact name just above the phones erase button, there is a little "m".?
I have the developers rom 1.2 and I can close the phone app ok, I just go to the switchers "lightening bolt" thing in the right hand top corner, click, click and its gone.
The "m" you see is the confirmation that you are calling the number which appears in the 'Mobile field of the contact record. The last number called cannot be removed without 3rd party software. Nothing to worry about and probably not worth fixing.
Um, you know you can turn the phone app off by tapping on the signal strength meter or pressing and holding the red ph button ?
Hi, yes I did know you could turn the phone of this way, but the phone wouldn't actually end.
Last night I upgraded to the v1.2 rom, problem had dissapeared. Thanks for your help.

[Q] Text Messaging Problem - (Text Input)

I am having issues when I try to text message. Sometimes when I start typing it doesn't input anything into the text box. The keyboard shows that the keys are being pressed but nothing happens. This happens a lot but its nothing that I can reproduce exactly each time. It seems random! I would say it happens about 30%-40% of the time. To fix it I have to reboot or close the messaging program and reopen it several times. Sometimes its fixed the first time and sometimes it takes 5+ times.
I am currently using the stock ROM posted by jcase along with the original kernel. However, this has happened on ALL 3 other ROMs that I have tried as well as 2 other kernels.
Any help would be appreciated!
In case your wondering! Yes, I have always done a FULL wipe when installed my ROMS!
I reverted to stock and am unrooted using the jcase guide. The texting problem is still there! Anyone else having problems?

[Q] Keyboard issues

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
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
Ugh, this is still happening to me and still being a pain in my ass

Problems with Swype

Anyone else having problems with the swype keyboard not responding? Every now and again the trace stops working, and i when i switch between letters and numbers the keyboard doesnt do anything...
this has been addressed many time. there's a bug in the swype with the phone. to get the tracing to start working again you will have to change your input method (keyboard) then change back to swype.

I have the same problem right now as well, as a sprint ASC tech I have no solutions from HTC or Sprint. The switching input methods doesnt work for me on my device and neither does restarting the device. My phone is stuck like this.
The problem is with swype from what ive been told though, I hope they update their crap soon.
have noticed this as well. i thought I was doing something wrong at first.
get ultra keyboard, it blows swype outta the water. it does tracing better too if you want that

[Q] keyboard weirdness

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
