[Q] ICS Stock Messaging Auto Keyboard - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day,
I know that when you enter the stock messaging and try to read a thread, you simply read all the SMS on that thread. The problem is that when i click on a thread the keyboard automatically pops up
Even when accessing the new sms message from lock screen. After swiping, i know that new message shall be opened for you to read but in this case the keyboard too pop up.
It gets annoying to keep pressing the back key or hide keyboard. I cant seem to find the correct settings to prevent the keyboard from popping out.
Can anyone point me on the right direction?
Using pure stock ICS (DXLP7)
Thanks

Up. Anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Still cant figure out how to stop it

Quick Q&A Problem

So I rooted my Atrix the other day and it's now running version 1.57. Everything is running smoothly expect for 2 things. First, the text messaging. When I receive a text, I'll be notified, but I'll go to the default app and it'll just be an orange circle rotating like it's trying to load. I figured it might just be the app so I installed Handcent and GO SMS Pro...same thing...my notifications will pop up, but when I go to my inbox or to a list of my previous texts I received, NOTHING IS THERE. How in the world do I fix this? I tried looking for a "Default Application" setting thinking that maybe I can clear the default one that came with the phone, maybe that's the issue, but I have no idea where or how to change that setting. The customization I once had on the Android OS seems to be gone.
Also, when I installed the ADW Launcher, I noticed it gave me a completely new keyboard, which is fine and all, but the default keyboard that came with the Atrix would actually rotate with the screen and become bigger if you turned the Atrix sideways...I'm trying to figure out how to get it back or change this setting as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

First post noob

Hi all. Thanks for the site. Hope to help out here when I can. I just moved over from the "X" to Razr, and I have a couple of questions/problems.
When I have a new text message in the notification bar up to and try and open it, the screen goes back to the stock lock screen. What is even more weird about it is that I have Widget Locker installed and enabled. My second problem is that I have Swift Key X installed but every time I go to type something I have to go to input method and re-enable it every time otherwise it keeps returning to the stock keyboard. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
For your first problem, it's normal. You have to disable the stock lockscreen itself. WL won't cancel the lockscreen. There are a few apps on the market that will do that, so just go search.
I'm not too sure about the second though. Try going under Settings -> Language and Keyboards, and change the input method?
Thanks. Found one called "no lock". Seems to be working so far. I don't really understand why I have to have that with the Razr, but never neded it with the X. Oh well. If it works who cares right?
Now I gotta figure out what's up with the keyboard.

Any way to STOP the keyboard popping up when i go to read a NEW sms

As the title says.
Scenario: A text message comes in, I pull down the menu and hit the name of the sender, and it takes me into the default messaging app to read my text. But as well as doing this, it automatically opens my keyboard ready to type a reply.
Have I missed something here??? I'm using Perfect Keyboard Pro, and wish to continue to do so.
It only does this on a new message, if I open a read message the keyboard wont open unless i press the reply button.
I hope its just a wee setting i've stoopidly missed, but any help is appreciated
AFAIK, this is the standard behaviour. When you receive a new sms, and go to read it, the keyboard pops out (to type the reply). When you go to see received sms, the keyboard pops out only if you tap on the text box at the bottom.
This for any keyboard you'd use.
Damn... wish there was a way to turn that off. .. och well...

[Q] How do I collapse the keyboard?

Sometimes I want to get rid of the keyboard so I can see more of the text message or fill out a large form.
Anybody know how to turn it off and on?
Thanks,
Rob
Hit the back arrow once to get rid of keyboard and tap the text field to bring it back. Solved thread closed

Wheres my text?

Im running a stock Note, and sometimes when I enter stock text messaging from the lockscreen my text doesnt appear when i begin talking. I have to close out the text messaging app and re-start it for it to work.
Does anyone know why, and is there a solution.

Anyone out there ever have this issue with their note?
Your OP isn't clear. You are using s-voice to dictate a reply to a text message after touching the notification icon on the lock screen? And the problem is your message isn't appearing in your conversation list?
Do you have another text messaging app with voice like "assistant" app? Maybe that app is intercepting your texts.
Negative/ What I mean is, the screen will be locked. It will light up when i get a text message. Instead of doing a regular swipe to unlock, if i select the text and swipe to directly enter the message in the stock text messaging app, when the keyboard appears, i start typing but the key presses do not register on the screen. Usually when this happens i have to close out the text messaging app by holding down the Home key and swiping away the text application. When i restart it and enter the message then i will be able to actually type.
It has happened before when not unlocking straight to the stock text app, but that's how/when it happens most times.
Ditch the lock screen?

Tried that. It still happens when i'm just regularly using the phone, but not nearly as often.
Try a different keyboard?
