Ok, so I recently downloaded an APK for AI. Keyboard after which I started having problems. When I press the backspace it uses other keys like. When I press it doesn't delete but instead puts another letter like "p" and happens with other keys too. Also at time I go into settings and press on certain options such as Language & Keyboard it reverts to applications or sound settings. I don't know if this is a virus or anything. Does anyone know at all about something like this.
reckoning the keyboard app to be beta, you should post the issue in relevant forum in the keyboard app site.

Hello everyone, my rooted nook tablet is acting up and I am not sure how to fix it. I was using the the stock android keyboard and I switched to the hacker one just to see what it was like. Now it seems as if both keyboards are active but I am not sure to disable it. Any ideas?
What are the keyboards actually doing? Did you move the hacker keyboard app to the /system/app folder to get access to it?
I didn't move anything to the /system/app folder, all I did was push the keyboard setting button on the keyboard to switch from android to hackers.
Also for example if I hit backspace on the android keyboard, the P key gets hit instead because that is where the backspace is on the hacker keyboard.
Take a look at this thread.

It's the work around for installing alternative keyboards. On the stock rom, I used that method to use Hacker, GO keyboard, Swype, and Swiftkey.
I'm really liking the Voice to Text (VTT) input that came with the ICS leak, and find that it works pretty well. The problem is that when I change to a different keyboard, the VTT changes. I've tried a couple of different keyboards, and they both seem to have different versions of the VTT.
On Swype beta, I've dug through the settings, but cannot seem to find anywhere to select which VTT system to use.
The only real issue I've got with the stock keyboard is that I would like to shorten the time before the alternate character is selected when long pressing a key.
If anyone has any ideas, or maybe another keyboard that uses the stock ICS VTT I'd appreciate it.
I've tried swiftkeyx, betterkeyboard, swype with no luck.
Another thing about the ICS leak that I've noticed is that you cannot press and hold over text and get that magnifying glass to place your cursor in a particular spot. Any fix for this?
Yeah, I'm replying to my own post...
The way to use the stock Google Voice Input when using an alternate keyboard is to pull down the notification bar when you are in a text input area. You should see a little keyboard icon up there, and when you pull it down, choose "Select Input Method" and choose "Google Voice Input". This only changes it for the time being, and doesn't change it system wide.
Now can anybody answer my other question below?

Hello,
I bet that I'm not the only one who has that problem and I could bet that there is somewhere already a thread about it but all I can find (here and in generall over google) is the opposite case (keyboard disappearing when it shouldn't) or tips for developers to let a keyboard disappear when the user taps on an empty space, so I already appologize but I just can't find any solution.
I have this problem for a few years now, with Googles keyboard, Swiftkey and sometimes Swype. I have it now on my Galaxy Note 4 running stock TW, I had it on my G2 (at least in ParanoidAndroid and SlimROM but I think already in stock LG ROM) and I could even bet that I had it also on my Nexus 4, so that's why I'm asking in the general android forum for help.
Sometimes, I just can't close the keyboard when I don't need it anymore. Pressing back, home or recent apps or opening the notification shade (which should be in the foreground of all for all I know) the keyboard just stays where it is. It isn't frozen, I can still use it. But it really likes to hide buttons I would need e.g. to send the text I just wrote or the buttons in the power menu so I could only press "trun off" but not "reboot" to get rid of it. I even have my back key as "kill foreground app" when double tapping on it, but it kills everything but the keyboard. It takes time and constantly pressing the different navigation keys to finally close the keyboard.
I think you can imagine how annoying that is and I'm really sick of it. It happens randomly so it's not really possible to record any log, it might be possible that XPosed could be the reason for that but I think I already had that problem already befor I installed it the first time but I'm not sure.
Does annyone has that problem too and knows how to handle it?
I've been googling and cruising a number of forums, surely there must be a logical way to get rid of this annoying thing. I am unrooted, locked BL. I have a BT keyboard. Swiftkey installed as system app by default, and I have gboard installed, too. I have an annoying keyboard shortcut of space + shift that brings up the Select input method screen. Seems it's an annoying problem, but without root no easy way to fix?
I disabled swiftkey, and I see the keyboard shortcut helper lists the shift + space shortcut, but there's no way to disable or change it to something else.
Has anyone else with a BT keyboard encountered and solved this? Maybe it's my ebay keyboard and some brief lag that interprets capital letters as my sending the space + shift shortcut. It's nearly impossible to take notes with this thing because the input menu pops up every 10 seconds or so. I'll be travelling to the mainland later this week and would love to find a way to fix this because I want to use the tablet and keyboard to take notes at a conference.
Thank you very much for any help you may have. I thought every answer was on google, but this one is not popping up....
Hello World,
I have a SG Note, with Lineage 7.1 and a bluetooth keyboard attached to it.
It is *highly* unnerving, when I am in the middle of some other task and the browser pops uo, because I touched the wrong key combination by accident.
Yet even so I found the button in "Settings" where it lists the pre-defined app shortcuts, I can not find the option to change/disable the same.
I'd be grateful for any help here.
