Message and Typing don't work. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so, ive got an odd problem on my phone today, The standard message app stoped working, i'm from sweden so i use the swedish keyboard, basicly we have the keys Å Ä Ö, but that one doesn't work anymore, example: when i type M for example i get a V, all keys are mixed up.
These problems came after i simply restarted my phone, all i did was restarting it. I never messed with my phone with like rooting etc so i don't think i did any problems there.
I called Samsung and they told em to reinstall the phone to fabrik version, done it a few times and some other things but nothing works.
Anyone know what the problem may be and how to fix it? I don't reallycare about the message app, just downloaded anotherone. But i really need teh swedish keyboard, currently using US so i can't type Å Ä Ö.
Thanks in advance!

So a factory reset did not work? I know its not the ideal solution but could you not just download another keyboard to use.
You could always reflash the stock firmware using odin this does not require root due to being a stock firmware. there are tutorials on here for this.

The touchscreen is Fu**ed up! HELP!

Hi guys, I have a Htc Touch Dual.
Now the device has started to doing some strange things:S
- When I slide the phone up, and try to use the touchscreen, nothing happens. It doesn't react at all.
- The TouchFlo "cube" thing pop's up pretty often, without sliding it.
For example, I press "Calender/Contacts/sms/start/ etc" then the cube pop's up out of nowhere.
- Somethimes when I press "start" I get into "Calender". And the same with the right side. When I press the "running prosseses" i get into "Contacts"
I hace re-calibrated the screen several times, soft-reset, hard-reset, flashed it with several different ROM's. But nothing seems to help.
Anyone who knows what this is? Some settings in the registry or something? Or is it the hardware maybe? Please let me know!
Thanks
I would've sent it in to be repaired before flashing different ROMs onto it myself. Sounds like hardware trouble. If I were you I'd flash your original ROM and send it in to be repaired.
sounds like a hardware problem!!!
send it to repair!
I thought so :S
But I don't got my original ROM
Norwegian 16 keys, do someone know where to find it?
And after i have installed it, I just do the "reverse harspl thing"?
Is everything OK after that? Or do the repairers check sometihing else i should fix before delivery?

[Q] Typing problem x10 mini

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.

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] Typing problems

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?

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

Cannot change to QWERTY on ICS XXLPH

I tried to find information about this, but can't seem to find anything concrete. Before I upgraded to XXLPH I had the option of changing from different keypad inputs such as AZERTY or QWERTY or QWERTZ. Now I am forced to use QWERTZ without any way of changing this. Anyone have the same problem? Anyone have a fix?
Ok very weird, I decided to re-partition my phone, and afterwards re-install XXLPH, problem fixed...
I heard it's a CSC file issue, flashing the right one sorts it. I just used Swype, sorted the issue and also a more easier to use keyboard
