So I have this issue on three of my phones. Sometimes when I double tap the space bar to have it insert a period then a space it will instead remove the last letter of the word, insert a space then a period. Not sure what is causing it or how to fix it. Doesn't seem to be only the words I used in the video and for some reason it doesn't seem to do it every time. Only seems to happen when I am using Chrome and filling in a text box. I am using the Google Keyboard from Google Play on my Z2 and Z Ultra (not shown in the video) and the AOSP keyboard in Cyanogenmod on the OnePlus One.
You can see what I mean in the video: http://youtu.be/IFqFBZE-hsw
No one else have this issue? It's driving me nuts.

It seems like a autocorrect bug with the keyboard your using
Does it happen with other keyboards, and does it happen with a difference in auto correct or auto period with keyboards?
I haven't used another keyboard. The issue is with auto punctuation, haven't seen it do it with auto correction.

Yes i have noticed this too.
Seems to be only in Chrome (in webforms etc) and as far as I can tell only on a Oneplus One.
A very quick double tab results sooner in a delete of the last letter before the period than if you double tab slower. So it is definately looks like a bug.
Try emailing both google and sony
This could be a Framework bug on sonys half or it could be a google bug with chrome
Could be a bug on both sides to do with text handling
Just experienced this also on my LG GPAD 8.3 running CM11
Okay so it isn't just me. Three different devices people have experienced this one. Gotta be on Google's side since it is happening on the different devices.

Is it just Titan or Is it just WP over all?
Is it OS-associated or Is it App-associated?
I am inclined to believe keyboard disappearing few times while writing is more associated to random apps and only in Titan.
I haven't found other device users talking about such experience but few apps e.g. WhatsApp - has it more frequent!
How I wish with all these fantastic facilities, the developers for so called big apps used more knowledge to make better apps! They make such rubbish apps even after having far more functionalities on offer from the OS.

Does that suggest that it's OS related? Does it disappear when using only certain apps?
When I am emailing or using anything in ME tile - it never disappears. It often disappears while I type things within an app. It is very very rare when using messaging or IE.
It's a WP7 bug. It's due to the background agents. There are certain apps that do something in the background and make the keyboard disappear. Go to Settings > applications > background tasks and disable Background Agents on each application. Obviously if that app has to run in the background its functionality will be reduced but if you are having a lot of trouble with the keyboard disappearing this is the only fix for now.
This video shows a background task activating and the keyboard being hidden as a result:
I only have this issue(sometimes) when posting in forums. Aside from that,it works fine and doesn't disappear. ( such typing a text or browsing internet.....)
I have the same thing happen to me. I guess it's just a Titan bug.
The only two problems that really bugged me on my Titan were the keyboard disappearing and Espn goals not playing videos. They have both now started to work very well after my last update.
Kinda solution
Greetings,
I only had this problem like 2 times. And its most certainly because of the background apps running. I am a casual mobile user, and does not have many apps running at the same time. So am not experiencing this problem.
Possible solution = use single app at one time, and before using another app, quit it by using the back button on the phone.
I know it completely makes the multitasking ability a waste, but I don't use more than one app at a time, except for listening to music.
Try out this for a couple of days, and see if you still have the disappearing keyboard.

I think I've even narrowed down your issue here!
It only happens when you have certain buggy apps that launch and un-launch your keyboards. Developers need to be more professional when making apps that use your internet.
example - I've tested it with Board express app as well as twitter and facebook apps. I think when you start writing something in these apps e.g. a forum post, a tweet or a reply to any message, it launches your keyboard. After a bit of inactivity it tries to un-launch it so that you could use the full screen estate. However that was meant to be a useful function by MS. So say you were writing a long post, then wanted to do something else while multi-tasking or something on your PC and the app stays there doing nothing, it stops using the keyboard. Less resources, less memory intense etc - the coool features stuff.
However, when these apps go in background, after a while they become dormant anyway. So if they run in background while you use for emailing, text or something involving your keyboard it keeps crazily unlaunching it! It doesn't understand that you don't want the keyboard for their app but for something else!
It doesn't happen that often thankfully! Only happened 3 times in nearly 2 months for me. But when that does happen, if you go to multitasking view and get rid of those apps that do this, you won't have the issue. Also a restart simply stops it for a long long time.
This is a WP bug where the background tasks are putting the keyboard into the foreground. Only way to stop it from happening is to disable all background agents from running in Settings.
I didn't have this happen with the HTC surround, but that was pr-mango. I din't have it happen with Dell Venue Pro, but that has a physical keyboard so maybe I didn't notice. Regardless, in my experience it's just Titan

Have a look here it's not just Titan, ms are looking into it.
Hi Everyone,
I need help on my nexus 5/Android 4.4.2. I want to be able to troubleshoot and figure out why my nexus 5 is acting strange -at least the OS part of it.
A BIT OF HISTORY: I just recently purchased this phone in the US through a friend.
THE SITUATION/ISSUES:
- When I go to the app drawer, sometimes the wall paper in the background turns black and comes back just after I tap a an app
- When I use the chrome browser and surf the web some something, it reloads the page I am viewing without me triggering reload. It's kinda annoying that it reloads pages i am viewing. Quiet a few times chrome crashed.
- When I use youtube and tap the voice command to search for videos, it accepts the command but it doesn't load the videos I wanted to search.
- Sometimes, when I tap the home button it kinda reloads the home screen.
I thought that it might be just the OS and maybe a glitch or something. I tried factory reset (vanilla android) a few times but it is the same. I have tried cyanogenmod 11 on it and it is still the same issues.
I am a newbie. This is my first nexus android. I have used HTC desire HD for a month and it doesn't have this problem.
If I am unclear with describing my situation/problem please let me know.

Since it persists in different roms looks like a hardware issue.. More of an ram issue is what I can make of.. Take a logcat and send it my way and I'll look at it.
The last 2 errors are pretty common. The last one is because your launcher is not locked on ram.

Thanks for the reply MasterAwesome.
I have just downloaded aLogCat to log issues on my phone. Once I've gathered enough activity/issues, I'll send it your way.
Are issues likes these common in Nexus 5's? I've reverted back to my Stock Android.
YouTube issue: I didn't update the YouTube app and the voice search feature on it worked fine - at least for now that seems to be the fix for it.
Chrome Browser reloading issue: I haven't found a fix but Chrome Beta seem to work fine. Still reloads but not quite as often. I think this reloading issue isn't just contained in Chrome Browser.
Skype Video Call issue: I forgot to mention that I used Skype for a video call once and every 1-3 minutes the video drops (but not the call) I would have to press back to go out of the call without hanging up and get back to it. That seem to reload the video again.

Yeah, those are very common

They are common? I have an N5 and have a few friends with them and hang out in the Nexus 5 forums too. It's definitely not that common. I've flashed dozens of roms on my phone and have not experienced any of these problems besides Chrome reloading a few times, though even that only happened a few times. I also use Nova Launcher and have never seen it reload (besides waiting for a new theme to load) or flake out once.

I've been using swiftkey for the last couple of phones i've had.
I just got so fed up with the insane lag on the z5 compact that i tried removing swiftkey and it seems to have helped massively.
Anyone else can verify ?
Maybe the z5 compact has a very low tolerance for system replacement apps like keyboard and launchers ?

I've always had swiftkey installed on my z5c and have found the phone to be quite slow and laggy. After seeing this post just uninstalled it, my first impression is that it seems a lot faster!
you may want to report this issue to swiftkey

I've been using SwiftKey for a long time without issue. I just started getting this lag problem in the past couple of weeks.
interesting since I had been noticing some lag issues and I attributed it to apps like Snapchat, though that app may have its own issues (especially since it accesses the camera every damn time you open the app). I've been meaning to give the latest Google keyboard a chance anyway, so I'll have to see how phone performance is not using Swiftkey.
I've tracked it down to the keyboard, I think. I've tried going back to Swiftkey and it gets laggy again after a few minutes. Swapping to the Google keyboard and the lag goes away. I've tried multiple messaging apps and seen the same results each time. The SK Neural keyboard from Swiftkey is doing the same thing.

Give a try to Swype, I don't experience such lag. I really appreciate the SwypeTweaks XPosed module to replace the Dragon voice typing with Google one. And I love the copy/paste gesture, among many other features. Swype Row Xposed module adds a permanent number row if the gesture to switch to numeric keypad is not enough.
I have problem on my z2 which is when I wrote some message, it's show multiple letter even when I just pressing one letter on my keyboard. For example, let say I touch letter 'H' on my keyboard, then it will come out with double letter like 'Hh'. The problem occurred after a week I upgrade lollipop to marsmallow using pre-rooted package. I have downgraded to lollipop from marshmallow using flashtool but still no luck and the problem still occurs. I also test my screen using multi-touch test app from play store and indicate that there are like 2 finger hit the screen in certain area.
I have attached the screenshot from that multitouch test application. Please help me with this problem. Sorry for my bad English.
I had this problem too some time a year ago or so.
It was solved by
- Changing keyboard (to Google keyboard for example)
- Using desktop-version of websites in chrome for example
...if I remember correctly.
I think it's a bug in Xperia keyboards auto correct feature, maybe disabling it could help too.
If i remember correct, this problem also appeared more in Opera than in Chrome....
recently I bought doogee x5 max smartphone from china and I am satisfied with everything except for ONE THING.
the keyboard. even if I type in normal speed. it eats up my words therefore appears like this generally(when typing "xdadeveloper", it is shown on the screen like "xddvlopr") I didnt have same issue with my previous phones (in total 4)
and among all keys , some specific keys work worse than others like P or T
I tried everything I could do for instance, updated using OTA, manually flash stock firmware via needrom, had factory reset 3 times, installed almost every keyboard applications on google play turned off every animation setting in developer option.
its not like a lag I guess since if its not about the letter I type being shown say 2 seconds later, but it just omits the some of the letter in a word.
any advice will be greatly appreciated. I know this is cheap phone so I can not expect too much but this annoys me as HEXX because this is keyboard, used everyday, every time I do the task with my device.
Thank you!
ps) my smartphone has android 6.0 marshmallow, mediatek mtk6580, 1gb ram and 8gb rom, I never tried rootfor this phone. because I bought this just a week ago and I admit I am not gadget prick with plentiful knowledge on machines.
Hmm. This is an odd issue if it is affecting different keyboard apps as well...
I'm wondering if it is a problem with the touch sensitivity? Do you have the same issue whether the phone is upright or on it's side? With different keyboard apps, do the same letters not appear or is it random? Does it make any difference on the other keyboard apps if you resize the keyboard or not (only some support this)?

touch itself works just fine when I tap on anything such as web surfing, playing games and checking my emails etc.. and whether upright or sideview, its the same sadly and I dont mean some letters does not completely work but its lame and untyped 3 or 4 times out of 10 , high enough to not have a normal daily use. but yeah, whatever keyboard app I use, same letter goes wrong. and resizing the keyboard layout makes no difference.
I wish there is magic pills to cure this disease. like performance booster app or something if you can recommend me.
