Off the screen as I'm typing, not going completely.
Have swiftkey as my usual keyboard but have since tried google keyboard and lollipop123 keyboard but it does the same with those as well.
Basically, I'll be in the middle of typing something mid word/end of word/deleting... doesnt matter, and the keyboard 'closes' down and dissapears. Then re-pressing whichever text box I was in, or pressing an already typed word or anywhere does nothing and I'm waiting upto 20 seconds for the keyboard to pop back back up to carry on typing. Sometimes it doesnt do it at all and sometimes can be 3 times in one twitter comment, to use an example.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Have tried with my keyboards as normal install, a system app AND onto the SD card and nothing makes a difference.

Every time I have to enter text, for say a text message, and I have my phone vertical, the upper left letters are blocked by the arrow that sits below the input field (the thing you use to select and copy text). Is there a way to turn that off? It makes using Swype a pain.
For clarification, I am referring to when you open a text field (text message, tweet, status update, etc) in vertical mode, below the blinking cursor is a pointer. It blocks the Q and W on my phone. Any ideas?
wait a few seconds for it to go away?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It doesn't go away until I push another key.
it goes away if i sit there for a second
i use swiftkey x beta and it doesnt cover up any of the keyboard
I might have to try that one. Swype has me kinda spoiled, though.
Latest Swype version has it. Kinda annoying.
Just realized what you guys are talking about...I know late right. Smart keyboard has a transparent arrow with an outline, no text blockage.

I like everything about the Samsung Keyboard, except for one thing. The XT9 autocorrect bar.
Is there any way to permanently make that thing stay up? It goes up and down everytime I hit space to get to the next word and it's driving me nuts.
Maybe this is an android thing. I'm using the stock keyboard on Skyraider 1.3 with no other mods. It behaved the same on stock and Froyo. I don't use any prediction at all, so the experience is as manual as can be. I have used swiftkey before but I don't remember it behavind better.
I cannot type as fast as I want because sometimes the letters overwrite as I type.
For example:
I type "gotcha"
It comes out as "gotca"
As far as I know it doesn't seem to happen more often with any combos of letter, but I'm not sure I'd notice if it did.
Sometimes the cursor will jump back a few spaces as I type. It's almost like a reverse TAB.
Also, when I'm typing sometimes the keyboard loads and drags the screen far below where I'm working. So much so that I cannot see what I'm typing. So, I exit out of the keyboard, scroll back up, manually place the cursor, and as soon as I type...bam it goes to the bottom of the screen again. I think this happens most while using a browser or e-mail client. And tapatalk.
Lastly, with my SMS messages sometimes it'll completely wig out and bring up the message log of the person I'm typing to prompting me to delete what I have check boxed, which thankfully is nothing.
What's going on here? Is it user error?
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
I think your typing issue is from accidently moving the cursor while hitting keys on the top row. I do it frequently, its either that or accidently hitting word suggestions, which is why i turned mine off to, that is far more annoying.
I also have that problem with not being able to see what I'm typing in certain apps. I think its just an app problem, oversight by the developers.

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 just typed "dill" in my shopping list, and when I hit space, it magically changed to "fill"
Fortunately I was able to find the settings icon on the keyboard and figure out how to turn it off. This was about the umpteenth time something like this happened to me, but I wasn't absolutely sure it was the keyboard doing it till now. Hopefully it will stop now. If not, I guess I'll switch to the google keyboard.
Are there more annoying features I haven't run into yet?
If you want your keyboard to recognize the word dill, you have to click on dill when it shows at the top of keyboard then it should recognize it.
