After a while the keyboeard popup disapears, i don't see anything but when i release it uses the icon or number but it's really annoying. i also posting a screenshot to show it, the dot button is pressed to show the popup, but there is nothing to see.
Before people are starting to say wipe everything, i'm not a noob at this i flashed everything used different roms currently i'm using modified stock ROM. it was also present with CM7 builds (nightlies & rc)
Gb version GRI40 with stock kernel. I just wanted to know if other people have the same issue.
ps: reboot does fix the problem but annoying to reboot it every time.
Update:
thnx to tommert38 there is a way to get the popup working again bij 'Clear data' in Settings > Applications > Manage applications. This will remove all the keyboard settings and maybe dictionary (not sure about this).
this is also a reported issue found here > http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15029
I've experience the same problem. I've tried foreclosing the keyboard but that doesn't work.
So far the only solution I know is a restart.

fine to hear that i'm not the only one with this issue but not fine to hear that there is a bug like this.
I also tried FC the keyboard and didn't work and this happens everyday.
What if you select 'Clear data' in Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All, under Android keyboard ?
I installed a custom keyboard with English and Dutch dictionary and had this issue once, but when I cleared data it was fine again..
If you have more than one keyboard installed, you can switch to the other keyboard and back again by long pressing the text field and selecting the Input Method option. It's a workaround, but it's easier than rebooting the phone...

Ok so i'ts a official GB Bug, i didn't read it anywhere so i thought i was the only one.
I believe I've seen the same, on Gingerbread, but running another keyboard (AnySoftKeyboard). The keyboard disappeared and didn't appear until reset. At the same time, switching to the regular Gingerbread keyboard worked - it showed up. Switching back to AnySoftKeyboard before reset again brought it blank.

Im getting the same issue on a stock GB N1... Only happened once so far though, and I solved it by rebooting the phone...
Having the same issues even on the Nexus S. Fixed by force closing the android keyboard. Never happened before until recently. I think its GB.
I dont remember having this issue on GB 2.3.2 (when using CM7 Nightlies) did this happen after the update to 2.3.3?
I have the same problem using HTC Ime Mod (oxygen 2.0.1, HTC Desire). In this mod there is an option to kill te keyboard. That's enough to fix it!
Yea, this only happened after upgrading to gingerbread. Stock 2.3.3, never modified.
If i clear the Android keyboard data, doesn't that mean i loose the keyboard permanently? I'd need another keyboard as a backup right?

No you won't loose your keyboard only the settings of the keyboard and maybe (not sure) custom dictionary.
I saw this thread yesterday (never noticed the bug until I after I read this ) but have noticed it several times now. I just took the keyboard from CM7 RC1 and pushed it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk. I haven't been using it very long, but so far I have not gotten the bug again. I will report back after a few hours of usage on my finding. Also, I noticed nothing functionality wise that differs from the 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 LatinIME's.
Update: the bug occurred anyways, but force closing the keyboard restored it to working function.

Clearing the keyboard means that all settings go to default. This means I only have to select which dictionaries I want to use, because I don't touch the other settings It won't delete your keyboard and it's still better than rebooting the phone!

Hi,
I've been using Swype for some two weeks now, today starting having massive problems with it (huge lagging of the application affecting the entire system, rendering it nearly unusable). I don't know if this can attributed to this, but at one point today I did a battery stats wipe, after some time when I checked and it turned out that Swype had been using some 20% of my total battery usage. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but no improvement (still massive slowdown). Then I flashed from CM 5.0.5.2 to 5.0.5.3, still no improvement. Afterwards I tried installing ShapeWriter and SlideIt- both force close the instant I try to enter into their respective settings, or select them as the input method, Swype did not force close.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
At least you can still use it. Mine has been disabled for a few days now and the old trick to use it doesn't work anymore (switching to another kb and then switching back to swype)
Actually the lag was so huge that it was unsuable. I uninstalled a couple apps I didn't use and that seemed to have worked - swype works normally again, but I seem to be experiencing another problem - newly installed apps from the market force close upon launch.
I think am experiencing similar problems also, when ever I try to bring up the keyboard to type it freezes up, so am using stock kb at the moment and all this started happening after I installed cyanogen 5.0.3.n1.

Did you import any word list into your user dictionary? I discovered that this why swype froze.
Also, slideIT and shapewriter force closed because because of user permissions.

Same issue with Meridian Pro player, the widget would make it crash.
Deleting the widget, clearing application data, then re-adding the widget fix it.
Note that clearing the application data makes it forget your unlock code for the pro version. Make sure you have a copy of your code before clearing the data.

I always chuckle when people say they avoid CM7 and other ROMs because they want to "avoid bugs".

Do you really need to keep evangelizing CM? This is XDA, we know about CM7. If we wanted to be running it we would be already.

Just close the Market and then re-open and you're back at the new one. You may need to kill Market in app management, or just wait a couple of minutes to go back in.

I use CM72 and love it. It's so much better and stable. Kernel I use ETANA loc. It boosts CPU speed to merely 1.2GHz. Very stable and rock solid. No crashes so far. GPS locks in seconds. RIL 725 from v20d ASIAN version since I'm in Indonesia. It's been much better than other RIL so far.

1. Install a different Keyboard. I highly recommend SwiftKey but there are other great keyboards too. This shouldn't be an issue.
2. Did you install the gapps for CM7.2? This installs Google applications such as the Market, Gmail, Talk, etc.
3. Use a different application for that. I use GoBackup to backup that stuff. There are probably much better apps for that but as long as it works I can't complain.
4. You should relax a bit, you do sound a little bit angry.

GoBackup isn't better than Titanium backup but you can backup your contacts etc. on there. You just have to restore the backup once you flash cm7.2.
Why doesn't Google Play work? Either you installed the wrong gapps or you did something wrong while installing cm7. Try the following gapps; http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
You don't have any accounts? Then add a Google account. Once your phone boots after installing the gapps it should ask you to add a Google account. Just follow the steps. Once that's done start the Market once and close it. It'll take a few minutes eventually to update itself to the Play Store. Once the icon changes you're ready to use Google Play.
Cm7.2 IS gingerbread. It's based on GB 2.3.7.

did you follow the instructions to wipe all before flashing? u must flash gapps too. Keyboard, I'm using swype and swiftkey. Swiftkey has greek if I'm not wrong. Not sure about swype. Never liked the stock keyboard anyway.
My contacts work flawlessly and even sync with friendcaster's contacts. Titanium also works great. I keep changing back and forth between CM72 and Paranoid Android. But for everyday, I use CM72. If I want to try ICS custom rom, I use PA. I backup n restore nandroid regularly. As for the data and the apps, I use titanium to backup and then after flashing new rom, I restore back from titanium. Everything works great. Except that CM72 is not ICS. I luv ICS.

That's strange. Why do they crash? They're not supposed to crash at all. I think you did something wrong while installing your ROM or the Gapps. Have you tried fixing the permissions? You can do that in the ROM Manager app or in the recovery menu.

I use CM7.2 with the Etana stock kernel and love it.
I have one and only one gripe - When I press the power button after the phone is in idle, it takes 1-2 seconds before my lockscreen appears. This lag can be quite annoying but otherwise the phone performs great.
Does anyone else experience the delay when waking up the phone from idle?

No. I didn't experience that. But sometimes I need to clear the memory. I use ics theme from go launcher that has memory management. Can't remember the name. When the memory is dark red, I just press broom icon to clean up most memory. Then it works fast again.

You can set the maximum "screen off" CPU speed in apps such as PimpMyCPU and MyrtOTF. That'll most likely fix your problem. Setting it to 216MHz for example consumes less power but your screen needs a bit longer to turn on. Set it to a higher value and you'll be able to turn your screen on quickly. If that's not the case, check whether your RAM is sufficient or not. Use a task killer to clean up your RAM a bit.

Important note; do NOT restore the calendar app, etc. via TitaniumBackup! That causes massive crashes. I bet that's your issue.
No, SwiftKey isn't free but still the best keyboard imho. That was just a recommendation, you can get a different keyboard of course.

i'm trying the go keyboard, but has some annoying adds on it's settings screen.
yeap and for you have to pay
Hey guys,
So I've tried everything I can think of, but my google voice typing icon does nothing when I touch it. If I hold it down, it still brings up settings, but just stays inactive when I touch it. I was able to use it after I first flashed the captivating rom, in fact I mistakenly made it my default keyboard somehow.... and once I figured out how to turn it off of default (reset the phone to apply settings) for some reason it stopped working. Not sure if there's any more options short of backing up and re-flashing.
I'm still using the same captivating rom, with unofficial semaphore kernel.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Which version of the ROM are you running? I'm currently running X6 and I've had some other odd keyboard issues. Have you tried resetting the default keyboard? (I know you took off the other one from default but what did you set as the default after)
I have tried both xperia keyboard and the android keyboard as default. Neither work
X6 here too
I'll try to download the google voice app later when I get home from work. If any one else has had any keyboard issues your input would also be appreciated .
Yeah I downloaded Google voice a couple hours ago, hoping it could fix it. Are they actually related though?
It's odd because it's only the keyboard icon that won't access google voice typing... I can do voice search etc.
Odd, I'll try this as well once I get home. Just to note, I DID NOT flash X6 from a clean install. I "dirty" flashed it over X5. Not sure if you did as well (It wouldn't come as a surprise if this was the cause of some of these issues, if you did this as well).
Actually I did flash from stock.

X7 is posted now and I've heard it fixes some of the keyboard issues. Hope it helps.
i love to use use swiftkey. But on galaxy s6, even after I choose swiftkey as default keyboard, samsung keyboard turns itself into default keyboard after a while (anywhere from few minutes to hours...). it is so annoying to select manually swiftkey all the time. Any way around this issue?
gurus , any idea ?
if nothing else you could probably use tasker to automatically set swiftkey as your default keyboard every X minutes/hours and/or when you use X programs.
OR you might be able to make it notify you via popup/alarm when samsung keyboard becomes default in order to try and pinpoint the cause
It'd be a little more advanced than anything I've done with tasker so I can't give you step by step instructions on the setup you'd need to create, but a quick google yielded these instructions, you could tweak it to your needs:
http://code.rawlinson.us/2012/10/android-change-keyboard-based-on-app.html
it's not a real fix, but a temporary workaround is better than nothing. I'm currently using tasker to workaround an issue I have with MMS not sending when connected to wifi. (Shuts wifi off for 10 seconds when mms comes in)
Questions:
-Have you attempted using another 3rd party keyboard to see if it does it to all keyboards or just swype? I use "Jelly Bean Keyboard" (downloadable from google play) and I can say once or twice its gone back to samsung keyboard, but i THINK that was due to me tinkering and accidentally resetting defaults.
-though more than likely useless, have you tried wiping your cash? shut phone off then hold power + home + volume up (or is it down?) and select wipe cash then restart phone
-finally although I don't recommend this until all other options are exhausted, it's worth asking just to know what you've tried, have you done a factory reset yet?
i've downloaded swiftkey and set it as default in my S6 just to try and help, I'll use it for a day or two and see if it resets on me and report back

From what I know you can't disable Samsung keyboard, at least not without root
Edit: nevermind, went into input method in settings and yes theres a disable option for Samsung keyboard.
Ive been using swiftkey since yesterdays post, so far no issue, its stayed as the selected option
finally, got it working. I have been trying to disable samsung keyboard from settings, but it will enable itself everytime. this time, i have also disabled google voice typing option, and now Swiftkey stays as default. I dont know what is the co-relation between the two, but it works. Thanks all of you for various suggestions.
