While typing on keyboard, phone will crawl to a stop, forcing me to reset

I tried searching my issue but there was nothing I found relating to it...
Last couple of days I've had an annoying issues to say the least, while typing up a message or adding a note in my calendar, the typing will stop and I'm basically stuck staring at the static screen. The phone isn't frozen, since the cursor bar is still flashing where the input stopped responding, and I am able to call upon the windows taskbar/menu by pressing the windows logo on the keyboard. If I'm lucky I can also flip the keyboard back inside and the orientation will change if the phone is still somewhat responsive by that point.
Otherwise there isn't much I can do, except do a soft reset by shoving the stylus in the reset hole.
The problem seems to be localized within the calendar app or the text messaging app, because I'm able to switch to a different application if im quick enough, however trying to terminate the problematic calendar or messaging app, it won't shut down.
I hope my detailed description will produce an answer - I'd hate to have to go and flash a new rom and all that business because of this issue.
Thanks for reading.

If you're using custom ROM, I suggest you post at the custom ROM thread. If you're using stock ROM, then perhaps there're some corruption and you might need hard reset.
(Beware, if you use WM 6.5 custom, and didn't flash OEM before flashing custom, you'll get reminded by others that you should flash OEM before flashing 6.5)

thx 4 the tip

[Q] Keyboard problem

My keyboard has started having problems. I hit 1 key and 3 other type and not what I hit. When I try to delete to correct then 7 or 8 other figures type out.
I have rebooted (cold restart) and still having problems.
Any suggestions besides wiping and reloading?
Thanks,

You may try other keyboards. I was having the same issues with the GB board. Switched to swifkey. It is a paid app but I have no issues with it.

Sounds like you got a dirty screen. Maybe a little speck you don't notice. I've had that before. Dampen a paper towel or cloth with water and give the screen a good once over. Finish off with a micro-fiber cloth, if you have one. That's what I do when what I touch isn't being recognized properly.

I installed a 'freebee' keyboard and that seemed to clear up some of the problems but it occasionally messes up. It is something I can live with till the next reflash.
Thanks all...

I was having the same problem and read somewhere that if your nook is charging by being plugged into the wall charger the keyboard acts crazy.
As long as I don't have it plugged in my keyboard is fine.

Keyboard will not display anymore (Clicked Gingerbread in settings)
I'm having an issue being able to get the keyboard back. While in the N.C. settings, i clicked on Keyboard to see what options were listed in there. There was Keyboard, and Gingerbread Keyboard as two options. i clicked Gingerbread but now do not see any keyboard come up on display when i click into any field that is editable.
Any ideas of how this is reset or reloaded to the normal keyboard? I am new with the Nook so i'm not real familiar (obviously).
thanks in advance.

Under apps go to NookColor Tools
then choose keyboard and go back to the regular keyboard

Thank you
Hey i just found the NookColor Settings, that is where i was, not the native settings menu. this allows the switch back to android keyboard..................
And i just saw the response above. Thank you as well for that!
Now if i can just get GMAIL to login for me. I believe there is a thread about getting rid of the cache from youtube and gmail (since i had already logged in under my name before the root that i performed, the NC isn't accepting the login it just returns me to sign-in / sign-up screen). If anyone has that in their memory please post the link, or i'll search around for it.

I didn't see this little fact posted so I'll do it. When you change the keyboard that you're going to use, and it's the first time entering text, do a long click on the text input window. It should come up with a pop-up window asking you which keyboard you want to use to enter the text.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Does your swype mess up randomly?

A lot of the time when i am typing on my phone with Swype, i get errors and just completely wrong word suggestion.
Example: Typing a full word without lifting my thumb from the screen, but it picks up 2+ random words. -or- It will not let me use the backspace key; I press and hold, but when nothing happens and i lift my thumb off the screen, it just says "Please try again."
I don't really see it with the screen, like when i'm in the browser just scrolling or playing a game. I don't know if it's just swype or if it's the built-in keyboard, as well. I've already had the phone replaced with a 'like new' substitute due to this problem. Prior to replacement, the phone was factory reset, with minimal apps reinstalled. Now my replacement phone is also doing it.
I do use GOSMS as my texting app so i can backup messages.
Phone is stock on latest OTA update, never rooted.
Anyone else seeing things like this?

[Q] Problems while on the phone

Hi all. I'm using my Z1 withour rooting on .136 version.
While I'm talking on the phone, I noticed that there are some problems annoyed me quite a lot.
1. I couldn't enter the chat page on any messaging apps like whatsapp, line, etc.
but I could only enter the page showing the list of chats instead. (No matter I enter the app by launching them on home screen or by pressing the notifications)
2. the three buttons on the bottom have no response if I'm not on the call in progress page. Nothing happen when I pressed back button....
3. Tried using the Note small app to jot down some info while on the phone, the small app did launched normally but I couldn't input any thing in it since the keyboard is not popping up.
I am not sure whether I'm the only one having these problems or do I have something set wrongly? These problems are so frustrating since I couldn't reply to any message while I'm making calls until I finish my call...
I tried to factory reset my phone but end up these problems are still here.

it s software problem
u should use PC companion to repair ur firmware (if u have root access it will void by repairing)
if u have root access and want it u should search for another pre-rooted firmware in dev-section that be more stable.
:good:

I prefer sticking to the original firmware at the moment but it seems I'm the only one having this problem :/
I tried to reset the device and tried to repair it.. the problems are still here unfortunately

Keyboard on Home Screen

Searched the forum but didn't see anyone having the same problem I do.
Just got the Note a few days ago but I have an annoying problem. Whenever I exit and app or unlock the phone to the home screen, the keyboard will just pop up by itself. It'll go away when I hit the back button.
I've tried removing all widgets and apps from the home screen and it still shows up.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Thanks.

i dont know on that one.
I had a similar problem with android in general.
Normally i would have the keyboard out and type something then hit back or home and the keyboard would still be there until i hit back again.
Happens a few times here and there on a few different phones.
But it seems like your saying its happening all the time?
Try to clear out the cache and see if that helps it.
Also check the ram on the phone and see if there is any apps staying in the memory that could be the cause. (3rd parts apps)

I just rebooted for the first time since getting the phone. The problem has seemed to go away.... for now. Should have done that before creating a new thread lol.
