I am having this problem where while I am using the keyboard in any given application and while typing the application randomly closes while I am typing.
Anyone noticed this?
EDIT:
Never mind...I think I was hitting the home button or back button...I am still not used to the on screen buttons...!! LOL

Recently, I've been getting a slight glitch (don't know if that's the proper word) after holding down the home button to view recent apps. After doing it, and pressing the home button to go back to home, I get the pop-up box to select the default home. It seems that every time I view recent apps, it erases the default home... I tried uninstalling home++, which is what I use, using a different home alternative, and the same happens.
Anyone else have this problem?
This might be a simple error on my part.
Edit- I check it to be default, but viewing recent apps seems to erase the default option.
When you press home there should be a box with default box to check. If check then the default or alternative home replacement should now be the default return when going home.
Checking the box doesn't do anything... viewing recent apps erases the default home setting.
Update
I wiped and am still getting the same issue.
I'm running cyanogen latest...
this started happening randomly, and I've tried to find the cause but haven't been able to...
is anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here on two phones I hadn't correlated it to the holding of the home button but I just tested it and that is the problem. This is annoying, I don't have many shared apps between the two phones either to blame.
Hi,
I'm using stock 2.3.3 w/ stock launcher, build GRI40. Occasionally, when I press home, I see my live wallpaper but no launcher. I either have to sit for a while until launcher reappears or reboot the phone (or kill the launcher app if System is in app history). Does anyone else have this problem?
Another problem I have is with Maps. Sometimes when searching, the soft keyboard doesn't show up but if I tap where the keys would be, it registers the press as if the kb is there.
And sometimes when going into the details for a point in the map and bringing up the context menu for more options, the screen darkens as if the dialog is there but no dialog is shown. Again, when I tap the screen, it registers the presses as if the dialog is there. I'm using HTC IME mod for N1. Killing the map app doesn't help, only a reboot seems to solve it.
Anyone else having these issues?
Are any of these apps installed on your SD? That would be the obvious fix...

No, all on the internal memory. This is stock Android so stock apps can't be moved to the sd card.
When you update from the Market, the update is placed in /data/app, not system/app, so it's possible your Maps is in data. I know that was a source of Maps problems for me, which I resolved by moving it back to system. If you're not rooted, you don't have that option through... Tricky... :-/

I know that I've been having problems with the new keyboard, wont show up, wont show key press popups, crashes completely. Maybe it's something I'm doing... I think it's something system wide that just effects the keyboard workings.
I don't know. but you're not the only one with key board issues. =)

I've started having a strange problem with HTC IME Mod. I type stuff and it never draws the suggestions although the suggestions are actually there - moving the Dpad left/right shows the text being replaced in the input box with the suggestion.
This is starting to look like a GB issue tbh, I never had any of these problems in Froyo. All my stuff is stock.

I saw this problem once, about 24 hours after installing 2.3.3. I was also experiencing severe battery drain. The battery monitor showed "Android OS" using most the battery. I found references to setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never" to correct this. Sure enough, the battery life has been fine and "Android OS" no longer uses much battery.
It may be coincidental, but since doing this, I haven't had the empty home screen problem and my phone has been up for over a week. You might give this a try if you haven't already and see if it helps.

It was already set to 'Never' but I've set it again to 'Never'. Lets see if it makes a difference
(Sorry if this has been covered before - I couldn't find anything by searching!)
When I go into the default 'Messaging' app on my Galaxy S (to write a text message), it often quits out, more or less immediately back to the home screen.
It isn't like a force close or a crash/freeze, but as though someone has pressed the back or home button to return to the home screen. Sometimes I can go back in no problems, other times this cycle goes on for a few times until I can successfully open the messaging app long enough to write a message.
Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a workaround?
I'm running Gingerbread.XXJVQ and ADW EX as my custom launcher if that helps.
Wow. Third thread... Not quite the same but similar thing happening over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18068298
Thanks for the pointer Talon26.
I'll keep an eye on that thread to see if any answers surface.
I recently flashed the official ics update for the p7310, and installed Chrome. I noticed that when entering text using the samsung keyboard dock, some of the keys don't work as expected. The period key seems to be acting as the delete key, the delete key does nothing, the quote key seems to be acting as a right arrow key, but only sometimes, and the on screen keyboard button does nothing.
needless to say, trying to type this post has been quite fun.
this just a bug in Chrome? Anyone have any ideas for a work-around? Or do I just have to not use Chrome when I want to use the keyboard dock?
I thought I was the only one and it was a random bug. I can verify that this has happened to me as well.

Hi,
I don't have the keyboard dock but I don't have any screen issues.
I type just fine on chrome?
What is the language of your tablet? I have english (united kindgom)... maybe that's it...
have you select the samsung onscreen keyboard while using the dock ?
i read somewhere the onscreen keyboard has to be set to the samsung one when using the dock.
i have the dock but no ics for me till now (p7300 3g unbranded)

Yes, I have the onscreen keyboard set to samsung when I use the dock. For some reason, it always auto-switches to the samsung keyboard when I put it in the dock, even though the text that pops up says to manually switch it.
Ironically enough, i just tried setting the keyboard to swiftkey while using the keyboard dock, and my period key is now working correctly in chrome.
I guess I can live with that as a workaround when I want to use the keyboard dock in chrome. Delete key still doesn't work though and the quote key is still tempermental.
Hi guys,
Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on the following issue:
If I type out a something but then hold backspace to delete words that I want to change, the deleted words reappear. If I tap backspace multiple times rather than holding it then everything gets deleted as it should do.
It ONLY happens when typing within html text boxes (only tested within Chrome, no other browsers), so there are no problems when typing in the address/search bar or when messaging or using gmail etc, and it only happens with the Xperia Keyboard (I've tried to replicate with SwiftKey but it works fine).
I've deleted cache and data for both Chrome and Xperia Keyboard but this hasn't fixed the issue.
Running Kit Kat, not Lollipop.
Any suggestions?! Has anyone else experienced this?
Cheers, WSS.
