So randomly in the last 2 days my Google keyboard has started acting up and I don't know why. If it has been awhile (greater than 5 minutes) since the last time I typed anything on my phone when I select a spot to input text the voice input comes up and I have to pause it and then press a button to trigger the keyboard to come up. I have no idea what is suddenly causing this and can not think of anything I may have changed to cause it. I have looked through every setting I can think of and nothing seems to correct the issue. Does anyone have any idea what else to try?
Here is what I see:

Driving me nuts. I clearedndata and reinstalled app from play store. The mic is even missing in the HTC sense KB(HTC one)

Anyone else having issues with people not hearing you the first 5 seconds after you pick up a call?
It sometimes takes about 5 seconds before someone on the other end hears me after I pick up a call. I am starting to believe it is the voice caller id app that I have installed but I am not positive about that. Anyone else having the same issue?
no...i dont have that issue...logic would say "remove the app" and see if you have the issue....
me too!
I have had the exact same issue. I have changed SIM with ATT. Swapped phones with Google/HTC. Master reset the phone. Uninstalled all apps and master reset the phone. Now, with no apps, just a naked phone, it appears to be working correctly. I am very frustrated. My smart phone only works correctly when it is dumbed down.
mine only has that problem in my apartment, where my signal is pretty crappy. otherwise, no issue
slowly adding back applications
The issue is independent of signal strength for me. I should mention that I am running stock/non rooted android ROM.
still adding. apps back
Continuing to add applications back 1 by 1 until the problem returned. At this point problem has not returned. I'm beginning to suspect a touchdown application. I think it is interfering with my contacts synchronization with my exchange server. The corruption of the contacts maybe causing the inbound calls to delay.
Has anyone else had a problem with the keyboard? At times the keyboard doesnt show what im typing in the box, better keyboard, IME Mod does it untill i choose touch input and use that for a little while then both of those work again. It does at random times every day, anyone now why it does this?
Does this happen at startup or just randomly? ive seen this in drachdroid also, i think its a memory error or something, just exit out of the app (kill it) and reopen, should be fine.
Or its a kernal issue? anyone?
it happens randomly , i have to switch to touch input ofr a few minutes and then the other keyboards work again, even the touch input delays a bit sometimes before what you wrote appears in the box
Yea I had this happen to me the other day . No matter what letter I pressed the letter q would show up . Simple reset did the trick

Hello.
I have a strange problem with my Note. I noticed this a few weeks ago and thought it might just fix itself automatically. However, it hasn't.
The issue is when using YouTube or Play Store. When searching for something the keyboard will freeze but only when the word begins with "O".
So for example if I search for "Opera Mini" on Play Store the keyboard will lock up. Same happens if I search for "Call Of Duty" on YouTube, the keyboard will lock up when I go to type "Of".
I've restarted my phone and tried all the usual fixes but nothing has worked so far.
This problem didn't occur when I first bought the phone, it only came on a few weeks ago so I'm not sure what triggered it.
If anyone else has come across this issue or heard about I'd appreciate some feedback.
Thanks.
FYI - I am running stock Android 2.3.6 with the stock keyboard.
I'm not sure whether my trivial problem is similar to yours. But I have experienced, yet very infrequently, that my Swype keyboard wouldn't type the letter "w" when the word start with it. I was able to close the app and back again and the keyboard works fine.
Honestly, I don't know the reason behind your weird problem. But why don't you try using another keyboard?
I've tried other keyboards but I just prefer the stock one.
I'm currently using Swype keyboard until I can figure out my problem.
Okay, I've got several Samsung Keyboard issues, so bear with me as I explain as it may be a bit long.
First and foremost, my keyboard keeps crashing. At first, I assumed this was just a general issue that a reboot was necessary in order to fix. This is entirely not the case, as it even happens directly after a reboot at times. Also, they keyboard crashing happens in several different ways. This normally happens while using Kik messenger, but it does happen at times while using normal text messaging as well, so I'm assuming Kik isn't the problem.
1)Normal keyboard crash, where it gives an error and the phone tells me it has stopped working.
2)Keyboard entirely disappears, yet I can still type by touching the black area where the keyboard would normally be.
3)Keyboard doesn't disappear, but text entered doesn't appear inside the text box until after closing the keyboard.
4)Keyboard crashes normally, causing either (2) or (3) to happen.
I'm unsure what's going on. I am running a rooted system, so I'm guessing it may be some issue with the root combined with something I've installed, but I'm unsure what it could be. Keyboard was (and has been) working fine for months and months, and I haven't installed anything new since the day I rooted.
I'm rooted with Rooted Community Rom. I've not had any problems with this root since I've installed it, so I don't know what the Hell is going on. Any input would be wonderful, especially if someone could tell me what's causing this to happen, or if others have this issue.

I'm thinking 1) is due to Low Memory causing Force Close (due to many running apps) or the Keyboard App data somehow got corrupted and 2) and 3) are happening due to GPU not being able to draw the Keyboard and letters when called upon; can't entirely be sure unfortunately.
I can think of two solutions to try however:
Clear Data and Cache of Keyboard App
Go to Settings -> Apps -> ALL -> Keyboard
Select Clear data and Clear cache
Reboot or start a messaging app and start typing again
Try another Keyboard App
Many options available, try: AOSP Keyboard, Google Keyboard, Swype
Hope that helps!
Clearing it and letting it reload does fix all of the issues, but it just happens again shortly after. I don't have very many apps, and normally still have around 100MB RAM free at all times. I don't use social media or anything on the phone at all, and most everything else is just Google things, Kik messenger, and stuff pre-installed on the phone(Like the normal sms app, phone app, etc) Reboot, clearing memory, etc, all have the same result. Fixes the problem, only for it to happen again shortly afterward. Sometimes, in the case of the keyboard going blank, clearing memory doesn't fix the issue. It re-loads with a blank keypad. Doesn't happen very often, but it did once or twice today.
I've tried using Swype since it's already pre-installed, but it's not really the same size as the standard keypad and it's difficult to adjust to typing on it :\ I suppose I'll have to make due with using it for now, because that keypad doesn't seem to freeze or crash at all as I've used it (wasn't for very long, but the normal keypad tends to crash at least twice within the span of an hour if it's used regularly).
It wouldn't even be a problem if it wasn't happening so damned often. I'm used to things crashing at random, because having a load of apps (before) caused it to make things crash sometimes. But this is definitely not a "sometimes" issue. It's a "Please God, make it stop" issue lol

I know how that feels. I remember experiencing those keyboard symptoms you mentioned in the past. Frankly, I couldn't leave the stock ROM fast enough.
You should try AOSP or Google Keyboard, the keys are bigger and appear less confusing than Swype.
So, wondering if anyone else is having this. It definitely seems to be software related, I just can't for the life of me figure out what installed app did this, but hoping someone has the same issue and will chime in here. At random, the top left where the menu button is in Google Play store, for example, will act like it's not taking my touch input. The same goes for where the Edge app/contacts is. I know it to be software because if I rotate the screen in Google Play, the menu button still doesn't work and it's in a different spot while rotated obviously, so not physical from what I can see/determine. I did a factory reset only a few weeks ago, after the last update (as I usually do) and it was fine then (and right after).

Ive had similar issues on OE2 stock.. it seemed the whole top half of the screen wouldnt recognize input and this waseven after reboots and hard resets..
It wasnt til i went back to a fresh install of a custom rom where i got it back.
I havent been able to determine a culprit outside of the software in general.
Yeah, I was sure it was software because if I pull the notification bar down and slide my finger past the "dead" area on the screen, it works fine. Also, the "dead" are moves with whether you are in portrait or landscape mode. What sucks is, my Edge bar seems to not work most of the time. Wish they'd fix this, I'm very certain it's not hardware.
Update: Think I found a fix. It's been a whole day without issues. Believe it or not, change the theme you are using (I was using default, hope you were too?). I switched to the free material theme I found in the store (I like it), and have had 0 touch issues since.
*Edit, well I had 2 good days, but the issue came back. Not as frequent, it seems, but can't nail down why it happened. I did a factory reset after this update, too.
