[Q] Gingerbread keyboard popup blank

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.

this worked for me! thanks

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!

[Q] Can't change default dialer

I'm using Gingervolt rom 1.3 on my phone and I can't change the default dialer. I download Go contacts ex, and exdialer But I can't launch by default.
I have gone in to app and clear the default for default dialer still no luck.
Anyone has any idea.
Many Thanks.

Go into stock contacts.apk and clear defaults

Did you ever get this fixed?

Nop still not resolved

I am having bad lag on the dialer. Would another dialer app correct this? I have shirtcuts to the people I call the most set up and sometimes it takes about 30 seconds for the dialer to kick in after touching the contact.

I use go dialer with go contacts on Zeam launcher. I have the action bindings set to open dialer on double tap of the home screen. I've only ever set defaults on first launch though so I can tell you it works just not how to get there from stock. So, not so helpful.. Lol

Instead of clearing defaults for Contacts.apk, try clearing defaults for Phone.apk. Not sure if that will help but you never know. Let me know if it works!

I have the same problem with htc one x, after choosing the default dialler I cannot change it - clear default is greyed out. In fact I removed all the defaults, still no luck.

ICS: keyboard dock not working properly in Chrome

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.

Default keyboard always resets to stock.

I have had this keyboard problem for as long as I can remember. Lived with it for a while but it is driving me nuts and I need to fix it.
The default input method always reverts to the stock keyboard. I much prefer SwiftKey but cannot get it to remain as the default after selecting it.
After setting SwiftKey as the default it works for a few minutes while I test typing in a couple apps. Then I will need to type something and the stock keyboard had gone back to being the default.
I am rooted stock only and don't see any apps that have been disabled that look to be the culprit.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I cannot live with the stock keyboard any longer.
Help please!

Have you tried freezing it? I've totally uninstalled the stock keyboard, no issues.

I could not disable it but that's a great idea. I just used root explorer to rename the apk and it seems to work great.
Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.

Unfortunately Swype has stopped working. Any ideas?

Swype came installed on my phone, so it's all I really know as far as keyboards goes. It's always worked, but not sure what happened, but when I press the microphone it says "Unfortunately Swype has stopped working" and only option is to hit OK and it closes.
Any ideas what to do?

When this happens to me, I navigate to Settings - Apps - All (scroll to the right) - find Swype. Scroll down and click clear data.

Thanks! That partially solved my problem. While the microphone button works now, clearing the data made Swype look totally different and I can't find a way to get it to look like it did. Is there a spot for themes or something somewhere? I would like it to appear as it did when I bought my phone.
There's a settings icon on the keyboard.. when I go in there it brings up "HTC Sense Input Settings". Maybe it's not using Swype? Not sure how to get it back on. If I go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, I can find Swype settings. It says it's using Classic theme.

Go back to where you found that Swype was using classic theme and tap it. This will take you to where you can change your theme.

It's set as classic. I tried to change it to Silver then back to Classic no luck. The keyboard doesn't even look like any of the themes shown, so I'm guessing it's not using Swype. Not sure how to get it back.
Lemme reboot the phone and see what happens.
Not working.. it definitely is a different keyboard.. because I can't "swype" to type words.. just not sure how to get Swype to come back as default for everything.

Ok..... Open up a text message and get to the point where your HTC keyboard Pops up. From there, swipe down from the top of your screen where it shows what applications you have running. You should see "Choose input method." Tap on that and you should be able to change input method to Swype.

I love you long time. I'll keep both of these in my mental file. Solved.
