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.

I got customized nookie froyo 0.6.6 onto my nook color on the eMMC. After heavy set up (note: don't want to repeat it all again), I decided to switch my keyboard from Android keyboard to Gingerbread keyboard. It was already there anyway.
Right away, I get "Sorry! The application Gingerbread keyboard (process net.thinkdifferent.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Obviously trying again (going to any page, going to a text box) results in the same message. So it's a pain to navigate and it's not possible to type.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to switch keyboards without being able to see the keyboard and changing the input method? I can't get to the input method because the keyboard won't load.
I have ADB. Just let me know! I just prefer not to reflash so all my set up is gone. And I was just about to take a nandroid...

I had the same problem wth FCs when using the gingerbread keyboard. To get the "Android Keyboard" back, long-press any text input box, like the address bar in the browser, then choose input method from the pop-up. You may get FCs while doing this, just close it and try again.
I haven't figured out a solution to make the gingerbread keyboard work yet...

Thank you sooo much. That worked.
To those that have similar issues, you need an EMPTY text box and long press it. It cannot have text. I tried with Dolphin mini browser and the built-in browser and because it had text, I would only get copy, paste, add bookmarks and etc.
I could revert when I composed a new message in GMAIL and long pressed the text box for Compose.
Empty Text field example please
I have tried many text fields trying to long-press and return to the android keyboard. I do not get most to do anything while pressing. The Dolphin browser bar did pop up a menu but its the same as another poster says above in the thread, that it gives normal copy/ paste/ save options, nothing re: keyboard.
Any other suggestions for reverting off of the Gingerbread keyboard?
Thank you.
*Editing original, i located "Nook Color Tools", that is where the keyboard was changed and can be switched back. Poster in a separate thread also provided the answer for me as i was finding it myself. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955198&highlight=gingerbread+keyboard
This morning my 2 yo decided to have a play with my phone. He handed me the phone back and blurbed something like its was broken daddy.
When I had a look it had the below screen shot on the screen, "Unfortunately, (INSERT FOREIGN LANGUAGE HERE) Has Stopped."
The only thing I can see wrong is that the keyboard is now not working. Dialer still works but the keyboard in browser, sms, email........... have stopped working.
Every time I change screens this error pops up. I had a look in the apps menu and the keyboard is still showing as an installed app but its not showing in the running apps menu. I thought it normally did?
Anyone had this problem? Or can suggest a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tried with another keyboard ?
Thanks for that, I just found the problem.
My boy enable a k/board option (Chinese) that isn't an option. I can't disable in the k/board options but I can disable it in the programs.
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
Hello, I have ViperOne 6.2.1 (now 7.0.1) Android 4.4.2 (now 4.4.3) on HTC M7. My problem begun a few weeks ago, “maybe” when i installed f*** facebook messenger. My messaging applications were working ok, but for some reason now when I select to input text and the keyboard appears, the screen gets up and it crops the title bar say in Whatsapp, native messages app, viber, facebook messenger, etc. This does not happens in Notes app for example or ebay app when i search for something, etc. I have installed A.I type keyboard. I already tried to get uninstalled that A.I type keyboard and also uninstalling facebook messenger (the one i feel is guilty of this issue) but the issue stays. I know a little bit of programming and i guess some app changed a parameter in a config xml that messaging apps bases it screen layout, etc. If i am correct about this, which is that XML file and which parameters I need to change (auto resize, etc). I tried to search in ES File Explorer but i dont know where can it be that file…Hope you can help me with this problem, i also have screen captures if you need them.
I opened a ticket in venomroms.com and they only suggested to update to 7.0.1 so i did it. When I updated the Venom rom the problem got away but 3 weeks later the problem came back, now i dont want to reinstall the rom and spend 4 hours configuring every app again, knowing that in a few weeks the problem will come back.
I tried to google this, but only appears developer help pages on stackoverflow.com that tells to modify parameters on xml files of project but never the defautl action on android system when the keyboard comes up
Hope someone can help me
Thanks, Fernando
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
Disable or freeze the Samsung keyboard

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.

I keep google voice typing enabled for occasional use while driving if I need to respond to a txt asap, along with an alternate (jellybean) keyboard as primary, it's never caused an issue for me before
Day 2 into using swiftkey keyboard (with google voice typing enabled) without any disabling/resetting to default samsung keyboard problems
On a side note, if I could remove the word suggestion bar I'd probably keep swiftkey now, got a theme i like on it and learning to enjoy it, though I dont use the swype function at all
