Every so often my keyboard will freeze im am stock not rooted, a message says unfortunately keyboard has stopped, then the crap keyboard is stuck on the screen and I must wait until it goes away on its own, I am using samsung stock keyboard and I have went into settings and wiped the data from the keyboard app and the problem finds its way back. Any help would be good thanks.
This seems on point

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
TL;DR: My phone is experiencing a very similar problem to the broken internal SD after Froyo update, except on eclair and is fixed (apparently temporarily) with a factory reset. I'm on Telus, bought the phone from somebody off craigslist and have a return receipt. What should I do?
So for the second time in a few days my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000M from bell, bought on craigslist running on telus) was having problems opening an app so I restarted it. (The first time Market would force close whenever I tried to open it, the second time it was Browser). After the app force closed a few times I did a restart. The first time I restarted it (when Market froze) it went to the lock screen, with the default background (it looked like my data was all wiped). After unlocking the screen, I got a perpetual series of force close messages. This happened each time. I had to do a factory reset and lost all my settings, photos, messages and everything (No backups, of course. Facepalm). Then today I pretty much had it back to the way it was before the reset, and Browser force closes repeatedly on opening. I restart the phone again and this time it only gets to the 'S' animation then goes black/restarts after the animation stops. The capacitive buttons sometimes light up. Similar to the issues from the Froyo update I think, except I didn't update to Froyo. I can get to the 3-button recovery screen and do system reset as well which seems to not help the froyo issue, I think. It's currently working but I'm not sure how long that will last. I'm not pleased about having a phone I have to re-setup every few days. (I'm actually pretty angry...)
Anyway, I have a "Mobile Device Repair and Return Receipt" from the seller from craigslist. It's still under warranty. Anybody else experience this? Can I take it to bell and have it fixed with the documentation I have? What would you suggest I do here?
I have an issue with keyboards on DDKL5 and KL1 stock ROMs. Here's how to recreate the situation:
1. Keep a text box focused - talk, market, messaging, any text box - and the keyboard open (any keyboard, including Samsung keypad/Swype).
2. Let the screen time-out. (Wait till it turns off)
3. Press a button to turn on the screen, you should be presented with the same text box.
4. Type something.
Here is where the problem is : The keyboard won't type anything at all. You'll be pressing buttons, it'll be suggesting words, but there will be no text output on screen. The only way to get it to write is to restart the app, or wait for some 30 seconds.
Anybody else have this problem?
I'm rooted, running CF root kernel.
Even i was using DDKL5 for couple of days and felt bit lagging compared to LA6.. so i switched back to LA6..

I dont know about LA5 but in ICS 4.0.3 there is no problem at all.
Tried it. No issue!

I thought so...If it were a widespread issue, there would be more threads about it
I keep having these weird issues all the time. On my laptop, KIES won't start. Anyhow, that's another thing. I'll go dunk my head in a bucket of cold water, see if that helps. I could also try to flash a clean stock ROM, full wipe and all, and see if the issue persists, then restore each app one by one to see what's causing the problem. Too much work!
Thanks for telling me
I have no issue on LA5 or never on any previous ROM KL7/LA1/3/4
I think you shold have backup user data with titanium backup or else you feel better. Hard reset device n just restore user application. Dont restore any sustem junk of previous backup. You can backup Contacts with inbuilt function, SMS with many application available on Market. Hope problem should be get solved.
Just updated my phone to the official ICS. (XEN)
Now, Swype works for an hour or so, after that it doesn't react anymore.
Allready did an factory reset, but i still have the same problem.
Does anybody know whats going on, and how I can solve this?
Reboot every hour is a little
Ok, I think Thumb keyboard is the problem.
I bought this a while ago, so with restoring my Google account it was installed automatically after the factory reset.
After deleting this prog the phone works fine.
I hope it stays like this...
Use swift keyboard X
It's best.... I was tried every keyboard out there but bought only swift x..

I have this same problem. It suddenly freezes and will not work. Only way to get it started is to choose another keyboard, wait a long time, then go back. It STILL freezes after a while. STUPID ICS update.
I have googled everywhere and there still isn't a solution. SWYPE can't do anything cause its built into the Samsung update and not a stand alone app... Come one Samsung! How can you put out an update without checking! Grrrrrr
I need my swype working!
Ok, it did freeze again but just once.
Eskasi, what firmware do you have?
Mine is XEN.

At last someone else has the same issue as me!!!! I am on an SGS2 and it's doing my head in, no matter what version of MIUI I install the new swype just stops working as you say unless I choose another keyboard then it seems to be hit and miss whether it works or not.
Any solution found?
After installing another rom I am fed up with this, there is however an alternative, try the TouchPal Keyboard, similar to swype and actually in a couple of instances better, like sliding up on the number keys to get a number straight away or slide down to get a character straight away, rather than holding the button down, so far after 5 minutes of use works fine. See how you get on.
Try Touchpal Keyboard from the market - it's free and I find is so far as accurate as swype without the headache of freezing.
Same problem for me after ics update. It would freeze on me and while doing that drain my battery as well. Note is performing so much better after disabling swype. I hope they come with a fix soon though,I love swype...

My s3 doesn't keep settings after a restart and basically has never been 100% at it. Eg. Ring tones will revert to default, default application settings get forgotten. Phone has been rooted before but actually isn't right now.
Running 4.1.2
I have done a factory data reset.
Any thoughts?
Due to it being rooted and had a replacement screen im hesitant to return it for warranty
@OP, I closed your other thread in the I9300 section. Use this one please and thanks.
My S3 LTE never remembers which launcher to use. I have to tell it use SPB3Dshell every time I turn it on instead of Touchwiz. Thats the only thing though everything else is .
I`m unrooted and on 4.1.2 stock ROM
