This has been happening the last few days, at least once if not twice daily, but I will unlock my phone to find out the Google Voice Keyboard is frozen with no way to force close it and block the bottom half of my screen on EVERY screen. The only way to get it to go away is to power off the phone and power it back on. This is getting very annoying since it happens so often.
Sometimes it appears out of nowhere, sometimes it is after I use voice typing. I have used voiced typing in between and it opens and closes fine. It seems very random.
Any thoughts to get it to stop?

Hi.
I have an odd behaviour of my S730/Wings. Say i make regular phonecall. No matter how long it is, 5 seconds or 5 minutes, the moment i hang up the call, the keyboard lock kicks in. A co-worker with the same phone doesn't have this issue, and i cant seem to figure out a way to switch it off. It is rather annoying
Anyone know how to solve this issue, so that the phone locks up only when left alone for some time, or with holding down the red button?
Any help is deeply appreciated

When you end a call... are you holding the end call (red) button, or just tapping it?
I just tap it, i'm aware of the hold-down-red-button-to-lock-keypad. So i cant understand why it locks up...

Hey,
I have a Bell SGS, totally stock. It's suddenly become incredibly slow.
I haven't installed any new apps recently, or changed any settings.
When I press an icon, any icon here is what happens:
- I put my finger on the icon and let go, nothing happens for 2 seconds.
- The icon goes 'dark' like it is being depressed, stays that way for about 3 seconds
- The icon finally gets 'clicked' and I get the 'ding' sound
- The screen goes black with only status bar for about 5 seconds
- finally the app will show up, but if I press anything, it is unresponsive
- the app will become responsive after about 5 more seconds
- If I click a text box (like in stock messaging app), it freezes for another 4-5 seconds, the keyboard doesn't come up
- Finally the keyboard will come up.
ALSO:
- The phone app takes ages to launch.
- Anytime there is a screen to scroll, the scrolling is unresponsive for the first few seconds, its painful
- pressing the home button takes ages to bring me to home screen
- Often the phone just locks up and I can't turn the screen on, have to do a battery pull (once a day or so), I can't figure out what is causing it.
There are no apps running while this is happening, I looked at all running processes and everything seems normal, nothing hogging CPU.
Reboots don't fix it, it comes back just as slow
All the haptic feedback is way late, sometimes the little buzzes get queued up, so it wont do anything, then all of a sudden it will buzz 10 times in a row as it catches up with the button presses
Samsung email (which I use because I like how it handles multiple accounts) is the slowest program in the phone. When it loads up, I click on one of my accounts, it takes literally 30 seconds to load the messages. Then I still can't scroll for another 10 seconds, its agonizing. Switch to the other account? Another 30 seconds. Both accounts are set to keep emails from the last 14 days (not that much).
So, what the hell is going on? I took it to the Bell store, and even with the stupid warranty, they said "well, its still working, so theres nothing we can do"
I just got my Nexus 6 yesterday, and I noticed two issues where it lagged and or was unresponsive.
1st Issue:
After getting the phone I decided to use it until it ran out of battery before charging it to 100%. I had Power Saving set to turn on when the phone hit 15%, and once it did I noticed that it started lagging pretty bad.
2nd Issue:
My phone is now rooted, stock rom, Franco Kernel, but I changed nothing. everything is set to the stock settings. While charging the phone I went to go use it and reply to a text message but the entire phone was being buggy. It was lagging, unresponsive at random times, the home button wasn't taking me to the home screen, when I tried texting the keyboard would come up but cover the are where I was typing in, instead of pushing the area above the keyboard, and my picture was where the send button should be next to the typing area.
I appreciate any help or ideas anyone can provide!
I purchased a used Republic Wireless Moto X (1st Gen) and in the beginning I was happy with the phone, but then I got to school with it...
The first thing I noticed was the issue the phone was having with the college's network. The network requires a one time login every 10 hours to authenticate that you are a student. I would login and the phone would work normally on the school's network until it turned the screen off or I hit the power button once to sleep the phone. Once you did this and then tried to use the phone again it was like there was no network even though it was connected and already authenticated. I am forced to disconnect from the school's network and reconnect every time I want to use WiFi if the screen was turned off...
Well that problem was annoying as hell, but it got even worse as time went on (2 weeks). Now I can barely even use the phone at all on campus or sometimes even at my own house. I will be trying to do something very simple like open txt messaging and it will show my messages and then load the names to match the cell numbers (slowly). However when I click on a message it will stay stuck at a white text body with the person's name at the top and a txt enter box at the bottom that I can't do anything with (keyboard won't pop up).
If I hit back normally it will freeze the phone and it will restart, this is my primary problem. When trying to do basic things like txt messaging the phone freezes and restarts itself. Once it restarts on its own, nothing has fixed. I try to open txt messaging again and I get the EXACT same problem and the phone will restart again. The only semi-solution I have found is once the phone restarts itself, I shut it down through the normal hold power button briefly and click power off. Then when it comes back up, SOMETIMES it will act normal-ish.
The odd thing is a lot of the time once I get home on my network these restarts and freezes are much less frequent vs. on the school's network. This could be a coincidence, but I thought I should bring it up.

This is my first smartphone I have ever owned, but I have owned two tablets so I am familiar with Android and also with modding Android (rooting, boot loaders, custom ROMs, etc). If modding is the answer here then by all means tell me what I need to do so I can get a phone that functions properly.
I saw that Motorola is testing 5.1 for this phone now, perhaps that may fix these problems? Right now I am tempted to throw this phone out the window and go back to my flip phone that I can at least txt message on.
Not even a single idea?

Some users have faced problems with the device freezing, or randomly rebooting occasionally.
Potential Solution –
If the screen is frozen, tapping on the power button to turn the screen off, and turning the screen on again might unfreeze it. If that doesn’t work, a long press on the power button will reboot the device.
The likely culprit for this issue is a specific application. You can follow the instructions in Problem #4 above to find out if this is the case.

In the last 6 months I started to have random problems with google search. It keeps hanging and I can only close it by gesture, swiping up. Going back after a search to search something else is not working. After, for example, searching for a keyword I swipe from side to go back, it does nothing. I can still pres on results and it works, but not to go back. And after 5-10 seconds I see the execution of the back command. It's very frustrating because it's happening quite often. I uninstalled the app, I cleared the cache, it still does it after a while.
