My girlfriend has a Vibrant and today her swype has stopped working.
When you press an input field it sometimes pops up with the keyboard momentarily but quickly goes away OR the keyboard does not come up at all.
Tried to restart. Try to reinstall. Nothing works. Tried multiple applications with the same result.
She did receive the OTA if that makes a difference.
Anyone else encountering this problem? Any ideas to fix it?
Have you swapped to another input method?
Try changing to Samsung kb, rebooting, then changing back to Swype.
Have you done anything to the phone? Root, lagfix, etc.?

I'm having a problem too, but not like this. My Swype is severely screwed up. Its laggy as hell and the trace line appears all jagged and not in a straight line. The words that it suggest are plain retarded. I Swyped Charger and it suggested Xylophone. This all happened after the update. Sometimes in the middle of me Swyping, the Swype Tips box pops up out of no where. I am Rooted and have done the lag fix. Maybe I will reverse both and see what happens.

Yeah, playing with the vibrant hooked up to a USB is crazy bad. Not sure what causes this issue/
I agree. Swype is buggy after the update. I hope it's fixed soon. Mine happens mostly when I am in landscape mode, however, in portrait mode a lot of the words are still wrong where before they werent
Im having a similar problem with my swype also.

I was in the AT&T store earlier today hoping I could do a side by side comparison of the Captivate and the Aria but, of course, AT&T didnt have out the Captivate yet so I just spent time with the Aria.
I loved it. Very smooth and quick with everything. Comfortable keyboard for the size that it is.
One thing I noticed before I was done experimenting with the keyboard and texting is that when I was typing a message landscape, the words weren't showing up, but appeared when I turned to portrait...and then disappeared again when turned landscape.
It only happened at the end of the 15 or 20 mins I was playing with it...but is this a problem others are having with the phone or was the in-store phone just being defective?
That is a problem that i also use to experience, if i text in landscape mode at a fast pace it caused the app to force close. When it auto restarted i couldn't see the text i was typing in landscape mode but when switched to portrait mode the text would appear. I have since stopped texting in landscape mode since texting in portrait mode is just as fast as long as you hit the first letter of the word correctly.
I have not had the issue since flashing the liberated B003 rom though. Also I do not know if it was something running in the background causing this to crash before i flashed but for me the problem no longer exist.
But thats just one of the few problems you will discover with this phone

Thanks! Hopefully going to pick up a Captivate as long as it performs like I hope. Otherwise I will be joining all of you here in the Aria forums!
Kind of a dead thread but I'm bringing it back to ask...
How many of you have also experienced this problem with the phone? Is it a large majority?

Thank you. Hope some more people respond so that I can see how many people experience this problem so I can try to decide between this and the captivate
I spoke too soon, the issue is happening again, seems to happen after typing long texts.
I get the error "the application Touch Input (process com.htc.android.htcime) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." [Force close]
do you use the stock keyboard as opposed to swype, swiftkey, or the droidx?
stock keyboard.
That might be the silence then. You might want to see if the problem persists with a different keyboard. For landscape I suggest the droidx multitouch.

I too have the same issue - many times. Stock ROM, non rooted.
I'm going to mosey on over here for the Nexus forum to vouch this issue for my sister. She just got the Aria about 2 weeks ago and her keyboard freezes on her in landscape mode constantly. If she goes into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ and selects the keyboard then chooses 'Clear Data' it seems to bring it back up without her having to restart her phone. Another option I've found while scouring the internet has been that if you disable predictive text on the keyboard (Under Settings/Language and Keyboard/Touch Input/Text Input/Prediction) it seems to fix the issue... but you of course lose predictive text. Which, if you ask me, is a huge issue given the cramped keyboard on the Aria. I can't confirm if removing the predictive text option works yet or not, but if she lets me know, I'll be sure to let you folks know.
[edit]I should probably state that shes on Stock AT&T Rom with non-root and she plans to stay that way... unless I convince her to hand the phone to me for a few hours)[/edit]
I should also probably state that this issue does not occur using the swiftkey keyboard from the market. One could argue just using that instead, but I personally don't like swiftkey and frankly the default keyboard should work! Lol.
So far turning off predictive text has fixed it. My sister has gone all day without a freeze up. And it was occurring almost every time she texted.
Day 3 and her keyboard still hasn't froze since she turned off predictive text. I think the may be a solution. But now HTC needs to release a fix for this lol. Hopefully the aria gets a 2.2 update and this is resolved. Wishful thinking I guess.
Is there a way to reload the keyboard after it force closes in landscape mode? Other than restarting the phone?
Is anyone else having this issue a lot?

Does this sound like your problem?

Just want to bring this up and see if anyone else ran into the problem.
I am using B003 and when I am in landscape typing, I get an error sometimes saying the keyboard had a problem. I can still type, but the text won't show up. But if I switch to portrait, then I can see the text I typed while in landscape and I can also type normally while in portrait (meaning I can see the text I type). But if I go back to landscape, again, I can type, but it won't show up in landscape and it will in portrait. This happened to me 4 times today. I think it fixed itself or I had to turn phone off and back on.

I was also interested in seeking if others were experiencing this problem. It happened to me a lot two days ago, didn't happen at all yesterday, and then happened once today. I have to turn off the phone for it to fix itself.
Are you on stock rom?

Yeah, I am on stock rom at the moment. It did it quite a few times on me last night, and it was a pain in the A!
I read a lot of posts where people are mentioning this issue. Personally I have not experienced any force closes on landscape or portrait mode while typing, however I do notice the keyboard can get very laggy at times when in landscape mode.

there are instances where it will force close, and you can see the auto correct type come up, and until you put a , or a . in the sentence and hit space, it will show up the text as well...
pain in the a!!!
It happened to me again and I think I might have isolated the problem. This keeps happeing to me when I type a long message in landscape. Usually when I think the 170 mark, it will crash on me.
Its not that isolated, seems to happen more ofter when you type long messages.

Here is another item I noticed today because I texted a lot today during work and it crashed on me multiple times. I do the Clear Data rather than reset the phone and each time, I noticed that the data is at 68 kb. Could this have something to do with it? Anyway to test and see if the 68 kb has anything to do with the crash?
I just noticed that when I type in sms, that soeties the keyboard just switches to one handed mode while typing... anyone else experiencing the same? I'm using tmo us galaxy but figured if this is a bug, it would affect all models of note 2.....
anyone experiencing this as well?
I was also experiencing the issue and had become very annoyed by it. It would sporadically happened but would never happen if I tried to recreate the issue.
The problem went away when I changed to the SwiftKey keyboard.

I have the same problem -- seems to be happening more and more often (and I don't want to use Swiftkey). No idea what causes it, must be some combination of keystrokes, but it is VERY annoying.
Would love someone to solve this one.
The keyboard switches to one hanged vote if you pinch it, it's possible that it's registering some of your keystrokes as a pinch

I've been fighting this on and off since the MF9 update. Originally I thought I just had bad reception where I was at the time but now, even with wifi and 4g network I still get this.
Basically I'll be typing...could be Galaxy keyboard OR SWYPE and suddenly the keyboard will stop responding. Even if I hit the "home" button to get out the app (usually I notice this in web browser but it doesn't appear to be app-related) the keyboard overlay will persist and can't be killed. I can make it go away by pulling down the notification bar where the "select input method" icon is still displaying and select whichever input method wasn't in use when it hung, but I still won't be able to type anything until the keyboard catches up....sometimes that takes several minutes, sometimes I have to reboot the phone. I noticed that some words or phrases are more likely to cause this lockup than others. Ironically, "galaxy s4" will do it almost every time.
The only way I've found to prevent this from happening is to turn off all predictive features on the keyboard including predictive text and swiftkey. I've tried updating my language and pretty much everything else but nothing works permanently. I can get it to work temporarily by clearing data on the keyboard service too, but it always comes back when it's least convenient (like when I'm trying to enter an address into GPS and in a hurry). This started after the MF9 update. At one point I even did an ODIN wipe and reinstalled from a stock image....still does it.
anyone else getting this?
Yeah, I've been noticing this happening to me lately too. I use the Swype keyboard though. It's quite frustrating.
I've gotten used to the Google keyboard and haven't switched to something else since. Yes, it's not perfect, but it suits my needs.
Is anyone else having issues with the touch screen triggering at different places when touched, or randomly knocking off the phone when you're not even touching the phone? I turned off my knockon feature, but I would see my notification bar be highlighted without me touching it. Just wondering if i'm the only one with this problem.
No issues at all.

this glitch is kinda what happened with mine, and i confirmed what it was doing
in swiftkey, you know how tehre's the option to change the long press delay? well i was holding down that little bar to drag it down, and i noticed while holding it inplace, the numbers were going crazy..it was going up/donw/up/down incredibly fast, instead of just staying stationary..i was like, wtf? so i went to dev options, turned on show touch points and the trace so i could see the axis, and i noticed it was freaking out. holding my finger in place, it was as if it was moving around like crazy.
so i did a factory reset and flashed the clean verizon rom scott posted, and it hasn't done it since. no idea wtf was going on. i realized it was messing up bc my typing became really bad, and it would enter things i didn't type.
Touch Screen has a mind of its own - bad digitizer??
I woke up today to find my screen on, showing the lock screen which I found odd. Now most of the time the screen has a mind of its own where basically its like an invisible finger is randomly touching the screen at a frantic place. This opens up apps, moves icons around, calls people if the phone app manages to get opened, etc. After struggling to override the "invisible finger" I've done a reboot from the power menu, powered off from the power menu and left it off for 10 minutes before turning off and held down the power and volume down button to reboot. None of these methods fixed the problem0
Please note I did accept the Verizon update but was good on it for a day prior to this issue. I have installed minimal 3rd party apps and can't attribute the problem to starting right after installing something. I do use the Ghost 100 wireless charger but have been using this from day 1 without issues so I don't think that'a problem either. The Verizon store sold me this charger and although its not listed as being compatible on Verizon's website I have a feeling that's cause the phone is so new. The charger is WPC certified. Being that this problem is intermittent (happens way more often than not) I think it may be a software issue and I'm about to do a hard factory reset. If that doesn't work then I'm convinced its a hardware issue and probably a bad digitizer. I've been very gentle with the phone - haven't dropped it, no moisture or water exposure, not rooted, etc. I'll report back if the factory reset works. Anyone else having the same or a similar issue?

You're not alone! My G2 has been driving me crazy the last couple of days when trying to use the lockscreen. It'll spaz out and either skip a connection of display a whole different pattern than I drew. It will also shut off the screen and reset the "wrong password" counter. I love this phone but this is super aggravating!
Hard reset didn't help at all. I went to a Verizon store and they exchanged for a new one and determined I had a hardware failure.
