How do I stop my virtual keyboard from popping up when im docked? I try to type ANYTHING with my keyboard dock and half my screen is gone because the stupid virtual one comes out!
The only thing I could do on mine was reboot it.

Is this a common issues with the Sanding Epic. It seems that screen wobbles against the keyboard when pressed on.

Yes and sprint won't fix it either
Should have done my research when I bought this phone. :/ I still like it but the wobbly screen gets annoying.

If you are under the 30-day return policy period, you should be able to get it replaced due to that reason. It is a common issue.
anyone else have the quirk of the phone placing dollar signs or other symbols next to the preceeding letter or number when using sms?

Yes

Yes, it does that because it was designed for punctation, like putting in a comma from a menu that shows up after hitting space. Great for that, but sadly not designed quite so well. You just have to hit space, then backspace, then space again and put it in.

Irritating bug.

I'm sure it could be fixed in a (pseudo)ROM but it is a stock piece of (mal)function..

... did anyone stop to think maybe turning off Auto-Punctuate.... or "Show Suggestions".... might disable that?
The annoying bug I have seen is it seemingly randomly capitalizing words.
Has anyone else seen this...my bottom "back" button (menu-home-back-search) seems to be much less responsive than it used to be...all the others seem ok... Is there a way to calibrate their sensitivity?

I don't think there is a way to calibrate those. But some thing you might want to add to the OP is what rom you are on maybe there is a setting that I don't know about.
I'm on mostly stock now... Tried out Thunderhawk's latest and saw no difference.... (with that at least)...

might be a hardware problem then. if you went back to stock and same thing is happening.
Yeah...my that's my guess too...likely that my phone just has a little hardware issue...it still works, but I frequently have to hit the back button 2 or 3 times to get it to register...sigh.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
its a hardware issue. My search button isn't as sensitive as the others. Good thing I don't use that often.

I have three users configured and at times the tablet seems to lock up. But I can still pull down the notification drawer and setting drawer. I can touch the back, home, or multitask softkeys, or slide up for Google now.
But no matter where I navigate to, the N7 does not register touches in the "screen" area.
I have found that pulling down the setting drawer and tapping the user to "logout" and then logging back in immediately fixes the issue. Also toggling sleep/wake button and logging back in also fixes it.
Is this a known issue? Is this multiuser, software or hardware specific? Any solutions?
(I read back through a couple weeks of posts but didn't see this issue)
--- UPDATE------
Just happened again. But I left it alone for a minute, picked it back up and it was working fine. Perhaps this is app lag. The notification and navi bar work because they're systems but the screen stops taking input while it lags....(just a thought, I don't know how that stuff might work)
BTW I have a 32 GB N7, it is not rooted, and is fully up to date running 4.2.1

Im having the same issue with mine..just got it afew days ago and it just started about an hour ago. I think its a screen issue cause now it keeps coming up with the menu to change wallpapers without me touching it. And its been locking up alot. Might have to RMA it.

RMA it? Is yours rooted? Do you have multiple users?

Do you have an otg cable? Try connecting a mouse to it when it does this and see if it recognizes mouse actions.

This is not a question it is an issue with the device. This is appropriate for general.

Damn. Well maybe get a log cat next time it happens. Maybe there will be something there to show why it stopped working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'll have to learn how to get a logcat. But I was able to recreate the issue and get a video. I could only get it to affect settings and the play store but I've had this in the launcher before too. I don't think you can hear but tapping the screen was causing the touch sound.

No one has had this issue? I've only experienced it in Settings and PlayStore on me first and second user, nothing on my third user. Also noticed a litte lag on the homescreen too.
In the video you may be able to hear the touch feedback sound. The screen is recognizing taps but not doing anything. Sleep/Wake fixes the issue until you leave the app...
Guess I'll need to exchange my N7 and hope to get one without this issue.
Why did this get moved to Q&A??
Are Issues not discussed in General?
[SOLVED]
I was using APP LOCK on User #3 and that caused what seems like an overlay that prevented touch on users 1&2.
I sent this issue to the apps support. And will try to find a free app locker that is milti-user friendly.

Noticing that SwiftKey takes up a lot of battery believe or not. Just looked in my battery usage under settings and SwiftKey shows up. I think its a little silly for a keyboard to take up that much battery to actually show up. So what keyboard do you all use/prefer?!
Thinking about switching to Kii Keyboard, trying it out now and I rly like it!
EDIT: I wiped all user data from Swiftkey, then restored it using Helium and it hasn't appeared in my battery since then..

thats odd, I dont have that drastic a usage with it, Ive been on the Swiftkey band wagon since it was released, I dont think I could be without it at this point,

Same here, haven't ever seen swiftkey use like virtually any battery! I couldn't imagine not using swiftkey, it's become my favorite keyboard of all time over the years - I type so fast without even looking haha! Are you doing anything out of the ordinary with Swiftkey?

Google keyboard has always worked best. Never even heard of Kii. Never been compelled to try SwiftKey cause Google Keyboard just works.
Swype. Tried stock, AOSP, Swiftkey, Kii, and a bunch of others and have always come back to Swype. I guess I'm getting too old to change.
