Hello people I have a problem with softkeyboard which only occurs in cm7 roms only. I have seen some other people reporting the same issue but the answers were not satisfactory. The problem is that while typing sometimes certain letters become unresponsive eg most of the times letter "A". Anybody found a fix around this? Also tried with stock and smartkeyboard pro but still the same..any suggestions? ??

really not sure. Happened to me on Swiftkey X here and there both on CM7 and MIUI, but never on the stock one. Assumed it was a Swiftkey problem.
Usually closing and opening the keyboard worked. Or closing the app using the keyboard. Really not sure why its happening though. Mildly annoying.

I was writing replies back this morning from the xda app and after I would send one it would freeze, force close, then disable my on screen keyboard. It was a global matter as well because everything i went into that had a text field would not let me use the keyboard. The only way to correct it immediately was to turn the screen to landscape and then back again.
Just curious if anyone else has had this happen.
I have had the same issue. No idea how to resolve.
I wonder if it's swype specific. We should test with some other keyboards.

It isn't because i'm using the stock Android keyboard and this happened. I am going to switch to swype and see if I can replicate the issue.
I had this problem a week or so ago. I found a thread on here about the issue. Uninstall and reinstall tapatalk/xda-app.

I've tried numerous reinstall/uninstall attempts, no effect for me
I reboot my phone multiple times a day to swap batteries....
Every time I reboot the phone, I have to change inputs to get swype working again. I've tried unistalling swype and the installer, downloaded it again from my swype beta account and same things happens.
I'm running damage control also, anyone else have this problem or a fix?
I didn't even know you could get swype on the Evo. lol Time to use that search button......
Same issue here lately.not sure what change caused it. Seems to be related to android 2.2 Vs 2.1

Thank you, sir. I'm at work and my searches kept getting interrupted. I am now looking for reasons to text so I can Swype, and I've only had it for 20 minutes....lol. I like it............I like it A LOT.
I have been rebooting a lot lately and have swype selected as keyboard. I'm running cm6 and never had to do input to put back on...

i had this issue in 2.1 as well. though not nearly as often. its kind of a pain if you reboot a lot etc like i do flashing roms kernels themes etc etc etc) i have just learned to put it into my process now lol. factory reset wipe flash boot fix swype
switch to your other keyboard then switch back to swype, does the trick for my everytime
Not sure if anyone has said this but I know that with dc 3.5, there is an issue with swype after reboot. You can fix it by switching keyboard back to stock and then back to swype.

yea i think most of us know that but the problem is if you reboot a lot it gets pretty annoying to keep haing to do this
well ig uess for those that didnt know a "work around" this helps.
I had DL09 and had this problem and it bothered me, so I switched down to DJ05 cause it had the same fixes and more compatiable with everything, and now I'm having the same problem. It just started happening like 2 days ago. Is there a fix for this?
Mine does it too. It didn't do it until I installed the original SMS app so the little puzzle piece would work.
I've been noticing the same thing but it only happens in the browser searching.

Mine does it in the messaging, market, and browser app
I have this problem too. I've also had many problems with my dictionary. I'll add words and they will be there for a bit then disappear. The most frustrating thing I deal with is words that I have accidentally typed in, delete, and than they will magically appear again a day or so later. The specific word that bothers me is "ti"
I have deleted the word numerous times, cleared data/cache numerous times and installed clean roms/kernels to no avail. I even tried a totally new keyboard and it seemed like there was a problem with that dictionary too. I'm at a loss and gave up.

Try going to manage Applications and then clearing the data fit Swype.

I have the same problem. The data wipe did not resolve the issue, but clearing the data for gmail seems to have fixed the sync issues that I was having so thanks for the tip. The only fix that I have seen work for the caps issue is to install a different keyboard. I like camalot's as they seem more responsive than stock.
Also, big thanks to all the devs and good people on this forum who have made this phone awesome. This is my first smartphone and I would have been lost without the kind folks here.
I flashed superclean, 1230 nonvoodoo, and put the latest swype beta in...works great!

Same issue: all caps starting a message in aosp messaging app.. It seems like a bug that is being reported in the swype beta forums..
Be nice to have it fixed.. Oh! - yeah.... beta
I have the same problem, on DL09 using Handcent, so it's not app-specific.
yeah I have this issue too and I'm using the latest beta. It is not app specific. Seems to occur randomly.

What Ive noticed is ths happens when the word picker pops up for the first word and I continue to swype without making a choice. Maybe that is the cause? Program would see the new word as the first when started, as the first isn't completely entered yet.

This is exactly the reason, or at least a way to reproduce 100% of the time. OEM DI01 did not have the problem, OEM DL09 does. Dont' know more than that.
I posted a bug on the Swype forum 2 weeks ago.

My question really is in general has anyone had any issues with the iconia and bluetooth? Specifically the Motorola keyboard that is "made for" motorola devices? Also, does anyone else have an immense amount of lag when typing in a browser (Android browser, SkyFire, Dolphin I experience it in them all)? It's pretty annoying but I'm not sure it's normal.

The lag when typing in the browser depends on the keyboard you use....
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
It doesn't seem to matter which keyboard I use at all. Typing that I was using the Motorola keyboard but I have also used the thumb keyboard and experience lag. I get a little when I use it on my phone but it is significantly worse on the tablet.
I can confirm thumb keyboard lags......do you experiance it with the default keyboard or t9 as well??

Where are you typing in the browser??...in the google search bar??.....it shouldnt lag on google.com
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
It doesn't lag on google.com so much as just whenever you're using a keyboard that isn't the Android stock keyboard (which obviously isn't the best or I wouldn't be using a different one) But only in the browser. It seems almost like a bad emulator...that's what it acts like anyway.

It doesn't matter where I type in the browser... address bar, in the forums, (for example, replying to this). When I'm typing in, say, docs to go or calendar, it types smoothly, but anytime I type in the browser, there is considerable lag (somitimes 5+ seconds)
That's strange. I can't say I have had lag anywhere on any keyboard I have ever used on this tablet. I have the android keyboard, hackers keyboard, QQ (which is a chinese one), Swype, and the WiiControllerIME. I've also tried others and deleted them all, but I have never had lag.
im using the acer bluetooth keyboard with my iconia and i dont have any lag. i dont get any lag when using stock softkeyboard or hackers keyboard.
I get lag only when typing in boxes such as that of quick reply on xda.....or that of captcha words.....

Sorry for posting here but it is only place I can as it's my first post.
So I've turned to XDA as I thought I would bring my TF101 into teh world of JellyBean.
Following the excellent guides on here I easily rooted and flashed the thing with Team EOS Jellybean ROM.
Went like a dream and a big thank you to the people who have invested so much time and effort.
I have a strange issue though:
Type in the address bar of the browser or in a Tapatalk post the keyboard pops up
Type one letter and it minimises.
I touch to type again and it appears
I can only type a few letters (sometimes only one) before it minimises again
this continues ..
The keyboard is basically unusable. Anyone had a similar issue?
Sounds like you are using the TeamEOS 4 ROM.
From TimDuru's page is notes:
- Default AOSP Soft keyboard crashing if using auto-suggestion
=> workaround: Go to the keyboard settings and change to Auto-correction off + Show correction suggestions:always hide.
You can also fallback to gapps 20121229 (no swipe feature with that version though)
See here for more issues and workarounds: http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/eos4/

Have this problem too for certain apps running EOS4 but mostly when using tapatalk its weird. Switched auto correct off and turned off suggestions but still happens sometimes Besides that Lil bug EOS is very smooth.

I use Thumb Keyboard on my 10" tablets, and Swift Key on my Nexus 7 and phone. I hate the stock keyboard anyway.

Cheers everyone, turning off the settings above seemed to have done trick. I'll look at other keyboards and have a read through the issues etc.

I have same kind of problem but with Opera mobile browser. Text input in address bar works fine but input for any other input boxes in websites is pain in the ass. I manage to write one or two letter for example in login screen when keyboard vanished. That is strange since Opera uses its own keyboard layout.

OK I got this sorted out. Fistly Opera uses Android keyboard. I installed from google play Jelly bean keyboard (VLLWP) and it works fine.
