Hey I've got an unlocked R800a Xperia Play on 4.0.A.2.368 with SwiftKey X keyboard and I suddenly got this weird problem. Whenever I slide open the phone for the gamepad, SwiftKey X will bring up 3 words at the bottom of the screen and the only way to get rid of it is by sliding the phone back to normal. It's extremely annoying for gaming and I was wondering if anyone else encountered this or had any suggestions. Here's a screenshot of it. Because I haven't posted before, I can't use links so just put a period before com.

Nevermind. Fixed it by reverting to and older version of SwiftKey X.

Hi,
has anyone tried SwiftKey on a phone? It is imho the best on screen keyboard and therefore I bought the app. It works fine on nook.
Nevertheless there is a new beta out (not the tablet version), which is even more sophisticated. And this beta don't runs on the nook. As soon as the keyboard shows up, it only shows a small window in the middle of the screen showing only parts of the keyboard.
I told this in the forum, but no one responded. Maybe this community can help!!??
try the brand new version of thumb keyboard.. its nuance theme is beautiful!!!
Works on my nook, just select another input method when it gives you the small window and then reselect SwiftKey. It should reload fine then

Are we both talking about swiftkey X Beta?
1. I tried to select swiftkey x Beta and get this little part of the keyboard in the middle of the screen.
You mean, i have to:
2. switch again to another keyboard (e.g. Android stock)
3. switch back to swiftkey x Beta
Then i get again this little part of the keyboard in the middle of the screen :-(

Yeah, don't use the Swiftkey Beta X. I haven't prodded them on this but something is clearly broken or... tinfoilhat.... intentionally limited so people buy the tablet version....
I'd like to just think it's a bug. I'll get on the VIP site later and look around, post if I don't see anything.
try unchecking compatibility mode in spare parts

Heh, post back when you realize it doesn't..
Ever since the 2.3.3 update (4.24.651.1) I have this issue when I go to use the keyboard it does not appear, just white space where the keyboard should be. The keyboard is still there just not visible because I can type but I can't see the keys I'm typing.
I'm able to resolve it by changing the input method back to regular keyboard then right back to swype again, but it continues to happen. It seems totally random and occurs in different apps. Has anyone else experienced this?

Depends on what version of swype you're running. I had the same issue when i first updated. You'll need to go get a newer copy from the swype beta website.
I never installed swype. It's included in the stock sprint ROM. Should / can I update it still?
I had the desire for over a year now and it has gone back to get repaired twice. Hardware issues.
I use SwiftKey x and am happy with it. As last week, when I use the dedicated qwerty keyboard in a text message, and I hit the s button it saves the message and the g button it goes directly to gmail.
I think it is just a setting issue but can't seem to be able to turn it these short-cuts off.

Had the same issue, its a Swiftkey issue, i switched to Better Keyboard and problems were gone, or restore with a rom =)

A reboot always seems to fix this issue for me
im using the stock samsung keyboard on my att s4 for texting inside google hangouts. i got the autocorrect feture a while back where it gives the sweeping replacement arrow on the left of the suggestions box then the two other suggested words on the center and right boxes, one day the arrow disappeared and the whole system acted more like the apple set up and i had three suggestions words and no arrow and the spacebar would auto replace with a spelling correction. now out of nowhere it has switched back to the sweeping arrow again. what am i missing here? i liked the three word setup much more. is this a setting im missing somehow of what??? or some sort of updated happening behind the scenes??
AT&T Galaxy i337 S4 MK2 rooted.
Did not like the original samsung s4 keyboard but that is my own thought as I was so used to using the Google Keyboard on Nexus 4
I currently use the SwiftKey beta keyboard app for my S4 and it working great
Before that I had the Google Keyboard which you can download from Playstore and give it a try
hey thanks for the reply, and sorry im so late getting back. thanks for the tip on the different keyboards. ive tried the google keyboard which i really like the simplicity of but i really like the dedicated number row on the stock s4 board. ive also tried the swift beta and its so close to perfect but ive really gotten used to the long press punctuation on the s4 also. i also dont care for the way i have to swype for the question mark on the swift beta keyboard.
my original question is a wierd one though and i dont think i asked it well. i think my issue is more with the auto correct feature than they keyboard. there is an arrow that shows up to dismiss the autocorrected word. that disappeared for a while and then it came back. i kinda liked the three word replacement better than the two words and the arrow. i was just curious why it switched and then switched back. and if i could choose it somehow.
My Tmobile G2 has this thing where I'll be typing and it will randomly close the keyboard and whatever app or webpage I'm on and take me back to the home screen. There's no error message, but it will happen several times in a row.
Has anyone else had this issue? does anyone know how to fix it?
Unrooted, no roms as of yet, completely stock.
Any help would be great.
I have the same problem on my SIM Free LG g2 D802. The keyboard closes randomly.I use Fleksy keyboard instead of stock keyboard.I hope there is a solution.

Found the solution !
Go to LG keyboard setup, and there is an option like "Hide keyboard when swipe down" untick the option. That solved the solution for me
