Freezing in Landscape?

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.

Landscape keyboard

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?

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?

Swype Problem

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.

First keyboard entry repeats

Hey,
I get this issue at times where when I select a text input box on the droid pro and start using my physical keyboard, the first letter I press gets doubled e.g. "ddoubled" This happens fairly often so I was wondering if anyone of you are experiencing the same thing.

I've been having that problem as well...seems like it's just been a recent occurrence because I don't remember it happening this much previously...

happening to me as well_

Same here. Didn't notice it when I first got the phone. Seems like a recent issue. I haven't had the issue for a day or two. Odd

Although I've experienced other issues this one is new to me and I've yet to had the pleasure of encounter it. Hope it stays that way!
Did any of you try a factory reset or an SBF reload?

Same here. Very annoying. It also sometimes misses the first letter on mine. Especially when using the instant search from a home screen.

i would do a factory reset, and make sure you have the current OTA software

[Q] Unresponsive Screen

Hello everyone, I am currently having a problem with my Note 3 from T-Mobile USA (White, 32GB) when the screen all of the sudden becomes unresponsive to finger touches and instead it picks up and selects/taps random objects on my homescreen, browser or whatever window/app I am using, but as soon as I take out the S-Pen it registers it flawlessly. That also happens when the S-Pen is already removed, same scenario, no finger touch response yet it works with the S-Pen. When it happens usually, I am not able scroll, select anything, and the capacitive buttons don't work either unless I lock the device and unlock it. Anyone else is having this problem? I did some research and apparently a lot of Galaxy devices does that.

send it back to the service centre....the s pen is being detected even when it is plug in. the screen is designed to not respond to touch when it detects the tip of the s pen.

Yup. I have the same problem. Used to happen about once a day. Called T-Mobile, talked to tech support (very nice) and they said it likely an incompatibility issue with an app I have. They said even though this is an android device, a lot of times apps have issues working on new devices. I uninstalled the app I had been using when I started noticing the issue (CSR Racing) and I haven't had the problem in days. Then I installed PBA Bowling and got the same glitch last night. Gunna uninstall that game and see if it fixes the problem, if not I'll call back.
I didn't test anything with the S-Pen though.

I noticed that sometimes happens when the WatchOn app crashes. I disabled it and I'll see how it goes.

I'm having the same issue like you too. Exactly the same scenario like what you mentioned.
And I even factory reset twice with stock apps and still have the same problem!
I can't even send a proper SMS when they keyboard type by itself.

Yes! Sometimes it takes an hour to happen, sometimes it happens three times within five minutes. Disabling WatchOn didn't work, and I don't think SwiftKey is the problem since it happens even during browsing on Chrome :/

I posted the same thing a week ago and seems like there are people encountering the same issues.

This sucks.

Decided to order a replacement. That's ridiculous. I hope they don't send me a beaten up one.

After figuring it out for a while, it seems like it hanged when we "touch" using our finger.
But when I use the S-pen it works. Don't understand why

I found a solution for myself, i had the same problem and realize that putting phone into rice overnight for 7-8h solve problem, you should try.. I've been facing this problem for about 3 months and i tried every solution from every site.
