Keyboard Randomly Closing? Please Help! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Keyboard not coming up for Facebook?

I just got my MT4G and I'm already running into an issue with Facebook going through the Webkit browser. I can reply to status updates no problem. However, if I go to make a NEW wall post, the keyboard never pops up. Is anybody else experiencing this? Is there a way to force the virtual keyboard open?

Hold down the menu button until it pops up. 2 to 4 seconds i think
Well that was quick and easy! Thanks! Now I'm left to wonder why this is happening on my handset (and seemingly only mine lol)

Swype keyboard dissapearing

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?

Keyboard problem

So, as the title says; I have a problem with my keyboard. My phone seems to think that the keyboard is always slid open even when I close the keyboard. Does anyone know the cause of this problem or a way to fix this?

probably its a keyboard/hinge sensor issue.
So, I tried flashing some other roms, because I read somewhere it might be related to the rom. At the time I was stock and on froyo, so I flashed CM7 and it seemed to think the keyboard wasn't there, so I flashed a couple of other roms. (Super CM7, Virtuous, MIUI, Gingervillan, and even CM6 and the latest nightly of CM7) For most of them it wouldn't recognize the keyboard entirely, so when you go through the startup steps it says, "Slide open keyboard" I slide open the keyboard and it doesn't recognize it. I can still type on the keyboard, but when selecting a text field, it opens up the landscape keyboard and I can't get the backlight on. That'w what happened on the gingerbread roms, so I tried CM6 and I go back to the original problem of it thinking the keyboard is always open; I then tried the latest nightly of CM7, and it gave me the same problem as CM6 and stock. So that left me totally confused. Is it what rom I'm using or is it a hardware issue. If it is a hardware issue, how can I fix it? Do I just replace the keyboard/hinge sensor?

Multi Window

I can't seem to be able to use the keyboard to type in the top app when I use multi-window. Pressing any key reverts me to the app on the bottom half of the screen. I'm using Swiftkey btw. Anyone know fixes? Thanks in advance.

I believe when you are using Stock Keyboard, you can detach it and move around when in Multiwindow mode. But i don't know about SwiftKey, play around in it's settings and see...

Wow bro i was exactly in this moment post this issue.
I have the problem to i cant type in the upper app whatever the app is, i also use siwftkey. Have you find any solution? this happened to me after upgrading to kitkat sm-n900.
I tried undocking swiftkey and it worked, but it can be the complete solution. There are some pics of different apps , another issue is that when i want to edit the multiwindow apps the option to go play store is not available.
I donĀ“t know were to look, if any of you know something please share
Thanks
Nope, sorry man. Currently i'm just sticking to swapping the top screen with the bottom whenever I need to type. Tedious though
I have this issue too. I noticed that the stock keyboard doesn't have this problem.
As a temporary solution I used tasker with the note buddy plugin to automatically switch the SwiftKey keyboard to stock.
I know it's just not the best solution since you always have to pull out the s pen, but it's something.
For those who don't have tasker, there's the SpenBoardswitcher.

Has there been and solutions or updates to this? Driving me nuts. I noticed that after I updated my note 3 to 4.4.2 on att this issue presented itself
Swiftkey doesn't support Multiwindow. It has never officially done so.
Ugh. Quite frustrating but it is what it is. Thanks for the response.

Good day.
Anybody have an issue with keyboard not showing in any app, but sure its there because if you tap on the blank screen letters will be typed it is just invisible.

Tried that but it came back.
any luck? Which app you are using? Have you tried any other app?
I've got the exact same problem. When I'm typing in any app sometimes the keyboard (GBoard) goes black, I can still type but can't see anything from the keyboard. It doesn't happen too often, maybe one a day but it's anoying.
To solve it you have to go to keyboard setting and when you tap virtual keyboard -> GBoard a message saying that the app has stopped working appears and asks you to open it again. Once you do it works normal again but eventually it will happen again.
Someone has this same issue or has managed to solve?
Thanks.
I use swiftkey, and it works fine.. :angel:
I want to use GBoard but I've got no idea why this happens.
