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
If this has been posted before please delete, but I believe I have solved my issue with the physical keyboard missing keys. I turned off all the software keyboards and swype it seems to have done the trick.
Problem is I have to change it everytime I switch batteries. Is there a way to do thi?

Yes, I've read that swype (enabled) is most likely the culprit.

Bingo, it can be annoying at times. When typing long emails and texts, be sure to go back and proofread what you just typed (good practice anyway). Turning off swype did seem to help a bit.

And not all of us want to sound like mysteryemotionz.
would make it a software issue then..not hardware =D good to know
I was able to type several paragraphs with all the soft keyboards except for Swype disabled, and I don't have the missing key issue anymore. I simply disabled the Samsung and Android keyboards. I use Swype way too much to disable it.

I use keyboard manager to help with this...
Install keyboard manager along with touchpal from market free (completely).
I have Swype enable and have it set as my portrait keyboard
Then when I switch to landscape keyboard manager services changes my kb to touchpal in a fraction of a second without any interaction.
What awesome about touch pal is that it offers some of the best spelling correction word prediction with our hardware keyboards. Takes a while to get used to but by far is the best solution for me as not only does it fix the random keydrops but it also spell checks and suggests words on the fly.
I was using the Windows Mobile Version for a long time before changing to android, but absolutely love Swype for portrait one handed.
In a previous post I made I pointed out that the lag I found to be software and not hardware... if you long press on many letters you will get a popup instead of repeat keys these seem to be the cause of the drops, after using touchpal, if you long press a letter it quickly repeats.

Cool tip! Definitely want to try this... but searching in the Market, I couldn't find Keyboard Manager .. and not sure the Touchpal that comes up is what you're referring to. Is it still available?

Wow.
I unchecked the samsung and android keypad and tested it out. Updated twitter and FB without a hitch, no dropped characters! Very cool, and thanks for the tip. That's been driving me (and my wife) crazy!

It seems everytime I remove the battery and reinstall it that swype and the other keyboards are re-enabled. Is there anyway to keep them turned off?

I believe they need to be removed using sdx stock app removal.

Internet access to check for updates, record audio is for voice to text and contacts im not sure about but i think its for autocomplete to add to the dictionary. Check out Swype permissions same read contact data is there...
Trust me I have been using CooTek products for years they are a reputable company... Chinese or not.
PS you could try with another keyboard but I think the key is touchpal, all i can say is if the keyboard your using gets rid of the OS default popup that happens when you long press on a key it should work. I wish there was a dev that could just figure out how to disable this all together as it happens when there are no soft keyboards active,,, I am sure this is the cause to our missed keys try ee or oo in words 7/10 times it will miss if you are fast this is because its trying to determine the length of time the key was pressed to display the box of options.
I can't get keyboard manager to recognize touchpal as an option...any ideas?
NM, have to play with the actual system settings first
I installed the Swype keyboard and it was working fine for a few days, but now it will not "swype". It responds to pressing individual keys but dragging my finger across the keyboard no longer has any effect.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Which version of Swype did you install? The open beta?

this happens, if you have it to apps2sd it can cause this and other issues, as well could be due to language package if install, as said try to unselect swype and re-select it, as well if you get the apk swype restore you can restore your original swype from your nandroid

This is a known problem with Swype, and happens every time you reboot the phone. Try un-checking Swype in Settings>Language and keyboard, then re-checking it. You will also need to re-select Swype as the input method by long press in (almost) any text input field, until the Input Method option comes up.

Might be only on the latest version of Swype, I don't remember it happening on older Swype builds (but not certain). On the latest Swype open beta version, it does this on several ROMs for me (stock, Virtuous, CM7), and another on XDA mentioned its a 'known issue'.
it is a known issue, it actually depends what swype you get when getting it from the installer there is 2 options full and eng/spanish, i had issues when i got full on my g2 and mytouch slide, when i did eng/spanish all was ok except it Fc one or twice fix permission fixed and working since then

I've had this problem several times. Try pressing any text field until the "input method" message pops up. Select "touch input", and the repeat the procedure now selecting "Swype". It always works for me.
I'm using rooted stock sense with visionary/gfree and Launcher Pro Plus.
Hope it helps.
just being funny..
But from what I understand.. Swiper no swiping?

Hey all - running stock, rooted on the latest MJ7 update and it seems since this update the stock Sammy keyboard refuses to remember any custom words I input. For example: go to my banking app and enter my user ID in the required field ... I opt to remember the my user ID but once I back out of the app the word is forgotten. If I stay in the app the word will be remembered, but once I exit the apps the words are gone. It's like this for every app! I've tried everything to get it to remember words but nothing works! It was working fine before the MJ7 update ... I've cleared app data and cache, Uninstalled Xposed and nothing seems to get it working ... switched to Swype and it works fine there so it seems to be isolated to the Sammy KB.
Anyone else seeing this with the stock keyboard?

Thanks for the suggestion, tried that as well but the words are still not remembered. It's very weird. Tried everything but a factory reset and I'd rather not go that route as this is the only issue I'm having. It's all good, I forgot how much I love SwiftKey and how awesome the predictions are

Got the same problem here on my not rooted EU version (not branded). It's the only thing that I find really annoying on this phone, but I don't want to use another keyboard because of handwriting recognition and the number row. Can't believe that we're the only ones here who recognise this bug...?
Additionally I even don't have this personal dictionaries point in Settings. Sometimes e.g. after a bracket the double-tap for a full stop isn't working.
I'm on the Verizon variant and recently received an update that resolved my issues (as well as changed the keyboard theme to dark). Hopefully future updates will resolve it for others as well

Duh, who would have thought the solution would be so simple. Similar to the suggestion below, I just went to Samsung keyboard settings and used the "reset settings" option (its the last option). Didnt have to restart phone. Then tested various words, and amazingly seems to work fine.
I'm on 4.3 on Note 2.

You actually can add new words. all you have to do is go to SETTING / CONTROLS / LANGUAGE AND INPUT/ hit the gear next to SAMSUNG KEYBOARD/ tap on the words PREDICTIVE TEXT and then tap LEARN FROM MESSAGES. Once this is done, start a text message and then hit the white arrow that comes up. Your phone has now learned the word that you wanted it too.
well till now i have tried nearly everything and with no luck at all.. i just want to know what the hell happened?
what is the cause??? samsung isn't replying to my message
