Hi guys
Anyone use this app? Its really good to hide the soft keys and give more screen display..however the problem is when Im using the keyboard. The app does mention that you may have a keyboard problem after you install it. Its not really a problem rather annoying..
Anyone know of a similar app that doesnt interfere with the keyboard? Thanks

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 have been having problems trying to use some of the built in google apps... sometimes when I try to open one it opens an entirely different app and the only way I know of to correct that is by rebooting.
Have any of you had this issue? Is it an android bug or a g2 bug? How have you been able to correct it?
Thanks for any help you can give.

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.

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?

sorry about that yes the xda link above it is the program that I mean.
also when you search on the market for touchpal it is the 1 with the blue icon and the chinese characters not sure why the chinese characters are there because it is in english don't be afraid.

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.
Touchpal (chinese origin) privileges:
-full internet access
-record audio
-read contacts
Umm. I think I'll pass. I don't need the chinese keyboard reading my contacts, record audio, and send it back to the chinese developers...

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
The stock keyboard supplied by Swype is a laggy piece of rubbish.
As annoying as it is I really like the theme and layout apart from the Swype key which you can't disable.
What keyboard is everyone else using?
I deleted Huawei Swype with root explorer (root) and installed SwiftKey...
Huawei Swype needs about 200MB in system-folder
... send from hell... hahahaaaa...

I don't watch movies but I do use two separate banks applications since long time and the first thing I do when I get a new phone, is to root it before anything else.
I didn't face any problems with Bank applications when I am root.

Google lollipop is excellent

No need to root for that. Just go in settings keyboard and choose android AOSP. If it is not yet the lollipop one, it will update through the play store. It is rally a good keyboard
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-L09 using XDA Free mobile app
Now sing google keyboard with lollipop skin. Nice keyboard. Better than Swiftkey tbh
My mobile have non of the English input methods I have to use system language and it must be set to English so that I can use it any help ¿?????????????? This is so annoying now i cant use two language merged
I use huawei swype and all is perfect .. no lag at all..
two languages simultaneously I can use
Google keyboard > *
With new material design, I can't imagine using another keyboard - and I've tried many, except for maybe Minuum. Minuum is great if you have a smaller screen or don't want the keyboard to use too much screen real estate.

Swiftkey...
I recommend Swiftkey :
- quality of the predictions
- over 60 languages available
- 3 languages managed simultaneously (without need to select manually)
- fast typing
- flow typing
- keep your typing habits on the cloud (useful when change smartphone)

Hi,
I have been experiencing slow notifications on my S8 ever since I bought it, specifically with apps like Twitter and Skype. After research, I tested turning off the app power monitor, but that did not help. Then, I tried disabling the google app and the problem was fixed. However, I do use the google app on a regular basis so I would like to find a different way to fix the problem. I have also tried a phone reset with no results.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Go really if that works by stopping the google application.
I have it like that, but there are many other things that I lose when I deactivate that function, for example the dictation to google voice, a function that is widely used by me.
I read that Nougat did not pass.
Amazing that there is no solution to this. There is no other solution?
