My phone is unrooted, unlocked and on Vodafone
Just installed OTA gingerbread and now I can't use the keyboard for messages/emails, when I tap into an input text box, nothing happens. Long press brings up a little bar (used to have icons for selecting text etc but now its empty)
Android version 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1, baseband 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2, kernel 2.6.35.10-g0956377, build 2.36.405.8 CL47853, software 2.36.405.8
Any body else had this? Any ideas?
OK now - uninstalled swype and adw launcher and after 4th reboot keyboard came back
both reinstalled and keyboard is still OK
In fact I had the same problem, and you don't need to uninstall swype in the end, just click 'Generate Lisense' and follow the steps there.
I couldn't get my stock keyboard to work when I got to the step where I had to type in my username and password, then I realised the installer has actually frozen, so I force closed it and reopen it to type things in. Done.
I've had a similar issue before. Just download the gingerbread keyboard.apk and reinstall it.
I think this is likely an issue with swype considering your license to be duplicated after the update, and blocking the use of it (the identifier for your license is probably tied to the software version you are on).
I have approximately same issue with my HTC Desire S after I updated it to 2.3.5
The phone is new, not rooted (untouched)
please help me to fix it :-(

I assume you've tried all the above suggestions, including installing gb keyboard from market and they've failed?

Before rooting and unlocking, I had downloaded and installed swype. After unlocking which wiped my grouper, I installed the swype installer and logged in, but when I get to the screen where I am supposed to choose a build and download, it just shows the progress circle going around and around but never gives me the option to actually download and install the keyboard.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or know how to get past it?
Try wiping data for the Swype installer under settings - apps
I've reinstalled the beta many times by restoring the installer from backup.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked under settings - security
The Swype installer checks this and prompts you if it's not set but maybe it's choking at that spot.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried that, tried uninstalling the installer and reinstalling it and doing it again, rebooting in between all. I'm kind of getting frustrated now. I can't stand the stock keyboard. No long-press numbers on the top row, and the mod that brings that back kills the swiping function.
I'm getting sick of re-typing my username and password like a bazzillion times
I got this iron man of a phone yesterday and rooted yesterday. I noticed a lot of bloat so I uninstalled a bunch of it. Now my s voice doesn't work(it forced closed when I asked a question) so what apps affect it. What should I not have deleted? And where can I get it back?
I don't know what I deleted that did it because I deleted a bunch of stuff that looked useless.
Thanks

Might be the ChatOn.
To get it back, restore to factory via Kies or ODIN.
I removed chat on but s voice still works. Did you remove Samsung apps?
Yeah I think I took some out... gonna just factory reset -.-
S Voice doesn't work at all, even after a reset.
I didn't uninstall anything, but after I rooted, S-Voice quit working. It just crashes every time I try to use it.
I tried factory reset twice, and hard reset twice (vol-up + home + pwr), with the exact same result.
It is so bad, that after the reset, when the software asks what language do you want to setup the phone, text-to-speech quits before you can even hit next.
I tried changing the default tts from Samsung to Google, but I got the same result.
Anybody with any ideas???

Yes, sorry, but you should restore back to Factory using Odin. But just in case you don't know, doing this won't reset your settings and apps, so feel free to restore back as soon as you have weird issues or errors.

**** if you didn't uninstall anything, it might be the root that caused stuff to not work then. That is the same problem that I had, except I did uninstall a bunch of stuff.
*EDIT* I have confirmed that it is in fact the root that makes S voice not work. I restored to factory using my firmware from this site

Works perfectly, was having the same problem after recent root.
You can set them back to system apps after you have reset.
Now I just need to get my default home launcher to actually launch when I reset the phone.
"You can set them back to system apps after you have reset."
I noticed on my phone, if S VOICE is a user app, Double Clicking Home key works once to start S Voice but if I go to messaging or maps or any other application, double click does not bring me back to S VOICE.
I reverted S VOICE back to system app and double click works as advertised again
Hello...
I Have Some Problem with my N900..
after update by wifi I notice some lag when i was typing message ... slow response when typing on keyboard ...
i have just 10 APPs installed on my Note 3 and my android version is 4.3 Stock-not rooted...In addition I haven't any lag issues at all in my launcher or gallery.
Please Help me if anyone experienced this problem...
If Factory reset remove All of the updates?
What Should I do?
thank you...
Does this also happen on another keyboard? (Swiftkey? Hackers Keyboard?)
Factory reset keeps the current system version, but you will have to re-update all the apps.

Unfortunatly yes....on another keyboards I had this lag too... but right now I solve it...
I noticed that the lags weren't the result of the updates.. they happened just because I turned off some apps in app manager... like evernote , software update , chat on , yahoo finance , google search and some else...
So I turned the apps on and the lags went away.....
But now I dont understand why this problem occure for my device...if any one has the same problem ?
I expected turning off the apps shoud improve my device performanc and more free space of ram...but it make my keyboard so laggy and slow...

I expect it was one app that caused the issue, as opposed to all of them. Possibly one that works with the keyboards.
You could turn them off again one by one until you find the culprit.

Try to reflash latest stock firmware, after boot up, dont fill in your Gmail or samsung account, then factory reset on setting. after boot up, dont fill in your gmail or samsung account again, let it boot at the first screen, then try your keyboard again on messaging apps.

I'm not sure what happened, but my Google Keyboard seems to have disappeared. Google Keyboard is not showing as an option under "Keyboard & input methods". I have Flesky and Swiftkey, so I'm getting by, but I don't know how to get it working. Gboard shows under Apps, and I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, force stop, and uninstall/reinstall, but it still doesn't appear as an option to use as a keyboard. How can I rectify this? Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution.

Google keyboard is replaced by Gboard but I think you already knew that. Also if you are on a custom ROM flash Gapps again. Gboard will appear on input options. If not maybe you have factory reset or wait for the app to be updated again .
PS did you reboot after clearing cache?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not rooted and therefore don't have a custom ROM, just the one that came with the device, so therefore I can't really flash anything. I went into recovery mode and did a cache wipe there, which, of course, requires reboot, to no avail. I'll wait to see if an update comes out soon and will live with 3rd party keyboards in the meantime. For what it's worth, I've included screen shots showing that Gboard is showing as an app but is not showing as an available keyboard. When I click "Current Keyboard", my only options are Flesky and Swiftkey.
The reply is appreciated.

Sorry to hear. If you do manage to get it fixed please reply to this thread. Thanks. I am on 7.0 and Gboard is running fine.

Update: I finally got Gboard back. I tried a number of things, including a manual download and install of the apk. I decided to try Slash keyboard, and, when I installed it, I was taken to the screen to enable it, and, voila', Gboard shows up with an enable option. I don't know what happened, but it's working now.

Actually, in your second screenshot, if you tap on "Current Keyboard" there will be a button to choose keyboard. If you press that, it will bring you to the screen where you can enable/disable keyboards. That's probably why Gboard was hidden.

Yep. Not intuitive to me, but you're correct. I thought "Current Keyboard" was just a prompt to select one from the pop-up window. Often the answers are simple if you know where to look. Thanks! :good:

No worries! They changed the menu structure in Nougat so it's more intuitive now.
Probably off topic but does anyone else not like the update they did to the keyboard? No way to remove that search menu row? I have never used the suggestions and wished I could remove it.

Go to input > virtual > Gboard > settings > search and disable it.
It removes the search G but still keeps the row there. See attachment.

Yeah that's true. I can't find an option to disable that. Maybe it's not possible in this update.

Hey everyone.
Lastnight I installed, an android 7.0 custom rom to my tab pro 10.1. I used TWRP to flash install the ROM when it installed it automatically rebooted my device before I could go on to Gapps and install them with the the ROM. So when the ROM loaded up I connected to my hub (using the keyboards) then had a look at the new OS and the wife had a look out of interest with me and everything was working well in fact it was quicker than it was when we got it brand new.
Then playtime over rebooted back into TWRP and flashed Gapps. Then it rebooted again. When it finally loaded back in I was met with a loading screen saying Android is Starting which wouldn't go away but it asked me to sign back on to the Hub so went to do this on problem was.....no Keyboard.....so I managed to get into my setting through quick menu settings and find input settings and there is no keyboard installed to the device...it asked me to add one but I can't because I can't type and even if I could the android is starting message is still going.
Please help I am new to this and I want to learn all this type of thing but I am completely puzzled on what to do. I tried clear chase and data and even tried factory reset.....tried installing gapps on twice (before the factory reset) and nothing was working.
I am tough to use odin to flash it back to standard rom and start again but I could do with some pointers with what i have done wrong.
Thanks people

You may wish to ask over in the Galaxy Tab Pro forums at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8 - you've somehow wandered into the Moto G4 forums
But as a very general suggestion - sounds like your GApps isn't happy with your custom ROM. You may have to clean flash your custom ROM again and verify that the GApps you're flashing is suitable for your device/custom ROM.
I agree with you I have just download the same rom and a stock gapps and I had the same message and again with no keyboard.....agian. Difference this time I haven't rushed to do a factory reset and gone back and reflashed the android 7.0 rom and I am back working again with keyboard but no google apps.
Is there a way of installing them a different way, only 2 google apps I use is play store and gmail. I have tried installing a google play store and play services apk but doesn't work. It goes to load and then just stops.....feels like I need a list of apps to get them going.
Hope someone can help
I worked out my problem with Gapps, "android is starting messages" and no keyboard.
1. I needed to wipe my cache, data and davarlik (whatever it says....looks like darlik to me...lol) before and after.
2. Like fella before said my ROM didn't like the Gapps package I had downloaded, so everytime I had the android message I went back on to TWRP and restored back to the orginal point where the lineage ROM worked, then went back on to the net and installed the next Gapps package and repeated till I found a package that worked......that package was the "Micro" package.
Any google apps I was missing I simply just downloaded them via the playstore after.
I realise this is a moto G forum but I find that sometimes you need to go other places to find answers and I had originally looked in the samsung Tab Pro 10.1 forum section and couldn't find anything similar to my problem this fella at the beginning of the thread was the closest to my problem I could fine.
Hope this helps
