Try holding the menu button. That forces it up for most things.

Ive already tried that, I think its only for the droid. Any more ideas?

most android phones can pull up the on screen kb by holding down menu. but nope, not the g2.

I have noticed that the menu doesnt bring up the keyboard either. Kind of agrevating to say the least.

Well anyone any ideas?

If you have a task manager/killer try removing it....that is a common cause of android fc's

The only force close I've gotten so far is by using bettercut to change Icons.
No force closing been using it for a while and I am very happy with it

Now that I see someone mentioned that launcher pro causes force closes. Can anyone verify that? I'm using launcher pro plus from day one of owning g2 so I don't know if it would do the same on launcher 2. But I have also been using pro plus on my previous phones without these problems.

I didn't install many things on my phone and it has been working fine for a little more than a week and then 2 days ago google voice began force closing absolutely out of no where... and it still isn't working properly.
I'm using adw launcher...the launcher works fine, its just my apps that FC from time to time...I don't know why,all my apps are up to date and I'm not using task killer

The only app I've really had a problem with is ironically the xda app I'm using right now, primarily when I open it after an existing session.

Physical keyboard issue in CM7?

So I dont know if any have you come across this issue, but when using the physical keyboard some apps get launched when pressing certain keys. For instance if I am typing a text message.... and I press "e" key... the E-Mail setup app gets launched.... really annoying
any thoughts?
Do you have the desire or vision?

Its a Quick Launch issue caused by a stuck search key; either press the seach key first or go into Settings/Applications/Quick Launch and disable all the launchers there

Maybe the digitizer flex cable got loosened or damaged after many keyboard opening-closing cycles

Today whenever I press the messaging icon I get the last app I had open instead.
Very strange.

I've seen this with Google Music. I've force stopped and cleared data but the problem randomly comes back and I dont know whats triggering it

For me, the best working solution is to press multitasking button and swipe away all the apps.

Thats what i did too
At first i tried to open my music, it opened my google voice instead :/ but thats the temporarily solution i suppose :/
This has not gone away. Even if I try to access messaging from the app drawer or recent app list it doesn't work. Hitting back cycles through other apps, does not help. The only way to access messaging is through the people app or through a notification.

Try rebooting it?
Like someone said, swipe away all the recent apps.

[Q] Bluetooth Nexus 7 Keyboard

Just had one delivered today, and already installed external keyboard helper to change the $ to £. All works fine, except that the home and back button dont seem to do anything.
Has anyone else bought a similar one? Do these buttons work for you? I am running the latest LiquidSmooth rom (4.4.2) on my N7(2013).
