Am I the only one who keeps accidentally pressing the keyboard language change button while typing and then having to press it again a million times to get back to English?!?
Is there not a way to lock the keyboard language so it doesn't change? This is really bugging me, happens about once a day to me.

First thing I did when I got the phone was to download "ICS Keyboard" off the market. It's a big improvement!
I had the same problem until I installed the SmartKeyboard. I'm still getting used to it, but I would recommend it so far!

How were you able to change the keyboard? I've changed it in settings, then tried to bring up the popup by pressing down in the messaging app, I never get a prompt?

Hey,
I've come across the same bug as everyone else - where Swype doesn't work properly (keyboard works, but you can slide the keys around) and you have to uninstall it and reinstall. So I've followed that and it worked fine until I rebooted where I got the same problem again! I've since reinstalled it three-four times and continuously have the same problem.
I've also noticed that the phone is continuously awake when Swype works correctly, but when it isn't working 100% (i.e. can't slide the keys around) it can correctly go to sleep and lock.
Anyone else come across this or know a fix?
Did they not release a new version for 2.2?
Go to the Swype site and re request the email with the link to the installer is sent to you again.

This worked for me with Swype
On a text-input screen, long hold and select a keyboard. Input a no. of letters and then long hold again, and now select Swype as text input method. Job is oxo.
Hi, I do get the same situation, that after rebooting or (I suspect) even when mounting the usb sdcard, I need to switch to another keyboard and back. Might have something to do with A2SD though ?
and yes, sometimes swype goes crazy and starts messing with the touchscreen multitouch badly.

Don't even have to type anything. If swype isn't "swyping" follow the following steps:
1) Long press on the text input box
2) Select a keyboard other than SWYPE
3) Long press on input box again
4) Reselect SWYPE

This works for me.
this fix also worked for me
Sometimes this has happened to me and I was wondering on how to fix it and if anyone else has had this issue. Recently when I am in an app and I try to use my Hard keyboard if I press any of these keys it launches an app
(e - email
l - calender
p - don't recall.
g - gmail)
Anyone else see this ever. Usually I just use the onscreen keyboard when this happens and later it works again. This happened to me in the facebook app and also in dolphin browser.

Check Applications --> Quick Launch and see if you have any keys assigned to those apps.
It's my quick launch I think my search key was acting like it was pressed even though it wasn't. Thank you. Most have been stuck. Thank you.
It happens when you press the app key once by accident on the top left of the keyboard. Press it again and it turns off the shortcuts.
The app key? Which one is that? This happens to me a lot and I just mash on the keyboard until it goes away. I also am having problems with the keyboard not working at all. Sometimes I open the phone up and the whole keyboard stops working and I have to reboot the phone.
Also once I was on Dolphin browser and I was logging into Google plus and my numbers were acting funny. I could not press the ALT button to activate the numbers I had to hold the ALT then press the numbers. I thought that was weird.

Do you know any way to disable Quick Launch? Or maybe disabling all the pre-assigned things? --Do Not Want--
Thanks

Long press on the shortcut and it should give you an option to clear it.

The default shortcuts are the search button plus a letter. It happened to me once, and after pushing the search button on the top right of my keyboard a few times, everything started working fine again. Hope that helps.

Keyboard not working...at all
Hey all
CM11, official with apps installed the Captivate Glide physical keyboard is hit or miss. Since the physical keyboard is the WHOLE REASON to try to modify this older phone, its functionality is important. Physical keyboard ALT commands (#'s etc) do not work in any application. The letter keys works...sometimes. I have used default keyboard settings and have no idea whehter there is a fix on the main CM11 thread.
Many thansk!:good:
Alt is a non stick key

Well the thing is alt in cm11 is not a sticky key but its non stick . What i mean by that is that if you wanna type '1'. Keep 'ALT' pressed and hit the number '1' in blue on the keyboard. the alt key dosent seem to stick for some reason.
this is actually cause of the google ime treating our physical qwerty as a desktop keyboard i think where alt is also non stick.

"Alt" doesn't work at all -- even if held during typing. I will keep searching for keyboard fixes I guess. Since the keyboard is 100% of the reason to use the Captivate Glide, it's utility is a major issue. Many thanks for your reply!
Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

Hi
The letter p is no longer responding on my touch key board. I can press many times and no response.
Also the backspace button is not that responsive.
What's the best way to fix this? Is there something I Can change in the settings or do I need to have the hardware repaired?
Thanks.

Hello everyone, I worked out a solution myself so I thought I would share it with the rest of you.
a google search would suggest that I should try another keyboard,and having tried a few this made no difference. what i then realised was that I have an app called sidebar installed which was on the bottom right hand side of my screen and was affecting the p button as well as the backspace button. I have moved the sidebar outside of the keyboard range so it's no longer an issue now. Thabjs.

Hey there.
I bought a HTC One M8 and it's a great phone to use and I'm very happy for bought it. But I have a problem with Sense 6.0. Keyboard is crashing one or two times per day, depends on using time. What I mean with crashing is, firstly predictions become invisible. When I press icon button on keyboard, nothing happens but when i press somewhere on keyboard after I press icon button, icon get pressed. When i close keyboard with back button, keyboard is unable to open again and I'm going to settings and resetting calibiration, and calibirating again. this is very tiring thing you know. My Phone is S-on and Using HTCs' orginal ROM. I have used HTC Sensation before M8 with ViperS ROM and same was happening with that. How can I solve this problem without change my keyboard. I really like look of Sense keyboard and I dont want to use swiftkey or another keyboard.
Thanks.
