It happens to me every now and then. When you hold down the search button and hit certain keys it acts like a shortcut. Search + g = gmail. I don't have to restart the phone, just hit the search button to clear up the stuck key/input. Also I think you can disable these shortcuts in the settings menu.

when i'm in a text message with the keyboard closed and i decide to reply to the message and open the keyboard, the message screen rotates and the dial screen appears. no matter what i do this happens. is there a fix 4 this?
never happened on mine before.
The screen rotation is intentional. Perhaps you're accidentally hitting the "call" button when you extend the keyboard? I tend to hit the volume control myself - that, or I end up pressing the screen somewhere.
Seems to work
shasarak i think your advice worked. I found a new way to open and close plus i reset. Now i just need to find a solution to the spontaneous and occasional shut down.
Realized that the shut down happens when i close the screen over the keyboard to hard. another little surprise.
I've had this problem on every iteration of CM7 thus far where occasionally after entering my message, whether in a text message or search engine, the keyboard will stay maximized rather than disappearing as it normally would. The only way I can get rid of it is to press back and reenter my search or exit by pressing the home key and then navigate back. Anyone else encountered this?

try pressing t and then swiping down. you need to press for about half a second before swiping. also try holding the menu key.

Well at that point he'd have to press back, because long pressing the key brings up the keyboard; unless I interpreted it incorrectly.

not a long press. about half a second. then swipe your finger down to the spacebar. the keyboard will disappear on stock gb kb. or just hold the menu button. it will also disappear.
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!
Every so often, the touchscreen is way off when I am typing meaning that when I press a key, it thinks I am pressing the screen nearly an inch to the left. So if i press delete, it presses space bar. If i try to push P it registers G on the keypad. The only way to fix it is to restart. It is usually fine for a while, sometimes days, before it happens again. I am using the stock LG Keyboard. Just didnt know if anyone else has run into this issue or how to get to stop happening.
Hope someone can help, I've searched but couldn't find the answer.
I have a really annoying problem in that if I lock my phone then unlock it, if i open an already open app, the bottom key bar (which contains the back key, home key and open apps key) is unresponsive apart from the home button. If I'm in messaging, the keyboard will be as well. If I press the back button for example, it shows it being pressed but does nothing. Sometimes the Google search thing pops up when you hold the home button. To remedy the only way is to press home then open again without locking the screen. Any ideas?
Ya samething happens to my phone also but not always. Wait buddy you will get more bugs like this its sony.
RichRoberts44, what is your FW? Do you have root? Did U unlock bootloader? More info is needed to even try to find a solution
This happens to me also from time to time and I don't even use the key bar, I use gestures with a 3rd party app. When this happens only home gesture works. It does happen rarely though.
The same problem began on my phone two weeks ago. Over the last two weeks, it increased. I had to restart my phone all the time. Besides the two issues you describe, I had two additional issues:
The clock on the lock screen didn't always appear when I managed to turn on the phone.
When I put the phone to sleep, I often couldn't turn it back on for several minutes.
Over the two weeks, all the problems occurred still more often. At the end, it was so annoying, that I backed up all my stuff and did a factory reset and recovered the backup. Now it is working perfectly again.
I run 14.4.A.0.157
are y0u r00ted 0r what?h0w ab0ut the running apps?is it t00 many?
