Hey - not sure if this is the right place to put this as I had the same issues with the Swiftkey app on my Galaxy s2. The problem I have is intermittent.
If i go into my messaging, or email app or WhatsApp - the keyboard appears as normal however when typing on it - nothing appears at all in the text field. I have to quit to homescreen 2 or 3 times and then go back into messaging and start typing for anything to appear.
Also sometimes what happens is that the keyboard will appear and will type as normal however the top line above the keyboard which contains the predictive words won;t appear - again the resolution is to quit the messaging app that i'm in and return to it. Really frustrating at times - esp when I can't type a message!
Does anyone else have this problem? I've updated to the latest swiftkey.
I'm running stock ROM however i've rooted the handset but the problem was happening before rooting too.
Any suggestions would be welcome - apart from that i'm loving the handset.

Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:
1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.
2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.
I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
i have the first problem too... very frustrating but i like the stock sms application because its so simple... tried chomp sms and handset 2 months ago and went back to stock app because i couldnt search in greek to add a contact (i dont know if it has been fixed)...
non rooted desire with froyo
yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine
Trying to isolate this. I don't know where it came from.
It's survived multiple versions of AOKP even with full wipes.
When entering text, such a sad typing this, in any box including sms, if I try to move the cursor to correct some text the cursor will jump around and disappear. Somewhere a word or part of a word will be underlined.
I cannot control where that ends up.
It happens in all boxes. In all browsers. With different keyboards.
Does anyone else have this seriously annoying issue or an idea of what it is?
I get this sometimes, but only when using SwiftKey 3 beta.
When it starts doing it, I just pull down the notification Window and select input method, then choose android keyboard... It stops and I switch back when I'm done with the offending app (usually chrome beta).

When I 1st noticed it I was using swift key 3 beta and chrome.
I don't think its a coincidence.
But it now happens even with the stock keyboard and opera, or in SMS. Just not as often.
What ROM are you using?
I get this when trying to type a long message into a text field in the browser. Its really obnoxious.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm using BAMF Paradigm... whatever the latest is.
I get this only in web browser text boxes, and only with large amounts of text. Its always done it since 4.0.1.
But SMS, tapatalk, Gmail, none of those have the issue. Ever.
stock 4.04 rooted. i get this w/ swiftkey 2 n 3 beta
Why don't you just move the cursor with the volume keys?

Cause I'm odd. I used AOKP and Apex but have the operation pretty much factory.
That feature bugs me.
I froze swift key and have not had the issue at all since.
I think we can call it.
Let's file the bug reports!
Hey guys so im having some issues when typing text messages or when typing at all on the keyboard after recently doing something. So for example, I took a call and then ended the call and went to resume sending a text message. However, when I began typing the letters were not responding as fast as they usually do so I was making all kinds of errors. I have tried using the stock jelly bean keyboard which has the same issue and I am currently trying out swiftkey 3 and it is doing the same thing. It seems to only happen after I recently close another app or finish a task like a call. I am hoping there is some type of fix in settings or it may just be the outdated hardware however, when typing normally I can type quickly with little to no errors at all and the keyboard picks up every one of the letters I press. Any and all help is appreciated. I am also running stock jelly bean, nothing else, go the phone about two weeks ago, GSM nexus from google play. Loving it otherwise though, also loving the switch to prepaid thanks to a forum post here as well.
So I'm sure everyone has experienced performance issues when typing stuff on their keyboards. I use Swiftkey 3 and for a long time I thought it was simply performance issues with the keyboard itself, but after testing the stock Samsung keyboard, I get the same performance issues. Basically there is delays while I type, and I've linked it mostly to when the phone is doing some system-intensive task such as using the radios to send a text or receive a text.
The best way to test it is by opening up your SMS app, type up a quick text and send it. While the text is sending (usually takes a few seconds in most cases) start typing another text and you will see a significant drop in performance from your keyboard, and really everything else.
Is there a reason for this? Does it have anything to do with Android's process prioritization? Most importantly, can this be fixed?
Not sure if it's just my luck, but one thing I've noticed is when typing in a login field it clears randomly. Using stock keyboard and CleanRom currently. Happens in stock as well. Only thing that I can find to get around is getting my email added to the dictionary prediction field and swiping it in. Is it just me? Basically I type out s-h-a-m-p-o-o *bam, cleared*. Sometimes I get through a couple more letters, sometimes I don't. It's a bit frustrating.
Any one else or any ideas?
