[Q] Not seeing anyone else post with this issue... - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Received my M8 this past Monday. Great phone, but wondering if anyone else having this issue and if I should try to get it replaced now. I've noticed that when I have the HTC keyboard up and running, it will randomly "glitch out." Like a tiling picture almost just on the keyboard section. Now I know I can just use another keyboard. I was an advent Google keyboard fan as I'm coming from the last 2 Nexus devices (4 and 5). Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. I searched online, but only seeing others complain about the language input.
Thanks

Do a factory reset, and see if that changes anything for you.

Same here, although not as often as in M7.

I am also having the same issue but haven't found anything online yet. It's been happening to me for a couple of weeks now and I can't think of any software that I installed around the time this started
Droid X
2.2.1
Fission_2.5.7_BE
Did anyone ever figure out what was causing this? I believe the exact message is "Your feed database doesn't go back that far. I'm sorry. "
This is seriously the only Google result for this issue, other than this, and I'm having the exact same issue...except on my Nexus One with CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1. No clue what's doing it. It happens every few hours, and is kind of irritating.
I'm having the same issue!
I'm having the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy Note2 on Verizon....I have no idea why it's doing it...but I'm determined to find out!

[Q] Synergy RLS1 Keyboard issues

Couldn't post this in the synergy thread as don't have enough posts. Have not seen anyone else with this problem.
About once a day my keyboard will no longer display what I type on the screen. I can see it cycling through the dictionary but nothing will end up on the screen. Been doing this for the last several synergy releases.
This is with ANY keyboard as have tried the default android, Gingerbread from the market and Swype. Once I reboot the problem goes away for a time.
Problem usually surfaces in Handcent or Enhanced Email as those are the programs where I am the most and typing.
Anyone else run into this?
Thanks!

No idea, I used synergy for a good long time and never had that issue. What I'd suggest you do:
Use the stock e-mail and messenger apps for a day and see if the problem happens in there. If it does, then you might need a clean, fresh install. If not, then you know the problem lies Handcent and Enhanced E-mail apps and, thus, I recommend finding replacements or learn to like the stock apps.
Worst case, just reboot the phone when it happens. Reboots are like erasers, it fixes all the problems.
If I helped, please hit the thanks button ^_^
Thanks for the reply!
Am assuming that a clean install would fix but have been seeking to avoid.
I did switch to Smart Keyboard Pro from the Gingerbread one and it seems like it may have fixed it.
Need a couple more days to verify...

Weird Annoying Typing Issue

Is anybody getting this weird issue when they're typing: The keyboard all of a sudden just goes away on it's own after 2 or 3 keystrokes. It happens a lot when I use the Bing Search function. I'll get two or three letters down then the keyboard abruptly goes away. So I have to get two or three key presses in each time I restart the process.
Anybody know what could be causing this? It's not just limited to my Bing Search, I literally got so frustrated trying to start this thread through my phone's browser that I had to dig out the laptop instead.
And this is happening on a Lumia 900?

the symptoms are those of the disappearing keyboard issue with mango. Its supposedly fixed in this release of mango. However several people have reported seeing it.
I suggest you report it to Nokia at the web site. You won't be able to fix it on your own.

This still happens to me occasionally on both my original Focus, and my Lumia 900. Both are updated.

Ok, I didn't know if it was a symptom of Mango or the Lumia. It's just so weird when it happens, I notice it when I'm low on battery more often, but idk what sort of relevance that would have. Thanks for the tip though.
Yeah, I get it quite often on my Lumia 900. Also my Radar still has it happen occasionally, my girlfriends Radar has it happen more than mine. All updated as well.

Are you sure you're not accidently rubbing you hand/finger on the back button? The back button, since it's universal, will remove the keyboard if it's on screen. And because Back, Home and Search button all use capative touch instead of having to push them, simply rubbing or bumping them will cause them to activate.
I had this problem when I first got my Lumia, but I've adjusted and adapted.

For me, definitely not. I've tested it many times on my Lumia and my Focus. It's definitely something to do with the keyboard deactivating itself. It happens to me a lot if I try to share an article I read in WP7 News app and go to email. When I try to type my name in the TO: field, I get one or two letters, then it goes away and I end up clicking/typing in the message body.
It seems like if I give it a moment to rest, then start typing, it's less likely to do it, but that's a little annoying, since I want to check my stuff and get on with things. Not a huge issue, mind you, but annoying none the less.
No, im not accidentally touching the back buttons.I'll ask my girlfriend if she's having the same problem, but it's gotta be a software issue from what I'm hearing now.

Huh, this doesn't happen to me though. Guess it's only effecting certian modles... Nonetheless, this kind of defeats their whole add campaign (Smartphone beta test is over)

at&t has not rolled the fix out yet, but the lumia supposedly has it. Other carriers that rolled out the fix, still report some problems, though not nearly as widespread. AT&T says they will roll out the fix around the tango release timeframe..i think it needs more work.
Mine is doing it now after updating to the latest software, this sucks! I hope they fix it asap, very annoying when composing text and the keyboard disappear!

I have actually noticed this problem less and less as the weeks have gone on. It's not so much that I'm getting used to it, cause I notice when it does happen, I think it was just a weird thing. I haven't had a problem personally since the update either.
Hi,
I don't have this issue on my 900 nor does my wife see it on hers. That said, let me offer what I know about the keyboard disappearing from previous hardware/builds.
When I had this issue on earlier hardware (Focus/Focus S) it was caused by apps set to run in the background. When an app is set to run in the background, the app would shift focus away from the current user task for a split second, and if you have the keyboard out the keyboard thinks you've switched to a different task and it closes. The way I worked around it was to disable background tasking for all my apps (settings -> applications -> background tasks. Note that when an app updates itself, it will reset this background task setting so you have to reset it. I never saw this problem again after I updated my Focus S to 8107. Still, it might not hurt as a troubleshooting step to disable background tasks and see if the problem reappears.

so far, i've not encounter this issue with my phone yet, but seems to be affecting mango version only, coz mine is already on tango....

HOX on Orange UK. Getting worse. WIFI 'not in range' and Keyboard not responding

Hi All,
I hope someone can help me on this one, I've had a good search of both this forum and the internet in general on a couple of occasions and not found anything that can help me with my specific problems.
I'm relatively new to Android, and am running a HTC One X on Orange UK, still locked and on Android version 4.0.3.
I've really been enjoying the phone (battery life excepted), but a couple of things have begun to Plague me over the last couple of days.
1) I've installed SwiftKey and a couple of months ago, a very intermittent bug started happening, where as soon as I entered a text field, the keyboard would appear as normal, and the keys would 'pop up' to show I'd hit them, I'd even get the haptic feedback, but nothing would be entered into the text field. This tended to happen without fail when I was trying to show off to iPhone-owning friends. For a month or two, this was a minor annoyance, sometimes, clearing the cache at settings>apps>all>HTC Sense would fix it, sometimes it required a reboot. However, I've just done my second reboot of the day - it's getting worse. It doesn't seem to be Swiftkey exclusive, as it's just happened to me with the Sense keyboard.
2) This is a new problem that has only cropped up since mid-last-week; The phone has started to lose WIFI connections. Connections that I know are there. My HOX will be telling me that my home router is out of range, when my nexus 7 (and my laptop, and my wife's iPad) are all happily working away on that connection whilst in the same room. I haven't done the squeeze test yet, but I'm pretty sure that it's not a loose connection as a reboot addresses the problem. The same problem occurs at work so I've ruled out my router (I restarted it for the first time in months anyway, but that hasn't stopped the problem).
The last reboot (the one that's prompted this post) took place because both issue happened at once. I've taken care of my HOX, it's faced no physical trauma, it's unrooted, I've only ever installed apps from Play store, Amazon and Humble Bundle. The phone really seems to be degenerating badly at the moment, and I'm wondering if this is down to a software upgrade. I'm wonderng this because I've noticed the phone warming up in my pocket quite a lot recently and the battery life has been worse than normal.
Any advice that anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
The wifi thing is the standard HOX fault, and it'll need to be repaired. Check out the monster thread on it.
Thanks Rusty,
I'm going to look into that tonight. I don't believe that it is a loose antenna, but I'll confirm.

[Q] learning new words on Android 4.3 keyboard?

So here is my problem. Recently I upgraded from 4.1.3 to 4.3. I noticed that the Samsung keyboard now no longer seems to learn new words. Whenever I try to swipe "s#!t" or "[email protected]#$", or even a more modest word like suck, I can't use swipe. It never gives me such options. I can still type them letter by letter, but that's v slow and annoying. The Old keyboard learned the words. The new one doesn't, unless I don't know how, in which case please tell me.
Tapping the new word or clicking arrows doesn't seem to do anything.
Bump...
[SOLUTION for 4.3 Keyboard learning new words]
Found the solution by chance.
So I went into the settings once more, and I saw that auto replacement was switched off. So I switched this on and tried words that it didn't remember previously. And now it suddenly remembers the words! The more you use the words the better it seems to be able to predict them.
Happy camper!
