Weird keyboard glitch? - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

I was just on twitter and doing my daily stuff such as browsing the inter net, youtube, in stage am and notice the keyboard pops up and becomes unresponsive... I can still press the home button and interact with things but the keyboard just sits there. After pressing the sleep/wake button it solves the problem but now the screen is unresponsive and takes a few seconds to get back to normal.... this happens frequently and would like to know what the problem... any thoughts, or suggestions on what I can do? Maybe flash official ROM?

very annoying feature that i wish to turn off

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.

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.

[Q] Touchscreen Keyboard Issue

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.

YouTube keeps crashing on my tablet.

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, when I am watching a YouTube video, the app starts lagging and getting really slow, and then the screen turns black. My whole tablet becomes laggy, and then the YouTube app crashes. It doesn't even say "Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped". It just closes and loads up my home screen. One time when this happened, the app was just stuck on the black screen, and it didn't even close. My whole tablet was frozen. Eventually it said "YouTube is not responding. Do you want to close it?", and I tried clicking yes, but the button didn't even change color. Eventually, it said " System process is not responding. Do you want to close it?", which just shows how bad this problem is. When I pressed and held the power button it didn't even bring up the menu that lets you shut down you device. I eventually had to just force restart my tablet by pressing and holding the power button for 8 seconds. This awful glitch mainly happens when I am using double tap to seek, which is a very useful feature, but I want to disable it because it causes this error. Sometimes it happens when I am not even using double tap to seek. This is really annoying and frustrating since I watch YouTube videos on my tablet a lot. I need a solution to this. If anyone could provide me with a working one that would be great.
Is there any difference if it's charging or not?
Change your adreno driver !

Random "Back" Problem -- Downgrade Possible?

Hello everyone,
just wondering, is it possible to downgrade from G981WVLU2DUH1 to G981WVLU2DUG1. Both are Android11. The reason is that I am experiencing this random "Back" of the screen ... meaning i am not even touching the phone but it go and do the "back" command (i did not press the "back" button). For example, I am watching video in youtube in fullscreen. Then after sometime, in the middle of watching a video, the screen will go to small screen (not full screen). It happens everywhere (every apps) and I just noticed it when watching video. The issue started updating to UH1.
Note: I call it "back" because the problem seems that the back button was pressed even though it was not.
omg man i have very similar issue. after i factory reset the device it starts to behave really weird...it randomly tries to rotate the screen and also navigation buttons act by it self... whenever i use my phone to watch or play something... example i wrote a mail today and while doing so sudenly my device sad ''message saved to draft'' WTF but i didnt even press home or back button. also in gaming when i move my finger across the screen it randomly flips my screen but it comes back right in a sec LOL cant believe how a factory reset made can worsen the device. i sware to myself this is last Samsung device...im done with there halfbaked products. i didnt have those issues before reset to be clear.
just to let u know that i managed to fix those issues by reflashing a software via ODIN... LOL i cant believe how f...ed up is Samsungs firmware. for the record at first i factory reset my device strait from the phone and the i got those issues and then i sad let me reflash it again but this time with Odin software and yep it worked.
