Had this problem before. A simple reboot did the trick for me. :]
rebooted.. it worked for awhile. then it started up again. seems to be on and off.. very random. i looked thru everything on my phone thinking "maybe" theres some option thats making it do this, but nothing. its quite annoying when im trying to txt.

I'm assuming you're talking about the physical keyboard; its a quick keys bug, just push the search button first and it'll disable it

There actually is a setting for keyboard shortcuts - clear all of them and the problem goes away. No bug, the ROM has the shortcuts set when you flash it for some reason. Flash a newer ROM and it shouldn't do it - or just clear the shortcuts.
I can't look in my phone right now to tell you where the setting is at but it might do some good for you to look through them and become familiar so you don't call something a bug that isn't.

yeah i figured this was the problem. i looked through my phone pretty throughly and didn't see any options though. I'll look again and get back to this thread n report.
this has been happening on and off to my phone for the last couple of weeks, I am still running RC4. it is very strange, the ROM worked fine for a while and now does this every so often, pressing E opens email app, S opens search. a reboot fixed everytime and then for what seems like no reason at all, it starts again.
will go to stable this week and hopefully it will go away. just thought i'd add another device to the list of ones with the issue.
i have no shortcuts setup at all, and have double checked. have been using CM7 since the start and it never happened prior to RC4.
When this happen just hit the "symb/search" button and the keyboard will work again
Sorry it took so long to get back with the cure but here it is:
settings>applications>quick launch
In there is where all the hw keyboard shortcut settings are. Clear any you don't want, create new ones, or whatever. Clear the ones that are giving you issues and this should solve it. If you ever clear your user data (factory reset) then it clears these settings also, so you may have to go in and delete the shortcuts again.
Hope this helped!
thank you! i cleared it all.

This is my first time posting. I know how annoying reposts are, so I tried to find if anyone else had the same problems I have. Unable to find an answer, I seek a solution to my strange problem...
I flashed CM7 three days ago. Before flashing, I did a full factory reset, wiped cache, etc. I also performed a backup of rom, which was at the time CM6. Everything worked without a hitch for these past three days. I installed new programs, really enjoyed the new features. However, today, the screen suddenly became unresponsive.
It acts as though I am long-pressing something when I am not. It will not register even hard taps and when I try to hit the home key it brings up the most recent apps list as though I long-pressed. I have reset, but it keeps doing this. When I try to use an app where scrolling is required, it bounces back to the spot I started scrolling. Very frustrating. Any solutions?
At first I thought it was from installing swype beta, but after removing it completely, resetting, and reflashing, the screen continues to act up.
Flash your backup and see if you still have the same problem

Hey thanks for your suggestion. I've tried it but the screen problem continues. I even tried going back to the stock rom. Do you think it's a hardware issue?
Having the same problem using MexDroid for the G2...have to resort to the trackball half the time because the touchscreen doesn't work right or at all.
I reinstalled the ROM twice already and it keeps acting up at some random point after installing a few apps (none of which affect the touchscreen as far as I know). Tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions...nothing. Happens regardless of overclock settings too.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem... i.e. misery likes company... but I'm also sorry to hear that you have the problem, as well. There seems to be nothing that I can do at the moment. Since the phone is still under warranty, I guess I could just flash the original rom, factory reset, and send it back for a new one. I'd rather find a solution, though, in case it happens again.

The weird thing is that it only happens sometimes...like, sometimes I'll get 100% accurate/responsive touchscreen use, while other times I can pinch all I want and never zoom in. I think it might have something to do with my lowering the screen density - right now I have it at 140, and earlier at 190, and it seems that when I have the stock 240 or the 190, I have better luck with the touchscreen than with at 140...but the usefulness of the lower screen density outweighs the better touchscreen for me.

How do you change the screen density?
Okay so since I flashed the Google images from 41d to 41f after it gets past the boot animation it comes up to android is updating each time. Anyone else out there experiencing this or is it suppose to happen? Not big deal just wondering.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Do you have an update file on your Storage? Perhaps it's looking for one at every bootup?
Just a guess.
I have same problem. Could you be more specific? For what exactly to look and where?
Mine did that before and after flashing. Seen it happpening in video reviews when the phone boots up too...very common?
Nope wiped the "sdcard" and fastboot the whole image from google.
Glad I'm not the only one out there having this happen.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Okay I got it to stop but here is what I did and now understand what it does.
Wipe dalvik and cache
Flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
It then rebuilt the dalvik cache and cache on first boot and havent seen it since
Maybe if one of you are will to try this method out to see if it keeps happening
Wipe dalvik and cache
Then reboot
If that works then its just dalvik cache and cache that needed to be cleared out.
Just tried your last suggestion and it didn't work. The only difference was, that after wipe cache and restart, android upgrading start optimizing the applications. This take about 3 minutes (it's deppends of how many apps you have). After second reboot it just say Android updating and start immediately after that. I'm start thinking this is not a bug, but a feature.
Mine's done it since I bought it, just figured it was a feature.
well i think its just starting all the background services before you get to the homescreen... maybe to prevent laggs in the first seconds after start?

Same here, I always thought it was normal that it is just checking for updates on startup.

Same here. I thought it was a little weird at first, but it doesn't really bother me. Only takes a couple of seconds.

Most probably for both reasons
Maybe we will find out more since they just release 4.0.2
At least I am not the only one. Makes me feel a little better...but with over 100 apps it takes a while to finish...grumble.

Hmm, I'd have thought it was only checking/updating the Android OS, not all your apps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It's completely normal, doesn't anyone use the search function on this forum?
Ok, you say it's normal, all i know is that when i used a stock ROM with no mods/tweaks, just CWM and SuperSU it didn't happen
Lately I've experienced an annoying problem. I recently went back to rosie launcher after hox got updated, and I really like it. BUT sometimes when I press the home button leaving an application, I get a screen of my wallpaper "blurred" out and a wheel spinning, saying 'loading'. I guess this is sense reloading, most likely because it had to be shut down to free up some RAM or something (?).
Is there something I should check or do to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!
I'm not 100% this will fix your problem, but if you're on a custom rom you should try clearing your cache/dalvik cache again , i started getting a really laggy rosie on Sense 4.1, until i erased my caches again, i don't know if it will fix your problem, or if you're even on a custom rom, but it's worth a shot right?
It's completely stock 4.0.4, recently updated to 2.17.401.2 Rosie runs really smooth, but it's just this reload that happens randomly. Do you mean clearing cache for HTC Sense in the apps-section in settings ? Or is it a bit more advanced?

Oh, sorry i thought you were custom rommed , right you could try clearing that cache as it seems like something is crashing your rosie launcher , Is it the same loading bar, like when you restart your device, little white box with a spiney circle?
Have you installed any third party application lately or even played about with some settings? i'd double check everything and try clear some caches. Did it seem like it lagged a lot then restarted rosie?

I cleared the cache for sense tho. No lagg before the loading screen. There IS a white box, but the spiney circle and "LOADING" is the only items on screen except wallpaper. Only thing I've done in settings lately is deactivating Locations-widget and twitter-widget because they were draining battery. I don't know if the problem was present when I bought the phone either, cause I changed to Apex launcher quite fast
hmm
Looks like this.

I had the same problem especially after exiting Flipboard, the 4.1 made it worse, it was reloading pretty often and randomly.
I simply switched the phone off and on and since then it has not happened yet 4-5 days of normal usage. I guess there was something hogging memory. I know it is not very scientific but with stock we don't have many options I'm afraid.

Already rebooted the device a couple of times, but still there. Thanks for your tip tho
I could of course do a hard reset and just set up the phone again. It's easy to install lots of crap when experimenting with home screens and widgets.
Go settings, developer options, tick don't keep activities, hit the home button, then back into developer options and untick the option.

Thanks, will remember that if it happens again. I did a hard reset today and haven't noticed anything wrong yet
I don't know if anyone else is facing this issue but after update, apps close expectedly and it is very very irritating since important data is also lost in some instances. I have reset and cleared cache but nothing has improved.

Edit - Don't use any themes downloaded from Playstore or anywhere else. Just use the themes that came with the phone and see if there are any crashes or restarts?

Make sure you have not applied any theme.
Also turn off the option to automatically close power intensive apps in the battery settings.

Hi all I've this issue too someone have solved?
I have this exact issue. It started after the update to B183 firmware. I've checked all the battery saving settings, did a soft and hard reset, but the issue still lingers. I've called Honor support line and they asked me to hard reset the phone, but I told them that I've already did that. They asked me to take the phone to a repair center but I live in a island and the center is on the mainland.
Ive had an Honor 8 before and had no issues whatsoever with any updates. Honor dropped the ball on this one.
If you can rollback, that will be the best decision

Don't use any custom theme or font.
Also set your screen size to normal.
I too had this problem and did a factory reset. The issue persisted even after the hard reset but was gone in a day.
I guess give it time to settle down.
