Keyboard problem after 5.0.2 update - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, anyone else experiencing keyboard problem after lolipop update. Keyboard simply doesnt show up, tried everywhere (whatsapp, viber, skype, default sms app, messenger...). It is random, one day i encountered it for one or two times and one day for every other time i try to use it. Tried swift and other keyboard, same problem.

Been having the same issue! A quick reboot always fixes it, but it happens too often for me to just forget about it. It's extremely obnoxious too, however I can only imagine HTC will release a second OTA shortly to fix some bugs in LP.

I have same issue, random sometimes in a day

Same here. I have it less often with the stock HTC keyboard than with Swift, but still happens.
Very annoying..

+1, only i had a feeling the issue was occurring every day more often. That is the main reason for reverting back to old fashion 4.4.2.
Secondly,when I try 're-installing' my fresh and origy 5.02 backup I lost my softkeys and the navbar. That a KEY ISSUE.

@daheufster , how to restore to 4.4.2 ?
Update : i found solution, ty.

got the same isue here, I close all of my running app, then the keyboard back normal.

Same problem here! Is there a permanent fix?

I have the same issue, it's a headache now, if any one knows how to fix this issue please reply

Same issue here, haven't been able to find a solution yet. I'm going to email HTC to see if they can offer anything, I'll let you guys know if they do.

recently i flashed stock KK, and then updated to LP and now i don't have any problems with keyboard. before flashing it i formatted /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik and internal sd in cwm

I am facing same issue.
Solution : If your keyboard doesn't popup simply lock your screen and the unlock it. Your keyboard will work normally.

This work from time to time

problem with keyboard htc one m8

after i update phone to 5.0.1 sometimes i have a problem with keyboard ,randomly they stopped work ,
when i tapping the place and keyboard should appear nothing happens.
after one or two minut going back :/
any experience with this,,
thank guys
i noticed the same thing...i had to reboot the phone few times...
Same issue here!
You can wait till christmas, but nothing works to get your keyboard back..except booting..
Yes same issue here. I've mentioned it not long after the Developer Edition received the OTA.
It's not even something that we can recreate, it's just completely random. It stays that way until a reboot and then it's fine again. Very irritating.

Hello, the same problem with the keyboard .On any firmware, I have 6 different firmware problem persists.
p . s . TEL Verizon
Still having this damn problem.. Anyone know if it's isolated to Verizon phones? I'm on Verizon 5.0.1 stock, both the HTC and Google keyboard do it. Completely random, about once every day to 2-3 days. So annoying.

I had a problem with the keyboard lagging which got worse after the lollipop update, I was considering a warranty claim or rooting the phone and then the microphone packed in and the decision was made, I called the network who advised me to send it to HTC for repair which I did, it also had a few sync problems too, I asked the technical support guy about this problem and he said it would have to be reflashed, I sent it to them and they did the work, replacement microphones, replacement receiver, replacement lower board, replacement rubber something or other which I was told is something under the screen, replacement camera and a few others and of course it was flashed, I got it back after 8 days expecting my otherwise brilliant phone to be as it should be as I have come to expect from HTC, I switched it on and did the initial stages of making it work, I let it restore the last backup I made (off the phone with faults) which reported had failed but it started to restore the backed up apps, settings and my contacts, everything restored to how I had it before minus a couple of apps and a few notification settings, I have been using it for 2 days now however the keyboard has not been fixed by flashing it, unless the errors could have been brought in by the restoration? I have experienced the screen freeze and start jumping, jumping to the all open apps page, keyboard lag, keyboard is inaccurate, I went into the EE shop and they said that it should go back to HTC again, I haven't tried to hard reset it and go back to the factory settings and not restore the backup image this time, I've never had any problems with the 3 HTC phones I've owned, it is a good phone otherwise
Damn, I just went back to Dev Edition and sure enough it happened to me. Has this ever been fixed? This is way too annoying for me.
Possible Fix
For what it's worth, I went into App Manager to clear the Sense Input data as suggested by a previous poster (thank you) but did not have a 'Clear Data' button. There was a 'Settings' button though where I was able to turn off HTC Sense Input, after which my Swype keyboard immediately started working again. First time I've been able to resolve this SUPER annoying issue without rebooting the phone. Time will tell if it's a real fix; I'll update this post if not.
Phone is a brand new M8, still on stock 5.0.1

Since Lollipop update my keyboard won't open...sometimes!

So every since I updated my t-mobile HTC M8 to lollipop, about every week or so, the keyboard won't open...just won't appear at all. I have tried a 3rd party keyboard as well...same results.
Has anyone else seen this behavior???

Yes I believe it's a known issue. I experienced the same thing.
I know this isn't a fix but just wanted to note that I do not see this happening with Swiftkey. Just saw it was stock keyboard. So you could try a 3rd party keyboard until a fix is pushed out.

As I mentioned, I have tried a 3rd party keyboard (and it happens to be swiftkey)...I have seen it happen at least once since it was installed.

I've had this same experience and it's super annoying! I have to reboot my phone to be able to update my Insta sometimes!! I'm not technical so I don't know what else to do.
Locking and unlocking your phone a few times quickly (power button) will correct the issue.

Same issue here. Haven't found out, what triggers the problem, but it's definitely not happened with (HTC Stock) Android 4.4.
I solve the problem by:
-> beforehand: BE CAREFUL: This means deleting all your settings for the HTC keyboard!! I think also memorized/stored words and stuff. It means back to stock for the keyboard.
I open Settings - Apps - All Apps - HTC Sense Input and delete all data. Since my only settings for the keyboard are disabling any type of Autocorrect and spell check, these are set again very quickly.
Why I do this? Because after a restart I get this problem again in about a day, and this solution seems to last a bit longer.
I hope, HTC knows about the problem. I wouldn't have updated, if the update functionality could be disabled (not because I was able to foresee the keyboard problem, but because Android 4 was kinda perfect).

I've seen the solutions offered on forums, everything from resetting the phone to toggling the power button to simply pretending you were typing (where the keyboard would appear one key at a time); one interesting one was to clear the data on the "Touch Input" app, which I did not have on my M8, so I cleared the data on a random program - I chose the first one that had data, the "Blink Feed" program (which I haven't set up or used yet), and the keyboard began appearing again.
So the solution may be to simply 'clear data' - on any program, but perhaps Blink Feed in particular.
I also saw that people upgraded to the Lollipop operating system and began to experience the problem, but rather than dealing with that, the clear data method is easier and quicker, until HTC fixes the problem and offers a Lollipop patch.

Anybody lag on keyboard

Hi everybody,
I've got a 16Gig nexus 5x which I recently purchased, and everything works fine but I have a very silly problem, but definitely critical to me.
I just have a problem with the backspace button of the keyboard which sometimes it seems very laggy. I mean when I write something and want to clean it with the backspace button and push it bunch of times it works with lag.
I tested all other buttons on keyboard and also tested a bunch of other keyboards but the problem is still existing.
Can anybody please help me with this issue? It can be a harware problem? I mean tauch problem?
I will really appreciate if anyone just gives me a hand with this....

I've the same problem as you. My keyboard would lag sometimes especially on the far right side of the screen. It would lag for a sec or two and goes back to normal.
Anyone else having the same problem??
Thank you buddy,
So you think It is software or hardware problem?
I've just checked my keyboard in both portrait and landscape and all the buttons respond very well. Maybe it's the rom your on? If your on stock I would say it might be your phone. Another thing I found after running a quick google search is that it seems most people complain about this while the phone is charging. If so then your not the only one but I've never noticed this myself.

No problems here.
Try clearing keyboard cache and data.
I'm also having the same problem. I'm on stock. Tried clearing keyboard cache. Replaced the keyboard with third party one. Still no progress.
I'm having the same issue with the back button while clearing text, it's intermittent, doesn't happen all the time. I'm on PureNexus ROM.
I've tried different ROMs and different third party keyboards and still I have the issue. Now I have pure stock ROM... It's so annoying to me. I really want to look for reason and solution..
Same thing here. Its most noticeable when using backspace.
Go into developer mode and force GPU rendering. That should solve your problem.
I did, but still have the issue... Nothing happened...the same lag is still on going...

Thank you buddy,
Would you please tell us about the process? How can we fix it?
Thanks a million for it :good:
MHC19J is the latest stock android build for the nexus 5X. After the March security update (build number MMB29V) a further update was released incorporating a few other changes with the build number MHC19J.
The MHC19J build has been widely reported to help with the 5X in several areas such as performance and memory usage for a lot of (but not all) people.
You can either wait for your phone to receive the update which is rolling out slowly, or flash it manually by downloading the factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - I chose to download and flash the whole image which wipes all your data etc but does give you a nice fresh install. Just make sure you back everything up first.

But I checked I am on the same build MHC19j. But I got it through OTA. I give it a try with fresh image install and I hope the problem would fix on it.

Sorry to hear the update hasn't helped you. It vastly improved (but did not eliminate) by keyboard falling behind while I was typing then suddenly catching up on the missed words I had typed.
I'm on MHC19J and I still have that Keyboard lag. Especially when pressing 'Backspace'. Tried many Customs roms. Custom kernels. Hasn't solved my problem yet.
I upgraded from a G2 to N5X. And i'm regretting the decision i made. Not only G2 didn't had any problems with touchscreen. It didn't even had touchscreen lag like on N5X. Whenever i'm typing it feels like keyboard is catching up to me after few milisecs which is frustrating to say the least.
How is it possible that some people have this problem the others not?

Vibration problem

Good Afternoon,
I have noticed a problem with my Zuk Z2 and I want to ask if anyone else is facing it.
Every now and then, especially when typing with keyboards, the vibration completely disappear from the phone (vibrate on touch, vibration when unlocking, ecc. ecc.) and then after some times, after locking and unlocking the screen few times, the vibration returns to work properly.
This is not due to any rom because I experienced this problem with almost all the custom roms posted on XDA, also on ZUI official builds this problem is present.
Is anybody else facing this problem?

As far as I know there is an apparent problem with gboard on all z2 plus devices. Maybe that's what is causing this problem [emoji848]

Thank you for this tip!
Do you have this problem? Which keyboard are you using?
I have tried a different keyboard but unfortunately the problem still persists
TBH I really don't have the phone. I just read it somewhere on the zukfans forum. So I suggest that you post there or wait for someone else !
Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk
I have tried to gather information about this error but apparently nobody knows anything.
I have tried multiple keyboards without success, I have tried to install the keyboards as system apps but also in this case the problem persists.
I have even tried to reinstall old and new ZUI chinese builds (1.9.063, 3.1.117 up to the latest 3.5.261) via QFIL, hoping that a deep factory reset would have solve it but every attempt was unsuccessful.
Probably this is an hardware problem and I don't know if can be fixed.
If anybody has any idea, feel free to suggest.
I have this problem too
All I can confirm that this isn't due to the rom or kernel (RR 5.8.4 + Darkmoon 4.001)
because the exact same combo never had this bug before. After a clean wipe, and subsequent restoration from TWRP backup & installation of updated GApps, this bug has infected my phone. Also, what I've noticed is that this bug only happens when we're typing, not at random (for example, when it is locked or viewing media or playing music or scrolling feed)
Also, apparently from the same time, the phone tends to heat up lot and drain it's battery much more quickly.
That's all I observed, let me know if that helped anyone
It might be a problem with any of the system level google processes on the phone as far as I can guess.

Erratic ram management in Android 10

Hey guys, I have updated to Android 10 from quite a sometime now(was a beta tester) and was noticing that device practically become usable after a few days of usage. Keyboard stops popping up, apps get killed in background and so on..
This issue gets fixed by a restart though. Has anyone else noticed something similar?
I am also facing issues after Android 10 update. Please let me know if you find permanent fix or solution.
Yes, same here. I reverted back to Pie. I thought I was the only one!
Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Nope, you are not alone :crying:
i can confirm the exact same issue since OTA update to Android 10 on S9 (DBT). currently with second minor Update to DTAD build problem still there. Tried different things to work around but yet nothing helped. i assume it has something to do with memory leak on swap partition. memoryinfo & swapcheck app always show 0 byte free swap memory which cannot be freed again when this occurs. As stated before, only reset phone helps, but after 24h its the same. struggling with this since the first Q Update Version. Any suggestions highly appreciated.

Auto-restart every morning
I didn't find any issue, and I didn't factory reset my device after installing the update. My phone runs quite smoothly, no issues whatsoever.
The only minor bug is that the transition animation of the clock from the lock screen to the always on display is laggy, and sometimes the instructions like "hold your phone more upright" get stuck on the always on display. I hope this will get fixed in the next update.
@icoolguy1995
any news on this issue? Perhaps it's any app or launcher or tool some of us use in common, since it seems not everyone is affected. i have to admit, that i have really a ton of apps on my device and freqently use it. But I already had the same conditions on Pie and there never run in this lag problem,so....

Well I am still researching about this issue. I reported this issue couple of times to Samsung during beta testing; they said, they are unable to reproduce this issue neither they are able to see it on logs which I have sent. For me, the issue starts to appear after 91 hours of usage without a restart. Weirdly, using any keyboard other than Samsung Keyboard seems to help somewhat. I tried using Gboard and the issue somewhat mitigated but still annoying enough.

No effect of reflashing. Same issue popup up after 4-5 days. I wonder if this is more like a hardware related issue then software?
No, i don't think so.
Got a new update, it made issue worse. Now, instead of 90 hours free of system killing spree I am getting 70 around-ish hours with good ram management. So my workaround for this is now to set auto restart in 3 days interval.
