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.

try to clear data in app settings, that work for me :/ 4 days no problems

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'm having trouble with my HTC one M8

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

Netflix tiny screen EVERYTIME

Like several others I had Netflix playing last month and had it switch to a tiny screen in the upper left corner. Simply rebooting the box took care of it and I think it happened one or 2 more times then went away completely.
2 days ago it appeared again,cthen again and again. I needed to exit Netflix to fix it each time. Remembered someone said disabling autoplay worked so I did that but it didn't work. EVERYTIME you play a title the next title displays as a tiny screen. Clearing data and rebooting doesn't fix it even temporarily. It happens on both aftvs. They run preroot 51.1.4.0 and have been for awhile.
Does anyone else suddenly have this issue? Has anyone got a fix? Its a weird one--my best guess is an orientation glitch where it thinks its on a device with a much smaller screen like a phone.
Edit--not a valid theory. What's happening is at the end of an episode (credits rolling) Netflix will minimize the show to the upper left. That's where the glitch occurs. It just keeps playing video in that screen. If you stop it before that screen appears the video plays fine. We pay for this. I think we should have a little room to make tiny modifications (like disabling the tiny screen view) That would be useful instead needing to wait for bug fixes.

Yep. Two chats and three phone calls later, Amazon is supposed to deliver another Fire TV tomorrow. But then, I was seeing other oddities as well (blue screen, skipping, not responding to remotes, ...).

Thanks! That might not be an option for me (well it is but I risk getting one without rootablefirmware) Mine is stable otherwise. I have to say though I'm a bit freaked out over what I'm hearing--between this forum and another site, I count 4 people in 24 hours complaining their aftv won't power on. My newest one is less than 2 months old. I'm hoping that issue is related to newer firmware and I don't have a ticking time bomb.

You're rooted right? I assume you have CWM installed. Here is my suggestion. Completely rid your FTV of Netflix. Clear cache/data from the app, then uninstall it. Reboot to CWM and clear both cache and dalvik, then reboot. Install Netflix and see if that helps. As for the ticking timebomb, I fear the same thing. Mine is running near perfect and I would absolutely hate to start from scratch again.

Thanks. I try your suggestion when I can and report back here.
I'm really hoping its combo of defective boxes and new firmware causing those aftvs to die. I plan on installing android whenever there's a stable release. Had enough of fire is and the drama. Running a lollipop ROM on 2012 KFHD with overclocked kernel and its just night and day--fast, responsive LOADED with features and minimal bugs.

In my experience you can't rely on clearing the app data alone. Sometimes things persist in the system cache/Dalvik. It looks like progress is coming along on CM12. That would be awesome to have!

Are there any indications why? Optimistically, it's just the wall wart. More than one decent device has been forced to wear the bag of shame for the lack of a good power supply.

UPDATE--This suggestion above worked! I wiped Dalvik cache and the tiny screen went away. I do this fairly regular on my phone with TWRP. Don't know why it never occurred to me here. Probably smart to do this every once in awhile if you have CWM, at the very least it can't hurt. Thanks again!

Update for Verizon

I just got prompted for 12a (VS98612A). My update was unsuccessful because I'm rooted.
Apparently there are many updates (over 450 MB).
Here is the only link I could find.
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/09/tou...g-out-a-huge-system-update-that-could-fix-it/

I got the update and seems to have wrecked Google Hangout notifications. Was getting them just fine until after the update.
1) checked notifications were turned on .. they were.
2) messages are coming in only after I check.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts - no change.
4) wiped cache and reset defaults.

Did it help touch screen issues (if you were having them)?

I'm curious about touch screen issues as well. I did not realize how much it bothered me till I used a samsung phone the other day and not a single miss. It was bliss!

This

I've got sync issues as well after the update. Not happy about this at all. When the lollipop update came on the g3 the same thing occured. Had to disable ipv6 on the phone or get it working properly on a router.
I have not tried a reset yet.

Holy cow, I was able to scroll through Facebook without clicking on a story every time I scrolled and liking stupid memes! Using my finger to move the cursor when selecting a word is so much easier now too.

Do we have confirmed fixes for the touchscreen? Or is it just placebo effect right now. I'd love to hear some honest feedback. I'm currently rooted and running xposed but if reverting to stock and taking 12a fixes touchscreen issues it would be worth it for me [as long as root for 12a will be possible ]

For me it's definitely not placebo. Knock on is working great. No problems scrolling now. I got used to it before but now it seems like a new phone. I was getting jealous of my wife's s5 but not any more.

Looks like just the Google acct isn't syncing, still getting notifications via Facebook. A lot of accounts disappeared in the settings -> accounts menu (Facebook , Microsoft)
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

So after a few hours on this update I can tell you that I didn't notice ANY touchscreen misses at all. Also less lag with opening and transferring of big apps. Even tapping the google search bar worked immediately without extra taps or lag. So as much as I like root, it's crazy to figure out what an actual working phone feels like again. Maybe someone will root 12a. Hopefully.
Edit: and no missing account anything on my particular device either.

So if we rooted 11A, do we have to kdz to get the update?

Not yet. That is my next step. Have to wait until Monday because I'm running GOOD Work and will need a new pin after the wipe. I also removed and re-signed in to my Google account. Right now notifications with Hangouts are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't, sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes.
As for the touch screen issues. I have noticed a major improvement. Can scroll through FB without clicking a picture or a link unexpectedly. Also, better hits when I'm typing a character using the edge of the screen, letters, numbers, and hitting the send button. Registers every time now. Also, noticed that when connected to bluetooth in the car, the radio displays song information again.
So there are definitely a few improvements I've noticed.

Camera was also updated. There is an actual "slo-mo" button now. It seems like an update with some meat to it.

You could try the super user unroot option and update, probably have to wait for a confirmation to root this version.

Can someone pull the camera apk and upload it, maybe us on 11a can utilize the update.

This update seems to have wrecked all my notifications actually..Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Seems like its only Google applications..

I can definitely say the phone is much smoother than it was before. No more missed letters while typing, and mistaps whole scrolling. Sucks it took so long to get this update, but the phone is working like it should have from day 1.

Did you remove your Google account and set it back up again?
I noticed after the update I wasn't getting notifications when an email arrived. Disconnecting and reconnecting my Google account fixed that.
Otherwise I feel your pain. Hangouts notifications are still hit or miss.

Pixel Launcher missing news and cards

Over the last several weeks (possibly since the last update), my Launcher feeds aren't consistently displaying. I just get a blank Google screen when I swipe left.
If I open the Google app, then the feeds show up. Refreshing the screen isn't correcting the issue, and I confirmed my settings are all turned on.

Happening to me also.
Deleted data/cache fixes it temporarily

Same here, I just reboot and it works for a while

Same here, usually if I clear cash and stop app then go back and swipe everything pops back up. Weird, thought it was just me.

I had this same issue myself and I actually used the google help and after trying everything I ended up going to settings then apps go to Google app or you can go to play store and google app then disable and uninstall updates then reinstall and reboot after doing it and it has seemed to completely fix the problem for me this is going on the third day it has not randomly disappeared on me. I hope it helps guys.

Reporting back that ruling back Google and updating it again has fixed it so far. Hopefully it holds

Same here. Google is turning into a ****ing joke. This is the 4th update this month that ****s something up for me.
The security patch has literally ruined Bluetooth usage for me. Then they update Chrome and I can no longer cast embedded videos from Chrome. Then I get the Google update and it screws up the feed. Now I get the music update and it kills the equalizer almost all the goddamned time.
What a ****ing joke.

After 24 hours, it failed again ?

Same here. Best bet probably is going to be reverting back to the previous apk and turning off updates until they fix it. It's what I had to do for Google Play Music.

This is a known issue with the Google App. Can only assume it will eventually be fixed in an update.

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.

I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!

I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
