I restarted my Note 10+ and now it is not showing the keyboard for me to type in my pin. There's no option (afaik) to reboot once again. Anyone experienced similar issue? How to resolve this? Thanks in advance everyone
UPDATE: Unlocked phone from Samsung website but if anyone has a different solution, it would be nice to share for reference of other users.
Did it randomly disappear or have you rooted and maybe removed the keyboard?
Maybe try installing SwiftKey see if that helps. (it's always the first thing I do as I am not a fan of the Samsung keyboard.
What pin code, for sim or phone? If for phone after reboot I need to swipe down for the keyboard to appear. Hold volume down and power button simultaneously to restart.

Sometimes this has happened to me and I was wondering on how to fix it and if anyone else has had this issue. Recently when I am in an app and I try to use my Hard keyboard if I press any of these keys it launches an app
(e - email
l - calender
p - don't recall.
g - gmail)
Anyone else see this ever. Usually I just use the onscreen keyboard when this happens and later it works again. This happened to me in the facebook app and also in dolphin browser.

Check Applications --> Quick Launch and see if you have any keys assigned to those apps.
It's my quick launch I think my search key was acting like it was pressed even though it wasn't. Thank you. Most have been stuck. Thank you.
It happens when you press the app key once by accident on the top left of the keyboard. Press it again and it turns off the shortcuts.
The app key? Which one is that? This happens to me a lot and I just mash on the keyboard until it goes away. I also am having problems with the keyboard not working at all. Sometimes I open the phone up and the whole keyboard stops working and I have to reboot the phone.
Also once I was on Dolphin browser and I was logging into Google plus and my numbers were acting funny. I could not press the ALT button to activate the numbers I had to hold the ALT then press the numbers. I thought that was weird.

Do you know any way to disable Quick Launch? Or maybe disabling all the pre-assigned things? --Do Not Want--
Thanks

Long press on the shortcut and it should give you an option to clear it.

The default shortcuts are the search button plus a letter. It happened to me once, and after pushing the search button on the top right of my keyboard a few times, everything started working fine again. Hope that helps.

Keyboard not working...at all
Hey all
CM11, official with apps installed the Captivate Glide physical keyboard is hit or miss. Since the physical keyboard is the WHOLE REASON to try to modify this older phone, its functionality is important. Physical keyboard ALT commands (#'s etc) do not work in any application. The letter keys works...sometimes. I have used default keyboard settings and have no idea whehter there is a fix on the main CM11 thread.
Many thansk!:good:
Alt is a non stick key

Well the thing is alt in cm11 is not a sticky key but its non stick . What i mean by that is that if you wanna type '1'. Keep 'ALT' pressed and hit the number '1' in blue on the keyboard. the alt key dosent seem to stick for some reason.
this is actually cause of the google ime treating our physical qwerty as a desktop keyboard i think where alt is also non stick.

"Alt" doesn't work at all -- even if held during typing. I will keep searching for keyboard fixes I guess. Since the keyboard is 100% of the reason to use the Captivate Glide, it's utility is a major issue. Many thanks for your reply!

Hi Everybody, I got a few questions and I hope you guys can help me.
I got a galaxy tab 3 7.0 and the tab got some issues
First, it doesn't have a keyboard, sounds awkward but it doesnt have any kind of keyboard, when you turn on the tablet, appears the "wizard" asking your lenguage etc... but when it asks you for something you have to type, there are no keyboards avaliable, not even the "voice" thing...
2nd, if you try to skip every step from the "wizard" it stop working, and obviously warns you... and the only choice you have is to "stop" the process, then it starts over and over again...
¿How can I fix this?
I hope you know how to fix this, please!... thank you very much guys!
Have a good day!
I assume the tablet is not new? First let's reset the tablet and see if that resolves the issue.
Turn tablet off.
Press and hold the volume up and power buttons,
when logo appears release power button and hold volume up button in.
This should get you into recovery.
Using the volume down button highlight wipe data/factory reset.
Press volume up and accept to reset your device.
If this does not solve the issue then post back here and we can try something else
Hi all, my Nexus has an issue with the rotation of the screen. I've done some googling and downloaded the check my android app. The sensors missing are 1, 3 and 5. I have tried the following:
1. Factory reset the device
2. Attempted the pressure press on the 'n' and 's'
3. Opened the tablet and tried the tape and cardboard fix
4. Reseated the cable that I understand controls the orientation
I've done extensive research on the problem but no luck.
None of these options worked. I have contacted Asus but I'm pretty sure my warranty is up. How can I fix this please?
Hi,
Temporary solution for me: reboot in safe mode and test if orientation sensor works. If it does, reboot again in normal mode and you'll be fine ... But only for some time, as in a day or two rotation failed again.
To boot into safe mode, long press power button until power off message appears on screen, then long press button on screen until boot to safe mode button appears.
Hope it helps!
My n7 does that as well,
Truthfully All I do to fix it is (yes restart but that is annoying), just rotate it to where you want it, and give it a firm, but soft tap along the side of the device.
I found it wakes up the sensors and allows them to operate again
Hope this helps
Hi. It's a fairly common issue with our Nexus7.
My rotation sometimes get stuck also, so i installed an app called "Adaptive Rotation Lock" and problem solved.
So I've tried the safe mode, no good. I also tried the soft tap, no good. Even using adaptive rotation lock does not work. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. l will have to call ASUS as the email support was complete ****. Thanks for the help all the same.
Assuming you do not have the rotation lock setting enabled I think I have a solution for you.
I had this same issue and I literally tried for 3 months trying to fix it. I finally found some obscure website with a fix. It involved opening up your tablet and basically "securing" one of the cables. After I did that I have not had a rotation problem anymore.
http://blog.daum.net/enue81/2
I seen that in my travels and tried to implement the same fixes, as it is in Chinese or something similar I tried to interpret what he did.
I used black electrical tape to secure the cable ends, then used a similar tape to secure the cable down, unfortunately that didn't work but there's every chance I did it wrong.
Can you please explain what you used?
I've also tried following these two youtube videos:
I didn't use anything. I just basically "pushed" the cables in more even though they did not appear to be loose or anything. It definitely did the trick. YMMV though.
Hope someone can help, I've searched but couldn't find the answer.
I have a really annoying problem in that if I lock my phone then unlock it, if i open an already open app, the bottom key bar (which contains the back key, home key and open apps key) is unresponsive apart from the home button. If I'm in messaging, the keyboard will be as well. If I press the back button for example, it shows it being pressed but does nothing. Sometimes the Google search thing pops up when you hold the home button. To remedy the only way is to press home then open again without locking the screen. Any ideas?
Ya samething happens to my phone also but not always. Wait buddy you will get more bugs like this its sony.
RichRoberts44, what is your FW? Do you have root? Did U unlock bootloader? More info is needed to even try to find a solution
This happens to me also from time to time and I don't even use the key bar, I use gestures with a 3rd party app. When this happens only home gesture works. It does happen rarely though.
The same problem began on my phone two weeks ago. Over the last two weeks, it increased. I had to restart my phone all the time. Besides the two issues you describe, I had two additional issues:
The clock on the lock screen didn't always appear when I managed to turn on the phone.
When I put the phone to sleep, I often couldn't turn it back on for several minutes.
Over the two weeks, all the problems occurred still more often. At the end, it was so annoying, that I backed up all my stuff and did a factory reset and recovered the backup. Now it is working perfectly again.
I run 14.4.A.0.157
are y0u r00ted 0r what?h0w ab0ut the running apps?is it t00 many?

So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.
It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?
Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.
All help is appreciated.
Same
[The exact same thing just happened to me someone please help
Fixed!
The way I had fixed this is by holding down the power button, both up and down sound buttons, and the home button until it restarted. When the device turned back on it gave the option to turn the setting off. Hope it helped!

how to turn off universal switch
hit home button 3 times
Thanks alot
It worked buddy
It doesn't give me the option to turn it off
Hi,
I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.
These are findings so far:
-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.
-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.
-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"
-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".
-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.
-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.
-> Took me half a day to sort this out.
The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.
Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.
You can also push the home button three times and it should turn it off.
thank u ur the best
Ok, so i have exactly the same problem except my home button doesn't work
Anyone one know how to sort this without having to take it in to a store?
I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!
great fix
