Its just a slight anoyance really, but if i write an SMS with the qwerty keyboard, and hit "Send", and then close the keyboard, i cant go back to the homescreen, if i press the home-button or the back button (to get to the home screen), the phone just freezes. The solution is to expand the keyboard, and close it again.
Hard reset did not fix it
I also encountered the same prob..Anyone have any idea on this ?

Hi everyone, i have some problems messaging with SMS stock app.
Often, when write something, if I click on the option button (for accessing smiles), the conversation go back to the first message, and the stock keyboard crash (only in landscape mode).
Additionally, when I press backspace, it came up with 'delete by selection' function...
Try Hard Reset, but without results...
It's by the way... a bug?
Or it's my Device?
Thanks a lot.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
i can't reproduce it on my device.
what do you mean by option button? it's on keyboard or you mean HW menu button?
yup, it's the HW button (to the left of home button).
This issues appear usually after I unlock the screen or after other operation.
Example:
Device screend locked -----> unlock -----> answer message ---> issues in landscape mode.
Example 2:
Playing with some game------->answer message (or write new one)---->issues in landscape
Not noticed any issues and had the phone for over a month but I don't use the phone in landscape mode ever so must be a landscape problem.

is it software-related o HW-related?
What do you think?

and does it happen right after pressing menu key? or after selecting smiley to insert?
when i press menu key, keyboard is closed right away and menu is opened.
when pressing the button or when pressing the 'hide qwerty' button...
Not every time... like..
5 times over 10 tries.
I have just tried this and the first time I started a reply and typed some words then presses the option button then more then smileys I pressed back and the kb had gone and it took me to the first msg in my conversation. Have tried it several times since but could not replicate it.
I don't use the stock sms app, I use handcent sms and have no issues
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
you hit the spot, is that problem!
Is it a bug? Hope that it will fix soon...
Handcent is good like stock app?
does changing another ruu help?
I have this problem! I find if I press backspace too many times while in landscape mode, say after I mess up a word typing that it won't autocorrect, it takes me to this delete message menu. Going to install a better messaging app.
RUU= Rom Upgrade Utility?

The same problem here, then i believe that is a problem with gingerbread+stock sms app.
Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks
I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?
I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.
Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.
Whenever I press the home button from any app, I get taken to the home screen like normal, but the keyboard always pops up. I'm using the stock launcher and I've tried a few keyboards including the stock google keyboard. It seems to always focus on the search bar at the top of the home screen on going home which brings the keyboard up. Pressing home should just take me home without opening the keyboard. Any ideas?

enable "show touches" in developer options. My guess is that there could be a touchscreen issue where it is registering touches at the search bar.

Nope, no touches on the search bar.
Edit: If I press home twice, the keyboard disappears.
Edit2: If I back out of an app instead of using the home button, I don't see the keyboard pop up.
Anyone have an issue where the Samsung keyboard will stop responding to SwiftFlow, also known as "swiping"?
For example, sometimes when I want to input text, the Samsung keyboard appears, but instead of being able to swipe through letters, It will only detect "tapping" or the first letter I touch.
The simple fix is to hit the "back" button on the phone which will close the keyboard, then bring the keyboard back and SwiftFlow/Swyping will work again. The problem is I seem to be running into this a few times a day during heavy use, so it's obviously annoying when it happens.
Both on stock 4.2.1 and OmniROM 5.1.1 I got a problem with keyboard dock. Sometimes, when I press any keyboard button, then it will go to Settings screen first.
For example, after unlocking lock screen, I press the Down button, then it will go to Settings screen, after that, I just can use keyboard normally without go to Settings screen.
Is this a known issue or it's normal? Thanks for any help.
