Hello all, I just bought my mytouch 4g. I was trying to go through the setup. and when i got to email input. I tried typing but nothing was showing up. so I continued w/out registering anything tried to open a text and start typing. nothing was coming up but the phone was vibrating and the letters were popping up when i clicked on the the kb it just wasn't displaying what i typed...anything anyone?
Factory reset the phone. If that doesnt fix it - you need to exchange it.
thanks. I let it charge over night and it still didn't work. I took the battery out and tried it again and it is working now. weird...but thank you!
Try this, go to any text field. Long press and change the input method to regular and then change it back to swype. Worked every time on my old phone

Hi - got a new HTC Sensation yesterday
I've got some really weird behaviour going on.
From time to time the phone won't react to the soft keyboard.. For example
I try and type in a query into google, and whilst the soft keyboard responds to key presses (vibration feedback, predicts words etc. in the dictionary) nothing appears in the search bar! All keys don't work, in all keyboard modes (querty, phonepad etc.). This seems to happen intermittantly but I can't figure out the reason why.
It happens in all programs that will accept text from the keyboard (mail, internet, market, SMS etc.). Phone always works.
I tried a different keyboard (touchpal) and I get the same intermittant behaviour. I tried various settings within the touch input settings and it still happens from time to time.
Any ideas / common fault? I tried search but no joy. Seems weird but it must be a software thing?
Hope someone can help!
i've seen this behavior before. happened when i was using swiftkey X all i did was reboot the phone and it fixed the issue. did you try that ?
When you say reboot is that something more involved than turning it off / turning it on again? I've done that.
I've tried installing (and uninstalling) a few different 3rd party keyboards but I keep getting the same behaviour.
It's very intermittent (sometimes it goes away after a few minutes, or by locking and unlcoking the phone a few times) and very annoying!
Thanks

Quite often you actually have to tap input box first before typing. Give it a go.

Tried everything in terms of getting the input field to accept the text - its definitely 'faulty' behaviour.
If a factory reset doesn't work, then I guess the phone is faulty?
Doesn't look like hw problem to.me, more like sw if touches are still registered but nothing appears in the input screen. Try different ROM.
Oh, its new and probably not s-offed. Just return for a new unit.
Edit. I assumed you have already done factory reset. Ok, do a factory reset, I'm sure it'll fix the problem. If not, get replacement.

I've got a weird issue. I'm running the stock T-Mobile ROM with the only real modification being Swype as my keyboard. Sometimes it seems the phone will get very warm and stop responding. I can still open the home screen, go through apps, etc, but Internet/Data will fail to work. I can access the dialer, but it will refuse to dial. When I press a text box for the keyboard to come up to type, nothing registers within the box as I type. Using the home screen widget to turn on and off wireless and GPS, those buttons stop responding as well.
Has this happened to anyone? I'm close to performing a factory reset to hopefully rid this issue. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, but it has happened about half a dozen times within the past 2 weeks now.

Best bet is to factory reset which, of course, will dump all your apps, settings, etc etc... An even better bet is to root and install a custom ROM; but that is your call.
Another option is to get a task manager / battery monitor and see if a specific app is causing your phone to act up. Look for things like most time on or most CPU usage or most battery consuming, depending on what app you use.
Agreed. Try a factory reset, or send it to HTC.

I'm having trouble typing on my LG phone. Whenever I hit a key, it registers the key press, but the letters don't appear on screen. I have to keep closing and restarting my apps to get it to type. I did a complete factory reset and it still does it. It runs Gingerbread 2.3.6 This is a replacement phone because my last one broke and it's been doing this ever since I got it no matter which keyboard I use and it does it in any app that requires typing. I also tried clearing the data and cache. Can anyone help me with this?

Have you tried TouchPal X with QWERTZ or other style of keyboard??
It happens with any keyboard that I have, stock or third party.
Must be a hardware portion problem

With the last update to Android 5.0.2 I've the same problem.
On my phone the keyboard crash at least once a day, and I can't type anything, no message, website url or anything other. The only way for me is restart the phone to get back the keyboard working. It's really annoying. I'm looking the way to revert back to 4.4.2 stock but it's seams little difficult!
