Screen not recognizing keypresses - Thunderbolt General

Sometimes when I'm responding to a text message, the screen won't recognize when I try to insert a space or hit a letter. Its random when it happens and the only way I can seem to fix it is to delete half the message and start typing it over again. Does anyone else have this problem? Not to mention when I go into the messaging app from the notification bar, the messaging app will sometimes become completely unusable.

System keeps killing keyboard... annoying.

I'm running MIUI but I don't know if this applies to anybody else. The system keeps killing my keyboard app while I'm typing and it is pissing me off... it's only when I'm typing though. I can set the phone down with the keyboard open and nothing happens for five minutes, but about ten seconds of typing and the keyboard will close. Is anybody else getting this problem, or do you know how I might be able to fix it?
Note: it closed on me 12 times while typing this post.

Haven't encountered this problem.

I'm thinking it's another issue than the system killing it now, because it often does it when I have a lot of free memory and it even happens if I set the keyboard process to -17 ooms.

Sidekick unknown error on lockscreen

On the lockscreen, on the second slide down thing there is an ! with unknown beside it. After you unlock the phone you can't find that notification any where!
Already checked the notification bar and went and cleared the ram. Still the same. Does anyone know what it is trying to tell me or how to clear it?
I have factory reset the phone one time and it went away, but then came back in a day.
That's where the date goes. I see "unknown" there occasionally. I assume that this is because the phone hasn't gotten the date from the cell network yet, but still has the time cached internally. For me, it generally goes away after a bit.
The one time it didn't go away fairly quickly was when I had Handcent SMS installed and had configured my phone to use it and it's notifications, generally disabling the stock Messaging app and it's notifications. It stayed "unknown" while I had Handcent installed. When I removed Handcent and turned the stock SMS app back on it went back to showing the date.
I didn't test this rigorously, and have no idea if it's causal or just a coincidence. Has anyone else observed behavior like this?
thanks
I'm sure that it's handcent then, I haven't uninstalled it yet. But I bet that's it.
Thanks for the reply. Contacted handcent support about the bug.
I don't think its a handcent issue. I've had the same problem. The only way I got it to go away was to open the stock messaging app and view my last conversation. Then its off the lock screen. Try that. If it works for you...its an issue with stock software. I've had a fewb problems with the stock app. Wish I could just remove it lol

Found it
It seems if you turn off notifications in the Stock messaging app it gets cranky.
I turned them back on and it shows the time on the bottom lock screen.
I then went back and turned them back off and the time stayed, we'll see how long.
This is beyond annoying.
Screenshot, please?
Happns 2 me too glad 2 know I am not alone...

i think that this is a common thing, whenever i dont check my text msg or randomly click the power button, i would see the "!" at the bottom screen..dont know why
I had this problem too on my Sidekick 4G. I am using Handcent but I don't know if that's the cause for me.
What I did to solve this problem: I went into the stock messaging app, into the menu, where I chose "Browser Message". (This menu option is not always present, but apparently shows up when you get a message from your cell carrier.) There was one message listed, and I deleted it. After that, my lock screen displayed the date again.
When you get mms messages, it goes to the stock messaging app as well, so just go in the stock messaging app and view it in there and it will go away. Or, before your SD card loads, messages will go straight to the stock messaging app. Just view all your threads in there, click each one, and the unknown will go away.

[Q] ICS text messaging problems

So I just updated my Atrix 2 to ICS and I cannot do anything regarding text messaging. I have Pansi, Handcent, and the stock app all installed. If I open either handcent or pansi after a few seconds it says the app isn't responding wait or close. If I open the stock app the loading symbol in the top doesn't go away and it doesn't load. If I open up my contacts and try doing it from there I can type out the text but as soon as I press send nothing happens it just freezes.
Also, every time I hang up after a phone call I get the process not responding message and then my phone is completely frozen.
While updating I was stuck on "upgrading media database" for nearly 3 hours and eventually got fed up and took my battery out and removed my SD and SIM cards. When I turned it back on it worked fine. Everything else works as normal.
Suggestions?
Try a factory data reset if nothing works. I think maybe all the databases did not get a chance to upgrade for you. Or if that still doesn't work, use the procedure to re-ics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32535217

Yeah the factory reset worked. No problems now. Thanks

[Q] Tapping a recent app opens a different program

At random times when I tap the thumbnail for recent app the wrong app will open up. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
I'm running the factory ROM and I'm not rooted. I recently did a factory reset and the problem still occurs.
I don't have a solution, but i have also noticed that happening. At first i thought it was my imagination and that i was just absent mindedly hitting the wrong app.

I can confirm the issue. Fortunately it doesn't occur frequently, but it must definitively due to some bug in the touchwiz.
Well, it does happen quite frequently on my device; like 4-5 times a day. This is somewhat frustrating.
It mainly occurs when I frantically switch between apps, hence at the worst possible times... Any help?
(For referencing, as those keywords did not popup in my googling: app switcher, wrong app)
If you wait 1-2 seconds after hitting the switch task button before selecting a task, the bug does not exhibit itself.
Couldn't find any reference about this problem on Google either.
Would love to see it fixed, it's a PITA!
My solution is to press about half a second before releasing, if you press long enough you get up a menu though so somewhere before the app gets a blue frame around to the menu pops up.
Also, I've noticed that it doesn't accure as frequently if at all when using the pen.. But maybe that's just mine, and I don't really like using the pen for such "browsing" so it's not really a solution.

Weird GoSMS Pro Issue on S3

Hey all....have a weird issue here. I use GoSms as my messaging app. I have added it as a shortcut to the lock screen. When I have a new text come in and I get into the app from my lock screen, the keyboard doesn't want to work. It recognizes I'm typing (buttons press, popups show up) but nothing shows up in the entry field. I need to completely back out of the conversation and get back in again. Then it works fine. It does this regardless of what keyboard I use. The stock messaging app works fine and I don't have this issue. Any suggestions? Thanks!
