Swype Keyboard is having a mind of it's own [Help] - General Topics

I woke up this morning and tried sending a text only to notice my Swype keyboard changed it's dictionary to Spanish. I went into the settings and all of the language options were checked so I unchecked all of them except for English. That didn't work and Swype will still only predict Spanish words. I checked it in the messaging app and browser but got the same results in both. I even rebooted the phone. Has anyone ever heard this before? Does anyone know a fix? I am thinking the only fix will be to delete Swype and reinstall it but I don't even know if I can reinstall it since it came preloaded on the device. Your help is much appreciated.

I lost all of my Input methods!

I don't know what the deal is, I had them this morning, and even after a restore, I don't have any of my Input methods anymore. They all show but when I select one it doesn't apply. I should have:
Block Recognizer
Compact QWERTY
Full QWERTY
Keyboard (it defaults to this every time)
Letter Recognizer
Phone Keyboard
Transcriber
I have recently installed the new Landscape Full Manila update but I had these options even after that.
Anyone know how I can reinstall these options?! I hate that default keyboard!
It seems like they are all there still, like I can see options for them all, etc but it just wont change, also its like the small arrow by the keyboard isn't activated and I cant click it, I can change the default keyboard from small to large, but that's it!
ERRRR, what pisses me off is I backup ALL THE TIME, before every app install even, and when I do a restore, it still doesn't work, WTF good are backups then! Or does Spite Backup just suck and I should be using another?
This worrying about everything from one min to the next with this device is the only bad thing about it.
The only suggestion I have for you is to do a hard reset and restore using the most recent back up file until you find a back up file that works for you. I have used sprite back up many times before but this has never happened to me.
Are you using the stock Fuze ROM?
Yeah I'm using the stock ROM but I bypassed the bloatware and installed TF3D that was just released in the software thread, the full one with landscape mode.
I tried several backups and none worked, strange, not sure what caused this but I did find a work-around, its a small app called SIPChange, it was a shot in the dark but it worked for me, for anyone else with this issue, try it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
This actually even fixed the little arrow issue I have that wasn't letting me select the Input method on the fly, I did notice it loads at every reset tho, I don't care as long as it works!
Thanks guys, I hope this thread will help anyone else with the issue.

[Q] Galaxy S Swype Keyboard changed.. how to get it back

Help! Last night somehow the 'qwerty' swype keyboard changed and the Q and W keys swapped themselves with A and Z keys. Some symbol locations have also changed around a bit.
I have no idea how this happened, my phone is not rooted and i have no apps that would do something like this..
What should I do? really don't want to have to reset the phone if i can avoid it, but I cant use it in its current configuration!
I havn't heard of anyone else having the problem before, and I have done research into changing keyboards/installing new ones but this doesn't appear to be the answer either.
I have tried restarting the phone, looked into the keyboard settings, changing it to and from the swype keyboard, but so far nothing will get it back to normal
Are you sure the language didnt change or something like that?
Hmmm which OS version?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband:i9000DTJP3
Build Number:FROYO.DTJP5
Try clearing the keyboard data.
BTW: you can always register for swype beta and download the latest version.
Oh snap... don't I feel like an idiot.. language had somehow changed itself to french.. the one place I didn't look.. thanks guys!!!

Samsung epic keyboard changed, swype not working

I'm not sure how but my on screen keyboard is still qwerty but a slightly different layout and the swype no longer works.. I tried managing settings of text and applications with no luck.. it happened when I accidentally changed the language. I went and put back to english but the keyboard is still different and swype not working. anyone know how to fix this??
thanks

I have the weirdest bug! Related to my keyboard.

So, simply put, I can't type the letter "e" and "h".
I can type them individually, I can type them if I use an uppercase " E", but if I type e-h (together) they disappear.
It's the oddest thing!
Not a huge deal, but if I need to type a word like beHave, the Eh will disappear, like if replaced by something else. Again, only if lowercase, upper case works.
I've tried changing keyboards. Wiping the cache and data from all keyboards, killing all forms of autocorrection I can find (both the device built in one and the individual keyboards).
And still, that happens.
The thing is, wiping the gboard cache fixed it earlier, but did not the second time. I assumed it was word predictions being synched from Google backup, but with all off, and using a different keyboard, it still happens.
I'm stunned. Does anyone have any idea?
Question. Is this a Chinese origin Honor 8 with English language?
What Is the device firmware and country and what languages have you installed?
US model and using US language (was using Canadian English earlier, but didn't notice any issues).
I've wiped the cache. On everything I could think of that could be related.
I'm not rooted. Waiting for hauwei to put out an update for bug fixes, and then hopefully a better method for rooting comes out, because I'm a bit wary of the current methods.
If you have gboard - google keyboard installed this may be your issue. Both of my US Honor 8 devices do something similar. Uninstall the update for this keyboard and the issue should go away.

I've gone that a try, I've unsintalled it (well, returned it to stock since you can't uninstall/disable it) but it still keeps happening.
I just changed my system language to the country i'm from and reverted back to swiftkey which fixed it.
Tried changing to swiftkey (which I don't wanna use, but tested anyway)
And changed both the system language, and the keyboard language back to Canadian English,
And same thing happens, I'm completely stumped.
I would go ahead and wipe the device, but this stopped for a while and then came back. Meaning that if I do that, there is a chance the beHaviour will occur again.

Download a clean copy of the stock ROM. Maybe the copy you have is corrupt.
Well, I can't really. There is no full ROM for the L14 because Huawei sucks.
Regardless, this only started happening maybe a few weeks ago, and this device hasn't been rooted for a while. (It was on marshmallow, but I'm waiting for bug fixes before I re-root for nougat. C'mon Huawei, 2 years of updates, right? Not feeling there love. Don't think I'll buy another one at this rate.)
Here is a long shot, that you may want to try. There is a small chance that the combination lowercase "eh" has got into your personal dictionary OR in the "learned" words dictionary that Gboard creates automatically. (For example a wrong spelling of my last name had got into the "Learned" words store on my phone. and even when I typed the correct spelling, it would automatically get replaced by the wrong spelling - which puzzled me quite a bit until I deleted it). Go the Language and Input settings, and within that into each of the Keyboard Settings menus (if you have multiple keyboard - Gboard, Huawei Swipe, Swiftkey etc) and clean/delete words from your personal dictionaries or the "Learned words" dictionary (Different keyboard may call this differenty - such as "Learned Words" or "My Words" or "User Dictionary" etc). This may help
Thanks but I suspected that may be it, I checked all the learned words and it's not there.
It's some Huawei bug which apparently other people have had as well.
I'm gonna try wiping at a later date, when I have some time. If the bug comes back I'm just gonna buy a new phone. I'm sick of Huawei not fixing their bugs.

Samsung Keyboard keeps stopping

I often get a popup that says Samsung Keyboard keeps stopping Close app
The only thing that works to get me back to being able to type is to go to my Gboard app and select, for the fiftieth time, the English language keyboard. Sooner or later, though, I get the annoying popup again and can't type anything until I do the Gboard thing.
Looking at some solutions online it seems maybe I need to clear a cache. But the following instructions, which are repeated in various ways in different sites/videos, don't get me anywhere.
settings
Applications
applications manager
Scroll over to ALL
Scroll down to Samsung keyboard
Clear cache
clear data
restart from home screen
Why? Because going to Settings doesn't get me to "Applications" but rather to "Apps" , and when I go there, there is no Samsung keyboard. Just Gboard. I just cleared Gboard's cache, don't know if I should also clear its data - what do I lose, really, when I delete its data?
Thanks for your help!
I have the same issue after I hit the Emoticon Icon. I installed a secondary keyboard and am using that currently.
Hopefully someone has help, it happened to me after a Verizon update on my Galaxy s6!

Which keyboard did you install? Are you enjoying it? Can I assume it stopped the problem?
Thanks!
I don't use the Samsung keyboard but this keeps popping up and I can't type anything. My phone did an update over night last night and now this problem. I'm at my wits end with what to do. Nothing is working and I can't type anything.
"samsung keyboard stopped working"
I had that problem after pressing the emoticon button too. I don't even use samsung keyboard. I did the clearing the cache, forcing stop, clearing the dictionary cache...none of that worked. Finally I reinstalled the google keyboard and the message went away. It was a frustrating few hours of trying different things!

Keyboard keeps stopping (possible fix)
Hi all,
I did this and it seems to be working so far:
Apps->Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard-.>Samsung Keyboard->About Samsung Keyboard (at bottom)->
At this point my phone stated that Samsung Keyboard had an update available. I tapped on that message, and it updated the keyboard.
After that I was able to tap emoticons without a problem. So far, so good. texting works, and all my message apps seem happy.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks very much for this - fixed my Mum's phone which was crippled by this problem and I was concerned I wasn't going to be able to sort it so a big relief this worked.

This updating seems to have worked to fix the problem on my S6 also. Thanks a lot.
But the sequence to get there was slightly different. On my Sprint/Galaxy S6, the sequence was:
Settings>General Management>Language and Input>Virtual Keyboard>Samsung Keyboard>About Samsung Keyboard>Updates
