whenever i go to google and start typing in something to search the moment i get one letter in, the screen changes to the google results screen and i have to click the search box numerous times to get it to work. once i finally do theres a 1sec delay from when i type the letter to when it appears on the screen. anyone have that issue?
I used to. Now I use www.google.com/m and it works fine.

I would often get annoying behavior too. I will have to try out the /m page. Thanks

I have the Infused ROM 1.5.3, and every so often I'll go to type something, and no letters will show up in the text box! The keyboard thinks it's typing, and even the predictions show up sometimes. However, no text is ever typed into the text box. Sometimes restarting my launcher fixes it, but lately I've had to resort to restarting the phone. So frustrating. This happened on Infused 1.5.0 too, but it seemed to go away. Now all the sudden after upgrading to 1.5.3 it's happening a lot. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

this might sound weird but i swear the only problems i have with my phone are when im connected to our microcell. texts failing, keyboard not working, widgets not responding, calls not calling until 7 minutes after i hit "call."
Not sure what causes it or what to do to fix it but I have had the same problem on Refuse 1.6 and 1.7 mainly when using Andchat (irc client) have encountered it less in yaaic but have never experienced it in other areas of typing (messaging, browsers and such)
Sorry not of help but its not just u.
I've had the same problem, with no ROM on my phone at all, rooted stock. However when it happens to me i can just hit back until im at the home screen and then open the text message app up again. It always works when i do this. What keyboard are u using? ive got the "Android 2.3 Keyboard."
i have that keyboard, too. and the samsung and swiftkey. none of them work. what's even more bizarre is that it seems as though when i'm connected to wifi AND the microcell, i can't send texts or make calls and that's when my phone freaks out and the keyboards don't work. i turned off my wifi today and my texts finally sent and i haven't had an issue since.
Yeah had the same problem. All I did was just closed my text and reopened it. Kept doing it until it worked again.

Same problem
I've had the same problem since I got my phone, I've been searching for almost two years on how to fix this problem, usually people don't believe me when I post on this. It seems to get worse the longer I use it and eventually it gets so bad I have to reflash my phone. I'm pretty sure its an app that I use, which would explain why I don't see it at first as I don't backup my apps, just redownload them when I need them. Is there an easy way to get a list of apps from your phone that we could post and cross reference? It doesn't matter which keyboard I'm using. It seems to happen mostly with the default SMS messanger, though it might just be that I use it the most and thats when I notice it, it does happen occasionally with other text fields.
Just as described, the keyboard won't type when I initially open it. The keyboard seems to be working, predictive text works, but nothing appears in the text field. If I wait, type on the keyboard a lot (maybe thats just part of waiting) back out of the keyboard repeatedly or restart the app it seems to fix it temporarily. It doesn't seem to matter which apps are running when it happens.
Any ideas people?
I was constantly having this issue on the GB ROMs I used. In both revenant and infused it would happen. I could recreate it by letting my phone lock while the keyboard was open. It always happened to me in stock messaging and Google Voice because I would pause trying to think of what to type. It became so annoying having to kill the app responsible or sometimes restart my phone that I decided to switch back to JB. I'm on the unofficial CM 10.1 now and haven't had one issue with the stock keyboard or Google Keyboard.
I never did try another keyboard or messaging app. You could try forcing your phone to stay awake longer if you notice the same thing I did. If it's just happening randomly then I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you besides that the jelly beans are delicious; you should give into peer pressure and try one.

I have had this issue with my Infuse also, running CM 10.1 Cyber sgs-IV style ROM. It isn't as bad as some of y'all though, it seems to just hang for a few seconds while I'm typing, then the words will catch up. Only seems to happen when I have between 200-500 messages in a thread, so I was thinking it was a memory issue.. but I'm no developer.
I need some help with my Gmail app on my Xoom.
Yesterday I was watching a Youtube video when my Xoom wouldn't stream any more. I rebooted it and it worked fine except when I try to launch the Youtube or Browser app from Gmail.
I got an email that someone uploaded a video to Youtube and when I click on the video to see it, I should get a pop-up asking if I want to launch it using Youtube or Browser just like it did before my reboot.
Now that never happens, the screen turns grey just like it would launch the pop-up but it never appears. It doesn't block the tablet because if I click on the screen it just goes back to Gmail like I didn't select anything.
Any ideas how can I fix this?
Thanks
No one? Absolutely no ideas what I should try?
I still need some help on this one...so if you've got any ideas please step forward
Having the same issue... and... it seems that clicking on a short cut from anywhere on the xoom produces the greyed out screen. Tried fixing permissions... no luck.
Edit: I found reference to rotating the screen when this happens, which then allows a selection. Fixed my issue.
Okay I am having a consistent problem and am wondering if this is happening for anyone else...
If I Google search the color "black" and go to the Image results, I absolutely cannot tap of the images or the navigation for image pages. When I tap it, nothing happens at all, I cannot change result pages or open up larger images. This happens on Chrome and the stock browser.
I also had this problem before with Youtube, occassionally. Its very, very annoying..
Does this happen when the HOX is plugged in? I had a crappy charger that used to mess with my touch screen.
Although this could be a hardware problem. Try testing it in a multi touch testing app. See if there are any dead zones or something (unlikely, but worth a test)
I tried a testing app on your recommendation and it works perfectly fine there.
On the browser with Google image search, I can tap most of the webpage, such as the search bar, related searches, etc. The links that dont work are the actual images, which I can't load, and the numbers below the images for pages of results. In fact, when I tap the pages for results, the link changes color to indicate that I tapped it, but nothing happens at all.. it just.. does nothing. I found out that this works for any image search on google.
This also happened for me during a Youtube upload, it would not recognize any taps, but after I exited and came back later, the taps registered. Also happened under the settings menu.. I exited and then it worked again.
Which browser?
Is the browser in 'mobile' or 'desktop' mode?
Chrome and the stock browser. Mobile search too
my LG THRILL is doing the exact same thing tonite. WTH?
Not working here either.. Galaxy s2!
Same here, weird.
Anyone got a solution yet?
I would suggest a clean wipe..if rooted make sure to wipe all cache

So when I'm playing a video through the browser it seems that 80% of the time the buffer bar freezes about 3 seconds into what I'm playing. The video continues and I can pause the video but am unable to slide the "orb" to fast forward rewinding and the FF RW buttons do nothing. I don't seem to have this issue when playing Youtube videos however.
My second annoyance would be when on Google s sit while typing in searches the phone sometimes goes crazy and regardless of what letter is typed it fills the search bar with jibberish. The delete button operates poorly but eventually it corrects itself and I can type as normal.
Just wondering if these are specific to me or if others are experiencing these issues as well. I my apologies for the Grammer and punctuation, I typed this rather rapidly on my phone. Thanks.
I have had a similar issue with the google search box. Thought it was a SwiftKey thing though. To get around I switch to stock and then back to SwiftKey and then the gibberish is able to be deleted. Don't know if that helps. i had same issue on my tf201 which is why I thought it was just a SwiftKey thing..
The Google search bar I can get use to but the video slider is becoming increasingly frustrating.
I am sure this is a software thing, but when I use voice dictation in a text message it just continues to listen even after I hit send... so if I start talking to someone else it is dictating my conversation the entire time. Sometimes that is hilarious, but when driving it is a bit annoying. Any way to force it to stop after I hit the send button?
Also, how the heck can I use the voice app to send the message without actually touching the phone? (I know that is off topic, so feel free to ignore or delete this). PM me if you prefer to keep this on topic.
No issues adding your question and I don't use voice dictation so I'm not sure.
Is no one able to add insight on the buffer bar issues in the video player? My searches are returning no results.
I have the same issues, had them on CM10 and Synergy

if you used swiftkey and used the "learn from facebook/twitter/gmail" function, sometimes it messes it up and you can unlearn those things in the swiftkey settings app. or you can switch from auto-correct mode to precise mode. and as for the browser buffer, you can use third party browsers from play store... if that wont work you may want to flash a different rom, custom or stock...
Hi all,
I've got an issue with something appearing at random on my N5 and I have no idea what is causing it or how to make it stop. Occasionally I get a blue bar with an "@" and a number behind it along with an "ok" button below it which appears on my phone at random times. I have to hit the ok button to get it to disappear. I don't know what it is or what it's for. It comes up randomly and with no specific action on my part triggering it. Last time was a few minutes ago not long after I opened the play store. Another time it happened not long after I opened Boat Browser. Other times it will pop up when I'm just navigating menus. I posted a screenshot to show what I mean. Does anyone know what this is?
FYI, I'm running Purity Rom, and using Nova Launcher. Don't know if that's relevant. Thanks
