[Q] keyboard doesn't show up - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
There is a small problem with virtual keyboard - sometimes there is just no way to activate it. When trying to write in any text field, office app or whatever, cursor starts blinking but keyboard doesn't show up. I have to reboot the device to get it back working.
I have noticed that this might be happening only after TF has rebooted while sleeping.
What could be causing it and how to get that keyboard to pop up without rebooting?

So another reboot while in sleep this morning and again keyboard is not working. Tried to attach dock and I could write with it. Deattached dock and virtual keyboard showed up again.. Really confusing..
It's interesting that after factory reset and cold boot random reboots are not gone, but TF doesn't get stuck while booting. Could it be somehow related?
Any ideas on how to fix this will be appreciated,
Thank you.

[Q] My own keyboard problem

I got my Transformer yesterday and so far I have been happy. I got the keyboard today and when I went to connect it, that's when my issues started. The mouse cursor appears on the screen, the status bar shows the keyboard is attached, and the battery shows that it's charging.
However, the keys and trackpad do not work. I have noticed that if I rapidly press keys while inserting the tablet, I can hear clicks for about 5 seconds, but then it stops. What's strange is I can mount external storage via USB.
I have not rooted my tablet, and I have tried restoring to stock settings, and rerun the update. Not sure what else to do. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem

Maybe you can try the newest FW-V8.2.3.13 with Dock 0209 for solving this problem.

[Resolved] [Q] Sometimes Activity doesn't start and I get blank screen

So I have GingerDX installed with no issues except this one. I tried wiping and fresh install but it is still an issue for me.
It mostly happens with the keyboard, everytime I bring it up, I get the background and empty screen. When I press back, keyboard goes away and everything goes back to normal. It happens with default keyboard and swype which is the keyboard I want to use.
I have seen it occur at other times occasionally though. Anybody got any ideas? This basically makes the phone unusable if I can't type.
Oh and if I rotate the screen, sometimes, it causes the keyboard to appear with squeezed input box and I can use the phone but other times, this does not work.

Phone Freezing and Won't Start Properly

Hi all,
I recently tried changing the wallpaper on my phone from a live background to regular image. The background went black and the phone froze.
I removed the battery and restarted the phone but it now often freezes on the LG logo. When it does occasionally start up the touch screen will not respond so I cannot get past my lock pattern. If I press the stand by button at the top of the phone, the screen goes off and cannot be turned on again, but the phone is still running - as I can tell this when connected to the computer.
I don't have my phone rooted and do not know much about that. I was hoping there was a way to fix this without having to lose all of my data or root/mod my phone. Otherwise I would be happy just to have my phone working.
Can anyone please help with this problem or tell me why the touch screen will not respond the times it does start up?
Cheers
UPDATE - I started the phone holding the volume button down and went into the recovery mode. I'm not sure exactly which option I then selected, as I hit the home key a couple of times, but I think it was "Clear cache and recovery" or something similar.
The phone managed to start back up with all my apps and photos, etc. Although I had to go through the startup wizard again and sign into the Market, LG World, etc.
Now I have a problem with quite a few of my apps. Whenever I click on them, they start very briefly and then I get the message "The application had stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and have to force close. This happens with apps such as Adobe Reader, GTA 3 and Viber, so it's not a specific type of app.
I also noticed with the few apps that work, data is missing from some and not others. For example, I still have high scores in one game, but not in another.
Does anyone know what the problem is here or why this recovery is maybe causing this?
Thanks very much
Still haven't fixed this problem if anyone could please help. Most of the apps before the recovery still force close upon starting.
Some of these can be fixed temporarily by moving to phone/SD depending on location, but this only lasts for so long, before I have to move again. Others will open up each time as though it's the first opening of the app, e.g. Do you accept....
Apps downloaded after the recovery seem to work fine.
Any suggestions people?

[Q] TF700 keyboard keys not working (top row)

Hey, i was wondering anyone else was having this issue.
I have the Tf700 with the TF700 dock and everything was working great until recently. All of sudden now some of the top row of keys do not work/dont do anything when i press them. My: wifi switch key,bluetooth key, turn off touchpad key, and the screen brightness keys do not work. All the other keys on the keyboard work. Ive only had this tablet and keyboard for 3 weeks. Ive rooted and unlocked and its been working perfectly fine until this morning i went to turn off my touchpad, since it gets in the way of typing sometimes and it wouldnt turn off when i used to the Touchpad off key. Is there anything that i can do to fix this issue?
Try rebooting your tablet. Happened to me once, too. A reboot fixed it.

i tried that and it didnt work. I finally figured out what was the problem. I accidently turned off com.asus.keyboard process when i was editting my start up programs and disabling certain ones. So once i reenabled it, it worked fine
Thanks for your help though

[HELP] Phone recognises touches but screen unresponsive (Works in safe mode)

Moto X Style not rooted
I have show touches on so I can see that the screen recognises the input but the phone won't correspond with what I'm telling it to do. Even when using a mouse via USB debugging.
Every time upon restart, it works properly for a minute or so, then the navbar & statusbar dissapear, screen fades to black and locks. When I press the power button, it shows the lock screen but won't let me press anything. Apart from the Power Off pop up when it appears. I also can still interact with the always on display.
If I boot it in safe mode, the issue doesn't occur and I can interact the screen indefinitely.
I've not installed any new apps recently but this just started happening about a day ago.
Any ideas of what's wrong/how to fix it?

If it works in safe mode but doesn't when booted normally, then your issue is caused by something that you installed yourself. Use trial and error to figure out which of your installed apps is causing the issue by uninstalling apps and seeing if this issue still happens, when you uninstall the offending app, it should start working like it is supposed to.
