Hey folks, I'm almost certain this has been covered. Trouble is, it's not the sort of thing that lends itself to searching well. I've tried, but ah well.
I have Swiftkey 3 and Gingerbread Keyboard installed on my A2 in addition to the default and Swype. I had no trouble using non-default keyboards for awhile, but now every time I switch to something other than "Multi-touch keyboard" it lasts only for that instance, then switches back to "Multi-touch keyboard" when I use the keyboard next.
Why is this happening to me?? :crying:
Have you tried clearing the keyboard(s) cache: settings>applications>manage applications(find ALL keyboards and select "clear data") then reboot...

Every time I try to type anything, whatever app I'm using immediately crashes. This happens no matter what keyboard I use (I've tried Samsung Keyboard, ICS Keyboard, and Hacker's Keyboard). Any idea what's going on?
Are you rooted? Are you using a custom rom? Have you tried rebooting? You might want to try a hard reset.
I would say about the same: are you using a custom firmware and then, did you wipe properly?
I had some random and inexplicable issues on my 7", with a custom rom, I had to wipe cache and data a second time, with no tangible reason. It was just totally messed up.
I've noticed the same issue on GT-P5100 Android v4.0.3

Hi Maca, all
My first post on xda, apologies for too much reading.
Maca> I wonder firstly has your issue been fixed, or has this issue re-occurred for you?
I've noticed a similar issue on GT-P5100 Android v4.0.3, (os received via the standard channel), device not rooted.
I've experienced two such occurrences. Each time I have performed a factory data reset, being the only way that I could get things working again. I've been using the Hacker's keyboard as my default keyboard during both of these occurrences. After the first occurrence, the issue re-occured after a week.
My desc of the issue: When a text field is clicked on to enter text input, the application will force close. The text input cursor does not show up, nor does the keyboard. The app goes unresponsive momentarily then you see the force close message. This not only happens in apps, but also occurs for example in the Android Settings -> Security -> Owner information (text field), and anywhere that you would like to type. The device becomes useless at this point.
After the issue occurs, I've tried disabling the Hacker's Keyboard, and then using the stock keyboards, restarted the tablet, but these don't rectify the issue.
I've just reinstalled my apps after factory data reset, including the "hackers keyboard" in the hope that I can gather more information leading up to the issue, and perhaps fault find post event, should I be able to repeat this.
Any input highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
96b

I had same issue with my 3110 on the 4.0.3 ROM. Device was not rooted, no new app installed. In my case I resolve it by factory reset.
hi,
I have this trange problem with my keyboard that when i choose hebrew and go to messaging app (happens on other apps too, but less usual), then when i try to type a message after i input the two first characters of a word (in hebrew) the keyboard stops responding and closes for a minute, then comes back and when i try to type again it erases what it wrote before.
Does anyone know what may be the source of the problem? (happened on different roms)

disable all the auto correction and auto complete options, this will solve your problem.
When I first got this tablet I could pinch-to-zoom and select split keyboard or floating keyboard. Now it's not working. The multi-touch gesture seems to do nothing. The installed version of the keyboard is Samsung Keyboard 1.0. It says in the options that pinch-to-zoom on the keyboard zone would bring up the style selection menu (as it should). It just refuses to recognize my gesture. This is on a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
Anyone else experience this? Any ideas if removing an app or something may have done this? Can't figure it out for the life of me.
Did you try to clear the keyboards data ?
Open apps in setting and clear data and cash of keyboard if not try to find keyboard apk and install if not flash other rom
I think this is samsung keyboard apk make a nandroid backup first bedfore trying

I tried all the suggestions you guys mentioned and still nothing. I have a feeling the keyboard apk is unable to save data because I am still having this same problem from my previous thread. My internal sdcard refuses to let me delete corrupted files from it again and I think maybe the keyboards settings are saved there. I also cannot save a screenshot or user defined words with my keyboard.

SAME ****
Same problem here, just got new TAB 2
Android 4.0.3 Samsung Keyboard 1.0 pinch to zoom on keyboard not working to choose keyboard style. Tried to clean cahce and so on.. and nothing. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Any one having same problem? Or had in the past?
Wassup With That!?
Go this Nifty Tablet on Sunday and after playing around with Google Maps this morning I noticed the pinch function was not working, I even tried it on a few pictures and in a few web browsers, no luck. i noticed this while playing Video games but i brushed it off, I was playing "Dead Trigger" & "Modern Combat 3" in game the camera goes haywire or would not respond to my touch at all and would continue to not work correctly unless i do a reboot and jump right back in as soon as the tab is back up and running. I have to do this a few times before it all goes back to normal.
I'm wondering if this is a hardware defect and i should return it for a new unit or should i just wait it off untill a new software release hopefully fixes this issue.
or i might just return it and upgrade to a NOTE
Android 4.1.1 - Model GT-P5113
I got this multi touch problem just after i updated the tablet to jb.
Guess its software error or something.
Sometimes works (after reboot) and then it doesnt work anymore.

I can't figure our why but lately the samsung keyboard is completely off. I sometimes can't even backspace because it keeps hitting the "L" button that's located above it. Anyone having this problem or have any solutions? it's driving me nuts.
reboot?
try another, then go back to your keyboard of choice and see if it fixes it.
find keyboard in apps and clear cache/data
pull battery
just some things id try.
Most people seem to dislike the Samsung keyboard. I agree. Swiftkey or the 4.2 keyboard are much much better

Hi guys,
I've had an HTC EVO 4G LTE since June, and have had SwiftKey installed on it from day one. I loved how great the auto-correction was and used the prediction from time to time too. That all changed, though, about a month and a half ago. Since then, auto-correct has been downright terrible. Examples: when I type "whodidyou" it suggests "Who'd I'd you" and "Who's I'd you", and when I type "okaycokl" (trying to type "okay cool") it suggests "okay color" and "okay collection". This happens all the time, and I'd say auto-correct is accurate about only a third of the time when it used to be spot on every time. Word prediction is also pointless; it doesn't suggest any words that I normally use. I also used to be able to type a colon or semicolon and a smiley face would pop up as a suggestion, which doesn't happen anymore (although that may have just been phased out by SwiftKey, at this point I'm not sure). My guess is that these issues may have started when it was updated to include Flow, but again, I'm not sure.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. I thought maybe it was my phone because there were other issues with it too, but I'm running CM10 now and SwiftKey still sucks. I'm really hoping that I'm just a strange exception because this was such a good keyboard and I would love to be able to fix it. Has anyone else been experiencing these problems? And would anyone know of a possible fix?
I've been having the same issue, too.
I've thought about deleting the data, but it hasn't been bad enough yet for me to get around to it.
I have not seen this on swiftkey, I have seen strange things like the auto predictions not working at all however!
Might be worth Clearing the app data out and setting it up again? To clear it out back to day one
Yes 7 issues I have
