Okay... So for as long as I've had this phone, I've been getting this error. Am I the only one who gets this, or does everyone here suffer from this every time you reboot your phone? It's insanely annoying and if there is ANY way to get rid of this, I would love to know how. Anyways, this is the error:
External Keyboard
Swype may not be compatible with this physical keyboard. If you experience issues, switch back to Motorola input.

Then it forces me to select my input method. I like swype and I would like you continue using it. I would just like to get rid of this message every time I reboot my phone.
On a side-note... which touch screen keyboard do you guys prefer to use?
For the relatively few times by comparison I don't use the hardware keyboard, I always use Swiftkey and wouldn't consider anything else otherwise.

Good, I thought I was the only one. I always hit the 'do not show this message again' tick box. I got used to it.
I use Swype when I type in potrait mode.

I often use swype when I'm skating and don't want to pull out the keyboard.
But yeah, the message really gets annoying. This is the only phone I've ever gotten that warning on.
I routinely get this message as well. I always select Swype and check to the box to not show this notification again, but it still comes back a day or two later.
Wish there was a permanent fix or way to suppress this message as it's quite pointless. Everything seems to work fine otherwise.
Yeah I have had 3 photon q's and they all do this! So *%&*#*@ annoying

I hate this, I never want to see it again!
Is there any way to make it disappear forever?
Not sure if you would want to do that you might need it. But you can make it so it does not AUTO POP UP eachtime your in a screen that uses it. Do a search for auto pop up
I hate it and want to remove it entirely - isn't that possible? I've never used it once and don't intend to.
hmmm...I have never used the hardware keyboard...only the on screen one...
Hmm not sure about removing it but you can disable it from poping up.
I dont mind it, comes in handy for typing in something very short when I dont feel like waiting for the screen to reorient while the keyboard pops out.
Have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341959
There are 2 solutions listed, NullKB and FakeSIP. I haven't tried them as I use both keyboards depending on how much text I have to input and whether I have the stylus out already.
Good luck.
Is there any way to force the onscreen keyboard to popup? I've had a few instances in the browser where I needed to type something and the cursor was in the right place but no amount of clicking would make the keyboard pop up so I could type. Is there any way to manually force the keyboard open in instances where the automatic open fails? Thanks.
Hold the menu button and your keyboard should pop up.
that just brings up search
Weird. It definitely brings up the keyboard on mine.
is this possible to port?
do you think you can put up the files in your "system/user/keylayout"
edit: nevermind

Did you get it fixed?
I can not get the files as the phone i tested on is in the possession of someone else and is not rooted (crazy right?).
I checked the rom listed in your sig and the files are different from the ones on my cappy so I couldn't really compare them. Also, what phone were you using?

My roommate is using the captivate from at&t, completely stock and unrooted though.
And now that I checked it out, he's an idiot. I asked him if holding the menu button brought up the keyboard just like on my nexus one (and showed him) and he tried it and said yes, but it really just brought up the search plus keyboard... Ugh. My apologies. I should have just checked for myself lol.
hmmmmm.... it looks like we may have to bring in the big guns...... does anyone happen to know any big guns?
Rooted with the Hack Kit, running attn1's inspired_dhd_vfr series ROM, I downloaded and installed the Swype beta from Swype's web site. For a while, it will work fine, then it will only send data to the input window if I type one letter at a time. If I trace a word, it does not send anything. Uninstalling and reinstalling works, but that is a pain.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Its a known swype bug. You can just press and hold to switch input methods choose something other than swype. Repeat and choose swype and all is good
this happens on every rom ive used on the inspire. its pretty annoying

Thanks so much Anthonok! Did the trick!
This happens to me and I'm stock. Never rooted and it happens like 10 - 20 times in a week.

Hi,
I use SlideIt all the time,and it can sometimes be awkward to get going when I load up a new ROM.
I have found that it takes a few install/uninstall/install/uninstall/install before it will go right through the load-up menus.
Just persevere.
Hi,
Sadly I did that 5-7 times, but still swiftkey won't work :'(

Hi,
Not sure about swiftkey,as I have never used it.
Try SlideIt.
I am sure there is a free version to test.
I change between swiftkey x and thumboard.
After enabling your keyboards from the settings and confirmed that they are checked. Go to a browser bar to type something and before typing, long press about 3 seconds in the area. Another window should come up labled "input method". Selecting that will bring up a window with all your selected keyboards. Select the one you want and you're good to go.

Thanks, but I rather like swiftkey, it looks better
Ok, I cannot find anything related to my problem, and I CAN`T be the only one with this.
First things first: My name is Lane, long time lurker, first time poster. I have a P-3113 GTab2 7", stock rooted JB 4.1.2, and a IVSO bluetooth keyboard case. Over the last week, I've been trying to find a way to hide the soft keyboard while using the BT keyboard. I started with "Null Keyboard", but all it did was get rid of the keyboard entirely. I still like using the soft keyboard when I need it in a pinch. I don't like having to switch manually. Then I found AnySoftKeyboard, which i freakin' love.
But now i have a problem.
When the default keyboard is set to AnySoft (or any other keyboard for that matter), i can use it and its wonderful features for a total of 5-10 minutes before Android complains and throws up an error message, then switches the default keyboard back to Samsung... I even caught a screenshot of the error just now. You can see AnySoftKeyboard in the screenshot behind the message, but then it switches to the Samsung keyboard.

It is an error i might recognize.. Does it happen with ny other keyboard too??like swift key or ny other that stock??
If you get prob just in AnySoft then its the problem in programming made by the app developer,
if other keyboards crash too then i guess its the problem in your rom.. Did you flash ny thing on your current rom??
Also,
Try using WIFI keyboard if you want no keyboard display while typing from external keyboards via usb
ROM is stock JB, just rooted. Nothing else flashed. This happens with other keyboards, too, like SlideIt, Null, and AnySoft.
As far as I know, this only happens when I have my bluetooth keyboard connected.
It is really not that hard to switch input methods between a BT keyboard and an onscreen keyboard, no app is needed to easily go back and forth between those two. There should be a notification that shows up to easily switch input methods when a text box is tapped.
It looks like the second line says "change BT input method to stock Samsung keyboard", if that's any help.
Attached is the said notification.

if you use just stock keyboard, do you get the same error and the stock keyboard refreshes/reboots??

No, only when an alternate KB is set as default.
