Sometimes in messages/browser I tap the word box/URL and it goes into "keyboard mode" but my keyboard doesn't show up.
If I mash it, it takes about 10 taps before the keyboard actually appears. This wasn't an issue in the past, I don't know what caused it.
I'm on GS6 running Noble ROM and using Swiftkey keyboard.

I'm running the stock ROM from Alltel. Lately my TP has been sucking when it comes to typing on the keyboard. Random keys at random times will stick and the spacebar is the only way for it to stop typing. When I press the delete key once, it will just sit there until I hit the spacebar. Then it will delete the letter and type a space.
I have restarted the phone and the problem persists. I'm thinking the keyboard is going out on me. I don't think it is the OS because the display keyboard works fine.
Any thoughts?
I have the same issues with lag and sticky keys.
I am using stock HTC Touch Pro ROM.
Pressing the center D-Pad button stops the sticky key,
then I need to clean up the mess.

Anybody else with this issue?
I found a solution. Press the spacebar real hard. Apparently there is a connection lead under it. Worked for me. KB has not gone crazy on me for over a week.
I have an annoying problem with my text input suddenly forcing All CAPS for no apparent reason. I am using the dock and this happens when I don't even have the caps lock button enabled. this sometimes happens if I choose to capitalise a letter using the shift> letter command, after doing this it seems that all text is capitalized. Sometimes I am able to switch off the caps by deleting to the previous sentence where things were normal, but sometimes this won't work.
I'm using SWIFTKEY TABLET X if that makes any difference. Incidentally the capitalisation stated when I typed the capital x just before when I was typing SwiftKey. The capitals would not switch off until I navigated back to some lower case text and typed some stuff, but before returning to where I left off.
Super frustrating and can't seem to resolve it. Not sure if this is a SwiftKey issue or something that others using stock honeycomb keyboard are experiencing?
All help appreciated.
I noticed that same thing. It happens after I come out of sleep. I thought it was the cover resting on the shift key, but it even happens with the dock open.
Pressing the shift key once seems to fix it. I've got a B8O dock with a B5O tablet. The only other non-stock thing I have is WiFi off in sleep. How about you?
Think of the keyboard on the dock as an extension of the software keyboard you are using. In this case, what's probably occurring here is that you're hitting shift twice, and therefore putting the software keyboard into Caps Lock. Just hit shift again to return it to normal. Also, it really is a good idea to switch your keyboard to the stock on when you have the tablet docked.
I doubt I was double shifting (anything like double clutching???), but I'll pay more attention to this.
I was using the standard keyboard. I'll try using the Asus keyboard and see if that resolves the issue.
Anyone still having issues with this?
I am still having the problems, although the shift thing does resolve it a lot of the time.
Shame that ASUS decided to do nothing about this..... REALLY grinds my gears that the vast majority of companies just take the cash and run, and leaving behind a product that could be so much more.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Anyone figured out any way to change the launch buttons on the dock? Since I don't ever use the stock browser this button has become useless.
I'm not sure why this happens this way but just about every time I go to compose a new SMS, as soon as I start to type in the main text field, it puts up the 'select' cursor which is the little blue box that hangs over the 'W' key on the keyboard.
If I need to start typing and the first word starts with a W, I have to wait about 5 seconds for this cursor to disappear so I can then hit the letter. How the hell do I remove this and stop it from happening? I'm not sure what to look for in the settings but as of yet haven't seen anything. I'm on the latest version and it's been happening for the past few revisions.
Oh and I'm using Smart Keyboard Pro if it's possibly a keyboard issue and not the fault of Go SMS Pro itself.
[EDIT] I think the problem is that when I go to compose a new message, the cursor is blinking in the field to type but my keyboard isn't on the screen. When I click the field to get the keyboard to pop up, then it brings up the cursor which you'd normally see if you want to select text and/or past something from the clipboard. I just tested in Dolphin HD and this doesn't happen this way as the keyboard presents itself as soon as I click in the url field.
Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks
I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?
I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.
Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.
Anyone have an issue where the Samsung keyboard will stop responding to SwiftFlow, also known as "swiping"?
For example, sometimes when I want to input text, the Samsung keyboard appears, but instead of being able to swipe through letters, It will only detect "tapping" or the first letter I touch.
The simple fix is to hit the "back" button on the phone which will close the keyboard, then bring the keyboard back and SwiftFlow/Swyping will work again. The problem is I seem to be running into this a few times a day during heavy use, so it's obviously annoying when it happens.
