Xperia Keyboard Bug - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've done a search of this problem and haven't found a fix or explanation for it. Hoping for others to shed some light on this.
It occurs on the stock Xperia Keyboard - International under the Use my writing style > My words setting where the words I delete or modify will have its changes reverted if I restart or power off/on the phone. The app is updated and it occured when I was on Lollipop and now it occurs on MM.
For example, I capitalised the 'j' in a name saved in my words for 'jonathon' to become 'Jonathon'. After restarting the phone, that change isn't saved.

[Q] 4.0 Keypad not responding/loading

Hello all,
I apologize in advance if this problem was solved before, I could not find it.
I have a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) with Android 4.0.3. For a few weeks now I've been having problems with the onscreen keypad. Everything is working normal when suddenly the keypad stops responding. I can still touch other things on the screen and scroll through menus as normal, it's just the keypad that stops working. When I reboot the device, the problem is usually solved. As of yesterday, I have (occassionaly) had the same problem but the keypad doesnt even load. The page is sized down to accomodate the pad but there's just a black rectangle. To solve this, I needed to reboot twice.
I'm pretty sure this has to be software-related seeing as the rest of the apps/screen keeps working.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Anyone had this same problem? It's happening more frequent now, about twice a day.
Same problem here
I have the same problem and its driving me nuts! If i drag down the notification bar and click the "Select Input Method" button, nothing happens.
Tried going through settings menu and changing to stock/swype and still cannot enter anything. Swype even shows the word i entered in the suggestions bar but nothing appears in the text entry box!
Im so glad it's not just me. Do you use a custom keyboard? I use Swiftkey 3 but as i said, i tried switching to another keyboard and still got nothing. I have even had the problem persist after reboots sometimes!!
Is there another ROM I can flash? I have stayed stock until now, but between this and the bluetooth drop out bug and speakerphone issues, I'm about ready to give up on Samsung's Official ROM :/
When the problems started I didn't have a custom keyboard but now I'm using SwiftKey. Since that change I haven't had as much problems. Only thing that happens now sometimes is when you type for example tree and every keystroke after that then copies ree so you get treereereereereereeree.
There are certainly other ROMs but I'm not really into that so you should search the forum. I'm still (relucantly) using the official ROM.

[Q] Problems with default applications

I am having some problems with default applications my Xperia L using either the stock ROM (rooted) and the Clean 'n' tweaked version from Seraj.
From time to time, my phone seems to forget the default for some actions like thhe Home Loucher or the Keyboard. For example, today after I hang up a call the system presented me with the screen to choose thee default keyboard. Another example is that if I reboot it always ask me the default launcher, and in many random moments it asks again.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Ultimate ics for motorola milestone - bugs and issues

Hello Users!
This is the thread only about the bugs and issues that are found in the Custom ROM Ultimate ICS developed for Motorola Milestone A853 by iceandfire
Since the original forum is little old and few bugs are not still mentioned, I will mention about the these bugs.
These bugs are found out after few weeks of testing. The ROM is smooth than other ICS based ROM's available. So if you don't find any bugs you are lucky, but as far as I know, I have seen others having the same issue who have ported this ROM to their Motorola Milestone.
May be we did followed a wrong procedure in flashing the ROM, so this thread is solely intended to mention the bugs we are having so that we can know the solution and the fix.
Thank You.
The Actual Device we tested this ROM is Motorola Milestone A853, with open recovery (2nd boot), vulnerable recovery flashed with RSD lite and for more space and performance the SD card is partitioned.
NOTE: THE BUGS AND ISSUES ARE NOT FIXED YET. SO IF YOU ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES PLEASE CONTACT DEVELOPER TO FIX IT.
1)WIDGET BUTTONS IN NOTIFICATION BAR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
The widget buttons that can be enabled in notification bar i.e, toogling WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound etc are not functioning properly. The buttons appear in the notification bar but they fail to activate/deactivate the function.
2) KEYBOARD APPEARANCE WHILE TYPING IN BROWSER SHOWS A HALF BLACK SCREEN OR KEYBOARD WILL NOT APPEAR AT ALL.
The keyboard functionality is yet to be fixed. If we want to type address in address bar in a browser such as opera or UC, sometimes keyboard will not appear at all when we tap in address bar or if it appears it makes the screen half black.
Luckily Milestone has physical qwerty keypad with which we managed, but even switching to manual keyboard by sliding the mobile makes the screen half black many times. We cant see what we are typing.
3) MESSAGING APP NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED EVERY TIME
The messaging app provided by developer is for fixing the black appearance of inbox messages which is making the message unreadable. But the fix is not actually complete. If you reboot your device after installing the MMS.apk we are getting the same black screen again and we have to install the app again and again to read the messages. This bug not only appears after rebooting, it also appears without rebooting.
4) PROFILES OPTIONS IN SETTINGS ARE NOT FULLY DEVEOPED
Switching to profiles like general, silent, meeting etc are not available in the Profile settings. All we can see under profiles tab is "Preference Stub - Temporary placeholder until functionality merged".
Even the same dialogue is seen in Themes section.
5) RESTRICTING BACKGROUND DATA IS NOT POSSIBLE
Restricting background mobile data to save battery is not possible. When we tried to enable restrict background data it popup's a message "restricting background data is possible only when you set mobile data limit". But there is no option to set data limit.
These are the major bugs we faced with this ROM. If we are wrong and if we only are facing these bugs, your help is greatly appreciated.
And if you are facing the same problems, hope developer will fix them soon.
Thank You.

[Q] Black screen after pressing home...?

Doesn't always happen but on occasion upon pressing the home button the entire screen goes black aside from status bar happen even w/o xposed enabled on stock rom hardware problem or software bug? Phone restart fixes it but it gets annoying restarting it everytime
EDIT: Power menu is also visible I have flashed my phone through flashtool already
z3 d6603
Hi. Did you find a solution to this issue? My Z3 is doing the same.
Thanks.
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I have a similar problem. Randomly something will cause the screen to completely blank out. I can't see anything but I know the screen still turns on and off when I press the power button because the screen will be dimly lit when on. The only thing I can do is hold the power button down and get the power menu. Restarting fixes it. It has been happening more and more frequently. I am on the tmo rooted lollipop build with xposed.
In stock everything and get this, friends z3 does this to
I don't remember this ever happening on KitKat. It's getting really annoying and it seems to happen randomly. Sometimes on app crash/hang or just when I try to turn the screen on after getting the phone out of pocket. I wonder if its a lollipop thing.
Okay so I figured out that uninstalling the smallapps bar stuff with titanium backup was the root of my problem... if anyone else has done this definitely not a good idea haha
Stock, unmodded, didn't happen once, so I guess software problems (at least I hope for you) :/
try disabling any active app lock... this issue happened in my friends xperia z3 after the lollipop update but disabling/uninstalling app lock works sometimes.....
Did you find a solution? My z3c does exactly the same
do you guys have smart lock enabled ? Or do you have tasker/llama to activate lock/unlock based on position/network cells ?
I'm getting this bug now on a 2 month old Xperia Z3 D6683 more and more frequently and I have location based unlock rules in Llama...
I'm trying "Disable hardware overlay" in developer settings and I will see if it solves the issue.

Lollipop[5.1]+xposed causing process launching and input bugs

Hi everyone,
I recently tried using a few [5.1.x] ROMs, and as habit I always install xposed with them. The xposed(experimental [5.1] version) and its modules worked flawlessly,no problems at all. But every time, after a few minutes (or hours) of boot, the phone misbehaves with the following consistent symptoms:-
1) The back and the menu buttons stop working. However the Home button still continues to work. Software keys also work.
2) The keyboard stops popping up (Default Google keyboard, Anysoft Keyboard, Google voice keyboard). Task manager shows none of these processes being created after that point. This happens sometimes even during typing when the keyboard disappears and wont show up until I restart my phone.
3) Clicking on any of the icons doesnt create the process, i.e. the app wont launch after the misbehaving symptoms have started.
The only way to solve this is to restart, but the problem returns after a few minutes again.
I have taken all precautions of checking the version compatibilities of the software and modules while installing them. They work perfectly for some time before going bad.
I have this problem only on 5.1 ROMs,that too in combination with the xposed. When I revert back to 4.4 or 5.0 ROMs with their respective xposed versions, the problem goes away.
Does anyone else experience this problem as well? Does anyone know a permanent solution to this?
