The Title pretty much says it all. Starting this afternoon, coincidentally or not after loading the March update, whenever I have a keyboard up to type something, the keyboard and/or the app flashes/refreshes. If I'm in an app, without using the keyboard - nothing.
At first I thought it was SwiftKey, but confirmed that it does it with Gboard as well.
Anyone else experiencing this, any thoughts or ideas?

The culprit was "Fingerprint Scanner Tool" seems to be a conflict with the March update.

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

I'm having an issue with opening hangouts and the keyboard not inputting anything into the message field. The keyboards responds to keys pressed but nothing shows up.
I have to close Hangouts from Recent Apps and reopen it to get the keyboard to work. Happens quite often but not everytime.
Problem is on a Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. This is my second Nexus 5 so I'm thinking it's a bug in the software but haven't found anyone else with the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

or it could be a mod that your using(xposed?), or an app that you have installed interfering. honestly, this is the first ive heard of such an issue. you are using the stock keyboard?

Yup stock keyboard. I can't think of any apps that may be causing the issue other than "Notify Me" I haven't looked deep enough into whether it only happens randomly when swiping from the popup notification or not.
Going to have to pay attention to that.

Same issue here, I found your topic on another forum OP
Stock nexus 5 here.
I've experienced this a few times. Usually I just back out and re-open the message thread and It's fixed.
Good to know I'm not the only one! It's a pretty irritating issue which is about to force me to find a new app for SMS!
So I solved my issue. I was using a notification app called "NotifyMe!"
Since removing it, I haven't had any more keyboard issues.
Yeah, even I face this issue... However, I'm on a custom rom and use SwiftKey.
I face this issue not only in Hangouts but also when I use whatsapp as well.
But it happens rarely so didn't give it much thought..

You can determine if it is a 3rd party app interfering by rebooting your phone into Safe mode. If the problem goes away, you know it's one of your apps such as the OP's "Notify Me" which appears to of been his cause for this issue.
I also had this issue running Swiftkey,switched tinthe aosp keyboard and haven't had an issue with it

I have an annoying issue where the blue anchor thing stops functioning properly when hangouts is in landscape... not sure if this is a common problem or not?
Every time I try typing something lately whether its a text, hangouts message, email, url, etc... the default touchwiz samsung keyboard lags pretty bad. Its strange because the rest of the phone runs pretty smooth, its just the key pressing that is terribly sluggish and I cant figure out why. I have all the latest software updates from VZW and the Play Store as well. I tried installing a couple other keyboards too when I got frustrated, like google keyboard and swiftkey but I ended up finding the same thing happening so I got rid of them. Anyone else experiencing this? Any remedies?

When I had this problem when I very first got the phone, the only remedy I found that worked was a firmware reinstall.. Otherwise it's going to keep doing that and I don't know why either!
Hi XDA,
I am having an issue with my Google Keyboard since I got the device back in November, 2016.
If I'm using the phone in an app where the keyboard is showing (usually WhatsApp) and then lock the phone, upon turning it on again, the keyboard would be showing and blocking the pin code (unlocks fine with fingerprint)
this also blocks me from seeing notifications as the keyboard keeps showing until I lock the phone from the lock screen.
Additional info:
Currently on Beta Nougat 7.1.2 (issue started since 7.1.1)
Google Keyboard Updated to 6.0.79.144029707
I tried resetting the keyboard and even uninstalling, reinstalling, not updating, the issue stays.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome as long as it's not asking me to use SwiftKey or any other keyboard.

Have you at least tried another keyboard to troubleshoot? Maybe roll back the Google keyboard to am earlier version. See if the problem persists.

The issue is very inconsistent, it would take a while to test, I just uninstalled the Gboard so it's
Google Keyboard 5.2.1.136797460
I will test for a few days and update later, but as I recall, it will still persist on this version.

Upon checking now, the issue is back a few days later.
I am currently testing Chrooma GIF Keyboard as it's the closest I could find for Google's own.
I will update again if the issue arises.

Chrooma GIF Keyboard didnt work for me - anyone else have an answer for this yet? - it definitely gets stuck when whatsapp is involved...
I often get a popup that says Samsung Keyboard keeps stopping Close app
The only thing that works to get me back to being able to type is to go to my Gboard app and select, for the fiftieth time, the English language keyboard. Sooner or later, though, I get the annoying popup again and can't type anything until I do the Gboard thing.
Looking at some solutions online it seems maybe I need to clear a cache. But the following instructions, which are repeated in various ways in different sites/videos, don't get me anywhere.
settings
Applications
applications manager
Scroll over to ALL
Scroll down to Samsung keyboard
Clear cache
clear data
restart from home screen
Why? Because going to Settings doesn't get me to "Applications" but rather to "Apps" , and when I go there, there is no Samsung keyboard. Just Gboard. I just cleared Gboard's cache, don't know if I should also clear its data - what do I lose, really, when I delete its data?
Thanks for your help!
I have the same issue after I hit the Emoticon Icon. I installed a secondary keyboard and am using that currently.
Hopefully someone has help, it happened to me after a Verizon update on my Galaxy s6!

Which keyboard did you install? Are you enjoying it? Can I assume it stopped the problem?
Thanks!
I don't use the Samsung keyboard but this keeps popping up and I can't type anything. My phone did an update over night last night and now this problem. I'm at my wits end with what to do. Nothing is working and I can't type anything.
"samsung keyboard stopped working"
I had that problem after pressing the emoticon button too. I don't even use samsung keyboard. I did the clearing the cache, forcing stop, clearing the dictionary cache...none of that worked. Finally I reinstalled the google keyboard and the message went away. It was a frustrating few hours of trying different things!

Keyboard keeps stopping (possible fix)
Hi all,
I did this and it seems to be working so far:
Apps->Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard-.>Samsung Keyboard->About Samsung Keyboard (at bottom)->
At this point my phone stated that Samsung Keyboard had an update available. I tapped on that message, and it updated the keyboard.
After that I was able to tap emoticons without a problem. So far, so good. texting works, and all my message apps seem happy.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks very much for this - fixed my Mum's phone which was crippled by this problem and I was concerned I wasn't going to be able to sort it so a big relief this worked.

fix worked but menu sequence wrong

This updating seems to have worked to fix the problem on my S6 also. Thanks a lot.
But the sequence to get there was slightly different. On my Sprint/Galaxy S6, the sequence was:
Settings>General Management>Language and Input>Virtual Keyboard>Samsung Keyboard>About Samsung Keyboard>Updates
