I don't know what the deal is, I had them this morning, and even after a restore, I don't have any of my Input methods anymore. They all show but when I select one it doesn't apply. I should have:
Block Recognizer
Compact QWERTY
Full QWERTY
Keyboard (it defaults to this every time)
Letter Recognizer
Phone Keyboard
Transcriber
I have recently installed the new Landscape Full Manila update but I had these options even after that.
Anyone know how I can reinstall these options?! I hate that default keyboard!
It seems like they are all there still, like I can see options for them all, etc but it just wont change, also its like the small arrow by the keyboard isn't activated and I cant click it, I can change the default keyboard from small to large, but that's it!
ERRRR, what pisses me off is I backup ALL THE TIME, before every app install even, and when I do a restore, it still doesn't work, WTF good are backups then! Or does Spite Backup just suck and I should be using another?
This worrying about everything from one min to the next with this device is the only bad thing about it.
The only suggestion I have for you is to do a hard reset and restore using the most recent back up file until you find a back up file that works for you. I have used sprite back up many times before but this has never happened to me.
Are you using the stock Fuze ROM?
Yeah I'm using the stock ROM but I bypassed the bloatware and installed TF3D that was just released in the software thread, the full one with landscape mode.
I tried several backups and none worked, strange, not sure what caused this but I did find a work-around, its a small app called SIPChange, it was a shot in the dark but it worked for me, for anyone else with this issue, try it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
This actually even fixed the little arrow issue I have that wasn't letting me select the Input method on the fly, I did notice it loads at every reset tho, I don't care as long as it works!
Thanks guys, I hope this thread will help anyone else with the issue.
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 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

Hi,
I am sort of new to this forum and I hope I am posting this in the right place. Apologies if there is a thread about this elsewhere but I have looked online and couldn't find a thread about this issue. It is hard for me to describe in words about the issue I am facing but I will try and be as descriptive as possible
For quite sometime now I find that my nexus 5 keyboard has become extremely glitchy and choppy. I find that the keyboard isn't as smooth as it was when I first got my device. There seems to be a bit of a lag between the time I press the key to the when the characters actually appear. It is very apparent when I am typing sentences in one flow. This is causing too many typos and is extremely annoying. I could, at one time, comfortably type long text messages with hardly any typos. The typos that I get can be considered almost impossible to generate unless you are willingly typing random characters
I am on android 4.4.4 and this problem has existed for the past couple of months. I don't have any custom firmware installed. My frequently used messaging apps are Viber, WhatsApp and Google hangouts. But this issue seems to be there even when I am typing something in the browser
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Have you tried a different keyboard? Like SwiftKey

Hi MasterElaichi and welcome to the forums.
The keyboard that your using for your messaging apps is the same as the one in your browser also... Im pretty sure that it's the Google keyboard by default.
I actually use Android Keyboard (AOSP) instead of the standard Google Keyboard and can switch between the two if I want the the system settings menu.
Couple things you could try-
To start you can go to "System Settings/Language and Input" then scroll down to keyboard and input methods. Click on the settings menu to the right of the Google keyboard or what ever keyboard you have selected. and go through you settings and make sure everything is set to your preference (just by chance somehow the settings have change) and check your auto correction aggressiveness, I have mine set to Modest.
Other than that you can try and and go to "System Settings/Apps/All" then select Google keyboard and clear the Data and Cache. This will wipe you personal dictionary if you have one though.
If the following doesn't work and the Google keyboard keeps acting up, you might want to try an different keyboard all together. Like Android Keyboard (AOSP) or Swiftkwey or Kii keyboard... Just some popular one to recommend.
Hi,
Thanks for all your responses. I have tried swiftkey in the past but I find it weird. For some reason I prefer a standard keyboard
My google keyboard settings are set to the default. I have turned off vibrations and the auto correct is set at modest. I have tried clearing the cache numerous times in the past but that doesn't work either
If I were to type this message using my Nexus 5, it would be riddled with typos and spaceless words. I am talking about typos that are impossible to get when you are in the flow and just typing away. For example, when I want to type "m', the letter "m" pops up, but the character that appears in the text area is either "." or the previous character would have disappeared. Similar thing with space bars. Sometimes pressing a space bar will just create a space but the characters may not appear
I have tried using my phone in safe mode but it helps only a little bit. I did contact the google support centre. As expected, they are asking me to do a factory reset and if that doesn't work they say they will rma my phone
Hi,
I uninstalled apps like Viber and Whatsapp thinking they could be the cause. I have also been running my device on safe mode. The problem still persists
I found this thread online. My problem is quite similar this one here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274818
The only difference is that the OP here had an issue with an HTC. The problem appears to be keys that are close together are getting pressed. And I am certain my finger's aren't that fat and stubby that multiple keys get pressed
I don't want to factory reset my phone without exhausting all my options to fix this problem. Any input will be helpful
Thank you
So I have decided to do a hard reset on my phone hoping that would resolve my keyboard issue. I have managed to backup my photos and stuff to google doc. i wanted to back up my whatsapp data onto my laptop but for some reason my laptop (vista) isn't detecting my phone
I have reinstalled whatsapp in the past after removing and I didn't lose my whatsapp data. Do you think a hard reset will make my whatsapp data irretrievable? I am asking because there is an option in whatsapp, when you install it, that asks if you want to back up conversations

if you hard reset and wipe the internal memory then your whatsapp back up will be deleted.
Try and uninstall any keyboard updates you may have done.
I would say the same thing and it would be the first thing I would try, uninstall the updates and data in settings/apps. The google keyboard works fine on my N5 and N7.
I performed a wipe cache partition through recovery mode. There seems to be some improvement but it is too soon to tell
I was able to install gboard on the GW4, set it as the default keyboard, and now have access to a REAL keyboard and with a real voice to text! (I can't believe Samsung's crappy keyboard is still T9). The only problem is that after a while, using the mic will result in "Initializing..." forever. With trial and error, the only thing that fixes it is reinstalling it and/or rebooting the phone. Haven't had enough use yet to know which it is (have had the watch only 2 days so far).
Anyone else install gboard and having success with it being reliable for voice-to-text?
Works OK for me GW4 Classic.
Hello, I would love to have gboard but for now there is no possibility to have qwertz, correct? Also, why is there not the same amount of languages available? I have qwertz+Slovenian on my phone but I cant have it no the watch... or am I missing something?

You're missing something. There is qwerty keyboard with Gboard and also at least two languages, same as phone, press and hold space bar to change it.
This changes input voice language ass well

I agree but suggestions are nice but they are not available for my language...even though they are available on the phone...
I'm afraid that gboard for wear is missing a lot of languages. Greek for instance. I installed the keyboard, set it as primary but cannot install Greek language support. In my phone I have Greek as a second input language.

Today it did it again. Tried to use gboard mic and "Initializing..." forever. I checked Bixby mic and that didn't work either. This time I woke the phone (Samsung A52 5G) to look to make sure it was paired, it was, then the watch suddenly worked with gboard mic again. The mystery continues...
I have the same problem. initialization .... the microphone does not work after a while I have not found a solution

Well, at least I am not alone. Thanks for posting.
There are often pauses with "inititalization..." that only last a few seconds and then it works. That is annoying, but not the problem I am complaining about. It is when it says "initialization..." forever and no amount of waiting helps.

If you need qwertz you can change language to Czech - they have qwertz, it works for me
And this morning it is doing it again. The gboard works with typing. Bixby works with voice. Everything else seems to be working. But if I try the mic in gboard, it is "initializing..." forever again.
Tried turning off bluetooth on watch, waited a moment and turned it back on (full reboot). No change.
Used Galaxy Wearable and disconnected from watch (by selecting old S3), then reconnected to the 4. No change.
Turned off watch, then back on. No change.
Attempted to "kill" Galaxy Wearable on phone, didn't seem to die, perhaps it restarts immediately. Anyway, no change, still stuck.
Restarted phone (A52 G5), using soft reboot option. No change.
Powered off phone, waited a moment, powered it back on. No change.
Went into Store> My apps on the watch and uninstalled gboard, then installed it again (12MB). Then changed the default KB back to gboard. Then it worked again.
So nothing I tried this time helps, except to completely re-install gboard. Crazy. Anyone have any other suggestion to try when it gets "stuck" again (and it probably won't take long for that to happen)?
I would be OK with using Samsung keyboard with its Bixby voice to text (although it is less accurate), except there are times I want to physically type, and that KB doesn't have a qwerty keyboard, making it useless! So I can either use Samsung and have voice but no typing, or gboard and have typing but ususally no voice. So very frustrating.

Not gonna lie, I find it mildly infuriating that some Google apps (GBoard, Keep) would not work properly with Google's own OS (unless of course Samsung's skin has something to do with it).

Yep, it is already stuck again on "initializing..." forever. Sigh.

I have the same issue and used to uninstall/reinstall Gboard to fix it. While the problem isn't solved, on Reddit, i found what i think is a better way to restore voice typing whenever you lose it:
On the watch, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Permission Manager -> Microphone -> Gboard -> choose "Ask every time".
Then trigger Gboard by composing a message in a relevant app (i.e., Messages etc). Click on the voice typing icon. You should get -- "Allow Gboard to record audio?" -> pick "While using the app"
This should fix the issue, at least temporarily.

Thanks, I just tried that and it works. Interesting. It isn't an easy work-around, but it is easier than reinstalling gboard each time. I wonder if it would work better to just answer "ask each time" when it asks for permission? I will try that approach the next time it gets stuck (which won't take long).

You're welcome. For what it's worth, the problem only reoccurs for me whenever the watch is restarted (including restarts caused by updates). If i don't restart the watch, then i don't lose voice-to-text. As soon as i preform a restart, it stops working and i need to do the work-around again, which lasts until the next restart.

This is great, I wonder if there is some sort of similar fix for the endless syncing of Google Keep? Also, if users can find workarounds like this, why the heck haven't Samsung and Google fixed the issue??

I can't confirm that here. I am pretty sure I have not restarted the watch since the last time the mic was working and when it stopped working. I will pay more attention to that and report back.
