Tonight I noticed this strange bug when trying to pick an emoji inside WhatsApp, not from the keyboard I'm using, but from inside WhatsApp. So by now y'all are aware of the option to auto hide the nav buttons and also if you want to keep the little black dot on the left side so you can more easily swap options. Well, when I have my nav buttons set to auto hide I notice when trying to pick an emoji inside WhatsApp the keyboard goes all wonky. I recreated the issue in the video below:
I've switched from Swiftkey and Swype and the stock keyboard just to make sure it was just WhatsApp that was the problem. I'm sharing this with their devs in case it can help with an update to fix it. Not a major problem just a strange and funny bug that I came across. Have any of you noticed something similar?
Nope, works perfectly fine for me. Just verified with Swype and Samsung keyboard.

Oh it's so good to know I'm not the only one having this issue. Yeah I encounter the same thing you do. Tried submitting this issue to whatsapp devs, but they told me this has got to do with the phone itself, not the app. So I resorted to using Samsung smart tutor for some help. After some extensive tinkering by the technician, it was still the same. So in the end, I was told to go to a Samsung service centre where they can help me out in detail sighs...
One thing I've tried that can totally eradicate this issue is to not have the show/hide button option on. Turn it off(yes I know this means you'd have to have the navigation bar there at all times) & this problem will go away...
I'm still very confused though as to whether this is a problem with whatsapp or the phone.
I have reinstalled whatsapp and solved the problem

Youre absolutely right. It solved the issue for me too. Which is baffling though. The Samsung technician uninstalled then reinstalled whatsapp again on my phone, & there wasn't any improvement after that. But doing it by myself now solves the issue lol.
Thanks yeah
finally i found something about this kind issue!
i have a problem like this, but in my galaxy s7. that comes since the android 7, but persists in the version 8.
I already try to reinstall the app, but without positive results.
here is a little different. almost always when a change from the whatsapp emoji back to swiftkey he lag almost like in the video. looks like he starts all over again instead os just show again. the worst case is when i hold in some message to respond, but the bugs happen and i lose my selection.
Someone have another ideia to solve this?
In a galaxy s8 from my friend he has the same issue in android 7, but when upgraded to 8, started to works fine.

I have the Infused ROM 1.5.3, and every so often I'll go to type something, and no letters will show up in the text box! The keyboard thinks it's typing, and even the predictions show up sometimes. However, no text is ever typed into the text box. Sometimes restarting my launcher fixes it, but lately I've had to resort to restarting the phone. So frustrating. This happened on Infused 1.5.0 too, but it seemed to go away. Now all the sudden after upgrading to 1.5.3 it's happening a lot. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

this might sound weird but i swear the only problems i have with my phone are when im connected to our microcell. texts failing, keyboard not working, widgets not responding, calls not calling until 7 minutes after i hit "call."
Not sure what causes it or what to do to fix it but I have had the same problem on Refuse 1.6 and 1.7 mainly when using Andchat (irc client) have encountered it less in yaaic but have never experienced it in other areas of typing (messaging, browsers and such)
Sorry not of help but its not just u.
I've had the same problem, with no ROM on my phone at all, rooted stock. However when it happens to me i can just hit back until im at the home screen and then open the text message app up again. It always works when i do this. What keyboard are u using? ive got the "Android 2.3 Keyboard."
i have that keyboard, too. and the samsung and swiftkey. none of them work. what's even more bizarre is that it seems as though when i'm connected to wifi AND the microcell, i can't send texts or make calls and that's when my phone freaks out and the keyboards don't work. i turned off my wifi today and my texts finally sent and i haven't had an issue since.
Yeah had the same problem. All I did was just closed my text and reopened it. Kept doing it until it worked again.

Same problem
I've had the same problem since I got my phone, I've been searching for almost two years on how to fix this problem, usually people don't believe me when I post on this. It seems to get worse the longer I use it and eventually it gets so bad I have to reflash my phone. I'm pretty sure its an app that I use, which would explain why I don't see it at first as I don't backup my apps, just redownload them when I need them. Is there an easy way to get a list of apps from your phone that we could post and cross reference? It doesn't matter which keyboard I'm using. It seems to happen mostly with the default SMS messanger, though it might just be that I use it the most and thats when I notice it, it does happen occasionally with other text fields.
Just as described, the keyboard won't type when I initially open it. The keyboard seems to be working, predictive text works, but nothing appears in the text field. If I wait, type on the keyboard a lot (maybe thats just part of waiting) back out of the keyboard repeatedly or restart the app it seems to fix it temporarily. It doesn't seem to matter which apps are running when it happens.
Any ideas people?
I was constantly having this issue on the GB ROMs I used. In both revenant and infused it would happen. I could recreate it by letting my phone lock while the keyboard was open. It always happened to me in stock messaging and Google Voice because I would pause trying to think of what to type. It became so annoying having to kill the app responsible or sometimes restart my phone that I decided to switch back to JB. I'm on the unofficial CM 10.1 now and haven't had one issue with the stock keyboard or Google Keyboard.
I never did try another keyboard or messaging app. You could try forcing your phone to stay awake longer if you notice the same thing I did. If it's just happening randomly then I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you besides that the jelly beans are delicious; you should give into peer pressure and try one.

I have had this issue with my Infuse also, running CM 10.1 Cyber sgs-IV style ROM. It isn't as bad as some of y'all though, it seems to just hang for a few seconds while I'm typing, then the words will catch up. Only seems to happen when I have between 200-500 messages in a thread, so I was thinking it was a memory issue.. but I'm no developer.
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?
Its been my second month with my gnote pro 12.2 and im starting to have problems. First there will be some random press on my screen, ramdom apps will just pop up even tho im not touching its icon. Letter "N" on screen keyboard sometimes doesn't work, when im typing very fast it'll skip the letter "N". When im sliding it side to side it'll bring up the whole slide page even tho im just using one finger. The slide effect won't go through, i have to slide the whole page from left to right or vice versa. The worst thing that i experience is its like its acting that something is tapping on the screen very fast you will see the icon up and down really fast and you really cant do anything to stop it but to wait until it hangs up. cant shut it down, back and task button doesn't work. Home button works but can't shut it down, itll just reboot it self.. It's driving me nuts coz basically i left my laptop at home so i have to work from my note and right now im working on a site.
My device is on full stock, i haven't done any tweaks on it. And im using the wifi version SM-P900. I recorded a video of my gnote pro 12.2 using my g3 and pardon me for the quality since i have to convert it coz the file is so huge. It is a long boring 8 mins video showing my device is acting weird.
TURN OFF THE VOLUME (i can't find android video converter that removes the sound).
0:44 - you can see that it change the highlited email even tho im not pressing anything.
1:02 - its brings up the whole page screen. Im just using 1 finger to slide.
1:20 - menu button doesnt work. It hangs a bit and pops up a balloon.
1:35 - this is where it started doing crazy stuff.

Auto brightness on the camera of your phone made it hard to tell since the rest of the scene was too dark so answer these few questions: Do you have a case on it? Does that case turn on/off the screen when opened? If you do have a case have you tried reproducing the results with the tablet removed from it?

Seems like it was protesting to having todisplay the image of the Apple building...
In all seriousness though, could you turn on 'Show Touches' under Developers options? (Tap build number 7 times under About Device if you can't find Dev options.) It may have phantom touches.
And try the above suggested solution of detaching the case if you're using one.

Thank you very much for the respo se. No i don't have the case for my note im using slid on pouch for 12" notebook to keep it safe i stead. I never accide taly drop it either. Im also having random error message like "can't arrange alphabetically" sometimes "internal server error". I also got very few apps installed si ce im usi g this device as my laptop, i needed every storage space of this device, what im using most is hancom apps and autocad also chrome, default email apps a d sometimes skype.
Im not gonna edit this message so you can actually see how letter "n" misses.
Im using the default screen keyboard of the device. Tho the problem is not present if im using bluetooth keyboard. Im planni g to do a factory reset but the problem is i can't do that till i got home.
I just hope that this is more on software issue than hardware issue. Also, it happen often but randomly so i can't figure out what apps causing it.

Yup, sure ill turn it on and observe, thanks for the idea.
That rules out the case issue. These tablets are sensitive to magnetic fields and will act up in the presence of magnets, that's why i mentioned it earlier. I was careful in how I asked because some will be in denial about whether or not their case has any magnets hidden within the case.
If your tablet is indeed showing phantom touches the next logical step would be to factory reset and observe the tablet for a while afterwards. You'd have to reinstall all of your software though so make sure to back up all of your files first. If you do go this route I'd suggest refraining from logging into your google account when you set up the device from a reset OR if you do log in, don't opt into auto backup/restore of the device. This will keep the device from installing previously purchased software making it easier to monitor it BONE STOCK to rule out the chance of your issues being software related. If you can do this and the tablet has issues bone stock then it could be a hardware issue with the digitizer . .

The only problem right now is i can't do that till next week. Or ill start to upload my files with dropbox and ill just borrow a laptop. My main suspect actually is google chrome, this month i think i receive 4 updates with chrome and since then i started having this issues. I really hope that this is just software issue, sammy cust service here in ph is absolutely ridiculous.

If you suspect it's chrome, go to settings > application manager > all > chrome > erase data and cache, and then uninstall or disable it. (depending on the available options).
As for the keyboard, can you give swiftkey a try, see if that has the same issues?

Yes i think that's the culprit. Im in the middle of backing up my files now coz i decided to go for a factory reset. Ill observe how my device will behave on full stock without users apps installed.
As for the keyboard, yes ill install swiftkey.. somehow it makes me ask myself, why the hell am i still using the default keyboard?
Anyway, thank you for all the inputs, ill give it all a shot.
After going back on full stock, no apps being installed, and testing for 2 days, sad to say but the problem still exist. Il give it another try and will flash stock rom, this will be my last resort and if things still not fixed, maybe its time for this beast to have its repair and vacation.
Hi all,
I have this annoying problem that occurs ones a day or twice and I have to restart the phone because of it.
Sometimes for no reason in different apps when I type or even use the touchscreen I have this annoying bug that the phone presses the screen few times when I press it just ones, for example when I try to type something it presses the letter 5 times instead of ones and its practically unusable untill I restart the phone.
Any one had this problem before? Any ideas if there is a way to fix it?
I am using the stock is, with Google launcher on top bu this happened even before I used the Google launcher. All stock here and I am using the 16gb eu variant of the phone
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions
Have you try it factory reset?
No, nothing like that yet to be honest
Seems my huawei ascend mate is having same issue, Have you managed to solve the issue. Share so that I also can try..?

I don't have this problem with my HAM7, though I did previously experience it with an old Sony Xperia. Like you mentioned a reboot temporarily fixed the issue but I had to ultimately do a factory reset to rid the phone of this annoying bug.
Quick question: are you using the original charger that came with the phone? That was another thing that I noticed with my Sony. Its stock charger had died and I replaced it with a cheap third-party one found in the Chinatown of my city. This seemed to trigger this bug, and also caused screen taps to register way off compared to where I physically tapped the screen. This continued until after the factory reset, but still happened when the phone was on charge.
TLDR: Do a factory reset. If that doesn't help it'll probably be a hardware issue.
Hope this helps otherwise good luck!
Ok , listen
when this happens
go to settings , manage aps ,running apps .. then force close FB messenger .. it will be solved that's a bug in fb messenger. u will c

I'm using 8/256gb MIUI 12.5.1.0 global version and I have some issues.
I can't upload anything anywhere from gallery or any file manager. It's really annoying. I would attach a video I've recorded here, but I can't.
I'm having more and more problems with this phone. Photos don't save to gallery, so I had to use Google photos and some third party file managers to do the job. It forces dark mode on every app when you have dark mode turned on, even when it sometimes looks ****ty and I had to turn off messenger heads, cause they disabled them and instead, now they look square and don't work like they're supposed to, so I had to turn them off. I've created this account just to ask this, cause I felt like you people might know what's going on. Thanks in advance.
Looks Mike 12.5.1 is a public beta (have it on my phone as well)... File a feedback report to POCO, post some comments at Play Store... and wait for upcoming update of MIUI or switch to some custom ROM.
Edit: after turning on MIUI optimization, most of the problems are fixed.

Same device, same issue. I had it on MIUI 12.0.5 and have it now on 12.5.1 (both debloated). It believed it was because of the debloating but reading this it might be a problem only on the 8/256 GB version?
I can share from MIUI gallery but not from any Messenger (WhatsApp) or Edit App (Snapseed). I always need to save the pic/video and only then I can share. So annoying.

Had to look this up (was not sure if debloating killed it). Had to reenable the developer settings again by tapping multiple times on the MIUI version in the About 12.5.1 section.
Then Phone settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Turn on MIUI optimization (was off)
So I enabled that and so far checking it it really seems to solve the issue. Weird that this is causing such file sharing problems.
So are you guys saying that it may be a better idea to buy the 128/6 version because the 256/8 is really buggy?
It's MIUI that is buggy. 256/8 is fine.
Other custom ROMs do better.
MIUI optimizations is just crap.
Firstly, someone at xiaomi was drunk who chose a name like this.
If its turned on, i have experienced, few apks fail to install.
Once its turned off, you can install those apps, but then whole of UI is messed up(like circle icons go square, and dont know what else..)
So basically miui chose to hinder people of turning optimizations off, by deliberately introducing these kind of wiered issues.
I just cant handle miui .. just cant.
No one should use MIUI.. its just a piece of CRAP.

Lately ever since the last update, my Poco x3 phone, which I purchased in January of 2020/2021 has been acting rather weirdly.
Before the update or patch I could easily edit my documents, now it won't let me write anything or it double collies the text/writing or puts it in odd places that I didn't command it to do so, this is really annoying because it means my work turns into Gibberish.
I've tried everything from a hard reset to uninstalling then reinstalling my apps, but nothing works.
I even tried to o email Poco about this problem but all my emails suddenly vanished once I seid send like they never existed, also my work has been mysteriously disappeared like I deleted it when I know I didn't.
Anyone else having these problems?
If so why, and is there an easy fix?.

Best fast easy fix is get a custom rom and get rid of miui...
Now on a serious not, you may need to wait for next update to fix it or take the phone to a xiaomi service center for them to try fix it...
