Hi,
I have a android tablet running on Nougat 7.0 not rooted.
The default keyboard is AOSP , when I install any custom keyboard like Gboard, it works fine, I'm able to set it as the new default one and use it normally.
The problem comes after a reboot where I don't know why, Android disables the 2 keyboards, not only the ASOP but also the new custom one.
That means after each restart, I have no keyboard when I select an input field, nothing shows up. I have to manually go to settings and re-enable one of them, again and again...
I spent many hours on forums but found no similar issue, what mostly happens if that Android reverts back to the stock keyboard, but for me is no keyboard...
Any idea?

G2 using MoDaCo ROM v2.9 with teknologist 1.9 kernel.
I've been using the TouchPal keyboard for ages and today I thought I'd download and try some others. I've always found the Touchpal keyboard to be excellent though.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed a couple of alternatives. I selected one in settings and attempted to try it but the phone automatically used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried the Handcent keyboard, nothing doing - it still used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried to go back to Touchpal and still nothing doing; I'm stuck on the default keyboard. I've tried rebooting the phone to no effect.
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?
OK, it seems to be working again now.
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.
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.
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?
Hi there,
tried to install AOSP keyboard instead of SwiftKey, but unchecking Swiftkey in settings AOSP keyboard gets not enabled. Reboot does not help. There is no keyboard at all offered, luckily settings remembers last searches...
Any idea? Installed APSB APK from aokmirror.com, the Lineage edition.
Have you tried to keep both enabled and set AOSP as default ??
If it works, then uncheck Swiftkey and see the result ...
