Keyboard problem after upgade to Oreo - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have upgraded to Oreo MHA-L29 8.0.0.370(C185) a few days ago and since I upgraded I am having problems with the virtual keyboard. It seems that randomly the keyboard stays drawn on the screen over the active application.
Sometimes, the keyboard disappears partially and some of it still shows!
The application behind it appears to be still active even behind the keyboard.
The keyboard will not disappear unless I leave the app and go back to it.
Anyone experiencing this problem? Any fix for it?
Thanks

Hardware keyboard not responding

I'm having a strange issue with my HW keyboard.
The keyboard is working fine most of the time. But there are moments it doesn't respond (ones a week).
Example: When I open the keyboard and start writing a mail it's working fine. But after two rows text it's just not reacting anymore. Even the keyboard-backlight is turning off.
When I close and reopen the keyboard it's still not working. Even the keyboard-backlight stays off after pressing any hardware button.
Solution: Wait for 15minutes.
Tried fixes for HW keyboard lag without success.
This is what I have:
T-mobile NL rom
Rom: 1.69.114.6 NLD
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Is there anyone else experience this issue with a T-mobile ROM?
Or is there a fix for this.
Thanks in advance
Assume you have WiFi on? Go into the WiFi settings and the power mode of the WiFi, if it is set to best performance change it to best battery, or do the opposite. Not 100% sure why this works but its something to do with power and comms interferance.
Mmm have seen this fix before in other threads.
Somehow i'm losing network connection when I switch the energie bar to someting else then "Best performance". Think it have something to do with my old wireless router. Will test this today on my work. Thank Gav_
Hi there,
I have seen a simular issue on my Touch Pro as well - Keyboard is not responding as soon wifi is turned on manually.
I have encountered this first while using IM (Beejive and also QIP). Having data connections turned on and activating wifi while data connections are on will stop the keyboard from responding.
Solution for me is to turn off either the data connection after turning on wifi and / or switching wifi on/off two times.
I use the stock rom and wifi energy option is set to best battery. Is this a known issue that the keyboard has glitches with wifi?
Rom: 1.90.407.4 GER
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Performence bar
Changed the energie bar a few times yesterday. To test on which position this issue appears.
And guess what?
Keyboard stopped responding when the bar was placed on the "best performance" position.
I've configureerd it to "best battery" (think this is the name, I'm having the Dutch Rom )
Still don't understand what Wifi have to do with the keyboard. Is WM using the same driver to start / stop Wifi or keyboard?
Anyway I think/hope it's solved by setting the performance bar to "best battery".
Thanks guys
still have issues with hw keyboard
I have an unsolved Issue with the Hardware Keyboard of my HTC Fuze.
When i turn on the Wifi, the HQ keyboard becomes totally unresponsive and unusable. Keyboard lights turned off, and i have to Reset or turn off the Wifi in order to get the Keyboard back to function. (it back to life after couple of minutes)
I have searched for any possible solution in the forum and google without luck
i have tried all fixes i have found in this forum so far:
-modify the up/down repeat rate
-disabling t9/cleartype
-adjusting wifi to middle, better battery and better performance
-RR Keyboard Speed Increase.cab
After all this attempts, my Keyboard still tend to die. Anyway it works well with the Data Plan, with no Lag at all. So is definitely a Wifi Issue.
Hardware keyboard Not working for Htc touch pro
Hi, My HTC touch pro slid out keyboard was working fine but after updating ROM to English it had stop working. can anyone tell me what is the problem?
I've been having intermittent keyboard issues for a while. Sometimes it won't respond until a sort reset while other times it'll just suddenly start working again. I had no idea it was a WiFi related issue. My Kaiser did the same sometimes.
Now the damn spacebar is playing up. It either identifies a press as two spaces requiring the use of the delete key every time or it just won't recognise key presses. It's infuriating. Anyone come across this before or will it require a manual (warranty) fix?
keyboard issues
I had issues with my keyboard stopping intermittently it would work sometimes and not others. It would rotate screen when I popped it out then it wouldnt type and a few seconds later the backlight on the kbd would go out. I flashed to a different rom and that helped sometimes but not others. Then right before going to sprint and asking for a replacement I flashed back to their stock rom for a week, still no kbd. But magically when I re-locked the phone the keyboard is back to normal.. still had the phone swapped out just incase it was something else. I hardly ever use the wifi so I don't think that was my issue, it was off the whole time I had the issue. New phone works great.

[Q] touch screen malfunction

hi,
I'm not sure when exactly this issue started on my phone, but I updated my touch pro with the chevron updater and have quite a lot of apps installed.
after several seconds workling with the phone, the touch screen stops working while the phone acts perfectly normal. I can use the keyboard and tilt the phone but I cannot use the touch screen anymore.
By turning the phone off and on it works again.
has anyone experienced a behavior like this?
I noticed my touchscreen becoming unresponsive when loading particular websites. Even had it freeze once (only time it ever froze on me)
What were you doing when it does this? Do you have the multitasking reg edit on?

I know this is an old thread but this is the only reference to the exact same problem that I'm having. I'm having difficulty putting this down to hardware as the screen becomes responsive again when locking and unlocking which might point to software.
It could be a hardware issue that is resolved by locking then unlocking the phone but I don't know enough about the construction of it to have an opinion.
The advice I've had from htc is to wipe the 'phone and start again but I don't expect that to solve it (especially as their call handling system refers to Window Mobile 7 - the second large commercial organisation I've seen that on in recent weeks without looking too hard!).
Has anyone else seen this since the original post or @exilkubaner was a solution found to your problem?
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I hard reset my HTC 7 Pro, but no success, my screen doesn't respond until i lock/unlock the device.
So, any one have resolved this issue since the first post ?
Regards
Had the same issue, but I didn't have any roms installed.
Brought it in to Sprint and they found that I had a fried ribbon connecting the screen to the phone. Replaced under warranty.
It happened again, I determined that it was caused by my click in belt clip/holster. When I pull the phone out, it pulls the screen away from the keyboard a bit.
^Wow. Nice find. I'll have to be careful with mine now as I could easily run in to the same problem pulling it out like that.

Keyboard becomes very slow when typing a lot of information

Not sure I've seen this before. I'm fully stock with an unlocked bootloader and when writing an email or a post of any lenght, my keyboard begins to slow down to a crawl and is almost unresponsive at times. Anyone has similar experience or how can I solve this problem.
I've had this problem for a while now, completely stock through all of the point releases. Restarting helps for a little bit. Now I swipe everything I type to cut down on the lag. I rarely turn my phone sideways to type anymore. That's one way to fix it, lol.
Only seen this happening since the last Google Keyboard update, myself. A reboot fixed it up though.

Keyboard edge miss typing => reverse letter

Hello,
I've since the update 10.5.8 and 10.5.9, I've got miss typing on the edge
When i'm typing a word starting on the edge/curve screen, the word is in 2nd position instead of 1st position :
meme => emem
pq => qp
aux => uax
autant => uatant
qd = dq
This is like pocophone when the phone get out there was a touchscreen bug for 6 months then they've fixed it so no more reverse letter
Now it's a regression from OnePlus because on previous firmware i didn't have any issue
I'm on stock rom just rooted and BL unlock
I'm the only one ?
It's happening the same to me. I'm going to try another keyboard app, I'm using Gboard.
Stock ROM here but not rooted.
Edit: it only happens to me if using Gboard, but it works fine with SwiftKey. Try it.
I've used touchpal on my old phone and with oneplus i wanted to used stock app (now i liked it, it's very difficult to change )
i've tried swiftkey and go keyboard and i've still got some miss type but not as much as gboard and i don't really like it
But this happen since latest update only with 10.5.7 i have no issue at all

I tried SwiftKey yesterday but I don't like it as I cannot switch from Spanish QWERTY keyboard (with Ñ) to Portuguese QWERTY keyboard (with Ç). Gboard can do it...
I think we have to write slower til Oneplus fixes it... :silly:
Yeah, i've open a case since 10.58.0 but we have so much isssue with google stuff
also Chrome freezing issue

But I think is some Google related problem. I was owning a Huawei P30 before OP8 (since more than a year and until 2 weeks ago) and Google Chrome was freezing also there (the trick was going to homescreen and then open Chrome back again, that fixes it temporary until another freeze hahaha). So I don't think that's related with OP8, but not sure.
I've uninstall Webview android so it's stock one and i don't have that much miss typing...
I didn't install the update from play store but for the mom i'm staying like that
I have this problem even when using other keyboards

And what does Android Webview have to do with this keyboard issue?
Another one with the same problem. It seems that this issue is fixed with Swiftkey but I don't like it at all. I've contacted with One Plus support but the only solution that they gave me was sending to RMA.
I've tried with the Android 11 Beta 2 but the issue persists...
oh double post
Really ? They may change our screen for this issue ?
This happen since 10.5.8 update before that I've didn't have any issue.
It's like a driver issue.. but it's seems we are only a few people who are affected by this issue
They can change with 8T for me
My issue is similar to yours. The error appears when I press "ai" or "qi" quickly or with two thumbs - the result is "ia" and "iq" even though I believe I pressed "a" and "q" first. On the edges of the screen, there is a small delay in input. The problem isn't unique to physical edges, as all "a" and "q" buttons can be delayed even if they are not directly pressed on the edge. My conclusion is that this confirms the existence of a software bug. Is this something that can be fixed? I find it quite uncomfortable to type with two thumbs. Would it be possible to change this? It is on a Nordic keyboard, and "q" and "a" is located right at the screen edge. There is no difference in the problem no matter what keyboard I use, including Gboard (despite its small buffer between the screen edge and the leftmost key). For practicing typing, I found a free online typing test tool to see how fast you type. Also, it will help you remember the keys. It's an easy and enjoyable way to check your typing skills.

Question Missed characters during typing on S22 ultra? (Erratic key character behavior)

Hello guys,
I have tried with default Samsung Keyboard and tried with Swiftkey and noticed that when I am typing certain words like "Allergy" or "Where" for example, it suddenly interrupts the swipe pattern and changes the word to "All" with space next to it as if there was an error registering the touch gesture as I touch each key on the keyboard. It seems that this happens a lot near the letter G.
This does not happen on my S21 ultra. Tried without screen protector, and same issue so its not the protector. Tried *#0*# and did a display Touch test and it registered everything perfectly. Tried clearing cache/data no luck. Tried disabling/enabling auto correct and no luck either.
Does anyone have this erratic typing issue?
Hello mate, yes I also have this issue, on any of the keyboard, I tried Samsung stock keyboard, gboard, microsoft keyboard, some other mates are also experiencing this issue in Yandex keyboard.
maybe you can use google translate, but this is russian forum https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1029360&st=4120#entry114129735 here is the example
also another mate already reported the problem to the samsung members and they acknowledged it
Samsung SM-S908B Galaxy S22 Ultra - Обсуждение - 4PDA
Samsung SM-S908B Galaxy S22 Ultra - Обсуждение, Смартфон, 6.8

It is a feature, the new text prediction is by GRAMMARLY, but like in this forum, doesn't work well and the cursor goes crazy.
Solution, TURN OFF PREDICTIVE TEXT.
nah, disabling predictive text does not help.
Exactly same issue on S22U exynos! Very, very annoying.
Any other better alternative keyboard ?
the only solution here is not to use swipe feature of the keyboard, as this issue appears on ANY keyboards (personally tested).
I would suggest Fleksy, as it is designed to type manually, and wait for a fix of this problem.
personally, it is one of the serious reasons to sell this phone (sadly)...
There's a thread in the Samsung members app about the same exact thing, it started with the April update. I haven't gotten the May update yet, I'm hoping it will fix it but I don't have that high of hopes. It's definitely a software bug though.
Did anyone try to rollback to a March firmware?
Also, if someone received May update, could someone confirm that issue is resolved?
Thanks
it is NOT fixed, yet...
UP.
Seems like swype is fixed with the newest update S908BXXU2AVEH.
I'm currently on it and checking that everything is good.
Can someone confirm that?
I've experienced the same wonkiness described by the OP with SwiftKey on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7. In fact it happened while typing this on my Tab S7. I'm not able to consistently replicate it though. Or at least not able to purposely replicate it.
Okay so I've been experiencing this same issue and this is everything I've found so far.
The issue is when swype typing on any keyboard. I enabled touch pointer in dev options to see exactly what was going on the screen and what's happening is for example when swype typing the word "everything" the screen recognizes when touch the E and begin moving towards the V but it loses the touch and detects it again so it thinks you finished typing a word and started again therefore the word EV is put on the screen and a new word is started. This is very aggravating. I've noticed that it happens a lot with words starting with E, A, W, S and if you notice those are all in the same area of the keyboard.
What I've done to fix it. I use film screen protectors instead of glass. I thought the SP were too thick and it was messing with the touch sensitivity but i tried several and nothing changed. I tried various settings in the phone especially the touch sensitivity option for screen protectors and turning it on definitely helped but the issue remained.
What i did was take the screen protector off completely, leave the touch sensitivity option enabled in settings and the issue is completely gone. So the issue lies somewhere with the sensitivity of the screen and screen protectors limiting the touch sensitivity.
This is all I've got so maybe this info will help anyone having the same issues. Hopefully Samsung will adjust the sensitivity in upcoming updates.
No worries, mates
This issue was fixed with June update
I have already installed it, running for 3 days, everything is working great, no problems with swipe typing
S908BXXU2AVEH
I can confirm also that the issue was fixed in the latest update.
