Hi guys,
my sister is having a problem with her S7 and I don't know how to help her.
She was having trouble with the keyboard crashing while using the space key, thus I tried to reset the Samsung Keyboard in the settings.
Unfortunately, her battery isn't a good shape and while resetting the keyboard the phone just turned off.
Now, when she turns on the phone it asks for the encryption password but the keyboard just doesn't appear, no matter what.
What would your suggestions be for this? Would wiping the caches solve this?
Any hint is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Reflash firmware or all gona to default settings - hard reset phone.
That's what I wanted to avoid but unfortunately I couldn't find another workaround. :-/
Anyways, thank you!

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.
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.
Hi folks,
I am having problems with my S6 G920-F.
Whenever I open Google Maps, the phone starts to lag, freeze and eventually it needs to be rebooted by hard reset. Also the font just goes nuts and characters are gone missing ht*p://s12.postimg.org/m5c6mejwd/Screenshot_2015_11_20_21_25_52.png
I was running on Android 5.0.2, then recently upgraded to 5.1.1 but no improvements so far. Did a factory reset a couple of times, booted in safe mode, but the problem keeps on appearing.
Any ideas what else to try, or no choice and send it to customer service?
Thank you very much.

Did you do a factory reset from Recovery Mode? If not, do so.
yes I did the factory reset from recovery mode, and the same error kept on appearing...
The same problem here
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
