I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 with stock WM6.5 ROM.
When I type in Opera Mini (say posting a forum message), after a while pressing a space bar (or a comma / period sign) starts erasing the previous word. This is very repeatable. Also once it starts happening, it affects any other keyboard, including the hardware one.
At first I thought it was related to FingerKeybd, so I yesterday uninstalled it and jumped through some hoops to get my English ROM device to type in two languages using HTC native keyboard. However, it appears the bug is still there, although in a modified version - now pressing space erases letter "I" only.
The problem is only with Opera Mini - I can type anywhere else with no issues. I also have a strong suspicion that it's somehow related to suggested words option being turned on, however I use this feature and don't want to give it up.
I did submit a bug to Opera team but it was immediately dismissed as something specific to my particular unit.
I am curious if anyone else had this problem... surely I can't be the only one !
I have the same problem. Thats horrible.
Same problem here. I have autocomplete turned off but it's still happening. It will also erase "ierd" if you type wierd but won't erase it if you type starting with another letter. The crazy thing is it cleared up for a while until I did a hard reset and erased the "fix".
I don't have this bug anymore. I think it may be related to TF3D (Sense). I stopped using Sense several months ago - got tired of lags and memory issues, tried Titanium and never looked back. This seems to have also fixed my Opera keyboard issue, somehow. I've been through many hard resets (trying different things, screwing up, hr to get back to basics) and so far no issues with keyboard. It may be not related as much to Sense as to CHT running on top of it; don't know - try switching to Titanium and see if that helps.
I used to use mini 4.2 and really liked it, but couldn't use the newer versions because the keyboard is just too buggy. I don't really remember what the keyboard did, I just remember that typing was nearly impossible. I use Resco for my sip.
I had the same thing, search Opera mini forum for "kuifje_opera". It turned out to be the autocorrect feature.
i dont face this problem.. perhaps try reinstalling it, + delete cache files? works fine for me! what about in you HW Keyboard, any problems there?
same
Same problem on rx3115 ROM 1.01.11a.
wm2003SE
any fix?
Try to use Opera mini 5 beta. From my experience with opera mini for about year I can say that the previous beta version i more stable and there are few problems on the rendering of sites and keyboard input in text fields compare to latest 5.1 version. The only thing I do not like in beta version is no so smoothly scrolling vs 5.1.
It is not a Opera problem. Here is what I did and get rid off it:
- Open Start Menu
- Go to: Settings>Personal>Input
- Now you are in Input Method, from the tabs above click Word Completition and uncheck everything there. Now go on the tab Options (on the right) and uncheck Capitalize first letter of the sentence and Scroll upon reaching the last line.
- Click OK (bottom right) and exit the Start Menu.
- Thats it!
This is what I did and solve the same problem, now everything is great when typing texts.
I am using Windows Mobile Pro 6.5.3, so I don't know if it's gonna work on 6.0, 6.1 or 6.5, but considering that this is an all WinMo option, I think it would work on any WinMo OS. Try it, you ain't gonna screw anything
Cheers.
All of a sudden (in the last 2 days) Words With Friends has started to force close every time I open it. No recent system changes and uninstall/reinstall didn't help. Anyone else having this issue and any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT: Seeing this issue appear on a number of Android boards.
I am having this issue too, resorted to use my phone. And clueless on the FC.
Force Close on Words with Friends
Same thing happening to me.
Ever since 12/31 my Words with Friends "Force Closes" anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute.
I have a Xoom (Android Platform 3.2.1)
I've reinstalled WWF several times, rebooted the Xoom inbetween installs. It just won't work or update.
I noticed one thread saying an update was done on the WWF the day before. I'm hoping that the developer pays attention! I miss my WWF.
mine has been doing the same since new years. Its the Y2K+12 bug!
I skirt the issue by running version 3.51 of WWF. Doesn't rotate but it WORKS! Just google search words with friends APK
Did uninstall current version and then installed the older one.
Right. I updated to the current Cyanogenmod Nightly build of ICS (4.0.3)
After I did - everytime I try to type something fast the keyboard "freezes" and just shuts down. I don't know if it's a common issue in ICS on SGSII, cause it happened, when I installed stock Samsung ICS 4.0.3 on the phone aswell.
I tried other text apps like Handcent and Go SMS Pro. Same issue. Fast typing creates a freeze of the keyboard.
I am typing in danish, not that I believe that is the problem. I just wanted to share my experience with you here, and learn something new, if anyone has experienced the same annoying issue!

it could happen if you keep the data/settings of your keyboard after the update. clear cache/data of your keyboard. also check for the availability of your language in dictionary
Thanks for the suggestion bala_gamer. I tried it, but it still doesn't work. :-( It shuts down after typing two similar letters I noticed. Really odd error in my opinion.
Maybe I should go back to Gingerbread again.
Have you tried clearing phone cache and dalvik cache ?
Might have something to do with the system itself, bad flash ?
Yes I tried clearing everything on the phone. Everything runs smooth and batterytime has never been better. Only thing wrong is that annoying little bug, when using the android keyboard. Swype is not implemented either. I don't know if it's an old version of something related to the danish language in android.
It's a strange little bug, but annoying as hell, especially when I use my phone so much.
I've just had the weirdest bug experience ever. Or at least it was to me. Maybe its a known bug, but I can't find any references to it anywhere. (I don't really know what to search for to see if others have mentioned it or not)
I was trying to get back to the home screen, so pushed back repeatedly and very quickly. Suddenly all I could see was the wallpaper. I assumed the launcher was reloading. Imagine my surprise when instead I'm greeted with the Android language selection.
I was afraid if I selected anything it might wipe my phone, assuming it hadn't already, so did a reboot. Same thing. So, in dismay I proceeded to setup the phone. When I finished, everything back to normal. No applications missing, no contacts or messages gone.
The Samsung backup wasn't even responsible. It returned "no data" (presumably because all the data it had was already on the phone).
Anyone else experience this? Or hear of a similar bug. The only permanent effect it seems to have had was wiping half my Chrome bookmarks. I can certainly live with that. I can't be sure the phone did it, but I think its too much of a coincidence to be anything else.
New to this forum and seeking some help(obviously)
Had this phone for about 3 weeks now and I love it. I just have one problem with it.
In the stock messaging app, Kik, and a couple of other apps, my keyboard will occasionally freeze. Android keyboard, LG keyboard, Swype... They all do it.
But I can still type on it, it just won't show me a "live-shot" of what I'm typing. When I press the back button(hides keyboard), all the text that I typed would show up. For example, if I type/swype "I like cake", it won't show anything in the text field until I hide/exit out of the keyboard. Then it all the text shows up at once.
I've tried everything I know of. I've done a factory reset on the phone, I've disabled keyboards, I've uninstalled apps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! This isn't a huge pain because a restart temporarily fixes it, and this phone only takes like 45 seconds to reboot. It's just annoying since it happens several times a day.

Never happened to me....Are you stock, rooted, unlocked....if so what ROM/kernel are you running. It helps when you post as much information as possible so we might be able to determine if its something we can help with. That happened to me on my old Infuse ALOT, but i was flashing multiple ROM a day just playing around....

this is strange I have had no issues regarding this whether I was stock or otherwise. If you got it from best buy take it back and get another, I have gone through 3 LGOG until I found one that didnt have strange issues. But I also got mine early. Maybe some of the senior members have had this issue. Good Luck
Thanks for the replies. I'm not rooted and I've installed all the updates they've sent out so far. I've looked online and I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem...
I got it from AT&T(They matched Best Buy's price for me!) and I have to go there in about a week to get a credit on my bill, so I'll just ask them to try to figure out what's going on.

Swap that out when you go. Good luck !
I fixed it. Apparently one of the few apps that I did not uninstall was causing the problem. Tesla LED(Flashlight app) was causing the keyboard to freeze. I have no idea why... That app has nothing to do with the keyboard. But I uninstalled it, installed another flashlight app and haven't had a problem since Tuesday night.

Hahaha, no problem, man! I installed Tiny Flashlight + LED and added the widget to my home screen. So now all I need to do is tap the widget and the flashlight turns on.
Ya, so I havent downloaded any flashlight app, yet fairly frequently, in messaging, web browsing, and the like, my keyboard stops displaying input (sometimes even gestures in web browsing, such as swiping to move around the screen freeze too). The words and other things i change, such as where in a web page it is focused does take effect after hitting the menu key on the phone. Typing also seems to work regularly in landscape, but im not used to turning it every time i type and id rather not get used to it. It happens with the Android keyboard as well as the LG one, and might be related to the similiar freezing the google voice and swype brought, but im fairly positive i completely uninstalled those, so idk...

Hey guys I just notice this as well fresh from the att store, although I've only seen it only once. So I'm 100% sure it's not due to rooting/bootloader unlocked. My suspicion is some sort of memory leak in the LG keyboard service (it's loaded as well even though you're using android OS). I clear both keyboard data and reboot, never happened anymore since then.
