Moto Edge text/keyboard issues - Motorola Edge + (2020) Guides, News, & Discussion

I constantly have to reboot the Edge several times a day bc the keyboard disappears.
I am aware to clean Messages app cache. Uninstall/Reinstall my messages apps and keyboards numerous times.
Moto says I need to do a factory reset which for obvious reasons I don't want to do.
Why would my ability to type (keyboard) constantly disappear? Why can't I get it back no matter what I do (other than reboot)?
I have had this issue with other phones but usually a clean cache in Messages fixes it or it's an issue with my keyboard.
I've tried swiftkey, grammerly and Gboard of course but it does the same with all. I am rebooting my phone in order to able to type at least 10-12 times a day.
Any help greatly appreciated!!! TIA

Display Pop Up Notifications?!?

I performed a search on here and find lots of posts about how to turn them on but nothing discussing the issue I'm having which is that they keep turning themselves back off. It's driving me insane!!!
I have a Touch Pro with Sprint. I go into settings and enable all notifications to display on the screen for new reminders, email, sms, etc. I've done both soft reset and no soft reset after enabling them and it doesn't seem to matter. After a few days the notifications checkmarks have seemed to uncheck themselves and the pop up notifications stop working. Then I have to go in a re-enable them all. I've gone through this about 10 times in the last two weeks and it's wearing on my last nerve.
Does anyone know what is causing this and more importantly know how to fix it once and for all? Is there something in the registry that keeps making it default back to no popup notifications that I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Other than this issue I love the phone!
I have noticed 2 things with the new Sprint TP:
1. They work better after a hard reset. More stable and faster.
2. There are some programs I tried out that were written for the diamond (i.e. advance config). They have caused some unwanted side effects, like not keeping settings I had intended (i.e. hardware button tap sounds always turned themselves off etc.).
If you have any of those programs on your TP, one of those might be the culprit.
Either way, I would suggest a hard reset and then (if applicable) installing each program and seeing if it's messing things up.
As follow up, it appears that Advanced Config is the culprit. I uninstalled it, reset all of my notifications to display on screen and finally did a soft reset. Popup notifications are still working strong for almost a week now!
Thanks!

Google Voice sometimes locks up while sending message

Google Voice sometimes freezes when I send an SMS. It will show "sending...", with the down arrow showing on the right side. Then, the app will cease to function.
The message will have actually sent, but Google voice hangs as described. Pressing the back button does nothing, and there is a long pause between hitting the home button and it returning to the home screen.
Going back into the program leaves it right where it left off, with the sending message and the arrow. I cannot return to my inbox or any other label.
The only way to fix this is to close the Google Voice App via task manager and reopen it. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
I have tried reinstalling it form the Marketplace and rebooting my phone. Neither resolved the issue.
try to uninstall and re-intall... clean all the cash and data
I have the same problem and I have tried the uninstall, clean the cache, reinstall, etc.
It's just a problem app on the Note/AT&T

Have had no issues with it

i've had this happen with every rom i've had on my note, even stock.. i think its a problem on google's end becuase my sensation does it too (not nearly as often) . time will tell
I've been having that same issue. Quite annoying since I'm relying on GV for texting to avoid the $20/mo AT&T charge. Even the correctly sent messages seem to lag. The biggest issues seem to be "new conversations" - once I get a few messages back and forth with the same person I don't have any issues or lag, but the first few cause problems it seems.

[Q] Many issues after JB update

I am on totally stock JB. Haptic feedback is all but gone on my device. When restarting the phone it will not save last volume/vibrate settings. Always defaults to ring only. Tried numerous volume locker apps with no luck. On reboot my folders are all black and blank for about 30 seconds. On Google now I can’t remove sport team cards. After selecting undesired card and selecting to remove it, it will disappear only to pop back up on restart. My last and most problematic issue is my texting issues(have had issue before JB update). My texts come out of order or are hugely slow/delayed. Sometimes I won't get texts until I text the person and then a bunch of old texts will come through (with hours late time stamps). I also tend to get the same text numerous times. Is this a phone issue, sprint network issue, sense or android issue? I'm guessing it's a sprint network issue. Any tips or tricks on how to fix any of these issues would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

haptic feedback low is by design. no idea about the vol/vib settings. folders could just be loading slower than on ICS. no idea about GNow. text issue are sprint. possible fix for text: from dialer...*#*#2432546#*#* hope this helps
Hard reset could fix it. But might be your last resort.

Second screen not working?

Has anyone experience the second screen not working all of a sudden? Mine is just dark with the main screen both on and off. I tried toggling the second screen on and off from the setting, reboot, battery pull, and wiping cache and dalvik but so far none worked.
It's not a hardware issue, I think, because when I open the camera, the second screen comes on for the camera Settings. Also, when in twrp, the second screen is also on as a part of the whole display.
EDIT: I can actually see some light bleed from the second screen with the main screen off. It's just not displaying information it should for some reason.

I just got mine, and something I did in the course of adding/changing/modding did the same - I lost my second screen when the phone was off, but when it was on I had my shortcuts. I wound up factory resetting and re-installing/re-configuring my apps... knock on wood, everything works just fine now. I think mine failed when I unfroze an app in Titanium that it marked for me.
About the only thing that I did before I lost the second screen is installing a game from the play store. I have uninstalled it, but still no luck. I most likely will factory reset and if that doesn't work, I'll flash stock rooted rom... And set my phone up yet again.

Same symptoms
I am on stock, albeit rooted. I froze a few apps, but I have also rebooted multiple times before the second screen disappeared, so I am not sure how anything I have done this far could be the cause.
Because I saw I am not alone, I started to do some digging. It looks like the app is located in /data/data/com.lge.signboard, which actually has symlinked directories. Not sure if its a clear indicator of the issue, but most of the directories are empty. Definitely odd.
I'll load up SSHd later and see if I can investigate more.
Did the factory reset and now the second screen works. I'm sincerely hoping that this is not a regular occurrence. I haven't liked a phone so much since galaxy s2.

I also had my second screen go funky. Haven't factory reset but I'm going to. It seemed to happen as I was also defrosting and refreezing some LG things, mainly services and such and not apps that you interact with per se. At right about the same time I noticed something else strange. When plugging the phone in, it takes several seconds for it to realize it whereas before it used to be instant. Also, the camera is very slow to load and change from the front to the back ones.
So I got a little bored
And fired up adb logcat to see if I could find anything. I don't yet know if it's related or not, but there is a message
Code:
I/[SystemUI]MiniStatusBar( 5541): signBoardWindowShow() requested but unavailable. Hide MiniActivity.
that shows in the log.
I to tried clearing cache and dalvik or art or whatever to try to get the second screen back no avail.
I'm having the same issue. Any update on this?
I too am interested in this, I had this issue occur too when I froze some applications (system apps) that I didn't think were necessary. Unfortunately once you freeze the component it blocks the screen and unfreezing everything back does not bring the screen back you have to factory reset it. Any ideas of what the service is that affects the second screen?
Second Screen symlink busybox
After reading all your comments on what you could have done to cause the second screen from working, it looks like the symlink is broken especially if you have updated your busy box. I too started to have the second screen go bad on me and I couldn't figure it out until I read this thread especially the log post. I am going to reset and ensure that smart install is set right in busy box.
Recently, the AT&T LG V10 (H900) just got root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/root-lg-h900-real-tot-make-tungkick-t3336317
I then debloated the V10 on firmware H90010f with Debloater v3.90 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Before, I decided to have the second screen off for a while, so I disabled it in the system's menu. I then advanced towards debloating. Decided to turn on the second screen again. Notice that there were issues with it. So now I'm currently experiencing this issue: the second screen does not show date, time, weather, notifications, quick icons. Only shows quick toggles if I swiped from right to left, such as sound profile, WiFi, flashlight, and camera. I undo all of the debloating, rebooted the phone many times, still the same problem. Sigh. I'm trying to avoid doing factory reset because I'm not up to reloading everything again, especially the SMS/MMS.
So, anybody found out a better solution other than doing a reset?
Update 1: It seems like re-rooting with updating the ROM with the "upgrade" option for the AT&T LG V10 to not do a full clean install does not solve the problem. I didn't lose all my personal data, but I did not gain anything that it restored system apps to previous default settings. Sigh, it's just one step closer to just do a factory data reset.
Update 2: There appears that other things were broken from disabling/removing apps (during phone calls, cannot multitask, such as switch apps or use the notification area; SuperSU couldn't generate a log correctly), so I went ahead and did a factory reset since there was no alternative restoring method. The second screen works again and so does the said apps. Looks like I'll have to be careful which apps I'll be disabling/removing with Debloater.
Uninstalling an app restored my second screen.
I had this issue as well. Camera controls were in the second screen space, the swipe to end call would appear, but none of my other settings stayed long after restarting my phone, maybe 10 min. I uninstalled some of my most recent apps, the suspect one being "Zooper Widget Pro" and the issue stopped. No factory data reset etc. This app was a launcher-type app (I'm a geek but nowhere near the tech terms used elsewhere on this site) and I thought it might be the issue due to its ability to control the home screen. I doubt it was intended to work with this arrangement. So I would look at any launchers or apps which can control the home screen before doing a reset as this exact issue was easily solved for me.
I just got the phone and set it up. the only thing I disabled was ATT bloatware nothing else. 2nd screen is only on when main one is on. Using nova launcher. I tried uninstalling and that didn't help. Is there any more info on this, can I get it working without factory reset ? I get no indication of notification right now other than sound.
I did factory reset and that didn't help either.
I have a same problem with the second screen to. So anybody can help me!
Is there anyone can help me pls!!!
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...

Anyone else with texts not sending issues?

Seems like over the past week or two, I am routinely getting errors when sending texts. Sometimes it is an MMS, other times a text to a single recipient.
Sometimes it happens, other times not. Happens on Wifi, and when in data.
If I reboot, it usually fixes it, but only for a short while.
it happens with both the Samsung Messages app, as well as the Google app.
Any ideas that don't involve hard reset of the phone? No other issues, just texts...

Having the same issue here. It seems to have appeared with this last update and is now occuring about every other text (outgoing only). I have so far been able to "tap to retry" and it sends after that but the fact that its even happening at all makes me hate this phone even more.
