Can't switch keyboard type. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! All. anyone having this problem? When i'm in sms, whatsapp, LINE or any apps that allow keyboard to type, i can't switch the type if keyboard i want. I have the Xperia Int'l keyboard, the Xperia Chinese keyboard & google pinyin. I was using google pinyin but when i want to switch to Int'l keyboard or Xperia Chinese keyboard, it doesn't respond. I have another friend also having same issue.

When the keyboard is engaged, pull down notifications, click on the keyboard within the notifications, and change from there.

Post your favourite keyboard app

What's your favourite keyboard app?
right now I'm using the default one..
Swift key 3
And the default one

Swiftkey (paid app)
Definitely SwiftKey.
With the function that scans your written sms, I'm often able to write messages right through the predictions

Deffo SwiftKey 4 with flow, it doesn't lag with the revolutionmod messaging app and the predictions are spot on. Also, flow works really well and it's really fast. I don't use flow alot but it's a nice feature to have to show off what Android can do when compared to iOS. I recommend SwiftKey, it's the number 1 paid app on Google Play for a reason: it's amazing.

Swiftkey 4 for me too :good:
Just bought SwiftKey and it worth the money lol. But that "select input" notification every single time I use the keyboard its annoying! And even the most is knowing that it won't go away because its a system thing. -__-''

I don't get a select input notification every time I use it ? just the first time I reinstall it after I've flashed a new rom .Have you set it as your default keyboard ? (I know it's a daft question lol )

Well, I've searched everywhere for any "solution" of this, and as far as I know it's system notification. In last versions we had to press on the input and then we selected which keyboard we wanted to use, in this version of Android supposedly its the way to change the keyboard we want. Yes its setted up as default keyboard. Swiftkey says its nothing with them, it's a Android System thing, so nothing to do.. lol

It's still really strange because I don't have this issue ? Maybe some of the other swiftkey users can chip in with their experiences ?

The same thing used to happen to me when I was using greenify, don't close the app with a task manager or anything else...keep it on ignore list. By the way, you should've tried the apk from the internet .
I'm typing this response on my phone and there is a keyboard notification in my notification bar. It does say select keyboard. Maybe the reason that it shows up in the notification bar is because you have a choice on what keyboard to choose.

Well, it depends on the Android version you're with. I'm with the original one without any ROM, so its the 4.0. If you're using any ROM with any different Android version, it might be because of that you wont get the notification...

[Q] Google Keyboard issues

I love the Google Keyboard from the play store.
When I'm editing text with that keyboard though, sometimes the word I am editing repeats itself every time I press a letter or backspace.
Does anyone else have this issue and/or know how to fix that?

Don't worry, its not gone. Try flashing Latest Gapps Package and a new Keyboard mod like honami keyboard or xperia keyboard via recovery, that will fix it for sure, if it does not, then next time before updating/reinstalling the firmware, backup and factory reset your device first. :good:
Maybe you deleted Google Search app? Voice input is integrated in this app.

Swiftkey Keyboard settings with Null Rom?

So this is the only keyboard that I've tried that gives me the mic for voice recognition. Problem is for example when I open it via the web browser, it takes up the whole screen and then some so you can't view all the characters/letters. Trying to find the right DPI/Font settings or whatever I need to get it to fit right. Anyone have a clue?

Question Annoying WhatsApp Problem

Hello Community,
I got a really annoying problem with using WhatsApp and hope you can help me out.
Like every time when I open an existing chat with someone to check newcoming messages my keyboard automatically pops up.
That would be no problem if the newcoming messages also scroll "up" but that doesn't happen and everything is "hide" behind the keyboard layout so I have only two options.. scroll down or close the keyboard layout by myself. Hoped it was just a software issue but there are no updates available atm
Does anyone face the same issue? Do you have any solution yet?
Btw I'm using the app SwiftKey keyboard app from microsoft but also tried other ones and all face the same issue....
Thank you in advance for your support and have a nice day.
Best regards.
Hi! Not having this problem. Also using SwiftKey, and phone is on version A20.
The keyboard pops up only if I click on the text bar. When I open an existing chat, the cursor is on the text bar already. I remember disabling gboard, spell checking, speech input... I don't know if they can cause your issues.
Also have SwiftKey and i can't replicate this problem. Did you already try deleting both apps/data (make chatbackups) and reinstalling them?
