[Q] Google Keyboard issues - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Serious bug when making calls

There is a serious bug with the built in phone app , I was wondering whether any of you are suffering this.
When you dial a number manually and hit the arrow to delete one of the digits, the phone goes berzerk, starts dialing loads of 0pw00's and locks up.
Same happens when scrolling through the contacts on the phone app (not the standard contacts app) and tapping the forward hardkey to change from say a Mobile number to a Home number for the listed contact
Nop just tried it all is good.
Not experienced that problem, but i have experienced another problem in the phone app.
when you select a contact in the phone app, and push either left or right on the scroll wheel to select the next available number in the contact, i.e. business, home, mobile2, etc, it will just keep scrolling until you reset the phone. really annoying if you want to select a number other than the default number for the contact.

Yes Yes! I just tested it and it happens.
The thing is, I managed to break out of the loop.. Not sure how, but I kinda repeatedly pressed all the HW buttons, etc
Now I can't reproduce it.. hmmmm

happens here also but only if i try changing the number with the "go right" button. "go left" works. interesting because it is the third ROM and in all 3 of them i had the same problem.
My problem go so worse that I could not press any hardware buttons in the phone app. Sadly I had to hard reset. Now the problem has disappeared, but I have yet to install any apps onto my device..
I have none of the above problems

Got the same problem on the call history but not all the time
French rom 1.37.406.1
Got another two annoying bugs:
- the clock that show minutes after minutes non stop (1Minute per second)
- a part of screen not updating on the SMS/MMS application
Okay the bug has returned sadly... After I spent hours reinstalling all of my apps.
The problem is not limited to the phone app, it happens when I tap any key on the SIP or press any hardware button - a bunch of text is pasted.
I created a txt document and tapped a button so I could copy all of the crap it pastes,
it is attached
This is driving me nuts and makes the phone unusable. Im certain this is the fault of software rather than hardware. Can anyone help?

To me it seems like one of the 3rd party apps that you installed is causing this. If it was me, after a hard reset I would test it after installing each app to find the guilty one.

Same here. But luckily I don't have to reset the phone. By pressing some buttons randomly I get it out of the loop. But it's annoying all the same! Doesn't happen every time though... that's quite strange. Don't know why it goes wrong, so I can't do anything about it.
i have the same problem!! hope the coming new rom can help!
Could be a third party app, I thought. So curiously I went through my installed apps list. First on the list was remote desktop mobile (the new version with the device mapping feature which doesnt actually work) - So, I uninstalled that and voila, the bug has disappeared.
Bad news is that I really need remote desktop. Perhaps I installed a bad CAB. Anyone have a decent cab that is proven to work?

Can't switch keyboard type.

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.

Calling all Google Keyboard Experts

Ever since I updated Google Keyboard I can't use the S Pen for gesture typing anymore. Every time I hover the pen over the keyboard it automatically types whatever letter the pen is being hovered over and makes a mess of random letters. Needless to say this is very annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to make it stop? I have air view turned off.
Thanks,
Jeff
No Google keyboard aficionados out there?
Same issue here
I have the same issue. Only happens on the Google keyboard. S Pen starts typing about half inch from screen. Whenever the s pen gets near the keyboard it starts typing gibberish like crazy. Any advice as to why would be appreciated.

I downloaded an older apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312179
I downloaded v3.0.19423.1102675a. It was the latest version that still had the option to adjust the long press delay and didn't freak out when I tried using the S Pen to type.

No Google Translate button and two Agenda buttons

When I first set the watch up, I remember seeing a Google Translate button, but I had to do a factory reset to get it to recognize Watchmaker. Now I have no Google Translate button (a big reason I wanted this watch) and two agenda buttons. Any ideas how to fix this?
I don't have the solution, but I thought you might like to know that you're not the only one with the problem. I installed Watchmaker, too. Uninstalling didn't help.
System: Wear 1.4.0.2576000, Play Services 8.7.03 (updated today), Android 6.0.1, Build MEC23G.

UPDATE: I uninstalled and reinstalled the translate app on the phone and it reappeared on the watch after re-syncing.
UPDATE 2: The duplicate icons are due to a "recents" group at the top of the list.

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?
