Searched the forum but didn't see anyone having the same problem I do.
Just got the Note a few days ago but I have an annoying problem. Whenever I exit and app or unlock the phone to the home screen, the keyboard will just pop up by itself. It'll go away when I hit the back button.
I've tried removing all widgets and apps from the home screen and it still shows up.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Thanks.
i dont know on that one.
I had a similar problem with android in general.
Normally i would have the keyboard out and type something then hit back or home and the keyboard would still be there until i hit back again.
Happens a few times here and there on a few different phones.
But it seems like your saying its happening all the time?
Try to clear out the cache and see if that helps it.
Also check the ram on the phone and see if there is any apps staying in the memory that could be the cause. (3rd parts apps)

I just rebooted for the first time since getting the phone. The problem has seemed to go away.... for now. Should have done that before creating a new thread lol.

Last week I updated my x1 to WinMo 6.5. Okay, so no problems, nothing really as a big deal. And then just last night my speaker/mic stopped working almost all together.
People can hear me, very faintly, if I yell at the top of my lungs.
Now I doubt it's 6.5 doing this, but just letting everyone know that it's there.
Any solutions? It's not call volume or anything like that, I've turned every volume knob up to the max and still no good.
Reflashing back to WM 6.1 is free and will help confirm whether it is a hardware or software problem.
Yeah, I guess I'll probably try that, it's sort of what I was thinking too.
Before reflashing, try a hard reset. (since you're going to lose data anyway from the reflash)
It might be a 3rd party app that's causing the problem.
Now, I just started getting into this whole "scene" here if you will . So how exactly do I hard reset?
And could anybody give a link to a page to downgrade?

Easiest way is 'Start > Settings > System' then 'Clear Storage' it'll be like it was whne you pulled it out of the box. You'll lose your contacts, messages, apps anything else you've done it it since 1st turning it on.
Back-up what you want to keep 1st.
Oops, I'm wrong, you installed 6.5 on it. Sorry.
So, I downgraded it back. Speaker still does not work, and now the screen goes blank when I slide it up. Any thoughts?
I had the problem that when I slide screen up the screen goes off. I sent back to sony and the replacement they sent is also broken! Now no one can her me when i talk. I tried to record a soundclip and its just fuzz.
Had the phone for few days and a problem when i clicked for example the "MESSANGING" on my home screen it lead to aim screen to i click back it went to another app then i lcicked home i went home and clicked messanging again and it went to another screen of a app why isnt it go to messagning? it works now but it did that twice!!!! it froze everytime i tryed to quickly share a photo via facebook it froze one time there.well a new problem happened..... i locked it the nwhen i lciked the power to unlock no puzzle unlock wasnt there it was just my backround.. then i keep lockign and unlockign no puzzle i shut the phone off and restated?
Your best bet is to wipe your phone and flash a fresh rom onto it. What rom are you using?
its regular updated 2.2 nexus build number FRF91 idk anything else? its not rooted
Oh ok so purely stock.
1. Backup all your contacts:
*Open Contacts app
*Press menu softkey, select Import/Export
*Export your contacts to sd card
2. Go to settings -> privacy -> factory data reset [THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE]
Your phone should restart, and you should be good to go.
thanks bro... why u think its glitching liek that because maybe all the apps i got like 20 from market and task killer? or what can it be? by the way i factory restored it once not because of this problem but jsut to clear all apps quickly... so i just did it lets see how it goes from now....
No problem, I'm here to help.
I remember reading recently that task killers from the market actually may do more harm than good. I don't exactly remember why, but that may be your problem...
P.S. I always thought task killers required root...I guess you learn something new every day
hahaha true true.. so these problem u heard about before or first time?
I've never heard of your specific issue but anything is possible
gotcha so right now i download most apps such as aim,calorie counter, magic marker, pandora, yahoo mail, drink recipe, shazam, shopsavvy, WHERE thats about it.. no task killers no battery displayers no nothing.... hopefully this problem wont occur....
Good. Just send me a PM if you run into the issue again
gotcha.. thanks anyone got any ideas why it would occur..... apps? virus?
Were you using a program to customize the icon? Like Folder Organizer?
nope.. but i did have astro zipper program i had lock up 2.0 i had werid thigns just got a habit of downloading i enedup delting lots but problem occured i just did a factory reset so far no problem.....

From what you're explaining, its seems you're experiencing the touchscreen issue. Most if not all of the N1's have this problem. It's a known defect that HTC chooses not to admit too. As of now there's only a temp fix which is to press the power button on & off. Its a problem that randomly occurs. There's nothing that'll specifically trigger the problem, it just happens when it happens. Flashing to a custom rom will not solve your problem becuz its hardware related. If you haven't voided your warranty in any way, your best bet is too warranty exchange/repair your device until its fixed.
ya im going to call warrernty now and see what the deal is!
My keyboard has started having problems. I hit 1 key and 3 other type and not what I hit. When I try to delete to correct then 7 or 8 other figures type out.
I have rebooted (cold restart) and still having problems.
Any suggestions besides wiping and reloading?
Thanks,

You may try other keyboards. I was having the same issues with the GB board. Switched to swifkey. It is a paid app but I have no issues with it.

Sounds like you got a dirty screen. Maybe a little speck you don't notice. I've had that before. Dampen a paper towel or cloth with water and give the screen a good once over. Finish off with a micro-fiber cloth, if you have one. That's what I do when what I touch isn't being recognized properly.
I installed a 'freebee' keyboard and that seemed to clear up some of the problems but it occasionally messes up. It is something I can live with till the next reflash.
Thanks all...
I was having the same problem and read somewhere that if your nook is charging by being plugged into the wall charger the keyboard acts crazy.
As long as I don't have it plugged in my keyboard is fine.
Keyboard will not display anymore (Clicked Gingerbread in settings)
I'm having an issue being able to get the keyboard back. While in the N.C. settings, i clicked on Keyboard to see what options were listed in there. There was Keyboard, and Gingerbread Keyboard as two options. i clicked Gingerbread but now do not see any keyboard come up on display when i click into any field that is editable.
Any ideas of how this is reset or reloaded to the normal keyboard? I am new with the Nook so i'm not real familiar (obviously).
thanks in advance.
Under apps go to NookColor Tools
then choose keyboard and go back to the regular keyboard
Thank you
Hey i just found the NookColor Settings, that is where i was, not the native settings menu. this allows the switch back to android keyboard..................
And i just saw the response above. Thank you as well for that!
Now if i can just get GMAIL to login for me. I believe there is a thread about getting rid of the cache from youtube and gmail (since i had already logged in under my name before the root that i performed, the NC isn't accepting the login it just returns me to sign-in / sign-up screen). If anyone has that in their memory please post the link, or i'll search around for it.
I didn't see this little fact posted so I'll do it. When you change the keyboard that you're going to use, and it's the first time entering text, do a long click on the text input window. It should come up with a pop-up window asking you which keyboard you want to use to enter the text.
Hope this helps.
hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
Hi there
I have a really annoying problem, that happens maybe 3-4 times a week.
Take the example that just happened today, I'll be using my phone writing through messenger, and then suddenly the flow function doesn't work in swiftkey, but I could still write messages and get responses.
Then when I hit the home button my screen goes black: *Don't know how to link to pictures on a new profile*
I can still pull down the notification bar, and pressing the recent apps let me see the title for the last app I used for a split second before it goes dark again.
I can even open my camera app, through the physical button, and when I returned it looked like this: *Can't post pictures*
I can always fix it by restarting my phone twice, the first time it doesn't register the sim card, and after the second time everything is working and back to normal.
I've considered factory resetting my phone to see if that would work, but I've so many apps and settings customized, that it would take a very long time to restore, and even then I'm not even sure it will fix it.
Could it maybe a hardware issue?
It happened on 5.0.2 and still occur after the 5.1.1 update
I really need your help guys.
