[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTinkerer:
This one is fun - I'm getting an FC every time an application requests keyboard input. If I hit the Google search icon on the top left of the home screen, it immediately FCs - that's what I'm using to test.

I downloaded aLogCat to the device via Google Play on my desktop, and ran it. Here is what I believe to be the relevant log section , from tapping the search icon, to re-entering aLogCat.

I believe the ClipboardEx service is causing the issue, possibly as an interference with another app I have installed - but I don't know what, or how to give you guys a list of apps installed without just typing each one.

This issue happened once to me, and a factory restore fixed it - two weeks later, and it's back. I'm not an experience Android guy, though I am a nerd and a developer. Surely this is something fixable. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this?
