[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jwalkinc:
If this has been covered, forgive me. I didn't find this to be a known issue in searches.

I'm rooted with stock JB (DEODEXED), latest firmware, s-off . I'm having keyboard issues.... getting intermittent non-responsive letters. It will not recognize certain letters at times when texting or emailing.

Is this a known issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Check the unrooted bone stock issues im typing by location memory
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jwalkinc:
Will do, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
Maybe it's since the JB upgrade, but my keyboard keeps resetting to the Default Samsung 3, from Swiftkey 3. Could also have been from installing the Swiftkey Flow beta.

Anyone else experience this, and what can I do to stop it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] king200:
I think if you go to the buglist at swiftkey.net you'll find you aren't alone. I'm using the Swiftkey Flow beta and this problem hasn't occurred...yet. You can turn of the Flow feature and it becomes a regular Swiftkey keyboard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffdaman:
I use Smart Keyboard Pro off of the market and the same thing keeps happening to me. By that I mean I don't use swype and my settings keeps rolling back to the regular keyboard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sthodupunuri:
I've found that these problems can sometimes can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffdaman:
I did a factory reset and it still happened.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sthodupunuri:
Could you describe how this is happening? Does it switch keyboards after you use a certain app, or does it just switch at random times? One thing you could try is to disable all other keyboards under applications. This way, the phone has to keep using your keyboard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MobileNick:
Happens for me after a reboot. Always goes back to Samsung keyboard. Once I change to SwiftKey, it stays that way until the next reboot. As others have said, seems like a bug between JB and SwiftKey 3 (without Flow beta)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffdaman:
It happens every time I restart and then it would happen randomly while using the phone. I thing Task Manager by Rythm Soft was killing Smart Keyboard but I got it on the ignore list now; and so far it seems limited to the restart. It's not possible to disable Swype or the Samsung Keyboard. They are greyed out on the list.

To the O.P. you should check any task managers to be sure Swype isn't being killed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
Same thing is happening to me. Always after a restart it falls back to the Samsung Keyboard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brorex:
If you guys are rooted make a back up of the Samsung keyboard then delete it. From system/app i know that worked on the early sprint JB leaks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
Anyone try this, and what does it default to if you do remove the Samsung Keyboard? I have several inputs, WiiMote, PS3, etc. If I have to keep changing the default back to Swiftkey, then this option would get annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Boomer6345:
Known Bug with Work-Around

This is a known bug with JB 4.1.x.....

Swiftkey has it mentioned in a bug list as well as Google in a bug list...

It has something to do with apps getting installed differently and storing app data differently with JB. When a phone reboots the storage location for that app's data is not mounted or available right away so the app can't load and therefore the phone switches to the default keyboard.

Happens with a few other apps like AT&T Vooicemail Viewer.

The work-around is to root the phone, backup the app with Titanium Backup, uninstall the app, then restore it without data. Then set the keyboard as default and it should stay that way after re-boots.

Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
Might wait for Google or Swiftkey to fix the bug. If I restore without the data, then I lose all the words Swiftkey has learned.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MobileNick:
This is really odd. A few weeks ago I downloaded the SwiftKey Flow Beta and this problem disappeared. That is, after a reboot my default keyboard would stay on SwiftKey Flow Beta. But yesterday SwiftKey released the official version 4 with Flow integrated. And now the problem is back - reboot makes Samsung Keyboard as default.

So what did the Beta do that was so special that it would stay after a reboot??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00345:
Same. Reboot causes the problem. Not a huge issue, but odd.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
It's a change in the way Jellybean handles how Google Play apps are loaded during boot process, since they happen after the keyboard gets loaded, it reverts to default.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
correct. since the play store installs apps in a location (on your JB device) that is not immediately scanned during the first part of boot up, thats why the stock keyboard is loaded. however, to fix this on my wife's unrooted/stock S3, i found the actual swiftkey apk then downloaded and installed it onto the phone. this placed the apps info in the correct storage location that is seen on boot up. i do not condone downloading apps you have not paid for however i did this for her as she and i have both paid for swiftkey on all our phones/tablets when it initially released on the play store. i dont have this swiftkey issue on my s3 as it is running a custom rom. cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
Where would this location be?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
via a google search
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Boomer6345:
Sorry if this was already covered...but I read a post at the Swiftkey site that the issue is with Paid apps on JB. Not all paid apps of course...but some paid apps like Swiftkey install to this special storage location that is not available soon enough during the boot process.

The 4.x Swiftkey beta was not a paid app so it worked...now that the beta is released it is a paid app and the Swiftkey 4.x release in Google Play has the issue again on JB just like 3.x did.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MobileNick:
The storage location for Play Store apps vs Beta makes a lot of sense! Thanks everyone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dratsablive:
Thank you very little!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I did all the searching myself for this fix a month or so ago. I don't remember where I found the file which means I would have to do the research all over again. This is your problem and I pointed out the solution. Want me to come over and do it all for you? Too many people want to be spoon fed on this forum. Go get an iPhone and be ungrateful somewhere else
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jonny Steele:
So i paid for the Swift Key app, and having the same issue where it defaults back to Samsung after reboot. Im all stock, would this method work for me? Where can i find the APK and where do i install it, or do i need to if its already installed on my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
This should not be with the way how apps are loaded.

My wife has touch pal keyboard installed. And she is on stock n rooted. And after multiple reboots over the last couple months, she never had her keyboard setting revert to default one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
this method worked for my wifes s3. it should for you as well. i dont remember where i located the apk download. you'll have to google search that out. download/install it and yer all set.

unfortunately this is what's been going on with the play store and swiftkey on 4.1.1 jelly bean (for the i747 at least). what version is your wife running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxsicknessxx:
Check data media folder delete anything out move anything to data media 0 folder. Extra folders can screw with settings
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
She's on AT&T stock, running 4.0.4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
i believe you may be referring to a 4.2 issue. my wife's s3 is stock unrooted. there is only a media 0 folder. my s3 is running aokp 4.1.2 and i have just the media folder. this has only been happening, to my knowledge, on stock/unrooted 4.1.1. no extra folders on 4.1 and below
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jonny Steele:
I just went to SwiftKeys website and they say its a known issue and have no way of solving it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rocknmj:
I saw this thread a couple days ago and was slightly relieved to see that I wasn't the only one having this problem. But I was curious to see what would happen if I just froze the Samsung keyboard (I used Titanium Backup) and now after I reboot, SwiftKey is the default keyboard. So far it is working fine. Wish I would have tried that earlier!

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] random hero:
Click Flash, choose the firmware and check wipe Cache and wipe data.

If anything goes wrong User Sony Ericsson Update Service to unbrick your phone.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gagu.436425:
can you please give me drivers for tipo...please
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] SammiSaysHello:
i think you can install tipo drivers by going into settings ->development and check 'debugging mode'. After, connect to pc via usb and drivers should start installing
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] satan89:
Actually drivers come in the flashtool package. After installing open c/flashtool/drivers (I'd you installed here). Then install the last 2 options (flashnode and fastboot)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gagu.436425:
which option i have to select during flash '' flash mode or fastbootmode''
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
If you're flashing firmware, always 'flashmode'.

The name is pretty self-explanatory. Flashing > Flashmode.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gagu.436425:
is there any way to revive from hardbrick
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
Only a Sony engineer or someone who knows a real lot about electronics in such a mobile can fix hard brick. Hard brick means that hardware is probably broken.

But does your phone show any sights of life? Like does the led work when you plug in the charger. Then your phone is probably not hard bricked.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I have a Sony Xperia Tipo dual (ST21i2) Android smartphone which I tried to instal CyanogenMod 10 on. I managed to unlock the device in fastboot mode (according to instruction on Sony webside) and tried to flash it, but I think that I didn't place all the right files in the right folders for flashing because according to the instruction the device should reboot after flashing, but it didn't. I waited for 15-20 minutes and nothing happened so I disconnected the device from my PC. Now the when try to turn on the device the led flashes red 3 timed, then a short pause and then again 3 red flashes and so on it loops forever. So it seems that it is not completely dead yet. When I connect the device to my computer it is not recognized. In fact, Windows does not see it at all so I can not use Sony Flash Tool. Can anyone help my how to finish te installation of CM10 on my device? I have understood that you can force Xperia Tipo to install system form SDcard. If it is true how do I do that? Which files should be put on the card and how to force boot from the SDcard?

Yes, unfortunatelly I tried to flash with fxp 152. Later on I read that it has an error. And now I can't flash with 151, because the device doesn't go into fastboot mode. It just flashes red and my pc does not "see" it anymore. Is there any solution for that?

Now it only comes on with 2/3rds white display.

Flashtool stops, says one time connected with debug mode off.

PC Companion wants me to enter in repair mode the SIM code.

Did not yet figure out how that should be possible.

Any advice so far.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] xbricked:
Actually my Tipo comes into fastboot mode and flashmode.

But I have no idea how to recover in fastboot mode.

Tried Sony PC Companion repair mode with another SIM withoutz PIN, it says no software found for my device :(

Flashtool at some point stops in flashmode with some "Header whatever" error message.

Trying Sony Erricson now. But do not knw why it should be different as it already says at install it is on computer (PC Companion)

Did deinstall it and install SEUS.

Can I recover somehow manually in fastboot mode?

Update: SEUS tells me my fone is fine :) no new software available, newest software is installed on fone.

Why does Sony even block the possibility to safely root your fone?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] satan89:
Header problem is probably because of improper download of file. We actually should provide md5 checksum with file to verify download. Try redownloading file and flash.

Probably Google rule that you shouldn't give root instructions t company devices (to reduce piracy maybe?)

Flash got stuck at about 41% tryied again immedtiatly, again flash got stuck, this time at 21%.

Rebooted the fone, it took a while to start up, but it came back and seems to work.

The Bootloader was open by factory default, so I did no change there.

Now I am back up with 11.0.A.22 World unbranded at least.

Way to go is back to 11.0.A.16 and root it and then upgrade again.

THX a lot to you. Really helped me.

I need to run the ICS version of AOSP because the JB version doesn't have USB-DAC yet.

The most recent AOSP ROM I've been able to find is this one:

cm-9-20120916-NIGHTLY-d2att

That is the 9/16/2012 version of CyanogenMOD 9. Does anyone know if any dev's anywhere have continued updating the ICS AOSP ROM's? Could you provide a link or filename that I can google?

I've searched everything I can think of and I'm pretty sure I'm on the most recent release. But thought I'd reach out again to double-check.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Nope. Everyone is now focused on 4.2 Jellybean.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sp00nix:
There seem to be lots of ROM options coming to fruition, but they all seem to be half baked and development is slow. Why not have the Dev's team up and make one awesome ROM? It is getting hard to choose between things like a working GPS or a working camera(for example only).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ninthsense:
Well first of all what do you term as slow ? Samsung gave us ICS in 8 months with major bugs, withdrew it and then released it again after 2 months. Whereas the devs here had already resolved those bugs.

Again CM10 is a tough one as this is the only device with CM10. The target was end of the year but look at it we already have CM10.1 as well. So the devs here are faster than the team at Samsung who get paid for it..

As the base is the same drivers and source written for CM10, all the ROMs based on it will have the same bugs.

GPS and camera are no more an issue. I've been using the camera on my CAMP rom and no issues. Also past 2 days I've driven for 600 kms and no issues with GPS and everytime it locks under 30 secs and works very well.

For me the only major bugs left are

1. Keyboard backlight - known solution

2. Sym key - known solution

Rothorick is working on the above two and will surely come up with a fix soon. The term half baked is not something you can use for ROMs being used as daily drivers!!!

[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
Just be glad we get anything at all. We only have one main dev and only a few others helping the process. These roms WILL get finnished but only in due time. Just take some time to relax and be patient. I have faith in dman and all his hard work is greatly appreciated here. Its the holidays let dman have his time to himself.
