Keyboard Disappearing Except for Predictions
- LG V20
- Android 7.0 (Nougat)
- Swiftkey 6.5.4.26
Twice in the past day or so, Swiftkey has suddenly minimized to just the predictions, the keyboard presumably off the bottom of the screen.
One time, I reset the phone, and that restored it. I wouldn't be here posting, but just a few minutes ago it happened again. This time I disabled and re-enabled Swiftkey and that fixed it...but if this keeps happening, I obviously will not find it worth having to do that each time.
I don't know how to reproduce this, per se. When it happens, it is that way in all apps. Both times it was initially in the AT&T default texting app, but that's probably coincidence, because it's what I use most.
I MAY already have found the problem.
Because this was frustrating, I got out my Bluetooth keyboard, that was paired to it but which I never use. I noticed that when I was using it, Swiftkey went tiny again.
So I turned the keyboard off, and sure enough Swiftkey came back.
The keyboard had been sitting idle on my desk for months. But recently I'd set down a remote on top of it. Perhaps a key got bumped and it was active and connecting to the phone.
But it also may be a coincidence. I'll update you if it happens when the keyboard is turned off.
