Keypad issues since update...

[NormalLikeMe81]

Ever since the update I am having issues with my Droid X keypad.  Whenever I try to type the keypad will disappear or it won't type the correct letters and it becomes quite a mess.  I thought maybe it was my texing app but it appears to be happening in any app I try to type in.  I took it to the Verizon store and the guy switched it into the swype mode and it seems to work like that, but I don't like swyping and I don't like pecking in the swype mode.  He said it was an issue with the new software but had a replacement phone sent to me anyway.  Still the same problem with the replacement phone.  Anyone else expereiencing the same issue and possibly know of a fix?

Sometimes clearing the learned words from the Settings / Lauguage and Keyboard / Multi-Touch Keyboard / Clear Learned Words helps....

Another option you can try is Smart Keyboard, I posted about this app at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/BEST-KEYBOARD-REPLACEMENT-EVER/m-p/572950 you may want to check it out..

Settings / Applications /  Manage Applications / ALL / Multi-Touch Keyboard.

Clear Cache and Clear Data.

I just had this issue so this should work for you as well.

P.S. After I did this I had to go back into Settings / Language and keyboard / Multi-Touch Keyboard and turn off the annoying vibrate when you touch every key thing. Apparantly it defaults to on.

Doesn't The Clear Data option DELETE all info for that app??

No, it's like clearing the Cookies on a computer. Everything will be saved.

The Vibrate feature i never really cared for but the sound feature is'nt to bad.  But a soon as i can get the penny jar filled up again i'm getting the Wildman preferred  > Smart Keyboard.

Thank you for clearing that up.  I was confused when the pop-up box told me this would "clear all data...etc"  Maybe I was thinking of what the option did "pre-GB."  One of my friends also has the DROID X and had used the "Clear Data" option and it actually deleted the apps from her phone! I'm pretty sure this was pre-GB as well...

Thanks again.
