Is there a way to reload the keyboard after it force closes in landscape mode? Other than restarting the phone?
Is anyone else having this issue a lot?

Does this sound like your problem?

Just want to bring this up and see if anyone else ran into the problem.
I am using B003 and when I am in landscape typing, I get an error sometimes saying the keyboard had a problem. I can still type, but the text won't show up. But if I switch to portrait, then I can see the text I typed while in landscape and I can also type normally while in portrait (meaning I can see the text I type). But if I go back to landscape, again, I can type, but it won't show up in landscape and it will in portrait. This happened to me 4 times today. I think it fixed itself or I had to turn phone off and back on.

I was also interested in seeking if others were experiencing this problem. It happened to me a lot two days ago, didn't happen at all yesterday, and then happened once today. I have to turn off the phone for it to fix itself.
Are you on stock rom?

Yeah, I am on stock rom at the moment. It did it quite a few times on me last night, and it was a pain in the A!
I read a lot of posts where people are mentioning this issue. Personally I have not experienced any force closes on landscape or portrait mode while typing, however I do notice the keyboard can get very laggy at times when in landscape mode.

there are instances where it will force close, and you can see the auto correct type come up, and until you put a , or a . in the sentence and hit space, it will show up the text as well...
pain in the a!!!
It happened to me again and I think I might have isolated the problem. This keeps happeing to me when I type a long message in landscape. Usually when I think the 170 mark, it will crash on me.
Its not that isolated, seems to happen more ofter when you type long messages.

Here is another item I noticed today because I texted a lot today during work and it crashed on me multiple times. I do the Clear Data rather than reset the phone and each time, I noticed that the data is at 68 kb. Could this have something to do with it? Anyway to test and see if the 68 kb has anything to do with the crash?
I'm using a case with a magnet in it to automatically turn the screen off/on but have been having issues with the device rebooting after closing the case. I would close the case, the screen would turn off and when I'd look at it next I would see that it had rebooted as I am displaying the system uptime on the lock screen.
I've found that this only happens if I have been using Chrome to browse. If I go back to the home screen leaving Chrome in the background and close the case it will reboot every time. If I go back to the home screen open up the last used apps list, swipe chrome out then close the case it never reboots. It seems like a software issue.
I need to see if it makes any difference if I use the on/off button rather than the case and if it will reboot if the screen shuts off automatically. I also need to see if it matters if Chrome is in the foreground or background. Either way, the reboots only occur if I have been using Chrome.*
Anyone else having the same problem?
Running unrooted stock JSS15Q.
Chrome triggers my random reboots whether using case or not. Switched to dolphin, random reboots gone.
I am not saying chrome is the trigger for random reboots for everyone as I believe there are multiple causes.
I use a smart case and with neither Chrome nor the AOSP brower was I having reboots.
Just my $.02.
Chrome is likely to cause some reboots. Simply freeze or uninstall the app with eg. TB and the problem is solved. I never had any random reboots since I´ve got rid of some Google junk apps right after having rooted the device :laugh:
I prefer Firefox since you can use the Adobe Flash with it without any problems. It may be a bit slow but in the end it doesn´t matter if you wait one second more or less, as long as you can watch every desktop homepage available..
The GPU doesn't suspend properly resulting in an auto-reboot. The bug should be fixed soon:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=286378
(There is a kernel bug triggered by Chrome; a Chrome workaround will be released first.)

My understanding is that this bug is triggered by Chrome 30 beta only-- normal Chrome is fine. Google already has a fix in the works.
That may be the case for the specific bug being referenced, but there are likely multiple issues causing reboots as I have consistently triggered reboots using stock production chrome.
The thing is "reboot" is a very non-descriptive way of describing a bug (from the standpoint of understanding the real issue). Of course it is what the end-user encounters so they will lump all reboots together.
Did the unit reboot because of kernel panic, was it in driver triggered by user space apps usage of different features, was the reboot caused by android not not pinging watchdog because it became non-responsive, was there an issue with the WiFi driver or did shutting off WiFi just hide a bug in network log rotation, was there issues with elpida ddr3 memory not retraining properly causing memory corruption.
All these and many more could be responsible for a percentage of what the end-users have lumped together as the random reboot problem.
Yes, I've had reboots not linked to using Chrome beta also, but they are fairly rare (for me, anyway).
The chrome beta reboot is 100% reproducible-- start chrome beta, then put the tablet to sleep and it'll reboot under a minute later.
All of my reboots have been while in chrome. In fact, if I catch chrome being unresponsive and close it in time, I can avoid the reboot. A brief chrome freeze is the catalyst for my reboots every single time. If this thing didnt reboot so fast Id be really irritated about it. Ive been up a total of 3 days now, versus 3 reboots per day, ever since switching over to lightning.
Chrome Beta started causing my Nexus 4 to randomly reboot starting sometime last week I'd say. Regular Chrome doesn't cause any issues that I've noticed.
I suppose this is why they call it "beta" and hide it unless you have the link!
Weird, I have rebooted just by browsing this thread on tapatalk. No chrome installed whatsoever. Sigh..
I switched to CM 10.2 nightlies and my reboots are now gone.

The non beta version works fine. I use it daily with no reboots ever.

Hi. I foolishly updated to NK1 a month or so ago assuming there was a root. Since the update, I've been having some really annoying basic functionality problems with my Note 3 (outside of it feeling sluggish overall). I've gotten around keyboard freezes, input lag and general f-ups in the Messenger app by switching to Textra. The now nonexistent haptic feedback was "fixed" by increasing the vibration length for each key on the keyboard. For some apps, I've sideloaded an old version to get them to behave like they did before the update. However, there are a few other issues that I'm hoping someone may have some ideas how to fix.
1) YouTube will constantly error out when trying to load a video and my subscriptions list. The white circle will just spin and spin until it finally gives me a "video cannot load" error. If a video won't load, it won't load no matter how many times I click on it to refresh it. I'll have to either close the app and reopen it, or for the really difficult times, restart my phone. Also, if I shrink the app rather than close it when I'm done, no videos will play when I reopen the app unless I close it or restart my phone.
2) The stock camera clears its settings whenever it feels like it. Auto flash, face detection and image stabilization will randomly turn from "on" and "auto" to "off."
3) All of the web browsers (Opera, Chrome, default browser) and Google Maps just randomly hang for about 2 minutes as they try to load data from Wi-Fi and 4G signals. It's similar to what happens with YouTube but they eventually fix themselves after these long hiccups.
4) Often when the backlight turns off before the phone is going to sleep and I touch the screen to keep it awake, the backlight gets stuck in its turned off state, making it hard to see the screen. The only way to get around this is to put the phone to sleep and then wake it up. It does this at least a few times a day.
5) Pulling down the notification bar will sometimes randomly cause my phone screen to start flashing between the notification bar and the lock screen. I have to do a hard reset when this happens.
Thanks in advance for the help! I'm sorry this post is so long. I hate this update and am seriously considering going to HTC.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I have not. I was trying to avoid that if possible and use a last resort.

It's probably your best option. But first try clearing data in the offending apps. Or making sure the apps are updated, or even unibnstalling and reinstalling the apps.
Most of the time, my Note 7 is instantly responsive no matter how heavily loaded it is.
Every few hours, though, it gets into a mode with serious UI-feedback lag. In this mode, when I tap any key or icon, the corresponding click-and-vibration feedback is delayed by up to one or two seconds. Often I can type several characters with no feedback, followed a second later by a rapid-fire sequence of the delayed clicks and vibrations.
When the phone is in lag mode, the lag occurs in all apps and with both keyboards I've tried (Samsung and Google). And it's not just during typing; tapping on any icon produces the same lag. Lag mode is not fixed by closing all apps, turning on Airplane mode, clearing the clipboard, switching to a different keyboard app, or clearing the keyboard cache or data. (Clearing the clipboard did seem to fix the problem on one occasion, but not subsequently.)
Rebooting the phone does fix the problem--until it comes back again a few hours later. I've tried booting into recovery and clearing the system cache, but the problem still comes back in a few hours. I have not had time to try a factory reset. But the phone is completely stock (APH1), no power-saving turned on, no debloating or esoteric settings or apps.
As I said above, most of the time the phone doesn't have this problem, no matter how many apps are running. And when the lag occurs, the phone is not hot and is not draining the battery. So it's not a matter of the phone being overloaded; rather, it's a specific bug in the UI feedback.
The problem arises at seemingly random times. I have not noticed any pattern as to what triggers it.
Here's a video demonstrating the problem, both for typing and for icon-tapping:
https://vid.me/iYya
And just for contrast, here's a video of the phone when it's working properly, with no UI-feedback delay:
https://vid.me/GF82
Again, when the phone is in lag-mode, it lags in all apps, for typing and for all icon-taps, etc. The videos show only one particular app for illustration.

Yes this pretty much seems to be happening across Note7...hope Samsung fixes this

I exactly have the same issue u clearly described above. My phone lags intermittently and no matter what I do, it doesn't go away. After some time, magically it comes back to normal.
Not sure how to fix this.. very frustrating!

Same thing for me as well. I've heard whispers it's an AT&T thing. Been trying to fix by turning off Battery Optimizer for certain apps and using package disabled. I've noticed it's most consistently caused by locking and unlocking again within a specific time window. Like if you're using the phone, then you put it to sleep, and come back within about 10 min, it does it's lag mode.
If anyone who's having this specific UI-lag problem tries a factory reset, please report whether or not the problem comes back after that.
I did the factory reset multiple times but it didn't solve the lag issue..

After the factory reset, did you restore using backups (e.g., smart switch, directly transferring SD card) or did you set up as a new phone. I was having very bad lag. I used Smart Switch the first time. After a factory reset and rebuilding from scratch (without Smart Switch) my lag problem is gone. There is some discussion of this over at Android Central.

Thanks. That's disappointing but important to know, both diagnostically and also to save everyone else the effort of duplicating the attempt.
I'd be very curious to see if an unlocked (no AT&T bloat) N7 has the same issue on AT&T. If I get a N7, I'm hoping to wait until unlocked versions become available.
I have the same problem. It's the only thing I don't like about the phone. Hopefully they will update it soon.
All samsung phones has that. A new custom rom will fix it.
Same problem, sprint... Stock, TouchWiz. Switched to nova and it doesn't seem to have helped much.
I'm finding the problem may be gone. It hasn't shown up in the last 48 hours (compared to several times a day up until then).
There's nothing I'm aware of doing differently now, other than having turned off Report Diagnostic Info in Settings|General Management. I'm skeptical that that has anything to do with the reversal (but not quite skeptical enough to try turning it back on just yet).
Perhaps the improvement is due to an app update, or perhaps it's a delayed effect of clearing the system cache (though the problem did crop up once or twice after the cache-clearing, before it stopped occurring). Has anyone else seen the problem go away?
UPDATE: The feedback-lag returned after about 60 hours. Again, no obvious trigger. Very annoying.
Hi guys,
I am having similar issues. Most of the times the UI is pretty smooth, but intermittently it starts lagging, opening apps takes 1-2 secs and scrolling the pages isnt smooth, its very annoying esp considering the device is barely few days old. Need some fix to this, or its a dead investment!

Wait, are you talking about the same feedback problem that this thread is about? Taking a second to load an app isn't necessarily unreasonable. But a one-second lag for haptic feedback defeats the whole purpose of the feedback and is clearly a bug.

What i mean is that the lag isnt just restricted to feedback, the phone seems to stutter overall, scrolling on pages and apps is jittery. And this is noticeable since when it doesn't occur the phone is buttery smooth! I tried the google now launcher and it still persists. Turning the animations to 0.5x didnt help either.
Oh ok. Yeah, I'm using the Google Now launcher too. For me, the lag problem disappeared about 58 hours ago though. Just out of curiosity, do you have Report Diagnostic Info enabled in Settings|General Management?
UPDATE: The lag came back after about 60 hours.
Just for completeness, I should mention that after the phone went into lag mode, I also tried turning haptic/audio feedback off and then back on. But the lag did not stop.
Randomly sometimes phone hangs up and home button and back button stops responding and after a while i get 'Quickstep isn't responding' when i force stop phone starts to work fine. I am getting this issue 4-5 times in a day and is very annoying.
Is anyone else facing similar issue or know how to resolve it permanently?
Using stock Pie v067
Update:
To reproduce this issue
Open an app from Home Screen
minimize it
Open another app and minimize it
Repeat for more than 5 times till phone stops responding.
Firmware 071
I also have the same problem
Im also facing the same problem and it's damn annoying
Im also facing same problem of quick step app isn't working

Use pixel launcher or any other launcher. I used to have this problem on my stock os and I switched it to pixel launcher and it worked fine. The stock os is riddled with bugs if you want it to be bug free I would suggest install a custom ROM. I use havoc os as my daily driver . Works fine.

On what firmware are you currently on?
If I'm not mistaken, on firmware 071, Asus did release an update about launcher fixes
Still face this issue in 71. I figured out a way to reproduce this issue
Open an app from Home Screen
minimize it
Open another app and minimize it
Repeat for more than 5 times till phone stops responding.

When my phone quickstep stopped responding i close my phone then open it with fingerprint like 3-4 times then my screen will turn black but the nav bar and notification is still visible then the warning will show up
