So last week I was having issues with my phone turning off for no reason and freezing at start up. I did a factory reset deleted EVERY THING (really irritating) and started all over. Since then I haven't had any restart issues. NOW today I am having trouble with ...
1. I type (in any app) and nothing shows up. Doesn't matter what keyboard I use and even if I uninstall non stock keyboard.
2. If typing DOES decide to work and I send a text it takes forever to go through and sends duplicates.
3. Also unable to dial out while having these issues. I can pull up a number in my phone book and press call and it does absolutely nothing.

Restart will fix issues for a short time but then they come back. What is the deal!?

Sounds like a bug. You’re going to hate my suggestion but…

I recommend you factory data reset the phone again. Especially if a power cycle (powering the phone off and on) or a battery pull fixes it but only temporarily (sounds software related).

After you backup and reset TRY the phone with NO apps for a couple days and see if it starts happening again. If it does and you didn’t download any apps from the Play Store then the device might be defective.

Chances are though that it’s an app or something that was added to the phone causing problems.

Also use the stock keyboard if you’re not. If the phone works fine without any apps after the reset then start downloading apps again BUT one at a time.Download an app try it for a day download another app try it for a day. If you download an app and your phone starts having issues uninstall that app and don’t use it anymore, and if it’s still having issues after uninstalling the app then do a factory data reset.

This should clean it right up.
