Totally out of the blue the keyboard has stopped popping up when I need to enter text into fields. This is happening in all Apps on my phone - a Samsung Galaxy Express 3 Go Phone from AT&T. I've done a "Wipe Cache Partition" but that didn't help. The Apps I have installed, none are called "Keyboard" or similar so I can't use it to try a reset. Help. Totally frustrating. I have plenty of internal storage left so it shouldn't be a cause of any issue.

Ok, found the fix on youtube. Here it is... Go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager -> (and then, for my phone at least) under "More" select "Show System Apps". Once the list of System Apps is shown, scrolldown to Samsung Keyboard and select. Then click on Storage and do Clear Data for the keyboard app.
