Help Bringing up keyboard crashes apps

[uporabnik2]

Hey!

I have a problem with my keyboard on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S. Phone is non-rooted, non-modded. Android version: 4.0.4

Keyboard works fine, but when I try to use it in some apps, those applications crash (YouTube stoped working; unfortunately browser stopped working etc.). So.. apps run fine, until no keyboard call is made.

Apps where keyboard doesn't work:

• Facebook when sending messages and using search
• Facebook messenger app
• Browser when google searching (also other search engines)
• YouTube when searching
• Gmail (default email app works)
• Google Keep and also Evernote
• Twitter when tweeting and searching
• etc.

Apps work fine but as soon as I try to bring up the keyboard, that app stops.


Apps where keyboard works fine:

• Google search on Mozilla browser works
• sending SMS
• PlayStore
• Facebook when updating status
• Google Quickoffice
• Calendar
• etc.

What have I already done:

• Instaling other keyboards
• Deleting and clearing data/ adjusting keyboard settings
• Reseting phone (3x) with 'Automatic Restore' checked and unchecked, powering off, removing battery
• full factory data reset: deleting everything and starting fresh
• clearing clipboard
• Software update, System update
• I also ran Xperia Diagnostics (useless tool btw)
• virus scan (Avast)-> everything is OK.
• I spent 10 days searching web, trying to find a solution

I think that I did everything possible and still no solution showed up.

Please HELP! Anything!!
Thank you!

Hi,

I do have the same issue. Did you fix up the problem, if yes please help me too.

Try downloading older versions of the apps. Maybe the apps aren't compatible with your phones keyboard? You can download older versions by searching for older apk files. Hope this helps!

So... I did as you said 4KTECH. I went to androiddrawer. com and I downloaded the older versions of all the apps that were not working properly.

It worked only for Youtube.. Facebook still not working, the same goes for Google keep.

I tried downgrading Google play services and still the same result.
