how come there is no answer to this issue

I don't know. But, strangely, I switched back to SwiftKey Keyboard, and I haven't had any problems. Very strange...I've been posting on Instagram a LOT more, and haven't had an issue now. I did clear out the cache by pressing the power (right), 'home' and 'volume down' buttons on restart (brings up green code commands), but that was a while ago. Just glad it seems to be ok.

Go to settings>>application manager>>all and find the keyboard you are using, whether it is the Google stock keyboard or a third party one like SwiftKey etc, clear the data and try again. Failing that, install a third party keyboard and see if the problem persists

Same issue with my S6, it only started after installing the latest update. Have tried resetting the keyboard and rebooting the phone, but no joy .

Since the update, also can't watch videos - especially on FB app - it will play for a few seconds then pause. Have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but problem is still there.

Did you ever manage to fix this having the exact same problem as you i am also on an s6 .. keyboard probs and the video pausing problems also

by

my phone too... i don't know why...

but i have the same symptom as yours.

but mine not samsung, it's Vernee X 6/128.

(keyboard hides in the middle of typing, playing vids on fb & other apps keeps pausing on it's own.)

TF happen? anyone have solution?

by

My Galaxy S6 just started doing the same thing; keyboard minimizes and videos, especially FB, stop and start. I just had my battery replaced.

Anyone with an answer for us would be greatly appreciated

I've discovered a couple additional related issues. Not only does PLAYING videos on FB a problem, but now also I see TAKING video with my phone's camera had the same symptom: start recording and a second or two later the recording stops. I downloaded the GO keyboard app, but the same thing happens with it. I've cleared the cache, but the problem returns in a few mins.

I'm considering Resetting my phone to factory settings to see if that solves it. A friend suggested that perhaps a cable may be loose. It does act similar to if I'm hitting the Back button.

i found this on another page..

I had a similar issue but did not have the third party app you mentioned installed. I was able to fix the issue by going into Settings>My Device>Language and input>Samsung keyboard, clicking on the settings icon and "Reset Settings". This reset the personalized keyboard settings (I have not noticed a difference in anything) and the disappearing keyboard issue has not been an issue since!

by

It's definitely NOT just "a Samsung s6 thing".

My BLU Studio XL2 does it and I had a Sprint evo3D that did it too.

After updating different apps in March 2018, i noticed that my keyboard was disappearing while typing and also had a drainage issue. I looked at which app seemed to be problematic (ended up being the Xperia Clock) which i uninstalled. For the keyboard, the only thing i did after resetting the keyboard (which did not resolved the issue) was to change the dictionary and language for "English US". Everywhere in my settings where Canada English was shown, i changed it to US English and so far, it has been two days that my keyboard seemed to be staying while typing! The only reason i found out about the dictionary issue was simply by reading various post and gave it a try.

Hi there,

I have had the same issue, on my old Nexus 5x. Disabling all the keyboards expect of one that you want to use did the trick for me.

Regards,

Yarik

I tried these things, but I found a fix; at least for Instagram. Go into Apps>Application Manager>Instagram (or whatever you're having the problem with)>FORCE STOP, then go into Storage and 'Clear Data'. You'll have to sign into your app again, but it seems to fix it.

Finally I have found the solution. it was from Clean Master & Super Cleaner apps I had to stop them from working in the background and now every thing is working well.

I was about to sell my phone as I did all the ways to trying to solve this issue.

I hope this will work with you guys.

Tried all of the above on Galaxy Note9. Only, and I say Only, uninstalling apps by order of download works. Make a list. App 1, no change, App 2, no change, and so on. For me, it was the 11th app recently installed (this can include updates) so turn auto update off. My Note is back to normal after 2 weeks of BS.

I was having the same issue, but my fb videos would randomly pause, youtube would back out, and even snapchat would cut out. After I tried EVERYTHING, I was thinking maybe it's an app that's causing it, for some reason I had two Pintrest apps on my phone, I dont know how but I uninstalled both of them and now my phone works with fb, YouTube, snap, and my keyboard doesnt disappear every 15 seconds. Hope this helps someone!!!

Well if your using a keyboard app for example kikakeyboard is a keyboard app well try to clean your storage and delete several of your apps and maybe even restart your phone and then let it cool down for a couple of minutes or hours or if none of this works than you delete the app thats causing this and than try to install the app again or just don't use this keyboard also I'm talking about a phone I don't know much about laptops or chrimbooks or computers sry and please subscribe to •lazy bean 0-0• if this helped you have a great day and sorry of this did not help you but I hope it does help you toodles!
