My iPhone freezes while typing

Hello
My iphone 6 plus freezes while typing. doesn't matter if I'm typing a text message or a URL the problem is everywhere. My collegue at my work has the same problem. I can still continue to type when it freezes, and when it unfreeze the letters are filled in like there's no tomorrow. It all started with iOS 8
It doesn't matter if it is Swedish layout or English layout on the keyboard.
best regards Jonas

Hello Lim,
To get in the horizontal and enlarged keyboard of the iPhone, simply hold the iPhone or iDevice in a horizontal manner. The gyroscope in the device will automatically sense this and will make the keyboard horizontal.
P.S You could tell us the app you are using unless you are using the the default SMS/ Mail app, because some apps do not support the horizontal keyboard.

Can not upgrade to 1.1.3 - iPhone freezes while backing up prior to upgrade

Try to upgrade to 1.1.3 during the process iPhone freezes while attempting of making a back up. Then get a message "iTunes could not sync to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". I have reset my iSync... to no avail... Please help...Thank you...

What worked for me was to force restart the iPhone (while disconnected from docking station) SEVERAL times. After 1 force restart I would connect to the Mac and it would have an error.
I took someone's advice and restarted the iPhone 3 times, then the Mac... made sure I had latest iTunes software, and restored the iPhone to full capacity.
Good luck

My IPad freezes while typing emails. Touchscreen keyboard as well as Bluetooth keyboard. How do I fix this?

It may certainly matter that the account is IMAP. Try the following variation of the procedure to re-create the index:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move the “IMAP-” account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folder, that account may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring it back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Skype freezes while typing at random times. Window...

I'm using Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), along with the desktop version (not the app). But I also recall having a bit of trouble with this on my laptop (Windows 7 home edition 64-bit) as well.
At random times in the middle of my typing, Skype will freeze. It will remain frozen for a few minutes. When this happens, I usually just minimize it and do something else and check back on it to see if it's working. It always unfreezes, I haven't had a crash yet. However, this is getting to be very annoying. It happens rather frequently and interrupts my chat with friends.
I have already made sure that skype is not running in ADMIN or DEBUG mode, etc etc. I'm also using the latest version of Skype.
What could be causing this? And how might I be able to fix it?

Win 8.1
Using the Desktop version because, well, the modern version is unworkably stupid in too many ways to express.
30-60 second random freezes while typing. No crash. And call still work.
These type of Microsoft FAILS can surely drive a person to insanity.
Why do simple applications like these reduce in performance year after year wile doubling in file size many times over?
Years with this issue occuring and no solution from Skype. I am beyond words

TB freezes while typing in email address

While typing the address in the to: box, thunderbird freezes.
I am on Ubuntu 14-04, thunderbird 31.5.0. The behavior happens periodically and also in safemode. It seems to be when i pause typing and it tries to look up the address in my address book.
It looks like the same issue as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013192, but that question is closed.

I looked at the question you referenced. Do you have a large address book as 'tektite' did (over 5000)? I can give you a link to the daily version for Ubuntu if you would like to try it. (I run on Ubuntu 14.04 also).

Iphone 6 freezing while typing

Occasionally and enough to be very annoyed, my iPhone 6 has been freezing up on me while i am typing. The only way to fix it has been to shut down and restart, is anyone else having this problem? Do you know if the problem is being addressed. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you.

Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
then a reset (pressing Home & Sleep/Wake button till the Apple Logo appears.)

IPhone freezing while running. Help??

Hi, my iPhone 4 keeps freezing when I use it while running. It only happens during/after running, and the music will still play but the touch does not work. I've been restarting it each time, but sometimes I have to restart it a couple times for it to work. How can I fix this?
Thank you!

Hi, I did the restart one more time to do everything in order, and now it won't start back up, I just get black screen. It's been about 1 1/2 hours now, it there a restart the restart?

IPod touch 4g keeps freezing while typing

(iPod touch 4th gen, three weeks old). Seriously I'm getting so angry, it freezes whenever I try to type, or to type a simple 2/3 lined message will take MINUTES. It's like my keyboard can't think fast enough. It's not just iMessage it's anything involving typing. (internet, facebook, twitter, whatever). Yes I've restarted it many times. One time recently it went all crazy and tried to restart several times, randomly restarting and struggling to turn back on while I just let it sit there. Then it froze on my lock screen (couldn't even go dark) and wouldn't play music, even though the play button was pressed.
I know all about shutting background apps and I've tried turning iMessage off and on again, deleting my inbox, checking too make sure my iPod has enough memory left and isn't overloaded (7.2 GB available and 6.5 being used) and my software is up-to-date with the iOS 6.1.3
PLEASE help me, I am so frustrated!
Also, I've done a lot of searching before asking a question, so I'll be slightly ****** if it's just that llaass guy telling me to restore it

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Chromium freezes while typing in the omnibar

KDE base runtime 4.8.0-1
Chromium 17.0.963.46-1
AdBlock Plus 1.2
If multiple tabs are open, typing into the omni-bar will sometimes cause chromium to freeze after a few keystrokes. Removing the ~/.config/chromium directory, thereby resetting the profile, seems to make the problem go away. But allowing the profile to sync again makes the problem show up again. So it seems to be a corrupted profile, but the directory structure under .config/chromium is massive, so I don't know what exactly is causing the issue.
Running chromium under strace shows the following at the time of the freeze:
rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {0x7f3bade5dbf0, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x7f3ba97db270}, 8) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f3bad55abd0) = 20490
wait4(20490,
If I kill -9 20490, the child process mentioned in the clone() syscall, chromium resumes and continues to function normally. Upon doing so, the strace log continues with:
[{WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGKILL}], 0, NULL) = 20490
--- {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_KILLED, si_pid=20490, si_status=SIGKILL, si_utime=11, si_stime=19} (Child exited) ---
rt_sigreturn(0x11) = 20490
I suspect there is some kind of race condition involved, because the problem seems to happen less frequently when chromium is running under strace (and therefore slowed down by all the logging going on).
I am right now running on a recently-reset profile that is only syncing Passwords and Extensions. I manually imported my Bookmarks via an HTML export. I've only been using chromium for a couple of hours since that last reset, but it hasn't locked up yet.
I've looked at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129632 already, and it seems to be very similar to my situation but remains unsolved. Also, Chromium has exhibited this behavior across updates to the kernel, KDE, and Chromium itself. So I don't think it's a version-related issue that will just go away.
Can anyone make any suggestions on where to go next? I'm new to Arch Linux and KDE, so some obvious things are often Big News to me, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. TIA for any ideas or suggestions.

Ibook Freeze while typing: help

My Ibook regularly freezes (no answer at all from the computer, I must restart it with the start key) and it always happens when I am typing (it can be in various program). It did it on OsX 10.2.8 and continues to do it on OsX 10.4.2
This Ibook already benefits of the Logic Board Repair Program from apple in 2004 (I bought it in april 2003).
Any suggestions and comments are welcomed !!

Hi, Matthieu. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up, restart normally, and go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and repair permissions on the hard drive.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.
Every time you have to do a forced shutdown instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode or starting up from the Mac OS X Install Disk by inserting the disk and restarting your computer holding down the C key at the end of the startup chime. Then choose Installer>Open Disk Utility and select the disk in the left column. Click First Aid. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive. Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install CD's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on your hard drive.

Re: Screen Freezes while typing

Maybe someone can help me here. I ran into problems the last couple of days when I am typing the computer screen freezes for a few seconds,then it will blink,and let me type a few lines then does it again. I also noticed it does it sometimes when I'm visiting a news site,and going from link to link. I did run a disk cleanup,but that didn't help. I'm using a Satellite A105-S2716,and I have Windows XP-Home. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what may be happenning..Thank you for your help...

when I am typing the computer screen freezes for a few seconds..
Which applications does this occur in?
Only a browser, for instance? If so, which browser and version do you use?

Iphone freezes while messaging

earlier today i was texting someone and i exited the sms. as it was exiting someone texted me so i clicked reply right away and what happened after that my phone froze then did a auto restart. has that happen to anyone

You will find that now and then just about any application will crash on you. Remember, it is a computer and a first generation OS. Think of it like Win95.

Problems with iPhone freezing when trying to answer while on another call?

I am wondering if others are having the problem with your iPhone freezing when you are on a call and another calls comes in. I have had this problem repeatedly. If I try to answer a call while on another call, the other caller can not hear me. when I try and hang up the call...iPhone freezes and disconnects ALL calls.
I do not have a problem if I initiate BOTH calls for a conference call. I am hoping that Apple is aware of this issue and are working on a fix in the next update. Whenever that will be???
Oh well, if you are having this problem and know how to fix it...please let me know. Thanks

I have noticed that during or at the end of a conference call when one party hangs up all parties have always been disconnected. I can tell you that if this is the way it works normally, this is not the way is should work. This is a pain in the butt when it is necessary to call one of the parties back since that party is also trying to call you back. You both get a busy signal.
I do not have a problem answering a second call during a time when I am on a first call. It will place the first call on hold and I will only be talking to the second party. It should work that way. My iPhone works that way.
It should also allow you to add the second call to the first call through the 'merge' feature so that both the first and second calls can be joined together. My iPhone works that way.
My previous Treo worked great on these situations but I do have burps with the iPhone.
I think that the problem is with the iPhone and AT&T interface in these conditions.
I would provide your comments to Apple via:

Iphone 5c freezes while texting

My iphone keeps freezing while texting for about 15-20 seconds. Especially if I go back to correct a text and move the cursor. I've tried resetting all settings and problem is still persisting.

Did you try restarting your phone? Do you have space left on your phone or is it close to the limit? (this tends to make phones slower). Is it happening only when you text or also when you search something on Safari or send a tweet or anything?
