LG Keyboard has stopped

[AC Question]

My LG phone is displaying the message, "Unfortunately, LG Keyboard has stopped." I can not text or use anything which requires use of the keyboard. This phone is not even a month old yet. NOT HAPPY!!!!!

If you cannot get into your phone due to the keyboard not working and you having to type in a password for the lockscreen this will do a hard reboot and fix everything:
1. Take out battery
2. Put battery back in
3. Hold down volume button and power button
4. Options will come up
5. Use the volume button to scroll
6. Scroll to wipe data/factory reset
7. Select using the power button
8. Confirm this by scrolling down to Yes -- delete all user data
9. Select by using power button
10. Insert information
11. PHONES WORKING!!

The bummer is unless you have a memory card you will lose everything! Took me all night to figure this out so I hope this helps you!

My phone is acting up too I need help my hone is an LG optimus fuel and I run through straight talk

 

[Jacob Singer]

That worked for me. Under Settings > General > Apps > ALL (scroll left of DOWNLOADED/RUNNING options near top)

you will find "LG Keyboard" and a button that says STOP and CLEAR DATA

click stop, then clear data.

problem solved.

My phone was saying "Unfortunately, LG keyboard has stopped". I restarted my phone to see if it would work but now i have been locked out of my phone for almost 12 hours because I cannot type my password because the keyboard isn't working. I have an LG Optimus Exceed 2....I'm super anxious and ready to cry what do I do?!

 

[not_techsavy]

what phone model is this for?

 

[Elizabeth Halvorson]

Mine did the same thing today and I've had my phone for about 6 months. I can't type in my password to unlock my phone, can't answer txt, can't dial out. Nothing. I have an LG L34C Optimus Fuel through Straight Talk. Not happy at all. If this cannot be repaired I will never buy another LG item again and will report to the bbb.

Thanks for the tip! I wasn't sure what I needed to do- your idea fixed it immediately.

I am having the same dilemma, however my dilemma maybe much more dire or much more common. I recieved the message that LG keyboard has stopped, powered off my mobile phone (LG Volt) and restarted it. I'm now at the screen where I either must slide my fingers in a certain order or must enter a password to access the phone (I however encrypted my phone and must perform the latter, but since LG Keyboard has ceased, sending input to accomplish such a task is now seemingly impossible). So to the point, I am humbled and need advice to wriggle out of this connundrum; What shall or shant I do? Thank you for your time and attention.

Thanks! Worked like a charm!

 

[Donna Flood-Amaya]

Brilliant! Thanks very much, Jacob!

I have an LG Volt on Boost Mobile. I force stopped the LG keyboard, cleared the data, but didn't have to restart. I restarted the phone, and the LG keyboard is back in full action.

I just installed the Google Keyboard from the playstore and haven't had any problems with the LG keyboard stopping anymore....mostly because I just quit using it!
