AC Question

I can't enter my unlock code because the keyboard covers it up.

If my phone times out when I am in the messaging app of my Samsung Galaxy typing a message and the keyboard is up, the keyboard covers the pin pad when I am trying to unlock the camera. The Lock screen can not be accesses because the keyboard covers it. No amount of swiping or putting pressing return will clear the keyboard from the phone. I can't turn off the phone as the confirmation screen is also covered by the keyboard. It seems the keyboard is frozen and will not be removed. WHAT

Welcome to Android Central! Which Galaxy phone? What do you mean by trying to unlock the camera? Or is this a Galaxy Camera?

Does anything happen if you tap the Back button?
