Keyboard hiding on space bar press? Extremely frustrating...

[mikeaz0]

Hi all,

So I just got my HTC One M8 today. Unfortunately, I'm having an extremely frustrating problem with the keyboard. Whenever I touch the bottom half of the space bar, the keyboard hides. This happens every single time. I installed Swiftkey and the issue is still there. No, I'm not pressing the home button by accident.This makes the keyboard almost completely unusable unless I press the top of the space bar painfully deliberately.

I've Googled around and found nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Do you encounter the problem in both landscape and portrait mode, or just one of the two?

Have you tried going into Settings -> Language and keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced -> Calibration tool ?

I fixed it.

Did a factory reset and erase on the phone from settings. Chose to skip all the auto-setup stuff I could. Keyboard worked. Who knows..
