Hi, just to check if anyone facing this issue with switftkey keyboard while the phone is charging. Typing on any key will output multiple random characters, and even backspace also, so making it impossible to complete a word. Anyone know of any solution to this?

No, the only real oddity is that sometimes I'll be typing, and I'll be zipping along, the type will freeze at a point. I tap back once on the escape/back button, and all the text I typed shows up. It's a weird bug. Then there's the oddity of the letters you type that don't render sometimes, like c or n, that I've found it in every keyboard I've ever installed on an Android phone.

@mustang7757 : Yes, tried but no use. I even tried factory reset my phone, and the issue is still there. I am on Huawei P20 Pro btw. And it seems this issue only occur when i am charging the phone. And if I were to disconnect it from the charging cable, the keyboard would be functioning as normal.

@BergerKing : I don't have that issue though. My issue is when i type a word, it will just output a string of random chars, and if i were to keep pressing and hold on the backspace key... it would be an endless supply of random strings. :(

Hi, welcome!
Try Gboard if same thing ?

Try another keyboard. If it still happens, try replacing the USB cable. I've seen this sort of symptom a lot (usually including other touch response oddities as well) from USB cables going bad.

Thanks all for the suggestions and prompt response. Will give both suggestions a try and monitor further if the issue still persist.
 
FYI, I moved this from the Android Apps forum to the General Help forum since the former is intended for developers to promote their apps.
 
Thanks Diddy. :)

And thanks all for the pointers and directions given, i think i have found out the source of the issue.

I am using a 3rd party charger with multi-usb ports, and once i switch back to the huawei charger, the issue is gone. I think there is still some compatibility issues using 3rd party charger no doubt it still provides fast charging. :(
