‘Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped’ – How To Fix

I have rarely seen ‘Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped’ messages on Android but when I do see them, it seems to take a lot of work to get rid of them. The keyboard is fundamental to how we use our devices so it isn’t possible to live without it or easy to work around it. So how do you fix it? This tutorial shows you how!

The Android keyboard is a separate app from the core OS. This is a good thing in my opinion as it can be controlled and developed separately. You can also replace the default keyboard with third party ones like Swiftkey. As it is a separate app, it also has a separate process which is also a good thing. It means you can restart it and even replace it without affecting the rest of your phone.

Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped

Here are some things to try when you see ‘Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped’ messages.

Restart your device

A reboot is always the first thing to try whenever a device goes wrong. It resets everything and drops all processes and files in memory and begins again. It fixes 90% of issues with devices and should be the first thing you try here.

You can restart the keyboard app separately if you don’t want to reboot your phone.

1. Navigate to Settings and Apps.
2. Select System apps if you need to.
3. Select Gboard or Google Keyboard.
4. Select Force Stop.

The exact name of the keyboard app depends on your version of Android. I use Android Pie and it’s currently called Gboard. Yours may differ. As long as you are looking at system apps, you should be able to see your keyboard app.

Reset keyboard app settings

If you have been messing around with your phone or have recently installed a new language pack or app, your settings could have been messed up.

1. Navigate to Settings and Language and Keyboard.
2. Select the default keyboard and default language to the correct settings.
3. Or select Reset settings if it all looks okay.

A quick retest of the keyboard should tell you if it worked or not.

Clear the keyboard app cache

If the restart of the device or keyboard app doesn’t work, it might be worth trying to clear the keyboard app cache. This drops any files being held in memory or ready for access by memory when the keyboard app is used. By clearing the cache you force the device to reload the cache from scratch.

1. Navigate to Settings and Apps.
2. Select System apps if you need to.
3. Select Gboard or Google Keyboard.
4. Select Storage and then Clear Cache.

Again, your keyboard app could be called something different, same as above.

Update the device

Occasionally, a faulty update can cause apps to crash or to error. This could be one of those times. Forcing an app or phone update will ensure you’re running the latest version of Android and the latest version of your keyboard app.

Connect your device to a wireless or 4G network and open Google Play Store. Update all apps that have updates available. See if there are any core updates for Android too. My Samsung Galaxy S7 has a specific setting for this in Settings and Software Update. It tells me when the last update was. I can then check that against the release schedule online to ensure I’m up to date. Other phones will likely have something similar.

Replace or reinstall the keyboard app

If none of the preceding steps work you have two options. You can remove the original keyboard app or replace it with a third party keyboard. Either should fix the ‘Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped’ error in its tracks.

To replace the keyboard app:

1. Open the Google Play Store.
2. Search for ‘keyboard’ and find a good free keyboard app.
3. Download and install it onto your device.
4. Select Yes when you’re prompted to use it as your default device keyboard.

To reinstall the keyboard app:

1. Navigate to Settings and Apps.
2. Select System apps if you need to.
3. Select Gboard or Google Keyboard.
4. Select Uninstall and then reboot your phone.
5. You will be prompted to select a default keyboard, select Gboard or Google Keyboard.
6. Allow your device to download and reinstall the app.

If none of those steps work, there is something more serious going on. You may have no alternative than to perform a full factory reset. This will delete all your data and settings so back up your phone before you do it. Hopefully you shouldn’t need to do that as it means spending ages setting up your phone again!

Thanks bigtime…had the same problem n followed the instructions outlined above n it worked…after nearly two weeks without texting

I tried this and it didn’t work. I have the BLU studio 5.5C.

Same for me nothing changed

Hi benaya,
sorry for the late reply. Which Android version are you using? Did you try to “force stop” both processes and then clear the data and cache? If not please do so. Cheers

I did all the process that u have been provided, but suddenly nothing happens.. do i need to wait a couple of minute for the results? Please help..

I now this was for benaya but I used that tactic and I couldn’t press the cache and it still didn’t work.

I’ve installed the ROM – JellyTime 4.3 Beta 6

I have cleared the data for the app Android keyboard (AOSP)

But, I don’t see the app Dictionary Provider on the All Apps page, rather I see “User Dictionary”. But, ‘Clear Data’ button is disabled for this App. I clicked on ‘Force Stop’. But, nothing changed. The phone is showing same pop-up “Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped on Android “…

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Hi Manohar,
since you are using a different ROM settings might differ in your setup. Either way, try searching for processes starting with com.android.inputmethod.XXX in the process list. Your ROM might not show you the pretty name of the process. Hope that helps. Cheers

Saya sudahh mengikuti langkah” tsb, akan tetapi tetap saja tidak bsa mengetik walaupun kata “sayangnya keyboard AOSP telah bberhenti” sudah hilang… Tolong solusinya gg bsa ngetik nihhh 🙁

How to Fix the error “Unfortunately, Android Keyboard Has Stopped”

So you take your Android device out to send a quick message to your friends that you will be late for the lunch you had planned with them, and suddenly your keyboard bails out on you. No matter how much you try, it does not seem to be working. You love your Android for all the hasty messages that you can send through it whenever you want, and now you see the message “Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped.”

Undoubtedly, you want to fix the problem quickly. If you are looking for solutions to fix “Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped,” read on. The answers should work on most Android devices, including Samsung, HTC, Sony Xperia, Motorola, LG, and Android devices.

Solutions for “Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped”

Solution 1: Restart the keyboard

Restarting the keyboard can be very effective in solving the problem. Several readers found this to be helpful. While some reported that the problem returned later, others found the problem to be a one-time issue which was solved when the keyboard was restarted.

• Go to the Settings menu of the device.
• Scroll down to the Apps section and Tap on Application Manager
• Swipe to go to the “All” tab
• Now look for the app Android Keyboard and tap on it
• Now tap on Force Stop to stop the keyboard

Exit out of the Settings menu and go back to using the keyboard and check if it works. If you happen to use a third-party keyboard or if the device manufacturer has installed its keyboard, then you should look for the keyboard that is in use. Like Samsung, users will find that they use the Samsung keyboard, so you must look for the Samsung keyboard under apps.

Solution 2: Restart the Device

The app may have some issues. A device reboot can solve fundamental app problems and can fix simple glitches in the device. Restart the device and check if the keyboard works. Many readers have found this to be a permanent solution for the problem, but for those who see the problem coming back, try the other solutions.

Solution 3: Clear Cache and Data for Keyboard

Clearing the cache and data of an application allows you to remove files that can be possibly corrupted or create problems because of bugs. While deleting the cache files does not delete any important information, you will lose your settings when you delete the data files from any app. If you had made specific changes to the keyboard, you would lose those settings. You will have to go back into the keyboard settings and make the changes once again.

• Go to the Settings menu of your device
• Tap on Application Manager or Apps (depending on the model of the phone you are using)
• Swipe to the tab which includes “All” apps
• Now look for the keyboard app. It can be Android Keyboard or the keyboard you are using if you have installed a third-party keyboard or the manufacturer’s skin on top of the stock Android.
• Tap on the keyboard app
• Tap on Clear Cache
• Now tap on Clear Data
• Tap on OK to confirm

Once the cache and data files have been deleted, restart your device and check if the keyboard is working.

Solution 4: Clear Cache and Data Files for Dictionary App

The dictionary app is closely linked with the keyboard app. If for any reason, you get the “unfortunately keyboard has stopped” error, there is a chance that it may be because of corrupt files in the dictionary app. Deleting these files can help solve the problem.

• Go to the Settings menu of your device
• Tap on Applications Manager or Apps
• Swipe to go to the “All” tab
• Scroll and look for the Dictionary app and tap on it
• Tap on Clear Cache
• Tap on Clear Data
• Tap on OK to confirm

Once the cache and data files have been deleted, check if the problem has been fixed.

Solution 5: Update Google Keyboard (or any other keyboard you are using)

One of our readers pointed out that the problem can be fixed by updating the Google keyboard. If you are using some other keyboard, update it. To update the keyboard, open the Play Store, tap on three horizontal lines, and tap on My apps & games. If there is an update for the keyboard, tap Update.

Solution 6: Reset the Keyboard Settings

Specific devices like Samsung devices use the Samsung keyboard. You will have the ability to reset the keyboard settings, which may help in solving the problem. If you are a Samsung user, follow these steps to reset the settings:

• Go to the Settings menu of your device
• Look under System for Language and Input and tap on it
• Tap on Samsung Keyboard
• Now scroll down and tap on Reset Settings

Check if the problem has been solved.

Solution 7: Use a Third-Party Keyboard App

Those who can let go of the keyboard app they are using choose a third-party app for the default keyboard and use it instead. It will not solve the problem you are having with your keyboard, but it will allow you to use a keyboard. Check the Play Store for a keyboard that is suitable for you. Once you have installed the keyboard, you will be asked if you want it to be set as default. Choose the newly installed keyboard as a default.

Solution 8: Update the Device Software

The software of your device plays an essential role in keeping all the apps running smoothly. If you have delayed a software update for a long time, then you must install the updates. Updates make sure that all known bugs and errors are fixed with the update.

• Go to the Settings menu of your device
• Tap on About Device
• Tap on Software Update or System update
• The device will try to check for new updates.

If your device is updated, then you will get a confirmation that your device is using the latest software. However, if updates are available, then you must install the latest updates and then check if the problem has been solved once your phone restarts after the update.

Solution 9: Install Updates for Google Keyboard

As suggested by one of our readers, you can try fixing this issue by installing updates for the Google keyboard. For that, navigate to the play store on your android phone and look for the updates.

Solution 10: Restart in Safe Mode

If the problem continues to persist, then we must try troubleshooting steps that are comparatively more complex. In this step, by restarting your device in safe mode, we can establish whether a problem has occurred because of one of the third-party apps. It will mean that your stock Android keyboard is the one that will be working in the Safe Mode.

• Press and hold the Power button so that the Power menu can come up on the screen
• Now press the Power option on the menu and continue to press it till you see a pop-up box asking you if you want to restart in Safe mode.
• Tap on OK and confirm

Once the device restarts in Safe mode, you will see the words Safe Mode written on the screen to confirm. Now check if the keyboard works in the Safe mode.

If it does work, then one of the third-party apps you are using may be the culprit. To identify the app which may be causing the problem, you must first figure, then try to disable the apps you had recently installed. Disable the apps one by one and determine if the keyboard starts working after disabling a particular app. Once you know which app caused the problem, uninstall it.

If you happen to be using a third-party keyboard that does not work, then you must uninstall that keyboard and try using the stock Android keyboard, or you can try installing a different third-party keyboard from the Play Store.

Solution 11: Reset to Factory Settings

If your keyboard still does not work, then you must consider resetting the device to factory settings. By doing so, you will be able to bring the device’s software back to its initial state when it was taken out of the box. It will wipe all data from your device, and you will also lose all third-party apps installed on the device. Ensure you back up all data not to lose necessary data once you have reset the device.

• Go to the Settings menu of your device
• Tap on Backup and Reset
• Check the box which allows you to back up your Google Account
• Tap on Reset Factory Settings
• Tap Reset Phone

Once the device has been reset to factory settings, you can check if the problem has been solved. You can then restore the data and continue to use the device as usual.

The solutions for “Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped” will work on most Android devices.

How To Fix “Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped working”

Suppose you are using one of the devices from the Samsung Galaxy S series or Samsung Galaxy Note series. In that case, you may see the following message “Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped working.” As we pointed out already, the solutions mentioned above are effective on all Android devices, and Samsung is no exception.

To fix “Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped working,” try the following:

• Restart the keyboard.
• Restart your Samsung device.
• Clear the cache of the keyboard app you are using, and if that does not fix the problem, clear the app’s data.
• Clear the cache and data of the Dictionary app.
• Reset the keyboard settings. Go to Settings > Language and Input > Samsung Keyboard > Reset Settings.
• Update the software on your device.
• Some users fixed the problem by disabling Dictionary Provider. To do this, go to Settings > Application Manager > All Tab, find Dictionary Provider among the apps, tap on it, and click on Disable.
• Perform a factory data reset.

One of these solutions will work, and you will get rid of the error with ease.
