GrapheneOS. I was using heliboard but when it updated I can’t use caps. I have duress password too but idk if that would lock it down more.o
also idk if this is the right place to ask I just need help
Have you tried powering it fully off and then back on?
Have you tried holding the shift button?
If those don’t work, I’d get a usbc adapter for a physical keyboard
caps don’t appear anyways. I don’t think I can connect stuff before unlocking the phone too cuz like it works through the usb-c port in my laptop.
Same with Lineage, so seems to be an issue with HeliBoard itself.
I ‘fixed’ it by hard rebooting, switching keyboards multiple times, and randomly it fixed itself.
lol
Plug in a USB keyboard?
shoot i forgot and left that at home
nah didn’t work, tried it on my laptop through the usb-c port with the adapter to make sure it works too. I don’t think I can connect stuff before unlocking it.
Try booting the phone in safe mode, when there disable or uninstall heliboard. After a reboot you should get the default keyboard
I am not sure if grapheneOS has safe mode, but that would work in any other android vendor.
That works, ty, I will just keep 2 keyboards from now on. It happened cuz I updated the app, I will just downgrade it too.
Yea, generally Android warns you about changing keyboards as preventing unlocking.
This is because any keyboard a user installs is a user app, and not started until after a user logs in.
Never disable the built-in keyboard (as you just found out).
Happy to hear the work-around got you in, good reminder for the rest of us.
