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.
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
also idk if this is the right place to ask I just need help
Plug in a USB keyboard?
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.
shoot i forgot and left that at home
