Hey guys, I have been having a few problems with my phone. They are more just annoyances than anything else, but I've been trying to fix this for a while and I can't seem to get anything to work.

The first problem is that the digital keyboard will not work sometimes. Occasionally when unlocking my phone the keyboard will refuse to work. For example, if I unlock my phone to respond to a text, the keyboard will pop up and usual, and when I click a key on it, it will register it, but no text will appear in the text box. And this happens with everything, not just texting. After 15-20 seconds it will usually start working again, but its quite annoying.

The second problem is that it will refuse to update to the next version of Android. I have not been able to update it since I got the phone about a year and a half ago. When I go to the section of my phone where I would normally update it, it searches for a second, then says I am up to date, which I know is not true.


My phone is a Motorola Moto G from the company Republic Wireless. Any ideas?

PS - I have tried using different texting apps, and different keyboard widgets with no success. I have also done a complete reset on my phone, didn't work.
