I go: Settings. PERSONAL. Language & input. KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS. 
And all that's there are Google voice typing, and the SwiftKey Keyboard 
I put there the other day. Or under Apps ALL, I _think_ the only one 
with keyboard (there are 140-odd, many with the Android icon) is the 
SwiftKey.

That's what puzzles me!

I have no apps beginning DooGee - only 5 D ones altogether; I don't 
think I have _any_ with DooGee in the name.

The ones I have beginning .com are: .com.android.backupconfirm...; 
.com.android.provision; .com.android.sharedstorage...; 
.com.android.wallpaper.hold...; .com.mediatek; three .com.mediatek.theme 
ones; and .com.wlan.wland . None are in the "Disabled" bit at the 
bottom. (None I remember installing, so I presume they're part of the 
OS.)

It's a puzzle, isn't it!
