15 daysTry booting the phone in safe mode, when there disable or uninstall heliboard.
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.

15 daysSame 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.

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.

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.
