Catalina TextInputMenuAgent and Disnoted

Good Evening,

I too have a Macbook Pro and have currently run Catalina.

I also had the same problems that you stated in your question.

I fixed this problem by going into activity monitor, clicking on "CPU", double clicked "TextInputMenuAgent" and "Disnoted" and force quitted both. The problems with the crazy fast and loud fans, excessive heat, and the battery dropping faster than usual very quickly resolved themselves, and now the computer works perfectly as a computer of this price should work :-)

I hope this helped.

Thanks

Hi Mate. You are right. the problem slows down every process, heat up the CPU and drain the battery for no reason. I disabled the multiple language inputs, problem still persist - more on Disnoted. I hate very much of keep doing the force quit things. Should you or anyone still want to enjoy the Catalina, without the problem (touching wood *smile), what I had suggested (roll back to Mojave, refresh, and upgrade to Catalina) works very well. Ever since, no such problem at all. Catalina has a lot more to offer, mate. Worth considering. advise to have at least a day off just to go through the process.

same problem. I have to force quit these two process every time. but this happens to me like once in a several days. I've updated to 10.15.3. Seems this is still not fixed.

I just met this issue again with 10.15.3 when entering the desktop after recovering from deep sleep.

Another issue that 10.15.3 still cannot resolve is the occasional black screen when using an external 4K monitor.

One more issue is the high power consumption in deep sleep mode when power adapter is being connected, comparing to Mojave.

I already reset SMC & NVRAM after upgrading Catalina to 10.15.3.

All the issues go with Catalina. I never met them with Mojave on my 2018 MBP 13.

Disappointed and cannot believe Apple did such terrible software work!

Unfortunately I encountered this issue again. This workaround doesn't help.

Apple guys, pls give us a solution.

Same issue here. I have tried to contact Apple Support and couldn't get this problem solved. I tried reinstall the OS and recover from my backup none of them seem to work.

I removed this two applications and upgraded to 10.15.1, this problem still bothers me.

I have to manually kill this two process to cool down the cpu and fans.

Is there any way to solve this problem? or planning to put this issue on next os upgrade?

I didn't upgrade because I have heard that Catalina is very very unstable.

MacOS remind me to upgrade every day, and now It's OVER TWO MONTHS after the release of Catalina. so I upgrade to 10.15.2 from mojave today.

Now I meet this issue too.

I have searched Chinese forums, many people meet this issue too.

Now the CPU fan is 90%+, the power is down quickly, the CPU fan is loud.

Please don't release unstable software. The trust of macOS / Apple software is being destroyed.

PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Thanks,

Oh well... CleanMyMac claims another victim 😢

This hideous program keeps wreaking havoc on unsuspecting users' macs...

There are also other possible issues, but first of all thoroughly uninstall this ****.

Make sure to have a good backup of your system drive.

Even uninstalling does not mean things will be ok, because it may already have deleted or modified files and thus damage your system.

Also, the version of VirtualBox is old and needs to be updated.

hey guys, I had that issue and it's been driven me crazy since I updated Catalina. I went to apple store and met an apple technician. He suggested to disable the second languages input and now it's been two days and the problem seems to be solved.

I'm not sure if you guys are using another languages on your Mac with input sources.

Same problem here on Catalina, after each sleep/wakeup. Causing the battery to be drained extremely fast. Killing the two processes solves the problem, but don't know if there's any side effect. Trying to disable the language icon in menu bar, will see if it is working on my next wakeup.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the remote access applications. You seem to have philandro and cisco software. I am not familiar with those, but maybe they need to be updated. If there are no updates, perhaps you can try and see if uninstalling them helps.

Having this problem too. I might have some clue to reproduce it.

I'm using an MBP18 with Touch Bar with a Chinese(QWER) keyboard layout. And I use a customized French keyboard cover to relabel the keys as if they were in an AZER keyboard. This approach works properly after setting the primary input source to Français and delete the ABC input source. I can use Chinese Pinyin input with AZER layout. But if I add another input source, like the original ABC, it confuses a lot. With another input source depending on QWER layout(like Russian(Phonetic), though I don't quite understand why Pinyin works fine with virtual AZER layout but Russian doesn't), the problem of TextInputMenuAgent occurs far more often. I might encounter once or twice per day now but multiple times per hour when ABC and Russian are enabled. The problem started after upgrading to 10.15. 10.15.1 doesn't help.

I can't disable the display of input method in menu bar because I'm constantly switching between multiple languages. By the way I have also enabled a display of input method in Touch Bar but it almost always shows wrong information.

I guess there is quite much work for Apple engineers to do to fully settle all the problems with input sources.

Same problem. Nothing helps... Without flag icon in tray it much better, but still not too good. second big update of MacOS and again problems with few languages input. I disappointed by Apple. Especially if you just bought new MacBook Pro...

Any ideas how to fix this or how to make Apple fix it ASAP? Couldn’t work at all(
