Just wondering if anyone else's Tilt is acting up like mine, the keyboard when sending texts will sometimes miss a good bit of key presses and I have to go back 3 or 4 times to register the key.
It worked fine at first so I figured it was something I did so I tried a hard reset and after about 30 minutes it started again.
yup - my keyboard has been crappy since day 1. i often miss key presses and the 'click' feedback isn't there on some presses.
never had a problem with my 8525s - had 3 of them and the keyboard was always flawless.
waiting for a store to get more stock so i can see if have a faulty keyboard.
yeah i have strange problem with my keyboard too. it only seems to be missing key presses for double-letters, like the 'pp' in 'happy' or 'll' in 'hello'. the second letter sometimes doesn't show up.
its strange because typing things like 'apapapapapapa' quickly over and over again, it doesn't seem like any of the letters are getting dropped.

is this with the AT&T rom? the HTC rom? or both?
this is the at&t rom, without the bloatware installed.
With all the crap that AT&T did to their ROM, I don't know why anybody on here uses it. I had it for half an hour before I couldn't stand it anymore and switched to the HTC ROM.
same bug with german t-mobile rom... its like the device is busy.
unfortunately the same on HTC Tytn II German Rom too.
so is this a defect with the hardware or the software? i dont want to bother exchanging it if it happens on every device.
disable word complete and auto correct and see if it works a little better
did for me
dld
I experience missed key presses but rarely. I do however experience a probelm when using shift quite a bit. If I want to capitalize a letter I hit shift and then type the word, sometimes it will also capitalize the second letter. So Happy would be typed out as HAppy. It's annoying going back to fix it!!!!!!!!!!

didn't work for me. German HTC ROM. Only happens if double letters are typed quickly. second letter gets lost. it is definitely a bug!
I noticed that the "C" button I have to press harder to get it to work.. I'm going to see if I can have my tilt replaced ..
Just info no solution.
Using HTC shipped ROM
There are two issues outlined: Repeated letter getting missed and Shift causing capitalization of second letter as well as the first.
Issue one I cannot reproduce even with auto correct and word completion set to on. No matter how fast I get the letters in, both letters appear. The implication is that it may be a ROM issue, but also of course may be due to other apps installed. Less likely to be hardware, except in as much as some people may be pressing less firmly for the second letter???
The second issue where after pressing shift two letters instead of the first only are capitalized. I can reproduce this but only under fixed circumstances:
1.
There needs to be a clear release of the first letter before the second is pressed. So for example if you hit (shift) then an "A" with your left thumb and "L" with your right thumb the both letters will be capitalized if you are still pressing the "A" when you hit the "L". Never will it then give a third capitalized letter because clicking the second letter cancels the (shifT) key.
2.
If the first letter and the second are very close together say "D" and "E" it is possible to move from one to the other without releasing the first and again both letters will be capitalised.
So in conclusion I think this happens when either the letters are imediately adjacent to each other or if the first letter is not being released fast enough ie before the second one is pressed (easy to do if you are using two fingers to type quickly)

ya, this is an issue with the kaiser and the tilt (i've owned both). It was the samew ay with the blackjack. This is VERY annoying and i would LOVE to find a fix for it.
Thanks,
re: Mike
thanks for the test. it does seem like it would be a software problem, but i have installed both the att and the cooked rom from the kaiser upgrading forum, and they both have the double-letter problem.
i tried it right after i loaded the cooked rom, so i dont think it would be any software i loaded. and whether auto-correct/word completion on, it happens.
anyone else have any ideas?

some just posted this in howardforums:
have you tried changing this?
Start->Settings->Buttons->Up/Down Control and make the delay short.
i tried it and it seemed like it made it better? it doesn't seem to refer to the keyboard but it works i think...?
hello i'm using the official latest rom from the HTC site...i have a problem with the hardware keyboard...what happens is that when i'm typing, the characters take too much time to appear on the screen and many(almost always) times characters are missing and i have to retype them...when i bought the phone it had hyperdragon III and the problem was the same but without the part "characters missing"i have tried 5-6 other roms and the problem is still not solved...does anyone know how to fix this?i am 99% sure that there is no hardware problem from the keyboard cause that would mean that some certain letters in the keyboard are broken...but in my case it happens on random letters every time...thanks in advance!
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try the speed increase .cab in this .zip
The hardware keyboards are notorious for going wrong on Kaiser.
thanks for the advice...i installed both cabs and then did a soft reset...the difference is not big and the lag keeps going but the characters missing issue got a lot better...stil not perfect...thanks so much...
That's cool glad it helped, good job you got a Tilt or your keyboard would be messed up as the other .cab is layout for keyboard Like i said the Kaiser is notorious for the keyboard gettin bad, mine i have about 5 keys i have to stomp on with thumb
really starting to feel like i have to get rid of this phone...it has so many good things but sometimes i forget i have a phone and feels like i have a really old crappy pc which freezes all the time...maybe it's the time to buy an HD2
HD2 would be nice "mind you think i'd get a Rhodium for keyboard", i use Raphael as no contract still better than Kaiser especially now have me own custom ROM rockin away
yeah i know...the keyboard is why i bought the kaiser from the first place...i had a samsung f490 and i couldn't stand it...everything was touch...i had to press a combination of touch buttons to answer a call!imagine me driving my car and trying to answer my girlfriend on the phone...so i traded it for a laptop and bought a kaiser...the reason i am going for an HD2 is because it's the fastest...i wish they could make a keyboard version...that would be really nice!
also have the lagging button syndrome! sometimes letters missing, sometimes duplicates and other times it hangs and makes 3messages full of a single character, so frustrating! now my 'g' button is broken and 'n' and 's' also dont work. but at least i have the screen keyboard to use! otherwise i love this phone! better than any other brand!
the problem is that this isn't a hardware problem...it's software for sure...sometimes the phone freezes...i'm pressing the same button like a million times and nothing happens...at that time the touch controller doesn't work either...and after some time like 5-6 seconds the phone is accepting input again like normal but with lag and with characters missing...i recall that the cabs provided solved the problem...maybe it was a coincidence or something...if it was a hardware problem i would buy a new keyboard and voila all fixed but that's not the problem...many times it misses my touch commands and even more times i have to press the power button to put the phone to sleep state and then press it again to wake it up in order to let me use touch commands again...really nice phone but not for me...i will go buy a practical phone with 60-70 euro which never freezes and doesn't even have wifi or bluetooth but at least i can type a freaking message without have to try 5 minutes to write 160 characters...i use messages a lot...like 2000-3000 messages every month and the full keyboard was the reason why i bought this thing...now it will be the reason to sell it...
Hello friends, I write because I'm desperate... Every time I install an alternative keyboard to my nexus, my screen goes crazy.
Yesterday, I installed the gingerbread keyboard, and now my touch is bad, I can not even write a complete sentence each time I resume the display.
I uninstalled the keyboard yesterday and my phone still is bad, Ive tried everything, restoring a nand, wiping, and nothing happens!
any advice? is there anyway to see if the calibration values were changed?
this has happened to me before, once I installed smart keyboard and my touch went wrong too, but it fixed when I uninstalled it and its screen calibration complement too...
Can you be more specific about how exactly the screen goes crazy? If you're referring to screen touches registering in the wrong place it always seems to happen to me when I'm using the keyboard. It occurs frequently when I'm typing a message but strangely never seems to happen when I'm just using the browser.
Perhaps there's a link?
Odd, happened to me too.
I took a very damp cloth and cleaned all the smudges and oils from the screen. That took care of it for me.

it's a known issue with the nexus one. sometimes, it cannot handle 2 points at a time, resulting in "touch point smearing" (see vid). you can imagine how annoying it would be to type on a virtual keyboard! it doesn't matter in a browser since touch point smearing still results in the desired pinch to zoom/expand motion
my advice is to either type in such a way so that only one finger is on the screen at a time; make sure your first finger is off the screen before you press with your second finger.
or, use swype

Hi all,
I was just curious if anyone else is seeing some physical keyboard keypress/release detection issues on their Droid3s? The most common problem I'm seeing is a lack of detection of spacebar keypresses (i.e., I'll find words joined together). Sometimes it also fails to detect the release of the spacebar (or other keys), thus repeating a row of letters.
The keyboard is physically clean. This is however a "day one" phone and I've used it/the keyboard fairly extensively for the nearly two months I've owned it.
The problem seems most likely to occur when typing quickly. I'm certain I am pressing the spacebar though.
Have not modified the stock software.
Thanks

Been having the sticking issue with my Droid3 as well. Haven't notice it skipping any keys, though. My spacebar, period, and backspace keys all like to stick every so often. Which can be rather infuriating when you've just typed a lengthy message, only to make a single typo, and have the backspace key wipe out everything you just wrote.
I've been thinking about getting a replacement, but I think I'd rather deal with a minor annoyance than get a refurbished phone.
Same thing.

I just got a replacement today. My first d3, the middle of the spacebar wouldn't press in. It would usually register a keypress, but sometimes it wouldn't . It got really annoying because I always pressed in the middle. And it would seem to randomly add many spaces untill I pressed another button or not space at all.

Thanks all, just called 611 and ordered a warranty replacement. Very much hoping it's a new device rather than a refurb.
My current one has also has been experiencing the reboot issue with greater frequency lately.
I'm having the same issues but it's happening to the spacebar AND the backspace. I'll delete a mistake I made than all of a sudden the phone will delete everything like I was holding it.
what do you guys think? if it's software I'll wait for a patch. If it's hardware then I may need a new phone. but I agree with RandomEncounter, I'd rather deal with than get a referb.

Never had this issue on either one of my Droid 3's. I'm on .890, might make a difference.
Alright since the first day of release when I got the phone, the keyboard has been acting all funky. There are times that the autocorrect does nothing to correct any mistakes (like "im" to I'm"), nor does it tag misspelled words (doesn't tag "thr" or "adlalkdj" as a wrong spelling). Here's another weird one: oftentimes I correct a misspelled word I just typed, corrected it, and when I hit space, the whole word disappears. Like if I typed in "thr" oh I just hit backspace and replaced r with e, hit space and the whole word disappears (like wow really, Samsung?). Keep in mind this is a brand new phone. Typing has never been the same. Could it be the keyboard data was transferred by Smart Switch when I shifted from my S7 Edge? I've reset the keyboard so many times and it still gives me the same issues. After doing a lot of research online, seems that no one else is having an issue so it might be a software issue for my device specifically. I really don't want to factory reset the phone at this point.
Any thoughts?
No issues whatsoever. updated to Swiftkey 5 minutes after I took it out the box.
You are NOT the only one. Check the Note 7 thread and Android Central forums. I have the same issue. Read that people recommend Chrooma Keyboard cause it cause no lag. I was having issues with Swiftkey.

Same here the stock keyboard is screwed up massively and it's only the T-Mobile variant. Also the fact that it uses Samsung voice input instead of google voice input which is horrible and will not allow you to curse. I've looked into this and on the Sprint, AT&T and Verizon Note 7's they all work just like my s7 did, Seamless with google voice input but not the T-Mobile phone. I really hope this gets fixed asap.

It's a software issue with their keyboard.
same here. ive even checked all my settings. kinda annoying and makes you type slower lol
idk i dont have that problem. but i also have autocorrect off. i never liked it. And most sites will highlight incorrectly spelled works, so i saw no need for it. And if i didnt know how to spell a work i speak to text it lol..
I had no problem with my T-Mobile version but I switched over to google keyboard after a while because I was use to typing on that on my previous device.

I'm used to the Samsung Keyboard but I've also switched to Google Keyboard because of the terrible auto-correct currently with the Samsung one. Can't wait for our first software update.
yes, its extremely annoying
ill mispell a word, backspace to correct it, and when i hit space the whole. word disapears.
i moved to swiftkey which sucks compared to Samsungs key board.
where is the patch!?
On my old phone, Samsung keyboard's auto correct feature literally didn't allow me to type word that wasn't in the dictionary, which drove me bananas. I turned off auto correct, problem solved. N7 keyboard is much better in that regard, but if I have any problems in future, will just do the same, turn off auto correct. A lot of my typing is not in dictionary like txs, tks, plse etc. so no big loss. I like Samsung keyboard more than any other.
Yeah, I heard good things about the stock keyboard, decided to try with the new 7, same issues as op, finally installed SwiftKey, no problems.

My new s7 edge is doing exactly the same thing yours is. Sometimes if i correct a word, hit space, it will actually erase everyyhing I've written! It can't spell much of anything i may need to double check
I was just trying to add a thesaurus to the dictionary but its impossible.
