Annoying problem whilst typing SMS

Hello,
I currently use the phone keypad to type my messages, and sometimes after some words, when I press space it doesnt actually do a space. any ideas on what this could be, its really annoying when I look back and theres loads of words that are stuck together!
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have a same problem, is there any solution for this?

Anybody help? Its really annoying

glad its not just me, i tryed turning off T9 etc.. but still does it

Yeah here also with a NLD rom. I need to push the spacebar somethings 2 times if I want a space in my text message.
I hope htc will fix it

Same problem here, I thought it was me not pushing it right

did you calibrate your screen?
before I calibrated my screen, I felt I have to skew my taps a bit (maybe its also an illusion with the glass touch screen's thickness when the actual image is behind 1-2 mm of glass) to touch the right keys. after calibration it seems better.

I find what is problem. When a tiny line is under letters, when i push space and then another letter, cursor go back. I don't know how to turn off this option and what is it for. Does anyone have solution? t9 is off in mu case and i use phone keypad.

you are right, the cursor does go back but im not sure how to stop it.
It is driving me insane because it takes me a long time to type a message now

its unusual that more people are not reporting this issue, is it a problem just with our devices, or maybe others are not concerned by this or unaware

Im having the same problem. When I had another ROM installed the keyboard had a bigger spacebar, but I went back to manila 2.1 and now it has the smaller one again...
Isnt there a way to alter the size of the spacebar in manila 2.1?

This is a common issue with XT9.
I suggest trying a different SIP and disabling all other settings other than ABC mode.

Annoying Keyboard Bug for SMS (inputting symbols and XT9)

Hi all,
again, i dont like starting new threads, but I havent found anything about this keyboard bug im experiencing
I'm on 1.48.405.2 (71294)
So i'm SMS-ing with XT9 on and word completion:
If im typing away and end something with a QUESTION, like
"What are you doing today?"
I normally click the "12#" to change to symbol to select the question mark "?"
BUT i noticed EVERY SINGLE TIME when there is a WORD COMPLETION SUGGESTION hovering over the word and you CLICK "12#", the cursor will POP UP to the line ABOVE! (if i've gone past 1 line of text)
A word completion suggestion popup must be there before clicking "12#" for the cursor to pop up. But this is pretty basic for anyone typing a question.
this is SO annoying when i'm trynig to type fast and add a "?", cause then the cursor keeps popping up and screwing up my message...
Also another bug i noticed is when I receive a SMS, and in HTC Message i click on the message to go to Windows messaging..
Sometimes when i start to type (and it clearly says its oN XT9), no word completion pops up!
It's very intermittent, but the XT9 will be selected but just not work...
Anyone else experiecne this?
And better yet, does ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION/REGISTRY TWEAK?
That cursor popping up when wanting to type a symbol is super annoying...
I installed the Less sensitivity cab but im not sure if that caused this?

Why don't you just hold down the 'k' key till the question mark pops up?

I'm facing the second problem of yours too. Sometimes the T9 is 'on' but it is not functioning. This is really annoying. I have to close the message go to home screen and come back into the message again to get it working.

I've been getting the Xt9 thing too at random times. Although I never goto the other symbols keyboard to do the '?'.

thanks for the replies guys
least i know im not the only one
yeah..i COULD hold the "k" to get the "?" ...i guess i can do that from now on.
But i find the 2 clicks is faster than holding the K...maybe its just me
Anyways, hopefully HTC is aware of this so they fix this..
The keyboard is used all the time so this is a pretty annoying thing to see

has anyone had the issue of replying to a text and it just comes out as numbers ??? you then have to go into the text option Turn on Turn off an option then press done and then letters will appear ?

My keyboard annoyances are accidentally turning off XT9 modemany times when trying to press the A key. Why did they have to put the XT9/ABC key right under the A key?
Also I get the XT9 turning off bug too from time to time even though it is turned on.

I get this problem sometimes. Its bloody annoying!
I usually go to menu>quick text then press back and usually that sorts it.
Hope they find a permanent fix to stop it happening though!!

I have the same problem sometimes. I uses the Phonepad and sometimes it will only type numbers.
I have talked to HTC (danish) and they will try to look at it.
Sometimes the XT9 doesnt show words at all. Ive got those two problems

Its a joke man i can believe theres so much issue with there sms functions
- im a Texter and this isnt good - please keep me updated as whatever they send you im going to forward to HTC uk!
These faults need to be bombarded over to HTC for a imminent fix !
WHAT HAPPENED TO THERE TESTER ????

I have reported this to HTC support, but didn't hear anything back, in fact I didn't get an auto-responder either so I hope they got my email.

i have same problem .....
when a message comes i reply key pad types ok
but when again message come i reply key pad starts typing digits
problem is with phone pad and compact qwery pad ......
i have mailed HTc via support
but have not got a response yet .?

I also experience that sometimes the XT9 doesnt work even though it is marked as "on". Also, Im not able to add new words to T9.

Any news about the problem. Any solutions???

[Q] Swype missing keys?

On my Epic, running QuantumRom 2.7, Swype seems to be missing certain letters at different times. Just now, I tried to type "I'm" by swiping from I to M on the keyboard, but Swype is not catching the I, and will only highlight J or K, forcing a weird word like "Km"
Also, sometimes I will be swiping for another word, and it will assume I did a short press to insert a letter, then start recognizing swiping. Example: Swiping "Hello" may insert "H elli"
Anyone else hit these issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Yeah, mine started doing that the other day. Almost like the screen isn't picking up my movements any longer.

yea mines been doing this for a little, and sometimes after i pick a word, it puts it in caps lock by itself

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I had the same issue last night trying to swipe "copy".
I would hit C, feel the phone recognize the press with the haptic feedback, but right when I went to swipe away to O, Swype put the C, then pick up other characters.
Anyone know of a fix? It seems intermitted but when it happens it is very frustrating.

Google Keyboard Help

So I'm using the google keyboard. I'm not sure what happened when, but at some point something changed and now when I'm typing I get two word suggestions for misspellings: 1) as a popup and 2) as a horizontal list of words above the top row of the keyboard.
I hate the popup. Not only are the word suggestions pretty much always wrong (whereas the horizontal list of words are correct), but it's extremely obtrusive.
That said, I can't figure out how to turn the popup suggestions off without also turning off the horizontal list of suggestions. It seems that is both or none.
Is it? Can I turn off just the pop-up and keep the horizontal list of word suggestions?
Thanks for the help!

Keyboard (LG) completely stops typing letters at random

This has happened in Chrome browser. It may have happened elsewhere. What happens is, sometimes when I start typing ...say in XDA, or even Facebook, NOTHING types. The cursor will be blinking, ready to type...but ...nothing gets typed. The keys are popping up on the keyboard as my finger touches them, but the cursor never moves and nothing comes out on the text box.
Here's the weird part....numbers and symbols will type fine. Also if I press space bar 2 times, it will type ONE letter after that...and repeat. I figured out that when this happens, the only way to fix it is to turn the screen off and then back on again.
What the heck is this thing doing?

In the photo, note text typed that shows up in word prediction box..but no actual text in field. (Nevermind what I typed ?) ...this is what it keeps doing at random.
I cannot be the only one with this issue.
