The text entry from my physical keyboard on my XV6800 is SLOW. It seems to hang up when typing a text/email message and also seems that it doesn't show the characters until I hit "space". Text entry is fast and smooth when using the soft keyboard on the screen.
I've tried a hard reset, but that did not help.
Any Ideas?
Are you using a task manager to close programs down tht run in the background?
You know a hard reset from a soft reset, right?
It will do it with about 18 - 23megs of RAM with no other programs running other than those from startup. Sometimes it will type just fine then all of the sudden it will start hanging up. I've also noticed that if I close the slider while it's "hung up", it will instantly display the text i was typing like there was no problem.
I do know the difference between the hard reset (holding both soft keys while simultaneously pressing the reset button) and the soft reset (just pressing the reset button).
I don't know if it's a hardware problem or possibly a software issue. I was planning on updating to a custom ROM to enable GPS and update to WM6.1. Do you know if a ROM update would take care of a software issue if that was in fact what was causing the problem.

I have the same phone, same issue. When I first slide the phone there's a good 3-5 second period where the display of the text lags. I just keep typing and soon all of the characters suddenly appear. I have noticed the same issue while using the Vito SMS-Chat program. The display of text lags right after I slide it open and/or I am receiving a text.

does your screen sometimes display vertical black lines when you are typing on the slide-out keyboard?

I use PIE with PIEPlus 2.2 for browsing, and every time I click into a text box on a web page the on screen keyboard pops up - this is very annoying as I use full screen mode and this causes the screen to come out of full screen mode while the keyboard pops up. Also I'm in landscape mode with the hardware keyboard slid out, so the on-screen keyboard is not needed.
I'm sure this problem never happened before, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a setting or whatever I might have changed?
Use nullkeyboard

Also, if you start typing on the hardware keyboard while te software keyboard is on the screen, it'll disappear and only reappears when you tap te "keyboard button" instead of appearing every time you select a text box.
I have an HTC Mogul with the latest officially released ROM (WM 6.0). Whenever I finish a phone call, the onscreen phone keypad "collapses"; I then have to hit the left hardware button (whose function now reads "Keypad") to cause the entire, regular keypad (with all 10 buttons, *, #, etc.) to display again.
Is there a registry setting that will prevent the onscreen phone keypad from ever "collapsing" in the first place?
Thanks.
I'd also like to know if this is possible.
I also get annoyed when I call voicemail or some other automated number and have to take the phone away from my head to press the "show keypad" button... I would rather have it stay up...
same here!!!!
It's a pain to have to look at the phone screen and press SHOW KEYPAD each time I call in the voicemail or a company with a menu..... I'd really like if someone could tell me how to get the keypad to stay on the screen after we press the SEND key by default....
thanks!
Since I could not find a similar post, I hope that I can get some help for the following issue.
I just performed a ROM flash to go from WM6.1 to WM6.5 on my HTC Touch HD.
All seems to be working fine for 2 days now. But I just recently noticed that when I click on the "off hook" button (bottom left) I see that the phone keypad is missing a row with number keys. Below the keys that are visible bottom there is a bar where I see through the application an I see my wallpaper: the key pad looks like this:
456
789
*0#
I expect of course this:
123
456
789
*0#
So I actually don't see the 1,2 and 3 buttons. But when I click on button 4, I get 1. Click on 6, I get 3. Click on * I get 7. Click left in the "see through bar", I get * (and after clicking this button or the other 2 to its right the button is visible with a grey color).
The key pad seems to have been moved upwards visually. But functionally the touchscreen expects the buttons to be in the correct place.
I have tried switch off/on the phone. Also after switching off Touch3dFlo I have this problem.
What causes this screwed up layout? Or better yet, how can I fix this problem(without flashing the ROM again?)?
EDIT: When I receive an incoming phone call there is this sliding bar that allows you to either accept or reject the phone call. I have the feeling that this bar fits right into the "see through" bar that I have. But when you initiate a phone call you don't need the "accept or reject slider bar" and therefore it's not displayed. Unfortunately something in the code makes space for this bar though
Flashed ROM to solve the problem
It's not that I'm impatient or anyting. But I've just flashed to Duttys HD WM6.5 R5.
That has solved my problem.
This can be a little difficult to explain, but I'm hoping someone else here has a fix, or at least can confirm it happens to others.
I'm using a stock HTC Magic on Rogers (so 1.5 with perfected SPL, still unhacked). I bought it this way.
Not every time, but quite often I will begin typing in an application such as message or browser, and every button press on the keyboard will trigger a "scroll up" as if I had scrolled up on the scroll button.
This is extremely annoying, as it results in each button press pushing the focus from the text box up to whatever is above it, forcing me to manually scroll back down to enter the next letter.
It is application specific. Once it happens in one application it stays broken only in that application until I kill that process.
Any ideas?
Note: This doesn't happen in landscape, but that could simply be that "scroll up" has no function in landscape since the entire screen becomes a text box and there's nothing to switch focus to.
Yeah I'm seeing the same. On custom roms as well. Sorry I don't know of a fix, except perhaps switching to plain android keyboard (but that's hardly an improvement).
Hi,
I have noticed a weird problem with my Iconia A500's keyboard for some time. It seems that I can't hold any key pressed anymore; when I do it looks like the key gets pushed only once. E.g., if I hold the 'g' key, instead of multiple g's appearing only one gets written down. That would't be that much annoying but it seems I can't activate caps lock anymore (when I hold it so it activates it does exactly the same action as when I click it briefly, that is capitalize only te next letter) , the smileys key (it justs inserts ' ' no matter how long I press it instead of displaying te smiley menu) or backspace (now if I want to delete a sentence I have to press backspace once for every letter -- very annoying!!). Also, sometimes, when I'm typing, a certain key remains highlighted.
I am running stock 3.2 Android on the tab but I think the problem's there since 3.1, maybe even before that, I don't think I have noticed it right away and that's the problem, I don't know what really caused this. Maybe it was an Android update, maybe an app update, a virus or a wrong setting.
Thing is it doesn't seem to be a problem with the screen because it's working just fine anywhere else, like games that require multiple touch. Could corrupt keyboard files be a probable cause? Can they be replaced?
I would be really, really grateful if you could give me any advice on this little annoying problem of my tab.
Thanks,

Are you 100% sure that when you long pressed that it would repeat the character (also am I understanding what you wrote correctly?)?
So far every keyboard that I have tried between both my phone and tablet will either do nothing or it will give you some alternate characters like the long pressing the 'e' will give me a '3'.
Do you remember using a different keyboard at some point?
I think your confusing your A500 with another device???
I just tried every keyboard I have installed on my tablet(stock Android, Thumb keyboard, XT9 keyboard, and Swiftkey) and none of them will type multiple letters with a long press on the key. I don't think I've ever seen a keyboard that would do that. Most of them will give a choice of alternate letters/symbols/etc. when you long press.
It seems I have realised what the problem actually was. I didn't think it had any connection with Accesibilty, as the touch and hold delay setting was set to short, but it seems that if I disable Accesibilty completely the problem goes away. Now the alternate characters work as intended. Problem solved!
