I'm using my ADP daily but I'm no heavy keyboard user so it really surprised me, that my spacebar is giving out.
I noticed, that mysteriously my words weren't separated by a space anymore. First I thought it was just a little bit laggy but when I tested the spacebar I found that the left side only works when I press it way past the click. It's just 7 months old...
Am I the only one or is this a common problem for the G1 users out there?

yeah im having the same problem too, its only on one side of the bar that does it and its the side always use
Wierd. Mine started doing this too!! My right side doesn't always work.
if you dont have ins. cnn.cn sells the replacement part you need for that.
So then the cause is the inner keyboard PCB: http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-inner-keyboard-p-5056.html ?
Same problem here
Same problem here :-(
Has anybody tried to replace the inner keyboard PCB? Is it difficult? any advice before turning my ADP1 in a paperweight?
Thanks!

This has gotten to be very annoying, whenever I'm using the physical keyboard, some keys, specially those at the top row, do not work. I used to be able to type by simply lightly tapping the keys, but now I have to press down on them with quite a bit of force. I got this problem after I installed the December ROM so I'm guessing there's a connection. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Just one key.
I have the problem with the "Y". otther than that I have no other problems with the keyboard.
I dont remember when it started, I just noticed it because every time I typed "yes" in messaging people would ask me why did I wrire "es".
No problems here. Although I only use it for typing here and there and for playing COD2 and Snow Rally City Stage. I figure that the keyboard isn't the most durable feature of this phone so i am very gentle with it. Do you have it insured?

Yeah I do. Doesn't seem like it's a common problem so I guess I'm going to have to call customer service. It's gotten much worse. About one in every four letters don't come up when I type.
I just type away on mine (when I am not lazy and use my touchpal). My 6700 was durable and so far my keyboard seems fairly robost considering how many times I slide it out and tap away...
This is the first thread I have seen regarding a potentially faulty keyboard.
i noticed it too with my 0/. button
my 'D' button
I have the same problem with my 'D' button. Otherwise works great.
got it replaced
Took it to my local repair store and had to wait a couple of weeks because the moguls are back ordered.
Any fix for this ugly bug ?
Before HTC HD2 i had iPhone 3G, and it had no such bug.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrKEDP59XE
This bug works on all apps, the biggest problem is when you type text on virtual keyboard, all buttons around are triggered.
Get a life man.
Obviously it has a sensitive touch screen. It is not a bug. You can decrease the sensitivity using BSBtweeks amongst others. But if you touch and twitch your finger on the screen that's what you get.
And if you don't like it go back to you iPhone.

there are a lot of faulty devices initially which were released. claim your
warranty, bring this back to where you bought it and show them your problem

it is not bug it is due to over senstivity and it is common in capastive screens even my iphone do it but not so much as its screen is smaller
just don't use the tip of your fingure
there are any. cab to lower the sensitivity enough to solve this problem?
thank you very much

you obviously have a defective unit. I tested mine exactly the same way and doesn't have this shaking screen at all. (even at the maximum zoom level at opera.) try to get a replacement.
i was having problems with the sensitive touch screen, not as bad as most, but very annoying. the main one being when trying to press the back key on the keyboard it would randomly hit a letter instead bout 1 outa 5 times. most other things where quite good.
Phone was still quite new so i returned it to virgin for a replacement and this new one works perfectly. Also, my old one had the visible matrix at angles where as this one does not. Also, the sticker on the packet says rev.B. Not sure if its relevant.
Anyway, to some it up, if you are having screen problems that are souring your phone experience and like me you can get a hassle free same day exchange, i'd go for it, cos the difference is really quite large. Previously id adopted to using skype as the normal qwerty was too innacurate for fast input. but now i can type quickly and accurately in portraite mode on the normal keyboard. Pinch to zoom seems to be working much better now aswell.
I have BSBtweeks and low sensitivty in that movie. On/OFF no big deal same effect.
I guess you guys don't have iPhone 3G and don't know how to real TouchScreen should work.
Why are you keeping your finger on the screen for so long?
Why not ?
For example, you scroll web down, and up in one move to see it all etc..
or u use Virtual mouse like notebook touchpad to control your pc cursor over wifi. etc.
I do it on iPhone without this bug.
get the same probleme and bsb don't change anything
LOL @ tags to this thread
I try and I try and I try but I can not replicate the problem in any software at any zoom level....
I have turned the tweak on and off and still cant make my screen do that maybe your phone is faulty,
i had the same problem, get your phone replaced under warranty !
i sent mine out under warranty repair and foud that they did nothing to fix it so i rang them (o2) and told them the problem is still apparent.
they sent me recondtioned model. cant tell the difference (physical) between reconditioned and a new one if you ask me!
i dont have the shakes with this phone
I got the exact same problem. Screen shivers like crazy, damn annoying. Bought in Norway... So it goes under warranty? I thought it was supposed to be like this......

ok thx guys
Recently (starting hours ago) When i try to text and use the physical keyboard it jumps around. It may scroll up the message or go over to send or things like that. I have taken my screen protector off (great, now i buy another one) and wiped it all down but it still does it.
I also reset it a few times.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I am getting the same thing. I think something is conducting on the capacitive screen as when I set the phone down or don't touch it at all, this never happens.
So should i exchange it?
I don't know. Like I said mine seems to do the same thing. I am not sure if it requires exchanging or if my fingers are brushing the side in a way they shouldn't. I'm open for suggestions myself
Hmm no mine just jumps up the text page like it scrolls the chat message up even if nothing is touching the screen.
Same thing here. Used to happen with my old myTouch but it was after a couple months of use. Uncool for it to happen on the G2 just after the 14 days have passed.
It is probably the capacitive pad thats not working right. Its probably detecting heat and scrolling on its own.
Yes get a replacement.
It's the touchpad. Move to a room with different lighting and try again.
I second the touchpad. It messes me up in the terminal by sending special characters.

I did notice it was the light now. Still does it sometimes tho.
Thanks. What do you guys mean by captive ? Heat ?
Mine does this randomly too, and I've also concluded it's the trackpad. One time I went to my home screen while it was doing it and I could watch the selection scrolling from left to right.
Haven't figured out how to fix it, usually if I lock then unlock the phone it works fine.
Mine just started doing this today. I was sitting under the A/C and i noticed whenever i would try to swype during SMS text messaging, it would highlight "Send" in orange or it would highlight and scroll up the text thread. After I moved away from the A/C, it stopped doing this. my trackpad has been fine and I have never had any issues prior to this or even after moving away from the A/C vent.
This trackpad works on heat I would guess or like others have said, possibly electrical ground current which is probably by a grid I would imagine.
Thats kinda bad for you guys. I havent had this problem at all but seems like a trackpad problem. This happen to me on my g1 onces and that was a dirty trackball

Hi all,
I would like to ask as many people as possible to test the bottom of their touch screens using multitouch visualiser 2 (free from the market).
I (and many others as it seems) are finding the bottom 5-10 mm of the screen is very unresponsive, this can be checked in the above app easily and if you have the problem it will either pick up no input or the "target" will flicker like mad when you firmly press your finger in the area.
I would like to gauge what kind of percentage of units have the problem.
Cheers!
EDIT: I recommend trying this app- it has deffo helped this issue for me!
http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/327198/screen-calibration-app/
Nope... Mine is perfectly fine...
Hi Higgsy.
Yeah a seem to get some problems with the bottom left of mine, It kind of flickers when i move across the bottom 10mm of the left side when using multitouch visualizer. Its fine on the bottom right. I have always had a slight issue when trying to drag shortcuts from that part of the screen to the bin. but apart from the its not a major issue. I was hoping it was a software issue, but your poll suggests it may just be a few units. Have to keep this one until they are in-stock instore anyway.

Thanks mate, that has helped a lot. No more flicker in multitouch visualizer. Dragging icons from that part of the screen is also improved. Seems to just be a calibration problem.
Happy Days

yeahj the whole screen seems much more responsive and keyboard too.
I've only found about a 2mm deadzone near the bottom, not nearly as bad as some that I've seen. Also seems to be a bit hard to press the home button in the notifications bar sometimes.
Thanks for posting that screen calibration app, I'll give it a look

Wow!
Higgsy I want your babies! Had a 10mm dead strip in the bottom left of my display, also had some issues typing on the keyboard, double hits drove me crackers, got to the point I couldn't be bothered to type. Well I used that calibration APK you linked and the deadzone has gone and even better my keyboard is much more responsive
About the babies thing.... might be a problem with me being a 42 year young hairy bloke . Settle for a hearty thanks?
Bumped it on modaco. Searched for this previously but its a bit of a dead thread.
yeah its deffo worth a bump doing one these every week wont hurt.
We could ask to pin this thread?
I put it in dropbox for quick access http://db.tt/QNqL2TB
I can use swiping on Launcher Pro after calibrating the screen, just like on my SGS! Great contribution!
Going to try it now, thanks
Mine was perfect for the first month I owned it, then it got really bad all of a sudden. I ran this app and it fixed it, but now sometimes randomly every few days (or sometimes within a few hours) the very edge where all the connectors are stops working, so if you have it rotated so that is the top, it is impossible to slide down the notification bar.
Running the app again fixes it again, but I hate that I have to keep running the app. It has held perfect for the last 3-days though, so hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.
Hello all, I hope this post can help you with the same or similar problem I had.
My LG gt540 started having a problem 2 months ago, the touchscreen got offset by 2 centimetres(1 inch) verticaly down, this was very annoying specially texting and couldnt access the top panel. Ex: to unlock the phone I had to press 1 inch above the green button.
Sometimes(I dont know why) it went back to normal, but about a week since the problem started it just got permanent, I tried rebooting, taking the battery, etc, nothing worked... Even tried to go to the calibration option but the offset was to much so it said out of range...
Then I read something online about the heat caused touchscreen problems, so I was thinking... hardware dont really like heat, and I always carry my phone on my pocket, the body heat could be damaging the touchscreen, lets try cold, it could solve it, long shot but what do I have to lose?
Left my phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, turned on, and it worked! for 1 month now its back to normal!
Hope it helps you, but try first freezing it powerd off, may be safer.
i have got my phone 2,5 years and i havent got any insue with the touch screen
Hi
My phone started doing the exact same thing a week ago...
This is the only thing I haven't tried, lets see if it works for me....
Thanks
I've had screen calibration problems since i started flashing custom roms.
In my case the screen positions are slightly off at the right side of the screen. When I want to type an "p" i have to touch where the "o" is on a german keyboard.
I'm trying your solution right now.

I have problems for the outer 4 sides.
It's worth to try.
Didn't work for me, it was only fine for 5 minutes....
Also didn't work for me.
Besides, after puting it in the freezer the display protection foil now looks a bit strange.

Hi, sorry for waking this thread up.
I also have the same problem, press 'o' to get 'p'.
I want to ask you guys who already tried this method. Did it work?
It's tempting, but it might be better to know more info.
Thanks.
