I've got an annoying problem with my hd2, it doesn't want to stop interfering when I type messages in an other language than english. I've gone into to touch input options and disabled pretty much everything there so that it doesn't suggest or autocorrect anything but still it keeps doing it.
Is this a bug?
On the left side of your keyboard, near the "Z" letter there is a button. Press it to highlight ABC instead of XT9. I believe this will solve the problem.

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 downloaded swype and used it and it was great. And the next day I did a soft reset after downloading something and now I only have the default keyboard and its lame. I have gone into all settings-->personal-->input and switched input method to swype but once i press ok it swtiches it automatically back to touch input. can anyone help? maybe help me tottaly disable touch input or find a solution why i cant use swype.
keyboard symbol?
Sorry if this sounds dumb, but do you get keyboard symbol at bottom of screen, with arrow to the rightside of it? if so, touch on arrow, select swype. Sorry if you have already done this.Mine changes back sometimes.
Just wondering if there is a quick way to disable the swyping on the swype keyboard.
Love Swype but sometimes a std keyboard would be easier and I find I am changing back to the HTC keyboard for the odd message and then back again.
What swype needs is a quick way to turnoff the swype funtion and go Dumb mode.
Problem is if I type to quickly it starts picking it up as swypes
Thanks
Check settings, menu, all settings, personal, input.
Tought you could change it over there.
Thanks for the response however not really worried about switching between swype and another keyboard. More hoping there is a quick way to keep swype but make it faster as a normal keypad.
Some of my messages (Txt or Email) Swype is a bit of a hinderance. Trying to touch (tap tap) is painfully slow and so is switching between keyboards. (Bottom center. Tap slightly to the right will prompt for type of keyboard).
Eg entering in information and funny names I would like to tap one of the sype buttons and swype function is temporaily disabled. I then type what I need to (tap tap tap) then tap the key again and the swype function is reenbled and I carry on (swype swiggle swishe)
I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Swype to turn of the "swyping" as you eloquently put it.
Hope they come out with a newer build that could do that and one where you can access the EDITING options with just one button press.
i simply press the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of screen , and toggle to the normal, htc regular keyboard
edit: sorry, overlooked the op's main concern, please ignore

Hey, quick tip
you can quickly access the Editing options by swyping from the 'swype key' to the 'SYM key'
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!
Hi,
since a couple of days, I have this problem with my Yoga book:
- Halo (= hardware) keyboard is active and lit up
- when I enter a text input field in any app (Firefox...), the onscreen keyboard will pop up.
- as soon as I start typing on the Halo keyboard, the onscreen keyboard will disappear
- but the first typed letter will - most of the time - be missing in my text
Expected behaviour: no onscreen keyboard will pop up if I have hw keyboard activated.
How can I fix this?
What are the proper settings in the keyboard settings menu?
Is there any other setting I might have missed?
Brgds

hey, i'm not familiar with the settings in English...but let's try...
try to uncheck 'show input method' at the bottom of the menu where you can switch between the keybords.
if i have it checked, the onscreen keyboard pops up. if not, nothing comes.
unfortunately, i have the same annoying 'bug' that quite often the first keystroke on the halo keyboard isn't recognized.
This did solve my problem!
