Disappearing Search Bar - myTouch 3G, Magic General

My client has this problem which seems like a bug but I'm not sure.
Whenever he starts typing in the search widget or in the market search field - what happens is that two or more seconds later it loses focus and the text is gone (or it gets submitted? I'll ask him). Either way he can't use it because he doesn't get enough typing.
Any ideas?
This is CyanogenMod and reflashing didn't help the whole thing.

Problem after problem with HD2.

Hey guys, I love my HD2 but recently ive been having some terrible issues.
I text alot and it really irritates me that when i go to type a text it takes 30 seconds to allow me to do so, it will just be completely unresponsive for those 30 seconds.
Then also anytime i go to change the keys to " £ $ ? symbols and numbers it jumps the cursor back randomly so im still typing before i realise its typing in completely the wrong place.
Im also having the phone do random things without me letting it, it removed the lock screen by itself which i cannot get back and before that it was automatically changing the background and the weather service would randomly select strange citys?
Hi,
sounds like things have gone askew, maybe if all else fails you can do a hard reset (ensuring you back up any data you need first).

That's the SMS load delay bug that has been discussed a lot on these forums. It occurs whenever you have more than a few messages from a person, and the phone tries to load all the old sms messages from that person, but it does it extremely slow. HTC may or may not be aware of it, the hotfix on their site for SMS doesn't seem to fix it. At the moment, your options are to delete SMS history, or to disable HTC Messaging and using Microsofts default SMS (requires regsistry hacking).

Some people have reported that they got an overly responsive screen, I would suggest you try and replace your phone (or simply return it like I did because you can never trust a SMS message has been sent when you send it with HTC Messaging, another bug without solution). The wether
services choosing odd cities might be because of yet another bug that fails to correctly pinpoint your location for the weather app.

I have this fault, and I think it started after the text messaging hotfix, I am going to uninstall; that fix and see if it solves the problem. Have you installed that fix?
Nope, that didn't fix it - is anyone else experiencing this? When I click on the ""12#" (symbol) hey, the cursor jumps back to a point earlier in the test message. Usually it jumps to the last place that I pressed that button.
This only occurs in the HTC SMS Messaging.
I uninstalled the SMS hotfix and restarted the phone but it's still occuring.
Got the same problem here with the cursor jumping back using "12#". I have installed all latest official HTC updates, but none have solved this problem. Really annoying ;(
Anyone got a workaround or custom fix for this?

You can use myphone to back up and archieve your text messages regularly. This will then delete them off your phone but you can still access them on the web if you want to. Keeps the number of messages low and solves the delay problem.

Me too, i got the same problem!
The last thing i installed was the sim contact update.
But at the moment i dont know if i have the problem before that update..
to type immediately without the 30s delay, simply press send and then no then tap again and you should be able to immediately type.
I do also have the number/symbols bug and it annoys the hell out of me! would love anyone that could find a solution to this!

Cant see what i am typing

I am having a problem when typing in my messengers (mercury, dolca and epinephrine all have the same issue). When i start typing IM messages, everything is fine for a short period of time. However, after a while i suddenly cant see what i am typing anymore but if i hit enter, everything i typed (and misspelled because i cant see what im doing ) gets sent. There is one way to see what i typed and that is if i tap the notifications bar or if someone sends me a message. So i guess my inout only shows up if the screen refreshes. This happened on my stock rom and on Prime! 1.5. I started noticing it after installing thumbkeyboard, but even when using standard keyboard i get the same issue... Anyone got the same problem and knows how to fix this because it is really getting anoying

[Q] Weird problem with address bar/text fields

Hey guys, getting some strange issues with my address bar on my phone.
Its only started recently and I can't work out what I've changed or pinpoint when it happened. All I have done is rooted the phone and removed some of the bloat (all of which on the safe list)
When I go into a browser or have to enter text into a text box I press the text box to try to enter text. If the box already has text in it, it used to select all the text so I can type over it/copy it etc. Now it seems to select all the text, then puts my cursor where I pressed, as if I double clicked.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or know what has caused it/how to fix it.
The second issue I'm having with the opera mobile browser. When I start to type an address it auto completes - gives me options of the ending (.co.uk/.com/.net etc) But it automatically completes the address with the top result.
Is this just me or is it a common issue? Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks in advance
Was just having a quick play around ans it seems its something to do with swype keyboard...can't work out how to fix it, any ideas at all?
As far as i noticed this happens if you have to manually add something into your keyboards wordDB.. just tap anywhere and back to the line you were and it should not bug.

Long press to forward text not working

I am trying to solve this issue for my mom. She is running completely stock from Verizon. The issue is when she tries to forward a text message from the stock app, it occasionally will not recognize the long press on the text bubble. The issue seems to be intermittent . When I attempted to test the issue, it was having no problems, then I closed all open processes / applications and the problem reappeared.
When I attempt a long press on the text bubble, it will grey out for a split second, then act as if I never touched the screen. However it recognizes the touch to scroll if that makes sense. The problem seems isolated to the text messaging app. A long press in Gmail still will start the copy / paste function.
I pulled the battery and loaded the messaging app first and the problem seems to start from start up. Unless there is a process that loads on startup that I need to make inactive.
Anyone else have a similar issue, or possible solution?

Ims.service issues, + keyboard issue only when in chrome

So randomly, but only a couple of times a day or every other day, ims.services stops working, also everytime I try to place a phone call, ims.services stops working, and the call automatically ends and goes to the screen right after a call that has the call back button on the left, view contact up above, the text message button on the right and video call in the center. If I click on the call back button then the call will go through. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for solving that issue?
The second issue, the keyboard one is as follows. I use SwiftKey 3,and ONLY when I'm typing in Chrome, the text prediction will not show an entire word, it only shows the letter I had just typed, and at the end of every word when I press the space bar (pressing the space bar automatically selects the center word prediction) it will add a second of the same letter to the end. For example, the word, "world" would be, "worldd". Now this ONLY occurs when I'm using Chrome. Does anyone have any solutions, or suggestions for this one as well?
Thank you everyone ahead of time, you all are awesome and always so extremely helpful.

You did not say whether you are rooted or unrootted, and if the latter if you are on a custom ROM (assuming you are not).
If you are on stock OEM and have not updated it recently, that would fix it - as it overwrites the entire ROM and would clear this up. Whichever firmware/ROM version you are on, you could ODIN the AP module and that would also write over your problem.
As for Chrome - I don't use it.
