Hope someone could help me out.
I recently installed Swype. I'm not sure if that's what behind my problem, but now if I happen to reboot my phone, the default onscreen keyboard is always in "handwriting" mode, and I have to switch it back to Swype before I can type a single message. It's rather annoying.
Another thing that happened even without rebooting (only once so far) was that I couldn't unlock my phone with the onscreen slider. When I swiped my finger over it, I kept getting handwriting input (green lines) and not grabbing the slider. Had to pull the battery to reset. Since I'm on company e-mail (Exchange), my phone always locks, so this could be a problem.
My questions:
a) can this be related to Swype?
b) is there anything I can do to "set" the keyboard permanently to a particular state (I'd like to keep Swype)?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've had my Hermes for about a month now. On about 4 occassions I've pulled the keyboard to use it and input will not be 'received' properly. It seems the Hermes gets stuck in a 'mode'.
Some of the keys work... like at the moment I clicked forward on an email, slid the keyboard out to start typing but the letters did not work. Pressing 'Return' activates the start menu, however.
I started pressing random things to get it work: I pressed the green phone button to get to the dialer, tapped the X for the dialer to get back to the email and now the keyboard is working again. Weird!
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

If you can rule out software issues then there is a push on multi connector inside that may not be pressed in firmly!

I've had this problem sometimes. If I 'beat the phone' to it, or catch it mid-thought, as it were... Just have to be a bit slower with it. Seems that I slide the keyboard out before it has time to allocate the appropriate amount of CPU time to flipping the screen and initialising the hardware input, so it either takes a few presses for it to register, or it just gets stuck in keyboard-in mode, and I have to soft reset to make it work.
Happened on my old Hermes, not happened yet (touch wood) on my new replacement.
I was sending a text message half asleep today and somehow I turned on the on screen keyboard. This is the 1st time I have ever seen it since flashing my ROM. My question is how do I get rid of that annoying keyboard icon sitting in the middle of my task bar. I know if I just ignore it and use the regular keyboard the on screen one stops popping up but I want to turn it off completely. After not seeing it for 2 months it's driving me nuts after a hour of looking at it and trying to turn it off again.
you press the keyboard looking button on the bar below it. it should disappear. to stop the keyboard from appearing, just dont kit the button
I know that part but what I'm saying is I don't even want the keyboard button down there. I have a cooked rom on my phone and before I turned it on unknowingly I have never seen it before this, I want it gone period.
Has anyone else had the issue where you can press down on the screen, a tool bar or something and the screen starts to shake or the selector starts to auto select things. I get this a lot and typing is often very hard because it randomly selecting things when i am typing on the keypad.
I have seen it once when i put the phone down go through random menus, is this a fault or just normal due to sensitivity?

Hi
I've had the same problem several times with both stock rom and cooked.
I turn it off, wipe the screen and it will usually revert to working properly.
Most would say it's a fault unfortunately. Personally I've returned mine for a replacement after a 'repair' which fitted a new screen made the problem worse.
See this thread.
This is probably going to not get any responses as most people aren't using the on screen keyboard, but I'll post it anyways.
Has anyone's on screen keyboard had the mode switching button break? This is the button in the bottom right that lets you switch between full keyboard, thumb keyboard, and transcriber. When it stops working, the icon disappears. If you click it, the key turns white and stays white and does nothing.
I don't know what causes it to break, but once it's broken, I can't get it to work again. It seems to be user-account specific. It works fine on other user accounts I create, but once it breaks on one account it stays broken.
this happens to me too, ms forums only ever says refresh your pc, that work for less than a day, hopefully it is fixed by beta
Using stock keyboard i found that my typing was constantly getting words grouped together. Then I noticed that when I hit the space bar I always get the hepatic feedback but the cursor doesn't always move when spacebar is pressed. Sometimes I have to hit it 3-4 times. Anyone else have this problem.
I have the same problem, but I don't know a fix. I hate anything but stock keyboard. I refuse using another keyboard
even im facing the same issue!!!! lets hope a fix from google in feb update!!!but ive to press it twice and not 3-4 times
Huh, I've never had this problem. Perhaps try to reboot into safe mode to rule out rouge apps and see if the issue persists?
