I had the desire for over a year now and it has gone back to get repaired twice. Hardware issues.
I use SwiftKey x and am happy with it. As last week, when I use the dedicated qwerty keyboard in a text message, and I hit the s button it saves the message and the g button it goes directly to gmail.
I think it is just a setting issue but can't seem to be able to turn it these short-cuts off.
Regards,

Had this issue once before, I did a wipe to fix it.
Dont have the option to do it now because there are too many apps installed.
The phone lost power and shutdown, after charging it and powering up I cannot open the keyboard when replying to a message in messaging.
I can't open it with a long press of the menu key, and if I hold the end call key I only get the option to shut down and not silent mode or airplane mode.
How to resolve this?
Thanks
OK now I realised I cant bring up my keyboard at all.
If I select a text box and select input methods there is nothing listed there.
The end call button does not lock my screen.
I am using the HTC keyboard from the HTC_IME pack, and the nk02's ION rom.
Worked fine when I had haykuro's ION rom and the google standard keyboard,
please help!!
/EDIT: i meant to say this has happened before on haykuro's ion rom and the default keyboard, so clearly isnt a rom or keyboard issue.
I backed everything up with "Backup for Root" app and did a wipe.
Restored the app settings and boom the problem returns.
There some setting or some app that is breaking this.
Have you tried to play with settings - locale & text - touch input - Keyboard types
try change to phone keypad, is this one showing? if yes then maybe when you change back to qwerty it start showing again?
good luck man
Anyone else have issues with their Delete key? It seems I have to hit it twice to get it moving. I can type very fast and smooth with easy button presses, but the delete key seems to be a PITA.

Don't have any problems here with any keys (that I've found so far). Is it a case of since its a little more difficult to get to (upper right) corner that you don't realize you are not pressing it the same way as the other keys?
Just a thought.
No problems here
Never had that problem.

Hard keyboard or virtual? I haven't had that issue with either. Off topic, but my spacebar on the landscape virtual is a pain, I always end up hitting the b or v.

If you're not using a custom keyboard, have you tried calibrating your keyboard at:
Menu-->Settings-->Language&Keyboard-->Touch Input-->Text Input-->Calibration Tool
(Interestingly enough, Calibration tool is only available if you hold the phone in Portrait and not in Landscape)
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried. I'm going to try it again. Coming from the Hero and having the tight sliding due to my case, its going to be hard to get used a the hard keyboard again. It is weird that the calibration only works in portrait or w/e you call it, the Hero was the same way.

i think it might be that I'm just not hittin it right. I was typing last night and when I hit delete it worked right away. I just might be hittin it off center.
Hey there,
I have a question about a possible Android bug that has had its annoyance on me for quite a while now. Sometimes when I wanna type something into a text box and it doesn't show up whatsoever in the text box at all. I feel the vibrations of the keys while I'm typing, and I also seen that the dictionary recommends and corrects words right on top of the keyboard as if I'm actually typing, but nothing shows up in the text box, I usually have to wait three to four minutes before it goes back to normal and it starts showing the letters I type in the text box, I use a different keyboard other then the default Android one, but the same thing also happens with that keyboard as well. It has never done this before and started about one month ago, my HTC Legend is obviously rooted and I currently run a Stock ROM of Android 2.2, is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it? Thanks for the help.
thats sounds like your legend lags.... does it help after freeing the ram? eg. using task killer...
That used to happen to me as well but only while typing in landscape mode. When I'd transfer back to portrait it would be fine. Usually closing the app I was using would fix everything. Since I started using smart keyboard pro I only use portrait mode so don't even know if it happens anymore lol

Hey guys thanks for the help, I also use Smart Keyboard Pro and it even happens on that keyboard as well, I have a task killer and exit the app, and close all apps via the task killer but no luck, it usually needs a few minutes and it starts working fine. But I'll see about the landscape and portrait mode. Thanks for the help again guys.
If it bugs you that much try flashing another ROM. That sounds exactly like a bad case of lag, as psyionx suggested. It would be worth it!
Sometimes when writing a text message, my FN button doesn't work. I press the FN button and I get the FN icon in the status bar but when I go to press another key I don't get the FN version of that key.
To remedy the situation i have to flip close the phone, open the software keyboard and then flip open the phone again and then the FN function works properly.
Is there anyone else having this problem?
Do you have a Desire Z, or a G2? Are you running a different rom or keyboard? Has it always done this?

We using XDA on our phones can see sig's for some reason:O But as to your problem, I have never had it. Ever done a factory reset to it?

Nope never done a factory reset, its our lasses phone like, so she doesn't really want to do a reset....if possible
Yuh, FRing is a pain in the ass. But it can make the phone like new again. Sometimes it's all that's needed

i had that problem before
was it only with one messaging app? cause usually it works with every other app but that one
i was using handcent if its only that one app
but to fix it i flashed another rom and its been working great ever since~
hope you gets your fixed too
Let my try.... your'e using Handcent? I've the same problem and lot of people too. It started since the mid-march update. The only solution I foud is to hit the symbol button and then click back. If Handcent do not fix this soon, i'll surely change my messaging app...
Now that you mention it, it did start around that time for me. I have since switched to GoSMS and they have released their premium app for free and retired their previous free version. Check them out! Looks and feels exactly the same as Handcent but without the keyboard issues.
I have the same problem. I fixed it by installing another keyboard.
I think it has something to do with the HTC keyboard...
Hi all!
I'm starting a new thread about my problem because the two other ones i found did not give me any answer or clue. They are (at least) 2 months old and there's no news about that.
The old threads can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885271

I have this problem: When I try to write a text message with the physical keyboard, the screen start to "scroll up" in the conversation after a couple of seconds.
After some tests, here's what I can tell about the problem:
-I use HTC Sense messaging app
-Screens jumps a little bit IF i slide out the keyboard AFTER selecting the contact
-It can't be the trackball to me, (lot of people are saying that it is trackball related) because if you try to "scroll up" or down with the trackball while typing a message, it do not scroll the whole page, but only between your message's lines.
-Sometimes, it scrolls the page up AND unselect the message box, so pressing "delete" will offer you to delete messages (instead of deleting the last character you wrote), and some keys open a new message, etc.
-I tried with "Touch Input" and Swype as the software keyboard and it seems to be unrelated to the software keyboard (I get the problem with both of them)
-It seems to happen to me in EVERY conversation (even conversations with less than 50 messages, contrary to what some peoples says)
-It scroll up in two times, the first time I can see the "send" button a little bit and the second one I can't see the message box anymore. It always jump to the SAME point (with 10 messages or with 200..) the second "jump" occurs 1 second after the first one.
-It is REALLY annoying.
Here's infos on my cellphone:
Bell's HTC Desire Z (canada) with official ROM (not rooted) version 1.84.666.2 (On Android 2.2.1)
I'm using it in French with French Canadian Keyboard.
If someone find a solution (other than switch to another messaging app) i'll be really happy!!
UPDATE: I was having two more software keyboard, "Wifi Keyboard" (installed by Remote Web Desktop) and an unworking Gingerbread keyboard app. (The gingerbread keyboard whas installed a long time after the problem starts), I uninstalled both of them and seems to have no more problems. I'll test some applications and thing and will update this thread once I have a "final answer" on it!
I did a lot if test and it seems that with swype selected, it happens EVERYTIME I slide out the keyboard AFTER selecting a contact or a message.
If swype is not selected, it happens sometimes, but a lot less. Is there a solution to this? I'm not using swype so it do not matter to me, but i would like to fix this annoying bug

Yes I know how you feel.
Sadly, the only workaround I've found to minimise the jumps is by going to the list of messages first in landscape mode (keyboard out) before selecting the thread. It's not 100% foolproof but I found it cuts the phenomenon down significantly with my European Desire Z.
I'm hoping the promised upgrade to gingerbread may finally put this one to bed.
Just a quick update: I've uninstalled Swype Beta completely (rather then keeping it installed as an option) as I was hardly using it. Seems to have made a difference to how often the jumping occurs.

i think its an android general issue i remember having the same problem with my xperia x10 and it happened also on an omnia ii i ported eclair to, so yeah...
This is a known issue. It has to do with ambient light hitting the black touchpad. It causes the screen to inadvertantly jump up. I had this problem before. When ever you see it happening just move the touchpad out of the light or cover it with your hand and it should be fine.
