Strange Keyboard Issues with Android Revolution V3 4.1 JB - Galaxy S III General

Hi,
have been using this ROM for two days now, everything fine so far. Since today, it feels like my keyboard needs to be calibrated, i'm not able to text anymore. Its acutally no "what you see is what you get", when pressing "e" it makes a p and stuff like that.
In Phone App or other Touchscreen Actions everything works fine... so i'm sure its not a touchscreen related issue.
I already tried a reflash, did superwipe, etc. - will go back to stock ROM now.
Any hits welcome, thanks!

Directional pad issues [solved]

As the title would explain my directional pad on my wing is acting gay. It may be important to note that ive got OpenTouchV3.0SL as a rom an i believe thats where the issues may lie. Also the apps i normally use are the built in opera mini, PocketGnuBoy, BatteryStatus Today plugin, an more recently your htc video app.
Randomly an with no notice my Down or Up wont work, but i change the orientation of the screen so my old left an right would now be up an down the problem changes direction so now the new down an up may not work, tho it just worked as a different direction.
Is this a common problem after a year of use? im in the process of changing the rom to a more recent one because as i said i think thats it but just looking for any other possible explanation before i question what up until now has been an amazing rom.
After trying a new rom an it not working the problem seemed to get worse, slowly closing or opening the screen would make it black out but stay on, then the D-pad started spreading its disease to the softkeys.
With that happening seemed to be a short or loose connection, something like that so i proceeded to break everything down an clean it out while making sure everything was connected extremely well.
Everything is A-ok now an working perfectly, hopefully this may help others who find them self with a D-pad/buttons that are slowly not wanting to work or not as functional as they once were.

00.008.06 liquidE rom issue

Hi guys, i have a weird issue with this rom, i've been using it for like 4 days now, but lately i've been getting random reboots, this happens when the phone freezes up out random, it shows the battery icons with a ? mark and the phone responds to volumen up and down commands but thats it, also the screen and the capacitive softkeys stop working when this happens to, and when i press the power button it restarts its self, i've alrdy wipe data+dalvik+cache and nothing the device keeps on behaving the same, im about to just re-flash the rom, from my acer s200 experience, acer phones tend to have random isolated issues to specific devices/hardware, and mostly these issues are hard to reproduce, anyways i might re-flash the oem rom today, il see if this fixes it or if its just another issue that the rom it self has, as its a beta release, any suggestions will be great appreciated.
edit: i have reflashed 10000 times it still does it, my last option would be to flash 1.6 but meh i like 2.1 better =]
hic, can u help me up rom acer liquid from 1.6 to 2.1 thanks .
It's most likely the ROM, but, still could be the kernel. I have been using the rooted kernel only, nothing else. Actually some lowmemkiller settings. I was not able to test if removing the threshold settings (I forget what the other thing was too) before I sold Liquid.
I can report bad use of the digital compass, when in navigation with google maps or (f.e.) copilot 8.
Gps receiver says that i'm going forward, but digital compass says that i'm going backward.
Stupid compass
Yes, I have the same issue in Navigation. The compass is fine in Google maps app though

Keyboard freezes phone

I have been running stock everything since I got the phone last year. I even was patient and did the OTA for gingerbread. I have had no problems at all, but that changed this morning, and I hope someone here can help me out.
I was using my phone normally, checking mail, texts, games between work and what have you, when suddenly while texting in the stock text app, with the stock multitouch keyboard, the key board froze on the screen. I tried to back out, close the keyboard, go back to my message, but it wasn't having it. Then I tried to go home - the keyboard stayed on the bottom half of the screen (portrait mode) and the top half filled with what would have been the bottom half of the screen. Couldn't touch anything. Hit home again, I got the display of my seven pages, but when I touched one the keyboard stayed and did the same thing to each page. Nothing on the screen worked. Couldn't access settings, menu, what have you. I tried rebooting (thankfully I could touch the power off menu.) Upon restart, everything seemed normal, but when I went back into messaging, the exact same thing happened. I decided then to play around a bit. This happens in landscape mode as well, except upon switching to portrait, half the keyboard just gets cut off and the other half of the screen just goes to black. Sometimes I can get the settings screen to pop up, and if I change the keyboard to Swype, and THEN reboot, everything will be back to normal. Using swype for everything does work, so that's a temp fix. This happened with the stock keyboard in everything I tried -gmail, talk, texting, G+, Facebook, etc....
I could not find anything pertaining to this in the DX forums, so please if any one has any ideas let me know. Thanks a lot!
I tinkered with it a bit when I got home, but could get nothing to work still.
Please, anyone have any idea what's going on?!
This happened to me while on apex rc2 that used the gb kernal... since I have flashed cm7 I haven't had any problems with it... installed better keyboard, so I'm using that now

Had the same problem after upgrading to GingerBread. Ended up reflashing and now after about a week, haven't had the keyboard problem again, but GB is def not as stable with lots of various little bugs and anomolies. My keyboard problem after taking the battery out and restarting it. Actually, several things changed after removing the battery a few days after upgrading to GB??? It was like it needed a "reboot" for all the new features in GB to replace the old.
I seriously can't believe it's this unstable after all this time : (
I will try and install a different keyboard first, before flashing. I think if I do flash, I'm gonna go with a rooted version and start cooking up some roms. It's unacceptable to have the "official" phone to be so much worse.

typing too fast; keystrokes not registering

hey guys
does anyone else have a problem with their atrix, where if you type extremely fast (2-3 char per second), the atrix does not register the key?
i'm not talking about they normal keyboard lag (type and then then 3-4 sec later it shows up on the screen, got rid of that by turning off haptic feedback), my issue is that when I type fast, i can see the popup for a key, but it won't register on the screen.
for example, if i type happy, i would see the popup on the keyboard for each individual letter (H A P P Y), but it would only register H P P Y, almost like the multitouch isn't working properly.
the effect is very pronounced on aftermarket keyboards (i've tried a lot, ICS, GO, swiftkey), and they are all WORSE than the stock keyboard. the simplest fix is to type slowly, but that just ruins my train of thought.
can anyone help?

yeah I noticed this too, it seems like the multitouch doesn't work properly. What ROM are you using? I'm on WetDream 1.2 still. I don't know why it's this way but it makes me very sad. It's very annoying. Anyone else have this?
I have this problem as well. I went on a rampage downloading a million different keyboards, but to no avail.
I have the same problem. Could it be the digitizer?
Are you guys running any CM9 ROM? If so, that's your problem. Since these ROMs are using older drivers that are not made for ICS, you are going to face these problems until Motorola....more like MotoLOLa....releases the ICS drivers later this year.

I accidentally hit the "thanks" button when I meant to hit "quote" but anyways, I'm using cm7 and this problem happens on every different rom that I have tried. I have never had so much problems with a new phone before that I'm starting to think that motorola can't even make phones that work anymore.
Yes I believe the problem is poor implementation from Motorola.
IF you use the stock keyboard (the multittouch one) this problem goes away. Just figured this out this morning.
I am using a blur based stock rom (one of nottach's) so I still have that keyboard available. I think this will be enough to keep me on stock based roms or at least roms that will have that keyboard.

That is very weird. When I was using CM7, I never faced any keyboard issues. It kills me that the Atrix's worst keyboard, IMO, was when I was using stock GB. Absolutely the worst thing ever.

bump for more attention.
I've always had this issue on every ROM with every keyboard I've ever used including the stock Motorola one. I just chalked it up to the multitouch not working since it doesn't seem to work correctly for anything.

I've only ever had this problem with the stock ICS keyboard on a CM9/ICS Rom, the 'solution' was to disable either the keyboard's or android's spelling correction. Can't say I've know exactly what's causing it on anything else, I'm afraid.

problems with my CM10.1.2

When I first had CM 10.1 everything seemed to be working fine and dandy and then I started to update it straight from my device up to my current version 10.1.2.
Recently my nexus 4 seems to be less smooth, sometimes apps just randomly close and it will say, _____ app has closed, or something like that. Normally I'd fix it by either clearing all my recent apps or restarting my phone.
Also, the one thing that had me annoyed was that my emails never send out. They used to before, but now its stuck on the sending... when I check the status. I can receive mail though. I am using the gmail app.
I don't know so far these little things have been bugging me. What would be the problem here? I was even considering going back to stock but really like the custom navigation keys. I have my back button on the right inside of on the left and its much more comfortable for me that way. Is there anything else that will allow me to customize the navigation buttons?

Do us all a favor, and please, upgrade to CM10.2, or at least a 4.3 ROM.
