In the past few days, my keyboard has been acting up. I've been using Smart Keyboard pro since the day I got my phone and LOVED it, but for the past few days, it's been acting the bollix. Basically, I could be pressing the delete button for maybe 4 or 5 times, and it would enter 2 z's and delete 3 charachters?
I thought that it might just be the keyboard, so I switched to the default one, and it did happen, but not as much. I have just installed the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market, and it seems to be working ok, but it's still annoying. Anyone else had any problems with their keyboard entering random letters?

Try removing the factory installed screen protector... it does wonders for touch sensitivity and brightness of the screen. I highly recommend it.

already done that
I too have had this problem twice now.
The first fix was to install Gingerbread Keyboard and it seemed to fix.
Then i had the same problem again (If i pressed "p" it would also press "t" and pressing "delete" would also press "c") and fixed it by cleaning the screen with a wet wipe.
The problem for me when it happens is basically when you press the right hand side of the screen in landscape mode, it also think you are pressing the middle of the screen at the same time.
Its only happened twice so im not all that bothered.
Try cleaning the screen with wet wipe and see if it fixes.
I've been using swype...and as cool and innovative as it is...I'm always having to double our triple check my text msgs and posts...lately I've been having to correct my corrections..its a bit ridiculous so I'm trying to get into the habit if reading what I type every few words..

I just posted a thread about a multitouch issue on the xperia play. I think it may be causing your problems. It may not make sense what I am saying right now but if you read my thread it might make sense.
Basically when you are typing fast you will definitely have 2 touch points on the keyboard. and the Xperia Play is counting more than 2 touch points. So your third touch maybe registered as a 3rd finger.
Here is my post if you want to take a look
OK. I've just cleaned the screen with a wet wipe. I'm going to post this message and leave it if it makes any incorrect entries.
Seems to have worked. I will now try landscape orientation.
OK, so portrait seems to have worked well enough. I'm trying out the landscape input now. Seems to be working. I was kinda worried about this problem, but cleaning the screen seems to have sorted it out.
Also, I have installed swype, but I do not really like it. Its awkward. I used to love it on my WinMo 6.1 phone (Omnia) however, I do not feel that i should be restricted to what keyboard I can use because of the phone not responding to input properly.
Back to portrait, OK. Seems to have worked. Nope, its doing it again now. Dunno why?
Stress

I have a question.
Is this problem consistent like it happens every single time or does it come and go?
I personally use swype and I love it. I have not had this problem yet.
It's not a software problem, it is hardware.
When mine has had the problem, it does it on stock keyboard, chinese keyboard and gingerbread keyboard.
Basically, for me, when i touch the furthermost right hand side of the screen in landscape mode, it also registers as touching in the middle of the screen too.
Well it only started happening in the past few days. I'm gonna reflash back to 2.3.3 stock and see does that fix the issues. If not what's everyone's suggestions?

Tried to replicate this problem using the stock keyboard, and couldn't get the problem to happen.
So i'm not the only one who is having this problem?

Well that was just my theory to the OP. The multitouch problem does exist but I thought the problems with the OP's keyboard was related to this. Turns out its not.
I flashed CM7 and haven't experienced this problem yet, but I'm sure I will at some stage... *sigh*
Sometimes my backbutton fires twice. Its very annoying when browsing and going a page back and it actually jumps 2 pages back.
I checked the behaviour with the app "KeyEvent Display" and it clearly shows that sometimes 4 events are fired instead of 2 (keyup + keydown).
The app requests root, but you dont need it for only testing the keyevents. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks
Mine does exactly the same, from what I've worked out its related to the phone running slow but I have no idea how to fix it, if we find an answer if be very grateful its very annoying!

Tested a bit more. The menu button is also haunted here. Fires sometimes multiple events like a fukn uzi. I really hope its not hardware related and se will fix the softwarebug

I feel left out haha ive never had this problem. I have however had an issue where the screen decides to freak out and decides to do things at random, it gets annoying when im typing and all of a sudden all the keys start being pressed on thier own.
locking and unlocking fixed is temporarily.
Does anyone have a custom rom flashed with this issue still happening? That would tell us pretty quick if it was hardware/software related.
I have had this problem too well since i upgraded to 2.3.3
I have a UK Sim free generic handset unmodded.

All the custom roms except for CM7 are based on the SE stock rom anyway, so if anyone on CM7 dosent have this problem the info would be useful
I have same issues with this for the up and down arrow it always post two key strokes in Bruce lee. I can't do some special moves and finish moves because of this I am wondering if I should try and get a replacement Verizon stock ROM
Could the double back button issue be caused by the circle button?
Maybe as you press the back button the back of the screen also pushes the circle button?
I dont have this issue btw.
Tbh i have only noticed this problem if i have the phone in my right hand and i use my thumb to press the back button (reaching over the phone to the back key). If i use the phone in my left hand and use my thumb no problem lol.
If i use it normally (phone in 1 hand and using a finger from my other hand) to press the keys i do not have this problem..... Strange
Well, I think I worked out what's happening. Try holding the 'R' shoulder key and press the back button.
I imagine what is happening is android is picking up the shoulder button press but it doesn't do anything. Then pressing the back button fires the event twice. The same way you can fool windows into repeating the wrong key when you hold 2 buttons down (may be fixed in windows ).
Now the question is, how the hell fan you fix it?
I'll submit it to SE later on tonight and see what they say.
EDIT: definitely seems to be certain apps. It doesn't happen in settings but does happen in tapatalk.

Hi everyone,
I recently bought the Nexus 7, and honestly, for $200 I couldn't be happier. However, there is one minor issue with the Nexus 7. Randomly, touches will stop registering, and sometimes things like the power button will cease to function as well. After a while, everything will start working again as if nothing had happened earlier. However, recently, I've been seeing a force close in random apps (sometimes launcher, sometimes settings) as soon as it starts working again. Although I am rooted right now, I've experienced the same issues on a purely stock OS as well. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks so much.

i am in the same boat. i am NOT rooted (yet) and i am wondering if this might be a warranty issue. the screen just stops responding all of a sudden and takes multiply presses to make it move. it comes back but keeps missing touches. a restart certainly fixes that but it will happen again.
Same issue here with random unresponsiveness calling both Google and Gamestop to see what option is best for me.

Same here. A GPlay rep said a factory reset should correct it.
Havent done it yet
Having the same issue. A hard reboot fixes it temporarily but it happens again after a few hours.
Saw a YouTube video on this a couple of days ago. There are a ton of them there now. Here's just an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BOTU75DBUA. Some other guy had done more elaborate testing, but can't find that one right now. It seems like a widespread problem. Do you notice this happens when the unit gets hot perhaps? Just curious... The guy in the other video said that it'd go away each time by simply turning off the screen and turning it back on... but that's not normal obviously.

Just turning off the screen and waking it back up usually "fixes" it for me...its happened about 3 times already...
I get it sometimes but it feels more like it's lag related then the screen.

The issue(s) that I'm experiencing is random touch screen unresponsiveness/ lagg. So I repeat this is not about dead spots or multi touch issues.
Feel free to link other threads with similar issues to this, I've searched but only find dead spots, multi touch issue, screen crackling and dead screens.

Same Screen Issue
The screen on my Nexus 7 is randomly becoming unresponsive and I have to restart the tablet. It is usually happening after using apps that are video memory intensive (Google Earth, Google+). I hope Google or Asus will fix this issue because I love the tablet and I would hate to send it back.
I have the same issue. Usually it happens when a resource hog is running in the background. It is annoying but I can deal if its infrequent.
Sent from one of my devices, you nosey bastards.
I think it may be hardware related. My first N7 had this issue and I exchanged it (albeit for other reasons). My new unit has had zero problems, even when running the same apps. Draw something and chrome were the biggest culprits before.
+1. When it becomes unresponsive, I briefly press the power button to shut the screen off, then turn the screen back on and for me that solves it 90% of the time. The remaining 10% of the time, well, it's just frozen so I long-press the power button to reboot the tablet.

My son and I have experienced this too. It seems to happen most frequently with games. However, sometimes when I go to Settings->Apps, it will go to its "Happy Place" and freeze up for a while. Letting it sit will eventually cause a dialog to pop up asking if I want to close it because it is not responding. I'm thinking that it's a software issue because even when I've been playing games, the Nexus isn't very hot. Is there a way to file a bug report with Google?
I had this issue when I received my replacement 7.
After I did a system update and the issue has not returned. I received my replacement on 07-27.
I would suggest trying to do a system update and see if that may help.
Edit:
Removed the Build Number, as I can not remember which BN shipped with the replacement.
Heelo.
I have noticed that sometimes (happened to me 3 times in 4 weeks now) while doing random things (most recentone was when i was looking at a picture on facebook and wanted to exit the picture), back and menu buttons under the screen don't respond. Home button works, touchscreen works, but menu and back key doesn't. In order to make it work I have to turn the screen on and back on so that they start working. I am using OMEGA 3.1 ROM and Faux 003 kernel.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Check if on stock rom it doesn't work either, or ask in the rom/kernel thread.
Sent with Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT I9505)
As I mentioned it happened 3 times in about 4 weeks now, so it's not a kind of thing that I could test with other roms, because it's very very rare. But I have also noticed that sometimes the same two buttons are less responsive than other times (like sometimes I can barelly press it with a tip of my index finger and it responds, but other times it does not respond when touched with point of finger, it only responds when I touch it with the pad of my finger - does it have something to do with electricity or softer skin on pads of fingers?).
Thank you
I've had this a few times in a bit over a week. Doesn't bother me as it's pretty rare and most likely a bug that will be fixed or possibly bugs in the apps themselves.
Good thing home button still works.

I also think it's a bug. Just had to ask as I didn't find anything with google
Thank you!!
I think he asked if you could test on a stock rom so you can see if its a hardware issue. Ive had mine for almost 4 weeks now and my back and menu button never failed to respond so far. Im on stock btw.
Same thing has happened to me a few times also.
I will be using an app or something, attempt to push the back button to get out of that app, and all of a sudden both the back button AND menu buttons die.... u press the area where they are located and nothing happens, no vibration, no light up, no nothing. The only way to fix it, is to restart the phone.
Only happens very rarely - and hard to guage when it might occur and repeat, due to its random nature.
Same thing happens to me. Also very rare, it's happened twice in 1 month

Hello,I have the same lag?
Anyone else have noticed this?
Yes, I've got the same problem. It took so long the other day that I missed the call completely.

anyone have an solution?
First thing I would do is a hard reset - A pain I know, but doing so you can check whether it is potentially a Hardware issue with multitouch/touch etc.
Once you've done that, if it's still exhibiting the same behaviour check your screen behaviour on touch reactions on normal day-to-day use. There may actually be an app for it. (the Note 3 suffered some touch problems, not saying the S5 has them but have to check to be sure) .
If it is deemed a software glitch and a reset fixes it then you should be OK. - However if it's a touch screen bug I'd suggest returning/swapping it.
I'm more inclined to believe it's a software glitch, and a factory reset will indeed solve the problem.
Oke,thanks
Same issue! Did a factory reset but didn't help. Send it to local service center, they keep telling me there is no issue with the phone and that when it happens I should record a video as evidence of the problem. So much so Samsung warranty! Plus I have encountered ransom reboots when answering the phone.
Totally unhappy with S5. It is terrible. S4 and S3 were very stable.

i did noticed that too..
on mine if you put directly your finger in the circle and drag it works 1st try..
i still didnt have time to hard reset to be sure..
I noticed this too. I find that you have to hold your finger on the green answer and slide slowly. It's definitely a software problem that will hopefully be fixed in an update.
Factory reset makes no difference as done this for another problem I was having.

Don't suppose anyone has found a solution to this yet? Or any alternatives to the stock dialer that might perform better?
I also get a lag between selecting a text field and the keyboard popping up which is very frustrating. Had expected more from a brand new phone
I had this problem at first as well, but after the latest update it fortunately disappeared, I did a full wipe as well.
Same problem here! Partially solved with enabling home button to accept calls....

I disabled the lockscreen animation and that helped making the device more snappy. Here are some more usefull tips http://phandroid.com/2014/04/25/samsung-galaxy-s5-first-14-things-to-do/.
I also have this lag when I'm trying to respond. It only woks on the 2nd attempt.
There's definitely a knack to answering a call, which can be quite annoying. Cannot understand why they didn't just leave it alone. Would rather answer my calls with a quick swipe to the right.
