Sometimes when writing an sms, it seems like insert is on: typing a character in between an existing word, causes the word to be overwritten with the new characters.
Is there a key a accidentally pressed or something? I'm unable to turn it off.
I have the exact same problem - very frustrating because I can't figure out, what I'm doing to 'turn insert on' ... Hope someone has an answer
I think I once got it away by putting the Kaiser in stand by and waking it again (but I'm not sure anymore)
Anyway, I don't know why it happens from time to time...

YESTERDAY my phone locked when i turned hit the power button. i havent used a password device lock since i got the phone months ago so i have no clue how it happened. no passwords would work but i simple soft reset solved the problem.
TODAY i noticed that i didn't have a data connection like usual, since i always have push email running. opened up active sync and all server info was missing.
all i did was a system restore and got everything back to normal.
I have never had any of these problems and i figure i would share them with you in case its a bug of some sort.
every now and then my phone will say its locked; i am unsure if its a button i hit or what; but i then have to use my stylus to be able to hit the small icon that says unlock (or something like that) (it is frustrating when you are driving and the phone becomes lock and you are trying to hit that small icon with you finger to unlock it).
I must say though i have never entered a password for locking nor has my phone required to enter a password when it says it has become locked; but still is wierd that sometimes my phone says its locked and i have to exit out of the lock through the small icon (which is difficult to hit with your finger)......

your situation is probably that you are holding in the red phone button too long. that will lock the phone. mine on the other hand locks and asks for a password.
You know, I had this today. Got my phone out and the screen was much darker than normal. After a bit of prodding I noticed the left softkey had changed to "unlock".
I have no idea why this happene, though just tried holding down the red button as you said and it did indeed lock. How strange!
Yep. Holding the END key results in your phone locking. I used to use this method to lock my phone before S2U2 did it for me.
I believe pretty recently, someone found a way to re-map holding the END key. Do a bit of searching and I'm sure you'll find it.
FYI- back to the topic. has anyone experienced either situation?
Hi.
I have an odd behaviour of my S730/Wings. Say i make regular phonecall. No matter how long it is, 5 seconds or 5 minutes, the moment i hang up the call, the keyboard lock kicks in. A co-worker with the same phone doesn't have this issue, and i cant seem to figure out a way to switch it off. It is rather annoying
Anyone know how to solve this issue, so that the phone locks up only when left alone for some time, or with holding down the red button?
Any help is deeply appreciated

When you end a call... are you holding the end call (red) button, or just tapping it?
I just tap it, i'm aware of the hold-down-red-button-to-lock-keypad. So i cant understand why it locks up...

Hi, I tries searching for the solution to this by the "symptoms", and nothing came out, sorry to open a new thread for my own doubt but...
Whenever I make a call longer than 30 sec (which is when the screen dims down), after the call ended (either by me or the caller hanging) the screen stays dimmed down, and for some reason the everything in the Start Menu bar (except the task manager) is unresponsive through touch. The rest of my today screen still responds to touch or d pads, both on screen softkeys work. The start menu is only accessible with the default win button.
The only way I have found to correct this is by pressing the power button twice (going to standby and back). It's not a huge deal, but it is somewhat frustrating.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thanks in advance =)
EDIT: I'm using stock rom and HTC Dialer.
btw, anyone else having this issue?
I also have this issue but no solution (or i can't find the solution) till now. I think it is the bug in this ROM version so hope new ROM will solve this issue.
It´s a well known bug that has been discussed many times......
It happens when you´ve set a device password and your screen turns off during a call.
Solution 1:
Don´t set a device password
Solution 2:
When the above happens, turn the screen off and then on again (2 quick pushes on the power button) and you should be back in bussiness.
Solution 3 (the one I´m using):
if your exchange server enforces the password on your device (you can´t easily turn it off): install a small cab called StayUnlock (do a quick search, it´s either here or over at www.modaco.com), which will automatically disable your password everytime it´s enforced by your exchange server.
Thanks Michi! Step 1 did the trick, I don't need a pswd on my device anyways. XD
When your new it's hard to follow up or search and find stuff when there is SO MUCH information in here.
Thanks again =)
Hi, new user, daughters Diamond driving me mad.
When writing new SMS, character going into message is from the set to left or right of the box being hit. For example, hit the box with 'a' in and get a 'd' or 'e', click backspace and get a w. If want to cancel text, when asked to save draft, 'Yes' box is ignored, if tap 'No' takes as 'Yes'. Not clumsy fingers as can key a few characters in correctly then goes funny. Tried turn off/on number of times, also recalibrated. Once starts have to turn off/on to clear but problem eventually returns. Any ideas....

Try going to settings, screen and reallign/calibrate the screen.
Hello XDA...
I've had my Xperia for about 5 months now...
First it started by being less responsive on certain letters on the qwerty keyboard and after that it started making double or even triple of the letter i pressed...
I have watched the tutorial on this site but i don't dare to open my phone
Although that is not my biggest problem right now... This problem is very persistent and QUITE annoying!
Let my try to explain it:
All hardware buttons are somehow assigned to different, RANDOM 'tasks'.
Pressing the right action button under the screen makes my phone go into 'settings', quickly overlapped by 'contacts' and then it marks the last inc/outg caller and calls that person.
My button to stop the call is assigned to Album.. so i can't do anything but to take out the battery....
When it starts freaking out and opening all sorts of programs and repeatedly overlaps everything by 'settings' i cant do anything...
I tap the cross in the corner to close everything and it just opens everything again...
I can use the touchscreen to type, text and call normally - but not the hardwarebuttons. Even the qwerty keyboard is acting wierd..
When i press the 'E' button, it is assigned to 'contacts' and 'settings' and 'new contact' somehow......
I have tried alot of different ROM's and the problem persists through all of them...
Has anyone EVER had this problem before?
Is there ANY solution at all?
I can upload a clip on youtube if anyone needs it visually explained.
Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
No answers, hm? Seems like this is a unique problem.
For the record it is now fixed.
My phone wouldn't flash any SPL or whatever... I couldn't even force it into 'rainbow mode' by pressing volume-down and power..
I took out the memory card, and suddenly it was willing to go into rainbow mode...
Somehow i came to the conclusion that if removing 1 card fixed 1 of my problems, the second (SIM-card) would fix my other problem...
I took out the SIM-card and powered up the phone...
It was fully functional, with no hiccups or random apps popping up..
Tried putting my SIM-card back in, and now it's working again
So, no problems after that.
So far, my wierd fix is to:
Remove Mem and Sim card.
Start the phone.. - hopefully without any wierd stuff happening now.
Power off the phone.
Put back the Mem and Sim card.
- Wierd as it sounds, it has fixed my very annoying and wierd problem.
I am now a somewhat happy X1 owner again.
Right untill it started calling my girlfriend randomly and do everything it did before... ARGH, wtf?!?!
