Backspace key malfunctioning?i - Motorola Droid 4

It seems that every time I use the backspace key on the physical keyboard it jumps back at LEAST two spaces. Is this something fixable? I just got this phone and already modded the hell out of it and really don't want to have to send it back...

Keyboard erratic behavior...Please help!!

I just recieved my new Kaiser and love it untill....i tried typing an sms:
- Pressing the "o" key enters the letters "op"
- Pressing the "L" you can actually see it type the letter then it automatically backspaces and deletes it.
- Pressing the "enter" key while in new sms returns you to the phone keypad screen.
- I also notice than when depressing the above mentions keys "o" and "l" and "enter" the orange caps light turns on momentarily. It only happens when those keys are pressed
- Pressing the shif/caps lock and typing does not work with any other letter except that it automatically types "OP" in capital letters and tries to send the message stright after.
HELP PLEASE!
Could this be your problem?

Its interesting, but i never flashed the ROM as the phone came originally with HTC software.
Great.... installed the fix in the link and it worked at fixing the erratic behavior but .... still get the caps orange light when pressing either O, P, L, del or enter. Any thoughts??

Kaiser freezes when I press the letter "W" on keyboard and screen?

Kaiser freezes when I press the letter "W" on keyboard and screen?
Can anyone help?
OK -- now that is strange...
Does this happen with no programs running, or when you're typing in a particular program (Word or whatever)?
It it when no programs are running at all.
The programs I have installed are

Hmmm
Perhaps it will stop once he is out of office!
Ha, funny. But seriously its a strange freeze and i'd like to get it fixed.
Does it still do it when typing in Word?
Backup your stuff and try a hard reset...
Yes still does it while in word
I'm hoping its not a hardware problem -- perhaps the cable to the keyboard is damaged and the w key is causing a short?
Hard to see how that would affect the software keyboard though.
I think your best bet is to backup and hard-reset.
Its not a hardware problem. I just tried the mobile word and it worked for a second and then froze again.
Never mind, still does not work. Only worked when "w" was not the first key i pressed.

Keyboard Problem

Well I currently have a rooted g1 phone, but it is completely useless. Every time I use the keyboard or any keys on the phone(Menu,Home, Power, action, call) button. the buttons were programmed to like press other stuff, for example I press the menu button and it turns off my phone, if I press "I" on my keyboard it erases everything. And If I press the end button it automatically types" u345". What exactly is this? Is this a physical issue? or Is the g1 itself that is messed up? I can barely use the phone! All the buttons type different stuff?!! please help! Hardware problem? or Physical? And idea's of fixing, thanks for reading.
I have a similar problem but not as severe. Almost all buttons work ok, just the buttons in the middle of the hw keyboard like y, h, b and space sometimes print other stuff, b sometimes writes a few characters and opens up the search, n sometimes writes some characters with an 'enter' in between etc. and these random outputs are usually the same, ie I get the same stuff by pressing b over n over again. They work fine after some pressing, and I've noticed if I press these keys immediately after pressing something else, they work fine. The problems has persisted through rooting, flashing, radio change, bootloader change etc. Anyone know what this problem is? Is it a hardware issue should I get it checked? The hardware guys here charge so much I have to be sure before I take this to them. Any way I can correct it myself? Any help would be appreciated.
Your best bet to completely wipe and reflash a stable rom (like Super-D). If problem persists - you have a hardware problem. Sounds like water damage to me to be honest.

Unknown keyboard problem, "enter key" stuck???

I was carrying my xperia in my pocket and all sudden I noticed it was calling, surfing through menus, changing settings... At first I was WTF?? Then I reinstalled rom and it did not fix the problem. I turned on "hardware key sounds" and found out it is constantly pressing one of the keys. I'm 99% confident it is the "Enter key" which is somehow stuck??? It is not physically, I have tactile feedback from the key but is keeping to be pressed in irregular pattern :|
Is this probable dust problem or something else? How can it be fixed?
Oh and another thing. When I press and hold the Enter key I can do everything ok, no unwanted presses whatsoever lol...
X1's hardware Keyboard is troubled.
You may googling how to clean it or if your X1's underwarranty, you may send it to SESC.
But some suggest not to use X1 keyboard. Somewhat, the slider was designed flawly. So In X2, SE tried to fix this annoying problem. or you may try sure press to prevent more keypad being involved.

[Q] Backspace on Emails

Hi,
When I use the backspace in emails on my ICS GN it starts repeating whole chunks of text. Eventually that stops and I can use backspace to get back to where I was.
Very frustrating. Any ideas what's going on or a way round it?
I'm using Thumb keyboard.
Cheers
M
