Hello fellow Kaiser users,
I don't know if this happened only with me or others have experienced the same.
TyTN II keys on the QWERTY after a year of use has some keys responding after the 2nd or 3rd stroke of the key.
Did anyone else experience this?
Is there a solution?
It is really bugging me when I'm typing an SMS or typing something down.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hardware suggestions also I will try on my own risk.

Same problem here, but I started noticing it after 4/5 months of use. Would like to know about a solution also.
I feel your pain, this is what is really killing me because the keyboard is a very big part of the phone, and I've only been using it for 7 months. If i knew it would become this unresponsive i would of got an i phone because this phones on screen keyboard and transcriber is useless.
It happened to me after 7 months. The "c" key on my tilt started to become unresponsive so I called up at&t and had it warranty exchanged for a refurb. This second one was already even worse than the one I'd just sent back, so I had them send out another one. This third one is fine, although the "c" key (again, oddly enough) doesn't click like the others. It's responsive, but feels a little different. I didn't feel like going through the exchange process again, so for now I'm living with it.
My 1 month old refurb tilt doesn't type the keys when I press them sometimes. I should have that fixed. I thought it was a software problem...
My brand new XPS M1530 does the same thing sometimes. I guess I reckoned it was just me not pressing on the keys hard enough or something like that...
So I'm not the only one with the problem...
But no solution?!
Even a hint of what might be causing this would help..
have you guys tried using the disable XT9 cab ?
yes
I think it is H/W cleaning related
How to clean is the deal...
you can find disassembling guides on mikechannon's web. just follow the disassembling instructions and after you remove keyboard, try cleaning it.
Same problem for me.
I'm always very carefull with my device, and don't use the hardware keyboard very often.
Now for some letters I really have to press harder to make them work.
I have my device for only 6 or 7 months.
Have had my Kaiser for 6 months now and the Y and B keys are starting to go out. For the past couple weeks I have been considering sending it in for warranty exchange but I have taken very good care of my Kaiser and worry about what I would get back...
Anyone eager enough tried disasembling and cleaning?
Moreover, did it work?
funny thing here is that I get more unresponsiveness in the right side of the keyboard (enter; L; P; direction keys).
It is a real pain...
Most prolly will do it soon
Will let you all know of the outcome
Same here.
Had mine 8 months, the W key is worst, takes a really heavy press to get it to work, has been like that for about 5 months.
Now the B is also getting bad, so is the S.
If i'm likely to get a refurb back i guess i'll just put up with it until my contract is up.
I'm facing the same problem on my HTC herald. HTC keyboard quality has gone way down. I never faced such problem when I had htc universal.
Hey man,
since you had quite some ppls share of PPCs;
did you disassemble any of them before?
Do you think it's a good idea to do it myself?
I'm extra careful normally but I'm having doubts

Similar problems here with my Tilt. FN, CAP/SHIFT, N are all problematic for me.
Has anyone tried a spray liquid electronic "contact cleaner" on a device like this before?
Weird
Oddly enough, I have had this problem a little bit with mine as well. However mine is the space bar. I, like many others I am sure, have hopped from ROM to ROM. When I changed ROMs the last time, it seemed to fix the issue. It was really weird because a lot of the times I would type something, and the letters would turn out something like this:
Iw antt oe at atj oes.
Like I said, I just swapped ROMs and it seemed to fix it. maybe the t9?

You are correct sir! Just run "disable xt9" (found plenty of places on the kaiser forum) and your problem should be fixed.
I too have had this problem. I noticed it with the d, r, and space bar keys. Interestingly enough the keys that i press often (Take A for example [I have it mapped to the A button in PocketNesterPlus]) aren't hard to press at all. What I'm trying right now is pressing the problem keys over and over again to see if they "loosen up". Best Case Scenario: It works. Worst Case Scenario: I ruin an expensive piece of equipment.
Update: This might be working. To test which keys were unresponsive i typed abcdefghijklmnop.... without exerting any extra effort. The keys w and r didn't show up so i kept working them. I repeated the test and I got r to work. perhaps i am unknowingly pressing r harder, or perhaps not.
Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Diamond. When a private number calls, it gets dropped after the first ring, before I get a change to get then phone even out of my pocket?
Its really frustrating... and its starting to do it on number, unbarred numbers?
Has anybody seen anything like this before? It doesn't happen all the time, but its getting pretty consistent!
I'm running SwiftBL 5.6 and Radio 100.05.25
Please help!

yes, I'm experiencing the same thing too and I'm using the official 1.93 rom.
as far as I know, it doesn't only affect private call and the problem is very random.
What I notice is the phone will keep ringing until you press any button or the touchscreen to answer or mute the call and that's the time the phone will drop the call....hoping to find solution too....
I had the same problem with the HTC 1.93 ROM. Changing radios made no difference. Switched to Swift v5.6 and all is OK. BTW am in UK on Orange.
even with 1.37 rom, i'm also having the problem....wonder does anyone know what's the problem and solution....
I had this problem after I've tried to sort out the 3 sec delay problem... After a Hard Reset and not playing with the 3 sec delay problem everything is fine....

hmm....I didn't mess with that delay at all but still the problem is there...
Lay your phone on the table and try again.
Most comes with the problem in your pocket.
As soon as the phone rings the touchscreen is enabled and it drops the call because it thinks you pressed ignore.
This problem can be solved by s2u2.
I had the same problem and solved it with this program.
It blockes your touchscreen unless you slide it from left to right completely.
Grtzzzz
Yeah, thats exactly it I think... because its always in my pocket, but I have the HTC case, which by the time I've either take it out of my pocket or out of the case, the call has gone!
Does anybody have a link for that app s2u2.
I will try this... because I tried changing the ringer settings and all sorts, and nothing helped! All the iPhone and N95 guys are slagging me at work! Apart from that its by far the best phone in the office
Cheers for the help!
Will report back if I find that and app if it works!

definitely not due to that problem. Numerous time, my phone was not in my pocket but on the desk already. A couple of time when the phone ring, I pick it up and press the answer button(touchscreen and hardware button) but it just drop the call....haizzzz
No one else has this problem?
I'm getting exactly the same problem (I'm using the official Vodafone 1.93 ROM)...really annoying!
I am getting this problem too... anybody have a solution? Whenever a private number comes in, when i click on the answer tab, the call will just disconnect... this is very fustrating...
I also get this issue, always with a private number and sometimes with a stored number. At first I thought it was becuase I was touching the screen when I first took the phone out of my pocket but like someone else said this also happens when its on a table.
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Ok, this might be the first real problem I've had with my tilt, in a sense that I have no freakin clue what happened or how to fix it. The front buttons on the tilt as well as my keyboard decided they wanted to stop working and I have no clue how to bring them back... let me start from the beginning.
I installed m2d about 2 weeks ago, its kind of laggy but I'm still impressed with the overall UI as it compliments the tilt. Some bugs started popping up here and there but through the forum I was able to make it run relatively smoothly. Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts together. Than today my screen would wake up for no reason, with no programs or application running in the front or background of the device. It was annoying to say the least. Than I got my first text of the day and went to respond using the actual keyboard, no dice. No response from the keyboard. So as Im typing using the stylus I tried to delete something, and the backspace button on the touch keypad isn't working, so more problems. I want to try and hard reset the device to see if that fixes the problem, but since I can't use the hard buttons on the front of the device I can't hard reset (the scroll wheel, ptt, and ok buttons aren't working either) Is this anything anyone has ever heard of? My tilt is kind of battered after a year of use, but nothing significant has happened within the last month to make me think that something inside came loose, especially since this just started today and it was just sitting on my table all night. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.
might be "m2d" not compatible ... hair wired ..
I wonder ..whether we can install window CE from pc to h/p through usb link ...
"Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts"
r u using original usb cable ..b'cos now a day I saw many only using normal "small" usb cable head which easily spoil the connector at phone ... too loose for that sharp..

Go to Start/Settings/System/Clear Storage
and your usb is probably whack
@kaiserII...your usb is whack, haha. that **** made me laugh.
having same exact issue
ya it happened to me sunday night, having exact same problem. keyboard doesnt work, and my front buttons dont work exept for the the center button which ends up opening the start menu (wrong command). Im over my 1 year warrenty and not sure what to do. Had to buy a cheap 40 dollar nokia for the time being, please help if someone can. Oh and I did a hard reset, and it didnt fix anything. Booted android with it and 1 out of 5 times the buttons came back, this is really weird/vexing.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me!! Coming on randomly, draining the battery really quickly and the same keys doing the same things as yours i.e. nothing or Start menu. The backspace and space don't work on the on-screen keyboard either. Is it the end of the road or has anyone the slightest idea what the hell to do!?!?!?
Same issue but slightly different
2 days ago I started hearing a noise from my phone that was not something I normally hear. After checking my phone I found out it was the voice recorder program opening up on its own. It started repeatedly doing this and recording automatically. I had to hold down the close option (X) and before it would stop. AFter a reset and when the phone wakes up it always does this now. Along with all these whacky problems my hard buttons stopped working. My scroll wheel and D-pad sometimes work and only the up, down, left and right arrows work on the keyboard. Camera button seems to work sometimes also. All others have stopped responding. Except for holding the power key. I just reflashed my phone to latest phoenix ROM and problem is the same. Is this it for the phone or is there a fix.
Anyone??? Please!!
Try this free fix
I had the same problem as the original poster. My fix was to download AE Button Plus trial and use it to reset my keys to their original setting. I did not have to do the keyboard, just the external keys. Now my tilt works like it used to.
This fixed the problem when clear storage and reloading roms did not.
It doesn't hurt to try since the trial is free.
Good Luck,
Will
same here... help pls...
any one yet has found a solution for this issue??? 2days ago my Kaiser suddenly started with same problems, buttons dont work and the recorder goes on, any one yet found a way to fix it??? thanks...
I have no idea if this will actually help anyone but I installed japanese input on my kaiser once and during the process a registry got edited that stopped my hardware keyboard and the hardware keys (front keys) from working and the fix was to correct the value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010411]
edit the 0010411 value to "00000409"
again I have no idea if this will help but it wouldnt hurt to check to see if the registry somehow got changed. Goodluck and I hope you guys figure it out.
didnt work...

This is intresting, I just posted on this, as I am having the same issue, which of course just started a few days ago. I have the updated UI as well but I installed it as well.
Any idea how to fix it??
keyboard fix "edfc" problem
yes , kaiser tweak slide wake disabled ...it OK
Greetings from Olsztyn Poland
Unfortunately, the problem returned it was only a temporary improvement, sorry
For my tytn2 after rom upgrade, the front buttons do not respond except the central one. the side buttons are responding under the win only but in the bootloader screen they don't respond. and I cannot make a hard reset.
I did a hard reset through the setting menu but still the problem has not been solved. Adding on that the keyboard doesn't work except the arrow keys.
Do anyone can figure a solution for that. except the hardware problem bec I am out of warranty.
Did anyone was able to solve the problem fully?
oo wow, i have the same problem. hope theres a fix
adding to that the the bluetooth is turnino on by itself even if I switched it off and the device by itself after time of switching it off it refuse to start again unless I did a soft reset.
I tried all the avilabe suggestion but nothing worked.
Hiya
This seems to be a problem with the TyTn II - there are several threads in this forum about it, none of which have any working solutions that I ever found...
I spent ages trying different ROMS, Radios and pressing of buttons and haven't found a solution - other than to disown the TyTn II and get another phone! I did pick it up again the other day and it is still refusing to have working buttons or keyboard (as reported by others, only the central buttons seems to work all the time as a Start Menu button).
I did manage to stop it eating battery at a ridiculous rate by turning it to specific radio settings rather than letting it find its own GPRS/ 3G and phone band. I think it was in this thread
I was considering sending my TynTn II to HTC, but I'm not sure it's going to be worth the postage and their service fees as I've already replaced it with a Touch Pro 2. Then again if we ALL sent them in, they might acknowledge some sort of problem with this model.

can I know how did u mange to change the rom? bec even my side buttons refuse to work whenever I am at the bootloader screen and the upgrade through the active sync failed.
First of all. Xperia x1 - the best phone till this day.
but i have some problems. I have the phone abouth 5-6 months now and:
1. M, N and SPACE buttons sometimes when i vant to tap a button they write like MMMM or NNN ajd SPACE semethimes tipes 3-4 spaces instead of just one.
2. for the last 3 weeks sometimes while making a call i dont hear a thing but then i turn on the speaker and i can hear the ringing or the other person who has already answerd. but it i turn off the speaker i dont hear him any more. I noticed sometimes it helps if i slide open and close the phone but not always.
3. Abouth an hour ago I wanted to slide open the phone to surf the net a little and when i start tho slide the screen (even very slowly) whe screns every other row gets black imediatly, the other rows of pixels that didnt get black imediatly start to fade and in a second of 2 the whole screen is black here and there some grey stripes are visible but it looks awful. like my xperia is diyng.
problem 2 and 3 seem to be caosed because of some slider/contact problem.
Now i have hard SPLed my xperia and i would like to get it to factory settings. I would like even that bootloader version or what ever its called to be the factory one. I have original WWE R3AA but the bootloader is stil the dard SPLed one Onlix or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas abouth my 3 problems?
Does anyone have any idea abouth recovering the factory bootloader?
Ty guys

I lol'd.
OP he is right. Your problems are hardware related, not software.
yeah i have the same problem! most of the keys of the left side of the keyboard write multiple times. I'd not call Xperia the best mobile... sony messed up on this phone! all the pre release hype amounted to a greatly faulted machine! if 800$ gets you a phone whose case paint comes off easily, keyboard starts to die, cracks on the case and really sucky panels then how can it be a great device! too bad now i am stuck with this abomination!
The keyboard issue is a common one I think. I took mine back to be repaired and it came back with a new keyboard....
has anyone else experinced there n1 keyboard sometimes just spazzing out..?
meaning you hit one letter and it either writes multiple of that letter or just writes other letters completly..
or for that matter youre trying to slide down the notification bar and nothing happens or the screen just slides to a different home screen..
ive been having that happen to me for a while and sometimes putting it to sleep and bringing it back is a quick fix, sometimes not.. any ideas and fixes?
Thank you
It happens, most of us have experienced it.Likely the digitizer.
Locking/unlocking does fix it. Make sure you're on the latest version of Android too.
Yeah its a well known nexus problem. Just lock and unlock the screen fixes it. Cheap touch layer:-(
Yes I do have the latest update. Sometimes it makes me want to throw the phone. Always seems to happen when. I need the phonebthe most lol. Thank u
holy hell this is happening alot to me now.... its been doing it for the last couple of hours and im trying to text and its impossible!! even tried rebooting cm 6.0
May be dust under the screen?
