so, i was looking for a solution to this problem there we have with hw keyboard.
it's a hardware or software problem?
if it's sw, how to fix? if it's hw, motofail can fix it? or now is just our problem?
(HOW COULD I FORGET TO SHOW WHAT PROBLEM? SORRY!)
when you are typing, some letters just don't want to work, and you need to press it again/strongly?

Its a problem at kernel level I believe. Everyone I know that owns this phone has that problem to some degree.

Did you have this problem when the phone was brand new, or it appeared after the phone had some use? Is it always the same keys or it's random?
hmmmm.....the keys are clicking the right way? because my girlfriend's D3 started like that, and now it doesn't click at all, it's like partially a touch keyboard
However, if the keyboard is hardware compromised, you should feel it.
I will try anyway with a uber-clean installation, SBF the phone, put a custom rom, or a different one from your current one and try....
P.S. maybe it could just be the internal flat cable that has detached, i opened the phone several times, and it's a PAIN to make it stay in the right place...maybe an hit could have moved it a little, making the keyboard going mad.
If the D3 is out of warranty, and you have a torx T5 (or T4 can't remember) screwdriver and a bit of patience you could try to open it, reaching the keyboard bus is easy, you just have to unscrew the rear shell....look at the ifixit teardown if you want some pics
(the bus plug is right under the one the guy is unplugging at step 6)

It looks like a broken flat cable to me, or something in the controller chip, i doubt it is a kernel or anyway, a software problem... but i could be wrong

Hmm all I can say is that I have never had this problem, and my XT862 is from November 2011 with a heavy use of the keyboard on a daily basis. All keys work fine and with no delay, unless the system is overloaded with some task of course. Alt works good as well.
I'm using Minimoto 1.7 ROM, you might want to give it a try and see if it makes any difference. I'm also using SwiftKey for text prediction on the hardware keyboard.

motofail, here we go!
It is very much a hardware problem. My D3 had this issue with stock and multiple custom ROMs. For me the a, n, alt, shift, and period keys required multiple presses to function. It persisted for months before I finally contacted Verizon about it and luckily the extended warranty I pay $6 a month for was of some use. They mailed me a replacement at no cost and I can finally use the keyboard.
just flashed 2.3.5 xt860 br, with my tool and is woking fine. look:
qwertyuiop
asdfghjkl
zxcvbnm
and now? G_G hw or sw?

Mine too. I noticed that it helps to restore the settings. Could this be caused by installing a program, for example, Press Reader?
This happened to me a while back, I just re-flashed and it worked again.
You didn't hit the button in the notification drawer did you?
These things rarely flat out break (unless you have an iPhone). Reflashing should do it.

Hello,
Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.
I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.
Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.
Does anyone know a sollution?
Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.
Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it
I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy

Well, half the times I'm writing a message there is at least one key not working, and I have to reopen the app, it's quite frustrating...

I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.
But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.
Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.
However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.
Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.
Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.

The funny part is when this issue occurs, sliding the lock screen also seems impossible
Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.
Does that work for you?

Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?

I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.

i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps
I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.

I saw that in some roms on various devices like Galaxy Mini, and I would like to ask you are there any way to have it on MiniCM9?
What's the point? You already have buttons and they will only take up screen space. It will just make the screen look smaller.
Dunno why, but i like them. Plus I tried them on my friend's galaxy mini and they looked cool and they would be pretty useful for me because my hardware buttons were crappy.
It is impossible to actually add new software buttons to the phone but this app might do thhe trick for ya https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey

I think its totally useless because of our phones screen size. Thoose buttons would took too much space. If your hardware buttons are broken use Button savior from market.
They would look cool, but they're pretty useless for our device!

Can you make a call button for the navigation menu,. My reason for that is there are two menus one on screen and the other on the navigation bar.a standard call button on that bar would make more space thus elements the on screen menu bar altogether.

I have not found any solutions as yet, I think it is related to some service getting killed or something related to memory or IncS hardware limitation. It is quite possible that it is issue with games (due to above) because I remember testing touches with YAMTT app and touches worked fine, probably you can check it for your phone.
As a workaround, I lock-unlock again and see if it works. If it is still not working, long press home key to get app running history, remove that game and open it again (restarting game ). I remember on rare occasions I have to restart my phone.
P.S.
I am not expert, we have many experts here in this forums, so few of above may be incorrect

Yes, same here, its irritating. Have you tried SVHD 2.1 ROM with kangaroo v19 kernel, I am getting the best performance from my phone amongst the ROMs that I have personally tried. At this moment I am not playing games heavily, but have not faced this issue in svhd ROM. I would suggest that you keep ROM for 2-3 days to conclude if that ROM works for you (like performance, battery etc)
Meanwhile let's wait for solutions from experienced user or expert.

Scenario: on call with any service center, they ask u to press bunch of keys according to which department u r trying to reach.
In my case when I'm in call, I can press the keys on on-screen keyboard and they take effect as required, however I don't see what key I've actually pressed.
Is this common issue for everyone? It's not big of a deal only thing is I need to be very sure what exactly I'm typing even then I would like to fix it, if fix is out there.
I'm guessing it will be fixed with custom Rom or an update so I'm not worrying too much (but that seems bit far fetched - due to bootloader camera issue )
