Anyone elses Tilt keyboard acting funny?

Just wondering if anyone else's Tilt is acting up like mine, the keyboard when sending texts will sometimes miss a good bit of key presses and I have to go back 3 or 4 times to register the key.
It worked fine at first so I figured it was something I did so I tried a hard reset and after about 30 minutes it started again.

yup - my keyboard has been crappy since day 1. i often miss key presses and the 'click' feedback isn't there on some presses.
never had a problem with my 8525s - had 3 of them and the keyboard was always flawless.
waiting for a store to get more stock so i can see if have a faulty keyboard.

yeah i have strange problem with my keyboard too. it only seems to be missing key presses for double-letters, like the 'pp' in 'happy' or 'll' in 'hello'. the second letter sometimes doesn't show up.
its strange because typing things like 'apapapapapapa' quickly over and over again, it doesn't seem like any of the letters are getting dropped.

is this with the AT&T rom? the HTC rom? or both?

this is the at&t rom, without the bloatware installed.

With all the crap that AT&T did to their ROM, I don't know why anybody on here uses it. I had it for half an hour before I couldn't stand it anymore and switched to the HTC ROM.

same bug with german t-mobile rom... its like the device is busy.

unfortunately the same on HTC Tytn II German Rom too.

so is this a defect with the hardware or the software? i dont want to bother exchanging it if it happens on every device.

disable word complete and auto correct and see if it works a little better
did for me
dld

I experience missed key presses but rarely. I do however experience a probelm when using shift quite a bit. If I want to capitalize a letter I hit shift and then type the word, sometimes it will also capitalize the second letter. So Happy would be typed out as HAppy. It's annoying going back to fix it!!!!!!!!!!

didn't work for me. German HTC ROM. Only happens if double letters are typed quickly. second letter gets lost. it is definitely a bug!

I noticed that the "C" button I have to press harder to get it to work.. I'm going to see if I can have my tilt replaced ..

Just info no solution.
Using HTC shipped ROM
There are two issues outlined: Repeated letter getting missed and Shift causing capitalization of second letter as well as the first.
Issue one I cannot reproduce even with auto correct and word completion set to on. No matter how fast I get the letters in, both letters appear. The implication is that it may be a ROM issue, but also of course may be due to other apps installed. Less likely to be hardware, except in as much as some people may be pressing less firmly for the second letter???
The second issue where after pressing shift two letters instead of the first only are capitalized. I can reproduce this but only under fixed circumstances:
1.
There needs to be a clear release of the first letter before the second is pressed. So for example if you hit (shift) then an "A" with your left thumb and "L" with your right thumb the both letters will be capitalized if you are still pressing the "A" when you hit the "L". Never will it then give a third capitalized letter because clicking the second letter cancels the (shifT) key.
2.
If the first letter and the second are very close together say "D" and "E" it is possible to move from one to the other without releasing the first and again both letters will be capitalised.
So in conclusion I think this happens when either the letters are imediately adjacent to each other or if the first letter is not being released fast enough ie before the second one is pressed (easy to do if you are using two fingers to type quickly)

ya, this is an issue with the kaiser and the tilt (i've owned both). It was the samew ay with the blackjack. This is VERY annoying and i would LOVE to find a fix for it.
Thanks,

re: Mike
thanks for the test. it does seem like it would be a software problem, but i have installed both the att and the cooked rom from the kaiser upgrading forum, and they both have the double-letter problem.
i tried it right after i loaded the cooked rom, so i dont think it would be any software i loaded. and whether auto-correct/word completion on, it happens.
anyone else have any ideas?

some just posted this in howardforums:
have you tried changing this?
Start->Settings->Buttons->Up/Down Control and make the delay short.
i tried it and it seemed like it made it better? it doesn't seem to refer to the keyboard but it works i think...?

"W" letter

hey ive been having this problem for the past couple days and was wondering if anyone has experianced the same thing or could shed abit of light on it.
basically whenever writing a text, or word document or typing a web address, etc and i click on the letter "w" nothing comes up and the phone crashes, doesnt let me type anything, goes super super slow and doesnt really respond to nething so i have to reset it. this happens when using the "w" on the on screen keyboard and on the pull out keyboard.
i havnt dropped it recently and its in perfect condition, also havnt installed anything recently that may hav caused it. it just seemed to randomly start happening. will have to try a hard reset if theres no other solution, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

I would suggest a hard reset. If it is a software error that should do the trick.
But i guess this has something to do with hardware. I had that problem with my wizard. The commanager button caused the device to crash. Once I opened it I found about 1 kg of dust sitting behind the button. Once that was out of the way the device was normal again.
edit: Just try opening the device as a last resort.
here you can find the service manual. Link removed - no longer valid

thanks mate, may try a hard reset then. but i'll leave it till weekend after exams have finished as its quite time consuming installing everything again, etc.
i perhaps should have mentioned that it only crashes if "w" is the first letter i use. if i type something else an then use it, it seems to work. (altho i havnt tested this properly, i'll assume this is usually the case). just seems like a very strange problem to get
anywayz, thank you for ur advice

nice screen name Is this a stock ROM or a cooked one? maybe the keyboard fix would correct it?

haha thank you.. umm.. its the default one that came with the t-mobile mda vario III. was working fine up until the other day.. whats this keyboard fix u speak of tho?

I have almost the same problem with my "w" key also. I have to press it longer than i do other keys to get it to type a "w" and when i do it causes a slow down on my phone.

sounds like its time for a song..
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1022602
lol.. u can spell out the name of the band without the letter W.. so its good.
flobots - No "W"
anyway.. on topic.. wat rom is A7LAS using?

u542i3 error - need help!

ok my phone has this really annoying error where it will randomly start coming up with number and letters. i thought it was just random at first, but realised it was u542i followed by an unlimited row of 3's every time. this renders my phone unusable because the number 3 keeps being pressed and i cant press any other button. it happens when the keyboard is open or closed. it also does it when the onscreen keyboard is enabled and disabled. i have had the problem a few imes before but it goes away for a good while, but then comes back and its starting to get really annoying. has anyone had this error before and does anyone have a solution.

Water/Liquid damage? Sounds like something internal being shorted out. This behaviour usually happens with moisture or liquid getting inside (well it did with my last phone anyway.) If so, then i think replacement is probably the only option unless you're techy enough to open it up.

ok thanks. i dont know how it wold have got liquid damage though seein as i havent dropped it in water or anything. i cant get a replacement because it doesnt have any warranty. i guess i will just have to wait for the problem to go away again.

You mean it's writing these characters as if they came from the keyboard? You'd think the keyboard would be disabled when closed.

Tired of the sensitive screen

the screen is killing me.. its too sensitive and i cant use keyboard more than couple of letters.. everytime i want to type something on my keyboard its just starting to push the buttons by itself after a couple of letters i type. when i wipe the screen with something slightly wet then it comes back to life but it's just repeating itself all the time. i tried different roms different keyboards but problem is still there. i had the same problem with my Z ultra then i sold it and bought Z1 but it seems like the curse is following me.. any solutions for this problem.. because its quite annoying me..

dont bother guys.. fixed it..

Mind sharing the solution?

Anyone having issues with Samsung Keyboard input?

Alright since the first day of release when I got the phone, the keyboard has been acting all funky. There are times that the autocorrect does nothing to correct any mistakes (like "im" to I'm"), nor does it tag misspelled words (doesn't tag "thr" or "adlalkdj" as a wrong spelling). Here's another weird one: oftentimes I correct a misspelled word I just typed, corrected it, and when I hit space, the whole word disappears. Like if I typed in "thr" oh I just hit backspace and replaced r with e, hit space and the whole word disappears (like wow really, Samsung?). Keep in mind this is a brand new phone. Typing has never been the same. Could it be the keyboard data was transferred by Smart Switch when I shifted from my S7 Edge? I've reset the keyboard so many times and it still gives me the same issues. After doing a lot of research online, seems that no one else is having an issue so it might be a software issue for my device specifically. I really don't want to factory reset the phone at this point.
Any thoughts?

No issues whatsoever. updated to Swiftkey 5 minutes after I took it out the box.

You are NOT the only one. Check the Note 7 thread and Android Central forums. I have the same issue. Read that people recommend Chrooma Keyboard cause it cause no lag. I was having issues with Swiftkey.

Same here the stock keyboard is screwed up massively and it's only the T-Mobile variant. Also the fact that it uses Samsung voice input instead of google voice input which is horrible and will not allow you to curse. I've looked into this and on the Sprint, AT&T and Verizon Note 7's they all work just like my s7 did, Seamless with google voice input but not the T-Mobile phone. I really hope this gets fixed asap.

It's a software issue with their keyboard.

same here. ive even checked all my settings. kinda annoying and makes you type slower lol

idk i dont have that problem. but i also have autocorrect off. i never liked it. And most sites will highlight incorrectly spelled works, so i saw no need for it. And if i didnt know how to spell a work i speak to text it lol..

I had no problem with my T-Mobile version but I switched over to google keyboard after a while because I was use to typing on that on my previous device.

I'm used to the Samsung Keyboard but I've also switched to Google Keyboard because of the terrible auto-correct currently with the Samsung one. Can't wait for our first software update.

yes, its extremely annoying
ill mispell a word, backspace to correct it, and when i hit space the whole. word disapears.
i moved to swiftkey which sucks compared to Samsungs key board.
where is the patch!?

On my old phone, Samsung keyboard's auto correct feature literally didn't allow me to type word that wasn't in the dictionary, which drove me bananas. I turned off auto correct, problem solved. N7 keyboard is much better in that regard, but if I have any problems in future, will just do the same, turn off auto correct. A lot of my typing is not in dictionary like txs, tks, plse etc. so no big loss. I like Samsung keyboard more than any other.

Yeah, I heard good things about the stock keyboard, decided to try with the new 7, same issues as op, finally installed SwiftKey, no problems.

My new s7 edge is doing exactly the same thing yours is. Sometimes if i correct a word, hit space, it will actually erase everyyhing I've written! It can't spell much of anything i may need to double check
I was just trying to add a thesaurus to the dictionary but its impossible.
