Keyboard bug / issue. Using back function. - Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers

Having an issues with the device where while I'm typing something, it hits the back button/function once or twice. It is not random as in hitting the same letter will make it do the same back bug. When doing a new, say text, that spot will no longer do a back bug, but a new spot will.
Not always but about 1/3rd the time. Super frustrating as typing something into google search cancels the entire thing and I have to reset chrome to not get the back bug in the same spot.
I have googled this and have not found a solution. Nor was there anything posted here about it.
I dont believe I am having the frozen screen issue, as this is different.
Thank you.

Capacitive buttons

My search keep going crazy....
I can just be doing anything or nothing at all and the search button seems to get pressed. I thought this was ROM related so I went back to stock.
This is still happening and called ATT and they are willing to ship me a new (refurb) warranty phone. Or is there a known fix for this?
Mine does it too, but not that frequently so I'm not too bothered. I haven't read anything at all possibly related to a fix though.
well just called them back. they are sending me a new phone and I hope it will go into DL and recovery modes with the keys.
just keeps messing with my games and or when typing an email or well it happens all the time.
New one on the way.
I had a Captivate for 3 days same issue.
I thought I was going crazy..
Started to type a message..... search pops up.
Continue...... search pops up.
I have a Rogers Captivate.
I've had that same problem, too. But now that I think about it, I haven't had it for a while now. I wonder if it does in fact have anything to do with the ROM...I don't remember it happening since I flashed Perception. I guess it could also be coincidence, but it used to happen pretty frequently.

[Q] [XT860] Key Repeats when typing

I was wondering if anybody else is having the same issue.
Sometimes when I"m typing quickly on my droid (and sometimes when I'm not typing so fast) the key seems to repeat. The concequences can range from annoying to downright haphazard (I have wiped entire draft messages because of this bug). Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? I've had this issue since day one and don't really want to have to restore my phone since there are a lot of customized settings on there and it would take a while to reconfigure everything.

are you talkin about when using the physical keyboard? if so, i have been having same problem. since day 1 like you said
EDIT: i have the 862
Did you install the update? This bug was fixed with the update on D3.
I had the same issue, since going to the OTA I haven't been experiencing many issues, my alt key and shift key tend to act a little odd sometimes now though, but far less annoying than continuous chars repeating...
I've also been running Steel Droid since I went to the OTA, sooooooo
Im not sure if it was fixed through the update or SD. Gonna assume OTA though.

The XT860 doesn't have an update yet
I figured I was in the same boat as many other people, but thanks for letting me know that eventually this bug will get fixed.
I contacted Motorola and they played dumb about it, but really I didn't want to have to wipe my device just to find the same problems happening over and over again.
Yes I was referring to the physical keyboard.
Thanks for all the responses!
same here
I'm having the same problem on my XT862. Before the OTA update, I had problems with the spacebar and period key sticking and doing things like this............................................................ until i hit another key to stop it.
I have the latest OTA now, and immediately after the update, the problem stopped for a few days, but now i'm having issues again. Mostly the spacebar and the "L" key tend to not recognize when i press them.
Same problem here, using XT860, but for me it doesn't seem to be specific to any key... meaning any key will just repeat itself for unknown reason.
Is anybody able to replicate the problem at will ?
Before my update, I did notice if I used a different area of say my space bar or backspace or period keys, I could prevent it from happening... and using the edges seemed to cause it to "stick" more consistantly... but that COULD have been all in my head... just a perception observation so unless confirmed by others, assume im just looney just figured id give as much information as I've gathered as I could!

i use the xt860 and haven't had that sort of problem.. i guess i got real lucky..
I have this issue too on my bell xt860. I thought it was a problem with the phone!
I thought the keyboard was sticking, but if you hold the button down, it doesnt repeat, it gives you different character settings. Has there been anyword on when this update will be coming down the pipe? Is it fixed with a custom rom?

[Q] Back and Options button...

I've searched the note forum praying for at least one other person to have this issue, there seem to be none. I am really worried.
Sometimes, after a phone call, the 'back' and 'menu' buttons become inactive, as in they don't respond. They light up when you touch the screen, but they don't respond at all. It started happening about a month after I bought the phone. Initially I thought it was a bug from some ROM. I've done several factory resets and flashed new ROMs. The problem doesn't seem to go away. I don't know what to do.
I have to reboot every time this happens, but then it only stays till I get/make a phone call. It doesn't always happen after the first phone call. Sometimes it happens after the second, third etc. But it always happens. Please help.
Thank you for helping me.
You are not alone... happens to me every now and then. Reboot is the only option...

same here since i got the phone with the stock rom, have tried a few custom rom, problem still remains
sorry wrong post ignore
It is very very annoying. I wanted to know if its a hardware issue or a software issue. Rebooting every time after a couple of phone calls is simply unacceptable. If only a very few people have this problem, its probably a hardware issue.
I really want to find a solution. I've grown really fond of the phone, and I don't want to sell it.

[Q] Does your swype mess up randomly?

A lot of the time when i am typing on my phone with Swype, i get errors and just completely wrong word suggestion.
Example: Typing a full word without lifting my thumb from the screen, but it picks up 2+ random words. -or- It will not let me use the backspace key; I press and hold, but when nothing happens and i lift my thumb off the screen, it just says "Please try again."
I don't really see it with the screen, like when i'm in the browser just scrolling or playing a game. I don't know if it's just swype or if it's the built-in keyboard, as well. I've already had the phone replaced with a 'like new' substitute due to this problem. Prior to replacement, the phone was factory reset, with minimal apps reinstalled. Now my replacement phone is also doing it.
I do use GOSMS as my texting app so i can backup messages.
Phone is stock on latest OTA update, never rooted.
Anyone else seeing things like this?

Keyboard on Home Screen

Searched the forum but didn't see anyone having the same problem I do.
Just got the Note a few days ago but I have an annoying problem. Whenever I exit and app or unlock the phone to the home screen, the keyboard will just pop up by itself. It'll go away when I hit the back button.
I've tried removing all widgets and apps from the home screen and it still shows up.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Thanks.
i dont know on that one.
I had a similar problem with android in general.
Normally i would have the keyboard out and type something then hit back or home and the keyboard would still be there until i hit back again.
Happens a few times here and there on a few different phones.
But it seems like your saying its happening all the time?
Try to clear out the cache and see if that helps it.
Also check the ram on the phone and see if there is any apps staying in the memory that could be the cause. (3rd parts apps)

I just rebooted for the first time since getting the phone. The problem has seemed to go away.... for now. Should have done that before creating a new thread lol.
