Howdy,
The most frustrating thing about my Fuze is the texting is a bit glitchy. If I open up a new message & put in a contact...then immediately start typing, it trys to make a phone call. However, if I pause for a bit it'll stay in the message app.
Any ideas?
Um, the text to phone was a problem on my tilt too, but it was only when I switched from portrait to landscape and started to type right away. Try flashing another rom. I did, and it fixed my problem.

Yeah, I seem to be getting a very similar problem.
If I open a newly received message whilst in portrait mode (normally through the 25-message-capacity TF3D screen), then slide the keyboard open to reply in landscape mode, the system momentarily rotates the message view to landscape and prepares to allow me to type, then the phone inexplicably switches to the phone dialler screen.
I'm running a Touch Pro in Australia on the 3 network. Unsure of my ROM but it's unchanged from what it shipped with.

I am getting the phone just goes black sometimes when I close the keyboard, the only way to recover is to turn off the phone,
Has others experienced this problem.
It's a wierd bug
It's really a weird bug, but all you have to do is open up the keyboard again and switch to the home screen. Once it loads, switch back.
My guess, some weird background home screen switch processing crap.
I just started having this "bug" yesterday. Basically, what happens (randomly) is that when I press the power button, remove the stylus, or slide the phone open to wake it up I'll be met with a black/blank screen. The backlighting will be on, and the phone is responsive (can receive messages, make calls, sounds/notifications work), but I won't be able to use the screen. If I use the power button to turn the screen back off and wait a few seconds, the screen might start working again. This is completely random and I cannot duplicate it with any guaranteed process, but it seems to be when the phone is waking up from standby. After a soft reset, probably half of the time I'll be met with this same delima, which leads me to believe it's hardware and not completely software.
At the same time the phone is also struggling to re-paint the screen from the change of Landscape-to-Portrait and visa versa. Also opening and closing windows to get back to the today screen also cause a problem. I've disabled TF3D to see if that makes a difference, it doesn't. I have a blank today screen with no plugins to free up the system resources, and am still having this issue.
I'm using JD's Rom (probably around 1.3, it's been running fine with no issues up to this point).
I'm also using S2U2 1.35 (if that makes any difference, haven't had any problems until recently)
The phone has never been dropped, it's in InvisibleShield, and normally sits on my desk charging all day.
This started happening last night for no apparent reason and it's really starting to irratate me.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Re the black screen:
Sounds like its software related. For example, I sometimes have this if I leave PocketTwit in the foreground and turn off phone. What software did you install yesterday? Also, do you try to press the home key and see if that clears the screen?
After more testing..
After some more fiddling around with the phone I'm about 90% certain it's a hardware issue. I noticed that when I slide the keyboard out if the slide portion is past the number line then the screen will stay on, but not update. I don't know how well I can explain it. If I'm typing and hold the screen to keep it from opening all the way then I can see the letters/words appear (in txt msg/email), but if I let the screen goes and it slides all the way open then the screen will stay on and only show what has already happened, any more typed characters will not appear, but if I move the screen back to the number row then the screen will re-draw and update what has happened.
Is this something that Sprint should fix no questions asked?

The last piece of software I installed was Gyrator 2 on Friday-ish. Thinking that it was the problem, I removed it using MemMaid. I'm going to give the phone a flash tonight and see if it is software related (hoping for the easy fix) but as the post above says, I'm almost certain it's a hardware issue. I just wish I knew how it happened. . . So much for that time putting those InvShld on.
Final Update (this can be closed)
I took it into a Sprint store and they replaced the "flip" on the top for free (I have insurance).
Point of the story/thread, this can be closed, it was a hardware issue, and now it's fixed.
This just happened maybe a couple of minutes ago. My phone while I was in my text message screen where I can see all my text messages. So I had to restart.
I turn my phone back on and every time I go to the SMS tab, my Touch Flo 3D reloads. Same thing with Email. I tried accessing it through my actions button at the bottom and nothing happens.
On top of that. I even tried disabling my Touch Flo 3D and run titanium, and titanium won't even come up.
I saw something online about deleting the inbox folder on my SD card, but I couldn't find it. So I took my card out and I still got nothing.
Anyone have a solution for this?! =(
on top of that, I can't look at any of the contact information in touch flo 3d mode.
Hi!
Did anyone here notice that the screen rotates from landscape to portrait mode every time the Phone Dialer appears? Like for instance, when you short press Send (Dial) Key or when you get an incoming call?
I have tried so many differend ROMs I don't even know which one I have installed now. The described behaviour was the same on all of them.
Is there any way to fix this? I have tried 'auto rotate' but it just looks silly: when i get incoming call, the screen first rotates to portrait, then 'auto rotate' rotates it back to landscape and I can't answer the call during all this rotating going on
You probably need to flash back to stock or do a MTTY Task 29 then flash a custom ROM, sounds like you have some residual affects from previous flashes.
Thanks, I guess this is the only thing left to do. I assume you didn't notice this behaviour with your Topaz? The phone app also has other bugs, like the button "Save to contacts" does nothing...
Does it stay in landscape mode? or does it only do if for a second or less and then switch back to portrait? I recall having a similar problem on one of mine... I just did a hard reset tho and that fixed it for me.
If auto rotate is turned on it rotates back to landscape (but ti takes more than a second), else it stays in portrait mode. It's good to know hard reset (better with format) really is the solution. I will try it when I find some time.
hi

With the last update to Android 5.0.2 I've the same problem.
On my phone the keyboard crash at least once a day, and I can't type anything, no message, website url or anything other. The only way for me is restart the phone to get back the keyboard working. It's really annoying. I'm looking the way to revert back to 4.4.2 stock but it's seams little difficult!
