I got cdma touch pro few days ago from sprint, and using it to text/browse etc with keyboard out gets frustrating couse it flps back and forth, not sure from what, too sensitive g sensor?
But my question is, is it possible to have landscape only when keyboard out, either in all or in select programs?
Thanks in advance

If you do a little research you will find that the touch pro/fuse have keyboard issues- it is a hardware issue not software. Many are returning it back to their carriers and exchanging them. Others open them and plug in the wire that might have came out. There is a fix which many, including myself, tried and works. Take the battery out, and press keyboard space key or B in while holding the back...this pushes in any lose keyboard connection it might have. It seems when you put the battery in can loosen that wire. Search PPCgeeks- there are pictures there on how to open it up....scratch that...here is the link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=62876
That is a temporary fix, eventually it will go out. I had to buy a whole keyboard on ebay for 45 bucks. I got mine and works great from this ebay seller (gotmilk2099)- here is the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Touch-Pro-S...ZViewItemQQptZCell_Phones?hash=item3ef9d2130c

Yea i thought the same thing. but when i push txt and mail on the keyboard, a pttmod error message appears. and when i switch roms, even an earlier version of energy, its totally fixed. but i was warned abut the bugs in energy photon rom. so i was wondering if there's a fix. and yes, i did research. it is software. or else i would have had a new one by now. any thoughts?
Hey, so is anyone having some accuracy problems with their keyboards? Like, if the keys are on the same row and I type too fast, I'll get a random jumble of mess, regardless of what keyboard I have (though it does help when I use keyboards with larger keys).
I know previously we learned that the phone only detects two points of touch and had some weird issue when they crossed. Could this be the problem? Is it able to be remedied with a custom ROM?
I downloaded smartkeyboard, totally worth the $3. Not only can you disable multitouch if it'c causing problems, you can calibrate it to recognize your keypresses better.
Get the lite version and see if that helps.
Swype solved this for me
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App
I use SwiftKey, and I have trained myself to type slower and let their amazing predictions (not just the word you are typing, but the next one too) work for me.
Same thing happens to me, but I believe it's because the Triumph either can't recognized that many multi-touch presses, or it can recognize it but can't keep up, If that makes sense . Also, when I use a multi-touch testing application from the market, and I press simultaneously close to a perpendicular or parallel axis, the phone will not accurately respond :/
Just had the strangest realization. I stopped typing with my thumbs, and started using my index fingers. It has made all the difference. Seriously, try it and tell me it's not just me.

Already have it, and yeah, it's helped considerably, but the issue's still there.
i have swype and it works great...
Yes, I'm having the same problem. I posted about it in the general issues thread. I described it as randomly firing its own commands, but you describe it better. ;-) Only other thing is that mine also toggles the keyboard back and forth, puts it up, takes it off, puts it up, takes it off, etc, while it's doing this keyboard thing. With a 1Ghz processor, this shouldn't be happening. The keyboards that came with it are ridiculous. I installed a few different ones. I am using the gingerbread one, but that doesn't solve the touch problems that were designed into this ROM. It's more like just a skin over their code. Does that make sense? To answer your question, I'm not an expert, but I do believe a custom ROM will solve this issue, so I'm waiting on their release as well. Keep me posted if anyone finds a fix to this issue. Thanks.
I installed the free GO Keyboard, and it is working much better for me.
It's not a keyboard issue, it's a multi touch issue, hopefully motorola pushes some kind of update.
I might trade my sensation for mytouch slide 4g only because of physical keyboard.
My old mytoich 3g slide is great but flex cable that connects broke after a month or so. Replacement for it was $60.
Was that fixed in this phone?
The flex ribbon breaking was definitely an issue on the 3G Slide, but I got mine for around $30.
There really is no way to tell if this phone will do the same, as most issues occured after about a year of heavy use, unless somone wants to volunteer to open and close their slide thousands of times.
My laptop is having this issue as well, so it's not necessarily a phone issue (although I hope they beefed up the wires or something).
I suppose you could consider my sliding in/out of the phone keyboard excessive.
I do a lot with terminal emulator on the phone, and you can't get some of the special characters ( / for instance ) using the hardware keyboard. I won't use the on-screen keyboard to actually type, though, I just slide the hardware one in, get my special character, then slide the hardware one back out.
You can imagine how much sliding takes place typing in paths to files on the phone.
This is in addition to "normal use".
I haven't noticed any issues thus far, but as pointed out above, it would take a long time for it to wear out.
Jury is still out on this one, so too early to tell, but I thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'll post back here if I ever have any issues with it.
Yeah, it would suck because on my 3G Slide, my call speaker stopped working first, then the buttons wouldn't light up (but still function normally), then I had the dreaded half-screen drawing issues, and finally the thing no longer displayed the screen.
I followed the dissassembly guide here and fixed her right up (except I broke the connector for the volume switch)..!

Hmm... if it's been a year and you haven't replied back then I may have an answer to my question. As a former 3g slide owner myself, I was curious about the life of the flex cable. Thank you search function and guy I am quoting!
Wow, it's been a year to the DAY.
I sold my 3g slide after I fixed the cable, but I'd imagine it lasts just as long as the OEM cable, which for me was a year with very heavy use (I used the keyboard like a mad-man).
Hi all,
This is my first thread so hopefully it will be useful to others as well.
I'd like to try to diagnose a problem with my screen, where a couple commonly-used areas (the backspace on my old keyboard, for instance, the r key, etc) are unresponsive / dead space. The problem got bad enough that I routinely had to turn my phone upside-down to be able to delete characters or finish a sentence.
I ran the CM7.1 rom for for about a year and loved it. However, I recently flashed the existz ICS rom and love it (BR2). Since I've been using the ICS keyboard, the dead spaces have become much less of a problem, but I can imagine it's only a matter of time before things wear out again.
So, is this something I an fix? I know I can buy both replacement screens and replacement screen digitizers (what are these?) on amazon for $20 or so ($40 from other websites). Would buying / installing either or both of these help me out?

This has been covered had you searched a bit. Buy a screen and digitizer combination as you will likely destroy the screen trying to separate them. Go onto youtube and look up replacement videos for how to do this. And now your phone will be fixed. As far as if YOU can fix it or not, I cannot say as I do not know your level of skill.
Having Unresponsive keys on the keyboard and a bad touch screen is two different things. Unresponsive keys on the keyboard was a known gingerbread issue. If your not having issues on ICS I wouldn't worry about it.

Issue resolved by searching.
It is as if the keys are too far beneath the glass or something. I am 100% fed up with this Galaxy 53 typing the wrong letter. I had no problems with my previous Moto. ----- Is there a way to adjust the way the keys respond to the hits a finger makes. -----It is truly infuriating me. Again my Moto was fine so I do not take the blame. I am truly 100% fed up with this thing typing the wrong letters.

I had the same issue, changed the keyboard to microsoft swyftkey, it' s way better now

use gboard
There is a screen sensitivity setting in the system settings. Just use its search feature to find it
But...
It could be a keyboard issue though or maybe your fingers are weird.
Also, it could be possible for another part of your hand to be on the screen and mess it up.
It could also be possible for overlay apps to mess it up.
Also phantom touches is a possible screen physical problem (if the screen has a problem) and could mess it up. This can happen on any device from any manufacturer.
