[Q] Slideout Keyboard Problem - HTC LIBRA (SMT5800) - General Questions and Answers

Hi, i have an issue with my phone... I was texting then suddely the slideout keyboard started malfuctioning
The space, function, ****/caps and the period wont work. Also the two softkeys wont work... All the other keys work fine, and the weird thing is, when I press shift+backspace and function+enter it types "mx"
I hope its a software problem cuz right now I dont have money to get it checked out and its an old phone so theres no warranty to use
Thanks!
Edit:
PLEASE delete this thread, Its in the wrong section, I already posted the question on this phone's board.
Thanks!

No Offense to you just want to drive this home to anyone reading....
DISABLE XT9!!
I was having the same problem. I was using one of dutty's roms. I switched over to sleuth v3.0. and its gone.. I figure the anti-aliasing on the fonts had something to do with it. i could be wrong. But its gone now
i'm having this problem with dutty's 4-29 rom...i don't have TX9 enabled and i agree it IS annoying!
I just posted something over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391708&page=16 on what i believe you may be speaking about. I believe its a bug with the att 6.1 roms. Its seems many people havent really noticed it yet, and it gets really annoying when trying to text. I purposely didnt cook with this rom to see if the bug was fixed, but it seems apparent that its not!

frustrating
Dayum, i just don't get it!!! so far with every 6.1(including the latest at the time of this post [06152008] ATT 19214 build with 1.65.20.29 radio) rom ive tested, the same glitch surfaces. I don't wanna hear anything about disabling XT9 because it is not the issue. The best way to see this error is to do this test: 1)open the messaging app as if your going to text someone 2)place the cursor in the texting field, change the sip to "letter Recongnizer" 3) now with your stylus, sweep going across only in the lower case "abc" field, going about 2 or 3 sweep a sec(as if your spacing in a text msg). while doing this you will noticed occasionally a line that will strike down similar to lightning! I believe this same thing happens when texting on the soft kb but you just cant see it! This error is a PITA, because it causes alot of misspells when using any other 3rd party sip or the soft kb! Can some of you guru's out there please help with a solution? Thanks!
i have the same space bar issue but i thought that it was hardware not software. also it seems as if my delete key is supper sensitive if i touch a button near the delete key it deletes damn near the whole word. it's really annoying. I have NEVER dropped my phone or anything and i have the t9 disabled.

The issue you described is not really what im speaking about. Basically it can go unnoticed while texting someone, especially if you text quickly, you would think that your accidentally pressing the wrong letters when actually its a glitch thats registering the wrong presses. For example; if im texting with the soft kb or the htc keyboard app, occasionally when i press "a" it'll register the press as if im pressing the left soft key or another letter directly below it, and this happens randomly with different letters and different presses! I've only ran into this error with 6.1 roms only, so far i have never experienced this with any of the 6.0 roms. Also, I'm only speaking about the soft kb or any 3rd party sips, The hardware keyboard works fine!
I really thought it was me typing wrong, although that's quite odd as I was txting without a problem before....
and I have two problems from the keyboard using dutty's rom:
"space key is somewhat lagging"
and,
the 'backspace' key sometimes got stuck in acting as a 'delete' key which is quite annoying. I have checked and it doesn't matter the 'Fn' is enabled or disabled, it just work as 'delete' until I soft reset it.

Hardware keyboard slide annoyance! :mad:

Hi guys,
I went from loving my Touch Pro to almost throwing it at a wall!
This keyboard slide-out issue is driving me nuts, whenever I want to type something using the hardware keyboard, I slide it out and the damn landscape TF3D menu gets displayed ON TOP of whatever page I'm on.
I've tried the disable landscape registry trick (HKCU\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\landscape=false then soft reset) which works... but after a while (a few minutes or after some program or some random thing) it stops working and I have to either reset the phone or turn the reg key back to "true".
Is there any way at all to prevent the keyboard slide showing the landscape menu or at least prevent the menu from being on top of the current app?
For example I go to reply an SMS (I even tried waiting on the cursor to blink a few times, 2 - 3 secs) then slide out the keyboard to type and the stupid 8 icon menu goes on top of my message entry page, I have to choose 'messaging' app from the list of running apps to get back to that page, it really defeats the purpose of having a hardware keyboard!
Thanks guys for reading the rant.

What ROM are you currently using?
I had that issue too, I got rid of the theme I was using and stuck to the original HTC theme and I no longer have that problem!
I'm using Da_G's Clean ROM with his standard Manila install afterwards.
I've recently uninstalled the EzInput/T9 package from HTC and it seems to be behaving itself for now (it's been 2 hours with minimal use), like I said before it happens randomly. I don't know if it was because of the EzInput or something else because this seems to go away after every soft reset then comes back unexpectedly.
Thanks.

I had the issue using the RRE ROMs and ended up removing HTC Volume Control and it solved the problem completely.
Hrm I see to be having the issue again. How do I remove the HTC Volume Control?
I don't have any of this because I dumped the TF3D. Much happier and trouble/issue free without it. Euro device using stock rom.
OK I can confirm that it is the HTC Volume Controls that is causing this!
So from my previous post I tried to uninstall HTC EZinput which seemed to have fixed it but like I originally said the problem seems to happen out of nowhere after some time using the device.
So after reading the post above about HTC Volume Control, I pressed the vol down button, then this problem started happening again. I did a soft reset and no more problem after a while I pressed the vol button again and it happened again!

but he link that you gave us is for HTC Diamond... not for HTC Raphael...
will the application works on HTC Raphael??
Problem solved!
I had this problem for ages (as long as I have my Raphael, I think), and I couldn't track it down on the internet. Some time ago I found a post on XDA describing the problem but I can't find it again. Finding this post made me think.
I installed the aforementioned "volume control from JMZ" (I had extremely hard time finding it) and I didn't like it because it did something strange with my system font but it solved the problem. After few unsuccessful tries to fix the font (btw does anyone know how to fix this?) I decided to uninstall it. And the problem didn't return.
So what was the problem? Well… when I bought the phone I wanted (as many of you did) to change those ugly taskbar icons including volume icons contained within HTCVolumeControl.dll. And I did it by finding the dll file with the prettiest icons here on XDA (and maybe I changed some of them using the described procedure, I really can't remember now). However, that dll is the main culprit for the bug described in this post. Was it already broken when I found it, or I somehow broke it it's irrelevant now.
So the solution is: you don't have to install anything. Just delete HTCVolumeControl.dll from Windows folder, i.e. rename it using for example Resco File Explorer and then soft reset the device so that original file from ROM can be restored. Yes, the ugly icons will return but at least now you'll now where to look if this bug reappears. After that go and some find pretty volume icons, and again follow the procedure how to change them.
I have no idea how the file got corrupted in the first place (maybe there is some corrupted dll roaming the xda forum ) but after this episode I make changes only directly on the original dll (the one from ROM) and every time it was successful. I changed many icons until I found my favorites.
Cheers!

[s710 Vox] Keyboard malfunctioning

Hi there,
I'm new here, and to smartphones aswell. I have a s710 which is working properly, except for the fact that some of the keys on the slide-out keyboard dont work as they should. For example, the letter m just doesnt work, but the letter n-key is somehow reassigned to work as a left arrow key.
So when I press the N-button, it acts like the left arrow key. So this seemed to me, obviously, to be a software-related problem. Now I installed that NeO rom on it, and it works perfectly, but it didnt fix the problem. Im not sure if it worked with standart rom (or whatever u call it), since I got it with an unoriginal rom already installed on it.
So my question is if it is fixable, without making any hardware adjustments. Im a real newb when it comes to smartphones, so you guys could really help me out here!
Thanks in advance,
Jeroen.

HTC TP2 Touchscreenlock while calling?

Hi there, i'm new here and done extensive searching before asking my question here. So plz no flaming if question is asked in the wrong section
Here's the issue; i've got a HTC Touch Pro 2 and everytime i make a phonecall, my ear presses several buttons on the touchscreen, apps and games get started, processes get killed, etc... quite annoying. Now i found several apps that will lock the touchscreen when called (which nicely will solve the above issue..), but found none that will do the same when i make the call myself.
So what i'm searching for is an app that will
- lock the touchscreen when being called
- lock the touchscreen when making a call
which will unlock when
pulling out the stylus and/or by pressing the hardware-answerbutton or volumebuttons.
anyone out here that knows of an app that'll do just that or something similar?
Thnx in advance!
FDZ
I'd understood the screen was supposed to turn off automatically when you put it up to your ear?
Or, there's a piece of software that does that... Have a look over in the Rhodium software forum.
Yea, my touch pro 2 (UK) does lock the screen and unlocks with "end call" when moved away from ear.
Don't know why yours doesn't?
