My keyboard was working fine all this while until about 2 weeks ago it starts to act up. When I press the spacebar, sometimes it will create double spaces (instead of the usual one), and sometimes, it wouldn't work at all (meaning no space is created).
Does anyone else have this problem?
And just wondering, I have flashed my TP to ROMeOS, so if I were to claim warranty, does that mean I'll have to re-flash my TP back to the original firmware?
Bump - I really need some help.
Bump again! Mine is doing this at the moment. Stock ROM. UK Vodafone.
As far as going back to get it fixed by someone, yes, you would have to go back to stock SPL and stock ROM. It sounds like a pretty strange problem. The only thing I could think of is that you have some particles stuck underneath the space key since it's acting s erratically.
same problem here. I don't think that it is particles under the keyboard as that would not explain the double spacing issue.
I only noticed it on the R2A rom, don't remember it being there on the R1 so prob a rom issue.
I have this problem too
Figured I'd give this a good Ole Bump, because it seems that, although not widespread, it's still an issue. I'm running the Latest 6.5 ROMeOS on my Fuze and am having the SAME problems mentioned in the first post. I remember reading in Da_G's thread that there was something corrected in his ROM by using a custom xT9 dictionary? Anyone have any input? I'm (almost) positive this is not hardware related. It seems to be tied to the OS. Thanks in advance.
me too having the problem as well, i've it for more than 1.5 months i think, and no one having this in the earlier day which no one can help me out with it, but this few days i think i manage to solve this problem already, which i think it actually is a hardware issue, i used to use my right thumb to press spacebar and the problem occur, but since few days ago i try changing it to use my left thumb to press spacebar, who knows, the problem did not come to me since then... maybe you can try this, if not, i think you might gonna sent it back for warranty... hopes this helps...
I'm almost positive it has something to do with xT9. I just used a cab from my tilt days to disable xT9, and its happening FAR less than it was. But its still happening lol. Even with the regular stock non-finger-friendly keyboard set as the SIP. Back to the drawing board.
Well, I'm not sure if everyone else has read and figured out the problem, but it is now known what causes the spacing issue.
Apparently the newest builds have changes to the compime.dll file. These changes are what is causing the spacing problems, and (so far) can only be resolved by using the compime.dll from build 21731 or earlier. So how do we fix this
I know that Da_G has a package in his kitchen to change the dll back to an earlier one, but for the people that are using already cooked roms, what do we do?

If that's the problem, then this post might help you.
EDIT: But someone noted this problem with their stock ROM, which suggests a hardware issue, not a ROM problem.
I thought I'd post this since clearly I'm not the only one who suffers from this problem. After 6 months of living with this problem, I've decided to flash back to stock SPL and stock ROM and sent it to SiS for repair. They replaced the keyboard, and in just 2 days, I got my phone back (talk about a speedy repair!).
I don't know about you guys, but I'm almost positive mine is a hardware problem. I'm now using a WM6.5 TF3D2 ROM by shep211 and the keyboard seems to be working perfectly.
-accidentally double posted-
i got the same problem.
spacebar sometime can press sometime cant.
i think is hardware problem
anyone can guild me how to open n repair it?
my touch pro is not under sis. too bad.
Mine's been doing the same thing recently. I'm *hoping* this is an os issue, but I'm using stock original bloat free rom.
My has also been acting up tho (goofiness with Opera, rare and seemingly random shut offs and freezing) so I was hoping that a flash to a cooked rom would fix it.
I'm planning on doing it this weekend, if I get around to it I'll post here on my results.
I had the same problem. Went to the AT&T store and got a new phone
I too have been having this problem. I have been using NRG's roms for the past month (no blame on them) and the problem started to occur. Whenever I texted i would hardly ever get any spaces and it would double space when i did get it to work. I found that if i went slower and pressed harder it would work fine, however this is not a good solution. So i figured it was a hardware problem so i put everything back to default for ATT warranty purposes.
This is where it gets weird, the dumb thing starts to work again. I thought it was pure hardware failure because i had to press harder, but now that problem was gone.
So now I am running stock ATT rom but it is starting to double space ALOT. However this only occurs in the text message box. If i open word and type it is flawless. So is there a glitch in the text messaging program?
same problem here... happens when texting in my browser, in forums, in sms msging, all over...
I have a Samsung Omnia with a WM 6.5 build, and I noticed a similar problem, regardless of which onscreen keyboard I use. Basically whenever I type a dot (.) or press the spacebar, the previous letter would get selected (underlined) for a second, before the caret returns to the intended position. Typing the spacebar in a browser would indeed produce 2 spaces.
I assume it's related to the input/dictionary suggest feature, yet dis-/enabling this feature in the settings doesn't fix the problem. My guess is that the dictionary somehow thinks that a single spacebar press is a correct word, which is automatically expanded to the full word (1 space), followed by another space to put the following word.
This issue surfaced at some point (the rom initially worked fine after a hardreset).
same issue on my phone
Hello there,
I'm using PPC's since more than three years, but I never experienced such a problem like this! I'll try to reconstruct what happened:
I was coming home with my Diamond Pro in my pockets and playing music over A2DP like I do everyday. I laid switched off my headphones and BT on my Raphael. Then I connected the charging cable because battery was already low. I realized that the Raphael did'nt respond properly and made a SR (via the hole). While booting I did something else waiting for the screen for entering the PIN, but then I had to see that there was a notification like this (on a german Raphael, I just translated it to english):
audiobooster_remain.mscr
The file "audiobooster_remain" couldn't be opened. It is either not signed with a trustable security certificate or one of its components couldn't be found. If the problem keeps existing try to reinstall or restore the file.

I have to add that I have this script (Tip #20 from here) in my autorun folder. There was behind of it the same notification for AEButtons Plus and my other autorun-apps.
But what made me wonder was the following:
The whole screen looked like the green HTC-standard design and then there appeared this screen with introductions and display calibration as we know it from hardresetting.
After that I was stunned and of course I knew that the Extended ROM setup would shortly follow. So i quickly made a SR although the o2 installation hadn't shown up until that. But after rebooting it did show up and let it do his job.
Since that everything looks like the standard o2 design and the named notifications show up after every SR. But what makes all this really weird is not the fact that all this happened automaticly and suddenly, but the fact that the device hasn't really hardresettet (although it seemed so because of the calibration and introduction screen and the standard designs)!
All of my programs are still installed and my modifications on the TF3D (e.g. I had deactivated all tabs but the music tab because I use Mobile Shell) still remained. But strangely enough my programs aren't anymore registered. Well, this alone would'nt be so bad, but the programs don't work like they should: e.g. I can't run the Mobile Shell, GScroll isn't configured anymore (as in initial state) and all the other programs (e.g. Pocket Plus) too. For most of the programs I have to confirm first before I can run the exe (e.g. Resco Explorer, which also is in initial state).
But it seems that the internal storage has been flashed, becaue the My Documents folder is also in initial state, my files aren't there anymore (but that doesn't really matter because I had the most of them on my storage card). To sum up, the Raphael really acts weird.
Something I almost forgot: There several times appeared another notification in between which I've never seen before:
It was white text on a black background (it filled the whole screen) and there stood something (in english) about that my device couldn't boot properly and probably should be hardresetted by pushing SEND and I did, but nothing happend. BTW: It wasn't the screen you know from hardresetting!
I don't know what type of screen that was and what all this is supposed to mean, but it's definitely weird! Does anybody know why this happened or does anybody know similar cases?
Of course I'm aware of the fact that flashing the device would probably be not a bad option, it would be an opportunity to update. I don't have a backup because till today everything went fine since I bought this Diamond Pro as a new device almost a half year ago. I don't remeber the ROM Version but I think it probably would be the o2-Version from a half year ago.
I really would be grateful for any good advice... Best regards
Hello Everyone.
First off thanks to everyone for making the android system do what it is supposed to. I have rooted my G1 and updated the firmware to 5.0.2Hr3_zh_signed build Plat-RC33 126986. I have noticed two things so far...Its seems to run very very slow for pretty much everything. I think it may be due to the fact that I am only running on a 1gb memory card. If thats the case please let me know what I need. I am not concerned with saving apps to the SD Card as I dont use many. I was more concerned with the Exchange as well os on screen keyboard. My only problem is the Keyboard doesnt even popup. While in messaging I tap where it tells me to but nothing happens. Any suggestions or am I missing something here?
It's called laggg. Apparently the phone can't handle it at times, so the keyboard doesn't pop-up. THe only way I solved this problem is by maxing out my CPU. Then it seems that the H build works flawlessly.
"It's called laggg. Apparently the phone can't handle it at times, so the keyboard doesn't pop-up. THe only way I solved this problem is by maxing out my CPU. Then it seems that the H build works flawlessly."
How exactly do I do that?
I have the same problem with no keyboard, but I am using apps to sd card. I was kind of surprised when i installed the h build that it basically wiped my phone even though i only hit alt-s, and never did alt-w. That didn't happen when i installed the g build. Any idea if that has anything to do with no soft keyboard popping up? I even installed the modified keyboard apk from the other thread.
Another question i have is if you have the phones speed maxed like you said you did if that drains the battery extra fast. It would seem like it would.
Edit: oh yeah, when i long press on a text field a pop up for changing input option comes up but there aren't any options to choose. Nothing. Any ideas?
Edit 2: No sooner do I post this then i go into the phone menu, choose Locale and Text, change the TouchInput Keyboard Type from qwerty to Compact Qwerty. CQ works so i change back to Qwerty and voila! soft keyboard. I don't know if it is key.apk but it is a soft keyboard, and that's progress.
So now with the dual boot options posted and available for such a wide range of devices, i've decided to try android out and check on its progress.
I have had issues with my keyboard ever since WM6.5 had been leaked.. so its been for a while now. i would have to press very hard on my backspace key, and my spacebar would be hit or miss. I would hit it, and sometimes get multiple spaces, other times nothing at all.
I even flashed the default ATT stock rom to see if it was a rom problem.. there have been many threads about this saying that this was a hardware problem, and i hate to open a new one, but i think this deserves a new thread.
I installed android this morning, and ALL my keys work as they are supposed to. So i would like to get confirmations from other people with this issue on Windows Mobile, by having them try android and see.
I return to windows mobile and the problem still exists. I go back to android and the problem is gone! so i can confirm this is NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE
I will upload videos later.
Contact AT&T warranty about this, and try to convince them to give you a Tilt 2, tell them you don't want to have the same phone and keep having problems and then having to replace it again and want to stay a happy customer.
im guessing its a conflict between the two, but thats just my guess, not totally sure why, try taking out ur memory card and soft reset or if ure phone is fresh from flashing, try a hard reset and dont put the card in yet, do a quick test on office mobile and see if the problem still exist
Nothing makes the spacebar problem go away on WinMo. It works in some ROM's (very few) but most of the ROM's the spacebar problem is back. I can confirm it is not a hardware issue. I just need to hunt for the ROM's on which the space bar used to work. I will try Andriod and report back if the spacebar issue is gone. Downloading now
I can now confirm. The spacebar has issueon EnergyROM but has no issues while using android. TurboX2 good job on noticing this.
Next question how do we go about fixing this?
tael and energy gave me issues, my current one is captains and have no spacebar issue here
so does this mean that the keyboard issue is something that could potentially be solved with some modification to the keyboard driver?
i have a feeling that this will never be solved :/
the whole scenario just doesn't make sense.. like i said... you would think reverting back to stock should have made the keyboard work again.. but nope not for me at least
If I had to guess, I would think that the results you are seeing is a result of either a more sensitive driver or a driver with a more effective signal parser that can distinguish the button press despite the hardware being worn. I'm not sure how that could be used to our advantage but at least its something to go on.
I bought the tf700 about a month and a half ago after waiting close to 9 months for it. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems, but I am not sure if the tablet is defective or I'm doing (maybe not doing) something to cause these issues. I have noticed people on other threads are experiencing some of the same issues, but not all of them. The problems include:
*browser constantly crashing/closing
*having to touch the screen multiple times for it to respond
*some websites or appls reloading/flashing multiple times while trying to scroll or type something
*while trying to type, the cursor moving around, jumping to the front of words or deleting words
*taking quite a while for webpages to load
*screen freezes
I really hope that these are problems tat can be fixed because I anticipated this tablet for so long. I find myself frequenly just giving up and switching to my desktop for faster results because it is extremely annoying trying to google something and the page closing or have to retype words in mulitple times because they get erased while typing. I have given up on trying to use the facebook app because the page gets all jumbled up or freezes constantly.
Please give me any advice or suggestion to how to fix these problems or do I just own a defective device?

perform a hard reset and see if that helps. it won't erase anything so no worries.
power down tablet
hold power and vol down until you get to a boot screen
let go and just let it boot the rest of the way
and if you're using the dock, turn off the touchpad when you type. i find that i always hit it which is why my cursor jumped around. not sure if it's the same thing you're seeing.
Thank you! I am going to try that right now!!!! I dont have the keyboard dock =( so maybe I am hitting the screen or something but I have tried to type letter by letter before and sometimes it happens then too. AHH
Hard reset in prgoress..
the issue with the browser closing seems to be an android issue right now and not exclusive to the tf700. I've seen threads complaining about the same browser closing issues on other devices and have seen it myself on my phone as well as the infinity. It doesn't seem to be isolated to one browser either.
