Has anybody noticed the annoying keyboard on 2.3 roms....
if u compare the keyboard to a 2.2 rom its less responsive
has anyone noticed this?
When u try to hit the SPACE button on a 2.3 rom keyboard if you hit it too low it wont respond, as opposed to in a 2.2 rom, if u hit it low (as long as u touch the screen) it responds
that is annoying >.<
NOTE: I dont mean the 2.3 keyboard VS the 2.2 keyboard (because i use the same keyboard on both roms)
Unresponsive keyboard is a well documented bug in the gingerbreadk leak. It wont be fixed until the official release.

I'm running the stock ROM from Alltel. Lately my TP has been sucking when it comes to typing on the keyboard. Random keys at random times will stick and the spacebar is the only way for it to stop typing. When I press the delete key once, it will just sit there until I hit the spacebar. Then it will delete the letter and type a space.
I have restarted the phone and the problem persists. I'm thinking the keyboard is going out on me. I don't think it is the OS because the display keyboard works fine.
Any thoughts?
I have the same issues with lag and sticky keys.
I am using stock HTC Touch Pro ROM.
Pressing the center D-Pad button stops the sticky key,
then I need to clean up the mess.

Anybody else with this issue?
I found a solution. Press the spacebar real hard. Apparently there is a connection lead under it. Worked for me. KB has not gone crazy on me for over a week.
I am quite frustrated with the keyboard on this phone and it makes texting difficult for me... I am coming from an iphone so maybe that may be the case since I may be used to their keyboard....but all I want is a keyboard like the current htc hd2 keyboard just without the arrows on it ....I find myself pressing the arrows alot on accident or pressing the wrong keys and I believe it is because the keypad is moved in a weird way to accommodate the space of the arrow keys...
I have tried the resco keypad and it is a bit small, but the main thing is that it does not work properly in landscape (it displays a portrait kepad in landscape) and the same is with the "FingerKeyB" (which has some decent theme options btw which I like)... and then there is the EzInput keypad which looked perfect for me but when I installed it, and then rebooted and tried to open sms, the portion of the screen where the sms would be is completely black and when I turn it to landscape the whole phone except the bottom bar turns black...
any help will be very appreciate, Please help me out.. this keyboard is getting the best of me...
have you tried swype? I believe its the best keyboard. i have attached the installation cab. you may also want to look at lesscro's theme for swype keyboard, Im using it its really nice, check out this link:

Thanks, I have tried swipe and did not really like it....
I wish the EzInput keypad would work because that seems like the most ideal for my request....
any other suggestions? ...maybe I will have to ask the creator of EzInput to fix it up for the HD2, or maybe I will have to take it on myself ?....
any ideas?
There are versions of ez input without arrows. I am not home before saturday night but if I forget give me a pm and I can send the link....

try here..
that is the thread I got eZinput from, but I am having problems with it on my HD2....it seems as though it is already without arrows, from the screen shots (and that is why I liked it, because looking at the screen shots I can imagine using it would be a lot more suiting to me than the standard keyboard)....
I have issues with the use of the OEM on-screen keyboard of the HTC HD2. It registers the keys next to the ones I press if my finger even begins to slide a little when pressing the desired key.
I would like something much more stable than what it's equipped with. Does anybody know of a better keyboard for the HTC HD2?

Excellent! Thank you. That worked out just fine. It is better than the OEM KB. It also looks better. Is there a touchscreen sensitivity setting somewhere for the HD2, do you know?
EDIT -
Unfortunately the Fingerkeyb has a bug in landscape mode. Pressing the spacebar often brings up the menu because it is so close to the bottom of the screen.
EDIT 2-
Eh...I spoke too soon. The landscape mode doesn't work properly. I thought it was limited to the same size as the portrait mode because that's what shows up when pulling up the keyboard while in landscape mode. But after tapping the small arrow beside the KB selector, and then choosing Fingerkeyb, the landscape mode comes up. Which isn't all that appealing because it separates the keyboard at the middle, putting the directional arrows in the middle, rather than providing larger keys like the OEM keyboard does.
Hopefully the creator of this keyboard will will see these issues and deal with them. I guess I'll just stick to the OEM board for now...much less complex to pull up.
Me thinks this is wrong forum...
And I suggest Swype. It should be on the forums here somewhere.
Well...All is well. I had the 2.0 version installed and found the 2.1 version from a post speaking about it. Googling fingerkeyb brings up a link to the thread in xda with the 2.0 version. After specifically Googling fingerkeyb 2.1, I was able to get it.
2.1 resolves the issues I had and is much nicer too.
I just can't get over how things go wrong when I speak of something working well.
The letter "b/B" is dead in the fingerkeyb. Tapping it does nothing. It doesn't register.
I suppose it's just in the default skin, red/black. I loaded another skin, gray/black, and it now works. Also, the "b/B" works in the default skin if the option to "Show bar" for landscape mode is selected. The "b/B" works fine either way in the default skin in portrait mode.
as already mentioned, google for Swype mate, trust me you'll never use another keybord again
One of the cooked ROMS has a cab for swype within it. Not sure on the legalities of it as it was only released for the Tmobile HD2, but if someone confirms its ok I'll tell you which ROM to save you digging about.
Actually if you are happy with the keyboard and its just the sensitivity issue then take a look at this post...

Moved as not software release.

Hello, newbiest newb question?...
I hav 2 cell phones, My first smartphone i purchased in July 2011 is a Sprint HTC EVO 4G stock, no root running gingerbread 2.3.5, its in good working condition. I just recently purchased (from a friend) a used but in excellent condition AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (SGH-I897) running stock, no root, gingerbread 2.3.5.
I am personally spoiled with the HTC Sense U.I. (especially with the Sense keyboard)
Now having the Samsung with Touch Wizard U.I., im having a serious (at least for me) issue with the layout of the Samsung/Touch Wiz keyboard, partcularly with the placement & the"GROWING" function of the "SEND" button!!!
The send button is just next to the right side of the txt compose box, i am constantly inadvertantly bumping the send button when i try to edit my txt messages, whats worse is the send button "GROWS" upward as my message increases in size making it even more of a problem for me as it GROWS in size to bump when i try to edit!!!
PLEASE!!! Is ther anyone who knows of a keyboard on or off the android market that has the "SEND" button at a different placement on the keyboard, OR is ther a way to disable or move the "SEND" button within the Touch Wiz U.I.
THANKS SO VERY MUCH! For taking the time to read my LONG but important question/comment!
Any feedback wud b GREATLY APPRECIATED!
