Backspace button not responsive when pressed near edge of screen - HTC Desire S

Backspace button not responsive when pressed near edge of screen.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Try pressing backspace on the right hand edge of the screen?

Not an issue for me, what keyboard are you using? Cos one of the first things I did was switch to swiftkey x. Best keyboard out there in my opinion. For t9 input I also recommend smart keyboard pro.

its the same with every keyboard ive tried, i have to press it on the far left side of the backspace key to get it to register. only noticed it in the last week or so. its the same on all roms. but when ive tried the touch test app from the market my screen is responding to touch equally on both sides of the screen...

That's beyond my knowledge then dude. What a weird bug/whatever it is.

[Q]Touchscreen sometimes stops working

I have a T-Mobile myTouch 4g Slide and The touchscreen sometimes doesn't work, I've noticed it happens more often when my battery is low and that it'll be working fine but when I use the phyical keyboard it won't work after that until I charge it up and restart it many times. There is a crack on the front so would replacing the digitalizer fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
I wouldn't think replacing the digitizer would help being it stops working intermittently otherwise it wouldn't work all the time. If it only does it when the battery is low then check your settings to see what is turned off if you have a battery saver mode. Easiest thing to do in my opinion is wipe the phone. That usually fixes this (I have even seen it fix physical buttons not working as well)

I have the same problem here. I usually have to turn the screen off to get it working again.

My entire screen never stops working, but sometimes when I'm touch typing, certain keys will refuse to register.
I don't know if that's a problem with my screen, or a problem with the keyboard app I use (Swiftkey X)

Keyboard?
Wanting to buy a MTG4 slide for my wife. Does the phone have an on screen virtual keyboard along with the actual slide keyboard?:

Yes, and there are many on the market if she prefers others then the HTC "Touch Input" and Swype that come pre-installed on the phone.

Swype keyboard small

Has anyone had problems with the Swype keyboard? Mine is smaller than normal.
Edit: I tired uploading a screenshot but I'm having issues with my phone
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
This appears to be an issues once you reboot the phone.
A temporary fix right now is to disable and then enable Swype again.
I'll post it on the swype forums and let them know

Yeah that was working for me, but doesn't work anymore after a second reboot. I am getting used to the smaller keyboard now. I like being able to see more of the screen.
I'm having the same problem with my Swype keyboard. After every reboot, it becomes extremely small and unusable. The only way I can get it back to normal is by reinstalling it. Anyone else have a better solution?

Disabling swype, switching back to one of the other keyboards and then switching back to Swype seems to work for me.
Rotating the screen has worked for me...

Btw, The Original HTC Keyboard has Swype Built into it.
Found that out the other day.
Thanks that works perfectly and is so simple

Yeah, except it seems to be missing some features like swyping punction to the space bar to insert question marks and exclamations and swyping up for capital letters. I've gotten so used to those that I go to do it and it doesn't work on the HTC keyboard.
Found this thread on the swype forums: http://forum.swype.com/showthread.p...-Error-This-screen-size-is-not-supported-quot
They need help reproducing the bug.
When you rotate it and go back it still is smaller then usual

Remap keys?

What file contains the softkey mappings, and can it be changed without root?
System_usr_keylayout_generic.kl
And
No.

Thanks.
And,
crap.
So...just checking; I'm looking to swap the "recent apps" and "back" buttons, which are off-display keys, of course. Don't suppose that's in some other file that I can change without root...somehow?
And if I really can't change them, how are after-market keyboards possible?
Keyboards are software.
You're looking to map hardware.
You need root to do that.
There are very easy Play Store apps that (once you're rooted) make it easy (I.e ButtonRemapper)

But of course I can't do that now, given that I can't even RUU back to 1.85.
Man, I know I have short thumbs and all, but does no one else have trouble using the phone right-hand only?
Dude please: I despise the power button. It doesn't click right. I came from a S3 but left it because I hated the home button. Now I found this phone that I completely love,but I hate that button. What we need is a dev to get Sweep2Wake running like on the Tegra model

Yeah the power button could be more clicky. It is hard to press. What i did was flash cm9/10 and use volume wake. WAY better.

Touchscreen a little wonky on Sense Viperxl3.2.8

Just wondering if any of you guys are getting the same prob as me where the screen doesn't seem as responsive. As in when scrolling thru apps. Sometimes after scrolling, it will register the last touch point as a click. Also. When typing in whatsapp I can't seem to be able to press the send button without closing the keyboard. The touchscreen seems to be registering the touch points somewhat lower or higher than where I'm pressing. Thanks for any replies!! Even right now I have problems pressing the submit button without closing the keyboard :/

Did it start hapenning right away? Are you using stock kernel? What hboot are you on?
Nope! Have been using viper for about 3 plus months now. Since 3.2.4 I've been using those ota updates and haven't really done much. I'm running elementalX 6.5. and I downgraded the touchscreen firmware so that if I wanted to play ard with aosp I could. Am on 2.14 hboot
Try upgrading touch firmware back? That would probably be the easiest thing to try first.

Tried that. Still the same :S Im sure I didnt change anything settings etc. It just suddenly happened during usage :/
Next thing to do is a clean flash. I'm sure that will work, I don't see any way to avoid it.

Keyboard problems

Had the phone for about a month now and all has been good up until yesterday, when a black section appeared on the keyboard! It seems to have squashed the letters more to the left making typing difficult. It selects a different letter to the one I press EG. I press N and it would have typed B.
I have uploaded a photo to show the problem. It's just the black block to the right of the picture.
Anyone now how to sort the problem?
Any help would be great, thanks.

Think you've turned on the cursor keys (they don't show in landscape orientation)

I feel like I'm being stupid now but how do I turn it off?
It doesn't appear when typing on this forum but it does on text and internet searches, so I'm just confused by it
