Anyone else has this problem with ChaCha? When im typing a text, sometimes it automatically jumps to the top of the text. Any settings i can disable? Please help!
I get that I assuned it was some key combo I'm accidentally pressing, be interesting to see if it is or a bug (I use super osr rome and smart keyboard)

I just hit the back arrow (which makes the text I was writing get saved as a draft), and then just open up the thread again, and the message is right there. Definitely annoying, but the workaround takes 1 second, so it's bearable.
Thats what I did too. Any idea if its a hardware problem? My phone crashes frequently as well. Its getting annoying and I feel cheated by the dealer. Anyone has this problem as well?
its something to do with a combo of shift or fn and space - its easily pressed by mistake

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!
I have never had a problem changing android keyboards until trying to change the keyboard on the HTC Sensation for my girlfriend. She hates the Sense 3.0 keyboard and wants to have a keyboard similar to the default gingerbread keyboard. I try to activate the keyboard through the Language and Keyboard settings and that would appear to be fine. Any keyboard I download always shows up and I can select it. However, when I go to enter text into a text message field I can not figure out how to change the keyboard there. I do not see any button to press to change the settings there like there is in regular android. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
you need to tap & hold in an input field & select input method to change the keyboard
When I tap and hold I get nothing. I either get the letter to pop up that I press or if I press in an area to enter text I just get an option to paste. I never see anything to change input method. It is very frustrating.

Same. I think it might be because there is no other keyboard installed on the device.
after downloading the Swype installed did you run it, log in & then install Swype itself?
I have Swype and FlexT9, and I can change input method with no problems.

on this subject, ive been looking EVERYWHERE for the froyo sense 2.1 keyboard with the nav arrows on the bottom, but it isnt packaged as an APK...i pulled it from my HD2, but can't push it due to no root, and ADB isnt working :/
anyone have a copy of it, or can point me in the right direction?
(and yes, i searched, but all posts related DONT have the nav arrows)
also, a basic form of swype IS built into the stock keyboard for sensation, i use it once in a while. also, its right in the users manual too ;P

No. There is a big difference between HTC's trace input and real Swype. They are not the same just because they do similar things.

i like that you'd rather prove me wrong on a subtle technicality, rather than help me.
done with this thread.
Well it works for everyone else. Seems to me like it is user error. Master reset.

Reinstall swype
Htc Trace imo is not near as good as swype I have swype installed on mine and it works fine ---as does the htc trace I just hard press message field and select which one I prefer swype or android keyboard---I would uninstalled and reinstall swype I am using beta 3.0 and loving it --
I am still getting used to android but for me I noticed that you always have to install and configure keyboards before you can use them. Assuming you have downloaded a keyboard go to your aps and launch it. Both swype and SwiftKey had a rather complex but easy to follow setup guide. It should walk you through the setup. Then it should be as mentioned earlier, just do a long press on text field and you should see the option for text input. From there you should see all your installed and enabled options.

I had this exact same problem and it was frustrating the **** out of me. I solved it by rebooting the phone. All the way, don't just turn it off and on again, your fastboot settings will keep everything the same and you still won't see the option to change your input method. Pull the battery if you have to. Just make sure it's all the way off then all the way on again. Worked for me, and I am now happily using the real swype.
Hey guys, was looking through the forums but didnt see any results so...
I'm running Android Revolution Rom 3.1.1 and im experiencing problems when typing in sms. Whenever I'm typing a sentence up in my text's, it would sometimes interupt and I would hit the messages that are already shown, bringing up a different menu. At other times it would send. An example is if I were to type "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog", I would get to "The quick br" then a menu pops up (the same menu that pops up when you tap on a message someone had sent to you, which has Share-Call-Open Contact-Forward,etcetc). This gets very annoying and sometimes the text ends up sending itself (probably because I'm typing the sentence but the menu pops up and I accidently hit the key to send since the keyboard drops down when the menu pops up.
I dont know if it makes sense but essentially its almost as if I'm typing my sentence and I hit the back key, the keyboard dissapears. I've thought about the possibility of me typing too fast and just accidently hitting the back key, which minimizes the keyboard, but I doubt I touch the backkey and I even adjusted texting calibration as well as G-sensor calibration. Anyone having this problem? It's happening in almost every text I write, which is fustrating when I have to sloowwwwly type everything out and make sure I dont accidently send anything.
Anyone have any experience on this matter? Thanks a lot!

This happens to me at times to, its super annoying

Very annoying. Bump
When I press and hold 1 finger on the screen at the exact same spot and then tap with another finger, the phone thinks I am pressing with 2 fingers even though i already released the second one. When I move my finger just a millimeter on the screen, it realizes i am only pressing with one finger and the other 'false' input disappears. This leads to problems with games that have a joypad like input and another button, when pressing the button and releasing the joypad, the phone still thinks I am pressing on the joypad... Are you guys experiencing the same? It makes some games unplayable
Try to disable HTC Gestes ?
Yeah, forgot to mention, I disabled htc gestures, but problem remains. Is this touchscreen lower quality? it can only track up to five fingers
Sent from my <INSERT DEVICE> using <INSERT APPLICATION NAME>
It's weird, I haven't any problems with my touchscreen. I read the HTC One S's touchscreen can track up to 10 fingers...
My One S (US) can only track 2. Might be defective screen but that's the case with my One S
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
You can only use 2 finger multitouch if you have the htc gestures option enabled (settings->display & gestures->htc gestures). If you don't have it enabled you can use up to 5.
I got an email from htc that I could request them to enable more fingers on screen for a further update. He also said that I should boot the phone in safe mode and see if I still have my problem, but when booting in safe mode I don't have any apps to check if i still encounter my problem....
sorry if I ask this after a year but have you by any chance solved the problem? I'm experimenting the exact same issue and it makes it impossible to play some games
thanks,
Luca
I did some searching to see if this was possible on android and couldn't find any good info.
I am still not used to onscreen keyboards and on the One S in particular I keep hitting the home button when I type (it has happened twice since I started writing this)
Am I the only one with this problem? Does anyone know of a way to disable the home button when the keyboard is up?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
It seems like a good idea, but is probably very hard. The home button is kinda coded to work the same way always, regardless of what app is open
Yea I kinda pressed the home button too at first but just practice typing without trying to hit the home button and you should be all set, its not easy to type without pressing the home button but it takes some time to get used to...

It's damn near impossible! Been using touchscreen keyboard on different phones for years (how I miss my G1), and never had this problem...I feel like Homer trying to phone his children in that one episode of the Simpsons...."mash the keypad to continue"
Try SwiftKey keyboard, it detects where spaces go so you don't need to press space
