After rooting my phone I keep having a problem with my SMS. When I press the O it backs out of the write view, back into read view, and won't allow any other words to be typed. Sometimes a soft boot helps, sometimes it doesn't. Any suggestions? Thank YOU.
Do a factory rwset.. or wipe cash and fix permissions

My touch screen just started acting up. When scrolling thru lists it stutters and when I select something I end up selecting something I didn't select (make sense?) When typing I'll hit a key on the left side of the screen and a key on the right side will be selected. I did a factory/data reset, wiped cache and cleared dalvik cache to no avail. It appears that the calibration is now off. I'm rooted and running Infused153. I hope my phone ain't broke Your help is greatly appreciated.
I just did a battery pull and everything appears to be working as it should. Probably shoulda tried that before I posted.

Hi - got a new HTC Sensation yesterday
I've got some really weird behaviour going on.
From time to time the phone won't react to the soft keyboard.. For example
I try and type in a query into google, and whilst the soft keyboard responds to key presses (vibration feedback, predicts words etc. in the dictionary) nothing appears in the search bar! All keys don't work, in all keyboard modes (querty, phonepad etc.). This seems to happen intermittantly but I can't figure out the reason why.
It happens in all programs that will accept text from the keyboard (mail, internet, market, SMS etc.). Phone always works.
I tried a different keyboard (touchpal) and I get the same intermittant behaviour. I tried various settings within the touch input settings and it still happens from time to time.
Any ideas / common fault? I tried search but no joy. Seems weird but it must be a software thing?
Hope someone can help!
i've seen this behavior before. happened when i was using swiftkey X all i did was reboot the phone and it fixed the issue. did you try that ?
When you say reboot is that something more involved than turning it off / turning it on again? I've done that.
I've tried installing (and uninstalling) a few different 3rd party keyboards but I keep getting the same behaviour.
It's very intermittent (sometimes it goes away after a few minutes, or by locking and unlcoking the phone a few times) and very annoying!
Thanks

Quite often you actually have to tap input box first before typing. Give it a go.

Tried everything in terms of getting the input field to accept the text - its definitely 'faulty' behaviour.
If a factory reset doesn't work, then I guess the phone is faulty?
Doesn't look like hw problem to.me, more like sw if touches are still registered but nothing appears in the input screen. Try different ROM.
Oh, its new and probably not s-offed. Just return for a new unit.
Edit. I assumed you have already done factory reset. Ok, do a factory reset, I'm sure it'll fix the problem. If not, get replacement.

Currently on Liquid rom with Bubba kernel:
My middle button is mapped as short press home, long press menu. However, I noticed that sometimes after not using my phone for a while, it changes to short press menu. The home function just disappears, regardless of long press or short press. A reboot gets it back to normal, but I'm just curious as to why this happens.
Thanks ahead of time for any feedback!
just wipe cache reflash rom and clear settings data it should fix the problem!
Been a while now and I'm currently on Rootbox (after full wiping etc). The problem still comes back from time to time. It seems that no matter how short/long you press back, home, or recent apps button, it will always be interpreted as a long press. This happens with volume rocker as well sometimes: even if I just tap it quickly, the sound will change by a lot of steps. Anyone else have this problem?
It popped up a couple of times, im on Liquid Smooth. Normally a restart solves the problem. You cleared the cache as well?

Yeah rebooting helped. Was wondering if there's someway to prevent it permanently though...

I'm having trouble typing on my LG phone. Whenever I hit a key, it registers the key press, but the letters don't appear on screen. I have to keep closing and restarting my apps to get it to type. I did a complete factory reset and it still does it. It runs Gingerbread 2.3.6 This is a replacement phone because my last one broke and it's been doing this ever since I got it no matter which keyboard I use and it does it in any app that requires typing. I also tried clearing the data and cache. Can anyone help me with this?

Have you tried TouchPal X with QWERTZ or other style of keyboard??
It happens with any keyboard that I have, stock or third party.
Must be a hardware portion problem

For some reason when I try to type fast many times it won't register certain letters and it's horrible and annoying. Idk why it's doing this. I used to be able to type so fast. I'm using SwiftKey. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and It still blows. I feel like throwing this phone out the window.

Hey dude, calm down! This might be a very simple cause behind this issue. Have you tried the following?
1. Clearing the Cache of Swift Key app? (Settings>applications>swiftkey>clear cache)
2. Does the issue persist even with the stock keyboard?
3. Clear the system cache partition of the phone. (Power off phone, then press Power+Vol Up+home buttons simultaneously, then in the recovery mode, select clear cache partition by using volume keys to navigate and power button to select it. Then, Reboot.)
4. Try resetting the app preferences. (Settings>Apps> Menu button at right top> reset app preferences)
If all these fails, take a backup and factory reset the phone.
Cheers :good:
Try the Google keyboard?
