I'm having an issue where random keys stop working on the keyboard. The keys are never the same and it happens completely at random. This has happened to 2 different Inspires after rooting and flashing CoreDroid. Initially I thought it was something wrong with the keyboard so I changed keyboards and the problem persisted. I then switched to ARHD after doing a super wipe on one of the Inspires and the problem arose again.
An example of the issue. When I want to hit the 'h' on the keyboard it won't respond. I'll be able to hit every key around it but not the h. It's never consistent in which key it is and it doesn't seem to have a patter of appearance.
Is anyone else experiencing the issue or is it just me? Any ideas on what could possibly fix it? I'm likely going to flash an ICS ROM to see if the problem pops up in an ICS ROM as well.
I've never seen anyone complain of this before. Since you say it's different keys every time, then it's definitely not a digitizer issue. It has to be software, but since you say you've had the same problem on 2 different phones, with different ROMs and different keyboard software, I'm stumped.
I've seen this issue around the threads before and I've had this issue several tines before (mainly only with ics roms). Mine always corrects itself once I tilt the phone to landscape and then rotate it back up. No as far as why its doing it? I dunno
"I love my Springfield XD40"
ya force it to rotate screen, or power screen off and back on will correct it. its a bug that has always floated around with non-sense roms. minor really
I've only noticed this after I installed an ICS rom on the phone. I get a similar issue while typing that a single key will be unresponsive. It seems to take about 2 seconds for it to work again.
The time doesn't appear to be affected if you keep tapping the screen, or just wait.
Well, if nothing else it's at least good to have confirmation than I'm not nuts
is the problem occuring only with this particular ROM?
Yes, I have seen this on a number of GB ROMs.

Ever since I received my Polaris back from repairs by Euro Twice in Belgium, I occasionally have a problem with the volume slider appearing out of nowhere and going up and down like crazy. This also happens when I'm not even touching the phone.
Sometimes the problem doesn't appear for days and sometimes it happens many times per day. It seems like some kind of internal short-circuit involving my volume-buttons and memo-button. I have to do one or more soft resets to make it go away.
Also, sometimes my phone won't switch on from stand-by by using the top button. Lastly, sometimes the 4 hardware keys under the LCD-screen don't work.
As I said, it seems like the device thinks that buttons are being pushed while they are not.
Does this seem familiar to any of you guys? Any idea what could be causing this? I have already sent it in for repairs by Euro Twice again but I received it back because they couldn't reproduce the problem (I guess they didn't test long enough).
I have ROM version 1.28.405.3 WWE (03/05/08), Radio 1.58.25.14, Protocol 25.69.30.05H. I'm not using any custom ROM.
A hard reset didn't help.
Bump...
Can anyone please make a guess what could be the problem? I have done a hard reset again and the problem is still there but much less frequent.
...sounds like a hardware issue...
Thanks, I know it's definately a hardware problem. IMHO, anything other should have been solved by a hard reset.
Guys, a week ago my ohone started to act strange.
Randomly it does't detect the letter I'm trying to press on the screen. if i switch it to landscape it works perfectly, and when I go back to portrait the problem is still there.
It gets fixed by it's own or if I restart the phone, but it's starting to be annoying.
I'm on the stock Rom btw.
Same problem
I've been having the same problems but I think it has only happened to me when I use custom ROMs such as Cyanogenmod or Coredroid. When I went back to stock I don't remember it happening.
I was running Coredroid V8.1 a few weeks ago and didn't like it because the font looked terrible but I think the keyboard didn't give that problem, it was with an older version of CD. Right now I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0 and it happens a lot and gets annoying. I now for a fact that is not hardware since the keyboard will work normally on landscape and other stuff will respond to the touchscreen.
Still trying to see if there is some sort of fix or to use a new keyboard. Installed GO keyboard and same thing happened, now using Swiftkey X and it happened also but now I took the protective case to see if that has something to do with it LOL.
My soft buttons on my Nexus S 3G are playing up recently.
Have been playing with the ICS ports and the nexus mv ROMs recently,
The buttons will work for a short period, then cut out (lights off too)
Hibernating and then unhibernating the phone sometimes works and brings the buttons back to life, however it's becoming more and more frequent and i'm getting quite frustrated with the issue.
This is happening on multiple ROMs - ICS, MV and even back to stock, the same issue is occuring.
Any ideas on how to fix guys?
Thanks in advance.
I have had issues on my 9023 with the soft buttons when accidently flashed 9020 firmware into it, so you can check this, maybe that's the same problem with you.
Confirming that i only flash the ROMs compatible for my 9020...
This has been a gradual thing on my phone, cant seem to pinpoint the cause.
And no, have not dropped my phone so its not a physical fault
Maybe download Nstools from the market and see if you've got BLD enabled
Sent from my SNES
I am not a noob when it comes to the Xoom. I haven't had a lot of time with it. I purchased it about 90 days ago from woot.com. It was a refurb. I had no problem rooting it and putting Tiamat 2.2 on it. After about a month of using Tiamat my xoom started freezing up. The only button that would work was the lock and unlock button. I thought maybe it was the ROM so I installed the stock ROM back on. I was able to do all of the over the air updates to ICS 4.0.3 just fine. Now the freezing continues. I have sent the tablet back to Motorola 2 times now and problem still persists. If I am playing a game, watching a you tube video, or clicking settings. The screen still has all the animations but, the touch is unresponsive for a good minute or two. I can press the lock screen and it locks. I can press to unlock it and the touch is unresponsive. until I lock/unlock three or four times. To make short question long, I am just curious if people have had the same problem. Pretty much Motorola can't or won't fix it. I was hoping somebody out there had or is having a similar problem. I have done all the reboots in the book and the problem is still there. I haven't been able to find any answers. If you need more info let me know. Are they treating me like this because I bought a refurb? Do they really not care that I have a $400.00 paper weight? Thanks for your time.
Quick Question, you stated you were using Tiamat 2.2. Do you mean the Kernal, or android version
The more detail about these we get the more we can help.
If you rooted and installed a ICS build, that may be the issue in of itself.
With both my Dinc and Xoom I have had issues with ICS doing this, mainly on things that require graphics/rendering. Normally plain text webpages are fine, but if they get graphic heavy or use a uncommon language, then it seems to make ICS act up.
As far as I know there is no actual fix as of yet.
Had the phone since August, and never really had any of the touchscreen issues that people typically post about. Over the months I flashed many roms, always successfully, however at some point I noticed that my capacitive buttons stopped responding at all. I always had the nav bar enabled so it was fine, however recently I've wanted to get them working again. I followed the guide to restore to 100% stock CM12S, thinking that may fix it, however it did not. I haven't found anyone else that has this issue...is it likely hardware related and an RMA is my only hope of fixing this?
