HTC CHACHA keyboard malfunction - HTC ChaCha

Hi I recently got a chacha from a friend and certain keys don't work as intended like
pressing d gives me five and the back button makes question marks.
The key still work so I'm wondering if there is a hardware calibration tool
For the keyboard, I have tried resetting the phone and they are still messed up.
Thanks!

I also have this problem, but only when I have the phone in my pants, and creates moisture in the keyboard, especially in summer.
I brought the phone to help with a problem with the green and red buttons. Them I have fixed the problem, I have recalibrated the phone, but the problem of crazy keyboard will occur.

Thanks for reply but..
Thanks for reply but the think is the problem is not disappearing and I cannot login into google and other services because of the keyboard.
The phone has probably been dropped many times so i think its a hardware problem hence recalibrating the keys to what they should be doing may help. I have tried button mapper and tools like that but it requires root access or limited funtionlity

Lost my red disconnect/hang up button

Hi,
I lost the function of my disconnect or hang up button, the red hardware one on the side of the device.
Does anybody knows the registry entry for this button.
I do have HKLM\Software\oem\Keys but i think there is not this one.
The key just does nothing anymore, the green one works fine.
Thanks for helping,
Thomas
may be its a hardware screwup... did u drop ur exec ??
its allright again...
To my shame, I did not push strong enough several times... It works but needs to be pushed strongly. After breakfast it was much easier ;-)
So thanks, but IT WORKS!!
If I would know how to close a thread I would do so...
Thought my button was spoint too, but didn't push hard enough too.
Glad you manage to solve the problem, with some "energy". haha.
me, too...

I think there is a registry tweak but i am unable to find it.
all it needs is a restart!
this happens to my device sometimes that one of both of the keys stop functioning... they get fine after having a restart...

Touch screen problem on Motorola Defy

Hello, I have recently discovered a very annoying problem with the touchscreen on my Motorola Defy:
I have noticed that the touch screen acts strange sometimes, so I have installed a touch test application(Touchtest by Hermit). In this application I have noticed that if I touch the screen in two different points in a fast succession, a line appears between these two dots. This makes a lot of application that require multitouch pretty much useless, because I have to restart the application to have the touch screen working again.
Is there any solution for this? I have heard that this may be a software issue, so I have e-mailed Motorola, but they have not answered yet.
I have attached two pictures to illustrate what I am saying, one taken before this strange error, and one after pressing on two spots very fast. You can see the line connecting the dots in the second picture. I can make a video if you still can't figure out what I am saying.
Thank you.
Im having a very similar problem here on my defy. When I play games on psx4droid and when I keep pressing x key, it stops working for a while then I have to release the button and when I press it again, it stops working and it continues
I encounter similar problems with my Defy.
When for instance using slide to unlock , 1 / 5 sildes fails. I have to slide 2 - 3 times until it unlock.
It also scrolls very slow in applications and the same thing happens when typing a message.
Solution : Unse lock button.
It currently runs Pays ROM, but the situation appeared since I installed 2.2.1.
I don't remember having this problems on 2.1.
Don't know if the situation is only related to software but it is really annoying.
Found this info regarding touchscreen slowness, but I am using the original charger so it doesn't apply for me.
Motorola Defy Touchscreen Problem
I recently got my Motorola Defy,my Defy's touchscreen acts sometimes really weird, on keyboard it's hard to enter 'r' or 'b' and some other characters, it takes little while to unlock the phone, it automatically opens applications, I don't know if it's due to faulty handset or software, I am considering it returning to Phone4U and get a replacement handset.
What version of Android are you using ?
Same problems here, but I think it is a software issue.
I'm having the same problem on my Defy.
After a while, the multi touch stops. I posted on the Motorola Forums
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44733
but no response.
I used YAMTT and when having two touches, after 20 seconds, one of them disappears
This is repeatable
2.51.1 UK with 2.1 Android
Well, it is clear that this is a problem that affects many Motorola Defy users. But I wonder if someone could fix this thing?
Looks like the new software version 2.51.1 did not fix this bug. I haven't tried it yet, but I see some of you have.
So it looks like our only solution could be a developer from XDA. Could someone help please?
This is ridiculous...i've sent my phone to motorola only because it was giving this problem and basically what i think is that their own software is causing this problem so i'll be waiting for 3 weeks and when i get my defy...it'll still have that problem...Ridiculous...
I did a bit more experimenting.
I flashed the 2.2 Finnish blur, multitouch still disappears after 20 seconds using the touch testing programs
I also booted into Safe Mode (vol up + vol down during boot)
The same problem persists; I was using gallery image zoom to test.
However, I got my friend who has a Motorola Droid to install YAMTT. The multitouch lasted about 30-40 seconds. Not sure what to make of that. He's running some version of Cyanogen Mod on Android 2.3

Defy doesn't support cynogen mod and 2.3
I was messing around today and even the single touch disappears after a while
30 seconds or so
Mine sometime stop response after few seconds
really wierd
Tell me who is on stock rom and is having problem..because im on 2.2 leaked..so i cant really say if u hv this problem on 2.1...
I got this response from a Motorola employee. Anyone know of a way around this?
Motorola Employee said:
If you touch the screen and don't move for a long time, the screen will eventually try to ignore that touch as it'll be considered invaild. That's what you're seeing. If you continue to move your finger(s), touch will continue to work. Also, when you release the screen, it acts to clear the invalid touch region that you generated earlier.

I have the same problem. screen sometimes go crazy. i am using stockrom eclair SEA 2.59. sometimes it seems that it tap icons or part of the screen even without I actually tap on something. and it seems it affect the capacitive button under the screen. I am not touching the search button but the search box suddenly appear.
I have to push the power button and unlock the screen to make it normal.
somebody please help us. I am also having this weird problem. Touchscreen gets pressed itself not everytime but it happens very frequently. Tried everything, hard reseted too.
At least I gotta hope that its not a hardware problem as many of u are also facing this problem. Any body please confirm if flashing cm7 has helped u or any other solution.

i returned my defy months ago but what you can do is, try to flash cyanogenmod on your defy...that should fix the problem.
Hi, I've registered myself just a minute ago, reading the link that efpod left here and I've remembered that I charged my Defy with a Galaxy S i9000 charger friday (I've charged it once the batery was drained later with my original charger) and today it is failing A LOT, it's really anoying.
I got Cyanogen Mod (latest) installed on my phone so that doesn't fix the problem.
I'm uncharging it with "StabilityTest - CPU / GPU Test" and when the battery drains out I'm gonna charge it with the original one, after that, I'll test it during the day and I'll leave a messege to keep you informed.

[Q] keyboard inputs not detected by phone!?!

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
chris
Quite often you actually have to tap input box first before typing. Give it a go.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
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.

[Q]Keys not working..help needed asap :(

Hello,I bought a HTC Desire S around 4 months ago.
From past 2 days i have lot of problems with it.
1.Home screen button not working
2.Q,A keys are not working while typing(they work when i rotate the screen)
3.Wen i rotate the screen and start typing the whole keys on the least bottom dont work.
4.Sometimes if i press back key it goes to selection option...sometimes whole phone hangs.
5.Im not able to download from market...after i click download it shows downlading icon but it never starts download.
I made factory reset for couple of times but no use.
Any one have some suggestions?
numbers 1 to 4 seem like some sort of problem with your touchscreen... Have you tried wiping it with some clean cloth after breathing on it? My back button has some issues registering touches once in a while, but wiping it helps always
Regarding 5, I don't know really, but have you tried using the webmarket?

ya i tried wiping it but not working
Does the area where your Q and A keys are when in portrait work when the keyboard is not on? Can you use it to click items, scroll webpages etc?
One other thing you could try is the calibrate option for the keyboard. (somewhere in settings-> languages I think, it's been a while since I ran an Sense ROM).
If both yield no result, it sounds like a hardware issue to me, and you might be best of to invoke your warranty.
