Then i have to soft reset in order to get the keyboard back. Other times keyboard reppppppppppppppppppppet llllllllllllllllletters likkkkkkkkkkkkke ttttttttttttttthis.
I have searched the forum trying to find the solution without luck, please if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very great fully.
I apologize for my bad English, and please don't get angry at me by saying use search, cus i had.
Thanks in advance.

hope somebody could help us up, this is becoming really annoying for me at the point of selling my fuze if there is no possible solution. hope there is cus i really like this device.

I had the same problem with my keyboard, I only had the phone for about 5 or 6 days and it was doing it since day one with stock everything (before I even bothered playing with it by flashing roms or skipping at&t software installation).
For me it got so bad that when I was using it at school, the keyboard stopped working about 4 times in 10 minutes, and I would have to restart it to get it back working. Sometimes that even wouldn't work.
I ended up flashing back the original rom and SPL and exchanging it for another fuze.
The new fuze I have is working perfectly. The keyboard backlight looks a little uneven, but apart from the rare keyboard lag sometimes, the keyboard works 100% normal.

Thanks for your Reply, im glad to read you solved you issues with the Keyboard.
Anyway i hope there is something out there like a hotfix or reghack for this issue, i bought my Fuze at Ebay so i cannot ask for another one.
Im just wondering if this is real a Hardware Issue or soft/driver?? Since it can work again after Reset.
I Hope somebody come with a solution, i don't see any thread complaining about these issue, i thought it was a common one.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HOOK ME UP WITH AN ANSWER IF YOU KNOW IT.

i get that some times too, no choice but to reset in those circumstances
i did note that stuff like that tend to happen when i'm using opera in landscape mode

First, please don't yell -- impatience will not get you an answer more quickly. Also, I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but searching really does work. For example, searching for "keyboard lag" would have led you to this, which should help with your problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436795

Thanks you very much. I didn't meant to yell by the Caps, sorry for that. I also did search for those words with no satisfactory answer.
I will try these fixes and let everybody in this thread to know.
Thanks again!

Yes! It only happened when I was using opera in landscape mode.
I'm going to need to clarify my original statement, I'm not sure if the keyboard stopped working with the stock ROM and software. When I reflashed it and was trying to show the at&t guy that it was locking up in opera, it never happened, I used it for probably 15 minutes. The customer rep was a nice guy though and just let me exchange it for another one.
So I'm not exactly sure what the cause is, but my new fuze doesn't have the problem (thankfully).

i mean if we can not really get an answer maybe someone can just figure out how to restart the keyboard drivers or something instead of having to soft reset the entire phone we can just reset the keyboard that could be a plausible alternative.

look at this: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=887 and also go to settingd - buttons - up/down control and increase the delay rate then reduce the repeat rate

i have tried that before and it did not seem to help.

I tried something i read in other thread related to this. It seems the problems it's the WiFi, you have to set the WiFi to middle power, neither Best Performance or Best Battery. Apparently my keyboard is working fine so far since i did this. Hope im right.
PD: what does the keyboard has to do with the Wifi, I don't know.

New to the forms

Just wanted to say hey before I start posting in here, I have a Samsung Captivate and the speaker just stopped working
I've searched using the search but its not very extensive anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Welcome to the forums!!!
Sexy Vibrant featuring Sombionix 1.9.1, JAC's OC/UV, FFC installed

Speaker not working? Hopefully it's not a hardware failure...
If you just got it, bring it back to AT&T and hopefully (if you're within your 30 days still) they will give you a new one.

My voice microphone stopped working, as in people could not hear me speak. But only in handset mode. Speakerphone and headphones worked fine. I tried making sure I didn't have mute selected. Then I tried uninstalling apps, but ultimately the only fix was a reformat. Keep in mind, you will lose everything including all contacts and apps that you haven't backed up. I think it kept my photos and videos. You can reformat by going into Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset.

This happened to my first phone. I returned it to the AT&T store two weeks after release with a dead speaker. They gave me a brand new one on the spot.

Screen flickering with horizontal lines

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dxerck6wu4l475m/20161207_203959.mp4?dl=0
Hello everyone,
Just asking for some help here; I couldn't find any cases like mine online. (Although, tbh, I'm not sure how to describe it, let alone search for it)
But it is a reproducible issue that occurs. It isn't always there but for certain images/screens, it is always present. The video is one example.
I am on stock everything; I haven't really touched the phone much since I just recently acquired it.
What would be causing this issue and is there a way to fix it??
Thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. I've posted this question on the Q&A thread and I don't mean to spam or anything. Just making sure I reach out to everyone.

I have the exact same issue.. While playing games it happens a lot.
Also whenever green color is onscreen it happens.
I have searched a lot on Google and basically the query is not understandable for google and it shows me irrelevant results.

Mine also happen the same thing. Suspected software issues because only certain picture reproduce this issue. But a friend I found in facebook said he replace the screen to fix this. Starting to happen on 6.0.1 approx. 1 month before getting nougat custom rom. Never tried to reflash stock rom yet.

Bluetooth controllers

I got ipega 9055 game controller and noticed moving keys don't right. Keys get stuck or not register. Controller works in other phones.
This problem seems to be in other lenovo phones also.
I found some other people have similar issues:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/lp05_en/thread-id/923/page/2
In lenovo forums fix seems to be changing region to RU what seems weird. I have not tried this yet.
I was thinking does anyone else have game controller and issues like this?

Yes I do! And it drives me nuts trying to play Mario Kart. ?
Been trying everything to fix it...

I'm going to flash custom rom because of this. I tried everything i can think of with no result..
This issue has been pretty long and Lenovo is probably not going to do anything about it.
It would be nice to know if problem persists in custom rom. I strongky think its software related but i will see after 14 days...

Been tempted to stay clear of rooting this one for the likes of sky go and android pay so let me know how you get on with the flash. See if it helps. I was checking the Bluetooth specs on my P2 compared to other devices and it doesn't seem to be that. So I'm stumped. It appears the joystick is the only thing not responding properly. One press and it appears to be stuck in that position. I know for a fact it's not the joystick. Works a treat on my old S5.

I also wanted to stay stock for awhile longer..
Im also positive there is nothing wrong with my gamepad, tested mine with S6.
I let you know how it goes.

I can tell you now that nothing's wrong with your gamepad. In the MegaN64 app there's an option in input, controller, controller diagnostics to check the button and directional pushes. As you can see from the first screenshot the left joystick pushed down (AXIS-Y) is stuck on +0.67. Somewhere between half and a whole push. I had released the joystick while I took this screenshot. It's just stuck there. In the second screenshot I pushed the right trigger button (AXIS_GAS) Which cancelled the stuck joystick position but then that trigger button got stuck on +0.40. Nearly half a push. I had also let go of the trigger button while I took this screenshot. Personally I think it's down to Lenovo using cheap Bluetooth hardware. That's my guess. I'd love to be proved wrong though.

Thanks for testing.
I really hope its not hardware problem.
I'm sad that this is pretty common problem with Lenovo phones and there is no support from their part.

How did you get on with the flash?
Any custom ROMS have any better result?

I have not yet flashed because of waiting period. Still 8 days remaining.
But in dev section i got answer that custom rom will fix issue.
Please check here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3592706
page 4 #38

Then again I suppose there's no Knox counter on P2 haha. I'm assuming you can unroot if necessary?
Are you going to install that custom ROM in the link? Or another?

No knox counter but OEM lock what you can unlock from dev settings(waiting time 14 days). After that you loose warranty.
I was thinking to try AOSP extended(same as link) but i have not decided.
I suppose you can unroot and go back to stock but warranty is gone.
edit: Now im on Resurrection mod. No problem with bt controller what so ever.

I was going to update anyone else on stock ROM. Just received a Gamesir WIRED controller and it's STILL experiencing the same issues. So after all that it's not been a Bluetooth issue at all. Just software. Great news that the Custom ROM worked for you. Think I might have to go down the same route. Which ROM was it you went for?

Ah that would explain why my Drone was acting crazy yesterday when I was flying it with my USB Gamepad, I thought the gamepad was shot ! It never crossed my mind that the P2 might be at fault...oh well a few more days to wait before I can unlock it.

I wonder if they'll just ever release Nougat for it? Haha. They're slacking big time.

btw if there is still people using stock system and want issue fixed, Lenovo has asked me for log info. I couldn't wait and flashed custom rom. Here is thread link if anyone is interested:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/P2-P2a42-Smartphones/bluetooth-controller-problem/td-p/3652943

Nice one, Kiryo. I'm​ still on stock for Android pay as it's come in so handy. ? Already had developer options enabled as I thought there might be an extra Bluetooth setting to adjust to try and fix the issue but there wasn't. So I've enabled bugging reports now. I'll send them a report over as soon as I get the controller connected later on. ?

Kiryo... Just curious. How are you getting on with the Custom ROM? Does it still have the same features the stock ROM has? Such as VR mode and dual app mode? Cheers...

Well there is all that i need. I have no need for VR mode but i guess it works in apps normally.
I also dont use dual app mode but i guess there is mutitasking option there.
Custom roms offer much more configurations than stock.
Im overall happy. There is still some issues with volume echoing with speaker and volume sliders during call etc.. but nothing too serious.
I'm just happy with functional bt controller.

Yeah I bet. Thanks for the info. ?
I'll look into making a nand backup as well I think. (If that still exists)

Volume goes away after phone calls

Anyone know waht is causing the volume level to go WAY down after I place, or receive a phone call. I love the phone very much but this is driving me crazy! I'm on T-Mobile which is working fine. I have to use the Digits app at home to make calls. But no mater if I use Digits or not, if I make or receive a call the loudness of anything on the phone basically goes away. System sounds, YouTube, Iheart radio.... Anything that uses the speakers looses all volume. I have to reboot to get it back. Pretty annoying

I am facing the same problem. It just started to happen this week.

Clearly it's boring! if your device is rooted with magisk try viper4android it's magic, believe me !

Im having a similar problem and started to notice it few days ago, mainly because I am 85% of the time using the phone on vibration only.
I don't know exactly what OP means with "goes away", if this means that the volume is low (ringing or playing music) but the controls are still to the top, then yes I'm facing it too, but, what is really strange is that for me, just the top speaker have sound, while the bottom speaker is really low.
I managed to figure out that if I cover the top speaker with my finger without "pressure" or trying to squash it, the bottom speaker start "working" again. Im lost with this situation.

Sounds like a messed up mixer math or possibly audio mod that is messing it up

Could be a botched firmware. Be my guess. Iv flashed many roms and official firmware and never had this issue. Have you tried flash tool or the new flasher?

Ahhh then one of the updates got messed. Sony must of messed something up. Flashed an older, firmware, different region firmware or hope for a patch from aony

No one else with this problem?

this just happened to me but after listening to spotify any way to fix this?
