Anyone else have a space bar that seems very soft? Mine seems to be very different than the rest of the keys. The other keys feel pretty good, but the space bar just seems.... off.
It's a small thing, but it just doesn't feel right. I am thinking of selling my dock because of it, but wanted to see if it's just mine or if everyone's is like that.

Mine actually feels a little more clicky (and less soft) than the rest of the keys. I'd say you have a problem.
I actually have a problem with mine. If i dont hit the bar right in the center, the the system doesn't register that the spacebar has been pressed. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue?
Yep, mine is pretty much the same. Have to hit it near the center.
That's slightly annoying. I would like to use this as my on the road development machine. I'm working on my own port of VIM right now but this spacebar problem is damn annoying. Hopefully ASUS can make the spacebar slightly more sensitive in a firmware update.
Yeah, I agree. I've got the disconnect issue and I'm waiting on the official update, but even using it a little was frustrating.
I can type pretty fast and I'd look back and see words strung together.
My keyboard/spacebar work just fine. Even if pressed on the edge, and the feel is the same as with all the other keys.
Thanks, guess I'll have to open a ticket with Asus.

Do you have the disconnect, freezing issues? I'm waiting for a fix for that.

There's already a fix for this, but it is in beta-testing. There are a few threads on here with the details. The fix is working great for me. I've been able to use my keyboard for the first time since I got it with no freezing and no wifi disconnects. The firmware update should be released in a few days to everyone.

My spacebar feels and responds just like the other keys, which is to say: it's excellent. I'm probably getting around 60 wpm on the keyboard dock, compared to 80 wpm on a full-size keyboard. I'm sure with practice that will improve.

the Keyboard of Windows Phone 7 is nice, and with slow-typing people, it would be kinda easy i guess. But with me, writing down notes by Office Word on my HD7 during class, is a nightmare. I usually type it incorrectly, and then need to fix it... I mean, the characters stick together kinda close, make it hard to type fast.
What about you guys?
Coming from my Android to WP7 my amount of mistakes has been greatly decreased, I really love this keyboard. Have you maybe tried rotating the device to enlarge the keys slightly bigger?
I think your question needs to be in two parts. The first part is, as you already asked, "how often do you type incorrectly", but the second part needs to be "and how often does the keyboard recognize what you meant and auto-correct for you".
Because, in answer to the first part I would say "very often", but to the second part I would say "almost always". So, in short, there are very few occasions for me where I need to make manual corrections to what I type (unless I am typing non-standard "words" such as email addresses or cryptic passwords).
This happens a lot to me. It seems that the keyboard just can't keep up sometimes. Two words will be smushed into one because it didn't count a few of the keystrokes that I made.

What phone was this? I have never had this happen to me on any Windows Phone I've ever used. But then again, I was coming from a HD2, where you could miss 25 characters in a row easily.
And to answer the question, for some reason, enabling the "tap" sound greatly increases my accuracy. I'm still not sure why that is! But even on the few times I make a mistake, WP7 frequently corrects me.

Samsung Focus. I type really fast, and I think sometimes my other thumb lands on a key before I lift the previous one off of the screen, causing neither to register.
I just typed out a long email, making sure to pay attention to this. Everything went really smoothly. I guess maybe sometimes I'm just being lazy and not lifting my thumbs in time.

I'm pretty sure a benefit to having a cap screen is that it can register the next key press before your other finger is off the letter.
I've got an Omnia 2, and typing on THAT is a nightmare. Anyone who is faster than a hunt and peck will be tearing their hair out.
The keyboard works amazingly for me. My only problem is I start going so fast that I get ahead of myself and start entering gibberish. But for 97% of my mistakes, it auto-corrects. I'm consistently blown away by how well it performs.
Yeah, actually holding down one thumb doesn't hinder the other from typing at all. I don't know why it happens sometimes, maybe I just do type too fast.
i have a samsung focus and the only typing errors i have occasionally is when hit the space key it registers as either "c,n or M" but that could be because i have big thumbs
I have a slide out keyboard for this very reason. I have never encountered a touch keyboard that satisfied my needs. I've tried HTC on WM6 and swype, I wouldn't say that WP7's keyboard is perfect but it certainly works well but only for short messages, if I ever need to write something in a proper sentence I always use my hardware keyboard simply because touch keyboard are unable to read my thoughts
The Deal is, you have to type fast like you actually write it down on the paper during class. ( i am a kind of lazy) . You type it like crazy, and you begin to screw up.
I don't have a really big thumb like other american, but i still find it kinda hard to put down like 5 pages of words on my HD7.
With a short messege, it is not a problem.

This is the problem that i am having... i should lower my speed of typing ,LOL.
Not totally sure how to describe this, but my Optimus 3D seems to be registering a single tap on the on-screen keyboard as multiple presses, usually 2-3. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it more of an android issue rather than with the phone? Or could it possibly be resolved through the installation of an alternative keyboard from the market?
The issue seems to occur both when charging and when running on battery power, and occurs in all applications I've tried it in so far. (Browser, Market, YouTube, Messaging)
I'm just concerned there could be an issue with the screen, so I'd like to try and get it sorted sooner rather than later, since once you go past a week or two getting a faulty phone handset sorted becomes a nightmare with retailers.

The screen of the phone is very very sensitive. What happens is that you touch the letter and then before you have the time to remove it the phone registers a continuing press. This happens because even if you dont tap with the same presure, the phone still picks up a presure and registers more taps. It isn't really something you should worry about.
Ahhh I see. Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity at all? It's a rather annoying bug and makes it next to impossible to type anything longer than just a few words using the on-screen keyboard.

I would recommend you to compare your phone with another O3D if you can. If some other O3D's work nice for you, then probably it is a harware defect.
I have never experienced such a problem on mine.
Hm, I don't know anybody else with one, however the store I bought it from did have a demonstration unit so I can pop in and try out theirs to see if it also has the same issue. If not at least I can demonstrate the problem to them.

Sounds like a plan to me
I had the same problem as the OP.
It was not from the beginning and started totally unexpected and there was a very noticeable difference before/after. Typing became almost impossible, had to do it veeery carefully.
However, a simple reboot solved my problem. Didn't happen to me again since...
Hi, totally new to Android after being with Apple a long time but loving my O3D except battery life but i'll live with that.
Does have a few niggles but it makes my iphone look sooo out dated!
Right, i have similar issue with letters duplicating but it only happens every now and then and is cured by restarting the phone.
Looks like a software glitch because typing on this phone is as good as when i use my iphone. I'm more than happy with the sensitivity.
I never thought of restarting the phone, but I've done it now and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I just need to get used to the bigger screen then my crappy old iphone.
I love the screen size in general, though I downloaded a pinball game that only works in portrait which is not really playable because the phone is too heavy to hold only with the bottom.
Its certainly a lot easier to type than I expected coming from the N900. I really REALLY wanted something like the Optimus 3D but with a real keyboard, but sadly I can't see it happening. This "thinner is better" fad really winds me up, I prefer function over form any day of the week.
Speaking of typing, I certainly have had the key repeat problem - I thought it was a build up of grease on the touch screen confusing it. It was quite annoying as my first impression was that typing on this thing is almost as good as a hardware keyboard, then the key repeat issue surfaced. Lets see if firmware 10d fixes it.
update to HTC_IME and u wont have such problem anymore. I had same issue with standart LG keyboard
I'm having the same problem with my keyboard.
It started recently and it's very annoying to try to write a txt with a such sensitive response from the keyboard.
Restating the phone seems to have sorted the problem but, it's weird...
i had this same problem after using the phone perfectly for 2 weeks it suddenly started this annoying habit,i took it back to the carphone warehouse and they exchanged it,so far the replacement is fine.
Hey, so is anyone having some accuracy problems with their keyboards? Like, if the keys are on the same row and I type too fast, I'll get a random jumble of mess, regardless of what keyboard I have (though it does help when I use keyboards with larger keys).
I know previously we learned that the phone only detects two points of touch and had some weird issue when they crossed. Could this be the problem? Is it able to be remedied with a custom ROM?
I downloaded smartkeyboard, totally worth the $3. Not only can you disable multitouch if it'c causing problems, you can calibrate it to recognize your keypresses better.
Get the lite version and see if that helps.
Swype solved this for me
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App
I use SwiftKey, and I have trained myself to type slower and let their amazing predictions (not just the word you are typing, but the next one too) work for me.
Same thing happens to me, but I believe it's because the Triumph either can't recognized that many multi-touch presses, or it can recognize it but can't keep up, If that makes sense . Also, when I use a multi-touch testing application from the market, and I press simultaneously close to a perpendicular or parallel axis, the phone will not accurately respond :/
Just had the strangest realization. I stopped typing with my thumbs, and started using my index fingers. It has made all the difference. Seriously, try it and tell me it's not just me.

Already have it, and yeah, it's helped considerably, but the issue's still there.
i have swype and it works great...
Yes, I'm having the same problem. I posted about it in the general issues thread. I described it as randomly firing its own commands, but you describe it better. ;-) Only other thing is that mine also toggles the keyboard back and forth, puts it up, takes it off, puts it up, takes it off, etc, while it's doing this keyboard thing. With a 1Ghz processor, this shouldn't be happening. The keyboards that came with it are ridiculous. I installed a few different ones. I am using the gingerbread one, but that doesn't solve the touch problems that were designed into this ROM. It's more like just a skin over their code. Does that make sense? To answer your question, I'm not an expert, but I do believe a custom ROM will solve this issue, so I'm waiting on their release as well. Keep me posted if anyone finds a fix to this issue. Thanks.
I installed the free GO Keyboard, and it is working much better for me.
It's not a keyboard issue, it's a multi touch issue, hopefully motorola pushes some kind of update.
Hi there guys,
I've been researching on this problem i've got with my Oneplus. It seems that the touchscreen is'nt responsive enough.
Often when i'm scrolling trough (for example) facebook, the phone has a hard time recognizing my swipes, and picks up regular touches instead. Which is causing me to open or like posts when i'm just trying to scroll trough. If i'm scrolling trough my homescreens while just slightly touching the screen, it acts up really hard.
The screen just isn't responsive enough imo.
I'm wondering if other people got the same issue, and if it is hardware or software related.

It is different than ghost-touches.
I noticed there is a topic on xda about this problem already: Click
I hope this can be fixed with a software update.

Funny. I have my oneplus one since a week ago more or less and i also noticed this issue in the very first days of use. Now i've opened facebook app to make some scrolling and see if the problem is still there and i have to say that i don't notice it anymore. Strange, but this is what i feel O_O

Hmm, maybe you just got used to press a bit harder onto the screen (which helps). Would be great if it's really disapearing after a while
Got mine for 3 days now.

I have the exact same issue with my OnePlus after 3 weeks of use. At first it was the swype issue where the phone wasn't picking up swypes properly on the middle left side of my screen. I use a pattern unlock so it's annoying when the dots don't connect.
The next thing was not picking up my touches properly so when ever I use SwiftKey and they recommend words, I could never properly select it because the touchscreen wasn't registering properly.
I did a factory reset and it solved the problem at first but it's now back after 2 days. It's not as bad as before but still persistent. There are tons of people on Redit, Cyanogen and the OnePlus forums that are reporting the same problem.
The good news is it seems like a software and not hardware issue, hopefully the permanent fix can come soon.
Possible solution to the supposed OnePlus One touch sensitivity problem
Settings→Developer Options→ Scroll About Half Way and UNcheck "block gesture touch events"
Also try and see if unchecking "Adaptive backlight" in Settings→Display & lights→ Adaptive backlight, helps.
Of course none of these are permanent solutions. And this problem is real. But maybe the "solutions" above help.
ive not had these issues just yet. but i do get annoyed by gesture control
This still needs to be addressed. It's almost as bad as an old capacitive touch screen!
I got my phone maybe a month after it was released. After exactly 4 months the touchscreen input died and lost all sensitivity. Typing became impossible. After going back and fourth with support for 2 months they finally sent me another one. The new one was excellent for EXACTLY FOUR MONTHS!! Almost to the DAY! My damn touch is broken again and I can't type. I'm furious! I'm also 1wk outside warranty.
With the first phone I tried every hack, crack, rom, reformat, anything I could find. Nothing would restore the touch. I assume it's a hardware issue. I've been looking around for a solution but haven't found anything. If there is anything, I would appreciate some direction.
Sorry for everyone that ever wasted their money on OnePlus, I won't be getting any more products from them...
