When I am typing in the messaging application, I find that many of my key presses are ignored, seeming as though I am not able to spell or use proper punctiation, even though I have actually tapped the correct keys.
My messages might look like the following:
"Thaks fo your message. I was nt able to take the call at th time buI will be avaiable after 6pm. Thanks again!"
This is really annoying. It ONLY happens in the messaging application. I can type an entire document in Word without a single problem but I correct numerous mistakes in emails and text messages in order to avoid looking like a moron to recipients of my messages.
Is there anything I can do to correct this problem? I am using the Black Edition ROM right now and thought that this version fixed the problem. I also Experienced it with the LVSW versions and the other before that. I did not experience it in WM5 at all...

I have the exact error with all the WM6 roms, very very frustrating
I too sometimes get this problem, normally at the start of a text if I start typing quickly. it doesn't happen all the time tho only occasionally. using the lvsw rom at the moment but also had it with the SA WM5 rom
I've got this problem too, but in WM5.
same here on WMXL 0.2
I have noticed this on other WM5 devices but never on the Hermes until now. Is there something that changed in the messaging application that can be changed back to the way it was in WM5...hopefully via a registry edit?

I had this problem but it went away after I selected the option to have word completion only select words after typing six letters. If you have it set to do it after pressing the space bar it seems to cause a delay in typing the text after a key press.
I agree with nmonger, I have alleviated the problem by setting the autocomplete to only suggest after 3 letters (it was set to "a space" before). Also I have made it only suggest 2 words (it was set to 4).
I had this from day 1, it`s just not designed to work that fast...
i hope it`s a driver problem and not keyboard hardware problem.

So far this seems to have solved my problem. Thanks!
I knew it had something to do with the word completion. I set it to suggest 1 word but it keeps suggesting four. I just changed it to after 3 letters and solved my problem. Thank you for pointing that out. Now i don't look drunk when messaging at 11am!
Thank the man above someone else is having this issue as well....trying the word completion trick and seeing what happens.
worked for me - great solutions thanks
BINGO! an obvious solution in hindsight... thanks
cheers for that guys, it was one of those things that had bugged me for a while but not enough for me to look for a fix untill someone else mentioned it.

Worked for me
I was just thinking about how often I had this issue today. I was SURE I was pressing all the keys. I tried turning word completion off and that didn't seem to change anything (strange). I'll give changing it to 6 a try, that makes sense.
I have noticed this problem on the Dash, Blackjack, Universal, and a few other Windows Mobile devices...all WM 5 and newer. This is the first time I have seen a solution. I don't think this worked on any of those devices and that is why I posted. I thought there was going to be a more complicated fix on this phone too!
What really stuns me is the lack of complaining about the skipping issue on other devices, such as those that I mentioned, as I am sure I am not the only one who sees this happening on multiple devices.
I thought it was all down to me being lazy, a bad speller and having thumbs too big for the small keyboard.
Trying the solution and all seems well so far.
thanks a lot, it's working
Does anyone have a problem with a slow lagging keyboard while typing text messages. I noticed it after I installed the Black 2.5 rom. I have installed the keyboard mapping fix but that did not help the lagging issue.
I been typing like crazy today on my 8525/2.5 with MSN Live Messenger. Seems very fast to me..
I had the same delay...Can't remember if disabling the word completion took care of it or installing the memory performance cab from JJ that took care of it. I'm banking on the memory performance cab though.
I have noticed this issue a little bit, but if I remember correctly Ive had the problem even before isntalling any of the roms, and it only happened for the first set of characters that I types (usually the first word).
Has anyone else noticed this with the standard wm5 roms?
I've experienced the same issue.
I wonder if it was one of the patch cabs that I installed cause I have not seen a lag at all [yet]. Perhaps it is just waiting to pop up on me.

Are you talking about the pop up keyboard?
I think what the OP was taliking about is that when you first start typing with the pull out keyboard there is a slight lag, like with me, I'll start typing - it hesitates - and then it like catches up. Not only that but the screen even goes dim for a moment .
I don't remember if I had this issue before or not.
Nope, I was talking about the pull out keyboard. Seems to work very well so far. I just retested it in Work and in MSN IM.

Oh well.
I'm not going to concern myself too much with it, because I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be running 3.0
Similiar typing issue here on 8525
I've noticed the same typing issue using both Black 1.2 and Black 2.5 were it often lags or simply skips a letter (usually "h" after "t" leaving "te" instead of "the" or "s" after "i" leaving "I" instead of "is")
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8525 keyboard fix cab, but it does not help.
Two things I have noticed:
1.) The typing problem does not seem to appear until several days after I flash the ROM.
2.) It really only seems to affect the Messaging app. (When I type into PIE forms or Notes, the problem does not seem to exist)
Definitely did not have this problem in WM5, so I am hoping that the problem will be gone in Black 3.0
this is a real problem. I have experienced it with all wm6 roms I have installed. I have a strong feeling its related to the suggested word list that comes up....but this is a rediculous problem for us to have to deal with and should be fixed. I also agree that its limited to the messaging app.
Ezra
yes the problem i was originally talking about is with the messaging app only. i have no problems in word, or IE. I have the memory performance cab installed but noticed it before that as well. does anyone see a difference with the suggestive words disabled?
Put 3.0 on Hold

I'll PM JJ and ask him to hold off on the release of 3.0 until he's sure we won't have this issue.
Just Kidding. .
I actually started a thread about this a while ago but titled it in reference to skipping keys because I type so fast with the thumb keyboard that the device cannot keep up and omits some of my key-presses. However, someone suggested something that I had tried with WM5 (but it didn't work then) but hadn't thought to do with WM6.
Go to Settings>Input>Word Completion(tab) and change the "Suggest after entering" setting to something such as 3 or more letters. I have mine set to 4 letters and have zero problems with skipping or slow typing unless in a third party program such a TomTom.
a little out of topic...
but after changing to black 2.5 my time zone seems to be weird....i had tried to set it to GMT+8 Singapore time....but after a while it will change to another country thats GMT+8 but when i change it back to GMT+8 Singapore time.....it will be one hour early.....
I have the slow keyboard problem too.. Its making me mad.. And the black2.5 rom seems to slow down a heck of allot after a week or so use.. Any ideas why would this be aswell?? I only have 4apps installed.. One on today screen and rest only when i use it..
a slow keyboard is one thing, but skipping letters is another. (This issue pertains to not only Black, but also Custel, LVSW, and Dutty)
The thing is, when i text message, i start typing immediately after the window pops up. But for some reason, it lags, and then when it catches up i notice that my first 3 words are so are all butchered cuz letters were dropped. I didn't experience this issue with my MDA Vario / 8125. The worst that would happen is the text would lag, but would eventually catch up to my typing. And it WOULD NOT drop any letters. With the new wm6 roms for hermes, im noticing lag and letter dropping. I've tried the suggestion of even turning off autocomplete, and setting 1 word, 2 words, 3 words, and 4 words. Still having the same issue. I opened a thread about it long ago, but it just got closed because they "supposedly" deemed it a fixe issue. Well its not!
To clarify: I'm not trying to bash any of the rom chefs' work, as i am very thankful for what they do. But it would be very nice to have this issue addressed and fixed.
Has anyone tried changing the Up/Down Control repeats....
Settings/Buttons/Up Down Control?
I put mine up to max, and seems to have fixed my problem....
@ **Milo**
Hi and thanks for the sugestion , i tried it and my slow typing issue has gone. As an experiment i switched the rate back to where it was (about one third of the way up the slider) and its still gone. It seems switching the slider up to max cleared whatever setting was causing the slow down.
Im going to leave the phone on standby for a while then try it again to see if this has any effect on it.

Hi all,
I tried searching the forum for my problem, but no one else seems to have encountered it. If I'm wrong, please let me know .
The problem is quite simple to explain: the HTC TouchFlo interface recently stopped starting at boot time on my almost brand-new Touch Pro2. TouchFlo 3D is enabled in the 'Today' configuration of WM, but I only see the black screen with the HTC logo on it, accompanied by the "Calendar" and "Contacts" buttons on the bottom of my screen.
The problem occured after installing and uninstalling several applications (S2U was one of these, also G Light and FlexMail). Recently it did start the TouchFlo interface 1/2 of the times, but now it doesn't work at all. TouchFlo does show up when manually starting the 'manila' executable from the Windows-directory, but then the interface doesn't refresh (clock shows incorrect time).
Has anyone encountered this problem too and/or does know a solution for this? It's really annoying, since TF3D is so much better than WM6.1...
Thanks!
try to read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522363
I have the same problem, but I could solve it by disabling the sim pin1. Try this until htc will patch this (will they?)
VogtlÃĪnder
You're my hero! Indeed, disabling the PIN-code works, apparently the window asking for the PIN is messing with TF3D at boot time...
touchFlo cannot start on my Touch Cruise II
Hi everybody
after customizing my Touch Cruise with manilla customizer, i have the same problem, touch Flo cannot start.
warm reboot , nok
reinstall manilla, nok
add pin code, remove pin code , nok
i desactivate in tab settings the "MyFavesWidget" and the touchFlo start now....
everything is ok now (for me)....

Guys, call HTC, it's free! If no one, or only ONE does (I did), HTC will not fix... Calling is free...
I think this may well be correct - it may also be worth trying to wait for a while before entering your PIN 1.
My TP2 seems quite sensitive to how fast I enter the PIN in while it is still going through the startup process.
I removed some programs I last installed, and the problem was over.
I'm very curious whether HTC can do something with this problem: The first thing they'll do is hard-reset the device.
And see: No Problems --> Software related --> Bill for end user. $$
I've got the same problem and left a message at the HTC Support, hopefully they will fix it
I had to start the TP2 about 10 times until the TF3D started...
I will try, disabling the PIN, thx for the advice
Well for me it, I got 100% work on my TF3D since i bought it until today no matter how many times i restarted it.
I always unchecked the TF3D before installing any third party software, and configured whatever setting on the software that i have installed before activating TF3D again.
Never have problem with TF3D.
since i deinstalled s2u2 i never had that error again
I actually had the same issue, but disabling the PIN is unaceptable for me for security reasons.
I found that if a popup appears (no matter which popup, e.g. an empty battery notification) BEFORE the PIN is entered, TouchFLO will not start. Any popup after the PIN seems to have no influance.
So you'll have to check whether you see a popup before the PIN (and they can appear very shortly) and then uninstall that app.
That should solve your problem...

didn't solve my problem, because I do not see any popups, before PIN.
HTC Support wrote me to Hard Reset my TP2 and If it doesn't work then, I'll have to send it to HTC for repair....
I will try a hard reset tonight
I raised this with HTC some time ago and they advised quite a few people have called / emailed them to advise of this very problem.
I think they are working on a patch to fix this but as yet i have heard nothing.
I also noticed that a messed up entry in the launch manager can prevent tf3d from starting. I tried to unlock some of the locked entries in the registry and accidently messed up some key. This prevented TF3d from starting.
I have the same problem, i solved disabling ACR.. But now manila start is very-very slow!
So.. I think there is some issue with ACR. You confirm?
worked for me

this did it for me too. S2U seemed to be the common denominator in all the issues for everyone. a+b doesn't always equal c when we are talking causes of issues but it looks like it in this case to me. i liked the app but i could never get it to work exactly like i thought it should anyway.
so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile
This happens to me very frequently and is fixed by just exiting the sms screen and opening it again. But it seems to have been happening much more often lately.
I tried searching but can't really think of the words to search for for this problem and came up with no results. so i'm sorry if this has been common.
Anyway, in case it is unfamiliar. When I go into the sms texting screen the portion that you type in on the bottom is cut off by more than half and this makes it very annoying to type. Any one know any fixes?
Thanks
Open the on-screen keyboard and close it - it will disappear.
I had the same problem a while back. I did what Genesis3 described and it would momentarily fix it, but it would show back up later. I have hard reset since then (for other reasons) and I haven't noticed the problem since.
i have done a hard reset recently and it still occurs :/ but thanks about opening the on screen keyboard, didn't know that. So there is no permanent fix?
Running a stock rom I also get that once in a while. I tap the onscreen keyboard then tap it off and it is fine. Pain in the ass though.
Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:
1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.
2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.
I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
i have the first problem too... very frustrating but i like the stock sms application because its so simple... tried chomp sms and handset 2 months ago and went back to stock app because i couldnt search in greek to add a contact (i dont know if it has been fixed)...
non rooted desire with froyo
yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine
