I have a problem,
after a while my BA keyboard turns off. the blue backlight isn't lit anymore, and i can't typde. After a softreset everything works fine again.
Anyone have the same problem, or better, a solution to this problem?!
I used to have this problem a LOT with my new BA device, but with the 1.40 ROM I never saw it again. Since you're on 1.40 already, then I guess I don't know how to help. But hey, are you using the i-mate ROM?
No I am using the (dutch) Qtek.nl ROM.
So an official Qtek ROM.
Upgraded from an T-mobile (also dutch) ROM.
Don't know if the problem was there too, because i updated the devices when i got it.
But since all data has been overwritten this shouldn't be a problem.
Are you using the keyboard too much and then it does this problem?
People, anyone else having this problem?
Yes,
when I use the keyboard for sms it takes a while to "shut down", when i use it for MSN (so much more) it doesn't take that long.
So it seems like it "shuts down" after a number of characters, but it hasn't done that while i was typing.
Only with an time-out, so when the backlight turned off; then i can't use it anymore.
don't know for sure in what time period this takes place, because this changes a lot!
The same exact problem used to happen, but now that I barely use MSN Messenger, its gone. I am absolutely positive that this is not from Messenger itself... There is no specific configuration I use for my keyboard. The keyboard backlight is set to turn off in 10 seconds. Maybe this is a problem when it's under heavy usage. We all know the shortcomings of the BA make a long list, and here's one of them.
Oh...forgot to mention: it used to freeze at any time with me even while typing. The keyboard backlight goes off, and whoops, gone.
I've noticed with the cooked roms (both LSVW and Black) have an issue with keypad lag and dropping letters.
I text message and e-mail rather fast. When i slide out the keyboard and start typing a text message or e-mail, the letters lag behind what i am typing (which is fine). But when the words catch up i notice some of the letters that i typed in were dropped from some of the words. The only way to prevent letters dropping is to wait 3-5 seconds EVERY TIME before i start typing. I noticed this lag and dropping letters only happens right after the phones switches to landscape.
I dont i ran into this problem with the factory rom. And with the MDA Vario and Cingular 8125, i would experience the lag, but when it caught up no letters were dropped. Are there any fixes for this?
That's been a problem for me since I got my Hermes. I think I'll wait a few months after it's been released next time I buy an HTC product. Too many problems with early versions, if you ask me.
Try reducing the auto complete...
When mine was in the default settings, it was suggesting four words as soon as I typed the second letter of each word - net result a busy processor and lags in typing...
I have now set it to suggest just two words after four letters and emails and texts are now a delight to type! (It does however also affect the auto suggest for email and text addressing so I now have to type four letters of someones name to get suggestions
Well if i turn off or limit autocomplete... that kinda defeats the purpose. I shouldnt have to step down my settings for it to work. I really dont think this is a hardware problem. There has to be some kind of fix for this...
As i said, roms with my mda vario and 8125 dont lag during typing text or emails. I have autocomplete suggestions set on MAX and it works perfectly...
even on the normal rom versions my hermes drops letters...
so no big deal for me

Trust me it will work ... am using

- suggest 3 words
Works like a charme ...

since this issue was covered in that thread i am going to play housekeeper and lock this one... if anyone feels it should be unlocked you can pm me and plead your case..
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.

Hey all,
I am running the Cingular 8525 variant of the TyTN with WM Black Satin.
Since the days of Black 1.2 I have rarely, but randomly had the keyboard randomly fail while using the device. When this failure happens, the Nav keys and Soft keys on the face of the phone still work, just the slide out keys do not. Also, the screen based "soft keyboards" and other input methods still function.
I am pretty sure this is software related because a SR is all it takes to fix the problem.
What I am wondering is:
1) Does anyone else experience this problem?
2) Does anyone know what specifically causes it?
3) Does anyone know of a way to fix it without a SR? (sometimes I am in the middle of things where resetting isn't an option until I am done my task)
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks for any useful input.
Hi. i seem to have a bug on the onscreen keyboard. basicaly, whenever i press a key no animation is applied as if pressing a real key on a keyboard ie see the specific key pressed down.
It doesnt seem to work no matter what screen or app i am running. However, it does operate fine when i do the keyboard tutorial?
anyone having issues with this?
edit: seems to work fine when i switch the keyboard into numeracy mode
Another edit: fixed the issue by changing the keyboard layout completeley via the settings and back to full qwerty .
Not really linked to your problem, but I noticed a strange behaviour when setting up Copilot on my Desire today. Basically no matter what i typed, it automatically retyped some letters back again. Trying backspace too added the last letter again and then subsequently deleted it. I wanted to type say [email protected] and it would type [email protected]@y... It reminded me of similar keyboard issues on the Nexus One. Thankfully I did not notice the same issue when i typed in landscape mode.

I had exactly the same problem, didn't think of trying it in Landscape mode mind you, but it was only on the user name field and not the password field in CoPilot.
talking about the touchscreen, anyone so far has experienced the mis-registering of the touch? feedback will be very appreciated. am a former Nexus one user and that bug haunted me a lot..

My screen is perfect. Absolutely love this phone. Very responsive, word prediction is sublime and I haven't had a single slowdown or crash. Check out my YouTube videos (misterleoni)
