Hi Guys!
I really, really need help with this one! Recently my touchscreen stopped working. And it is a hardware problem. Some liquid seems to have flown out, so no point fixing it. The rest works. However there is no way to press enter with the keyboard only. Do you have any ideas which shortcut might work to press enter with keyboard only? PLEASE help.

Alright my phone just started to act up last night ! My phone just started to take pictures on its on the camera would turn on and sit there and take them. IDK why!!! Also the biggest problem i am having it that my D-pad shuts off!!! when i try to use the soft keys they will not work for me. The Screen works fine! but when the soft keys don't work my keyboard don't work but the phone know i am using the keyboard as in when i press the space bar it brings down the start menu! Also when the soft keys dont work i use the on screen keyboard to type and that is even F%#!%# UP!!! i type on the on screen keyboard but i can not use the backspace on the or arrow keys. Also the scroll button on the side stops working on me also. when i am in call my soft keys shut off and i cant end a call!!! Now the weird thing about all this is i can turn them all on just by pressing one of the top soft key. (the Msg or internet button) and then everything starts to work again. now i have no clue what is wrong with it and i have tried everything from reinstalling the OS to Clearing the OS and that has not helped ! i really hope its not a hardware problem !!! Right now i have my Camera button off and the camera does not take pics on its own right now but my screen does turn on and just sits there and does nothing. But if anyone can help me solve this problem i will Donate to them = D!!!! Please Help Me Out ASAP!!!
Thanks!!!
well thats screwed upp. lol
yea i cant help you. i just wanted to tell you how screwed up it was.
I would try a hard reset first and/or rom reflash.. if that doesn't work better buy you a parts doner phone
Hi - Can someone please help me! I have tried to do the hard reset using the three buttons and its not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The Touch Flo 3-D is stuffed and because touching the screen wont work I cant disable it grrrrr. You can't press any buttons on the screen.
There is a limited amount that you can do with the physical keyboard (up down keys etc) but not enough to enable hard reset.
Have managed to get to the Clear Storage page - but as the Touch Flo isn't working - we cant get the Yes to work to finalise the hard reset
We can't get to Today screen to turn Touch Flo 3-D off either.
I can copy files across using ActiveSync to the phone - but am unable to execute anything as no ability to touch the screen (and the TP2 is missing the two physical buttons that the Tytn II had - god I am missing them sorely now).
Does anyone have any suggestions please - I am desperate for help. I Can't do much at all..
Thanks Kelly
Thanks
if you have a Verizon TP2 its a different set of buttons. Search for hard reset Verizon & it should help you (if that's the phone you have)
Also, make sure that the phone is completely off when you try to press all of the buttons.
Thanksssssssssssssss
XNIFEX - you a complete genius.. that was the missing link.. In the end I had to take battery out whilst turned on to turn it off.. then pressed all three buttons and hard reset is in progress.
On the down side I have lost everything on the phone due to TOuchFLo failure.. I think I might disable it upfront from now on.
Thanks again!!
Oops spoke too soon
Hi, I spoke too soon.. The hard reset worked.. but alas the screen is still not recognising touch. So I am back to square 1. Time for a warranty claim I guess.
Also I have a Telstra TP2 as I am in Australia. Thanks again.
If you have warranty use it!
The you can customize
On CM7, anytime I am typing on the keyboard loads up the shortcut for those letters. For example, when I just hit the 'e' key, it opens up the email. When I hit the 'b' key, it opens up the browser.
Any idea why this happens?
Go to Settings-Applications-Quick Launch. Go through the list and long-press to clear the shortcuts.

Me too, thanks a lot !
For french users :
MENU-->Paramètres-->Applications-->Lancement Rapide--> décocher avec un appui long sur la touche en question
had the same problem and that works, thanks.
but my problem is bigger.... the alt key stopped.
i press alt, the signal appears on the screen, but appears the letter q, not the number one for example...
somebody knows what to do?
thanks
hey guys... about my problem above... the shift key also does not work and the alt key works sometimes.... for example... to enter my password here it worked... right know typing here it is not working.
i am about to reset... nobody knows what to do?
thanks
I had this same problem recently. The problem was that for the shortcut to work I have to hold down the search key along with the letter key (to open the email Search+E). For me the fix was tapping the Search touch key on the front of the phone. I figured for some reason it had gotten stuck in thinking the search key was always pressed. After I touched that hardware touch key, everything started working again.
Major thanks for this answer. I was about to post this to the Q&A section of the Samsung Epic thread. The solutions here fixed my problems. I thought I was breaking the hardware on my phone.
Thanks a lot, you ppl really helped me!
similar problem?
hey guys, I thought I had a similar problem but after thoroughly reading the post I guess I don't
but in case anyone thinks they may be able to help, please take a look!!

Hi guys,
So this Saturday my home, menu, back and search buttons suddenly stopped working... The search button was the last one standing but it eventually gave in. At the time I had a MiUi Rom that I installed that morning, so I thought it was a problem with the rom. But since I've tried Jelly Time and now I'm using CodeFireX. Both have the same problem.
Then I thought that enabling the on screen home button would solve the issue. At least for now. But to my surprise... they don't work either. The only button that does sometimes work is the multitask button. But I have to press it in a very specific way.
I have absolutely no idea what to do... Please help.
Here's a video showing the problem: http://youtu.be/NX_ZKux3dtY
Thanks!

Did you fix it?
Hi
The letter p is no longer responding on my touch key board. I can press many times and no response.
Also the backspace button is not that responsive.
What's the best way to fix this? Is there something I Can change in the settings or do I need to have the hardware repaired?
Thanks.

Hello everyone, I worked out a solution myself so I thought I would share it with the rest of you.
a google search would suggest that I should try another keyboard,and having tried a few this made no difference. what i then realised was that I have an app called sidebar installed which was on the bottom right hand side of my screen and was affecting the p button as well as the backspace button. I have moved the sidebar outside of the keyboard range so it's no longer an issue now. Thabjs.
