Serious issues.

Hi,
So i have some serious issues with my touch pro 2 and i wanted to know if this is ''normal'' or if i should contact HTC.
I first had an Iphone 3G but i wanted a physical keyboard so i brought the touch pro 2, the first few months i just had a few issues but now it's getting really bad let me list them:
1. Random calls, this is the worst one it keeps calling the last person that calls me first i tought it was the headset because it only calls people when the headset is plugged in. Today i jammed the headset button but it keeps calling the last person that called me randomly, since 1 week it also does this without the headset connected even when the phone is just sitting on the table.
2. Keylock, i don't know if i say it right but it is when you lock your phone so you can put it in your pocket and it won't do stuff. It DOESN'T work if i lock it (i go to start press lock and than turn the screen off) it still keeps doing stuff and calling random persons. Also sometimes i can turn the volume down and up and sometimes i can't.
3. Messages, When i send a message after i pressed send 50% of the message still keeps inside the message screen (just looks like i typed a new message)
4. Media player, it doesn't work in any way,shape or form. First it work ''fine'' but now i can't get my music in it i tried multiple ways but it won't work. The worst thing is i connected it to my pc transferd some music and the freaking thing copied ALL my audio from my pc to the phone (i make movies so i have 1000's of sound effects) and those are ALL in my media player exept my music.
5. Random things to start, when i'm doing stuff in opera suddently my text inbox launches or my email for no reason.
6. The on/off/lock switch, it is waaaayyyy to responive sometimes it just turn the device on in my pocket or turns it off.
7. Digital keyboard, i can switch it to 3 different types of keyboards but it's just random if i want to switch it i just tick the button really fast and sometimes the menu will pop-up sometimes it won't. And when i selected the right keyboard it sometimes decides to switch backagain or to some other keyboard.
8. WI-FI, sometimes it will just turn on the wi-fi for no reason, when i go to settings and check if it's on it sais it isn't but it still tries to connect to a hotspot.
9. RAM memory, it's always around 80% with NO applications running when i keep this thing on for longer than 24 hours i can't play video's anymore because it doesn't has enough RAM so i have to turn it off and on again.
10. Album, for some reason it's just giving random error's while it's still working.
This are only my major problems there are alot more i've got, i really get irritated by this phone sometimes i just feel like smashing it. Especialy when it keeps calling random people non-stop for 1 minute long.
When i wanted a new phone i saw that the touch pro 2 has windows on it, now i know windows has some problems so i hoped windows mobile will just work fine but as i can see it won't.
Here is some phone info:
HTC touch pro 2
4 months old
firmware 6.5
didn't mess it up or anything everything is still original.
restored it to factory settings 3 times but it won't help with solving the problems.
Is this just common for this phone or is it just my phone? Because if it is common i will contact HTC that i want my money back because i didn't payed 700 Euro's for a phone that isn't working properly.

Never had a problem like those....
Sounds like a bad handset.

Ditto, sounds like a defective device. Time to cash in on that warranty! Nonetheless, here's a couple of comments corresponding to your issues.
1 & 2
Sounds like your device is registering phantom presses of the call start button.
3
Don't know...
4
Just use drag and drop to your microSD. Don't depend on WMP to sync.
5
Random things shouldn't happen. If it happens even after a hard reset, it's definitely defective.
6
Never heard of the standby button on the TP2 being over-sensitive.
7
To bring up the keyboard selector, you need to tap the tiny triangle on the right of the keyboard icon. Alternatively, you can long-tap on the keyboard icon.
8
Definitely weird.
9
WinMo 6.5 is a RAM hog. But nonetheless, even at 80% RAM usage, you should still have about 46MB free. That really shouldn't stop you from doing anything. Many ppl use a RAM cleaner. My personal practice is to just do a soft-reset every 2 days.

What errors are you seeing?

Display becoming possessed and unresponsive

Wonder if any of you have had similar issues or know a fix.
Symptoms:
After using the phone for a long time, typically over an hour or do, the onscreen keyboard starts to behave erratically by generating 2 letters if I type one. Then, swyping doesn't give the desired result. If I zoom in and out in internet, it just starts scrolling to one side. Then the whole screen starts fluctuating. In fact the phone seems to have a mind of its own
Video of the issue: :

Troubleshooting steps tried:
I swapped my sim cards and sdcards to rule out their issues. Unrooted with ruu. Problem persisted.
Htc replaced the touch panel, put in an amoled instead of the slcd I had. They also replaced the main board. The problem didn't go away.
Wonder what could be the cause. If nothing works, I'll force them to replace the handset as a whole, but really like the amoled they've provided..

I had some of the same problems with my Desire under US Cellular. I noticed it the first day I purchased my phone.
The keyboard would just become unresponsive and it was like the keyboard was behind about 10 characters as I was typing (and I was a slow typer with a new phone and first full touch screen). It would also add random letters that I know in fact were not pressed.
Scrolling didn't give me as much trouble as you are going through, but still seemed very buggy.
The entire phone would seem to slow down as hours past and it remained on. I tried a hard reset, and even like you, removed the SD Card and nothing.
Took it back to US Cellular, showed the guy what was going on and showed him after a reboot how it would clear up... and they exchanged, no questions asked. I think it was just a corrupted phone. The new phone runs very smoothly.
By the way, the DB link you provided gives a 404 error. I would like to see it to compare with how bad it was for me.

hardware problem?

hi, had my desire z about a year now, since ive had it, quite rarely ive had a problem of it seeming to have a mind of its own, for example, icons may be selected, or the home screen will slide accross by itself etc. ive always put this down to a trackpad problem.
the other day (after having a miui rom installed for about 2-3 weeks, which was fine untill now), it started acting up strangely, the above problem started happening, but more severe, also the touch screen and softkey buttons would stop working for periods of time (or stop completely untill reset), but screen rotation etc would still be working, which shows that the O/S has not frose and is still working behind the scenes (making me think its a hardware problem).
now, i think ive worked out that this seems to be triggered (mostly) when i open the keyboard. (as also, when the touchscreen stops working etc, sometimes, sliding the keyboard open and close several times, will sometimes seem to unfreeze the touchscreen etc, and will be back to normal, for a while). ive tried doing full wipe and reflashing etc, but i still have the same problems mainly when using the slide out keyboard, which again, makes me think its hardware (possibly keyboard ribbon cable?)
i really dont want to send it off as that means getting it all back to stock etc, and last time i needed the screen replaced, took 6 weeks to get it back!
if anyone could pinpoint the likely source of the problem, id rather replace the part myself..
would anyone have any ideas, as they would be very much appriciated... Thanks...

anyone at all?

I got 2 Zs meanwhile but dont have any problem with the keyboard.
But sometimes when its charging i got the same issues like you - no touch is working and the screens are sliding nearly automatically.
I think this has nothing to do with the keyboard...
Hope this had helped you a bit

thanks for the reply, unfortunately im still no closer to finding source of the problem, its intermittant, happened lots yesterday, not so much today, maybe the digitiser? its like there is another invisible finger touching the screen..

This would happen when i was on stock froyo, like it would cause the home screen to hang, but if i was ion an app it worked fine. I would use it to refresh of sorts when my phone was hung up or i need to reload my apps from sd lol. Sounds weird I know, but even with stock froyo i had problems with my keyboard but with the prerooted GB its as smooth as butter...

still going on, and getting more frequent, i dont think it is to do with the keyboard anymore. im now guessing it is the digitizer, its like someone is pressing an invisible finger on the screen, roughly in the center. it comes and goes, it happens for about 3 days, then goes away for a couple of days etc.
also there is very little info anywhere on the net that can help, including replaceing the digitizer itself
anyone ever replaced one on a disire z/g2?

DAE experience keyboard lag when typing?

I've noticed that when I typed, the GNex can keep up just fine until I get to the second line of the text box and then it slows down like crazy. Even as I type this it cannot keep up, at all. It is lagging on every word.

I can't say I have any problems in portrait, or when I hit the second line, howeve rI have noticed the keyboard is a little laggy when typing in landscape, especially when using both hands/fingers to type. I want to get settled with the device before I consider rooting and flashing a rom which may rectify this.

I can confirm same as well.
Especially it's noticeable in GMail. Typing in Landscape the keyboard becomes very laggy (though still doesn't miss key presses), but it might be unresponsive for whole words, then suddenly spit them out.
Strangely, I haven't noticed this problem on portrait mode..
There is an existing issue raised up about this at android forums, go star it - so it get's more attention: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22432

I've noticed a little bit of lag on the landscape mode, but generally, portrait has been fine for me. I am a relatively fast typer, and only notice the portrait lag when I'm trying to quickly write out some text. It isn't too bad for me though, since the device still records the keystroke. The delay only comes in when the phone is writing out the text on screen.

Bugs on stock AT&T firmware (4.1.1)

I searched the AT&T Galaxy S III General forum and saw no other posts similar. Essentially, I was wondering if anyone had experienced other bugs in the stock firmware. I am not rooted and have not modified my phone's software from stock.
There are two bugs I currently have seen. One I can and will provide screenshots of. This is where during the lockscreen the formatting will be incorrect, such that the last number on the time will be small and the charging text appears on the same line. Also note that the lockscreen shortcuts at the bottom are spaced oddly. I always have five icons, yet sometimes only 3 or 4 show spaced unevenly. I can reproduce this by watching Netflix and while a video is playing, I lock the screen. When I first unlock it, this will happen. This will fix itself if I relock the screen and wake the device again.
The second bug is in the messaging app. Sometimes when my device falls asleep by itself while I have the keyboard up and active on a thread, and I wake it, the keyboard is unusable. I can click on the message block to bring up the keyboard, but all of my keystrokes are not entered into the message block. I have to back out of the keyboard and thread, to the thread list, then go back to the thread. My previous keystrokes are still not showing, but the keyboard will then work.
Anyone else noticed any bugs?

I'm fine on my phone

I've had the second bug happen with the keyboard maybe a handful of times since I got the phone but definitely not a regular occurrence.
I wouldnt worry too much about it but if it bothers you that bad just try a factory reset.

I've only experienced this issue that you describe. I've gotten used to it, so I'm now indifferent towards it.
I've had issues with the battery life however and how the actual "percentage" is being reported, but I think that it's just Jelly Bean that is causing the issue when my device is restored to stock setup as opposed to running ICS. Sometimes, my phone gets really warm overnight (and I can assure you that nothing is running in the background). Looking at the battery graph, I see a sharp drop within the space of about 20 minutes. This causes the back cover of my phone to be discolored. My i747 is only 5 weeks old and I'm the original owner.

phone minimizes
I have an issue where my phone screen turns off when I'm it for a while (typically at work I use a wired headset). When I wake the phone up and swipe on the lock screen, the phone shows the phone "app" for a second then it jumps to the home screen (as if I hit the home button). Typically I'm unlocking the phone so I can either hit a number on the phone (like, press 1 for English) or I'm wanting to hang up. So I have to go back into the phone application to do either task.
ICS didn't do that to me.

Me and a few others have experienced a bug where the external sd unmounts itself at random. Mostly when the screen goes to sleep. For one freezing the MTP application with tibu solved his sd problem but by doing that you cant mount your phone to a pc. As far me nothing has helped yet. My external sd just unmounts at random and I have to remove it and put it back several times to get it to work again and sometimes and I have to format it in the pc to get it to work again. This has happened to a a lot of tmobile users. I never noticed this problem on ics so im assuming its a jb problem. Its not a micro sd card being bad because it does it with my other cards to and one is a very expensive Samsung card..

I think this has happened to me once or twice. But I guess with the scarcity it's happened I thought I was bumping the back button or home button with my face, i.e. a failure of the proximity sensor to correctly detect my face.

I just started noticing the Keyboard Messaging bug myself. Wasn't sure why it was happening.

I just remembered (or refreshed my memory since my phone just started doing it) that whether or not TalkBack is off or on, my phone needs to tell me which number screen I am whenever I slide my finger across the dots at the bottom of the home screen or the app drawer. Is this a different setting I am missing or is this another bug?

I have had the messaging bug occur a couple of times. No biggee to me considering it has only happened twice in a month's time. I have seen other phones with much more persistent and annoying bugs and by comparison, this is nothing.

no problems here... i like it a lot now

Problem on Stock/root
Hey, not sure if this is the right place for this post, but my GS3 is on stock jelly bean and rooted. For some reason I am not receiving incoming calls. I tried calling my phone from gmail and the phone rings, but nothing happens on my phone. Any ideas as to why this is

I'm not sure if this is the right place either, since this is generally non-rooted, although the topic doesn't specify that I suppose.
However, I would venture a guess that you may need to wipe your data and cache. Sounds like a default app issue to me.

If I use bluetooth headphones on my walk to work, then plug in wired headphones at work, the audio plays out of the speaker.
It's really annoying because it happens every morning (as it's too early for me to remember things like that) and blasts my podcasts to my coworkers. Removing the wired headphones and reinserting fixes the issue.

No issues here.

Actually, I've had a similar issue. I use Google Play Music (as a carry-over from my Nexus S). When the first song of the playlist would finish (using the headphone jack to play through my car stereo), the second song would start on the phone speaker.
It doesn't seem to happen anymore, but it did directly after the JellyBean update.

PIN Lock Instantly with power button
I am upset that the "Lock Instantly with Power Key" option missing from 4.1.1. I have been searching for a fix, but I must be the only one annoyed by this, or I'm bad at searching.
...
I have a pin lock but am used to a 15 min delay before I need to enter the pin, and being able to push power to shut the screen off at will. That is no longer an option as it always will lock to the PIN screen if the power button is pushed. It is very annoying to me.

Another bug is the Keyboard defaulting Samsung Keyboard on reboot. Every time I restart, I have to go back into settings to select Swiftkey.
