[Q] Fix for Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard Bug? - Xoom Accessories

Bought the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard with my WiFi Xoom since I figured I wouldn't have to worry about syncing using it. Certainly it paired up as easily as any keyboard I've ever owned.
HOWEVER - when I am typing a Gmail message, inevitably it will start after a few lines getting "stuck" on some letter (different ones) and just keep repeating until I turn off the keyboard. I then end up with an extra draft or two I have to delete, not to mention having to select several lines of a u or n or w or...
Is it just me? Known bug? Any solution in sight?

its a known bug for sure mine does the same thing im hoping that moto and google fix this soon cuz its really annoying sometimes. cuz i love this keyboard its got all of the shortcuts i could ever need

It happens with Apple keyboard as well. Must be a bluetooth bug.

[Q] To those of you using the moto keyboard and Razer Orochi Mouse

Do you find that your keyboard disconnects a lot? When I'm using it with my mouse it tends to disconnect and un-pair an awful lot. So,thinking my keyboard was just a bit busted, I exchanged it for a different one. Aaaaand this one seems to do the same thing. Anyone have similar issues? I know tons of you are using the same configuration. I'm on the tiamat rom.
bring up my post
anyone.....
I don't think anybody has that specific combination. But maybe if you rephrased to Bluetooth mice as a general subject, you may get some answers.
at least 4 other users have commented and posted pictures of this specific combo in other threads.
Well maybe go for a direct approach and pm them?
I havnt had any issues... but i dont regularly use both of them at the same time. I mostly been using my XOOM by itself. Are you using a custom rom or kernel? Have you tried doing a factory reset?

yes, my keyboard disconnects constantly, and I have to go into settings to connect it again. I try pressing all the buttons, turning it on and off......doesn't help. My Microsoft bluetooth mouse doesn't disconnnect. I tried turning off the mouse and just using the keyboard, but still have the disconnects....the onscreen keyboard keeps popping up. I'm typing this now on the Moto keyboard.....it's a great size, and I can type really fast on it. When it's connected.
edit: Ok, I think it actually was the mouse (Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000)....it's been disconnected for a while, and the keyboard is working fine. So I have to find another mouse. It really was neat being able to use the mouse, but if I wanna type really fast, I gotta turn it off. I missed 3 eBay snipe bids because the keyboard wouldn't connect. LOL
maybe it's a mouse issue in general then? I have a different mouse than you and your symptoms sound exactly like mine. BUMP THAT, could you do some testing for us? Just use your mouse and keyboard together more often.

I was chatting on Facebook for a while using just the keyboard with the mouse turned off, and it was typing in all caps a lot and wouldn't backspace some of the time. I gave up and used the touch keyboard. I'm away on vacation, but when I go back home I have another of the same Moto keyboards. I'LLC have to try that. It was practically free with that 50% off, $50 off sale they had, so I have 2. Oh, nice...it auto corrected i'll to I'LLC. Nothing is working for me today! LOL

i might bringthe mouse and keyboard to best buy this week to see if I can replicate the issues on the Acer and Samsung tabs.

I will try to replicate the problem. Anything u r doing in particular? How long should I wait before I say im done?
occasionally it'll go forever with no problems for me. Other time's it'll disconnect and give me issues within the first minute
Sync keyboard
Sync mouse
Do stuff
Try syncing the mouse first too, whatever
I tried both out and nothing... I was on facebook for about 15 - 20 minutes and I didnt have any issues. Im running BRD's 3.1 HC update not the tiamat rom. I can test again later and see if it acts up, very odd tho.
I'm on the rom. jumphour what are you on.

Motorola Xoom WiFi - Tiamat Xoom 1.4.4 overclocked to 1.54 GHz
so stock image with tiamat kernel then
Yes im on stock, with tiamat kernel. Im gonna update to tiamat 1.1 rom soon.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but this still seems to happen, regardless of the keyboard and device. I have a Nexus 7 with the Logitech keyboard, and the Orochi conflicts with it as well. It's a problem with Android in general.
For what it's worth, the Bluetooth Settings menu shows both the Orochi and the keyboard as keyboard devices, as in you can select a language/layout that the Orochi uses, even though it's just a mouse. Maybe that's why we're seeing the conflict.

Keyboard lag in landscape

Just thought I'd check to see whether anyone else is experiencing this. When typing in landscape mode there is an occasional slight lag on typing that is not apparent when in portrait mode. Can anyone else confirm?
Its a bit intermittent and doesn't always happen right away though.
Yes I have experienced this quite a few times, and it is rather annoying. Only way to resolve it seems to be restarting the phone.
Hopefully its on their list of things to do!
Apparently this is an android keyboard bug. I've stopped experiencing it on a third party keyboard (go keyboard)

I am having the same problem hoping that a fix comes along soon it is a little annoying
The Nexus S had exactly the same problem, except it affected the keyboard in either orientation. I think they fixed it a few months after the handset released.
Just adding my $.02, I'm seeing the same lag in landscape on the VZW version of the phone too.
Huge lagggggggggg here!!!!! Pretty annoying because the keyboard is so great in ICS that I can finally type pretty fast and reliable. The lag slows me down.
If you go to your keyboard settings and turn off spell correction under language it fixes it...this does not break spell correction...not sure what that does.

I would not consider disabling a feature of ICS a fix for this problem at all.

[Q] Broken Phone - Strange Symptoms

After two years of use my Desire HD has developed some strange problems after I dropped it. The volume rocker does not work, the WiFi and bluetooth dont work and finally the strangest problem, that the keyboard does not come on when you want to input text for any App. The screen and touch input work without fault, scolling and selecting icons without problem. Making phone calls and internet connection seems to be OK as well.
I suspect I have damaged the motherboard or some other hardware, so before I buy a new phone I was wondering if anyone else had any of these problems and if so was it easily fixed.
Cheers

i knw this may sound strange but try flashing another ROM first,worth giving a try..
I did as you advised, which fixed the keyboard problem. The other faults are still evident so I guess I have damaged some hardware or cable. At least I can now use the phone to text message.
I will have to have someone take a look at the inside of the phone. Checked a diss amble video out and it looks complicated.

[Q] Annoying BUGS

Sprint Version, OTA update on launch day.
Bug 1: Continually goes into "Car Mode". I'm not sure if it is somehow related to the holster I'm using or what, but I pull my phone out at least 20-30 times a day and it's in car mode. It becomes super annoying when you answer a call and it immediately goes to speaker phone. I tried "force stopping" this app, but that didn't work. Next step is to freeze it, but come on...I shouldn't have to do that. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Anyone have insight about some auto-Car mode or pushing certain buttons turns it on automatically??? Weird.
Bug 2: When typing in the texting app (only place I've observed it). I'll get a few words in, then randomly, the cursor goes back to the beginning. It's been happening pretty consistently and I even noticed it on the demo model at the Sprint store (thought I had hit an arrow or something). This happens ~3-5 times per day and annoys the hell out of me.
Other than these, this phone is a BEAST. Super fast and beautiful screen. I'm missing CM10 and will definitely root/flash when the bootloader is cracked.
Anyone else notice bugs similar to these?

Those are ROM bugs. I think they will be fixed after JB 4.1.1 update in December

For the curser thing. Try Swiftkey. You'll absolutely love it, plus it fixes the keyboard curser issue
Thanks for the replies...
Bug 1: This is due to the magnet in the flap of my holster. I'm not a holster guy at all, but at work it's a must since I wear scrubs all day. I can reproduce the Car Mode by placing the phone close to the flap magnet. Makes me think they're going to have Car Mount accessories that will have a magnet and automatically turn Car Mode on when mounted. Also makes me think I need a different holster because my phone thinks it's in the care and I can't shut the damn Car Mode off (yet). Sigh.
Bug 2: It's not the keyboard. I know and like swiftkey, but like the stock android keyboard even more. I installed the AOSP 4.2 Keyboard 10 minutes after getting the phone. The bug lies in the Messaging app. I'm now running GO SMS without any issues....buuuuuttttt....I shouldn't need to do that to sidestep an annoyance in such a critical and basic app. Who the hell is testing these things and lets them out the door with even the slightest flaw in either the phone or SMS apps???
I'm missing my AOSP more and more. I love the phone and the hardware is quite impressive, but if this device doesn't get cracked and CM10 or 10.1 soon, I'll be swapping it out.
the only bug I've seen on this phone so far is that sometimes spell check does not work in the messaging app and then sometimes it does. (Spell check as in when it underlines an incorrectly spelled word in red)
I have noticed the bug #2 as well within the messaging app. Pretty annoying.

Ditto on the keyboard bug. Doesn't happen often enough to me to make me wanna change phones though...
I'm with you guys on the keyboard bug...as crazy as it sounds, I'm playing with the idea that this has to do with tilting gestures...I'm having a little success repeating the bug this way. I'll repost if I confirm this.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Dont have the keyboarding issue.
But i do occasionally have the Car Mode. bug I need this 4.1.1 update asap
Any fixes for Bug 2? My boyfriend & I got the same phone at the same time, and mine does this, his doesn't. I also think it has something to do with the tilt sensor. I'd appreciate any input if someone knows the cause. Thanks!
For 2, I use another messaging app and swift key flow and it doesn't do it anymore. Go SMS or the jelly bean app
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
I can confirm bug 2 when using SwiftKey 3 on the stock messaging app and especially when typing comments in websites.
the texting bugg has completely gotten annoying for me.. Cant type a full message without the arrow going back to the first word.

Use a different keyboard.
I use Swype but Swiftkey should work too. It is not the messaging app or the Rom.

The software definitely has bugs. But the only only one I can do without is this damn SMS bug.

I too believe it's the keyboard and the placement of it's keys. Using 4.2 keyboard and no problems. Just a taste of some AOSP to come. Hopefully (crossing fingers)
Has there been any official word when we are supposed to receive the update? I know it rolled out in Korea last month.

Anyone ever notice that the responsiveness of the touchscreen sometimes goes away? It will get sluggish and just plain unresponsive?
Happened to me this morning as I was scrolling through FB. Restarted the phone and it was fine.

Will try the Swiftkey because the swipe is not accurate in the stock ROM either, LG QC must be asleep because i noticed these the first day!!
Love the hardware too much but if the update does not come in 14 Days I will downgrade to the GIII.

Keyboard sound a heptic feedback.

Hey everyone!
I am a new owner of the Z5P and I am loving it. Best decision I ever made!
One problem. Ever since I got the phone, I have had a problem with typing. As someone who types faster than the average user, I find that the sound "click" and the heptic feedback from the keyboard don't match. It's almost like the sound will cut out if I type to fast and some sounds get skipped.
I have tried different keyboards, switched different apps, and even upgraded to Marshmallow, and I couldn't find the cause of the problem.
Sometimes, on a rare occasions, the keyboard will kick into gear, and preform like it should! But then it acts up again when I go and do something.
I often turn my phone off and on during work (I work in a contact centre and I keep my phone off for security reasons).
So I reach out to you. I am seeing if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it.

Nope don't have that problem. I'm guessing you're not sight impaired and can see what you type. If this is true, turn it off. It's noisy and irritating
