I'm having a strange issue on my keyboard. I have tried searching but I haven't been able to find anyone else with the same issue. So forgive me if this question has already been answered or if Im doing something wrong. Anyway, whenever I press the "e" button on the keyboard it will take me to the set up an email page. Pressing "L" will take me to the calendar, pressing "c" will take me contacts and there are a few others like that. I only started having this problem after rc2 and at first it wasnt a big deal. I would just reboot the phone and it would work normally for a few days then it would start again. But recently I find myself having to reboot phone after a few messages or just use the swype (which I hate using). I have done a full wipe and reinstalled to no avail. Also issue only seems to be on cm7 I tried miui rom and that worked.
Once again sorry if this has already been posted somewhere. Thanks

Ever since i flashed to the CM6 Nightly builds i've been encountering a few problems. These problems didn't exist with my previous rom which was the damage control 3.2 i think.
First problem is the on-screen keyboard, it seems like this keyboard is the one that comes with the new froyo update, i dislike this keyboard mainly because everytime i try to type anything in the web browser box the whole keyboard screen slides up after each button press. this gets extremely annoying, this keyboard also doesnt have the directional buttons so editing documents or just simply editing typos is cumbersome. I would like to switch back to the keyboard i had before, i believe it was the keyboard that was on 2.1
Second problem is the flash player doesn't work at all, it definitely worked on Damage Control but for some reason it doesnt work on this CM6 build, yes i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to fix this problem. Is this a known problem in the CM builds? Mainly flash videos don't work. i've yet to try it on games like miniclip.com.
any help on these two problems would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Couldn't post this in the synergy thread as don't have enough posts. Have not seen anyone else with this problem.
About once a day my keyboard will no longer display what I type on the screen. I can see it cycling through the dictionary but nothing will end up on the screen. Been doing this for the last several synergy releases.
This is with ANY keyboard as have tried the default android, Gingerbread from the market and Swype. Once I reboot the problem goes away for a time.
Problem usually surfaces in Handcent or Enhanced Email as those are the programs where I am the most and typing.
Anyone else run into this?
Thanks!

No idea, I used synergy for a good long time and never had that issue. What I'd suggest you do:
Use the stock e-mail and messenger apps for a day and see if the problem happens in there. If it does, then you might need a clean, fresh install. If not, then you know the problem lies Handcent and Enhanced E-mail apps and, thus, I recommend finding replacements or learn to like the stock apps.
Worst case, just reboot the phone when it happens. Reboots are like erasers, it fixes all the problems.
If I helped, please hit the thanks button ^_^
Thanks for the reply!
Am assuming that a clean install would fix but have been seeking to avoid.
I did switch to Smart Keyboard Pro from the Gingerbread one and it seems like it may have fixed it.
Need a couple more days to verify...
So I've got this epic 4g touch. It's been nothing but trouble since I got it.
Used to be when i hit the home button it would take me to my normal home screen. Lately it takes me to a different screen and i have to hit "back" 100 times to get to my normal home screen. I've tried "home switcher" but it doesn't work.
So initially I thought this was something that my kid did, so I flashed calkulin's 2.8 (first positive experience I've had with E4GT) and that fixed the problem. for a day or so! and now the problem is back!!! did sprint push somethign to my phone? Anybody else seeing this?

I would flash back to stock and start over, when I had my Vibrant I ran into a similar issue once with "ghosts" in the system. See if that works good luck!
I had that on stock rooted el29. what I found out is that It was taking me to my clock dock. it was a blue screen with my alarm and other stuff. I deleted the app clock and just installed an alarm clock. since then no more problems. if that is what you are seeing delete clock.
This is exactly what's happening!! Thanks for the advice, I'll try that.
Any idea why this just springs up all of the sudden?
Thanks again.....
no I have no idea why its happening. it pissed me off and I finally found out what it was. I have no idea what set it to do that. I know it wasnt me.
So, just in case somebody else finds this, the solution above worked perfectly.
I downloaded Titanium Backup (root) and found the "clock 1.0" and first backed it up, then uninstalled it. Problem solved and I did not even have to reprogram the "home" key -- it just worked.
Now if i can only solve the other problem -- around the same time this started happening, another strange thing... whenever i answer a call it starts off on "speaker" mode. I never set this and it just started happening the other day.
Man I miss my HTC...
Ive sort of tried to search this one (How do I search JUST the Epic 4g section of XDA??) and found no one describing this problem the way I do...
This is my second time having this issue, and the fix for it last time was a pain in the ass, so id like a new fix-
Every app, every aspect of my phone, continuously resets/reloads. This is most noticeable with Hancent SMS, as it saves a message as a draft when you close out of the app... Well, right now, ill be typing and "message saved as draft" will constantly pop up at the bottom of the screen (about once every 2 seconds), and the phone will lag and it will erase 1 or two characters(making me look like I cant type :silly: ).
If this was the only problem, maybe I could live with it, but it affects everything. Launcher Pro randomly/continuously resets. The notification bar often resets while trying to pull it down. The phone app will close or freeze as soon as I start receiving a call. Sometimes it'll play my ringtone without a way for me to answer, other times I never knew I missed a call unless they leave a voice mail... And sometimes its worse than others, sometimes its fine for an hour, then something goes stupid and even a reboot doesn't help. For instance, right now, it was happy. I launched aLogcat to check it out and now the screen orientation REFUSES to stay one way. Even setting the phone down, it switches directions every few seconds, which makes aLogcat reload and therefor its unusable.
I haven't mentioned what im running because Ive had this exact same issue on a totally different rom, almost a year ago, but im running-
build - SleeperROM_3.0.0_FC09
kernal - 2.6.35.7-Shadow-FC09_v1.0
baseband - S700.0.5s.FC09
firmware - 2.3.6
Ive had this happen on EB13 on the EpicExperience ROM too.
SOO, if anyone has advice on how to fix this, id be extremely interested.
On the other hand, last time I had this issue I was convinced it was a corrupt piece of memory somewhere early in the OS, something I corrupt during install, and I went ahead and reflashed and wiped and reflashed and wiped and returned to stock and etc. etc. etc... and that seemed to work... actually, I dont know exactly what part of the process fixed it, thats why I do not want to repeat it unless I have to... BUT, if someone would like to explain/point me in the right direction. I'd like to know how to DELETE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and FLASH as CLEAN as possible. (that is, if no one else knows of a fix for my problem)
thanks all!
Err, well only thing I can think of is a truly clean install using Odin. This means do not restore any data from backups. Then slowly begin installing applications 1-by-1 through the play store website (for speed sake) to see if your issue creeps up again.
It also couldn't hurt to format your SD card too. Corrupt data on the SD card can cause some wonky things at times.
get another device...i hope u have the equipment protection plan
Thanks for the advice guys OFF TO THE ODIN MACHINE! haha.
Hey guys, I'm a new member of the XDA Community and was hoping to address an issue my new Galaxy Nexus has been running with. First of all, it is a Canadian Nexus device and is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I've had the device for a week now, and it was day ONE where the Nexus started malfunctioning. While on the homescreen, lockscreen, or just using apps, the device would randomly press things. Now what I mean is, while I was texting, the device randomly typed in gibberish. My fingers didn't touch ANYTHING. Or another time I was on my lockscreen and the device started glitching by going to emergency dialer inputting random numbers; I'd press back or off, but what the device was doing was pretty much overriding my commands forcing me to perform a battery pull. Also while browsing the phone inputs random things (be it links or what so) as well as opening up random things in a game (Knights of Pen and Paper). These "glitches" happen ONCE IN AWHILE. The phone might "glitch" for a couple of seconds before going back to normal. I factory reset the device and the problem still persists once in awhile (just not as severe). The phone might usually press the home button by itself (trust me, my hands and fingers are nowhere near the home button when that happens). I researched the issue and some went through this, but unfortunately, this doesn't feel like a hardware defect (if it was, would it not persist continuously/not randomly?). I don't think taking it to where I bought it would help because I can't replicate the issue (the issues stopped for two days before pressing random things again after, except it wasn't as severe). I just thought to let the community know about my ghost phone, so any questions and comments concerning my issue would be greatly appreciated! :laugh:
Sorry for the long post.
I'd backup my SD card and then completely wipe everything off the phone.
In twrp wipe>format data at the bottom. Not sure about cwm
There's no such thing as a possessed device.
Op, read this first.
Then, read the first post of this thread.
Oh I've seen a possessed device.
My friend has a spica that runs 2.3.7 on it. The same problem started with 2.2.2 and he hoped the upgrade to a newer rom would help.
It didn't help. Random key press is but one of the problems. The hardware buttons don't work and has made the phone unusable.
So can we rule out software issue on this? It could be the screen going bad.
Who knows..

OP,
Perhaps use paragraphs in future as well, makes it a LOT easier to read
