keyboard not working at times?

seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?

Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.

Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?

is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh

i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?

i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.

My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

i'm on Fresh 3.1.0.1

Have u guys tried a different keyboard? Like the Droid x keyboard?

I'm on fresh too and I notice this bug. Only in messages though.

I'm running stock froyo and this happens quite often to me as well. If I wait a few seconds after I notice nothing typing on my screen it will eventually catch up and let me type normally again. This happens daily.

What keyboard are people using? I thought it was a Swype thing, but it sounds like the problem is more general.

Desire Gingerbread lock screen driving me crazy

So I recently (past month) decided to test out the GB ROMs for the Desire. Everything went perfectly smooth except for the crazy lock screen.
For some reason, if I call someone and they hang up my phone will go to the lock screen. As long as the proximity sensor is activated and i'm not the one ending the phone call it automatically locks the screen.
This happens if the other party hangs up, network error, busy, etc... and its driving me nuts.
So far i've tried CM7 RC1/RC2, Oxygen, Gingervillain, Devnull (stockish GB) and every one of them gives me the same thing.
I've changed ever setting possible but I keep receiving the same problem.
Now I'm not sure if this is related or not, but if when I connect my Desire to the computer it will give me the phone off/on click maybe 5-6 times in succession and then everything is normal. Same problem with all ROMs.
Could someone please verify that I'm not the only one with this problem? And if anybody has a solution I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Forgot to mention that the Sense ROMs dont have this problem.

I get the auto screen lock, not sure about the phone off/on click tho :/
Ive tried the same roms too..

Do you have a Sense GB ROM for Desire?
Anyways, try "Return to dialer after call" in contacts preference.

Nope normal GB ROM. And that doesnt work either :/

Well my friend got a brand new Nexus S with Gingerbread and I tried this thing out on it.
Turns out its something built into Gingerbread and it doesn't look like you can change it

[Q] pull down notification bar not working

i rooted my htc evo GB and flashed cm7. had all kinds of problems with the touch screen and keyboard. the pull down bar for notifications is still not working. i have since flashed myn's warm 2.2. everything works fine except the pull down bar still wont work.
any thoughts? your help is greatly appreciated.

Possible touch screen failure for that part of the screen.
Try returning to stock and see if you still have the issue.
I've seen this problem talked about a few times before so it's definitely possible.

Turn on auto-rotate if it's off, rotate the screen, then try to pull down the notifications. If it'll work that way, it's your screen.
I really can't think of anything else that it could be. If you need a temporary solution, you can use auto-rotate to open your notifications or put the status bar at the bottom if you're on CM7.
You'll need to unroot & take it to Sprint or try to fix it yourself.

the pull down does work when screen rotates. i should clarify that i am currently using the myn's warm twopointtwo mod right now.

My first thought is did you do a thorough and proper wipe before you flashed the ROM?

Every so often the top half of my screen will become completely unresponsive. I either wait about 5 mins, or do a hot restart, and it starts working again.
Edit: It has been doing it with every rom, Eclair, froyo, and gingerbread. It could be an overheating issue, or the hardware could be starting it's descent.

if i'm reading right a fresh wipe is wiping the user data and delvik right?

Data/Cache/Dalvik
I would recommend doing each 3x just to be sure.

I would include /system /boot as well for good measure.
android.secure and sd-ext [if it's used] as well.

i'll take that award now
sorry xda!

How do you change the swipe settings..?

Is backlight of touch input dynamic?

Hey all,
I experienced something a few mintues ago. I installed a new rom, Blissdroid. I 'discovered' that the backlight of the touch input (under the screen) was reacting dynamicly to sunlight. It went off in full sun. I couldn't find a setting to let it lighten up all the time.
I went back to Virtuous Unity, 2.35. It seems like the same thing is happening. I don't know if it's just normal (and I never discovered it before) or is there a setting I have to change (because I can't find one)?
Someone who can help me?
Thanks!

Settings>Display>Brightness and turn off automatic brightness and set it to a value manually see if that works for you.

I tried that, didn't work.
For you it is always lighten up, even if you are outsise/inside where it is really bright? When I go outside, full sun, those 4 touch inputs will stop shine. It seems there is something wrong with my DHD? Or Am I mistaken? Someone who can confirm it is always lighten up?

When inside those buttons will be on. When you go outside they will turn off. They don't have a setting to turn that off

Oh, so it is just a normal feature of DHD? Weird that I just discovered that yesterday

rcmix 4.0 and roms that use rctweaks have settings for this. alternatively you can set it to your exact preference if you edit framework-res according to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034743&highlight=systemui+apk
the link is manly aimed at tweaking your autobrightness, but it has info on butons too

Thank you. I only feared a problem, caused by changing ROM, as I never saw that before. I Thought those inputs were always lighten up, in every dark/bright situation.

depends on rom authors preference i suppose
if you are using sense 3.5 runnymede port, you can also flash tweaks as addon. some very nice features in there

Thank you all. I'm not great in flashing ROMs, certainly nog all those tweaks. I tried Virtuous Affinity and Blissdroid, but in both I heard a pop sound after playing music, sound, ringtone,... It seemed like I was not alone.
So I went back to Virtuous Unity 2.35, which doesn't give me any problem, except for a random bootloop from time to time (for example after playing Angry birds and once just after sending a message) what I can fix by replacing the battery. This happens 1 time in 3 months or so.
I just don't want to brick my phone, so I don't experiment much. Maybe one day, when I've got a new phone, I can use my DHD to experiment more.

[Q] s3 stuttering/twitching

I have tried searching for this problem but I must be using the wrong terms... so sorry in advance if I missed a post that addressed this issue.
My sprint S3 does this twitchy/glitching thing on every touchwhiz based jellybean rom (does not do it on TW ICS ROMS) I have tried. It basically makes it nearly impossible to do sliding animations, IE it can actually get stuck and start flashing halfway between screens, or when pulling down the top menu, however you can open new programs just fine if you are already on the right screen for them. Luckily it does not do this all the time, but when it happens it keeps doing for 10 minutes or so and its annoying as hell.
I figured this must be a rare issue even though it effects both my wifes phone and mine, since I have never read anything about it, however I just got a new replacement phone and it does the exact same thing, even on dead stock TW JB ROM.
Oddly enough I discovered last night that if I turn on my screen filter app it stops completely, but it starts right back up when I turn off screen filter..... any ideas how to fix this?

Try grabbing cache clear from the play store and set it to run every 12 hours. It helped my phone a good bit.

I had it dude, but it was just on the CleanBean ROM, it was annoying as hell!
So I changed the ROM, Its weird that its happening on a Stock ROM, any suspicious app?
