Hi, I have done a fair bit of searching and it appears I could be the only one with this issue. My phone has been perfect except for the keyboard, specifically the letters on the lower right side of the Keyboard like M L K and the Delete or back button. I can press and nothing happens. After about 2 or 3 times the key will eventually work. Doesn't happen all the time, just enough to be annoying. So... anyone else having this issue? I am using the gingerbread keyboard, however it doesn't matter as it happens on the stock one as well. And whats up with samsung not having auto-complete lol Thanks
Anyone? Well i guess its good no one else is having an issue hahaha
I had the same problem!! I took it to a tmobile store and exchanged it for a new one!

I have a weird issue. Sometimes when I am typing out words, the letter "i" will capitalize itself In the mIddle of a word. LOL there It just dId It to all of these words I just typed! See the "mIddle" "It" and "dId" I can't get it to go lower case no matter what I try. It doesn't happen all the time, as you can see the rest of this post is going ok. It's only random. It's not really a big deal, it's just really weird! Anyone else have this issue? I've already tried turning off auto-capitalize in the keyboard settings, but that didn't work.

I never had this happen to me...but that might be because I switched to the jellybean keyboard as soon as the phone came out of the box (in my opinion, the TouchJiz keyboard sucks!).
Same issue here. (Sometimes)
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I had the same issue once after upgrading to the LG8, but after I turned off the phone and back on, it has worked fine ever since.
So I figured out that it only happens when I have to go back and add/edit something in the middle of a sentence or paragraph that I already typed out.
Sent from my seksi SGS3 using Tapatalk 2
I had same issue with the stock keyboard. Only happened when I went back to edit. Pretty sure it's a bug. Went ahead and downloaded swype.

Hi guys,
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy SII on eBay. I decided to take the plunge even though the seller said it was for "parts and not working". He said the problem he was having was that the phone would shut off by itself, no matter what he did. He said this happened maybe once every 10 times he pressed the sleep button.
I got it yesterday and started messing around with it. I haven't encountered the problem yet but I only used it for a few hours. I proceeded to successfully root the device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1) and it seems to work ok. I'm not using the phone yet and I guess I was just wondering if you think the problem may have just "gone away". If it did, I would feel very lucky. I won't know for sure until I start using the phone regularly, but I needed a reliable phone today at work and that's why I didn't bring it with.
Any thoughts on what could cause this issue and possible solutions are appreciated. I've read some people say it's related to the CPU or the button itself, or perhaps even the battery. The owner had never rooted the phone so he was just running the regular T-Mobile Gingerbread rom.
Thanks and Happy Friday!
Probably the power button problem

Thanks for answering, Teo. If it's that, it should be fairly simple to fix. I'll report back just in case somebody is having the same issue.
Since the JB ROM's suffer from random restarts and sleep of death issues, I would recommend flashing an ICS ROM. This will get you a more stable environment for testing, so if the device suddenly shuts it self off, you'll know it's not the ROM.

+1 to this suggestion. Flash a ROM that is known to be stable so you can confirm the original issue. I'd suggest stock (gb or ics, doesn't matter) for the best test environment.
Thank you guys! Your responses are greatly appreciated!

I bought it used on eBay, I'm not the original owner. And I didn't see the SquareTrade warranty option for this purchase, perhaps because it was under "For parts & not working". I haven't come across the problem yet. I have flashed a few different roms (ICS) but every one of them has given me some type of problem. I'm still using my very reliable myTouch 4G and I'm starting to doubt if I really want to dump it for the SII.

iSheep have different mentality. At least where I work... "But... wait... how... Wait a minute, I can jailbreak and do the same, just watch me"
I am not holding my breath.
I work at JCPenney's and with former apple bigwig now running the show here, its amazing how many problems I encounter daily with CR-apple devices...
I just want to pull Ron Johnson aside and tell him to invest in XDA Devs to manage competent android devices... been waiting months for any new app, and the ones we do have have are in serious need of updating(months overdue)... to think how fast devs get things accomplished for practically nothing on XDA, while apple devs under contract with JCP take months to get anything done is a travesty

First, be sure to have both apps opened. Then, on one of the apps touch on the typing area, to bring up the keyboard. Write at least one letter, and it should be able to float around. I tried to make it float without writing a single letter and it won't. Maybe it's just me, but it worked as described. :thumbup:

I wouldn't be surprised if a jailbroken iPhone could do that. And it'd be worth more in 2 years - and it'd still be getting software updates too, which I'm almost positive our Note 2s won't be getting in more than a year. >>
However, one thing the Note 2 can do that the iPhone will never be able to do is use a stylus like the s-pen. Sure, you can use a stylus, but it's like drawing with preschool crayons.

I don't have a note 2. I have an iPod touch and an Atrix 4G.
Apps on the iPhone can't resize. There is no framework for it. Even if it were possible the screen is too small.
Also I haven't seen any alternative keyboards.
The iPhone has a solid, simple, smart experience, however it does not have the potential of Android. An iPhone looks nicer, works seamlessly but isn't as capable as an Android phone.

Cool. But not everybody is a flashaholic and wants to install custom roms every minute to see what works and what doesn't or what's better on battery. I don't flash roms and haven't done so since the OG Epic with the keyboard.. I don't find it necessary as it was years ago. I like stock rooted and being able to take OTA updates.
