Droid Eris text input problems - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Text input will randomly stop working on my Eris, the autocorrect sees that I'm inputing text and offers suggestions but the text doesn't show up in the text box. This is happening with every keyboard I've tried including; HTC IME, HTC IME MOD, Shapewriter, and stock keyboard. This also is happening on all roms I've tried; KaosFroyo, Sensable, Evil Eris, and CyanogenEris.
After dealing with this problem since I've had my phone in December I finally decided to look for a fix, but I can't find anything on this forum or from any Google searches. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or have a way to fix it?

A bit of a development...
After paying more attention to this I have noticed that whenever this occurs my phone is actively uploading and/or downloading on an analog connection, or at least that is what it says in the notification area....

Same problem on my rooted Eris, running XtrRom3.0.3. Doesn't happen very often but would like to know if there is a fix.

Typing while on phone

I'm trying to figure out how to solve the problem of typing while I'm on the phone. For example, if I get a call, and need to type out a new appointment, I'll start typing on the built-in keyboard and instead of letters, I'm getting some numbers and symbols instead.
I'm sure this has something to do with the phone app, but it's a real pain to have to peck things out on the screen keyboard.
Does anyone know if there's a way around this?
Thanks
am suffering from the same problem, its not a problem but meant to be like that but am sure there is some kind of a tweak in the registery to fix the behavoir
Dito here, please post if fix is found.
use the onscreen keyboard
but its too much of a hastle, am sure its a registry thingii
Always deny, the same old HTC strategy!
Is a well Known WM6 bug in the HTC devices with keyboard. Well known to everyone, but denied from HTC!!
Same bug is in the Hermes ROM, in the beginning they said they will fix it but in my knowledge they haven't, just starting to DENY the problem!
Same old HTC story: deny, deny, deny, as in the HERMES screen misalignment, Trinity Start Meny problems, black Trinity peeling off.....
I asked about PK 2.0 rom but none answers....
Looks like this is a good lead:

[Q] My swype keyboard will randomly stop working

The swipe keypad on my vibrant will randomly stop working. When I press any letters nothing happens. Sometimes it will still make the swype trail but it won't put the words in. Then if I change the input method to either the android or Samsung keyboard and go back to swype again it will work for a while but then stop again. It's very frustrating because i love swype! Has anyone else had this problem?
I was having a similar problem, but I switched to the android keyboard permanently because it was irrititating the hell out of me.
I finally just called T-Mobile because I couldn't find a solution anywhere. They said they'll just send me a new one. In the meantime though it's back to the android keyboard.

[Q] Keyboard issues

Hey guys,
I've been having some keyboard issues for a while now and it's really starting to bug me. I'm currently on BAMF 2.1, but I've used various iterations of BAMF and I was even experiencing the same problem on CM7. Whenever I install a new ROM I do a complete wipe 3x and lately I haven't even been restoring data on my apps.
When typing, certain letters just don't work. It's really odd. I can sit there and tap tap tap away, and it may take like 6 taps to get a letter to work. At first I thought it was my screen, but I experience NO issues with the screen anywhere else but typing. The fact that what letters don't work often change (both in landscape AND portrait) also makes me think that it's not the screen.
I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro with a DX skin (had a DX before this and loved the keyboard), but I've even switched to the market version of the GB keyboard and experienced the same problem.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't always happen. I could go half a day with no issues, but then it pops up and it's pretty persistent.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's really starting to become a problem.
I have experienced maybe something similar. Since I flashed gingerbread ( my keyboard sometimes locks up. There's usually a delay of 3 seconds before it picks up. I'm using swift but it has happened on swype and the stock keyboard.
Happens to me, exact same problem but it also happened on my inc so I'm not too worried lol it IS annoying but doesn't last for an extended amount of time

Ugh, this is still happening to me and still being a pain in my ass

Keyboard Stutter

I am having this issue... I can be typing along in swiftkey, thumb keyboard or the built in key board and after awhile the process of keying just goes crazy. I will hit a particular key like say n and all of a sudden 5 or 6 other random letters will show up. Or some spaces or some punctation marks or numbers. And once that starts it is hard to stop it. Every word I try to write just shows up as all kinds of crazy letters.
Anybody else experience this?
Not on my flyer, but my N1 will sometimes freak out and misregister key presses. Turning the screen off and back on seems to fix it though.

I use swiftkey and have never seen this problem. Have you tried the stock keyboard? does the problem occur there?
Problem can occur with stock keyboard or swiftkey. I am having a dog of a time typing this. It seems to be a function of typing for a long time.
I know this thread is old, but i am having the exact same problem and i dont know what its causing it. Do you think it might be the touchscreen itself? Or maybe the keyboard app? A custom rom would solve the problem? Is it a faulty device, or a characteristic of all the devices and there is nothing to be done about it?

Random SMS dissapears

Hi all
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but as it's a general Android issue i thought this was the best one to post in.
I have had this for a while since i have been using ICS Roms and I wondered if anyone else has had it
I use a abacus Bluetooth watch which among other things vibrates and displays when I receive a sms
Sometimes I have noticed that if I get a sms it displays on the watch but it does not appear on the phone at all, not in the message app or notification bar
But weird is that today it happened and as I saw the text on the watch but again it did not appear anywhere on the phone so I sent a reply and straight away their 2nd text appeared as normal so it's not even down to a certain contact
I've checked all settings that I can think of and it can't be anything to do with the watch software as that only displays what the phone receives
I used to have ARHD installed until I Tried Elegencia and have had the same issue with both, maybe it's a ics issue ?
I have posted this in the Rom thread but thought that this may be a wider issue
Would love to hear if anyone has the same issue
Thanks
