Hey all, tried searching for this but found no one else having this issue. I have an issue when sending a text/email or using the keyboard. Randomly while using the spacebar, the spacebar will move approximately 10 spaces and then close out of the message. It may be associated with the common Vibrant lag- that could be whats causing it. It happens with all keyboard apps - swipe, better, stock android and swiftkey. Anyone else having this issue? Its hard to describe..
Right now I have stock vibrant. Got it bricked during the ji6 update and I'll root and modify it after 2.2 is out. My PC is old and couldnt handle the odin software!
Thanks for all your help everyone!

I'm still very new to android but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this same problem. whenever i swipe left/right at home to back/forth between diff. desktops, the contacts and call button do not go away. It's particularly annoying... Has anyone else had to experience this? is it a general android problem? Is there a fix for it?
I have attached a screenshot. Look at the bottom how they are overlapping.
Are you sure they're not part of your wall paper?

looks to me as tho you've installed launcher pro, and havent set it as the default home launcher, what u can do is download an app such as Home Switcher, and choose launcher pro as the default launcher for the phone, this should get rid of the default Blue launcher which is what you are seeing in the background
i installed launcher pro before and then restored the phone to factory settings because it happened a few days ago... so after that, i decided to stay away from launcher pro because i figured it might have had some bugs since the Atrix is brand new, blah blah blah.. Well, without touching launcher pro, it just happened again earlier today... I didn't install anything either. I might have unplugged the phone or something but other than that i have not installed any new apps today... I cannot remove it through the apps and it's not a part of the background... What can I do to fix this? There has to be some easier way than reseting to factory everytime? anyone else have any ideas? am i the only one experiencing this so far?
I still get the same problem... I find that when I go into the running application 'Home' and click clear data, the problem is solved. My icons and all my desktops are also cleared... Is there some sort of config file I could edit instead of losing my icons everytime this bug occurs? I also don't have launcher pro or any other launcher app installed atm.
i'd do another factory restore if not take it back to ATT if u bought it from them.
were you rooted before, and did you install the custom rom?
Both times it happened, I was rooted. I never installed the custom rom. I'm still trying to look into what's going on and see if I can find a config file that I can edit to change it.
Same problem with my new ATRIX
Hey everyone, I just bought the Atrix last week and had problems with it freezing right out of the box. The next day I noticed that the direction arrows that pop up when switching screens would pop up and overlap my call and contact buttons instead of them dissapearing just like he said. So I went and got it replaced yesterday and all last night and all today my phone was working flawlessly and I was very impressed and thought I must of had a dud until just now my phone froze while playing a game. GRRR not this again So I was forced to take out the battery to restart it and then I scrolled over to the next screen and the stupid arrows were overlapping the call and contact button again I think this must be a common problem. Two phones in a row this has happened. This is kind of pissing me off. Surely more than just the two of us must have this problem? And no I haven't done any of the things you guys said could have caused the problem. The first time it happened I hadn't downloaded anything other than facebook or ebuddy.
I was super excited for the atrix but now am wondering if I should have got something else.
So it turns out that it may have been a program called mixzing music player thatwas causing the problem. After having some problems with the app I removed it and reset my phone and the problem has resolved itself. If anyone with the same problem has mixzing on their phone I strongly recommend using something like winamp instead. My phone works great now and Bell finally released an update today aswell
hey everyone, I have been searching around for 2 days and have not seen anyone else post a thread about this.
I have had this phone since monday, and at least once a day I have an issue with they keyboard not typing. even if i change the input method the keyboard does not work. the keyboard responds to my typing but it does not typing anything into the text box. Only way i have been able to get it to work again is restarting the phone.
anyone have some insight? if not i am about to go exchange my phone for a new one.
I am not rooted, completely stock, and have applied the OTA update, but this issue has been happening since before the update.
thanks
Are you opposed to wiping your phone? If not, I'd go ahead and check out the thread in development titled with (OTA SBF) by yours truly.

Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem i am - and if there might be a possible solution.
I am finding that Swiftkey X will not autocorrect or input word suggestions when typing in Go SMS. If i hit the spacebar mid word... it will leave exactly what i typed. If i mis-spell a word and hit space at the end of it... it will leave exactly what i typed.
Im not sure if the problem is with Go SMS or with Swiftkey - but when i use Swiftkey in the stock SMS app (SGS2) - it will function fine.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
try restarting the phone.
that should fix it
I use the two apps but don't have the problem.
Have you choosen "Rapid" typing style i SwiftKeyX under Advanced?
Thanks for the replies guys.
Im afraid i never got a chance to test the reboot suggestion - i uninstalled another SIP i had (slideit) and found that swiftkey worked fine after that.
while i was having the issue...i had played with many of the settings and tested it in different apps (browsers, default sms/email clients, etc) and found that sometime swiftkey would behave, and sometimes it wouldnt.
now i am having no issue.
thanks again.
I am getting very frustrated with my phone. When I am texting my keyboard randomly inserts smiley faces. I have narrowed it down to when I press the Q on the keyboard. However it happens all the time and is really annoying. Anyone got any advice how I can fix this.
Are you able to switch to different keyboards and experience the same problem?
It only happens on the keyboard that comes on eclipse. The other one I try.. swype doesn't do it but I don't like the swype keyboard. Guess im gonna have to find another keyboard.
Well I just installed ics keyboard and it still happens this is annoying as hell.

Was the keyboard working successfully at one point and then all the sudden, stopped working as expected?
Before you go installing other apps, etc I'd suggest making a nandroid backup. That way if you do quite a bit to the phone before finding how to fix it, you can restore the phone to your current state and then apply the fix.
Once you make a backup, I'd suggest wiping the cache to see if something got stuck. It might not fix the issue at all but if it doesn't, you can restore from the backup anyway.
Also, is your sig correct, you're running Eclipse 1.2?
Well its been happening for a while now don't remember what caused it. I'm actually running 1.3 right now need to change that.
Actually I'm running ics keyboard and its not happening anymore. So hopefully it doesn't happen anymore.

Same here man... It is happening a lot less since I upgraded to the ICS keyboard. Might want to try that. However it still happens like once or twice a day. Better than 100.
So i have an HTC One, its bone stock and only 3 hours old. I love the phone minus one issue that im having. I did a search and saw nothing on it, so forgive me if its been pointed out or addressed.
If i use a non stock messaging app, in this case TextFree, typing in landscape mode it does some wierd things. Primarily, my "I"'s become "U"'s. if i go to portrait it types fine. Actually, most of the letters on the right side of the keyboard come out as something else. Anyone else seeing this?
Never noticed however I almost never type in landscape... Under settings->language and keyboard->HTC sense input->advanced there is a calibration tool maybe that will help.
