Im Running the X10A with 2.1 update1 Build 2.0.a.0.504 and I've been having an issue with the keys sticking...It sounds odd I know, but when I turn the phone vertically, and start typing on it, the keys will stick, often pulling up all of the other characters (such as the A key with the ~ mark above it and so forth)
Is there a Fix for this, or is it just an internal problem with the phone? I'm about to send this one back to AT&T if it is something that can't be fixed either...
you can always install someother keyboards ( smart keyboard, HTC_IME...)
I find this problem mainly on the facebook app.
Usually its the space key that keeps skipping along the whole text box but sometimes as you say, it brings up the special character box.
I thought it was a Facebook app bug not a handset bug.

Hi,
I have a problem when typing text on my x10 mini. The problem occurs when i want to change to an other word, and presses the little arrow so the drop down window appears. Or should appear, because sometimes that doesnt happen.
The box with the 2 most used words and the arrow, just dissapears and i have to deselect and select the word again to give it an other try. I sent my phone off to repair, and they replaced the whole screen, but still the same problem.
I found a few others on a danish forum with the same problem, but no solution. So i hoped that 2.1 would fix this. Debranded yesterday and installed 2.1, and still the same issue.
Is this a common (software)problem?
Or something hw related so it can be fixed?
Nobody that types on their phone?
The stock keyboard is pretty poor. I too have a similar problem selecting words.
Why don't you try another keyboard?

I have the EXACT same problem.
The reason why I don't switch to another keyboard is because this is the only one that I have tried that when pressed does not allow you shuffle through the other keys thus dramatically increasing my accuracy and speed.
The error only happens once per writing session.. In my case that is!

Thanks for the reply guys. I like the stock keyboard layout, and for me the screen is to small to use any other.
Im suppriced that its apparently a pretty common problem. Seems strange that it hasent been fixed, and the carrier and Xperia support also said that they had never heard about this problem before.
So im finally so mad about this, so threw the branded firmware back on and found the box to the phone, and off to repair once again it is. Cant see why SE dont fix it. Well okay, the one or two coders they have, has probably been busy with the 2.1 upgrade
Let me know if someone wants to know how this turns out.
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.
I am running bionix nextgen v2, and It was working fine for the first few weeks and now I seem to be getting a problem where I cannot type anything, switching back and forth between the two keyboards does not help. The only thing that temporarily fixes the problem is restarting my phone. I can touch the letters and it will act like im typing it, even giving me word choices, but the word will not show up even if i use voice to text it will not show the words. Does anybody have a permanent fix for this or has had this problem before?

Try going into Settings>Applications>Application Management, click on "all" find your keyboards in there and clear data for each one, restart and see if that works.
I have tried what you said but the problem still occurs after some time after restart, also I have tried new keyboards but it seems that the words will not show up anywhere when I type them even for searching the web. And I know the keys are working because it still pops up as if I had pressed a letter
save everything and go to CWM and do a factory reset
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?
Anyway to disable that annoying accent character popup when typing on a bluetooth keyboard?
I'm using a TP with CM7 3.5 with a Motorola BT KB. I'v googled this to death and haven't found any solutions.
I tried null keyboard. Don't work.
Can't find anything in settings.
Anyone know?
Thx
I have the same issue with the motor kbd. I believe the issue is in the kbd software not the tp.

I called Motorola and Logitech (I have both keyboards and have the same issue with both) about the popup boxes. Both companies told me that it is a function of the operating system and is not hard coded into the keyboards. They said we should look into a software solution as the keyboard does not have the accent popup feature. Maybe this is a thing for the devs.

I just noticed you get a accent box popup when long pressing the on screen keyboard.
There has to be some way to change this.
thabksssssss
I installed the Go Keyboard app and no longer get the accent box popup.
I just wish there was an app that would get rid of it. Or someone figure out how change the setting in Android.
I like using the BT KB with null keyboard. Which has no onscreen keyboard.
When using a BT KB with go keyboard, holding the shift does not capitalize letters. You have to tap the shift key once to capitalize. You can't hold it. I emailed the authors to try to get them to fix that.
I tried a few other addon keyboards and they all have that stupid popup.
My wife's android phone with a physicial keyboard phone gets the same accent popup.
The BlueInput soft doesn't have that problem.
I think you needed to pair the keyboard with their software and not with the buildit android one, but after that it doesn't show the annoying pop when long press on the keyboard keys.
I use it with one of those mini BT keyboards and works fine.

YES! This works properly! Thx a LOT!
BlueInput doesn't work reliably. Mouse would not work with it. Uninstalled.
8(
Only tried with the crappy keyboard, but good to know that it doesn't pick the mouse.
I'm guessing the batteries in my mouse were almost dead. Even without Blueinput installed, mouse would not stay connected. I'v only had this mouse since Saturday. It came with Everready Energizers. This Motorolla mouse has an indicator that is supposed to flash orange when the batts are low, it didn't. So I thought they were still good.
After reading some reviews on some BT mice, some said the batts died really fast. So I installed some fresh duracell's today and mouse is working fine. I'll keep the switch off when not using it this time.
So I reinstalled Blueinput and just connected the KB through it. Left the mouse connected through android. I'm pretty sure the mouse would work through Blueint now with the fresh batts.
Just got myself a new BT keyboard with an integrated mouse, as you said, when paring/connecting using the BlueInput driver the mouse doesn't work which kind of sucks 8)
I found some another driver does appear to work fine (at least it allows me to use both the keyboard and mouse at the same time without the annoying "accent" popup window.

Still need to test a play a little bit more (see which layout fits my keyboard) but I think is more usable with this driver than the original/build-in CM7 one.

Works well. I have seen this before. Not sure why I didn't try it. Maybe I thought it was Japanese only. IDK. Tried so many.
Are you getting this when clicking on an iput box?
The setting of "selected keyboard" is not found.
It still works everytime. Just weird.
Oh I figured out that error. I had to actually select the kb in Bluekeyboard JP settings. I didn't select it before. I could see it there. I though it was already selected. It wasn't.
Another thing I noticed. When you select your BT KB in "Connecting process" in Bluekeyboard JP settings, everytime you click on an input box, there is a message box saying "connecting.. don't touch the keyboard yet". The KB still worked while that message was displayed.
I got rid of that by unchecking "Connecting process" in settings.
So now it works with no message boxes.
Blueinput JP FC's on every boot...
I normally use Hacker's Keyboard and change to the BT one when I connect the extenal keyboard,
just done a quick reboot and no FCs.
Still I think is good enough for me, I read somewhere than since Android 3.1 the keyboard is handled a litlle diferente (no more bin files for each keyboard, just plain text) so maybe whenever ICS is out we can have a better option 8) (xmast wish hehe)
Bluekeyboard JP works perfectly on CM9! No more FC's. Reconnects nicely.
I mistakenly called it Blueinput JP a couple of posts above.
