Annoying issue with swype keyboard - HTC EVO 3D

It seemd to be random, and multiple soft resets and battery pulls only sometimes fixes it but randomly my trace on swype doesn't show and when you hit the symbol key it does switch to symbol input, however the keyboard image doesn't change, ie the key still looks like an "m" but pressing it gives you a "?" , it wont go away untill several restarts and battery pulls... Any ideas

I have the same issue.

I fix the issue by switching input method back to touch input and then back to swype. It's annoying, but better than a soft reset or battery pull.

I'm having the same issue and neither a soft/hard/or input method swap fix it. Stupid Swype

I am also having the same problem and this is really annoying.

yeah changing it to normal input, then back to swype is the workaround for now. I noticed I lost my trace when the phone went into power saver mode

i have the same problem
i do the input thing also

I have an issue similar to where certain keys act funny like when i click on cap lock it doesnt work until i switch input method then switch back to swype. I could give 2 terds about this keyboard. Im only using it because theres no gingerbread keyboard.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!

Is there a reason people choose to use swipe over the HTC "trace" program?

Trace is not as responsive as swype....it still needs work.

On mine it ended up being after i do anything in 3d, a vid, pic anything.. AS soon as i engage 3d it screws up the inlays of just swype...dont know how to fix it but i know the trigger

screw swype, I use ultrakeyboard, tis awesomesauce

I had this problem as well but after I temp-rooted using Eugene's script and did the Swype 3.0 beta install using arielb27's guide found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164100 the problem doesn't seem to occur anymore.

You are correct, this is the only way to work around the issue. I've followed the process for installing the Swype 3 Beta and it works alot better, I've not ran into this issue since the change.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164100
I've ran it for a couple days, and several reboots, still works great.

I found that switching the input method back to the stock keyboard and then back to swype fixed this issue when it occurs.

Have you tried downloading any other keyboards if you are using default keyboard? May I suggest using Better Keyboard which is very customizable and from my experience, all keyboards sorta lag on the x10 =_= .

Touchscreen help

I've noticed that recently my keyboard would be having problems typing the "a and w" and if it does work it will type crazy... Than I noticed that its not just that but that whole left side don't respond when pressed. Sanything would help I'm just hoping its not the softesare where I have to replace it again for this issue now.

Are you running stock rom? Are you using the default keyboard?

You could try downloading another keyboard from the market and see if those work
Well i am rooted but on 3.0... And its not just the keyboard but aslso on the home screens nothing on the left will work unless pressed wired or really hard. I've tried salso calibration and I know its not the ROM cuz its been doing this even before flashing.

[Q] Lockscreen Frozen

I am running BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 (Imo's leanKernel running at Extreme with MR2), and I use WidgetLocker. Quite often, I will go to unlock my touch screen and my touching capabilities are not working - I can slide my slider, or do anything. I can hold down the power button to come up with the shutdown/restart options, but I cannot touch them to make it work. Sometimes if I wait a while it works again, or if I get another message/e-mail, but one time I had to pull the battery! I am not sure if this is a known issue or if maybe this is something with WidgetLocker, but does anyone know what I can do to fix this or have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - anyone else have this problem? Is it WidgetLocker, and maybe I need to make it no longer use RootHelper or something? When this happens (it currently is), only the power button works - all others do no effect, although they make a vibrate noise when pressed as if there are. After 10 minutes it will work again...)
Just a thought... Bump your min cpu setting to 368 and see if that helps.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Thanks, I did not think of that - I will change from Extreme to Normal (since Extreme undervolts it) and I will give that a try. Any other suggestions in case that does not work?
That's all I know man. I bet its a setting issue on the kernel.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You could always try switching to dream kernel 2.3.0 or 2.3.2, which are updated versions of the sense 3.0 stock kernel from das bamf. But I'm guessing that your min cpu setting is too low, especially if its undervolted. I have lag setting it to 245/368 with screen off, but its just laggy.
I tried changing settings on Imo's kernel, still no avail. His kernel gives me great battery life so I am trying to not switch to a different one; I was looking in Das BAMF toolkit and originally I had Sense Lock Screen off, which is when the lock screen froze, and when I turned it back on, I still had the lock screen froze but now sometimes the Sense one came into view, frozen. And by frozen, I mean the touch screen doesn't work - I can wake on with the volume keys and power button, but none of the bottom buttons work too. I am baffled... What could cause this?

No idea, but the easiest solution is likely to wipe and flash again. For other lockscreen issues this has been the most successful solution.

Yeah, I was thinking about this... Considering I have Bamf 3.0 RC3, might just wipe and get RC4. I will let you guys know how I make out! Thanks for the suggestions!
Off topic question though... How do I edit the Swype dictionary?

Don't forget to check out the preview of the rc5. It can be found on teambamf dot net. It is like rc4 but is very nice, especially with the new radio.

And as for swype, I think in options, by hitting that button on bottom right or through settings, there's a way to reset or tell it to not remember, but no way to edit I don't believe. There's a way to get it to ignore some words but its been so long I've forgotten.

[Q] Screen unresponsive like evo

I have had the 3vo since monday and on two occasions the screen became unresponsive. While stuck in that condition the 2nd time I noticed the bottom half of the screen was indeed responsive. i navigated that way until the issue disappeared on its own. I then became concerned enough to search out if anyone else was having similar issues. I ran across this while searching for the official htc forum. Basically the EVO 4G and the incredible had the SAME ISSUE.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/3264.aspx
I have searched htc's site and xda and haven't seen anyone else reporting the same issue on the 3vo. I then called htc support and of course they weren't "aware of the problem on any of those phones".
So I'm thinking of calling it a factory defect and returning the phone for a replacement. Anyone with more info to add?
Edit:
Found this as well.

I can also confirm this. Lasted about a minute. Noticed it after I plugged my headphones in.

It has happened twice to me while trying to search my concact list. I just backed out and opened people again and it worked fine.
What were you running when it was unresponsive?
I believe I was in the launcher. Also, phone was in my hands.
Had the happen 1st time ever tonight. And it was the same...the bottom half was responding and buttons but not the rest of the screen. Can't recall which apps I had open. No headphones though.

Uh oh...... I hope it's a small batch.
It has happened to me too a few time. Usually when i select kill all under task manager.
I've had it happen once or twice, I think both times I was opening a forum thread with lots of embedded images ie a show your screenshot thread.

Mine did it tonight for the first time. A reboot fixed it.

I have seen this as well a few times
The phone thinks that the notification menu is "dragged" down and it keeps you from tapping any icons or flipping through the screens.
To solve it without rebooting just pull down the notification menu and slide it back up and everything works fine again.
Definately a bug with Sense 3.0

DEFINITELY not what I saw. I was able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
It has randomly happened here too.
Ok i thought I was just crazy, but I have been having the same issue. It has gotten better and haven't had it happen in a while but It's a pain when it does.

You aren't able to click on any of the icons that the "pull down" notification menu would be blocking until you "repull" down the notification menu and slide it back up.
I was just offering how I was able to "workaround" the issue on my phone.
If this doesn't work for you, fine.. I was just trying to help with the experiences I have had.

Sorry. No animosity intended.
Same here..
Able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
And also the back button (capacitive button) is not bright enough as others (Home, Menu, Search).
Already sent to HTC for the screen replacement, but have to wait till next week because the screen no stock..
- Reboot the phone does fix the problem, but it will happen again & again..
- Already performed hard reset as requested by HTC cust service rep, but same thing happened within 24 hours, in clear system.
Unrooted EVO 3D..
I also experience touch screen problems, i just turn the screen off and back on and it works again for a short period of time.

Vistual Joystick not functioning properly

Hello guys, it seems I am having issues with the multi touch function of the screen, when I play games and use the joystick it works fine until I press another button.Then it reverses back to the neutral position....
So basically.. it doesn't accept to inputs at the same time.
The same thing happens while texting, If I hold down the CAPS button while typing it will not capitalize what I type(as it should), I have to hit the caps after every letter.
This happens with both energy and xborders roms, and their respective kernels, when I reflash the kernel, it seems to fix the problem temporarily but then it breaks again...
I am at a loss??? what do u guys think?
166 views and no reply :-(
kamehame-BUMP
Fixed it... apparently Go Launcher breaks my multi touch screen feature... wierd.. after all this troubleshooting all I had to do was unistall that
siigh..
maybe this will help someone else
Actually Go Locker or any lockscreen replacement causes problems with multi-touch feedback . Did you have that installed ?
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
yea thats what I meant to say... Go locker was causing the problem... I switched to magic locker and it seemed ok for a while but then it started doing the same thing...
I wish there was a way to replace the sense ring without multi touch issues
Hell yea . I downloaded like 40 go locker themes . Come to find out all my games were broken . It took me soo long to figure out the problem . Oh well . Still waiting on ICS.

I can confirm this issue too.
I had widgetlocker installed forever. I had thought the phone was just a bit unresponsive until I loaded up zenonia 4 and the controls didn't work at all.
I found this thread and uninstalled widgetlocker. This fixed the issue right up. Still a bummer though.
