Portrait keyboard prefers "O" over "P" - HTC EVO 3D

Can someone else confirm this...
When using the portrait (small) keyboard when typing a text message, if I press the "P" button anywhere to the left of center (say the left 30% of the button), I get an "O" instead. It looks like the letter "O" will get pressed if you press anything from the left of the "O" button all the way to almost the middle of the "P" button. To get "P" reliably, I have to press the right half of the "P" button.
Is this by design? Is it supposed to favor "O" over "P"? Or is my tilted/rotated screen causing this?

Mine does it too, only with the O and the P.

me too..................

Some times my delete button registers as L. It happened with multiple keyboards.

Calibrating the Keyboard helps.

Yea always calibrate the keyboard It's helps. At first I was typing everything off and since It's been nearly perfect.

Perhaps the guy has big hands. But calibrating does do wonders,try it and let us know your results

I tried calibrating a half dozen times. It does help a tiny bit but not much: I still get a "preferred O". Plus: calibration only works for the stock keyboard and I prefer the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market.
Mike

Calibrating completely fixed it for me.

Yeah that fouled up Gingerbread Keyboard...meh.
LOL j/k
The Stock we have is just a refined/skinned version of it.

Everyone else has mentioned it, but I will too.
I've always calibrated the keyboard with a new phone or new ROM. The only disadvantage is when someone else uses it. My wife hates trying to type anything on it.

It does but I don't like the feature I always disable it on any keyboard..
Had a ton of issues with the last beta and ended up going back to the standard Swiftkey. Got an email earlier, I'll have to give this one a try.

I'm still trying it out .. I'm not really interested in the facebook,gmail,etc.. learning setting..so I been using it as I always have so far I haven't had an issue yet I noticed a bit of improvement with voice to txt ..
Just downloaded it and have noticed it is alot better than the previous beta. Although I have noticed a few bugs, sometimes when I hit the space bar it goes backwards. It also auto creates a word after using punctuation. That
may be because I have set to rapid.

Minor keyboard issue
I LOVE SwiftKey! This beta has been working fairly smoothly since download, but whenever I use my hard keyboard (Evo Shift) the "!" doesn't work. I end up with a "?" whether I use the function key to select it or not. Weird. The other thing I noticed is that when I use the back key in some apps, it doesn't take me to the previous screen, I'm stuck with the prediction bar.
It's still functional enough for me to continue using it without reverting back to the paid version. Did I mention that I LOVE SwiftKey??

Touch screen glitches CM9

So been using turl1 v8 Lang for pics and been getting a weird glitch where the touch screen will have false inputs at the top of the screen I've looked At it with the pointer location on add appears to only affect the top 1/4.
I wasn't sure if this is really related to turl1's build because I thought I read somewhere that there is a partition on your phone that causes this from a bad flash
Any ideas?

I'm on turl's v8 and also having similar problems with the touchscreen but it doesn't do it very often. Mine does it very rarely but I can tell when it does it.
yeah same here started with turl1 v8, and if I turn on pointer location about half the time there will be 5 phantom pointers at the top of my screen going crazy
bump again, having similar issues with my screen, except its mostly the bottom portion where the keyboard is so i cant type vey well without it pressing the wrong letters
Same here but on top quater of the screen. Running nottachtrix 1.3.1. Flashed and wiped a lot but cant say for sure when it started.

€dit: i used a thin guitar plectrum to lift up the digitizer just a tiny bit. Now everything is working fine again.

where is the period button?

Well i know where it is. It's in the number/signs button in the left corner. But it used to be next to space on arc. I mean it's a key you use all the time when you text. First ss is from a text message. Second ss is from the browser where the keyboard is deffrent and the period button is next to space. Theird ss is from some settings where the period is also there. And the keyboard is abit deffrent again.
So my question is. Is this the same on your devices? Or did i miss something? Can i change the look of the keyboard in mail and sms. Without downloading a completly new keyboard.

Hi,
I'm guessing you also have a Danish phone? I'm not sure as to why it isn't displaying an period, because it do so by default on my phone.
Try calling Sony's Xperia support on 70203603. If you didn't get any SmartTags, you'll also be able to get them for free here.
Is normal, can't really do anything about it...
The best way to enter a period is to either press space and select it from the autocomplete bar, or just press space twice.
Another method is to use the character pane. You can now tap, drag to a symbol and then release to enter symbols with one tap/swipe.

Yes it's a danish phone. I just called the number. And he told me the most easy way was to hit space twice after you finished a sentence. Then it make a dot and a space so your ready for the next sentence.
I told him about that i didn't got any NFC tags. So i just gave him the IMEI number and he will send me 4 tags in the mail for free.
So you deserve a Thanks

It's a hardware problem, you will have to RMA. There are plenty of threads about this in Q&A.

Open your camera program. See bad green screen or something unrecognizable. Open Options. Change quality to 3 Mps. Change sides to 16/9. Turn focus to "far away" (not auto). Press by your finger to back camera with some power for 5-7 seconds. Move finger away. If it's - have a fun! If it's not - press again. Open Options. Change quality and sides back for your pleasure. When you make photos you can turn on "Auto focus", but when you turn off camera program you should change in options focus to "far away" (not auto). I hope it will be fixed in Andriod 4.0.4.

Is there a keyboard for Android that supports bottom margin/padding?

I'm really happy with my Poco F1 so far, but I've been stuck with a little dilemma.
I prefer using the gestures, they're very neat. However, disabling the on-screen buttons to enable gestures causes the keyboard to get jammed all the way down to the bottom of the screen:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have pretty huge hands and therefore it's extremely uncomfortable for me to type like this. I feel like my thumb is going to cramp up every time I need to hit the space bar.
Until now my solution has been to use SwiftKey in floating mode. That lets me raise the keyboard for more comfortable typing. But it causes a lot of other issues, since apps are unaware of how to handle the floating keyboard, I might end up typing behind the keyboard, also action buttons like "Post" and "Delete" will sometimes be hidden behind the keyboard.
I've tried things like raising the key height in Gboard and Swiftkey, but it doesn't help the extremely low bottom row. I'm looking for a keyboard that's capable of something similar to what the iPhone X(s) does. But I haven't yet managed to find any such keyboard for Android:
If anyone knows of a keyboard like this, I'd be very grateful.
The horrible typing experience is the only real gripe I have with the Poco F1 at the moment.
(And also the MIUI bugs, but hopefully MIUI 10 will help with those once it actually lands)
Try Smart Keyboard.

Thank you, this works quite well. I gave the trial a run for 10 minutes and bought the pro version.
It seems the app isn't that actively updated, but enabling the arrow row on the bottom and the padding makes for a far more comfortable typing experience than Gboard or SwiftKey.
Hopefully more updates land in the future, seems to have been about a year since the last one.
I'm using this
