Not sure what causes it, anything other than Stock SBF causes my DX2 to switch the mapping of Home and Back Button... Its kind of pissing me off.
Any suggestions/ideas?
I tried ButtonRemapper but it doesn't work for our phone.
Currently on 2.3.4 with Eclipse 1.0 Rom.
Tried many flashes - Occurs on:
Stock 2.3.3 SBF
Rooted 2.3.3
Stock 2.3.2 + P3Droids' 2.3.3 Root
Stock 2.3.4 SBF
Occurs with or without Eclipse.
Occurs with Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes before installs after installs etc.
I found the keyboard layout folder but I don't really know what I am doing thought I would ask for some guidance for our specific phone. Maybe someone else has had this issue and solved easily?
Thanks, RC
It might just be the phone. I've never heard of this issue. You say you have it on all versions? That's odd.
DX2 Eclipse 1.0
the hardkeys on the X2 nearly sent me in another direction for a phone (yes, I hate the clicking THAT much!).
And I dunno if it'll do a damn thing, but have u tried anything like Button Savior or the like to by pass those keys?...i love that damn app X )

You also can try zmooth or zmooth light. Another option to button savior, and I find it is out of the way and easy to use.

Yeah all versions but stock, it sucks.
Tried the apps guys, but no success.
Anybody know about editing .KL files on the Dx2?

I was using the app SGS Tools from the market and tinkering around. I started using some of the system key codes to check out a few things. I ended up selecting the key code for "Touchscreen Firmware" and decided to upgrade the firmware because it sounded good. It gives you 2 options, you can upgrade the touchscreen firmware and the backlit touchscreen buttons. The normal touchscreen upgrade went okay, but when I attempted to upgrade the button firmware it said that it was successful and now only the Home key and the Back key light up and no keys work at all. Is it even possible to fix this??? I used ODIN to go back to stock, then i ODIN'd to the JK2 Froyo. No luck with either. Any help would be very much appreciated! I will search some more about this in the meantime.
That code should really be removed from sgs tools

I have the same problem but can't seem to fix it. Anyone know how??
Also I have the same problem. Can someone please help, been over a week now trying new ROM's.
Please help!!!!!
SGS tools is dangerous for noobs and semi-noobs alike!
I hate reading through these posts. I flashed Darky's ROM which comes with sgs tools and so, like anyone, when I saw upgrade touchscreen firmware, I did just that and lost all access to my soft keys. I usually can troubleshoot any problems I have but this one beat me. I am now without a phone. I realize that you should never mess around with commands and functions that you don't understand but the developer seems to say that the app doesn't allow you to accidentally mess anything up but her we are.
So last night I was trying to find the buttons in the dark and realized that there was probably an app in the market that had virtual button interface. I found Button Savior and attempted to download it. Everytime I tried to dl it, it failed. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a cure?

If you are using BoS I have had this issue. It needs a reinstall and data wipe to fix it. roebeet has stated to use Flashback as he has job things right now and will not be updating BoS as much. I am using Flashback as my HC rom and it works great!
didn't say which rom did I
I'm sorry I didn't say which ROM I was using. I'm running C/CV6.
Nope don't have this problem.
Since updating to Gingerbread I've been randomly having to restart my phone because it will stop taking input from the keyboard. You'll see words suggested to auto-correct but nothing will actually type in the box. As soon as I reboot this is resolved, but it occurs 3 - 5 times a day.
Ideas?

I too have the same issue with the OTA. Tried these steps to no avail...
1. Reflashed Stock 2.3.4
2. Flashed Pudding and Unlocked.
3. Flashed a new ROM Alien
4. Installed SwiftKey (Keyboard) too
None of these have worked. I actually ran clean with NO APPS for 24 hours and gave up email and only used the stock text app and had the same thing happen. So I am stumped.
But the plus in all this I ended up running the Alien ROM and its blazing compared to the stock. But I typically have to pull the battery daily for the dang keyboard.
It really is weird how the prediction works so I can type a whole sentence but its not visable.
I hope you can get a suggestion.
It appears to be an issue with the process itself android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If I could find a way to just restart that process I think I can at least mitigate the problem enough to not require a restart every time.

So are you saying the problem would go away using another Keyboard say SWYPE and possibly freezing the multitouchkeyboard process?
We're not alone
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/gingerbread-development-hacking/24275-installed-gingerbread-now-keyboard-randomly-stops-working-device-lags.html
So it appears to be an issue with Gingerbread build? That's great news
I hated the stock keyboard from the very first moment I got the Atrix. Shopped around for quite awhile before finding the ideal keyboard replacement, which for me was Smart Keyboard. I set it to the HTC skin, and it's the best keyboard I've ever worked with on a touchscreen.
No problems at all like what's been described here.
I'll give that a try. For me it doesn't matter which keyboard I've selected I still seem to get this issue. Currently using perfect keyboard free and it occurs on this as well.

If that's true, I would recommend a factory reset. I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and installing a fruitcake build might help.
Earthdog, do you happen to have an SD card installed on your Atrix? I some how was able to recover the keyboard on mine without restarting by clearing the cache on the keyboard process.

eosophobia: I do have an SD Card installed. I will try clearing the cache next time and see if that helps.
edit: I just tried and no go still have to reboot. I have the behavior on the following keyboards: Swift VIP, (stock) Multi Touch, Gingerbread Keyboard (from Market) and Swype...
I'm having this issue as well, but I'm not on gingerbread yet. I'm rooted with gladiatrix and vivid lime installed, version 2.2.2 android. Weird thing is it started when the gingerbread ota came out. Any ideas?

I still have no idea. Some days I have a reboot once and other it happens 5 or 6 times. What Keyboard are you using?
I did discover a new mystery to the issue. If you type something in an app when the keyboard does not seem to work and lock the phone and unlock it the text is then visible.
Odd
um , im pretty sure you could just def get a another keyboard like better keyboard or swift or ect . you can download those in the app market and change the input on them . If that doesn't work then you could use a fruit cake to go back to stock . hope that works

Well if you read the complete thread you will see that other keyboards have been used. Swype, Multi Touch, Swift and Gingerbread ALL have the same behavior.

Stock Motoblur and Swype do it for me. Haven't tries others as it's reported they all do it. I have no clue why it'd start all of a sudden.

Glad I found this thread. This has occurred on two phones now (atrix)
Also the clock in notifications freezes and CPU maxes the frequency. It gets really hot until it reboots itself or I reboot. I have been trying to fix this bug for a couple months now. Had anyone reported it?
It may have gotten this nailed down.
If you are having this issue do you have a SD Card installed? If so what brand and size.
After removing the SD Card and powering on does the issue go away?

16 g class 10 patriot (webtop2sd installed)
It's hard to know for sure because it is not easily reproducible. I will run with no sd and see if it happens 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.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
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.
Hi,
I have been using Neutrino 3.02 with Faux Kernel for some time now. The problem I have been facing from the beginning is, often after the call ends, the phone goes into a freeze mode when no buttons work and the red led is lit. When this situation occurs, the system completely freezes and whether I press button, power or any combination - it simply refuses to to get back online from freeze mode.
I have to manually pull the battery to solve it. Anyone having the same problem? It doesn't happen all the time but happens often. I couldn't figure any probable reason for this issue.
Note: This does not happen on 3.xxx kernel on Epinters CM10.1. Neither it happened on stock blur ROM. happens with CM7 based roms.
Tried MROM's kernel but it happens there more often than faux's

REALLY strange. I used cm7 for nearly a year (pure cm7 downloaded straigt from cm's site, not the ones on this forums) and I hadn't faced a single issue, with nothing at all... Try to switch to a different kernel, either stock or mrom ones and see what happens.
You could also capture a logcat via adb while trying to reproduce the error and see what it logs
I am not using stock CM7. I'm using Neutrino.. Can that be a problem? Any one had this issue before?

This information might be helpful. Sometimes it comes back from freeze mode if I keep pressing random keys. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't and stuck at black screen with red led. Can it be something like that when I end the call the phone is still thinking I'm talking and hangs.
I cannot read logs. Uploading to dropbox.. See if you can understand something

that was taken from the phone after a reboot? if so, it isn't much of a help, since it appears to clear log on each boot.
From what I can see, a theme is not properly created and fails to replace something. not a big deal.
Also, facebook app tries to get way too much permissions and gets denied. The one strange error is with lucky patcher. did you use it to patch android core? if so, there might be the problem

No.. I survived a freeze (random button pressing and then came back to life) and took the logcat.
#Reverted to stock CM7.2 (Stable - directly downloaded from download.cyanogenmod.org)
#Lucky Patcher can be the issue. But I think it's not. I used this to patch poweramp on CM10.1 too. There it didn't cause any problem. (I didn't do anything other than patching poweramp)
Reverted to stock CM7 with stock kernel. Let me see the bug repeats or not. BTW can you tell me which thin font was used in Neutrino 3.02? I kinda liked that font!

Honestly, I haven't used neutrino for more than 5 minutes, didn't like the look and feel of it and went back to cm7
Neutrino is great because of its lightness. It just flies! And if you are a fan of minimalistic look, Neutrino will please you surely!
