some times when i type on gtalk the cursor stays on the first character as i continue to type and the new letters do not appear in the input box..
to me it feels like a memory issue. you clear the chat and wait 5 mins and everything is fine.
anyone else seeing that happen?

This is the third one I've gotten with the same problem.
I've read through 11 pages of the forum and did a search but no one seems to have my problem.. however everyone I know who has a Sprint Touch Pro has the same issue.
I get a text, I tap the notification on the bottom Touch FLO 3D screen (the text icon with the yellow circle w/ # of txts that are new.)
I view the message.
I tap MENU at the bottom right. I tap reply. Slide open the keyboard, and begin typing the reply and the minute I type any key (sometimes specifically "R") it automatically flips to the call history screen and uses the last letter I typed to find related calls in my call log starting with the letter.
The same also applies if I press "NEW" on the TF3D screen and slide the keyboard open.
It takes whatever I message I was typing and throws it into drafts - which is now full of messages from all the attempts I've made to text and puts me into call history.
I called HTC about this - one person admitted to knowing about the problem but they said there is no fix - the next time I called they knew nothing about it.
This is just one of several issues I have with this phone. There MUST be a fix for this somewhere on here... HELP! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!

The reason this is happening is simple. When you open the keyboard the cursor is not in the text box where you are going to type. So the moment you hit a key it starts to look up calls matching those letters. So to avoid this just tap into the text box then start typing. I don't know if there is a permanent fix for this so you don't have to tap in the text box.
The reason all of those messages are going into the drafts is really quite simple as well. Windows mobile saves your messages, text or email, which you are creating so that if the screen switches, i.e. a call comes through etc. you don't loose everything you have just typed.
If you do #1 you shouldn't have issues with #2.
Thanks for the reply - but it's not that simple. Half the time the cursor IS in the text box, it allows me to begin typing a message (reply or new) - however half way through the text (maybe the third word in) it throws my message into drafts and begins pulling up items in my call history or contacts.
I've tried "tapping the text box" to place the cursor - that didn't work either. Still does the same thing.
I miss my Mogul.. it never did this. If this can't get fixed I'm moving to the Palm Pre LOL.
I have this same problem
I have this problem too.
It is most annoying to be halfway through a txt or email and suddenly have it start searching through the contacts.
It isn't an issue of the cursor being in the wrong place. It just starts doing it randomly. I did notice less of a problem with it when I flashed a new ROM
My Fuze did this (as does my brother's Touch Pro) all the damn time. When I updated my phone it stopped. I think my brother's Touch Pro still does it quite frequently.
It's is EXTREMELY obnoxious. I tried contacting HTC directly, but they were not helpful. I was able to send probably 1 out of 3 messages without being interrupted.
When writing a text message the 'Write message' area takes up the whole screen so you cannot see older text messages above the input area. Does anybody know how to reduce the size of the input area?
I have come from blackberry and find this one little niggle thats really quite annoying, not being able to see the text i am replying to whilst typing
Thanks
You minimize the keyboard by the button on the bottom-left. Then you can read messages again, and when you want to write, just tap input area again.
Hope this helps
or buy a phone with a bigger screen ;-)
But tje best thing to do is minimize the keyboard
It is because the send button appear when you enter the message, the button enlarged the input box. This is stupid design, so i use another SMS apps.
Not sure how long this has been happening for, probably since I got my S3 actually, or when Swype released the last update.
I've installed Swype Beta, currently on version 1.0.3.5809 but it's not working correctly.
When I enter a word wrong (or rather when Swype doesn't guess the word I tried to enter) and carry on, I used to be able to tap the incorrect word later, tap the Swype key, and then the word would be highlighted for me to either swipe again or type in a correction.
This no longer happens all the time - about 50% of the time instead of highlighting the word it just jumps to the left hand side of the word. This means I then have to move the cursor back to the right hand side of the incorrrect word myself, delete it and type again.
This is extremely annoying. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hi
Since upgrading to jellybean ive noticed a small flaw in the search from keyboard.
Basically on ICS if i just tapped away on the keyboard it would automatically bring up the search.
For example without pressing the search button, if I just typed ANDROID, it would appear normally in the search field.
Now with JB if I type ANDROID, the A ends up at the end, it's almost like the cursor skips back. So as soon as I enter the "A" the cursor then shifts left and as I continue typing it ends up like this NDROIDA
It's a real pain, as I loved the keyboard search the way it was, does anyone have anyidea on how to clear this or am i the only person who this seems to effect.
Many thanks

Can anyone confirm they have the same issue ???
Off the screen as I'm typing, not going completely.
Have swiftkey as my usual keyboard but have since tried google keyboard and lollipop123 keyboard but it does the same with those as well.
Basically, I'll be in the middle of typing something mid word/end of word/deleting... doesnt matter, and the keyboard 'closes' down and dissapears. Then re-pressing whichever text box I was in, or pressing an already typed word or anywhere does nothing and I'm waiting upto 20 seconds for the keyboard to pop back back up to carry on typing. Sometimes it doesnt do it at all and sometimes can be 3 times in one twitter comment, to use an example.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Have tried with my keyboards as normal install, a system app AND onto the SD card and nothing makes a difference.
