I don't know how else to explain it. I honestly think my screen calibration is off in some fashion with regards to keyboard input. I've tried changing the keyboards and I continue to miss letters left and right.
I figured with a larger screen that this would be much less of an issue but (not exaggerating) 50% of the time I go to key in a letter above the spacebar, it registers the space instead of the respective letter. I also have issues with hitting the return symbol when trying to backspace.
I hate to admit it but I never had anywhere close to these kinds of problems on iOS. I refuse to go back to that platform but I SMS way too much and this might be the factor that sends me back. Voice works pretty well but I much prefer to type.
Any suggestions?
Try swype.

Yeah I've tried Swype a bit and not really a fan. I type too many abbreviations and it still requires you to initially tap on the first letter which is where the problems I'm having occur.

Are you using the Samsung keyboard? If so I would download the gingerbread keyboard from the market and that should fix your problem. When I use the Samsung Keyboard for a lack of a better word I feel like a retard I can't spell or anything.

Yes I have the same problem with the Android keyboard. I am still not sure if it is a bug or if I have to become used to it. It doesn't happen all the time.

I noticed that the android keyboard does have this problem but the samsung keyboard does not.
Yes but the Samsung keys are larger that could be a reason.

Ill chime in and say Ive got the same issues as well.
Im gonna try the Samsung keyboard instead for a while.

Thanks all, I'll give the Samsung kb another go. Glad at least to see that I'm not the only one having this challenge...
The thing I don't like about the Samsung keyboard is the bar that keeps popping up and going away, making the screen size change. I also really like being able go tap a ? without having to press the alt key. I'm going to try the Gingerbread keyboard in the market, it worked great ln froyo. Now that I know I am not fat fingering everything.

I must have tested a dozen different keyboards not only with this new SGS2
phone but on my two previous phones (Captivate and Infuse) and I have
found that nothing is as good as the Samsung Keyboard unless someone
happens to be a wizkid or someone has fingers as thin as a pencil.
For average people there is nothing as good as the stock samsung keyboard.
One of the reasons for this is that the size of the letters on the samsung
keyboard are noticabley larger.
Another reason is that when you use those keyboards from the market
they all have a slight but noticable delay when pressing the keys.
I loaded gingerbread keyboard from the market. Yes, its basically the same as the android keyboard, but performance has been much better for me.

There is another issue with the android keyboard when you have 2 input languages installed. It switches by itself the input language without a swipe of the spacebar.

I have issues to. I have tried the stock android, Samsung, gingerbread, touchpal, swiftkey, and perfect. They all suffer from the same issues. HTC has a calibration app I was hoping to find here. Anybody? Oh and i hate swype.

Yeah, after a few text messages I finally no longer feel I am insane, the one on the market has zero lag, and presses the keys I expect it to.

It works perfect on the MoPho...I actually prefer the stock multi touch keyboard as the letters are bigger and I have sausage fingers...but it displays no smaller than most other keyboards.

I've been running it the past couple days and it works good. The keys are the same exact size as the gingerbread keyboard I was using.
Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.
I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.
It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)

I don't know why it does it but same thing happens here mate. So hopefully its the same for all.

Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. Happy to know it's common.
By the way it's nice to see some fellow Evo/Hero guys in here. I recognize Leukay and Tailsthecat from one of those 2 forums. Don't know you guys personally but nice to see you in here. Actually I think I recognize Rydah803 and Ducky1131 too so good to see you all here.

I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.
It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.
Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.

I got it too and my phone is a recently assembled device on one of the latest h boot builds. Doubt this will be fixed so i guess we live with it...
Same with me I thought only i have that issue.
Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

Has anybody else noticed quick graphical glitches when typing with the latest version of swiftkey? When rapid typing there is a quick flash glitch on the keyboard. It's not a rom issue as i have seen this happen on both meanrom and tranquility now both running stock kernel.
hrmm, Idk I havent noticed that with swiftkey at all. this has turned into my daily driver keyboard, absolutely love it :good:
I'll be damn, so that's what's causing it. I just got a replacement evo on Friday and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why my screen would glitch like it was(It would only happen when I am typing a text). I was ready to through this phone up against the wall until I read this thread. So I decided to use swype and the HTC keyboard and the glitching stopped. I feel so much better now knowing its not the phone. I also have a gnex but it's not doing it on that phone.

So since I updated my phone to the OTA Jelly Bean, my screen has been less responsive to touch. I use to be able to use the phone with gloves on, now it won't let me... Is there a way yo adjust sensitivity for it cause ics was perfect. Any ideas?
