I have a nasty problem. driving me NUTS and now I figured it out (but not a solution)
I would be typing away on my note II and BAM bunch of too fast to see menu's and I am somewhere else or something else happens. SO annoying.
I FINALLY figured out WHY its happening
the edges of my palms (thumb joint on my hand) are "PRESSING" into the corner of the screen when I type randomly
so my left hand would touch the "menu" capacitive button (this is why I love hard buttons) and I tap the keys so fast that the menu appears and before I even notice it I had tapped the screen 2 or 3 more times taping random menu options etc..
or worse my right hand touch the back button and POOF on a different screen OR the keyboard goes away and I tap a "link" that was under where the keyboard was etc..
SO anyway to fix this? app hack mod to keep this from happening?
maybe make it so I have to multi tap those keys (IF the keyboard is on screen) within a certain time span for it to register?
so 2 or 3 rapid "taps" otherwise it ignores those 2 buttons being pressed (but only when the keyboard is open) ??
thanks!

Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Now that several of us have keyboards attached to our gtablets, I thought it mught be useful to share a list of which keys do what. I've discovered that HOME does take you home and that ESC seems to be the back key. Others?
With mine, the End button puts the tablet in Sleep mode. Pretty cool.
Some more keys
I picked up a Gearhead KB1500U usb keyboard at Frys for $7.95. It's pretty nice, metal back, regular keys although slightly cramped netbookish layout. Its about an inch longer then the G, and about 1.5inches narrower. Playing around while typing this up I get the following:
ESC is back
Backspace works normally but delete does nothing
Windows key is preferences/menu as is F1
Home is Home (but I cant hold to bring up all running apps, and I get a weird minus sign when I try)
Application Key brings up recent pages and search choices if pressed again (at least in Firefox4)
End is sleep and wakes it back up, also F3 and F4
Space bar moves down one page in Firefox, but PgUp and PgDn do nothing (again in Firefox)
Alt-Right or Left arrow blanks the screen (it just goes black but is still back-lit) do it again and it returns, this happens instantaneously, no delay like Home
Very pleased with the new phone but I've had the home screen freeze on me twice in the same horrible way.
While swiping the lock screen away, it will stick covering about a 1/4 of the screen - then the screen completely locks. After a while a partially hidden alert box comes up with some warning about the Activity TwLauncher not responding and you can see the close/wait buttons, but you cannot press them. Pressing the sleep button blanks the screen, but it displays the same mess when the home button is pressed.
The OS underneath still seems to be running, because if I call the phone, the dialer appears and I can take a call - just that after ending the call, the screen goes back to the frozen home screen with the half hidden alert box under a partial lock screen.
Even holding the power button down will not pop up the dialogue box for power off - so the only way I've found to recover is to pull the battery.
Has anyone else encountered this bug - couldnt find anything similar using the forum search tool - or a quick google.
I did recently update to KE7.
Hi
I have a problem with my XP; suddenly my softkeys have become a lot less responsive. It's the menu key in particular; the back key is the most responsive (a slight tap will do), the home key is ok but you need to press a bit harder and with the whole thumb and not just the fingertip) while I have to repeatedly hit the menu key for it to work. I did go for a run with my phone in my hand, after which I wiped the phone with a damp tissue, so I don't know if that was the perspiration or the water or whatever that affected the softkeys. I am aware that I can get softkeys through rooting but if I can't solve this I want to send it back to the shop so I don't want to root just yet.
Its always good if u just slide ur finger a bit instead of just touching them on soft keys.....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for your reply but that doesn't work for me for the Menu key. It's even worse than before now
PS if it's any significance the menu key doesn't light up as brightly as the others.
Hi guys,
I notice that when I have the new navigation gestures (instead of the classic 3 buttons) the bottom part of swiftkey where the key "enter" is or any other button in the vicinity (like netflix the settings button) can't be touched easily.
I have to move my finger just a bit off to make it happen. Is it just me or everybody has the same issue?
Yes, that's right. As a workaround, I enabled the directional keys (on SwiftKey) below the keyboard to raise it up slightly. Works quite well.. Hope that helps.
