I am having issues with my screen/calibration. I recently upgraded to to the 2.23 RUU running 4.4.3. For some reason, the screen calibration is horrible. I am having trouble when typing (using Swype). When trying to type it will sometimes close the keyboard, jump letters, even send messages as I'm trying to type. I have the gestures function turned off and have reset calibration defaults as well as cleared the caches.
I'm pretty stumped as to what it could be. Has anyone experienced this? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

ive seen this discussed somewhere else, maybe it was ppcgeeks, but the problem is, i lose text messages when i soft reset.
i dont have much information about it, but if i soft reset soonafter a soft reset, or even an hour or so after a string of text messages, they will sometimes just not be there any more.
anyone have any idea why this is happening, or more importantly how to fix it?
thanks
i would really like some info on this. i cant offer any help other than verifying that it happens to me too. i think it has happened with both sms and mms too actually. i dont like it though
The only way I've been able to save my SMS when I reset is by holding the button to power the phone off rather than using the stylus to reset. Every time I use the reset button I lose info. Power the phone down, then turn it back on. Should help.
Sounds alot like a cache issue.... Sometimes things get put into mem cache and will be saved later when enough has been stored.... I do not know how to adjust it tho.... I'd say that between the 3 of you, there is a common program that you have installed that may be changing the way your messages are stored.... just a theory on my part, cuz I don't have that issue....
Perhaps 1 of you can flash the ROM from the 3.2.0 post and install nothing but your carrier and then send a bunch of SMS messages. Then do a soft reset to see if they stay....!
are you running a cooked rom?
i recall having this on pre 6.1 roms, though you will always risk data loss if you suddenly soft reset your device with the reset button instead of powering it down properly
i have used the same apps on my phone for a while and only started noticing this messaging issue recently. the more i think about it i think it might have started once i started using 6.1 roms. before that i was just on alltels updated stock rom and this didnt happen. but on both no2chems 5069k and now dcd's 3.2 it happens.
so..maybe its a 6.1 issue? maybe a 6.1 cache issue? all of these 6.1 roms we are using are going to have bugs so this is what im guessing.
just read the post directly above mine...... so maybe im wrong.
anyone else offer any suggestions?
This is definitely a cache issue I discovered some time ago, I think even with 6.0. If you use the reset button or pull the battery within an hour or less of doing text messaging you have to shut down Outlook/SMS first so that it will write the cache to the database.
I'm on Verizon.. This has happened to me even with the stock ROM. Not only do new text messages disappear, but if you delete all your text messages.. then reset.. they are all back.
It does appear to be a cache issue. It takes some time before changes are permanent I guess.
This happened to me on Stock with original Arcsoft, Also on DCD ROM 3.1.2, 3.1.6, 3.2.0.. with various Arcsoft versions 5.xx.
I have found no way to change this.. but I haven't checked all the reg keys for a setting that might do this. If I discover one, I'll post back.
I am having issues when I try to text message. Sometimes when I start typing it doesn't input anything into the text box. The keyboard shows that the keys are being pressed but nothing happens. This happens a lot but its nothing that I can reproduce exactly each time. It seems random! I would say it happens about 30%-40% of the time. To fix it I have to reboot or close the messaging program and reopen it several times. Sometimes its fixed the first time and sometimes it takes 5+ times.
I am currently using the stock ROM posted by jcase along with the original kernel. However, this has happened on ALL 3 other ROMs that I have tried as well as 2 other kernels.
Any help would be appreciated!
In case your wondering! Yes, I have always done a FULL wipe when installed my ROMS!
I reverted to stock and am unrooted using the jcase guide. The texting problem is still there! Anyone else having problems?
Hey guys,
I've been having some keyboard issues for a while now and it's really starting to bug me. I'm currently on BAMF 2.1, but I've used various iterations of BAMF and I was even experiencing the same problem on CM7. Whenever I install a new ROM I do a complete wipe 3x and lately I haven't even been restoring data on my apps.
When typing, certain letters just don't work. It's really odd. I can sit there and tap tap tap away, and it may take like 6 taps to get a letter to work. At first I thought it was my screen, but I experience NO issues with the screen anywhere else but typing. The fact that what letters don't work often change (both in landscape AND portrait) also makes me think that it's not the screen.
I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro with a DX skin (had a DX before this and loved the keyboard), but I've even switched to the market version of the GB keyboard and experienced the same problem.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't always happen. I could go half a day with no issues, but then it pops up and it's pretty persistent.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's really starting to become a problem.
I have experienced maybe something similar. Since I flashed gingerbread ( my keyboard sometimes locks up. There's usually a delay of 3 seconds before it picks up. I'm using swift but it has happened on swype and the stock keyboard.
Happens to me, exact same problem but it also happened on my inc so I'm not too worried lol it IS annoying but doesn't last for an extended amount of time

Ugh, this is still happening to me and still being a pain in my ass
I am running bionix nextgen v2, and It was working fine for the first few weeks and now I seem to be getting a problem where I cannot type anything, switching back and forth between the two keyboards does not help. The only thing that temporarily fixes the problem is restarting my phone. I can touch the letters and it will act like im typing it, even giving me word choices, but the word will not show up even if i use voice to text it will not show the words. Does anybody have a permanent fix for this or has had this problem before?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try going into Settings>Applications>Application Management, click on "all" find your keyboards in there and clear data for each one, restart and see if that works.
I have tried what you said but the problem still occurs after some time after restart, also I have tried new keyboards but it seems that the words will not show up anywhere when I type them even for searching the web. And I know the keys are working because it still pops up as if I had pressed a letter
save everything and go to CWM and do a factory reset
Flashed neutrino 2.9 this morning and it is AWESOME! It was my first time ever flashing anything onto my phone, and everything worked out great! There are only 2 things I am wondering about...
First off, am I able to get swype set as my input method? I realize it's a pretty stripped down rom and swype has most likely been removed to cut down on size or increase efficiency etc. I've tried installing the swype beta, and managed to get the installer installed (yeah it's kind of an odd system, you download and install the installer to install swype) but for whatever reason when I type in the user/pass to get the actual swype installed, it just sits there forever and doesn't do anything. I've also just tried restoring swype with titanium backup from the backup I did on my stock rom, but it just starts a force-close loop until I set the input method back to the regular keyboard.
Secondly, and this is extremely minor, when I set up the fingerprint unlock there doesn't seem to be any backup unlock system for it. In the stock rom as we all know there is a pin that you can set to unlock as an alternative to swiping your finger on the reader. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it would be a bit of a pain in the ass if I was to drop my phone and a rock smashed the fingerprint sensor, or my index fingers got chopped off in some freak accident haha.
All input greatly appreciated! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, didn't seem quite appropriate to be posting over in the development section for something like this though.
*EDIT*
Swype problem solved. Looks like there was something wrong with the swype beta installer. After force closing it and opening it again it worked just fine, and swype is now installed and working (so far) perfectly!
So... Sort of a bump, but I ran into a new problem today.
For some reason when charging my phone, it only charges to 92%. I had it plugged in for about 12-13 hours, and it just seemed to stop charging. I pulled the battery, rebooted the phone, plugged it back in, etc. Didn't seem to do anything.
Anybody run into this one and know of a solution?
Tried this already?
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
was the fingerprint pin bypass every addressed?
i just started using 2.91gt+ and i won't enable the fingerprint lock with out a bypass pin...
i'm a marine engineer so my hands are constantly in and out of oil, fuel and fast orange so i've had days where on the stock rom it wouldn't even recognize i swiped my finger over it at all
