Re: Touch Pro Keyboard problem?

Then I closed the keyboard, closed notes, and tried to send a text message using the keyboard. Now it is flipping again. I close the text messaging app and go back to Notes and now it will not work as before. Very strange.

I also noticed that if I let the phone sit there with the keyboard open and the screen flipping back and forth every second that the phone never turns off the screen and sleeps (like it does if you let it sit for about 30 seconds normally). It is being kept awake because it thinks I am opening and closing the keyboard constantly.

Here is a link to a video demonstration:

i'll say take it back and get another one.
