I wish it was that simple...I have the texting problem with a totally stock rom with nothing installed. I get the disappearing first word text or the keyboard closing on its own for no reason when creating a new text.

The only thing i found as a temporary work around is to hit the backspace key a few times prior to initially typing. The seems to give some relief from the problem.

You would think that Sprint would have addressed this issue prior to release. I mean could they have taken any longer to spoon out this "maintainance patch"? Sheesh...I hope they don't wonder why they are hemorging customers.
