I have a question for everyone... has anyone else seen an issue with their hardware keyboard after going to 21042? I have never had any problems and now when I slide out my kb I get the backlight for a few seconds and it goes dim almost immediately, and I cannot type a single character using it. FYI, I did use the kitchen but used no different OEMs than I have in the past.

I immediately assumed it was hardware related but I never had one single issue prior to the flashing of the 21042 rom with the Rev A kitchen. To me that seems to be too much of a coincidence...

Scott,
Does the Rev A take care of the issue with filling in the contact name when creating a new SMS? I've tried searchnig the thread but I think load is to high at the moment.

I've been using 21042 built from 1.6 Pro kitchen and I have not had this problem. I am reflashing to the newest 21042 using 1.6a kitchen right now. I'll use it over lunch and report back any problems with keyboard I see.

You could try installing Nue's KBLIGHT app and see if that helps.

All is working good here so far after heavy txt'ing with the keyboard over lunch.

no issues for me--using 21042 cooked with SSK 1.6A. have you inadvertently changed registry settings for keyboard backlight?

Thanks, please let me know what you get.

It's not a matter of the light... I cannot type using my hardware kb. I just mentioned the fact that the light does come on for a few moments and goes back out ASAP, in case that helped anyone with troubleshooting. By the fact that the kb gets light, I have to assume that the kb does work. But I cannot type any characters with it...

I'm not using 21042, but started getting a similar problem about a month ago. The keyboard works, then appears to lag a bit, then stops accepting input altogether. The only way to get it working again is to soft-reset.

I'm about to flash with 1.6rA and hopefully the problem will go away. I hope it's not a hardware issue but when I googled it, there were several posts about it from sprint TP users (I'm using a VZW TP).

If it doesn't go away with the new flash, I'm going to have to do a warranty claim on it.

Late response, but I had exactly the same issue.

So I ran 6.5 all weekend, it is interesting, doesn't give as much info on the front page as TF3D 2 does, but still it is quick. Only issue I am having is sometimes when my contacts call it shows up as unknown caller, but other times it works just fine. Any ideas on this one?
