Custom ROMS causing keyboard issues?

[loudmax20]

I have noticed this after flashing to a 6.5 ROM then downgrading back to stock Alltel ROM. It will type and then all of a sudden the TP freezes and then it will repeat the last key i pressed like 5 times sometimes i have to slide it closed and open again to get it to work.

I worked through this issue after fighting it all day yesterday -

This issue stemmed from the installation of Might 4.15, and required hard reboot after 1-2 emails or texts.

Finally, after installing several other ROMs, thinking the image had become corrupt, I landed on Sceptre Rom 2.0. I played around for a bit with it, and the keyboard kicked back in perfectly.

Now I am running the most recent build of Juicy 5.0, without a single issue.

i have the stock rom, never flashed to anything, only changed the manilla files and my keyboard is doing exactly like the OP.

never had this problem before a week ago when i dropped it for the first time since getting it. prolly gonna get a replacement

i havent had any problems with my verizon touch pro. the keyboard may be laggy but its never stop working *knock on wood*

Yea, for people who seem to have the issue ongoing without any resolution, it's probably a loose wire.

My keyboard has been doing fine since the one time it stopped working and after a soft reset worked fine.

TheDoctor1971, when you opened it, did you see anything that might cause any technician looking at your device to know you've ever opened it? Like stickers that had to be broken to open the device or anything of that sort?

[TheDoctor1971]

There's a tiny black sticker over one of the screws but since its exposed to the elements it could have easily rubbed off at anytime so I doubt they'd consider that proof.

Either way, I was gonna get tired of sending the phone back to sprint each time. I suppose you could always say you took it to a sprint store and they removed the cover to look at it.

I took the plunge and preformed surgery on my soon to be replace touch pro, it was easy with THELASTPOET's instructions and he posted a picture earlier in this thread, that really helped. it's pretty easy but if you are a smash and dash type of person don't do it because you will really rip the cable or break the phone, take your time and be careful.

once you in pull up the pic provided by THELASTPOET on page 3 post #29 of this thread you can pretty much figure out the rest, just a simple reseat of the connection. (just pull it out and push it back in) get your minds out of the gutter while your at it......now put it all back together and start it up. this should fix your pro. if not try it again and when all else fails, slap the closet idiot next to you and blame them....=D> be sure to thank THELASTPOET for the picture and the instructions they can be found at XDA also.

ok, didnt work my keyboard is shot for sure, but thanks for the instructions, i have no idea what is up now, i opened it up twice and reseated the connections then pet it back together and tested, both times were a no go. WTF!! possibly a short?

[chaos2137]

Just slapped my co-worker and blamed them as per instruction from post #47, sorry dude, now suck it up and stop crying lol.

i just followed the instructions per thelastpoet and now my keyboard works! i just unplug and reconnect, wish i would have did it earlier.
this has been driving me crazy for about a month!
THANKS
