Custom ROMS causing keyboard issues?

[WhiteWidow]

I am currently using Mighty's ROM but no matter what ROM I use now my keyboard its seems to get locked until I hit the space button. Then eventually I cannot use it at all until I do a Hard Reset. Then it works fine for a little while then the same thing happens again. I have had this issue on 2 different ROM and now i see some people reporting it on Jucies and other roms. Has anyone else had these issues? Any fix for it because I am thinking it a software issue that is causing the hardware issue. BTW my TP is only 1 month old.

wow i just got my replacement in the mail cause i had the exact same problem. I tried stock ROMs, customs and hard flashing and the keyboard NEVER worked unless you pressed space.

I used Mightymouse and Juicy

Yea its being reported by others too.

It sucks. HTC should be ashamed of themselves. Producing a keyboard phone where the keyboard does not work.

Back to my CPM days of my Zilog Z80 , the keyboard has always worked fine.

And how is a custom ROM HTC's fault?? Just curious..

Mine had the same keyboard problem. Mine is also a VZW model, not Sprint. When mine locked up I could wait for a while and it would unfreeze and start working again...but not for very long. I tried multiple soft resets and finally a hard reset. I flashed the ROM shortly after getting the phone but the problem started almost 3 months after flashing that ROM and me not changing anything. The got a refurb replacement under warranty. The replacement phone's keyboard feels different when typing. It doesn't have the snappy tactile feel of the old keyboard. This one feels like the keys are harder to press and don't snap/click like the old one.

Ive had issues like that too with a couple custom roms. Could it be a common driver issue? It is obviously a software issue since it is solved by a hard reset. (usually soft for me)

now that you mention it...I haven't had a single ROM that didn't have some sort of SIP issue.

hmmmmm.....There are some very smart people in this group...they'll figure it out.

I've flashed many custom roms and stock, and haven't had that issue once. odd?

[Kevlar3D]

a wee bit odd. Either way, its happening to me. Works fine for a bit on a fresh rom or hard reset then slowly reappears until a hard reset or new rom is required.
