Hardware Keyboard - Characters repeat - Page 2

THE ONLY REAL WAY TO FIX THIS IS:

Go to sprint and get a new phone. Their is NO permanent fix for this issue. It will be an ongoing issue. It has happened to just about ever mogul I have owned except 1. Assuming you have insurance, Sprint WILL replace your phone for this issue. I have tried and got a brand new Titan.

The keyboard fixes *can* work...but they usually go back to double letters *or* leaving letters out that you pressed.

Don't think getting a Touch Pro will fix your problems either, the TP has their own brand of keyboard faults as well.

thx dark, i was thinking of picking up a TP recently myself...my mogul is biting the dust again and I am thinking I might finally want to progress forward. kinda scared to shy away from WinMo though....I really like all the features *sigh

+1 for the heads up though on the TP.

The keyboard data ribbon apparently gets loose or something and creates major lag and freezes in input. Eventually you have to start pressing really hard on the space key for it to register your keys and after a while the keyboard completely dies. I've had this happen once already, and there are a ton of threads on the TP forum with people complaining about the same thing, hahah. I'm so disappointed that HTC can't get their design/quality up to par as I myself love the WM platform was well.

The letter O I U would stick on mine. If it were random letters then yeah I would say software related. But when it is the same keys over and over, its hardware related.

same with me on my mogul, the vowel letters tended to stick a lot more, especially the o i u buttons. b's as well for some reason.

I have the same issue. Characters either repeat or don't register at all. This is occurring on a refurbished Mogul I received last week after the Wi-Fi went out on my first phone. Taking it to the Sprint store tomorrow. Going to beg for a Touch Pro.

I have a brand new refurb mogul (kinda an oxymoron huh?) but it does this as well.. Its never been dropped whatsoever its less than 48 hours old.. but I must say I love my touch pro keyboard.. Had it since December with no issues
