Have you had any issues with keys "sticking?" Not physically, just getting things like "What are yooooooooou doing?" etc. If so, you have a hardware issue with your keyboard and you need to go to the sprint store and deal with them stealing your phone for a half hour or more just so they can tell you that you need a new one. I'm on my fourth touchpro since May. Grrr...

Same problem. Some peoples stick some die out, some like mine do both. Sucks!!

My keyboard started to go out about a week ago.

I am totally freaking out because I'm one of those Sprint->Verizon ebay phone guys. I have no insurance...I'm just hoping for this phone to hold on until the next gen comes out (skipping TP2).

anyhoo! looks like the "Hard Spacebar" solution seems to work for me.

my keyboard hasn't worked for a couple weeks or so. the hard spacebar temp fix works now that i try it. Hopefully sprint will give me a brand new one when i get it replaced tonight. how long does the hard spacebar usually work for?

I'll let you know...I just found the solution this morning.

mine stopped working this past weekend..i tried sfot resets, hard resets, re-flashing to sprint stock rom..nothing worked..definitely hardware.

Im about to run to the sprint store..see what they can do. I'll report back.

well the sprint technician said its totally kaput..and said that because my case was hardcore cracked (I dropped it once) they would charge some $120 repair fee or whatever, so he said just go through insurance instead...so I called the insurance and they charge $100 to replace phone.

Thats pretty crazy considering the keyboard failure wasnt my fault, and happened only 7 months into owning the thing. WTF

If it's Hardware based how does a soft reset fix it? Mine just started acting up this week. Hard Spacebar press didn't help but a soft reset does.
