I second the motion that if you are inside the 12 month MANUFACTURERS warranty, Sprint HAS to honor it, and will. I have had a few phones replaced this way, including Instincts in the last... WEEK :) |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
My keyboard works for a little bit then doesn't work. My pad on the front works and doesn't work. It seems to work for a little bit then it stops. I don't think I've had a touch pro that the keyboard worked. This will be the second phone in a bout a week and half for the same problem.

I had a Sanyo 8100, 2- Samsung M610 (great phone too!) and 2 Instincts replaced no questions asked. Of course it helps that i have a friend who works there, but then he knows what employees of Sprint can and cannot do. |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I just had my keyboard stop working last week. It got really laggy for a few days and then stopped all together. The Sprint rep in the store said she hadn't heard of this before - not like they would admit it anyway. They did a replacement for me since I just had the phone replaced less than two weeks ago. This was my third Touch Pro in as many months. The first one had a bad keyboard as well, and the second one would never activate data (thought it was a Touch Diamond for some reason when the ESN was entered into the Sprint system). Hopefully this fourth one will do better. They were on back order, but the new one came in pretty fast. I had it ordered on Friday, and it arrived on Monday.

It said it would charge my sprint acct $55 on my next bill? Not really sure why...At this point, I just want a new phone because I'm tired of using the SIP keyboard!!! My KB has been flaky for the last month but now it's completely dead. A soft reset would fix the problem for awhile but now I get nothing. I'll gladly pay $55 for a new phone though. I don't have insurance on my phone and I bought it from best buy. Don't know if that makes a difference or not. |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
yeah it wouldnt let me order from the site, just told me to take it to a sprint store.. :lol: oh well
and yeah i have the insurance so maybe thats why. this is my 3rd ppc phone ( 3rd pro as well) so i'll be glad to pay for the insurance, i have learned that along the way. i actually upgraded to the pro from the mogul because of the insurance. so i didnt pay anything and i didnt have to sign up for 2 more years. |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I had the same issue, the keyboard died on my phone. When I called Sprint they told me I had to make a Assurion claim (Thats B.S.). So i went into the store and the rep ordered me a brand spankin new phone from the manufacturer, since I only had the phone for less than two months. It seems this issue is common on this phone. Makes me wonder if I made the right choice. I like the phone and all but I dont want to worry about malfunctoning again.

my 2nd tp is refurb, the one i have now... the one im about to get is new from what i was told. when i called i asked if i could get a new one since this would be my 3rd tp. the person told me she would add a note on the order but couldnt promise i would get a new one... from what my wife told me, it is a new one. i will check when i get it. |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I had the same issue with my first TP with sprint, Seemed to have happened after the phone flew against the wall (dont ask..... it wasnt ME who did it. I have a retarded friend who cant hand a phone 2 feet and decided to throw it.) Anyway, I took it to sprint, they soft reset, then did a hard reset, They told it it was working, I go to the store, and of course its not working, And the awesome part is that they deleted all my numbers and decided not to back up anything! yay. thanks sprint. I enjoyed having 7 years of numbers deleted. So i *****ed untill I got a new in box touch pro. It worked.

I must add my story to the mix of touch pro whoa's , i recieved my spankin new phone in feb. :headbang: i proceeded to do what we all do, see what it had under the hood as far as stock goes, then .......who am i kidding, hell i flashed the crap out of it just because i remembered how fun it was to do on the mogul. then 29 (count them) 29 days later the freaking keyboard dies like a young boys spirit at micheal jackson's house or a catholic priest's alter (you pick, same result either way) so i call sprint and they send me a new phone the very next day=D> well that was alot of smoke up my A** because they stuck me with the new phone bill and i sent it in weeks ago, now i have had this "new" pro for 17 freakin days and guess what happens this morning.....the bastard keyboard dies!!!:protest: i have got this thing finaly perfect, all tweaked out every optimization you can shake a stick at. perfect and in pristine condition, if they made baby pampers for these phones i would have stock in it, but nope. so i call sprint again, and after talking to the united nation's in operators i finaly get someone who speaks english (kinda) this bastard tells me i am covered for theft, water damage or lost equipment and cannot cover me if it's not damaged......WTF!!! so i tell him if that's the case i can throw it in the freaking toilet because it's a piece of **** and it will definately be damaged then. (I've got his attention now) he tranfers me to a supervisor and i proceed to tell him that i have had it for 17 days, i need a replacement and to take off the bill for the last replacement because i'm not paying 600 bucks for basicly a diamond with baggage. he processes my cliam and i power down from super saiyen level 10:twisted: and allow him to live. but then he tells me that i will be charged for this replacement if i do not return the broken one.......so that means i now have a $1200.00 bill and a jacked up phone!!!!! does anyone feel my pain and anger???? on a serious note, i think we really must look into a solution for this common problem, is flashing our phones causing this. opinions?? please let me know:angry7: |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I had this isuues on my last tp {im on number 4 now}
I called sprint and asked to be transferred to advanced tech support .... I told the lady what was happeneing and she ordered a new tp be sent to me since this is a known issue No problems with my new one whats ur build date just out of curiosity? |

FYI, I never flashed my phone a single time and I had the KB crap out. I bought it from best buy back in August of 08. My guess is, it has something to do with the heat problems. I stream music and always open the phone cause it gets hot. I think over time it melts something in there and causes the KB to become flaky and eventual die. That's just my .02 cents though..I constantly have my phone on the charger cause the battery life is so terrible.. Quote:

Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
So im gettin a new phone... My keyboard crapped out on me a couple weeks ago, went into sprint and now Im gettin a new one on Friday :) Hopefully its not a refurb, and hopefully the keyboard doesnt crap out again haha
|
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
Ok so i rarely get on this site but my latest tp just had the keyboard died on it... this is my third one... my 2nd had the same issue... so they sent me the one i have now, brand new and it only lasted about 3 weeks... this is ridiculous...
|
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I initiated a phone replacement online because of this issue. Crap... I hope I don't get a refurb. The refurb I got a couple months ago was so bad I just shipped it back to them and kept my original phone.
FYI for the n00bz, if the model they send you starts with REC then it's a refurb. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll know what I'm getting until I get the email saying it's shipped :( This is what I fear: Replacement Phone Information: Model Name: REC UTSTAR PPC6850 WNDWS MBLE 6.1 SINGLE |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
haha I just got my 4th one a few minutes ago. Same issue.

Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
Design flaw with the TP. Let's all trade in for Palm Pres. LOL
|
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
So I've had my replacement for about a month now and the keyboard is starting to crap out again. Huge lags when typing, it'll enter 5 spaces when press the space bar once. It will repeat letters randomly etc...
I've about had it with this stupid phone. How about HTC recall this piece of $hit and fix the stupid thing. :angry7: I'm just gonna get a samsung rant and call it a day. At least I know I'm getting a crappy POS phone. |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I have had 1 with a bad keyboard and that's it. So far everything works fine for me. Sorry about your bad luck man.

Add that to the heat issues and the kb, I've about reached my limit with this thing. I believe it's time to ditch the Pro. I desperately want to love this phone because it has everything I want in a phone. It just makes it even more frustrating... |

Since switching to the Telus radio prevents the phone from overheating, maybe that's why you've had better luck? Is there a noticeable difference as far as your phone getting hot with the Telus radio? Maybe I'll give that a shot when I get a replacement for my replacement ](*,) |
Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
Quote:
Yea, that's what I'm thinking. The difference was huge! I can run wifi while charging and its only be minimally warm. I have since switched to Sprint radio 1.11.0.0 and it is just as good as far as heat is concerned and it allows for updating prl and profile. I would definitely switch radios, it was the biggest battery difference I've had so far too! |

I'm gonna go to the sprint store after I get off work today. I'm wondering if they will give me a new phone since it's been less than a month since I replaced this phone?? |

Re: OMG!! My keyboard stopped working!!!
I also had my phone keyboard die today.
I have a Sprint store near me, so that's not a problem. I also have been meaning to go by there to see why my rebate hasn't come through. Before I take my phone in, do I need to flash it back to the stock ROM? I guess it would be a good idea... |
