You did a hard reset after you installed MR5?

that's not the way i do it, but that will still work.

just reflash MR5 again and you should be fine. If it does it again, soft reset. If you get tired of soft resetting, flash to another 6.1 ROM like MightyMike 4.16.

I'm totally guessing, but i'm thinking the hardware keyboard is a 6.5 issue. It has been talked about in the MR5 thread, so your problem has been noted.

that should cover it.

Interesting. I'm flashing my ROM in a few minutes because my Keyboard has just stopped working today. I can hard reset and it will work for a few words, then stop responding. Occasionally, I can close the phone, open it back up and wait, it will fill in what I'd typed, but then freeze up again. Sprint Tech Support suggested taking it in to a store tomorrow, but I figured I'd give it a shot at flashing the ROM first.

a lot of the newer phones have keyboard issues. U press a key and it repeatssssssssss itsssssseeeeeeeelllllllf like so, before it flat out stops working. Not a rom issue its a hardware issue.


Sprint(thru Asurion) will send u a Brand New phone free of charge, not sure if u need the Total Protection Policy or not, I have it tho. i just activated my 4th replacement from Sprint, and all four times they've sent brand new phones. 3 of the 4 had the keyboard issue

But hey, I got enough Headphones, Hip Cases, and chargers to last a lifetime.


btw...theres a milli of these keyboard topics, just search

How did you do your replacement? did you call it in or go to the sprint store?

I had the same issue... Worked fine until I flashed to MR5.... I then tried to use 4.16, and stock sprint.... The issue did not go away.... I just got the phone replaced. I went to the store... they had their techs look at it... and they sent me a NIB Pro ....To be on the safe side I'm sticking with 4.16 for now (until all the bugs in MR5 are fixed)

As I stated above, I called in the issue first on my stock, unlocked phone. After troubleshooting a bit, she said it's time to take it to a service center. I flashed the Mighty ROM 5 just to see what it's all about. Of course, the keyboard stopped working again yesterday so I flashed the stock ROM back to the phone last night. Again, the keyboard seemed well and good last night, but when using it at work, the keyboard quit on my second site. So I just stopped in at a service center after work, they looked at it and actually found the cable was dirty and on in strait somehow... But put it back together, we thought it was good then he asked me to try some notes and sure enough, the keyboard quit on me again. He promptly began ordering a new phone for me so I should have it tomorrow or Monday.

I did ask if this is a warranty or TEP issue and was assured that it is a warranty deal, so no $100 BS.

Just replaced my second TP because of a dead keyboard.... Can't say it's the ROM's for sure but can say for sure, flashing back to stock didn't do a thing.
