Keyboard stops working on 6.5 ROMs

danwanna · #1 (**permalink**) 08-17-2009, 05:05 PM

I have a USCC TP and have been running various 6.5 ROMS for 3+ months. I just recently started having keyboard issues and have found that if I flash back to stock 6.1 it works fine. When I reflash with any of the 6.5 ROMs my keyboard stops working almost right after booting up.

I normally run Juicy, but I have tried Mighty, Energy, Midnight as well as a couple others.

Any ideas?

I guess I could have started there, but I wasn't sure if it was something specific to the ROM builds that have been coming out lately.

@jskee35 - did you notice the same issue with 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs? That is the part that seems strange to me.

mine had started with 6.5 then it got on my nerves so i moved to 6.1 which didnt have it as bad...it just kept getting worse idk why tho. have you tried 6.1 on a consistent bases? like for a few days to a week?

I just had it quit on me with WM6.1 too. USCC is sending me a loaner phone and I have to send mine in for repair.

I was hoping for and exchange in store.

I had the same experience initially. Died on a 6.5 after having run them for a while. Switched from Mighty to Juicy, still dead. Switched to stock, worked. Switched back to Mighty, still worked for about a week, then dead again. Followed online tips, squeezed the spacebar, started working again while still on 6.5. Then died after another week.

So I, too, thought it was a 6.5 issue, but eventually managed to prove otherwise.

wow.... I never expected that I would run into these problems but I was starting to suspect the same thing. I'm pretty monogamous when it comes to ROMs but lately, I've been having issues with the keyboard. Stuff like, I would type something... maybe seconds later, it would finally type out what I had just typed. Other times, it simply wouldn't work... I would open/close the keyboard which sometimes does the trick... I don't know.

I'm getting pretty damn frustrated with my touch pro atm. I'm gonna try to flash to 6.1 and see if that makes a difference.. I just need this stupid thing to work when I want it to...geezus.
