Keyboard missing key presses? Look here.

[veedubguru]

Not sure if I'm hitting the right subgroup by putting this in the upgrades forum, but it seems to be where people will most likely be looking for a solution on this one.

I noticed after installing and removing Verizon's Instant Messenger app, that my keyboard was missing key presses like every 3rd or 4th press. Verizon's Instant Messenger app also installs a cab called "Titan Key", which after decompressing the install file I found out was another keyboard driver. It's listed in the "Remove Programs" section as Customization Customize_Tool. Well when I removed the Instant Messenger application, I removed this too. BAD MOVE.

If you did what I did, reinstall Verizon's Instant Messenger application and then when you take it off, leave Customization Customize_Tool on your device. Your keyboard should work correctly after that.

I've seen other people having this missed keystroke problem in the past for other reasons, maybe installing Verizon's application, and leaving behind that tool, you might just fix your problem. Point your phone's browser to http://start.vzw.com/ and look for Mobile IM link.

If I helped, hit the thanks button. Mods: If I screwed up and put this out here and it's already a known issue please kill my thread.

Well, you might give this a try, since it does install a different keyboard driver. Not sure if it'll help at all or not since I don't know which version of driver it is. I really don't think it would hurt anything, and at worst you'll be installing a keyboard driver that I know works on at least my 6800.

i think Customization Customize_Tool is the same file installed with the cab for the keyboard fix from Verizon. i believe its the updated driver

Personally, I think the Titan is just a shoddy piece of tripe. I've replaced mine three times already because the face buttons lose responsiveness (at one point I even had to f'in BITE the green call key) and on my latest phone the keyboard has become ridiculously finicky. I've only dropped this phone twice onto carpet and never dropped my first three. Coupled with the craptastic RAM and you can color me a curmudgeon. So grumpy and frustrated with this phone...and yet, I love it so.

You gotta baby it.

I am ready for the Touch Pro but won't probably get it for a while.
