Double charactering on Q10 keyboard

I have a Q10 keyboard that often produces double characters. This seems to be an issue that I have seen in the past on other phones, but I didn't see a sensible solution posted here. A search here also doesn't produce much more that 'rants'. Is there a known solution to this problem? I think my Q10 has been experiencing this problem almost from the first time I bought it (18 months ago) but it's never been much of problem. Recently though, it seems to have gotten a bit worse. Is there any known solution?

Here is some video of it.
I don't think its a faulty sensor\screen as it's consistent and everything else works perfectly.
A single finger won't do it - nor does three - it has to be two fingers at exactly the same time

Double character input error when entering data in numbers using Bluetooth keyboard.

Using a bluetooth keyboard (Logitech) sometimes causes a double character input when entering data in numbers.
For example if wish to enter the number "22" or the word "in" they become "2222" and "iinn". Pressing enter of tab also causes a double jump
This problem is not always solved by turning keyboard off and on or by closing down and restarting numbers.
This problem does not occur in any other app.
I have used 2 different Logitech keyboards (ultra-slim and the recently new folio keyboard) and both caused the same problem.
The error is sporadic but frequent and has lead to me often having to switch back to touch input.
Very frustrating considering these excellent keyboards are ideal for using in numbers when working correctly!
ANy advice would be much appreciated

Zombie,
Not much help I'm afraid, but I just saw your post & wanted to let you know that I have the same problem, but for me it manifests itself in many apps, and it happens with the Apple bluetooth keyboard
. The only thing I've noticed is that it only seems to happen when I first start typing after not using the keyboard for a while (I'm not sure how long a while is, but maybe 30 seconds or so). Then I'll type & the first few letters will be fine, and then one letter double-types, and then it's fine again until I stop using it for whatever the threshold amount of time is. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the iPad's battery management & that it's shutting off the connection to the keyboard or something & once it picks it back up, then it double-types that letter.
At least in Pages, it isn't as big of a deal because I know it's coming, I can correct it & then type for a long time. In Numbers, my keyboard use is much less consistent, so I need to be more cognisant of it.

How to recognize original Q10 keyboard?

Hello,
Unfortunately my Q10 keyboard have double typping issue, also waranty period is over.
So I decided to buy new keyboard for my phone online.
I have just a little problem because I don't have any idea how can I recognize original keyboard.
My question is, How can I?

Oh wait - it is there when my other keyboard is plugged in, but disapears - it's not available when I plug this keyboard in.

Get Blackberry to unleash the full power of the Q10 Keyboard.

About me:
* A am a heavy Blackberry user and developer since the 7200.
* I Love BB Keyboard because it's a workhorse, it just gets thinks done faster.
My Feedback:
* Q10 is still missing lots of the keyboard Magic of the 9900
How Can this be done....
#1 Home Screen Shortcuts
Long Press for phone speed dial, one key press for app shortcuts
Details
1. Just like we always had long press any key for speed dial
2. Give us the option to have the home screen function like a live search (as it works now)
or we can assign each key to a program of our choice (and use the "s" to launch the live search), like it was on the 9900, but make it better where we can choose what program gets launched using what key (before it was hardcoded and was not changeable by the user)
The current option in the search is nice (like "bbm mark") but does not replace the direct key to program shortcut. (it's not a conflict you can have both)
#2 Email Advanced/Saved Search
Message Advanced Search, with its Saved Search option linked to a hot key.
Details
on the 9900 if I wanted to search all my unread email from client "X"
1. Press M from the home screen (to open my email box)
2. Press Alt+O (or any saved key) from the message list (to bring up a saved search..)
that took me less than 2 seconds,
Now try doing that on the Q10 and let me know how many keys you have to press, and more
important how long it will take you!! Actually you can't even do it since you can only search for 1 item at a time, I can't search for all emails where the "from address" is [email protected] and the subject contains "call me" etc.
How it should work..
1. Just Bring back what we had in os7
#3 Forward conditions
Forward conditions for mail box (what should be sent to device)
on the 9900 I was able to chose to forwarded or not to forward email based on a condition or to have it come in as a level1 email, Bring back what we had in os7
#4 Email Body view
Html email view.
give me an option to show email in fit with mode, now it does not always fit and may be to wide.
#5 Black Background.
Black Background in calendar (and other) app.. its impossible to see my calendar outside in the sun
I understand you made it black to save battery life.. give me the choice to make it white and have a less battery life.
#6 Bedside mode
Bedside mode has no option to automatically go into airplane mode automatically (like we had in os7)
#7 Auto on/off
Auto on/off based on day or weekend..
Bring back what we had in os7
#8 Note List Search
Note list (now "reminder") missing search option
#9 Camera App keyboard shortcuts
Camera app has no keyboard shortcut to change flash options, change from video to picture, swap to front camera
#10 Contact List Category
Contact list is missing filter by category
Bring back what we had in os7
#11 "Mark Prior Read" Keyboard Shortcut.
"Mark prior read" needs keyboard shortcut and is not working properly
#12 Power standby mode
now you only have an option to fully turn off your phone, i want close my phone at night but not close all my apps... like we had in os7
This can all be done without effecting the z10 or any other phone.
Summary
A Q10 Should not be a Z10 with a keyboard Glued on to it.
I know Blackberry put in lots of keyboard shortcuts, but they're not done yet.
I don't speak for myself, being the blackberry guy in my company
everyone comes to complain to me with all their issues..
Now please don't say.. well you can do that by pressing here and swiping there and tapping there.. let's make the Q10 keyboard work for us...
it's about getting the job done faster.. and more efficatintly
Something to think about on the next phone design,
the back key is sorely missed, it's a lot faster and more accurate then trying to get the swipe just right..
what would be a good idea for the next phone is to make a side button that can be programmed to do whatever you like, like we had till now but also can be programmed as a back button.. think about that no loss of screen size.. and I still have my back button, you can still keep the swipe but give us the choice..)

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-downloas in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Q10 keyboard issues

My Q10 keyboard is now randomly inserting a zero when I type. This device is not yet one year old. It replaced a previous Q10 which was randomly inserting an "oh" "O" to the extend that it became unsuable, so was replaced. Now the same thing is starting to happen with a new Q10 but a different charater. Is there a problem with keyboard? This is too much of a conincidence for me.

Q10 keyboard stopped working after 10.3.1 update

Hi everyone. I did the 10.3.1 update on my Porsche 9982 today and all is great. I did the update on my wife's Q10 and the keyboard stopped working. I have pulled the battery a couple times but still not working. I dont even know if I can restore to factury as I am not able to type 'blackberry' in the screen to do the reload. Any suggestions? This was a Q10 that was used for beta testing but is the newer model. Help

I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

Q10 Keyboard problem?

Hi all,
I am using from some time a Q10 with Italian keyboard with QWERTY setup.

Do you think is an hardware problem? I think so.
Thanks for your advice,
Stef

As i said depends on the Situation of the Device whether it is repairable or not . .
Please update the result after applied..
Thanks

Q10 keyboard backlight off

Had to replace my Q10 screen after the initial went blank. On replacing with a new screen, my keyboard light never came on while the BBVE software indicated my light/proximity sensors were unavailable.
Did all that were detailed online when your sensors are unavailable to no good till my technician found out that the light/proximity sensor chip were missing.
Recovered the chip from the old screen and my keyboard baclight is back.

Hi

Q10 Keyboard Shortcut Question/Suggestion

I've entered several keyboard shortcuts. One of them is a person's name that I text regularly. The keyboard shortcut works in the body of a text, but not in the address field. Keyboard shortcuts should work in these fields also. I repeatedly text this person and don't want to start typing their name everytime. I want the three letter shortcut to automatically pull up the name.

The available keyboard shortcuts are also listed here in this forum, but that's not the user's question..

Need help on writing chinese character on Q10

Could anyone help me how to write chinese character on English platform without changing the whole language to chinese?
Thanks

Blackberry Handwriting support english and chinese

Why am I unable to type any character with English Keyboard in iOS 6?

Canadian English Keyboard, Chinese Keyboard, all work well, but I cannot even type a symobol, or anything else with the U.S. English keyboard. I tried to change the layout, but didn't solve this.

It's not actually the routers that is causing the "cap" you are talking about.
The fact you are making interventions into the broadband line, is causing the dslam to see signal interuptions.
The dslam runs line management and if it sees successive interventions, sees it as line "flapping" ....
with a reduction in line IP profile and associated throughput. Your netgear router if set up properly as Del
described, will admirably handle the broadband and probably better than the hub. Once connected and stabilised,
a continuous 3 day period of stability will see the line profile go back up on its own.
The netgear actually has some benefits over the hub, but also some shortfalls, but from a broadband throughput
perspective, the choice is sound.
