Double letters

My iphone keeps typing double letters and doesn't always respond when I tap on icons.

I've got the exact same problem.  Have had a 3GS since it came out no problems.  Purchased a new iPhone 4 yesterday and cannot type anything, texts, emails, notes, even my pin code double clicks but doesn't appear until you type the next letter... thereby getting two or more of the same "touched" number/letter... icons sometimes need more than one/two taps before it registers... swiping doesn't always work and whilst typing if you press the backspace/delete button it continues to delete until you press space or another key... it's driving me absolutely nuts... the only reason I'm writing on here is because it's too early to call the store where I purchased the phone to speak to someone there... infuriating... ultra sensitivity this cannot be... I've read too many other posts in forums to say that this looks like an inherent problem... I loved my 3GS and it took all my resistence to succumb to iphone 4 as I want to use FaceTalk with my son in Thailand... had 3GS had such an app I wouldn't have changed for the world!! Hindsight, what a great thing!

  • Is this a RegExp bug??? Matching double letters inside words...

    I'm trying to match double letters inside words, excluding ones that begin or end a word.  I'm running into a problem matching \B at the end of a line.
    example:
    My RegExp is /\Bdd\B/gi
    String is "dda adda add add"
    This will match twice, the dd in the 2nd word, and the dd in the 4th word.  Why is it matching the 4th word??

    It matches only once. Make sure there are no other characters in the end of your string.

  • Ipad keyboard double letters

    Hi,
    When typing on my iPad keyboard sometimes it types double letters instead of just one letter. For example if I write Chelsea it will sometimes type Cheelseea. The problem is not unique to one letter.
    I have rebooted iPad but problem persists. Can anyone recommend a fix?
    Thanks.

    Over a year ago and no answers. Did you ever get this fixed? I have the same problem.

  • What causes double letters skips and wrong letters when typing

    Os 10.9.5
    Tried a new keyboard and still get skips, double letters, and wrong letters non adjacent to the intended key.

    Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and see if the problem persists there.  If not then reboot normally and try again.

  • Typing Double Letters

    When I type, double letters often show up... any ideas for a fix?
    I thought it was the microsoft keyboard I was using that was just getting old, but I just bought a new aluminum keyboard two days ago, and the problem is still happening... and, I installed the keyboard firmware update, too.

    Well, it's a bit drastic, but it got fixed for me.
    My Finder started crashing and restarting every ten seconds or so... couldn't find a fix, and had to go through a complete Erase & Install.
    No more double letters, though, knock on wood. If they ever come back, I'll let you know what I installed to make it happen again.

    Try changing System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard/Key Repeat to a slower setting. Test.

  • Q10 double letters while typing

    Good day,
    I presently have a Q10, had it for a little over a year, I was given this by my company in Australia, I presently work in Indonesia but live in Canada. While typing the keyboard has a tendancy to double up on letters, I have noted via the forums that this is a common problem. Now I cannot take the phone back to Australia, not sure I want to turn it in here in Indonesia (I am very far from a large center) but I do live in Canada. If I take this phone to Telus or someone like that will they hounor it and have it repaired, again this is a common problem so obviously a design problem.
    What the heck should I do to get this sorted.
    Thank you for your time
    Dave

    I am having the same problem with my Q10... it is only a little over a year old as well.  It is an issue that just started maybe a few months ago.  I thought it was something I was doing, but it continues.    I tried looking in the settings to see if t there was something to to adjust the keypad touch settings, but I cannot find it.   I gave up erasing an retyping words with double letters.....  It is driving me crazy!!!!!  
    I am also having an issue with my phone phone restarting if I drop it down on the table (no not dropping it down hard).  I have a hard case on the phone. So it is protected and I don't abuse my phone.  
    I like Blackberry, but I am definitely getting frustrated with this whole thing.  
    I was hoping this latest software upgrade (Feb 2015)  would resolve the problem but it didn't. 
    Hello,
    Given your two symptoms, I would deduce something physical is the problem...a hardware fault, defect, something broken inside, etc. However, hardware problems are of course impossible to truly diagnose at an internet distance...only in person evaluation by a qualified BB hardware technician can provide you with a true diagnosis (and hopefully also a remedy).
    Good luck!

  • Keyboard intermitte​ntly typing double letters and numbers

    My Pavilion laptop intermittently types double letters.  I'm running windows 8.1 and the unit is about 6 weeks old.  It has done this eever since I got it.  I've look at other links to problems similar and checked the double key rate.  Also I've pluged in a generic keyboard and it appears not to do it.  
    Any specific suggestions?
    Thanks

    This is usually an easy problem to fix with HP laptops
    HP keyboards are bit different that what MS default settings expect. Usually this can be fixed in keyboard settings.  In Windows 7 click the orb, in windows 8 bring up the menu OR just tap the Windows key if its on a keyboard
    type in "keyboard" and click to keyboard [settings]
    You may find the default Repeat dalay is the lowest possible setting. This rate is too short for the sensitivity of HP keyboards as the key signals down before its fully pressed, and doesn't stop until its halfway up.  Very clean, accurate keypress, mistaken for a hold.
    Turn the delay up (Long) and this should stop it.
    (I tried for weeks to find this in BIOS, but as of Windows 7 its now controlled by the OS)

  • Safari keeps typing double letters

    I'm using Safari for Windows (5.1.1) and it keeps typing double letters in web forms, etc. - although it does stop when I reboot the browser.  Any help will be much appreciated.

    Solution Found:
    The culprit was Keyscrambler, an anti-keylogging prog made by QFX Software.
    When Keyscrambler was active, the double-letter thing happened when typing into any Safari form fields. Disabling Keyscrambler solved the problem.
    I discovered this accidentally by going to XP's Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Keyboards, and looking at the driver details for my Logitec USB keyboard. The Keyscrambler driver was listed there so I thought there might be a connection. And there was.
    I see a number of Safari double-letter complaints on the web and your particular reason for this fault may be different to mine. I've notified QFX about the fault.

  • Keeps typing double letters in when entering the password for my Mac Username.

    Macbook Pro just started typing double letters ONLY when typing the password for my Mac User sign up.  It only does it for the area that I need to enter the password, and even types fine for the username area that's on the same screen.  Even tried typing each one (which shows a double type) and backacing each couble letter, but it still says invalid. Need to get this fixed for work tomorrow.. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    Try resetting your Apple ID password.

  • Moto Droid physical keyboard double letters

    Ok I bought a Motorola Android for verizon about 8 months ago. And its been working fine for 6 and a half months but then of course my power button randomly broke... I think it is the little spring inside somehow broke? Anyway this is annoying and i am sure i can get it fixed but not my biggest concern.
    About a month ago my keyboard (physical qwerty) keyboard started acting weird. (I haven't 'hacked' or updated my phone through the internet) for all intensive purposes it is brand new). When i typed a message it began to miss some letters and double others; example 'hey what's up" became 'heey watts uup'. It started off small, and a double here and a miss there but in the past month it has gotten HORRIBLE. At this point I can not even use the keyboard, when i type in passwords on internet or google search it is unrecognizable. I just tied typing 'hey how are you' in the google search and got 'y h r yo'... As you can see it is completely screwed up... pushing hard on keys or any of that doesnt help. I am pretty sure i need to go into my local verizon store... 40 min away! and get a new phone or replacement of this one, and since i am in 1 yr it should be free right? BY the way, 3 out of 4 of my friends are beginning to have same problem with their droids! they are in the beginning stage tho and it isnt as bad as mine... but it seems to be getting worse for them too!!!
    Lots of questions let me break down it here:
    1) anyone else having this problem
    2) has anyone resolved this
    3) will verizon fix/replace my phone
      3a) if so i here you can get the droid x instead (saw some forums) this true?
    anything will help thanks!

    I've been having the exact same problem for 2 months now and my phone is not even 1 year old yet.
    I never use the onscreen keyboard because it is so inaccurate (and I don't even have very large fingers); it just never indicates the letter on screen that I wanted, always the (wrong) one next to it.  So I have nly ever used the flip out keyboard to do any typing, and for at least the past 2 months, it is always doubling up on any vowels that I type, only the vowels.  I guess because they get used so much, they are wearing out - which is awful.  Nothing is made to last any more.
    I too am dreading having to waste a chunk of my Saturday to go to a Verizon store and get it sorted out.  And get the usual "Oh, but now there's a brand new model and if you sign up for another 2 years, you can get it for free instead!" spiel.....

  • Typing double letters...skipping double lines?

    I'm using a new iPad Air 2 with the Apple Keyboard.  Often it double types letters and skips two lines and backspaces two spaces, etc.  Anyone else have this problem.
    Also, what does it mean when I can't get the cursor to settle on the Log-In box...it takes forever to get it to work right.  And navigating this comment box isn't exactly easy.  If this isn't due to needing to replace the AA batteries in my keyboard, do you know what could be the cause of these problems?

    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, it's double typing everywhere, not just here.  But I do have a lot of problems here and don't want to come back.  Do you know of any other forums that are good for discussing apple stuff?  I had to do a copy/paste to post this comment as it wouldn't let me type in the comment box. 
    Hopefully nobody will think I'm rude if I just can't get back in here for one reason or another having to do with apple's software problems.

  • TS2755 When I type into a text message, double letters appear, periods appear within sentence. it is very erratic.

    Since yesterday every time I try to type a text message, letters appear twice, periods appear after each word and the functiionality seems very unstable.  not sure why,  i have plenty of memory available.

    Hello tennisgal2013,
    It would impossible to write a text message with the behavior you are experiencing in Messages on your iPhone, so I definitely understand your concern with this issue.  I'm not sure if you have tried this, but I recommend first trying to restart your iPhone and then a reset if the restart doesn't work:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    If the issue persists after the reset, I recommend restoring your iPhone.  You can find steps for backing up and restoring your iPhone in the following links:
