I phone 4s keyboard sticking

my iphone 4s keyboard has begun to type multiple letters, act like im holding the key to show the alt choices, space bar 2x to put in period when only asked for 1x, spell checking questionable and inconsistant, backspace at times will continue unasked ant

It would definitely be worth doing a reset to see if this clears the problem,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

  • Anybody Have Problem with Keyboard Sticking

    I have a new Iphone 5S.  It was great for 2 weeks.  Then the keyboatd began stick, sometimes.  What I mean I may touch the same letter 3-5 times before it enters, or I toouch a letter and it becomes huge, sticks there then suddenly lets go and types that letter and more I never touched.  The last thing it does is sometimes not space when I use the command, until I try 4-5 times.
    Verizon has: Done a partial reset they promised wouldn't cause any problem for me but resetting wallpaper. The tech was soo wrong...Deleted ALL my settings and did not fix issue, Next they sent a refresh. Again no fix.  Rhird, we deleted the phone, on the phone, and restored from icloud, ny syncing.  Still has this intermittant problem
    I loaded the Emjoi Keyboard when I traded from 4s to 5s.  For some reason, that was only thing that wasn't there when I setup new phone. That never caused a problem on 4s , so can't imagine thats it.
    The operative word is Intermitant here.  I just don't get why it isn't doing the things I mentioned all of the time.
    Welcome all ideas as Verizon will NOt give me a NEW phone, even tjough mine is not a month oold.  I'll have to accept a refurbished one. That really upsets me.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Hey,
    No problems with my Droid 3 and the keyboard.  I have not seen any posts in our forums with anyone having that problem either.  Sometimes you might can take a Q-tip with a little rubbing alcohol on the tip and clean around the key in question and you might get lucky.  If you think it is some type of defect, you might want to contact customer support and they can assist you with your problem.  Good luck.

  • Keyboard sticks/jumps

    Recently I t realized that my keyboard has started to stick and jump around a page as I type. It will randomly jump up to a different section of the text and start writing there, or just highlight a portion of text, which then causes me to erase it as I continue to type. I have checked the trackpad, and is set to ignore accidental input. Besides, I have made sure to no be touching the trackpad, and it continues to do it. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix it? I would REALLY appreciate it. It really makes it difficult to work on my cover letter and I need. THANK YOU!

    Try this:
    Save your work, connect your MagSafe adapter & then remove your battery. Work with the battery removed and see if performance improves.
    If so, this means your battery has swollen and needs to be replaced.

  • Keyboard sticks repeating last key press

    Since I bought a new PC I have been having an issue with keyboard input.
    Quite regularly the keyboard appears to crash continually repeating the last keyboard press. Removing the USB port and plugging it back in restores normal order.
    This does not happen in windows on the same machine. It did not happen using ARCH on my old PC but with the same keyboard. So I suspect something software related to do with the motherboard.
    For reference they keyboard is a Microsoft Natural Ergonmic 4000 keyboard.
    Motherboard/CPU is Intel Haswell based.
    Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87
    Intel Core i5-4670
    I was suprised to find no one else with this issue which might mean something but I don't know.
    Any help much appreciated. This makes Arch on my new PC basically unusable.

    Is the keyboard directly connected to the machine or, e.g. through a usb hub? Did you try switching to another usb port?

  • PB Keyboard sticks occasionally

    Occasionally the 1st letter/number I type in a word or sentence doesn't register. i.e. "ello."
    It isn't a specific key and occurs randomly--most of the time, I can input with my PB keyboard just fine. However, it's most frustrating when typing & causing errors while entering passwords.
    This has been occuring for over a week and I haven't added any new apps/updates.
    Any advice or pointers/docs referencing this issue would be awesome. Thanks!

  • Locked out of phone and keyboard not working

    I may have hit a wrong button or series of buttons. Now I can't enter my password to unlock my Tour phone. Some of the keys such as the "S" and "H" keys, including the "del" key are not working.  My numlock is not on and this is my only phone so I can't call a help line. Any ideas?!!!
    Is it possible I accidentally changed a setting? I only have 5 password attempts left.
    Thank you.

    Hey longfoto,

  • Keyboard Stick

    I bought a ThinkPad T530 on September 7, 2012 with the new chiclet-keyboard and my "Shift" and "Enter" keys gets stuck in the keyboard all the time. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this? I am also past the 21 days I have to return it and was wondering if Lenovo would still take it back. Thanks.
    Solved!

    Call warranty, ask them to send you a new keyboard, and replace it yourself.

  • Why does Wireless Keyboard stick?

    My wireless keyboard has started to behave erratically. More often than not, when I press the full stop key it spews out line after line of full stops and will not stop until I take out the batteries. I have checked in Universal access that Mouse Keys are off and the batteries are new. I have also tried to clean the keys with a compressed air kit. Can anyone help please?

    Sounds like a bad keyboard, take it in or call your local Apple Service Center and make an appointment to have it checked out.

  • Screen starting to go? & multiple keys on keyboard stick intermitantly

    The botttom centre of my screen appears to be going, whenever i type either on a flat surface or on my lap it starts to shake as if i was touching it, and then it is a tad blurry for any objects moving in my finder, anyone kno what the deal is, and i am still under warranty so anyone know if mac will cover this?
    As well my keys especially the arrow keys and my space bar aalways see to lock up on me, where i have to like force it out of whatever the deal is, and just afriad that if i do break a key from pulling it out with enough force that it wont be covered and marked as 'accidental' or 'tempering with product'
    Thanks

    well, how old is it? the warranty that came with it from apple is 1 year, unless you bought AppleCare. If it is still in warranty, you should conact apple as soon as possible, if no, I don't know what to do other than pay for fixing it or live with it.

  • Phone 5 keyboard is slow

    Recently my iPhone 5 touch screen is acting sluggish. Any fixes for this. Hard reboot didn't work

    There is no such thing as a "Hard reboot".
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
