IPad typing causes double letters

When typing on the iPad the letter n and u frequently result in double letters also n can produce nm or mn also full stops can appear at random.
Are there any solutions to this problem?

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.

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

  • 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.

  • Typing at high speed causes double characters to not appear.

    Photoshop (any version) has historically had an issue with typing speeds. If you type too fast, double letters will come out as single letters. The previous line would've looked like this: "If you type to fast, double leters wil come out as single leters"
    This mainly happens when typing fast, and any of these conditions are met:
    - the file is big
    - you haven't restarted photoshop in a while
    - you've been doing some work (lots of history states)
    Basically, as soon as the memory fills up, Photoshop's responsiveness becomes pretty poor when you're typing.
    I don't expect a solution for this, other than a patch/update, since this is an issue on any machine with any (performance) settings.
    So basically, I'm just venting about something that's been bugging me for years and years, hoping for others to chime in on this too.
    I realize Photoshop isn't a text editor, but it's pretty impossible for me to type everything in a text editor before I type it in Photoshop; it'd kill my workflow.
    Cheers.
    .edit: noticed the ticked "mark this discussion as a question" too late. Shouldn't be marked as a question.

    Why would the OS drop events only to Photoshop?
    We only have this problem in PS, not in any other program.
    Even if the OS is dropping events to Photoshop, .... Photoshop might still be the problem, since it's the only program the OS is dropping event for, so why is that?
    You don't really need a fast typist to reproduce this, just quickly press the same key two or more times.
    You'll start to notice that sometimes Photoshop is "too busy" and just drops/ignores keypresses.
    If you could reproduce this problem, I'm sure you would also come to the conclusion that Photoshop is dropping or ignoring events, you can just see Photoshop hang for a second because it's too busy, and that's when it happens...
    Keep in mind Photoshop is running an a brand new, very powerfull computer with 16gb of RAM.
    So I'm sure the computer is fast enough.
    Is there anything I can do to help? I can easily reproduce the problem.
    Can I send you some logfiles? Do you have a debug program for me to run?
    Really, anything I can do, I would be happy to help.
    Maybe I can run some profiler on the windows keyboard message queue to provide you with more information to see where the events get lost?
    We are using CS4.
    Are there minor updates we can install? If so, where can I find those?
    I don't really want to get into the discussion wether this is a problem with OS or a problem with Photoshop, because really I don't know.
    I'm convinced it is Photoshop, you're not,... we both have our opinions, but they mean nothing really.
    What we need is cold hard proof, which means we need to debug/test this problem that is only occuring in Photoshop.
    All I really know is we have a problem that only occurs in Photoshop, so that's why we're bothering you with this
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for being such a difficult customer, but this is such an annoying problem.
    It would really mean a lot to us if this would get resolved.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

    Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?
