IPhone 3G Keyboard Bug/Problem/Feature? Can anyone reproduce this?

Hi -
I'm now on my 3rd iPhone 3g (16GB, Black) and I'm still having trouble with it.
As of now I cannot comment on reception/3G issues, since I have only had this particular iPhone for about an hour and a half. However, I've encountered a strange problem when trying to enter a company's name in Contacts on multiple iPhones after multiple restores from Recovery Mode.
Please help me reproduce this and figure out if it is intended behavior or not; both the Rockaway and Bridgewater, NJ Apple Stores did not seem to know.
Here is what I am doing:
1) Go to contacts (via either the phone menu or the Home Screen Icon)
2) Click the plus sign on the top right
3) Click "First Last" as if to type in a name
4) Click in the 3rd field, for Company
5) Type "R.I.T.A."
6) Hit backspace once or twice...
What occurs is quite strange - the whole text field will sometimes delete itself, "click-click-clicking" along the way as if I am hitting backspace over and over again.
I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.
Thanks.
-Scott

sburck; I have had the same thing happen to me when drafting an email. I type several sentences and then all of a sudden it starts doing backspaces deleting characters until I stop it by hitting some letter.It has erased in this matter whole sentences before I could stop it, and has done this maybe a half dozen times. This really sounds to me to be a bug. Since there is no hard key to stick, this is most likely something in the firmware/software. I have only seen this so far when writing a email.

  • Can anyone reproduce this bug?

    Mac OS X 10.4.11, with an active Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection and some other windows open, the mouse-pointer disappaers when it is placed on the RDC Window and the Exposé feature "Desktop" is used...

    It would be good if you wrote the smallest possible program that exhibits this behavior.
    That would be for testing -- it's easier for you, and for other readers of this forum, to test the hypothesis that getDefaultToolkit does something weird to the JVM, on a wide variety of environments, etc. Also if it is a bug such a test program would help Sun fix it.
    You may want to try running your program with the JVM option that shows garbage collection events. Just a hunch, it may show something interesting.

  • HH3 firmware problem or can anyone explain this?

    Hi All,
    I am getting fairly frustrated with the problem in that I set my Win 2008 R2 server on DHCp and tell the router to "always use" 192.168.1.75. My remote services all work when i setup the port forwarding but when I come back the next morning not nothing works and my router table shows the detail below.
    I have tried another HH3 but wondering if this is a firmware problem in the router or is there any reason why Win 2008 r2 would cause this problem?
    Any advice as I am at the end of my rope here?

    Once you have configured your server to a static IP address, you must remove any entry in the DHCP table of the home hub. On the earlier home hubs you could just delete the name of the device and it was gone.
    Not sure about the HH3, you may have to reset it to factory default.
    Looking at your logs, its still trying to allocate and address from the DCHP pool, which is why you are having problems.

  • Can anyone Reproduce This screencast? Strange behavior from Mac

    1.  Open finder and click go
    2.  go to /var
    3.  click on var alias and go to at file
    After you open the /var/at folder there is a file called at.deny
    4.  Click on the file called at.deny and open with other application
    You can only open it with Imessage, applemail or text edit.  Notice in the screen cast that it automatically sends the at.deny file to any address that I type in I message. 
    5.  You can also click on chron.deny and you can send that file automatically in Imessage or applemail.  IS THIS NORMAL.

  • Color wheel settings "jump" after making adjustments - can anyone reproduce?

    Hi,
    Been noticing something very odd with Speedgrade lately, and I'm pretty sure it never happened with any of the earlier versions:
    Making a large color adjustment to a clip using my Tangent CP200 panel (say, pushing the marker towards where the color ring begins), and then leaving the tab by switching to another layer, clip or even just shadows/midtones/highlights, will result in the marker having jumped MUCH further in the same direction. So if I had pushed it towards cyan on the inner edge of the color ring, the marker will suddenly find itself near the outer edge - however, the color will be unaffected until I actually move the marker again.
    At first I assumed this was due to the CP200, but it also happens with the panel unplugged and using the mouse to drag the marker. It happens consistently and seems to scale linearly with the displacement. I'm assuming that Speedgrade is "misremembering" the position of the trackball or the virtual trackball marker, not the actual color settings. This is consistent with the fact that the same effect does not occur when using slider (mouse) or editboxes (keyboard) modes UNLESS I touch the CP200. At the same time, it seems to be related to Speedgrade and not to the panel, because the effect is dependent on the number of pixels the marker is moved on the screen, not the distance traveled by the physical trackballs. It also happens both in DirectLink and standard modes.
    I've tried all the related settings, but nothing seems to apply. If this is a bug, it's pretty serious, as it makes going back for "minor adjustments" very problematic. Can anyone reproduce this, with or without a CP200?

    Having participated near daily on this forum for a couple years now, this isn't a common issue but it does happen. Please file a bug report (they do actually quantify these for choosing what to budget fixing time allocations on) ...

    Sometimes it's been (as for you) during someone using a surface, there's been problems with Wacom tablets having this issue also, and a few people with (as I have) a Kensington track-ball they use for working the wheels. In fact, it's much more likely with a Wacom especially using the pen tool than any other input device, I think. I've never really noted if my Wacom has this issue because of the way I use my tools ... I'm a lefty, so the pen-tab is on my right, keyboard in center, Kensington "Expert Mouse" 2" trackball with surrounding ring & four large paddle-style buttons on the right. That trackball/ring gets all my color-wheel work. It was occasionally glitchy back in the CS6 release and to the dot-upgrade to the first CC release, but has been pretty stable since. I've had to re-adjust the sensitivity of the controls in Sg for every release, however.

  • Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?

    Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?
    <Edited by Host>

    Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
    ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
    IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out.

    The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?

  • The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

    Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

    If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

    i can't restore my iphone 4..keep error 3194 can anyone help me out?

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore.
    If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore.
    If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above.
    If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • HT4623 After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,Can anyone help.thanx

    After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,can anyone help

    My suggestion:
    Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
    It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
    After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
    In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
    Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
    1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
    2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
    3.Sync your device again.
    It probably will help you.
    Good Luck
