IPhone keyboard issues.

Been having iPhone 4S keyboard issues for about 3 months now.
In portrait mode- the P and 0 keys don't work (i.e. the key in the upper right corner) and in landscape the spacebar doesn't work
Sometimes keys will repeat themselves, and when you press the enter key occasionally it will just keep moving down.
Does anyone know what causes this?

You will have to relock the phone and see if that corrects the issue.
Once the phone is relocked, you will need to send it to Apple US and provide a US mail address to receive a replacement if they decide to replace it since you voided the warranty by hacking it.

IPhone keyboard issue = loosing my data since unable to unlock it!

Request to the Forum
Is there other ppl with the issue expalined below?
Note: I've already raised it as a feedback to Apple
Background
4 weeks old iphone 5S, no dammage
iOS7.
Showing vertical flashing lines, screen unusable
Happened when I was browsing it (Facebook)!
Request to the Apple Store support
Have the phone replaced
Keep my data (no backup yet made on it)
Issue
Not able to backup the data since not able to type my password!
Answer from Apple Store
We have to change it as we can't fix the screen
Your data will be wipped out --> Would you tell a user that he will loose his PC data since his keyboard doesn't work?!
Requests to Apple
Find a fix for this screen blinking issue as it is clearly a bug!
Apple stores to have a way to bypass the lock screen - No data privacy involved here! I own the phone and I know the password, just can't type in!

Again, I think you are mistaking 2 things:
1- Backup issue = hard drive related.
2- Lock screen issue = screen / OS related.
So yes, of course if I had backed up everything since day 1, and every single minute that won't be an issue...
HOWEVER, the issue here is that issue 1 and issue 2 are interconnected, where they SHOULDN'T!
Again, if I had broken my iPhone HD, that would be my fault, fine.
But here I am being told that my HD will be erased because having 2-, I cannot access 1...
It's liek having bought a car with electornic keys that after 4 weeks don't work and you're being told that to get back your wallet that is inside... well it's not possible because they have to destroy the car !
So now put it in any way you want, my self being in the IT area for some time, I can ensure you there's an issue with the design of this stuff.
Any case, I don't get the goal of your answer. The thread is to make things improve and the only thing you say is it's your fault without thinking much... nothing else to do in your spear time? ;-)

Entire iPhone keyboard issues.

Many people seem to be having issues with their home buttons or specific parts of their keyboards. For myself, my entire iPhone 4 keyboard stops registering from time to time. The keyboard works for safari and any downloaded apps, but when I type in system apps like mail and phone contacts, the keys show that they are being pressed but letters wont appear. I have tried soft and hard resetting it when this issue arises and nothing seems to help. After awhile the keyboard starts working for these apps again.
What steps should I take to get my iPhone back to normal?
Thanks, Spencer.

What steps should I take to get my iPhone back to normal?
Standard iPhone troubleshooting steps, in the order specified:
1. Power the phone off, then back on.
2. Reset.
3. Restore from backup.
4. Restore as a new device.
If no change after doing the above, make an appointment at an Apple store. Backup your phone before you go in case the geniuses replace it.

Issue with typing on keyboard on the iphone 5 with ISO 7 installed

Thank you so much, I was having this problem with a replacement Iphone 5 that was purchased from Apple today with iOS7 installed. I had no idea why this was happening as it didn't happen to my original iphone 5 when I installed iOS7.
Turning off documents and data in iCloud solved it straightaway. Really pleased, you saved me another trip to the genius bar!!

Original iPhone - Keyboard Issues

Hi, I have an original iPhone running the 2.0 firmware. It has been running fine for the most part since I upgraded, but this morning I noticed that the bottom row of keys on the keyboard has stopped working. All of the other keys are still working fine, but from the Caps-Lock key to the backspace button, nothing works. I'm on a trip right now without my home computer that I sync with so this is really frustrating.
Has anyone else had a problem with this? If so, do you know of a quick fix other than restoring the software?
Thanks for any help.

Wow! I am so glad I found this posting. I have been having trouble with a dead area of my screen for about two to three weeks now and it has been driving me nuts. I went to the genius bar where they told me my warranty was out of date. They did a reset and my guy went off for lunch while I was waiting!!!! One of the people on the floor gave me my phone back and said it should be OK. Went home, installed it as a new phone and same problem. It has been getting much worse. Delete keys in email and voicemail inoperative, keyboard totally out of control inserting two letters and random capital letters. Apps 'Muddled' I have to keep changing from landscape to portrait mode in order for buttons to be active. Extreme frustration. I had grudgingly made another appointment to go to the genius bar tonight and now thanks to this post I am going with the knowledge that it isn't 'just me.' Thank you again. pps My daughter is going today because her 3G is switching off randomly and I also found a thread regarding that. Double thank you.

IPhone keyboard in Landscape Mode

Hey,
Is any one else having the same issue ? Any solution is appreciated. When I use my iPhone keyboard in landscape mode (application - gmail) some of the letters in the keyboard don't pop-up. The keyboard inputs the letters in the mail however the on-screen prompt for a key being pressed (letters jumping up) does not happen. It happens for different letters each time. I have seen 'q' key do that .... r some times etc. It is not just the first row of letters too. I have seen other letters.
I reset the phone, restored it and even got a warranty exchange. I still have this issue. Any ideas ?
Peace...

IPhone Keyboard Entry Bug

When using "My Account" (bookmark), there's 2 field to insert.
One is "Wireless Number" and the other one is "Password".
I found out I mistyped one of the number of "Wireless Number"
after typing in 10 characters.
That field is 10 digit(phone # with area code) and I couldn't insert anything.
I mean even "backspace"(erase) didn't work.
Which means I couldn't change anything after typing in 10 characters.
I think it's definitely iPhone keyboard entry bug.
Please fix it ASAP.

Please call 1-800-My-iPhone to report this issue. A friendly Agent can log this and get it to the proper department.

Hp envy 14. Keyboard issues.

hey all,
ive been having an issue with my hp envy 14, with windows 7. This forum seemed the most relevent, as its a keyboard issue.
So whenever I turn my laptop on the keyboard is non-functional, so I turn it on with alt f5 I believe, this gets the key board functional, I can at this point type in my user password. Next as I type in my password, the capslock button has reversed itself, so when my keyboard shows caps on, caps is off and vice versa. Also, sometimes when im using my computer, it switches between recognizing caps is on or not.
I recently wiped the laptop, so I believe the issue to be internal.
This is frustrating to put it lightly, any help appreciated.

Hi @czrom
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with your keyboard. I am happy to help. Please post the full product number abd operating system so I can find the correct support pages and drivers for you. Since you mentioned that you just wiped the machine it is likely that some of the drivers are missing.

Is there a workaround for iPhone keyboard?

I absolutely, absolutely hate it. But I love everything else. What am I to do? Go back to Blackberry like so many others who are fed up with the iPhone keyboard? I can't go that far. So I'm hoping someone can direct me to something that makes this keyboard less frustrating. In 25 years of using Apple products, it is the only thing they produce that makes me swear on a regular basis.

wow. I honestly love the keyboard that apple provides. so much easier to type on. Sure people who uses the iphone for the first time may not be used to it the first time and can take a while to get used to, especially if you used the black berry keyboards. IMO...I can't stand any phsyical keyboard on mine. I type faster on my iphone then a phone with a phsyical keyboard.

MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010 using Mac OS X 10.8 Keyboard Issues.

Good day ASC,
I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010 upgraded to Mac OS X 10.8. It now has keyboard issues. Keys F4, 4, r, f, v, caps lock, space bar, and directional keys left and down do not work. I've been looking into the problem thinking it could be a software issue. Can anyone help?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You need to install the Windows support software in Windows to make it run properly. You have to download and install these drivers in Windows > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
After installing them, I recommend you to look for a newer GPU driver

Keyboard issue in Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro and today it developed a keyboard malfunction...the keys around the 'w' key (a, s, d, e) also insert a w when pressed with anything but the lightest touch...probably a bit of dirt or something in the keyboard, is there a way of getting the keyboard out to have a look? or other suggestions as to why this happens? it's very irritating!

I too have an issue w/ my Macbook Pro keyboard (2nd time since I've owned it) although this one isn't quite as severe as the one reported.
I started noticing over the past couple of weeks that when I type, I start hearing this odd "click" sound every once in a while. As I started to pay more attention to it, it appears that every time I hit the letter 'E', it sounds like the plastic beneath the key is loose or breaking (?). They key itself feels loose and I'm worried that its going to pop off. (this has happened on my Dell Inspiron a few times and its been an annoying issue ever since as it regularly pops off now).
Is this something covered under Applecare? (my previous keyboard issue was a couple of dead keys including the spacebar that required a new keyboard).
Also (side question), when I go to the concierge page to setup a time to visit an Apple Genius, there's GUEST and MEMBER login. Is Member login for those who have Applecare? If so, then what would the member number be? The Applecare agreement # doesn't seem to take.
Thanks,

Anything new with keyboard issues in XP

read alot of posts but doesnt appaer to be anything new on keyboard issues in XP. works for awhile then nothing.mouse does work. i dont have an old keyboard around i can use. was hoping it was something to do with XP settings.
any word ?

I seemed to have the same issues other people were reporting: USB keyboard would disconnect every five minutes or so, would sometimes re-connect by itself, would other times freeze and require re-plugging. The mouse would usually keep working even when plugged into keyboard. This would happen on all USB ports. It was most noticeable in Windows (through Boot Camp and through Parallels), but it would also happen less noticeably in OS X. In OS X, it would often recover without re-plugging, but errors would show up in the Console logs. It seemed to get worse the longer my computer was on.
Turned out, for me at least, to be a faulty keyboard. Although I tested the keyboard on another computer and it was fine, on the Intel iMac it had the disconnection problem. I repaired permissions, verified the disk, reset PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot, but nothing helped.
I called Apple about it. They replaced the keyboard under warranty, and since then (about two weeks) the problem has not occured once, in OS X or in Windows.
If you haven't done so already, I recommend thorough troubleshooting. Disconnect all other peripherals other than the mouse and monitor your logs in OS X (open Console under Utilities) to see if USB errors come up. Boot into in Safe Boot mode by pressing Shift on start-up. If the error still comes up in OS X, as it did in my case, then you have a valid problem you can call Apple about. If it happens only in Windows, unfortunately it might be harder to make a case since Boot Camp is beta software. When you call Apple you can desscribe all the testing you already did.

Textfield and keyboard issues

I have been hitting wall figuring out keyboard issues.
- As I have been experimenting, you can not do select on texts unless the text is input type. Please correct me if I am wrong. This actually invokes the virtual keyboard. Is there anyway to disable the virtual keyboard?
- When you tap on dynamic and input text fields and try to type something, the texts will become 200% bigger. What's explanation behind this? Any way to keep it normal?
I really appreciate if someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance.

Update:
- Just tested. To avoid text become bigger 200% go to Anti-Alias option and choose "Use Device fonts". Alternative, you can use TextInput component too.

Ibook g4 keyboard issue

I have an Ibook G4 that was purchased in Jan 2005. My 90 day phone support has dissolved however the laptop is still under hardware warrenty for 180+ days.
The right side of the spacebar sticks and is really annoying. How do I go about getting a replacement part from apple? I can't seem to find any other method to contact them other then phone and then it costs $49 for them to talk to me.
Thanks.

Amy welcome to apple discussions board.
I believe that within one year from the day of purchase you can still add apple care. that extends the technical telephone support from 90 days to 3 years and warranty from one year to three years.
I believe if an apple tech agent identifies your keyboard issue they can set it up for service. that means that you have to pay for any hardware replacement plus labor and shipping cost (both ways).
an alternative would be to contact an apple authorized service center, like CompUSA. hope that was useful. good luck and feel free to post back if have more questions.
