IPhone keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes"

When I try to type the word "fixes", the iPhone (3G, with iPhone OS 2.2) keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes". If I hold down my finger for the last letter, and move it left and right, I can see that it is refusing to allow "S" to be typed. It switches between "A" and "D".
I have seen other examples of this in the past, where the keyboard simply refuses to type some letters, but never on a common English word before.
Has anyone found a way around this, other than accepting the wrong letter, backspacing, and re-typing?
Cheers,
Will.

All this time, I thought it was me...I couldn't for the life of me type my daughter's name, Caitlin, into the phone. I would always get C-A-I-R-L-I-N. Again, thought it was just me not being able to hit that key right, though I don't really have a problem with anything else. Then this weekend, I finally tried to force the phone to type it right by trying to slide my finger to the "T", and it was completely skipped over. I went back and forth from "R" to "Y" several times. Nope, the "T" refused to be typed. Now that I know it's a confirmed bug, I feel a little bit better about my iPhone typing skills.

    Hey idontevenknowwhattodoaboutthis,
    It sounds like you may be having issues with a Wi-Fi connection. If you have determined that the issue is with your phone and not with the particular Wi-Fi hotspot you are using, then you will want to use the following article to help you troubleshoot this:

  • TS1398 My iPhone 4S won't let me turn the wifi on!

    Hi! My iPhone won't let me turn the wifi on, the option is greyed out in settings and the control centre doesn't work-it doesn't turn on either. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks xxx

    Hi Lullita.
    This is a common problem on iphone 4s using ios 7.
    I have had this problem myself.
    Try basic troubleshooting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    If that doesnt help, try this.
    Go to youtube and type this " 4s wifi grey" ... You will find a couple of videos describing a method which includes blowdrying your phone and puttin it into freezer. This method does fix your wifi, I know I have tried it myself, and it brought back my wifi and bluetooth, which were greyed out.
    But be very careful, this method can damage your device if youre not careful enough. Do this at your own risk.
    Hope I helped.
    Donnie.

  • I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

    I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    Hi OllySpyrou
    If our BlackBerry ever got wet then we should not try to Turn it ON to see if it works . Should immediately remove the Battery , also SIM  and Media Card. We should place it in a bag of Uncooked rice which absorb the moisture . Should leave it for atleast 3 to 4 days unless we are sure that moisture has been completely absorbed . Then we should place our BlackBerry on any heat emitting surface like stabilizer , Or in the dashboard of a car on a sunny day. Before inserting the battery we should be sure that it is completely dry.
    Have you done this after your device got wet ?
    Still after following those steps it is not guarantied that our device will be trouble free and will perform as earlier , because when moisture or any liquid substance enter our BlackBerry  it starts corrosion which leads to problem like quick battery drainage , problem in typing and many more .
    In all condition we should try to avoid our BlackBerry from any moisture intrusion or any liquid , liquid or moisture is the worst enemy of our BlackBerry or any electronic devices. 
    If its already too late then you should visit any mobile repair shop to know if they can repair it .
    Good luck.

  • HT204053 I want to change the apple ID for iCloud in my iPhone so that it's the same ID used with my iPad and Mac. When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, it won't let me change the current apple ID - how can I do this?

    I'm hoping to sync iCal via my four apple devices through the iCloud.
    Unfortunately, I used two different Apple IDs when setting up the iCloud accounts on the devices.
    How can I change the Aplle ID associated with my iPhone so that it's the same one used for my iPad and desktop?
    When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, the apple ID that appears is greyed-out and will not let me click on it to change it.
    Any suggestions?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

    Sounds like a redemption code rather than a serial number.

    Start with basic troubleshooting.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.
    One of these is likely to help.
    Also, verify that in Settings > General > Network > that Cellular data is turned on.

    Thanks Bob,
    That was just a typo.
    I have three accounts set up in Mail, one of which, apart my the username which is my son's, has exactly the same settings as the one that isn't working and remember it's affecting all my devices.
    I would feel happier even if I could create a fourth account on my MacBook Pro using what I know to be the correct password for the server but when I try it keeps defaulting to imap type, I don't get an option for Pop which is what I need.
    Oh Bum.
