Keypad issue when typing

Hi.
I'm having keypad issues with my Blackberry Curve 3G. It has been fine all day but since about 5pm, when I press the green 'call' button, it has been bringing up the letters 'jk'. It also does the same thing when I type 'f', 'j', 'k' and use the caps button. Last time a software update fixed this, however I am now using the latest OS.
My daughter got hold of it earlier and had one corner of it in her mouth. Could this be the issue? Will it rectify itself once dried out?

8700g Strange Keypad Issue: Letters typed do not appear on screen

I support two 8700g users. I too am an 8700g user and have not experienced this problem: randomly and intermittently, the users report when they are typing messages on the keypad, strange combinations of letters appear instead. There is no apparent pattern to which keys are pressed, what order they are pressed in, or what appears on the screen; this, too, is random. This aggravating problem appears and disappears at will whether or not the battery is removed or not. Of the two units, one is brand new as of January 2008 while the other has had some exposure to water and has been wiped twice, once for this weird keypad issue. The language selected is English and the auto-text is off on both units. The units otherwise work according to specification. We are on a BES using MS Exchange. I have read on other boards sometimes there are identifiable patterns in what is keyed and what appears, but I have not been able to establish such patterns with these users. Can anyone offer a diagnosis and a permanent solution? Thank you.
Solved!

Thank you, Bifocals, for your reply! Memory is an issue, but more importantly a recognizable pattern DID emerge so I could identify and resolve the issue: when the user typed "a" they got "on on" and when they typed "no" they got "pt no pot" - which I learned is caused by the input language accidentally being changed to Catala. I learned via this and in other BB forums the input language can be easily changed when the ALT and CAP keys are pressed simultaneously, the old way of locking the keyboard on the BB 7250.
Eureka!
Thanks again,

Strange issue when typing a number in Lion

Hi,
I have a very rare issue when I type a number now and since I updated my system to Lion, no matter which program am I using, Safari, textedit, mail, etc. Every time I type a number (just one), it suddently erase itself, doesn't happen when I type more than one, it's very annoying and this didn't happen when I had Snow Leopard.
Any ideas?

…and so on = 58376163294144?
Could you please answer the questions, this is like drawing hens teeth.
I have entered the numbers but since I don't know how your sequence is input I can't do the preceeding numbers to the one that changes.
…which doesn't when I do it in Pages '09 v4.05:

Edge 15: Unsual keyboard keys issue when typing

I have a thinkpad edge 15 and I have had it for several years now and sometimes if I press on "e" ,"3" "the volume buttons" I get a different resposne on my screen.For example,I would type "e" then I might get a "p" or it may effect the volume.I need to find a way to resolve this issue.This laptop has had water spilled on it and has been dropped,but has been in a laptop case and I think that might be the issue,but I would appricate it if you guys can give me tips on how to resolve this issue.Thanks!!

Hi,
Im not sure if you have solved the issue you are having, but this happened because the connection on the end of the ribbon which connects the keyboard to the motherboard corrodes. We had about 20 laptops with this issue and solved them all by cleaning the end of the ribbon with a rubber.
Hope this helps!

Iphone keyboard issues lag when typing

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!!

Trackpad / Typing Issues When Outdoors

Hi,
I have a 9300 and have no issues when using it indoors. However, when I am outside, the cursor sporadically jumps throughout the screen and unusual characters (not regular letters) show up when I type. It makes typing on the phone impossible at times when I am outside. I am in Southwestern Ontarion - the weather is moderate, I am not talking about extyreme weather.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you have any examples of system extensions or accessibility features that might be the culprit? I have actually never heard of those terms before.

Satellite C50-A-1CK double characters appear when typing

All
I have a brand new Satellite C50-A-1CK which is perfect for my needs EXCEPT I continually get double characters appearing on screen when typing which is:
A. VERY frustrating
B. Wasting a lot of time as I have to keep correcting words to remove the duplicate characters.
Please does anyone know of a fix for this? It can affect any key on the keyboard and it doesn't matter if I type slow or quick, press the keys firmly or as light as possible.
Have checked for firmware updates but none available.
Thanks in advance!

The Touchpad issue you have I mayy be able to help with....
It sounds like you have the "Enable Edge Swipes" set on. This will bring up Windows 8 menu on the right hand side of the screen when ever you swipe from the right hand side of the keypad towards the middle.
Yours is a different model to mine but assuming the setting is in the same place then:
open Control Panel
Open Hardware and Sound
Under Devices and printers click "Mouse"
In the "mouse properties" window click on Device Settings
Highlight the touchpad and click the "settings" button below it
De-select "Enable Edge Swipes"
Hope this helps

Keypad issues after 7.1.1 update

I recently installed the latese update 7.1.1. on my iPod 4 and now am having issues when using the keypad when say typing in a facebook message or a comment on a forum. If I try and place the curser at a point previous in the typed message(to maybe add or correct some text) I cant, I need to close the keypad and open it again to continue. I never had this issue or any other issue using the keypad prior to installing this update. I have read that the 7.1.1 update was to fix issues with the keypad, well, it did the opposite on my iPad 4, it introduced some issues.

E90 Hanging when typing at length with backlight o...

When typing using the backlight on either Live Messenger, or writing a document on Word or a long message, the device completely freezes and blacks out, with both screens, keypads being unresponsive. I have to take the battery out and put it back in to make it work again.
This has only ever happened when I'm typing with the backlight on, and for a prolonged period. Backlight function is pretty much useless right now. Background apps are not the issue, and neither is any other function.
The backlight is basically useless right now.

What do you mean by backlight ? Backlight of the outer screen, of the inside screen or of the keyboard ?
Anyway, it sounds like a software or hardware problem, not a normal behavoiur. I never enocuntered anything like this in almost 3 years.
You can make a hard reset *#7370# to wipe out everything (make a backup in advance !) and see if it solves the problem. Otherwise, you might want to search for a replacement for E90....

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

Hi,
Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
* I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*

Serious screen lag when typing in fields with Safari, Chrome, etc.

With my MacBook Pro 15" i7 I'm experiencing a serious lag time when typing comments in posts online... like right now.. I'll type a few words and nothing shows up on the screen until I stop typing. Then the rest of the words leisurely fill in after I stop.
This happens in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. On my iMac 27" i7 and MacPro, using the same Airport wi-fi in my house, I do not experience this.
When I type in Mail, TextEdit, etc., as I type the letters show up as fast as I can type.
I've got 8GB of RAM, 4GB of free RAM, a MacBook Pro15" i7, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD with plenty of space on it, recently fixed permissions, checked disk with Disk Utility AND DiskWarrior, re-booted, cleared caches, checked for current firmware... what now?
This doesn't happen on my other Macs, so I know something is up with this machine. (I typed that entire last sentence in before anything showed up on the screen - then when I stopped, after a few seconds, the words filled in.)
Driving me bonkers! Can anyone offer a solution?

Im am having the same problems never happen before -15inch macbook pro i7 4 gb ram 500 gb 7200 rpm hd... curious that we both have the 7200 rpm!!?? ....On 2nd laptop same problem and after days with apple online and store -still no answer ....

[SOLVED] aterm and auto-scroll-down when typing

I've been using aterm for a while now, and before that urxvt.
What bothers me about aterm that I was very used to in urxvt was that, when you have scrolled up a bit, it doesn't jump to the bottom when you start typing.
Is there any way for aterm to behave like this?
Solved: I just found out about the scrollTtyOutput and scrollTtyKeypress options for .Xdefaults

Hi jzola and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Does this only occur when typing SMS messages or does it occur with BBM messages as well?
Thanks.

My keypad works when i dial a call then when I'm asked to dial extention the keypad doesn't work

My keypad works when I dial a call but when asked to dial extention the keypad does not work

tfoxx,
We want to make sure that everythig is working on the device without any kind of issues. When did you notice that the dial pad went away once a phone call is made or received? Do you have a screen protector on the phone that covers the sensors on the device? Please keep us posted.

Can I make a special character appear when typing? (Part 2)

Hi there
I am now working on an extended version of the issue describes in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3147856#3147856
The new field should hold digits in the format 9999-99999-99999-99, and I would like the hyphens to appear automatically when typing. I tried to modify the script I used before, but I can't get it to work properly. Can someone tell me, what I'm doing wrong?
My modified script looks this way:
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\-]/) == null)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 4)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 5 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 4)
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 10)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 11 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 10)
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 16)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 17 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 16)
    xfa.event.change = "-" + xfa.event.change; }
    var vMax = 16; if (xfa.event.newText.indexOf("-") != -3)
    vMax = 19;
But it only makes the hyphen at 17th character appear automatically.
I hope to hear from you.
