Some keys becoming way too sensitive

Hello - 9105 pearl user here
Have had my bb several months now but these past few weeks have noticed that a couple of keys have become way too sensitive - the 0 and the 2 keys which are adjacent to each other down the middle of the phone if that helps.
forever when texting these two keys will double key at the slightest touch - very annoying with the 0 as it puts a full stop in followed by a space. It also doesnt help that my passkey has both these numbers in and i have to be extra careful when keying this in !
The phone been fine for 6 months or so but I can't seem to stop this happening. Have removed battery and altered key rate but has no effect
anyone else had this or got any ideas ?!?
cheers

hello,
the 0 key and the 2 key are not adjacent to each other. Please check:
that being said, I suggest you go to your carrier helpdesk and have your device changed while you still have a warranty.

  • I just downloaded Lion. I noticed on the mail app that there is no down arrow on the righthand slider? The slider bar is way too sensitive.

    Hi Anne,
    Sad but true, no more scroll arrows anywhere... why? Because if you can't use something easily on an iPhone it's gone from iOS7

  • Touchscreen is way too sensitive!

    I have an iPhone 3g.
    The touchscreen is so sensitive, that it sometimes registers a touch even if my finger is a 1/4 of an inch away. The behavior comes and goes, and sometimes so bad that it is impossible to operate the phone at all, as all touches seem random.
    Restarting (powerdown, wait, restart) does not help.
    iTunes is up to date.
    iPhone software is up to date.
    The phone is relatively new, and has not been dropped.
    The screen has no scratches, or smudges, and is cleaned only with a moist (water only) cloth.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks to all your replies.
    We took the phone to the Genius Bar, where they said they had never seen this particular problem before. They changed out the touchscreen, but the problem persisted. It actually was kind of cool to be able to hover a hand over the phone and make random things happen. Anyway, they gave us a whole new phone.
    To Travel Clarkie: I also though about the weather, that it was some sort of static handling problem.
    We live in Southern California, where the humidity is low. The last 2 weeks have been much higher, actually up to 75%.
    However, this problem occurred while traveling, and did not seem to be tied to the weather.

  • My trackpad started acting strange - it is way too sensitive.  Even after I change the system prefs!

    My trackpad will register a click when my hand is just above it, and it will stay clicked for a few seconds.  It is becoming a huge problem.  This has just started happening a few days ago.

    THAT'S IT!  My spoon is ruined, but it's cool, cause now I realize that I have these powers.  I'll serve soup for dinner and have a little fun with the family!  HAHAHAHA!! 
    I made a wrist pad to rest my wrist on rather than relaxing it on the laptop (like I was use to doing.)   Now that my arm is raised off of the trackpad it doesn't do it as often.  Once in a while it does act as though I didn't let go of it and keeps objects or text selected.  I end up moving and tapping the thing until it releases the hold.  I'll focus my powers on this next time it happens.
    Thanks for the response!

  • Trackpad way too sensitive!  Are there settings for sensitivity?

    Hi, I'm really getting frustrated with the cursor jumping all over the place! Most of the time, it happens right when I'm starting to type something and my hand lightly touches the track-pad. Sometimes the wandering cursor will highlight something that it lands on and will replace what I have typed elsewhere once I make the first typing stroke. Arrrgh! I do have "ignore trackpad input when using keyboard" checked and that DOES work most of the time once I have started typing...but until I've started typing, anything seems fair game to the cursor!
    Also, when I'm not actively using the trackpad, I keep my hand just above it until the next gesture. Occasionally, my finger will lower ever so slightly and barely touches the trackpad and it will do things I wasn't intending to do. Any suggestions?

    Not that I'm trying to push you toward buying third-party apps, but shortly after I bought my MBP, I downloaded, installed, tried, and finally bought a substitute driver for the TrackPad called SideTrack, from RagingMenace:
    http://ragingmenace.com/software/sidetrack/
    It'll cost you 15 bucks (USD), but the developer is a really nice guy who actually answers to your email when you have questions about how to best use his application. Said application will let you completely customize your TrackPad, as it will for example allow you to assign a certain task to each corner of your TrackPad (eg, right-click for the upper-right corner, previous Web browser page for the lower-left corner, forward for the lower-right corner, etc...). Since I started using SideTrack, I rediscovered the simple joy of scrolling with one finger instead of two, and pointer erratic behaviors are a thing of the past.
    You can try the app without buying it for a month, I think, but be careful, it's addictive!

  • What are solutions for a way-too-big database?

    Hi guys!
    I'm a software developer and not very good in database designing. One day, I was asked something like this :
    "For example, there is a company with a web application. One day, the database for that application is way too big, caused performance issues and others, what is the solution for that application database?"
    At first, I thought that was about using multiple database with single app. But I don't know if I was right.
    I want to ask that what are the solutions? If it's "multiple database" then what should I do? Using two connection to 2 database simutaneously?
    I appreciate any replies. Thanks!

    Thanks Lubiez Jean-Val... for your links.
    I've got some more advices like :
    - "transferring workload to another database using different techniques to copy the data from original db"
    - "redesign of the database"
    So that means we use 2 different databases?Sometimes it is deemed desirable to keep only fairly recent data on the OLTP database, where the normal transaction activity happens, and replicate the data to another database that also contains historical data. This second database is used for heavy reporting tasks.
    And "redesign"?As in, design it from scratch and do it right this time. Make sure all data relations are properly defined to Third Normal Form; make sure all data is typed properly (use DATE columns for dates, NUMBER columns for numbers, etc); make sure you have designed effective indexing; make sure you use the capabilities of the rdbms and do NOT just use it as a data dump.
    See http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Oracle-Design-Osborne-ORACLE/dp/0072230657/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1301257486&sr=1-3
    are they really good solutions?Like most everything else, "It depends"
    It depends on if the proposed solutions are implemented properly and address the root problem. The root problem (or even perceived problem) hasn't yet been defined. You've just assumed that at some undefined point the database becomes "way-too-big" and will cause some sort of problem.
    It's assumed that we don't have or can't use partitioning.
    And why is that assumed? Yes, you have to have a version of Oracle that supports it, and it is an extra cost license. But like everything else, you and your management have to do a hard-nosed cost/benefit analysis. You may think you can't afford the cost of implementing partitioning, but it may be that you can't afford the expenses derived from NOT implementing it. I don't know what the case is for you, but you and your management should consider the factors instead of just rejecting in out of hand.

  • Apple mouse scrolling is too sensitive in Yosemite

    I've use a wired USB Apple mouse with scroll ball (A1152) on my iMac 27", and since upgrading to Yosemite, the mouse scrolling has been way too sensitive and doesn't allow any fine adjustment of scrolling speed/acceleration in system preferences. In the Mouse preference pane, the 1st position on the Scrolling slider is way too slow–a full scroll of the bar down moves about 1/4 of a full webpage at native resolution with very slow acceleration. The 2nd slider position is not any faster than the 1st. The 3rd slider position accelerates way, way faster, and scrolls a distance of about 8 full pages using a moderate flick of the scroll ball. At this high sensitivity, I need to scroll fairly carefully to move only one page. In a finder window with 500 items, it accelerates fast enough to move from top of the list to the bottom with less than one full finger swipe of the ball at moderate speed. Any setting from 3-8 on the Scrolling slider is the same speed and acceleration and is way too fast to use in a well-controlled manner. The behavior system-wide and is the same in any browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). This is nothing like how it behaved in OS X Lion through Mavericks over the past four years. Also, I can set the scrolling slide to the 3rd position, close system preferences, and go back in to find that it has set itself to the 2nd position, but the scrolling behavior is that of the 3rd position until I move the slider again.
    I've trashed some .plist files from ~/Library/Preferences/ that I thought would reset things (com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist and others) upon logout/login, but the behavior persists. I've tried a few pieces of software to try to override mouse settings, and while they will affect the mouse tracking speed and acceleration, they don't work well at controlling the scroll speed. I've reset the PRAM and SMC. I've created a new user account. Nothing has allowed usable adjustment of scroll speed/acceleration of the Apple mouse.
    Any suggestions on how I can regain in Yosemite the usable adjustment of scroll speed/acceleration that were in all previous OS versions would be appreciated.

    Try setting the scroll wheel scaling manually, by running the following command in the Terminal and then logging out and then back in to re-load the settings:
    defaults write -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling -float VALUE
    In this case, try values of 1, 0.5, 0.25, etc, decreasing in half each time to see how the scroll wheel sensitivity responds, and then use the one that works best. Alternatively, you can use the system preferences to set the sensitivity to the two values you have used so far, followed by running the following command between each to see what the value is for each:
    defaults read -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling
    Then you can determine some intermediate value to use, and use the first command above to set it to that value (again followed by logging out and then back in so the value will load).

  • Use Trackpad to zoom in and out - Too sensitive in Safari 4

    Hi, I just installed Safari 4 three days ago. Without changing any settings, now I found out that when I use trackpad to zoom in/out the font, it responses too sensitive than it did in previous Safari. It jumps up/down at least two levels every time I try to adjust the font size. It is not that controllable anymore.
    Has anyone else noticed this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro. The zoom feature is way too sensitive for my liking, however, there is no way at the moment to control it. As this is a Beta version, these oddities will occur. Hopefully, when Safari 4 is released in final version (no date yet announced) this problem will be fixed.
    As I previously did, let Apple know what you are experiencing with the trackpad via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. If you want to go back to Safari 3, use the Uninstaller that's included in the Safari 4 Downloads package. This is the only safe way to go back to Safari 3.

  • Touchpad too sensitive on G580

    Friends
    My wife is using a Lenovo G580 with Win 8.1 and she complains that the touchpad is way too sensitive. Sometimes she hardly touches the surface, or even just touch the side of the touchpad and the computer does weird things. Is there a way to de-sensitive it? Or, can it be de-acitvated? The latter is not a good option as she uses it on her lap often and cannot use an external mouse at that time.
    Thanks
    Carl

    Hi Calle2014,     
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.                                 
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with touchpad very sensitive in your Lenovo G580 laptop.
    As you have mentioned that the touchpad is very sensitive please go to control panel select mouse.
    Select pointer option tab, under pointer option tab tick on enhance pointer precision and also set pointer speed to minimum or to the neutral and click on apply and ok. Now check for the issue.

  • Magic wand too sensitive

    Recently upgraded to CS3 (from CS1) and suddenly I'm finding the magic wand tool worthless. It's way too sensitive. If I try to use it to select just the contiguous black part of my image, for instance, it's selecting almost the entire image, everything from black all the way to 50% values or less. This is with my tolerance setting at 2! It was never like this before.
    Is there a new default setting somewhere that's causing it to sample from a larger area, maybe? When I'm clicking on the black area, is the wand sampling everything in the vicinity and trying to select everything in that entire range? Whatever it is, how do I change it? Tolerance has absolutely no effect on what it selects, now. The tool is simply of no value the way it's working now.

    Thank you SOOoooooo Much!
    The eyedropper tool connected to the wand? How would I know that?
    Is it really that hard to add it's own drop down to select the selection size.
    Adobe, if you read this, listen. The amount of excise to switch tools, change that setting, then come back to the tool I was just on is not worth the 10min saved during implementation to only have one drop down for this.
    You basically invented the adaptable toolbar with butcons, please, please use them.

  • Macbook touchpad too sensitive

    I have a Macbook Pro running all the latest software (i.e. patches are all up to date). Since I purchased the Macbook I've noticed that the touchpad is way too sensitive. I'm often using it without a mouse so having the touch turned on is nice, but it is so sensitive it is constantly clicking when I don't want it to, no matter how soft I try to use the pad.
    I can't seem to find a way to adjust the sensitivity.
    Anyone know how to do this, or do I need to turn off touch-to-click options?
    Thanks!
    Clark

    1. System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad
         Double-click speed
        Try adjusting the speed a bit lower.
    2. Shutdown the computer.
        Clean the Trackpad with a dry microfiber cloth.

  • Trackpad too sensitive, where is the windows 8 setting to change?

    Hello,
    I have a X230 2306CTO with Win 8. My trackpad is way too sensitive and can be problematic when using a word processor. I would like to change the sensitivity settings, but can't find the trackpad settings in control pad under win8. I also do not have the little trackpad icon in the right corner of my desktop either (it is not hidden). Is this icon shortcut available in win8? If so, can you please provide me the link to download the driver.
    Thanks,

    Is there any way to make it even LESS sensiti've?
    Thank you,

  • I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

    I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

    Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
    One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
    Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.
    The manual is in Safari on your phone; its a predefined bookmark. You can also download a PDF:

  • Just purchased MBP (frm Apple) TrackPad much too sensitive! Any way to adjust?

    Any way to adjust track pad sensitivity?

    By too sensitive I mean:
    Trackpad seems to take on a life of it's own particularly when deleting:
    just hovering the cursor over the delete icon results in activating delete.
    That's just one example - but the most dramatic and easiest to explain.
    More if you need 'em.

    Bob
