Virtual Keyboard Oddities

[cj100570]

I've had my MotoDroid for the last 3 days and I've been enjoying it immensely. I've run into an issue yesterday that's driving me nuts. Every now and then when I'm typing on the virtual keyboard it will register 1 key press multiple times. For instance, I can press the letter "A" once and have it appear 5 times. It even frequently registers a press on a key that I didn't even touch. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you solve the issue?

I think you have a defected button. I suggest return it and just get a new one. Don't even deal with those annoying issues during the first 30 days.

Have you tried to reset the phone since this behavior started occurring?

Some others have complained about the same issue. I personally have not experienced it yet.

I'll try resetting the phone and if it continues I'll take it back. The issue is intermittent but it's damn annoying.

I had the same issue. Two things, do you have the privacy screen protector on? Also does it only happen when you are charging the phone? I think either of those are the cause. I had both of those going on when mine was acting like that.

I have had the same problem with the virtual keyboard when charging. It is like it becomes extra sensitive. So i just slow down a little bit when typing. I will say that everyday I have gotten better and faster with typing using the virtual keyboard. I never use the physical keyboard. It just annoys me.

I was experiencing this when I had it plugged in to my blackberry storm's charger, which some how messed with the screen (the whole screen was acting erratically). It doesn't do it for the included charger, nor when it is unplugged.

I traded my unit in for a new 1 just to be safe and the new 1 does the same thing. And now that I think about it I do believe that it only happens while my phone is charging. I thought maybe my time with the Storm had ruined me for regular touchscreen phones. Lol.
