Keyboard has become less responsive for Xperia - XPERIA X1 General

the keyboard buttons have become very unresponsive..and i have to press really hard.
is anyone else having same problem?
even chinese generic keyboards have a longer lifespan.

either too responsive or unresponsive...this is really a ****ty keyboard..

I am facing the same problem too. But its soem keys that are "problematic" for me, namely, "c" "x" "," and sometimes, the backspace key does double when i only press it once.
Definitely will send in for warranty before its up end of the year.

My X1 keyboard definitely seems a lot more sluggish than when I bought it. But, I don't think it is a hardware problem, but rather something not right with the software. I even turned off auto-complete to no avail. If you are a quick typer, you can actually keep typing and the X1 will eventually catch up because it is buffering all the keystrokes.

I asume too that this problem is releated to windows mobile.
In some Programms i have to wait till i see what i am writing.
In other programms i have double writing of the buttons that i press.
I asume that the Keyboard driver is maybe broken.
Windows Mobile too is not really stable.
If the Phone is more than tree days without any reboot it becomes heavy instable.
Paintings of the Windows and startup of Programms is heavy Slow.
Only a reboot resolves the Problems for a while.
What makes me also thinking is if windows mobile has some memory leaks.
The Memory usage growth with the time even if nothing is running.

I am experiencing the same problem. When I write I either get a double space or no space from pressing the space bar...

I am experiencing the same problem... and I don't believe it's a software issue... I thought my xperia was flawless.. it's not!

I have the same problem, just recently but it with only my space bar - i have to press it a few times for it to work.... Very Annoying!

i only get it with the space bar. either it does not make a space when pressed of it makes 2 spaces.
all the other buttons seem ok

Same with me. Most noticeably is the spacebar's slow responsiveness. My x1 is ill.

I have been having the same problem. Its very very irritating. Sometimes i have to press the key very hard or sometimes its just one press and the alphabet comes 2-5 times. Its really irritating.
I thought it was a software issue and i have got R3A installed 2 days ago but the problem still exist.
The experia keyboard is useless.

testing testing testing testing.
works fine for my x1i.

Same for me...

take out your battery and clean the keyboard using a air canister try running something sharp around the buttons you having problems with and blow some air to the back open area that should help out

Hey, I have the same Problems with my Keyboard. Very irritating. My X1 was once at the repair service but the Problem is still there. Now I will send my X1 to the repair service again. I hope my X1 will work fine after that.
Does anyone know whats the Problem here ? Is it the Keyboard inlay ( hardware ) or dust ?!

same problem with the keyboard.
when i press some letters (n, a, l), the comma, and space bar, i get double letters or double spaces.

more persons with this problem....hmm.... does anyone know what´s SE saying about this ? .....

buttons problem in P3600

Hi All,
I have a strange problem, tried to search the forum,
without success...
Sometimes the OK button doesn't response (both OK buttons...),
only clicking OK on the screen works.
another issue - sometimes when clicking the action button nothing happens, or even worse - it acts like a long press even when I press it really shortly...
Any one else had such problems?
Is it (as I guess) a hardware problem?
I have the same problem and I dont think its the hardware cause the button is not presented in "buttonmapping" in the controlpanel. This has worked before. Please respond if you solve the problem.
Mine does it on occasion. Pretty sure it's software and It seems to happen with the same apps each time. Make note of what apps you have running when it happens.
Just started doing it again but I realized that I have never had a prob with the OK or Start Menu buttons but rather the softkeys. In Today Agenda, the left key (edit) stopped working and then a few minutes later the right key (menu) stopped working. I closed all apps and the problem persisted with every appointment I opened. Soft reset fixed it.
I should also add that I am not using the latest version of Today Agenda because I have not figured out how to make it look like the version I am used to.
Might be related: a lot of games I have tried don't seem to support the softbuttons, phone buttons, or really much else besides the directional pad and center select button.

funny screen problem?

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a very weird problem, with my Trinity (actually a p3600i).
When I'm using my thumb or fingers to type on any SIP, sometimes the start button is pressed even though I'm no where near the start button!
I'm not sure if it's happened when NOT using SIP.
I've noticed that it only happens when using my thumb/fingers. If I use my nails to type the problem never happens. Same when using the stylus, no problems...
Anyone know what is going on here? It can be very annoying sometimes.
Thanks for reading!
OK I just made it happen when just in the today screen.
Doesn't just happen when using any SIP...
Happens when I'm tapping in the bottom left region of the screen in portrait mode.
you are not alone
have the same problem, occurs couple of times a day, and as you noticed when using fingers. we are not the only ones, many (really!) trininty users report the same problem. finally it may result in widely known problem related to flickering start menu button and irreactive touchscreen.
i noticed one more thing: when you disable sound for screen taps from sounds and notifications menu the erratic reactoin seems to go away, not completely, though because i still manage to cause false start menu activation by chaotic screen tapping in phone mode.
read this topic, sorry to disappoint you but imho this is our nearest future

looks like i will need to send it to them for repairs
and nothing ever returns back the same, when it goes to get repaired

Hermes Screen Error

I have only just noticed this weird error with the screen of my phone. I have read of similar problems but I haven't seen anything the same as mine. I have a feeling that it is something to do with the keyboard. Some buttons don't work properly and the start menu constantly flickers. If the start menu stops flickering for a minute then when I press the center button the start menu pops back up, same thing happens if i press space on the keyboard. This happens in both portrait and landscape so its not the same as the screen alignment problem. I have uploaded a (dodgy) video to youtube if it helps anyone: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fva2ZJL5egY
Thanks in advance.
I now have a feeling the problem is with my keyboard. The o, l and p keys dont work unless i mash them really hard for 5 minutes and the delete key doesn't work sometimes. This is making me think that the start button might also be acting up. Anyone have any ideas? If I can't get this fixed by the weekend then I'll probably get an iphone.

Centre Windows Button Not Working - Just Me?

Any one else had issues with the centre windows button not working?
I'm not sure if it's hardware as in the button is actually not working or more of a software freeze. An example would be on the home screen pressing the windows button and literally nothing happens. touching start in the top left however works everytime.
A simple power on/off of the device solves the issue but its been happening a few times this week and is becoming annoying.
The more apps and tweaks I do to my phone, the more unstable it seems to get. Has anyone else noticed this? Just little things, like for example a few times my lock screen with "password" has reverted to windows classic style but then a screen off / screen on will bring it back again to the WM6.5 lock screen with slider.
Just overall slightly odd behaviour.
I may have recently installed something that the device doesn't like too much, but if so I am unsure what software it is. I'm tempted to save all patches I have, and write down the adjustments I've done and perform a hard reset, the phone definitely was not like this when I got it only 2 weeks ago.
I wonder if anyone else has had anything similar or if its just my phone?
Seems like a hard reset is required. My o/s seems very stable, the only problem I have in that regard is the odd freezing of the messaging app.
It just happened to me after reading this post :-O
another hardware failure case...good job HTC...

@dgtel2
Could you please explain how this "hardware failure" is temporarily fixed by a reset?
Another "reading failure", and simply blame HTC. Good job dgtel2.
When we reset, we need to hold the "call-off" button. That's not a good design due to excessive pressure to the edge of the "capacitive" screen. They should have introduced separate turn-off button. Over time, the buttons/screen will get affected (but for new unit, it's pretty unlikely...).
So, to reset using the red reset button, it is located underneath the "so-hard-to-open" back cover. Over time, again, will affect the capacitive screen.
But, the problem could be due to both hardware and software issue. Just send it back to the vendor. Less headache...
Yeh its definitely not a hardware fault. Its more like a freeze or slight confusion between WM6.5 and sense somewhere along the line....
I've thought of another thing which would also come under this weird behaviour category.
I noticed today whilst watching a video on the youtube app, using the up and down volume buttons on the side of the device would make the video freeze for abpproximately 1 second each time the button was pressed, it would change the volume up or down, but the bar would not appear on the screen so you have no idea what the level of volume actually is.
again soft reset solved this, but its just another on of those weird things
Back up and hard reset all the way.

Don't use excessive pressure.
Why the "" round capacitive?
just a "make-up" ...lol ... again...those "..."

Stock keyboard spacebar doesn't always respond

Using stock keyboard i found that my typing was constantly getting words grouped together. Then I noticed that when I hit the space bar I always get the hepatic feedback but the cursor doesn't always move when spacebar is pressed. Sometimes I have to hit it 3-4 times. Anyone else have this problem.
I have the same problem, but I don't know a fix. I hate anything but stock keyboard. I refuse using another keyboard
even im facing the same issue!!!! lets hope a fix from google in feb update!!!but ive to press it twice and not 3-4 times
Huh, I've never had this problem. Perhaps try to reboot into safe mode to rule out rouge apps and see if the issue persists?
