I will try this thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgymnop:
It happens even without a charger but the charger makes it worse. I use the charger that came with the phone and I can barely type without that it registers wrong keys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harlenm:
I use better keyboard 8 which is awesome. I also have the HTC keyboard installed, and that is pretty good as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
OH.. another selling point on Smart Keyboard.. I know a lot of you complaining of having "fat fingers".. Smart Keyboard allow you to resize the "height" of the key in both landscape and portrait. So essentially you can make your finger foot print larger. REMEMBER TO CALIBRATE AFTER YOU CHANGE THE SIZE!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n19htmare:
I though it was me. Coming from an iPhone, I had expected to be better but I was wayyyyyyy worse on the Gingerbread keyboard.

I tried Swype and I'm not a fan, much slower than touch typing in my opinion.

So now I'm using Swiftkey X, Keys are taller and it helps out a LOT. Give it a shot, Plus it's very good at prediction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] verncat05:
Glad to read hear that I'm not crazy. I just came over from iOS and texting was the only negative due to the keyboards. I have been using the gingerbread keyboard and like it, but I may try smart keyboard next...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lanisan:
Calibration

Hey guys.. Here's my two cents and hopefully they help. I was experiencing the same problem but not just with the keyboard but with occasional taps etc. My primary example is (sidebar) when I would load engadget, click on a topic and go to the comments... exceeept.. each time I'd click on comments the comments wouldnt come up. I was able to replicate the same problem when playing pocket legends and the mistyped words. I would find myself always going back to correct or retype or a letter just didnt register. I am using the GB keyboard. I am on stock rom, rooted.

Here's what I did and it (so far) seems to have immediately fixed my problem.. (crossing fingers it stays this way) ..

Settings -> Display -> Calibrate Horizontal and Gyro Sensors. Engadget is still touchy when going to comments or any icon in the upper right. NEVER had this problem on my Cappy. I have some time to play with it and see if the problem goes away. if it doesnt, this'll be exchanged or replaced before the 30 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Matt112211:
Just a little higher...

I also come from an IOS background, and I think that for me I know what is changed that makes me miss the keys so often, I am pressing too low on the keyboard. On IOS, if you press right in the middle of two keys (and upper and lower), then it will pick the upper key. It seems that in Android, you just have to press a little higher on the key.

Instead of trying to hit the letter, try to hit just above the letter and you will find you are hitting the keys more often. It worked for me. It is just a difference in how the two systems interpret your touches and coming from IOS, you have gotten so used to their style that you forget what it was like in the beginning of using that. After about a week on a given keyboard, I think that you will find your accuracy up a lot.

As for keyboards, I am currently using SwiftKey X (got it from amazon one of the days that it was free). I do find that with this keyboard as with most of the android keyboards, they take up too much screen space vertically. I am sure that there is some patent prohibiting android from doing something a little closer to IOS, but i am sure that after a few weeks, I it will not really make a difference.

I'm using smart keyboard pro cause I too had this issue. With smart keyboard pro you can calibrate with in the settings and it seemed to really help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsmith8858:
Another vote to try Smart Keyboard Pro. And, the free version is missing tons of features from the pay one, so you can't really evaluate it too well based on that, but it really is a nice keyboard and very customizable. My favorite feature is that you can set it up so that when the keyboard is showing the volume keys move the cursor forward and back, this is extremely useful to me when trying to edit text.

Also, you can assign swipe actions, like swipe left on the keys erases the previous word or swipe up activates voice input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] manbeer:
Try better keyboard pro. I have used tons of different keyboards and it works the best for my sausage fingers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
if we're voting on keyboards, I have throw my 2 cents in for AI Type Keyboard. They have a free beta app in the market. Its not a swype keyboard though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] verncat05:
just switched from Gingerbread to Smart Keyboard Pro and I must say it is awesome! By far the best after you calibrate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
Yeah I have no more typing issues at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Matt112211:
New Favorite...

Looks like I have a new favorite keyboard for Android. I tried it out, and I must say, I do like the Smart Keyboard Pro. Knocks out all the issues that I was having with SwiftKey X.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stickbo:
Smart keyboard's calibration deal fixed my issue. Thanks guys

Maybe the issue is with calibration and not with keyboard selection. Does anybody know if there is an app to calibrate the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I've not seen one in all the searching I've done. I know there's a dialer code (*#0*# - touch) that simulates and traces where your touch registers on the screen. I actually did this when I first got the phone and it seemed to be properly calibrated. But for whatever reason, keyboard input was still off for me.

But like many others here have said, Smart Keyboard Pro is the clear option for me.

Oh and btw, if you choose to do that touch option in the dialer code, you have to trace all the squares on that screen to exit back out. Just a fyi. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Recalesce:
I still prefer Swiftkey X over Smart Keyboard Pro. :[
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
The crazy thing about all this is that I've been using smart keyboard pro across three different devices and this is the first one I can't type for crap on. I'm thinking it's because the screen is so slippery but I can't be sure.

Also it seems to be getting better and better each day that passes as if I'm getting used to it. Even though my last device had the same exact screen size.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ayoo456:
Yea Im a lil upset at this. I have 4 keyboards now and they all seem to be off just a lily bit.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I've determined that there is something calibrated differently with this screen. My finger always seem to slide from one key to the next causing an inaccurate input.

Also I find the screen does other strange things as well. Such as, when I place my finger on the home screen to add a widget the screen will think I'm trying to change home screens and starts to move rather than register that I'm holding my finger on the screen

Seems overly sensitive or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] E_D_M:
I'm right there with you. And I hate the fact that when I text in landscape mode the preview window disappears. I end up missing text message unlike on the iPhone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zoso28:
I have this issue on multiple phones when the charger is plugged in, especially with 3rd party chargers, but if you're having the problem all the time, try TouchScreenTune..

There's a trial to see if it helps which only sticks until the screen goes off (until you buy for $5). Even if you don't want to pay, its a good diagnostic tool. My SGS2 is fine, but I use it on my note and it def helps. Lemme know if it helps your problem, as I might put it on my SGS2.

PS. It only works on the Note & SGS2

I just got a Motorola tx500 handsfree kit and paired it with my SGSII. It works great for almost everything. BUT... Voice commands only sometimes work. If I press the send button on the car kit, it sometimes launches Voice Talk. Boy it is sweet when it works, but it doesn't always work. Any ideas on why?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Hey guys, just recently got a G2x coming from a MT4G.

I'm on the latest CM7 nightly and for some reason I'm having a big problem getting both of my SD card and internal memory to mount. I know I have the drivers installed as I had to do so to be able to root the phone.

I plus the phone into the comp via USB and my computer doesn't read anything.

Even when I go to the latest CWM recovery (5.0.2.6) and go to Advanced and mount my USB through there it still doesn't read it.

Any reason why this is doing this?

I mounted it fine when I was on stock ROM yesterday, but having no luck mounting it now.

Any response would be greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Are you using the same USB cable? Same USB port as the one that worked yesterday?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Thanks for the response.

Yes I'm using the same cable and the same USB port as yesterday. I'm dumbfounded :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I know fauxs aosp rom doesn't have this problem and I think it should mount both sdcards on recovery mount storage,not too sure if it will mount internal SD on latest nightly while phone is on with debugging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah I tried it while debugging was on and off and no luck. So I just gave up and flashed WeaponG2x and it worked perfectly.... Now I just tried EaglesBlood and it still won't work!

This is so frustrating... I'm loving the phone so far but this is killing me. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Yea I hear ya, I hate how they partition these phones internal storage. Pretty much everyone that has or uses an android smartphone prefers to buy a much larger external microsd card, be it anywhere from 4-32gb. I'd rather they not partition storage and let us use that space for installing apps/games on internal then put our music or movies/media on external sdcard.

Plus issues like these where USB drivers wont detect the internal/external sdcards is very annoying and confusing when coming from a phone like we had.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah seriously. I've never had this problem with any other phone. You think it's a driver problem that it works on stock based ROM's but not on CM7 based?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Yep exactly, very poor driver support from LG, read up on it on the general section and even here on q/a threads, there's tons of people that have had these issues.

Could have been avoided too if LG wouldn't have messed with the internal storage I bet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Thanks man. So there's nothing I can do then? You don't have this problem with CM7 right? It's just me and some people?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I've tried using a different cable and still no go....

How irritating, I guess I'm forced to use WeaponG2x...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
My phone still does this crap even on cm7 and fauxs aosp rom too. Its very annoying and even tho I love the phone tons im still looking forward to a new device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Oh, I didn't know you had this as a permanent problem too. I guess it's good to know I'm not the only one. I love this phone too. But damn this is annoying.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
So I've been having a problem with my phone that I've never had before. My cache is almost always filled and I'm having issues downloading updates from Market. The file size range can be anything from 100k to 23MB and it refuses to update. Sometimes booting in CWM and clearing cache works, sometimes it doesn't. I looked around and found a cache size changing script from the I9K forums, but that also doesn't work. So my questions are:

1) Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, what did you do to fix it?

2) Are there way to actually change the cache size? Either via CWM or I think I remember something about a pit file.

3) If I can't find a solution, does anyone know if any other the custom roms have changed the size of the cache to anything larger then 25mb which is the stock Samsung limit

And if there's already a thread with the answer, please point me to it. I searched prior and everything was about dalvik cache, which is not my issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
Here is a post by Kyuta Syuko which includes all links for the captivate cache info.

I use the init.d script and it works great (also works for others too). Did you set the permessions on the script? Look over here for an init.d cwm script package that includes the cache scrpit. Disregard the other two scripts (S98screenstate_scaling and S98system_tweak) in the zip if ur not interested in them, simply delete them from the zip before flashing. Follow the steps to be taken after flash in the link. Cheers ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I actually have the init.d script but it doesn't work for me. And I'm certain Cog4 has init.d support as there are already other scripts in there that I did not put there myself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
Don't know about cog4 (froyo rom if I'm correct), but the script works great on talon/darkcore + i9k based gb roms (tested on jvq/s/t).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Yes it is Froyo. And after some more tinkering with adb, I got the script to work. Had to comment out a line. I finally have a cache thats USABLE. Thanks guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
Cool, glad u figured it out :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
i notice microsoft didnt change much with this but it would be nice to have a Sync button on the phone like the new ios5 to trigger the wifi sync because besides waiting the 10 mins of waiting for it to sync theres no real reliability to it in my experience

sometimes it connects as soon as i put it on the charger sometimes it takes me like 20 mins to get it to show up on my desktop alot of times if i disconnect from the charger and reconnect then it works immediately

perhaps someone can make a app to trigger the initiation of when it syncs?

Your rom seems very promissing, i will try it. I am going to download it now :)

Downloaded, instaled, running for 30 minutes... so far ok, everything works, good work!

I have just a few comments:

- I do not like the market 3.2 version (no problem, I will replace it)

- browser - I need to investigate more, but it feels a bit laggy when scrolling long pages with a lot of pictures...

- would it be possible to incorporate circle or digi battery in the rom?

Once more, good work, thanks.

Thx. I tried my best.

I don't lke 3.2 market to. I will switch back to original market in the next version.

Maybe its the defaultGovernor that the browseris laggy. Try to set it to ondemand.

I also like to integrate a circle battery mod. I know in witch files i have to do that,

but i don't have a howto for doing that. Anyway, i'll try it this week.
[Acer Iconia A500] kesaloh13:
Could you please tell me the problem in detail. Is there a 3g symbol in the statusbar?

The rom is based on an original A501 rom. I didn't modified anything on the modem files. So it should work. Maybe you have to configure the apn settings manually.
[Acer Iconia A500] brnakp:
Thanks for quick reply.

I set governor to ondemmand and the browser feels a lot smother.

It would be great if you do the circle battery :) now I use the Battery circle app, but it looks not so nice...

Regarding the internal modem - I did not need to touch anything, apn was automatic,it works for me well.

One question, which kernel do you recommend - Tabonay or Thor?
[Acer Iconia A500] grab66:

Hi! Where I can find gmail app? I can't find it installed or on the market

P.m. my mistake. Found it
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
To run it on a A500, you can unzip the rom, open Sys/build.prop in notepad/wordpad, and at the bottom, where it says ro.carrier make sure it says ro.carrier=wifi-only. Remove the "#" sign from that line.

Save it, and the zip should recompress. Then you can flash it.

It should do away with the "sim card" error, and disable some of the wireless menu options.

As far as huwei 3g support, you should be able to snag a huwei 3g support patch from one of the other HC 3.2 based roms here in the forums. Well, should work, as the Rom is 3.2 based.

If you're rooted, and you have the correct android drivers installed, you should be able to see both internal and external drives on your pc. You can google for some acer or Android driver pack.

Tks, which driver are you using to make both internal storage and sd card show in Windows as "real" Removeable Disk?

I installed USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501 from Acer support site, and A501 showed in Windows as a Portable Media Player named MTP, I can access both internal and SD card by Windows Explore but couldn't show in Total Commander.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Seems everything is ok in windows, but I have no knowledge of Total Commander. But, it seems all is ok with your drivers as far as windows is concerned. But after looking at the app, seems you have to enable super user permissions. You should be able to do this in the SuperUser app. Also, check Commanders options as well.
