http://androidforums.com – So far I've gone through 3 XPRTs. Each time, the phone was great until the keyboard started doing weird things: basically the keys would start sticking. I would often get double key presses, at other times the keys would not press, etc. Is this a known issue with the XPRT? Or did I just get 3 lemons in a row? I really like having a non-slider QWERTY Android phone but the sticking keys thing is too infuriating. I may have to go back to my Blackberry. (General)

Sticking keys 15 weeks 4 hours ago

So far I've gone through 3 XPRTs. Each time, the phone was great until the keyboard started doing weird things: basically the keys would start sticking. I would often get double key presses, at other times the keys would not press, etc.

Is this a known issue with the XPRT?

Hello all. After upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 I got this bug. At 8.10-10.10 everything was normal. When I press any of these keys, they sometimes stick. Shift stick approximately at every second press, Alt stick a couple of times a day. Sticking disappears when I press sticked key. I see this bug in KDE 4.6.3 and Openbox 3.4.11.

Several times a day (and lately more frequently) my phone will do one of two things.

1) The phone will be completely unresponsive on both the screen and the soft keys. Current solution: put phone in standby.

If I press the "Tab" key, it opens a window to shutdown, log off, etc. the computer. The "Z" key does "undo." The number one key reloads the page. The "Esc" key acts like "Ctrl+Alt+Del." If I try to use any of the keys, it won't work unless I press it quickly multiple times. I don't have any sticky keys enabled under System>Preferences>Assistive Technologies.

[ubuntu] USB keyboard issue 3 years 43 weeks ago

Hi All,

For years I've known about and used SSH with keys to automate login. I've always simply used the ssh-keygen and copied the public key into the authorised keys wherever I needed to log in into.

A couple of months ago I started with AWS and they have a thing called key pairs, which I am sure is closely related to the keys that I know.... but it isn't exactly the same thing.

This is how to perform a hard reset on this phone.

Take the battery out. Put it back in. Press and hold the following keys at the same time for about 1 to 2 seconds until the touch key backlights turn on: Power/Lock Key and Down Volume Key.

As soon as the backlight on the touch keys is turned on, release the keys.

About 1 week ago, I installed MATE desktop (Gnome2 fork) because I wanted to use XMonad in gnome. So I am pretty sure this problem has something to do with MATE.

My keyboard is just a basic HP keyboard (US layout); it doesn't have any specialised media/audio keys.

I'd like to get the five additional "Macro" keys on my new Razer Black Widow working in Ubuntu.

I already tried:

xev: no events logged on keypress - looks like presses don't reach the X cat /dev/input/event: worked for mouse and the standard keys, but not for macro keys Wireshark: It detected my bluetooth mouse but not the keyboard pyusb: with no proper documentation, I thought it was a bit ove
