So most of the time I use the Flip board instead. NOW, I was given with the SE XPERIA X1 by my aunt but I was just ANNOYED with its sliding keyboard plus USELESS On Screen keyboard which are very small. They should have a larger on screen keyboard to make it easy to tap without any hassle of using the stylus. well this unit is good for music and video plays and for wifi uses. but for texting, it's time consuming and for making word documentsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486313.post-89327844681793880182011-05-27T09:32:46.711+08:002011-05-27T09:32:46.711+08:00i do not have the keys not registering but every t...i do not have the keys not registering but every time i try and type a word it automatically hits enter when im typing!

I read somewhere that it is due to dust getting into the keyboard as it gets used through the small gaps between the keys and the casing.<br /><br />I am going to try covering the entire keyboard with some clear tape ("contact" that is used for books might do the same thing), to attempt to prevent the dust from getting in.Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486313.post-41994822328189842142010-01-21T04:39:37.430+08:002010-01-21T04:39:37.430+08:00same problem here.... also started with spacebar, ...same problem here.... also started with spacebar, n, g, ... what annoys me the most is that it now takes me longer to write a sms on the X1 than on my K800i with T9 because one always has to scroll back to insert/remove missing/extra spaces or letters!

Also I'm experiencing more and more problems with the keys. I already was a little bit skeptical about this whole metallic thing they got going on. It seems to be very sensitive to dust and moist (or maybe the fat/skin of our fingers??).<br /><br />In any case, it seems to be a serious design problem. Would be great if everybody can update on the solution. I'm going to send my mobile this week back to the telephone company (already I had problems with the headset. Somehow the programmers managed to enhance the background noise and lower the volume of my speech) and will update you on the solution.<br /><br />Ciao!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053202886483799592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486313.post-47870688956673695922009-10-21T02:49:14.374+08:002009-10-21T02:49:14.374+08:00my problem is the U I O P backspace buttons...so q...my problem is the U I O P backspace buttons...so quite the opposite...but then my keyboard starts getting really messed up when my space button doesn't work properly...i did what you did, install the HTC on screen keyboar...I hope SE does something...but i doubt it since the X2 is coming out...<br /><br />i guess the only solution is to buy the x2 when it comes out :D<br /><br />indra orang indonesia ya? haha...only danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915281756328722949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486313.post-48092369821443225652009-10-17T15:35:44.896+08:002009-10-17T15:35:44.896+08:00********** Exact same problem here. majority of th...********** Exact same problem here. majority of the keys on the bottom row of the keyboard either don't register, register twice or 3 times. i had this problem after 1 month of using the xperia and sent it to the phone repair shop. they said it was a result of dirt on the inside of the keyboard. they cleaned it, sent it back and it worked like a charm. this however lasted for a total of 1 month, then back to the problem. i just need a good alternative phone that matches and i'll make the switch.
