Yeah, the Epic 4G was WAY worse lol. I actually contacted the dev. that pretty much fixed the problem on the Epic, and he was curious and took a look at the SK. He said indeed that the SK shouldn't suffer nearly the same keyboard woes. But he did make a little patch for us anyway, to try and improve some other stuff, but it was never put into a kernel I don't think.

I do get a missed keystroke on this device every now and then, but not too often.

Sounds good. I wonder what happened to that patch though, and whether or not it worked.

Well, i noticed it happens VERY randomly. sometimes it's just once every 10 messages in gtalk, sometimes, it hits twice or thrice in a single message. drives me crazy :/

Lol, I hear ya. That patch was posted, possibly even in the thread you linked, so it might still be there. Sduvick didn't feel motivated to add it to a kernel, and even tho it is simple, my patching skills were limited, so it never got tested.

I'll see if I can find where the interaction took place, and see if the patch link is still good.

This is me typing as fast as I can I drop keystrokes all the tim but it only seems to be the e the g and sometimes t I think its a hardware problem I'm not looking at the screen at all so you can see where the keystrokes might be dropping also I've had sidekicks since 2007 so I'm used to the full keyboard and typing extremely fast on it lol lalalalalala typey typey typey...

And now a few 4 letter words typed 20 tmes in a row watch for drops

Time time time time time time time time time time tim time time time time time time time time time

Ding ding ding ding din ding ding ding ding ding digng ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

Dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt dirt

And there you have it looking back on this post now I dropped a total of 2 e's and 1 g.

Currently running reactives cm6 merge v 2.1.0

Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

as i've said, it drops them VERY randomly. And for some reason, it doesn't drop, or at least as much as during regular use, when you start testing for drops. That, or maybe we're testing it wrong.

In my case, I'm getting drops on seemingly all of the keys. Sometimes on T. Sometimes Space. Sometimes even Return. etc.

Can anyone else test in the recovery key test under advanced just to make sure it's not hardware related?

It's worth a try, although I still don't see how the changes I made would alleviate dropped keystrokes. The printk logging statements have close to zero overhead compared to the rest of the Android stack.

If you can find the patch, I will try to integrate it into my kernel.

but if it's really fixed, maybe it's something i installed? will do a clean install and report back

Just to be sure, would you check what kernel version shows up under Settings -> About Phone?

I'm wondering if perhaps sometimes, the kernel is failing to flash.

this was back in the days of KD1, but i hope it could still be of use to us.
