Default Abnormal keyboard behavior

Hi everyone,

I just bought a Sensation yesterday. It seems that keyboard is not functioning normally. As an example when I press "L" the "delete" functions and when I press "delete" the "enter" functions. Strangely this abnormal behavior is only seen with these keys: L,M,delete,enter on the right and S,Z,ALT,Language keys on the left. Does anyone have this problem? Can this be a simple calibration problem or a hardware problem?

P.S. The screen functions normally at other times.

Thanks,
HTC Sensation

You can always try the calibration you mentioned. I did it just for ****s and giggles. Are you using the stock keyboard or are you using a different one? I actually had the same problem you are having with the GB keyboard from the market, but no problems at all with the stock keyboard.

Unfortunately I'm using the stock keyboard. But surprisingly I didn't have this problem for the last 1 hour.

I have some questions on this, I have the sensation and have notices some issues, when the phone is placed on the charger. I have the t-mobile glove (rubber) I noticed that when the glove is on and it is plugged into charger the screen goes all weird I swipe the screen and it calls some random person from the contacts, if I try to unlock it the ring just bounces around and will not let me unlock the phone when I slect a point on screen something else opens.

if I unplug it or remove the glove issue goes away, but work fine connected to charger(no glove) and works fine in glove (no charger connected)

I am at a loss as what could be causing this

How about when you're typing a message, and for some reason the keyboard goes away and the sms thread goes all the way to the top of the conversation? I hate having to scroll down, anyone?

And to the OP, you're with vodafone, are you getting 3G or just edge with the sensation? I'm going to be visiting Aksaray later this year and I'm bringing my phone and I want to use 3G data with vodafone since last year, I brought my iPhone and it worked and they didn't block it because it was from the U.S

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That has happened to me before, as well, when the keyboard disappears then it takes you to the top of the thread. Just hit back and click back on the thread and it takes you back to the bottom. Much quicker than scrolling possibly hundreds of messages down.
