What is up with the keyboard on 3.1?!

[jonnypedantic]

Has anyone else noticed the keyboard has taken a turn for the worst in 3.1? Multi touch no longer seems to work, nor does holding a key produce key repeat or shift characters. What the hell?! Can someone shed some light on this? Pretty please? It's driving me crazy.

Yeah, I just can't get used to the split layout.

keyboard working fine for me. Multitouch and all. Still a tad laggy on XDA though. Although I should say that scrolling and general performance on XDA is great now.

I thought so at first, too, especially since I'm not used to tap typing at all. I swipe using Ultra Keyboard on my Evo. But after a little while, it became pretty easy. Easier, of course, in portrait, especially for small hands like mine, but I don't have much problem now in landscape, either.

i agree. Its pretty frustrating actually

I reapplied the 3.1 update, and that seems to have solved the issue, although I have to start from scratch again. Thanks for your help, everyone.

Edit: Nevermind. The problem's back.

Two suggestions that may or may not help:

Go into recovery and
1) Do a fix permissions.
2) wipe dalvik cache in advanced. (note: this will cause a longer that usual boot up time on the next reboot)

3.1 rooted wifi, no problems here

Latest version of thumbs keyboard has a mode to go back to the full keyboard.
Click the thumbskeyboard icon and it will switch modes

Thanks again, everyone. Third time wiping and reflashing was, apparently, a charm. Hopefully it's for real this time, otherwise my Xoom might just find itself transformed into an expensive frisbee. I still don't know what went wrong. I never did get a chance to try fixing permissions or wiping Dalvik cache. Anyway, it's appropriate that today is Friday the 13th.

i never rooted the Zoom and I have that problem with my keyboard too. Long press on the / sign and the @ don't pop up like it used to. Or any other keys showing there alternate. Or holding the Backspace button and it doesn't delete charectors all together?

How do you do this?

2 factory resets fixed the problem. Wtf

 

[that1techguy]

Same problem on my wifi only xoom non root. Is there a way to get this keyboard working without having to factory reset as more then half the memory is already used and I really don't want to move it to my computer.

just switched to thumb keyboard and did a long press and it worked like normal so I left it in caps lock and switched to the stock keyboard and it starting working again.

I'm really confused about this now???
