Hi guys since I upgraded to the new OS yesterday I have noticed an issue with multitap. for example if i want Y and the key is TY. I need to press it twice fast to get Y, but now sometimes when i do that it would just type TT. I have never had this issue just wondering if its software related.

Thanks

yahh, looks like I may have to downgrade.

[mike_187]

can anyone else try this and see if they have this issue.

you might want to play around with the key rate under options... screen/keyboard and see if you can get it more to your liking.
can't hurt to give it a shot.

[mike_187]

yea i'll try that but the weird thing is it only does it sometimes so it seems like a bug, mayne i should try getting used to suretype again, lol

I tried this already, tried slow, normal and fast and still acts weird.

Happens to me here and there when it switches to multitap for password boxes.

Yep, password would be a bummer since it does not allow SureTyping. Boohoo...

[mike_187]

yah, it bugged me so much that i went back to .71, its too bad i really liked the new OS.

[ibrg]

Or you can use passwords that do not have T/Y in them and type via SureType the rest of the time... Actually, I might just do that...lol

[mike_187]

but its not only that key, it does it randomly with most of the keys for me. plus i use multitap quite a bit for messaging, if i did not i wouldn't care as much.

[cliffr39]

yea it was random key strokes at random times. I'm also downgrading due to other small things. I do hope another carrier releases a 4.2.1.* OS soon. For now it will be .73
