when im about to type a msg and i press a letter (lets say i press S one time) the phone will register it like this sssssssssssssssss

I just got information that this will be corrected in an upcoming software update that is planed to start rolling out in the middle of April 2016. Please note that software updates are released at different times depending on operator and/or country.

Hi @bardakson

Please, try to boot your device into safe mode as explained in the link below and check if this issue persists. If everything works ok in this mode, a third party app its creating this problem.

I also have a similar problem.

The touch stops working and behaves strange, but after a quick closing of the screen and on a again it works again until it failes again.

I started a thread about it on swedroid.se (swedish) here:

I'm having the same issue. Is there a chance that is a hardware error or is it in fact a software problem?

Hi @davekk @Perty @madskaae

I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information. Then try performing a system repair using PC Companion or Bridge for MAC. The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds) Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP.
