What the hell is up with my iPhone?!
On three occassions now when typing a forum reply the backspace key on my iPhone has got stuck down, and it just keeps on deleting everything I have typed until a) there is no more to delete or b) I press another key to stop it. What the hell is up with this, and how do I fix it?
I have also been receiving BUCKET loads of 'connection to server not responding' and 'connection to server was lost' messages in Safari. This evening I had to press a 'reply' button 5 times before it eventually decided to load the page. I was so so close to smashing the damn thing off the ground at this point it was driving me round the bend!
I've had the phone for less than a month, and it was last reset about 2 weeks ago.
Can anyone help me out? What the fudging hell is wrong with this thing?!
Thanks!

Do you have this problem with all web sites?
Is Safari the only app that you are having a problem with or are there others? I have only see this type of keyboard lag with Safari. And it usually has something to do with a banner ad or similar playing on the web page.

It's hard to tell as the deleting problem has only happened 3 times, twice on these forums, and once on another forum.
back up all of your contacts and data, and try a Restore. I had a similar problem with mine, and a restore fixed it.
That's exactly what I wanted to avoid since I have restored this damn iPhone about 6 times in less than a month. Can it really not go more than 2 weeks without screwing up?!

So just to confirm, you don't experience the keyboard lag with any other app? (i.e. Notes, Calendar, SMS, etc.) If that is true, then the problem may come from the banner ads and animated gifs that are on some sites. Sounds like the keyboard and something else is fighting for processor power.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Get a Nokia!

The problem isn't keyboard lag, I know that happens. The problem is the backspace key being stuck down and it deleting everything I've typed unless I press another key to stop it. I only use the phone for web access and some apps so I can't say whether it happens when texting, emailing etc
Well that is strange then. It's like the screen doesn't sense that you have lifted your finger off the backspace key. Are there any other keys that repeat after you've let go? Does this happen in both landscape and portrait mode?
I've had no other keys repeat. I only ever type in landscape in the browser so I can't say whether it does it in portrait or not.
Have you tried a reset yet?
Phone was reset less than 2 weeks ago, and a total of 6 times in less than a month.
