Hello All,

I'm also having the VNC repeating keys problem and no matter what I can't fix it. :P
Help Help! 

•Device: HTC Evo 4G
•Device OS version: Android 2.2 (Froyo)
•Computer OS version: openSuse 11.4 64-bit
•App version: PocketCloud 1.2.203
•Connection method: Manual
•Environment of the remote PC: Home, and reachable (correct firewall ports open)
•VNC version: tightvnc-1.3.10-2.1.x86_64 (distro RPM)

Any advice would be MUCH MUCH appreciated as I need to be able to rely on this app when I am in remote locations...

Thanks in advance,

Well I have done a couple of things and my problem has resolved itself. As per request lets start with the prerequisites. 

Device: Motorola Droid X
Device OS Version: Android 2.2.1/Version2.3.340.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Computer OS: FreeBSD 8.1
App Version: Free 1.1.108
Connection Method: Manual
Environment: Home
VNC Version: TightVNC Server 1.3.10
Keyboard: Smart Keyboard Pro
Keyboard Language: English

I compiled TightVNC but I also switched keyboards to Better Keyboard Pro due to the fact that it simulates arrow keys. I additionally in the Wyse connection settings I set it from windows to Mac since Mac is Unix based as well. My keyboard no longer repeats, I hope this info can be of use to someone with their problems as well.

Hi.

I am having the same issue as well. I logged a support request for it. Quoted below.

•Device: Samsung GalaxyTab 10.1v (GT-P7100)
•Device OS version: Android 3.0
•(Target 1) Computer OS version: Windows 7 64bit (home Premium) + RealVNC Free 4.1.3
•(Target 2) Computer OS version: VMware Workstation 7. Remote display option enabled on VM
•App version: PocketCloud 1.2.117
•Connection method: Manual
•Environment of the remote PC: Home, and reachable (correct firewall ports open, no connectivity issues)
•Keyboard Option 1: Native Android 3.0 keyboard
•Keyboard Option 2: SwiftKey Tablet X
•Keyboard Language: English 

I am having difficulty with the Android 3.0 (on Galaxy Tab 10.1) client keyboard. When i am connected to my VNC servers, when i type, the initial key gets "stuck" and the remote display repeatedly types that character over and over like a "sticky key". I find this problem on two different VNC servers (RealVNC and VMware remote display) on both my Windows 7 desktop and a virtual guest in vmware (Ubuntu 11).

I have swiftkey tablet X installed on the tablet, but the problem occurs whether i am using the native android keyboard or the swiftkey keyboard.

This unfortunately makes it impossible to use pocketcloud for my intended use (remote access to my home labs).

P.S Feedback: I love the mouse interface. It's pure genius.

Err. I checked sticky keys and it was disabled. I enabled it and it seems to have resolved the issue! 

Hi geekmason, please disable sticky keys in your keyboard preference. 
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the info!!

Thank you for letting us know. We will definitely fix it.

The port for the VNC protocol must be opened on the host computer.

Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal , there is no secure direction ; without direction , there is no life


All things are difficult before they are easy.

Cool Andy!

This is a VMWare issue on Windows 7, or maybe just a Windows 7 issue.

I stumbled upon this site looking for a resolution to VMware keyboard issues. I'm not using this Wyse product, but I have a similar problem with any type of remote control. I can say, based on substantial testing, that this problem is somewhere in Windows 7 or VMware. This problem only exists when trying to use a virtual keyboard on a Windows 7 machine. To prove this, I have performed several test scenarios:

1) Perform a remote control to a Windows 7 desktop running a VMWare Remote Console session to Server A. The virtual keyboard does not work.
2) Perform a remote control to a Windows XP desktop running a VMWare Remote Console session to Server A. The virtual keyboard works just fine.
3) Open a VMWare Remote Console session on a Windows 7 tablet. The tablet's virtual keyboard does not work when trying to type on the VM.
4) From a Windows 7 tablet (T1) open a Remote Desktop session to another Windows 7 tablet (T2) that has a VMWare Remote Console session open. The virtual keyboard on T1 will be able to input into the VMWare session running on T2. Not sure why this one scenario works.

I current use scenario 2 if I need to work from a mobile phone. I use scenario 4 if I am working from a tablet that is LAN connected.

I am still having the same issue on wyse pocketcloud pro on a xoom and a samsung infuse and windows 7 home running tightvnc. It works fine on windows but I have a virtualbox ubuntu 11 guest which has the stuck key issue. Disableing sticky keys on ubuntu did not work. any suggestions?

Good news!
Thanks
