Keyboard Lag

[haproot]

Just wanted to start a new topic on this and not take any other threads off topic. I am experiencing terrible keyboard lag when there is a lot of text in the box I am typing in. Say like quoting a message in tapatalk or responding to a gmail. it will also happen if I write a text message/gtalk but only after a couple sentences.

Please star the issue in the google code database. Thanks.

Yup it's a known problem. I personally haven't experienced it, but no denying that it's a problem for some if not many of us, I'm just lucky and haven't ran into it. Hopefully they fix it

I used the stock keyboard for one day and then I got swift key.... which is the best to me but I didn't experience any lag with the stock keyboard that can remember...

Try SwiftKey for 30 days for free...

If I type real slow it seems ok, but If I'm hammering away through a small books worth of text it gets worse and worse as I go. And the device actually starts to heat up like the CPU is getting pegged. After getting out of the keyboard and/or the app i was in, the device cools down and all is well. Strange. I really hope it is not any kind of hardware problem. :frown:

Giving SwiftKey x a test run. Wow this is much faster. Glad I picked this up during the ten cent sale.

Swiftkey and/or A.I.type should be required downloads for all Android newcomers lol

I used aitype and the keyboard lag is there in landscape mode. I am hoping 4.03 fix all the lag. Those testing it have noticed a boost in speed.

Hehe yeah but i truly prefer the stock keyboard. This one isnt putting apostrophes in for me like when i type im, isnt, dont, etc. When i tap on those words and pick a suggestion from the dropdown, it wont take the suggestion..

I've been a Swype user since the day it came out. I can't use anything else. I cannot type on stock keyboards. Tried Swift Key, hated it! Installed a Swype apk and all is well again

As for the stock keyboard, the lag is present in landscape mode. Also, tapping on words and selecting a corrected option does not stick in landscape mode either.

These don't seem to reproducible in portrait mode.

Been driving me crazy because I type pretty fast in landscape and it can't keep up. Doing it in portrait works but feels a bit cramped.

Same here I'm very fast with the built in keyboard it sucks when it starts geekin out. i pretty much type strictly in landscape except when doing a query like searching the market.

i have tried typing in landscape with the keypress vibe on and off and at this point while in landscape i do not see an issue using landscape with vibe off. But with vibe on i notice the lag. I am just typing as fast as i can to see if i can relplicate the issue which i cannot with vibe off. There is no lag with vibe off and landscape. Ok...i concur that portrait gave me no issues with lag either vibe on or off. So in my opinion the lag may have somethjng to do with vibe type. I also have issues at times with manual correction keeping in landscape. Galaxy nexus stock keyboard ics 4.0.2 Sorry for the ramble.

I have lag even with vibrate off. I'm sure vibrate helps to slow it down though, so maybe you just don't type fast enough to make it lag with it off? Try typing as fast as possible and see what happens.

On a side note, does anyone ever keep vibrate on? Turning it off is the first thing I do on a phone. Who wants it to vibrate with every keypress ugh lol

 

[Artimis]

Agreed....turning vibrate and keypress sounds off reduce lag but it is still present. I also have disabled the keypress popups.

Setting autocorrect mode to "aggressive" actually has had better results than medium or disabled. It just takes longer for it to start lagging on me.

Hopefully, this will be resolved in a future build or custom rom since I primarily type in landscape also.
