When I'm typing (in portrait mode) a lot of time when I press the SPACEBAR (and I'm in a groove, so I'm typing somewhat fast, but DEFINATELY hitting the spacebar and it's showing that it's being hit) it doesn't register, so I have no spaces between words.. I have to actually pause for a moment after I hit the spacebar so it will register...
Is anyone else having this problem...?
Is there a fix for it?
I have a stock hd2 (not unlocked or anything).
same issue stock or not it sounds like you have came from a iphone like me and can type faster then the keyboard knows what to do with so yeah idk a fix but
+1
yeah, but it's not my speed (I mean, I am typing faster that the phone can process for the most part), the spacebar is registering when I type, but if I don't pause for a second, it doesn't register the space.. it doesn't do this with any keys except for the spacebar..
oh, btw, it's doing the same thing in landscape mode too.. so it's just a universal problem on here for me.
lol yup
its the same here i mean there are keyboard sensitivity tweaks out there but its still not enough lol when i get pissed off and i am texting its too fast lol

Has any body else noticed a lag when entering text using the keyboard. I am getting quite quick now but it seems like the phone has trouble keeping up.
Also, a huge thank you to all the guys how work hard producing applications and ports for this forum.
Yep...must be normal for WM6
My TyTN II had the lag, My Raphael had the lag and YES, My X1 also has the lag when I first start typing messages.
I've come to expect it with WM6.x...
My text input lagged at times after I installed Touchflo 3D and had it running.
You would think that with all the things the phone can do with ease, it would not have a problem imputting text............

I Initially found a lot of lag with my X1 keyboard input but solved it by turning off 'Word Completion' - it seems the keyboard itself is not lagging but the phone trying to predict what word you are typing slows the whole thing down. I personally dont think predictive text is required with a QWERTY keyboard so I have turned it off and no lag since Can be found in Settings\Personal\Input\Word Completion\"Suggest Words When Entering Text"

I turned that off a while ago, it didn't help that much.
The only thing that seems to work for me is a soft reset.
ÅÄÖ lags also on the swedish model. When typing ÅÄÖ they can be located anywere in the text, a VERY odd bugg!
it lags really badly in SMS typing. It seems to be much better in emails and other applications. Anyone know why?
Thanks
I've noticed that the keyboard can lag sometimes, but I don;t know why.
The most annoying thing I've had was on a particular rom I flashed (I can't remember which one now) where the first letter or two lagged when entering a web address into opera/ie, so that they would appear after the 3rd letter or so. Like if I typed:
xda-developers.com
I might get
adx-developers.com
That annoyed me so much, I just flashed to another rom pretty much straight away...
Does your phones have a custom software keyboard installed like Touch HD or any other 3:rd party keyboard?
Try to disable word completetion.

My keyboard lagged with the touchHD keyboard too -very bad, when the first letter became the third or forth.
Now I use SPB Keyboard and all the lags are gone.

are you saying that if i install SPB Keyboard that it will improve typing on the slide out keyboard as well? i'm asking 'cause i'm experiencing lag on it as well
Why can't people answer the question?
Do you or don't you have any 3:rd party keyboard software installed like the Touch HD keyboard?

As emwdava already asked: Do you have a 3rd party keyboard (e.g. TouchHD Keyboard) installed?
If that's the case, try deinstalling this keyboard and see if the lags go away.
If the system is running better then and you want to have a software keyboard, I would recommend SPB Keyboard because it's good and it does not cause any lags as the TouchHD Keyboard before.
So SPB Keyboard will NOT help getting the lags away, but it is a usable keyboard that do not cause lags.
i hv the THD keyboard installed and i experience the lag too when im typing an address into opera. with both the THD keyboard and the hardware keyboard.
at first was kinda annoying but now i just wait for the cursor to move in front of the first letter before i continue typing. less than two seconds. im pretty patient
i have the issue of the lag on the hardware keyboard, i types and after few moments i see the words appear.
I have TouchIT 3.01 rom and SPB keyboard, i will try disabling auto-completition and do the other tips and see the results
i have the same issue..
i just jacks rom 1.06
anly keyboard i have installed that is not with the rom = NullKB
i have word completion disabled.
i have the same problem sort of...
I've got a swedish xperia with stock rom, itjes manila cab, fingerboard and touchpal installed, disabled auto-correction and no word proposals.
but i must say that even when I hard reset my unit the problem is still there when i multi-task (even just a few programs). but for me it only affects my swedish letters å ä and ö. never for any other letters. it's so annoying and i hope that SE or someone here could fix it... perhaps it's already fixed?
Same problem with the hardware keyboard. It lags about 1 second or similar. You can keep typing, it will catch up eventually, and it won't lose any words/letters.
The software SIP doesn't have a problem, but maybe because I type slower on that, than the hardware keyboard haha.
Same
I'm using Finger Keyboard 2, When I type with the hardware keyboard it sometimes lags behind me by about 2 words at the very start of my message then goes fine after that.
Using Finger Keyboard 2 itself is normal, but switching it on takes about 30 seconds or more sometimes, I don't know if this is common but will probably remove it if it continues because the only reason i keep it is to save sliding, otherwise it's quicker to just slide and I would have finished what i was doing in the time it takes to load.
Hi All,
I've tried for the past several days to find any word on what it's like typing on the TD2/Pure keyboard and cannot seem to find anything substantial. I like the look and feel of the phone and think I want one. However, I need to know from someone who has had one for a while what it's like typing on it daily. Speaking for me, I've got short stubby fingers and thumbs. Is that a problem? Will I end up using the stylus most of the time?
Also in the store, the keyboard wouldn't switch to landscape in anything other than the messaging applications. When I tried to use it in Word, it stayed in portrait mode.
Thanks in advance.
I've had my Pure for 3 days. I been using the Fuze for the past year. It's taking a little while to get use to the on-screen keyboard. I too have fat fingers. A friend of mine just bought a Sprint Hero. I really like the on-screen keyboard that comes with it. If I can find a similiar one for the Pure I'll be a lot happier. In the meantime I'll keep using the stylus when I need to type quickly and accurately.
had my Topaz since may 7th, many texts every day and its good Not as fast as a physical keypad, and you cant touche type well with it ofc. BUT, it is easy. It has auto correction built in, so you almost always get the right words. I run mine atm in Phone keypad mode, (2abc 3def etc) because the keys are bigger, altho the full Qwerty is also good
Also i by no means have small hands and i almost never use the stylus ;P
I got fat fingers as well and no nails. (I bite) and I can say I type really quick on the keyboad. I would type quick on the original HTC Touch aswell and that screen sucked. What I've noticted is that people use the tip and or pad of their thumb which blocks the screen. I type and use the phone by using the inner top edge of my thumbs. I get a bettr view of the screen and can type very accurtate in portrait view. I use both thumbs when typing aswell.
Oh and this is on the qwerty keyboard. People are surprised at how fast I can type on it. Way faster than using a normal keyboard. (1-9) I would a like to sugest to try out the 20key qwerty if you are having problems with the full qwrety. type a blackberry.
This is the first device I've used that didn't have actual keys, and for the first couple of hours, I got frustrated and resorted to the stylus. However, after another couple of hours making a good attempt to get used to the keyboard, I did, and my accuracy and speed are both pretty good now.
I use Fingerkeyboard and I am very happy. Of course it was better on my blackstone than on my topaz due to the bigger screen, but I found that I can type faster on this on-screen keyboard than I could on the physical keyboard of the xperia... On-screen keyboards are more sensitive IMO.
Well - After everything I had read and studied, I made the leap yesterday and purchased the Pure. It was a bit awkward at first and the typing was pretty much hit and miss. After burning through a few emails and texts, I think I've got the hang of it. It does seem that part of my problem is the screen calibration is a bit off. I figured this out by using the stylus in the contact list and if I hit the "T", the "S" list came up. The typing was easier than I expected but it's amazing how much screen real estate the keyboard takes up in landscape mode.
Thanks for all the replies.
Yeah you can recallibrate in the settings, will help Glad you got one.
I love it!
Here's a tip... Instead of pecking at the letters, if you hold your finger on the letter for just a tad longer, it will "popup" the letter. Got the wrong one, just roll your finger a little until the right one comes up.
You don't have much time to do this, but it's very easy to get used to!

That's strange that it's off like that. My Topaz came precalibrated just fine. Go to Settings in Touchflo then Menu>All Settings>System>Screen and you should be able to re-calibrate. If its like the original TD2 it you won't be able to re-calibrate unless you flash a cooked ROM.
Do you use both thumbs or one hand and one finger to type. Both thumbs work grand for me.
The keyboard itself is wonderful, nice layout and everything. But sometimes even if I press kinda hard the key I pressed don't show up which means I always have to press kinda hard to be sure to get the key I pressed.
Does anybody have the 20 key keyboard .cab? I might give it a go again. Can't seem to find it...

Hold they key on the screen it should pop up the letter to verify. Maybe that's a euro td2 vs usa pure thing?
My unlocked diamond did this out of the box, so hmmm.

Maybe I confused you a little, I mean when I press on the screen nothing happens which means I have to press harder than I want to. It might be the TD2 screen itself because if you press on it you can feel that goofy thing, it's like some plastic glass instead of real glass (like on Diamond).
I gotcha.
I have a diamond too, and the screen seems just the same.
I have noticed that the actual LCD is sunk a little more down on the TD2 over the TD.
I actually welcome this as there's less glare and better readability of the screen.
try cliquick keyboard its the largest i can find lol
On my Epic, running QuantumRom 2.7, Swype seems to be missing certain letters at different times. Just now, I tried to type "I'm" by swiping from I to M on the keyboard, but Swype is not catching the I, and will only highlight J or K, forcing a weird word like "Km"
Also, sometimes I will be swiping for another word, and it will assume I did a short press to insert a letter, then start recognizing swiping. Example: Swiping "Hello" may insert "H elli"
Anyone else hit these issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks.
Yeah, mine started doing that the other day. Almost like the screen isn't picking up my movements any longer.

yea mines been doing this for a little, and sometimes after i pick a word, it puts it in caps lock by itself
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I had the same issue last night trying to swipe "copy".
I would hit C, feel the phone recognize the press with the haptic feedback, but right when I went to swipe away to O, Swype put the C, then pick up other characters.
Anyone know of a fix? It seems intermitted but when it happens it is very frustrating.
Anyone have this issue? I literally cant even type this post without having to go back and correct everything...Cursor jumps back mid sentence a lot and inputs words accidently etc...does overclocking fix this issue? Can I overclock if already on 3.1?
Thanks!
i have a terrible time typing on webforms.
do you have the dock ? if so turn off the trackpad using the 4th button from the top left
this works a treat making the cursor stay where it damn should, you have to go back to jabbing the screen but it means pain free inputing when you need to.

Same issue here
i have the same typing lag problem with the stock browser then i switched to dolphin hd browser and the problem solved.
trackpad thing didnt work... still jumped. I am using dolphi hd also and its having lag as well... annoying to say the least.
For this forum change the theme to classic. It fixes the lag completely.
USER CP _ setting

Not for me. Nothing has helped. It's not just here, it typing an any webform anywhere on the web. It might be slightly better in some places but it never goes away. I went to the mall and tested 3 other brand tablets yesterday and none had this problem.
Touch the screen, wait for mouse to dissapear to start typing.
I use SwiftKey keyboard and I can barely see any lag, and the predictions are the best.

I am having the exact same issue. I have tried the stock browser and Firefox. I'm running android 4.0 ICS (it came with that upgrade). I mainly use it without the dock attached, so that can't be an issue.
Overall it is very laggy for typing and starting to type into text fields. I have to click then wait several seconds before typing and randomly while typing, it will get "backed up" and characters will stop appearing for a moment.
Generally I can type okay without the cursor jumping around...that is, unless I make a mistake and want to go back and fix it. Then trying to point the cursor at the right letter is nearly impossible because it jumps all over while dragging (and just doing one single tap makes the cursor go in unpredictable spots). Even if I get it to the right spot I can only type one letter then the next letters will start type at the bottom / end of the text field.
I realize this thread is old, did anybody get to the bottom of this?
