Typing Lag and cursor jumping around while typing? - Eee Pad Transformer General

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.

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?

Text input lag

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!

HTC HD2 SMS Texing cursor abnormal behavior

Every time I sent a text, when I tap on the button 12# to use the signs and numbers, the cursor automatically dislocate to the beginning of the message. This is really annoying and mess up the texting process. Does anyone have the same problem? is there a fix for this?
please help... Many thanks.
Confirmed
A workaround is to make sure there is a 'space' after your text before selecting 12#. Not sure how viable that is for you.
I have noticed the first time you select 12# all is fine.
However after additional texting, reselecting 12# produces your issue!
You can aslo easily click at the end of your text and you will still be in the numeric keyboard. Of course you can also stay in the default text keyboard and hold down the 'q' key to get to number '1', w for 2 etc.

Thanks for the tips. I wish the texting on this phone could be like the iPhone. The iPhone texting is the best so far I've used. Very responsive and smooth. Accurate texting correction too. sigh...
More texting tips
Sure thing.

Are you sure you're not tapping the ' > ' arrow button underneath at the same time?

I've noticed if messaging is in the middle of suggesting a word it will go back to the beginning, if not it won't.
do you guys think hard reset will fix the problem? I'm tempted to do it but worry that it could be a waste of effort since after a hard reset i have to set up the phone all over again from scratch.

It will be waste of time. All you got to do it complete the word and if any suggested words are still showing press the correct one. Then press 12#

I can confirm that this works... It is still a bug! The cursor should not go to the start of the message...

Of course it is, but at least you now know how to avoid it.
if anyone know the solution to this, please post and share. thanks so much guys!
I also get this problem quite often.
I am wondering if the Rom update that was posted to the HTC HK site (in English) will fix this problem.
The update seems to deal with their sms system, so I am sure we are not alone in this problem.

Hi, the 1.66 ROM doesn't fix it, I put that on at the weekend & still having the same issues. Battery life seems much better though
I didn't have this problem until I applied the sms hotfix from the HTC site. Have noticed it only affects the sms texting, emails and documents are unaffected.
I'm also having problems with the cursor but in a different behavior...my cursor goes ahead of my last text like about 17 spaces ahead, but when i type again, the letters (characters) will still appear after the last text that i typed, but still my cursor is ahead. it only happens when my dialogs in a contact reaches to 10 above and i am already typing at the second onward lines of my text message. it is difficult specialy when i'm deleting, i can't delete accurately. like this:
note: " l " is the cursor
" . " as the no. of spaces
"when are you going home? please
drop by the............ l "
and then
"when are you going home? please
drop by the store...........l "................and so on...
does anybody experienced this?
before my sms client is v1.5 (the stock client?), now v1.8....still the same.

Spacebar intermittently not working when texting - Help/Fix

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

[Q] Swype missing keys?

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.

Typing in browsers is not working properly

First let me tell you that this has been going on for a long time. I first had trouble on latest stock ROM. I factory reset it and still had problems. So I just now switched to Paranoid Android because I thought it was my ROM that was broken since it happens on all browsers except for Chrome. It still is happening in the default browser that came with Paranoid Android.
Here is what is happening.
I go to any page on the web that has a multi-line text box. I try to start one with text already in it, like by quoting somebody on a forum. I start by highlighting a word and copying it. Then if there's text in the box I place the cursor between any two letters. Then I click the handle/cursor until paste comes up, and right after I do, the cursor will move somewhere like in the middle of the next line or lower. This happens even before i hit paste. If I use the copy command like in thumb keyboard by assigning paste to a function key, sometimes it overwrites text to the left or right of the cursor. This stuff happens with any keyboard including stock android keyboard. Sometimes I'll be typing text and then backspace stops working. Sometimes when that happens I have to click with my finger somewhere if I want to change something. But sometime that doesn't even work. Sometimes I will paste text at the bottom of the quoted text and the text will magically somehow be pasted at the top. This happens often. This only happens in browsers. I've tried stock, boat browser, dolphin. It happens in all of them. This is all repeatable for the most part. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone know what I can try? Is my nexus 10 broken? It seems like a software issue, but I don't know how since I've wiped everything and started over.
Any help appreciated. Anyone who can fix this I'll buy a beer.
