I dont know since when this problem persisted but the keyboard on my desire is weird.
Everytime i try to type fast, there's other letter i don't touch appear in the screen as if i touch it. Mostly the letters appear are y, g, and v.
Knowing that, i then did some test. I tried to type fast only using the letters near my left and right thumbs like a/s and l/k and i did it continuously. As the result, i could see the letter g touched itself while i never touched it AT ALL and then it appeared on the screen.
Then i tried the other line by touching q/w and o/p and the letter y appeared just like the letter g.
That also happened with the third line with the letter v.
This happens everytime i use keyboard (messaging, notes, email, etc)
I dont know if the ROM i'm using causes this because I have tried using some ROMs (not all yet but plenty)and the only one I did not experience this is when i'm using Open Desire ROM. But I dont like Open Desire because I want Sense on it.
I also believe the applications did not cause this since this problem appears just after i flash the ROM and havent installed any application yet
Anybody knows why it happens and how to solve the problem?
FYI my Desire is rooted with Unrevoked way and right now using Lambros ROM.
Any reply is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit:
After trying using Open Desire again, it looks like the problem also occurs with it. I also have calibrated the keyboard but the problem's still there.
Still waiting for anyone can help.
Hi!
I have the exact same problem! (I'm using standard Froyo on a non-rooted Desire).
There's something else, when I type faster than usual and the random letters start appearing the backspace key stops working. I can't delete anything at all and the only solution is to retract the keyboard and then bring it up again. If I do that it works perfectly... until it starts acting up again!
My solution? Well.. I tried Swype and it seems to work just fine! Sure, it's WAY different but it's worth it. It just works flawlessly. And if I don't want to swype I can always type normally, it works for that as well and it doesn't malfunction like htc's keyboard.

Thank you very much for the reply and the solution.
Me have the same problem with the backspace either. I will try using swype although i don't use english often for text messaging or else.
Still waiting for other input which might have another solution without installing third party application or add-on.
So does the official froyo cause this? because i haven't had a problem like this when i was using eclair based custom ROM or N1 froyo based custom ROM as i recall
better keyboard is fab !!!!!! and it works very well typing fast .. the swype thing is rubbish , as I cant spell very well...

Well it doesn't matter any application you want to use since that's not the main concern. I'll try Better Keyboard as well. But when I tried to search it in the market with keyword 'better keyboard', I couldn't find it because too many add-ons and the application itself was beneath them. Can anyone help me with it? I can also not find Swype since there's only one application appear when I type 'swype' on the market and it's not Swype
this is beacause desire has no real multitouch.
any keyboard will have same issue
Better keyboard is a paid app. Can't see those if you are not living in eligible country...

I see. I tried the one in blapkmarket but it's still the same
It's been so long and i finally got the solution after all this time.
My friend told me that this problem is caused by multitouch error and that means hardware problem. He had the same problem but his is HTC Hero.
Then, I tried changing my ROM to MIUI J-Style 10.29 and unexpectedly the problem is gone. From that, I at least can conclude that this is not hardware problem. Anybody having similar problem can try having MIUI for the device's ROM. But maybe some Android-freak dislike it because it has iOS look.
seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?
Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.
Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?
is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh
i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?
i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.
My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

What keyboard are people using? I thought it was a Swype thing, but it sounds like the problem is more general.

Yea it is a general problem i uninstalled all my keyboards and have the stock one and i still get the same problem
Just wanted to see if anyone is having issues using the keyboard after the OTA sent out today. Using the stock Sense Keyboard the auto-prediction is skipping some of my keystrokes if i type too fast. For instance (just one example) when I type "doing" the "n" and "g" are relatively close so if i type too fast it clicks the "n" in but then if i hit "g" too quickly afterward it will forgo entering the "n" and the auto-correct will then change the word to "Doug". Which really sucks haha. Just curious if this is a huge complaint for anyone else.
Yup I'm getting this also, for some reason it is skipping key strokes.

i knew im not the only one, the prediction keeps skipping the ones that i really want it to say. prediction usually pops up with the word im using even if i miss 1 letter but prediction misses the whole thing it goes to another word.
its also lagging
This is the worst. Don't know if I can stand it for much longer. And now because we OTA we can't root to go to a different Rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
people actually use prediction? my god you have to sit there and stair at the words that it predicts and then choose the right one, and by that time you have already typed the word and are onto the 2nd or 3rd word afterthat.
this happened to me right when i got my phone. the HTC keyboard couldnt keep up, and that was without prediction or any of that crap on.
i switched to Smart Keyboard Pro and coulnt be happier.
turn off all the prediction crap and auto capitalize, and other garbage and see if the key strokes keep up.
if it doesnt then you got keyboard issues
try a different keyboard app and see what happens.
It doesnt have anything to do with the autoprediction not working its the keyboard not recording the correct keystrokes.
Does anyone have any alternatives to the stock keyboard other than the one already suggested?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I felt like it has something to do with the fps update. Like I was used to typing on a slow keyboard and now its more sensitive. Btw the stock keyboard blows major ****.

ppl actually use the stock keyboard???
So I figured out a solution to the problem for any of you guys out there that are having the same issue. I flashed a few different roms but the same problem with the keyboard kept persisting.
However once I flashed a different kernel on the phone the keyboard worked the way it worked before the newest OTA. I tried the BFS kernel and the BakedSnack kernel and they both fixed the issue with the keyboard. Just a heads up guys.

The only one I can offer is to root the phone and flash a custom kernel/rom. Totally fixed the issue for me. Just stay away from the HTC #11 kernel, seems to be the issue.

No the issue happens whether the phone is plugged in or not. Definitely has to do with the new HTC #11 kernel because even when flashing roms using that kernel, I have the same problem with the keyboard.

Ok so, ever since the LI3 update, my auto correct is broken, i just upgraded to JB. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. No one seems to beable to help me, samsung claimed it would be fixed next update which was JB and its still broken.. this only happened to some groups of people. I have an option to send it in for service but i use my phone for work. i cant give it up for a week of shipping+a week of it being worked on+a week of shipping back to me.. can someone please give me suggestions? ive formatted, ive factory reset in every form (from settings, keypad code, and hard button reset), ive wiped all settings, and all of that.. someone please try to help me out? D=
Im so tempted just to get a different phone even though i love it so much.. its so frustrating when you have an important conversation you have to reply quickly to, but cant because every letter you press shows up and doesnt auto correct into what you meant =/
(Yes the topic is just a harsh term)
I belive it HAS to be something that does not get wiped during a factory reset but idk what or how to access it.
Happens to me constantly. When I get annoyed with correcting myself I switch over to Swype temporarily but honestly have found NO fix for it on my end either.

When i swype is corrects but only when swyping =/ tapping on keys does NOTHING. Samsung is worthless in helping with this national issue, i just want to bang my head on a wall =( Im trying to trouble shoot it right now.. seeing if factory reset after jb install will fix it.. and keep my account unlinked from my phone with only stock apps and see what happens
and looks like bear bones is the same.. WHAT COULD IT BE!
Unsure but I am actually someone who htes downloading and installing third party apps in order to take the position of an already installed app except for browsers and occasionally Launchers. I personally love the Stock Samsung keyboard but just wish this feature worked and I would be in love.

On LG8 it worked perfectly fine for me =/ when LI3 hit and broke it.. only for some people. my younger brothers keyboard works fine and hes on LI3
Any chance of taking it back to the Sprint store and getting a replacement? I know chances are you won't get a NIB phone, proba refurb, but if it truly is a software glitch I don't see how they can't replace it. I also realize it's not the same as a phone not working at all, but they do promote unlimited texting and if there is something that is stopping that from happening, i.e. typing legibly, I would hope they would rectify it. I know the techs at my local store would bust their balls trying to get it fixed.
Ok, lets just entertain each other for a second. What do you have Selected in Auto Correction? Modest, Aggresive, Very Aggressive?

Swift Key 3 <3
Once i upgraded to the Galaxy S3 i was immediately turned off by the Samsung stock keyboard. Then i found SwiftKey3, Ill never go back to a stock keyboard again. The predictive text is incredible. May be a paid app but its the best money you could spend on one.

Hi everybody,
I've got a 16Gig nexus 5x which I recently purchased, and everything works fine but I have a very silly problem, but definitely critical to me.
I just have a problem with the backspace button of the keyboard which sometimes it seems very laggy. I mean when I write something and want to clean it with the backspace button and push it bunch of times it works with lag.
I tested all other buttons on keyboard and also tested a bunch of other keyboards but the problem is still existing.
Can anybody please help me with this issue? It can be a harware problem? I mean tauch problem?
I will really appreciate if anyone just gives me a hand with this....

I've the same problem as you. My keyboard would lag sometimes especially on the far right side of the screen. It would lag for a sec or two and goes back to normal.
Anyone else having the same problem??
Thank you buddy,
So you think It is software or hardware problem?
I've just checked my keyboard in both portrait and landscape and all the buttons respond very well. Maybe it's the rom your on? If your on stock I would say it might be your phone. Another thing I found after running a quick google search is that it seems most people complain about this while the phone is charging. If so then your not the only one but I've never noticed this myself.

No problems here.
Try clearing keyboard cache and data.
I'm also having the same problem. I'm on stock. Tried clearing keyboard cache. Replaced the keyboard with third party one. Still no progress.
I'm having the same issue with the back button while clearing text, it's intermittent, doesn't happen all the time. I'm on PureNexus ROM.
I've tried different ROMs and different third party keyboards and still I have the issue. Now I have pure stock ROM... It's so annoying to me. I really want to look for reason and solution..
Same thing here. Its most noticeable when using backspace.
Go into developer mode and force GPU rendering. That should solve your problem.
I did, but still have the issue... Nothing happened...the same lag is still on going...

Thanks a million for it :good:
MHC19J is the latest stock android build for the nexus 5X. After the March security update (build number MMB29V) a further update was released incorporating a few other changes with the build number MHC19J.
The MHC19J build has been widely reported to help with the 5X in several areas such as performance and memory usage for a lot of (but not all) people.
You can either wait for your phone to receive the update which is rolling out slowly, or flash it manually by downloading the factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - I chose to download and flash the whole image which wipes all your data etc but does give you a nice fresh install. Just make sure you back everything up first.

Sorry to hear the update hasn't helped you. It vastly improved (but did not eliminate) by keyboard falling behind while I was typing then suddenly catching up on the missed words I had typed.
I'm on MHC19J and I still have that Keyboard lag. Especially when pressing 'Backspace'. Tried many Customs roms. Custom kernels. Hasn't solved my problem yet.
I upgraded from a G2 to N5X. And i'm regretting the decision i made. Not only G2 didn't had any problems with touchscreen. It didn't even had touchscreen lag like on N5X. Whenever i'm typing it feels like keyboard is catching up to me after few milisecs which is frustrating to say the least.
