To keep it simple...
Is anyone experiencing lag and delays when typing in landscape mode?
I'm typing into the stock SMS app. There are no slowdowns in portrait mode, bizarrely.
UPDATE: Looks like this could be a known bug here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22432
As I've mentioned before, if you're having a similar problem to that described in the link, give it a star rather than a "me too" comment - unless your problem is different.
I don't get that. Are you using the default keyboard?

Yes, indeed - default keyboard. If the vibrate on keypress is enabled, I can tell it's delayed.
I've also noticed this in numerous applications. Try typing a Google+ post in landscape and prepare to be frustrated.
Hmm. Try going into the advanced settings of the keyboard and try to reduce vibration time or key pop up dismiss delay. Maybe that will help.

I still does it with the vibration turned off. The key presses still seem to be registered, but feedback (the pop-up letters) seem to catch up when it's finished doing the other things that it needs to do.
I have exactly the same problem in my galaxy nexus.. and only in landscape mode... and the longer you write in landscape mode to more delay you will get... any idea?
greets Micha
Thanks everyone for responding so far.. seems it's not just me.
By no means am I moaning - the phone has blown my mind. The keyboard is amazingly useful in portrait mode, that I'm almost not bothered by this landscape slow down.
I wonder if Google are aware of it?
Might be this issue

We shall see, I've added a comment.
If you're having a similar problem to that described in the link, it's probably going to gain more traction if you give it a star rather than a "me too" comment. Wouldnt want the Googlers getting annoyed
Yup, I've also noticed this. I don't have vibration enabled.
This happens to me as well. It also happened to me on my Nexus S. It doesn't seem to do it all the time, but at least 40% of the time the keyboard will lag. Also when I use the word replacement feature of spell check it won't actually replace the word or it will replace it but keep the red underline, then change back to the misspelled word again.
just noticed this this morning- seems limited to landscape mode so far. kind of a bummer since in portrait mode the keyboard performance is the best I have ever seen.

Ah yes, the still haven't fixed that either. I was thinking the GN version of the app would be updated from the Gingerbread one. No spell correction, suggestions, auto punctuation, or word wrap in landscape mode. At least we know that problem can be fixed by an app update from Google.
I have noticed this as well. Commented also to the android forum thread about this.. Let's hope we get a fix soon

First, is there any way to enable auto-punctuation when typing a text from the physical keyboard? It's not a deal breaker, just kind of a minor annoyance.
Second, also pertaining to messaging, is there any way to enable sending the message on hitting enter?

As of now there is no way to do both the things you are asking about but i am sure as the time passes,we all be finding new things so hang tight
Haha no worries. I just upgraded from my G1 (I got on day one) running CM 5.0.7, so I'm just missing a few small features.
I can wait 'til root happens here.

Yeah root will happen but i am not sure when since alot of people dont have the phone but i am waiting for that as well
if swype is set for text input, auto punctuation doesn't work with the hardware keyboard. you have to turn on 'prediction' in the hardware qwerty options for the punctuation.

First, I downloaded handscent from the market and it allows send on hitting enter and it has a nice pop-up too.
Second, I have the HTC keyboard suggesting on the hard keyboard and it does auto punctuation. Hope this helps.

Common now if you can help then help. There is no need to make comments at other people
Haha .. phone is really slacking with the hard keyboard, you always have to click fields to get it to type and this non auto punctuating sucks I mean it use to auto correct i to I and it can't even do that let alone apostrophe's and such
Just tried the htc_ime with auto prediction and spell correct on, on the hard keyboard.. wow, its awesome and just as fast as not having it on.. on the g1 it would make the phone and typing a pain and slower with the hard keyboard. Too bad that you have to have touch keyboard enable for it to work, I like swype better for the virtual keyboard.
excuse my ignorance, but where are the htc_ime settings, the physical keyboard is driving me effing crazy. it was fine on my cliq, did all the auto punctuate and such, it feels like there are no useful settings for the keyboard for the phone.
thanks yous

the keyboard is there but not settings. just like the dragon kb
If your using touch input instead of swype, then just go to settings, language and keyboard, touch input, text input, prediction and spell correction enabled for hardware QWERTY.. then it will auto correct and auto correct very good. The prediction gets kinda annoying but it has to be on. I wish there was a way to get it to work while having swype enabled for the soft keyboard.
Turbo, I have everything checked for hardware qwerty. Maybe ill just wait for root and vanilla 2.1-2.2
Long click on a text field, input method, touch input.. then try
Oh my how we have de-volved.
Buy BetterKeyboard from the market, enable it, go into settings and check off "(experimental) show suggestions for physical keyboard". No device is perfect right out of the box and that's why we're here.
Its so weird that it auto corrects everything in gtalk! Try it out let me know if its only my phone
Okay so the phone autocorrects everything perfectly, other than in the stock messaging app! But gtalk browser and email all get corrected. I also installed handcent and it autocorrects in there! Seems like the stock messaging app will definitely need an update.
I am getting significant lag when switching from portrait to landscape orientation, which was not present on my Galaxy S2. Anyone getting this as well?
Yes, me too. It's even slower than my Desire. Only got it yesterday afternoon so haven't played with it a massive amount, but I have a gut feeling it's an ICS issue.

I am getting this as well but I don't think its an ICS issue.. it seems more like an ICS feature.. who knows.. its not that bothersome though.
I remember with my orginal desire I wished the rotation was less responsive.
Are you referring to the animation lagging or that there is a delay before it starts the transition?
If it's the latter, i do believe it's considered a "feature" to prevent accidental changes in orientation.
Theres going to be a whole host of errors and issues... brand new os barely out of beta.
Should be fun!
I started a thread about this yesterday its my main issue with the device.
i actually prefer it taking a while to spin, my Desire used to annoy me so much the way it was so sensitive i ended up disabling auto rotate most of the time :/

It's the latter. Transition animations can be turned off and it doesn't change a thing. Probably a good thing to prevent accidental orientation changes, but I would give users an option to set it the way they want.

Yeah - I wouldn't class this as "lag", it's just a delay to stop accidental rotation.
This used to annoy the hell out of me too on the Desire Don't have this problem anymore.

Yes, it's the latter. My Desire didn't bother me, so it's a personal preference thing. With this in mind, surely there should be an option to change the delay time? Maybe something for 4.1!
I suppose everyone has their individual preferences; for me it's a bit annoying with the delay especially when looking at photos in the gallery, where I want the transition to be pretty quick.
hello i feel that the keyboard is quite laggy, do you?
is there a way to correct this?
and also, i feel the buttons are kind of small how can we enlarge them?
thanks

Try this, it seemed to help mine. Go to settings: developer options: check force gpu rendering. This fixed my laggy keyboard. Also is anyone else having trouble with the keyboard not auto capitalizing the first word in a text? Mine seems to do it at random?
I'm on here searching for the same answer. I only have the problem typing in landscape mode. Portrait is perfect. I can literally type a full sentence while its lagging out and then it spits it all out at once. I'll try the force rendering but then I'll have to worry about some apps not being compatible.
And the no auto-capitalize only affects me on the first word of a message. It gets it every time after that.
One good thing; portrait typing is great for me! Even with my large hands. I'll just stick to this if I can't get the landscape to smooth out.

Well it appears that Force Rendering does help my landscape typing. If before I was getting a 2 second delay (just an imaginary number to simplify things), now I'm getting maybe 25% of that. It is still lagging, but it doesn't lag behind more than a few letters at a time. I think I'll disable it for now.

ok thanks a lot it realy worked. Regarding the size of buttons any solution?

Hi guys,
I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.
The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.
Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..
Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100
Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..
Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...
Edit:
Possible workarounds:
- flip to landscape and back
- use chrome in multi window mode
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.

Thanks for your reply
Found out a strange thing:
If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?
At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully )
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.
I think is software related.

Happens on mine too. To clear it try flipping it to landscape and back

I had this problem also but only in Chrome. Finally gave up and went to Opera. So far zero problems. I recommend you try that.
Same here. I hope an update will come soon.

Have you posted it to Samsung's pages? If so, got a link? I'd like to help push getting this fixed. Thanks.
This is a known problem in Chrome:

As you note, you can easily fix the offset by switching to landscape mode and back. I'm am curious, though, which other apps you've observed this problem with. The only app I've had a problem with is Chrome.

And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..

Interesting... does it go away if you switch to landscape then back to portrait the way Chrome does?

Nope, still present. But didn't play much with it since I prefer gesture control. Haven't reported it to the developer either..
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=260804
Please star the issue, unless one of us has some epic insight on how to fix it.
Seems from the comments on the bug that a fix will be coming in Chrome 29, whenever that gets rolled out. Those running Chrome Beta should see it sometime next week.
Hello again all, with this one I was curious if any has any one encountered anybugs sense they have gone to the latest update??
But before updating I wast able to use xda on tapatalk
And now with the latest update i have issues with the xda app and in Firefox when I try to replay, make a post that i end up in the quote typing, the reply box just keeps next line down and I can't get back to what I am typing and eventually just have to use Chrome,
And not sure if it a ul5 but it seem my touch whennim typing is pretty bad it end up with alot of typos but it could be fat thumbs and something I assum could be hogging up my ram but I change my virtual ram to 6gbs and fresh rate is 60htz vs the 120hrz but let me know
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, just updated to the new software (Dec firmware) but I am still having issues with auto rotate stack widget on my fold 4. Can anyone don't mind help me to test pls?
To replicate:
1) Have stack widgets on cover screen on home page and 2nd page, press and hold, edit stack and have auto rotate on for both pages.
2) Turn off cover screen mirroring
3) Unfold phone
4) Fold phone
5) Edit stack setting on cover screen.
Does the auto rotate widget switch to off on the home page? How about the 2nd page?
Thanks!
Lock screen disappears on front screen, just can see the wallpaper.

Yeah, this bug happened awhile back in OneUI 4.x (which got fixed by a keyboard update if I'm not mistaken) and now it's returned. I avoid using the Fold to reply in a forum... I have to resort to using different device.
