[Q] Keyboard Lag?

Today my phone started to lag while I type text messages. I tend to type fast, and if the keyboard starts to lag and I continue to type fast the keyboard will lock up, then a second later it will type all the keys I just pressed.
I have vibration feedback turned on, I have not downloaded or installed anything lately related to my keyboard, or any input, hell I dont even thing I downloaded or updated anything in the past day or so.
I am on froyo, and and on telus. HTC's seem to just love to lag when using keyboards... My last 2 phones (s720 and touch pro) both lagged like hell when using the keyboard.
Anyhow, anyone having this same problem, with a 1 ghz processor I should have no troubles pressing a couple buttons... :S (and havent had any trouble up until today)
I dont want to turn on vibration, I was typing on an iPhone the other day and it felt real weird to type without vibration.
I've also cleared out a bunch of texts, and rebooted the phone, neither helped.

How many texts are loaded on the screen ?

I woke up today and it seems to have gone away..
What the hell :S

My keyboard sometimes lags, but only if replying to a a long thread on the digital spy forums using the phone in portrait mode. Holding the phone on its side foxes this for me.

I also noticed this
If you replay on a long mal with many intermediate stops (RE:s and FW:s), the text you type has to be inserted before the rest of that long conversation and it indeed reacts slower.

[Q] What kind of lag/issues, if any, have you been experiencing?

As this is my first Windows Phone and I wasn't really sure what to expect when it came to fluidity, I was pleased with how smooth everything is. However I've begun noticing a decent (read: annoying) bit of lag when I open up the messaging app and begin typing. The letters take a second to appear and autocorrect is slow if it comes up at all. The lag only last maybe 3-5 seconds but annoying none the less. I've also had some rather bad experience with laggy apps, with Skype being the worst culprit. I read good things about the recent refresh, but it's pretty much unusable for me. I've also been having issues with losing LTE and having it drop down to "4G". A simple toggle of airplane mode fixes it, but it's gone from happening rarely to happening once or twice a day now. When I do have LTE though, I have 4-5 bars constantly.
Anywho, bit of a wall of text but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues and if it's worth going to AT&T and seeing if they'll replace the phone for me as I'm still within my 30 day return window.
EDIT- Just remembered 2 more issues. Had it reboot on my when adjusting the volume and there's a weird clicking noise that happens when I swipe from the first picture in the camera roll. The phone is on silent, and it only happens going from the first to second picture. Little odd but not a big deal.

The only problem i have seen is:
When i switch off my phone and turn it on sometimes it freezes and i have to turn it of an on 2 or 3 times in order to get it working. this has been happening recently i dono whthere it is to do with some apps or firmware issue.
sometimes the touch screen also give hiccups specially on facebook app.
No other problem. coming from samsung galaxy s 2, i only miss the ability to change my homescreen every week with a different launcher and layout. The apps that i miss are Tweetdeck, 100% working Pulse, Youtube and Facebook App.
My Lumia 900 playing Angry birds is so much faster and smoother compared to SGS2.
Overall i am happy with the looks and performance of my phone.

I get that messaging problem as well sometimes where the keyboard lags and the typing noise doesn't keep pace with my inputs.
Mildly annoying and it's not constant so no big deal for me.
Sometimes, multitasking stops working and I have to do a quick power-off.
Actually, all issues are resolved with a quick reboot as opposed to a reset with my Lumia 900 which is something I can't say about my HD7.

I agree with above. The only lag I get is the occasional facebook load time lag. Some apps take longer to load than others, it's perfectly reasonable. As for overall lag, I had one experience yesterday where everything just slowed to a standstill. It was the first time I had to restart the phone, but after that, I've seen no problems. I can imagine it was a corrupt app as I had been downloading quite a bit of them that day. Coming from android for 2 years, the experience here is much much smoother. My advice, as i learned from the past 2 years, is to retrace your steps and find out when exactly it started to lag. When you find the beginning see if you downloaded any poorly rated or laggy third party app, or if you changed a seeting on your phone. If it continues to lag for no reason, you might just have a bad device. Best of luck.

I just upgraded from a Samsung Focus. My very first reaction was that the screen was slightly less responsive than the Focus, which was buttery smooth and instantaneous. It felt slightly, but noticeably less responsive. After using it for a day, I don't notice it anymore. I am sure it is there, but my memory of the Focus is not as near. As far as true lag goes, I have not experienced any after 2 weeks use, and no reboots or freezes.

I'm glad you are enjoying it but I came from the original focus myself and had the exact opposite reaction. That it was much faster and smoother than my old focus... I still have it and my kids play the old games on it so I can compare regularly and still feel the same.

Does anybody have lag when they are pinching and zooming on heavy desktops websites? i am getting a lot of lag here where my htc titan did not get that lag.

The only issue I seem to be having is when playing any kind of music or watching videos. If I touch any of the capacitive buttons, it's as if I long press them. Not a huge deal since I usually only touch the back arrow anyway, but that's all I get.

i was wondering if anyone else had this problem. My lumia has consistently not displayed maps in nokia maps or the maps app. It will show my location on a blank black or patterned screen (depending on the app). It's not a wifi or data issue because it's happened on both. It's happened five times in 3 days. Each time i've had to shut the phone off and restart it and it works again. Is this just a problem with mine? Thanks.e

it is a problem with your device, so do you have web browser lag or is that problem only with my device.

Touchscreen scrolling and swiping problems?

Is anyone else having issues with what appears to be dead areas when scrolling, swipe texting or otherwise using your phone? In typing this message the phone just lost my finger on 4 occasions. When scrolling webpages it often just stops and clicks an area where my finger was. I'll get occasional double clicking on things when I do try to click. I have trouble purposely replicating my problems but in regular us it is driving me nuts. Because I can't constantly replicate I'm not sure trying to take the phone back will be successful. Anyone else having issues? Could there be something I'm missing somewhere?

Sounds kind of mean but I hope your issue is isolated. I saw the ifixit teardown and the ease with how the digitizer came off of the glass has me worried about the longevity of the digitizer.

Happening to me insanely often on my regular Pixel.

This happens to me occasionally. Sometimes, when typing it spams v and b. If I find anything I will fill you in.

Yes, I'm having this problem with my Pixel. It happens across all apps, even in Settings. Generally it happens if I start scrolling after not touching the screen for a little while.. for example when reading a news article. The scrolling freezes, and I can move my finger around on the screen and it doesn't react, but then it might pick up my finger again and the screen jumps around or clicks on something even though I've not lifted my finger from the screen. I tested it in safe mode and it happens there also. I even got my original device exchanged, and the same thing happened immediately on the new phone. I've been in touch with Google Help this morning and they've confirmed it's a software issue. They've asked me to submit a bug report. It'll help them if more people report the bug though and they have more data to fix it, so if you're experiencing the same issue, please report it! You can chat directly to Google support through settings on your Pixel.

Haven't had any issues but I know the google keyboard can be a bit glitchy at times. I used to have a nexus 6P and I would get weird issues with that keyboard as well on that phone. Getting them less on my Pixel though.

Having issues with typing on my 6P, it's so odd as sometimes I can not type when in desktop mode and sometimes not when in mobile. Switching the webpage screen mode and also doing a soft shut off on the phone and coming back both fix it temporarily. Thought at first using a different keyboard app might help but what app it runs does not solve the problem.

Same problem here. Google pixel

Happening to me as well. Did a factory image flash and it seems to have helped but still happens once in a while. I notice it the most when I'm using reddit sync. Seems to just happen too frequently.

Just an update on this... After doing a few steps suggested by google tech support like, test on safe mode, factory reset using bootloader method, etc... They just replaced my unit. I'm using a new one today and problem is not existent now. I would assume the problem would be hardware.
To be honest, I'm quite happy with their tech support...24/7 support and the staff are really competent. This in my opinion, is worth the high price of the pixel. Good job google!

I have the standard Pixel, and I too had issues with typing (occasionally wrong letters or spaces would register), and dead areas in the top corners of my screen when trying to open apps. I was going to return it one day after confirming that the dead areas at the top of the screen were persistent, but for some reason I decided to grab an App from the bottom of the screen and move it by sliding to the top area. Instantly this cured the dead area issue, even after I moved the app back to the bottom of the screen. It's as if it recalibrated the touch sensitivity vertically as it stopped erroneous spaces when typing too.

Pixel 2 one handed thumb scrolling issue
I have the pixel 2 and I have intermittent scrolling issues when I hold it one handed and try to scroll with my thumb. I realized it's because the base of my thumb is brushing the opposite side of the screen and preventing it from scrolling freely.

You should probably post about that in the Pixel 2 forums.

Scroll lag/stutter/phantom touch

Anyone else having an issue with scrolling? Sometimes scrolling is smooth as butter, but occasionally it stutters or doesn't fling as fast as it should. I've even had it scrolling in an app in the opposite direction that I swiped, or seemingly not register a touch. Rarer, but has happened a few times, I feel like there was a phantom touch on the screen. Like a part of an app opened or closed as if I touched the screen and I had not. I'm really hoping I don't have to go through an exchange process.

I noticed this, especially when I'm scrolling and images are being loaded. When scrolling threads with the XDA app it stutters when avatars are being loaded.

Lag
I have lag so far on Bluetooth streaming in car...really freaking annoying...and also playing games. I love this phone but they need to fix this asap (8gb ram 128gb storage)

This seems to happen when apps are loading things - Facebook, heavy web pages, etc. Try scrolling in your contacts app - I bet it will be smooth.

I have experienced the "phantom touch" by way of apps just closing out of nowhere like I pressed the home button when in fact I hadnt pressed anything at all. It happens most with Chrome but I have had it happen with others. The first few days I couldn't believe how smooth the phone was (most likely because it is quite the upgrade from any phone I've owned since the S5) but recently I notice lots of little hiccups and stutters.
The main thing I notice is it seems like there is a random dead spot in the top left corner where touches do not register. Examples of this are the menu in Magisk and the X to close window in SoundCloud. Sometimes it registers, sometimes it doesn't and takes multiple tries before it will. Its a pretty big area for touches to not register and it happens multiple times a day.

Sorry to bump an older thread, but do you have these touch issues constantly, or only in certain situations? A couple of weeks ago I noticed my touch screen gets some issues when the phone is charging, and goes completely crazy when my phone is charging and I ground myself electrically. Touches are not registered, trying to scroll is interpreted as a tap, scrolling is all over the place because touch recognition isn't smooth and long taps are hard to do.
But I also have slow scrolling speed in Facebook and Facebook messenger when not charging. Other apps scroll just fine.

hi.. i just have my 5t for 2 weeks.
and this past few days i notice the button action delay.
example i try to make a call i pushed call button like 3 times. but no action.
then after few seconds it make the call. then i cancel. then it make call again. its like delay. i pressed 3 times it will call 3 times consecutively.
and also i pressed apps on home canot open. i try to open from inside menu it open.
is there any way to fix this? thx
sorry to bump old thread again.

Pixel 2XL Touch Sensitivity Issues

I've had this phone for about 5 months now and one thing thats been bothering me for most of the time is the phones touch sensitivity. Lately also it appears to be getting worse.
Phone is completely stock
I am on Pie and I have the newest update.
I am not rooted
I am not using a screen protector
I do not have huge hands or particularly fat fingers
first I don't use a lock on my phone, so I swipe up to unlock it. Most of the time it take multiple swipes to unlock, most of the time its 2 or 3 but sometimes up to 5 if not more. Is this livable sure but let me tell you it's getting really really annoying after just 5 months.
Scrolling on the phone has always been odd, it feels choppy at times, especially when scrolling in apps like facebook or the browser, scrolling outside of apps seems ok. Its like it's missing some of my inputs or applying some sort of acceleration or deceleration based on how fast you swipe and its just doing it poorly. Now again this is just an inconvenience but still...coming from a Note 8 the scrolling was always smooth..never once did I notice it being choppy.
So these two I just chalked up to how the software was implemented..it was what it was
So fast forward to now....I'm noticing even more issue with the touch sensitivity....words dont type right , I often miss spaces when typing, I thought it was my bad typing but now I really think it's missing some of my inputs because its worse than just my bad typing. The worst is when I go to correct words and hit the right word on the top of the keyboard is misses the word. It doesn't always put it it..it misses the touch and it does this a lot.
If I try to highlight something it will at times highlight the wrong row or word...every now and then it will highlight something not even close to what I was trying to highlight, like another part of my hand accidentally touched another part of the screen, but it didn't. I try to duplicate this when it happens and I cant.
In the same vein, sometime I touch something on the screen to open a link or something like that and it will touch something else close but not what I was trying to touch, again sometime something not even close will register like I accidentally hit something somewhere else...again I cant duplicate it.
It will register touches when I'm not touching the screen, just holding the phone....I think maybe I accidentally "touched: the edge of the screen but also I can never duplicate the action
Im at a point here to I feel like there is either something wrong with the screen on my phone or I need to turn to rooting to see if the issue really is software and maybe its been fixed by the community.
I came here to check about rooting but I thought I would ask the question first and see what people thought about the issue. I did a search and there definitely seems to be others having similar issues and a lot of those people seemed to be having screen issues. So maybe it really is a hardware issue and I should just skip the root and talk to google?

I have almost the same issue. Any solutions !?!

Try a factory reset and see if that helps any. If it doesn't, contact Google; a warranty replacement may be in your future.
