[Q] Slow Keyboard

I was writing a reasonably long email today on the phone (which was dreadful enough ) and the keyboard kept freezing with the blue indicator still up. If I stopped typing after a short delay the rest of my sentence would come up and shoot across the screen as if I was typing it out. I guess it was still registering my keypresses while it was frozen/stalling. A couple of times if missed sections of text.
Was I typing to fast? Why would this happen and does anyone else have problems with the keyboard?
EDIT: Mods, please move to the Q&A. Thanks!

Landscape?
"Update: Thanks to read T4rd, we have a fix. Well, it seemed to fix the issue immediately on my phone that is.
Head into Settings>Language & input> and uncheck the box for “Spelling correction.”
This seems to have taken care of the problem. And don’t worry about this turning off auto-correction, there are separate auto-correction settings in the actual keyboard settings that remain active. This could turn off Android’s ability to spell check and underline words in red though. So in order to reduce lag, you would be disabling a feature."

Pretty useful to use voice typing function for those long texts or emails

I had the same issue when typing a long email. The keyboard was unresponsive and would still type but was really slow. Any ideas what caused this or how to fix it?

[Q] Does anyone else experience unlock screen lag on 4.04?

I updated my GN to 4.04 a few days ago(stock rom), but after the update I frequently experience lag when I swipe to unlock the phone. This issue does not happen every time, but definitely happen very often to me. Kind of annoying.
I tried to reset the phone, change the wallpaper from Live to static, also reflash it as well. But the issue exists anyway.
Is this a typical problem?

It happens to me also on stock 4.04.

I notice a little lag when using the pin lock screen as well, but not all the time.

Me too, I find that if i turn off 3g, the lag would be less. But I am not sure.

Try disabling auto brightness?

I notice it too. I think it has something to do with the screen gradually working it way up to full brightness now instead of just coming on at full brightness like it used to in 4.0.2.

I have the lag as well. I tried wiping everything but it's still there. Very annoying.

Lag for me too using the pattern unlock. I can finish drawing my pattern before the green lines even start connecting the dots. It still unlocks, but it's not smooth like it used to be.

No lag with normal unlock. With pattern I noticed a small lag (not picking up the first "circle" I hit) but it wasn't always there.

I find that this issue happens if I change the light circumstance from dark to light, but if I am in the room and the light circumstance is constant, this issue will not happen.

Lag here too

I also have experienced the lag. As some of you say it looks like it happens when the auto brightness kicks in during the unlock gesture.
I've opened an issue on the android forum if you want to star it and give it more evidence.

I have left my message there, this issue really bothers me.

No lag here. Not on 4.0.4, not on any version before. But then again, I don't use auto brightness since it's just too dark for my liking. Also the screen doesn't 'dim' when switching on when you set the brightness manually.
It's a bug for shure just saying if you want a workaround...

Lag
Experiencing allot of lag at unlock screen.

Lag is due to auto brightness. Turn that off and lag should be gone.

For those of us having issues with lockscreen lag:
From what I can tell, it has to do with "smart flex" that is in the newer kernals. Between that and the custom governors included in most roms, it is causing 4.0.4 to lag until the processor ramps up.
I was seeing lag in stock cyanogen kernel, franco's latest nightly, and the latest nightly lean kernel
The fix:
I disabled smarflex all together, and I have seen zero stutter since. (I am currently using franco, and his app allows you to do this pretty easily from one of the options)
Its too early to tell because it has only been a few hours, but I haven't noticed a hit on the battery.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

I have the same problem as well. How does one disable the smartflex?

CM 10.1 Bug

I'm running CM10.1 4/23, and i have this really small but annoying bug.
When you're in an app(ie messaging), when you hold the home button, and go to the recent app switcher, your supposed to see this sweet animation if the app getting zoooming out.
I sometimes see this animation, some times I don't... its getting really really really annoying. When I reboot, It usually works the first time, then the animation no longer appears 2 more times, then the animation appears once again.... Is it possible I could keep that animation on, or just turn it off completley. I've had to go back to touchwiz because I can't stand this stupid error...

I forgot all about the "task manager" trick with the home button. I've been playing with it for the last day now, and every time I get the animation. Both when I long press the home button to get to the app list, and then when I clear either one, or all at once. I'm currently on 5/11 nightly, so maybe it's fixed in the newer releases. Actually 5/11 nightly has been spot on. Super smooth, and no issues at all. I'm currently on 32 hours up time cause there is no RR, SOD, or reason to reboot. Maybe give it a try.

I just tried 5/11 and I'm still getting it
I don't clear all. I go toessagimg, go to task switcher, click messaging again, go to task switched the second time..... repeat process ....
The second the onwards, the. Zooming out animation dissappears

Got a question.. I installed cm10.1 on my friends s2. I guess he is having problems figuring out how to send multiple texts messages. Any tips I can pass along to him? Thanks

What do you mean by multiple messages? More than one at the same time or just a lot back to back?

If he is trying to send more than 30 in 30 minutes than he needs to go to settings-security- sms message limit and change it from default 30 to whatever he wants up to 500.

Can someone look at my original problem?

I believe he just doesn't know how to add multiple people in the "to:" Field. I know how to do it manually but he always sends out mass "just for today" n.a. readings to allot of people. I would show him but I'm not sure with jelly bean and cm10.1. Since my phone has its wip cm10.1 I haven't installed it on my metropcs lg spirit yet.

A few problems started arising

Hi, recently, my phone language started changing all from English to Deutsche, and this happens every time the phone is restarted. I have to manually change it back.
Second, keyboards periodically switch back from Swype or swift key to the default Samsung keyboard, even though it is set as default.
Third, keyboards become pretty unresponsive. Sliding frequently registers lag, even on stock
Lastly, alot of apps started to log out by themselves require re sign in.
Do anybody face these problems?
These are happening to my note 10.1 too

Hhmm, after every restart huh. I'm trying to figure out how on earth my stock Note2 would erase anything i save on my sd card after a restart. Might there be a connection?

Desire Z Keyboard's botton problem

Hello, I'm just opening this new topic for one really bad issue that appear on my HTC DESIRE Z.
When i need to write something and the keyboard appear, the letter "P" don't work.. when i try to push it, the system will push the first letter on the left. If i switch the keyboard in "numbers mode" the same botton work. The same problem, solved if i put the phone in vertical mode (the "P" letter work perfectly). Tried to change stock keyboard with another keyboard, but the problem remain... tried to calibrate the touch screen, but the problem remain... tried to make reset from the setting option and factory reset from the bootloader, but problem remain. What i can do? The phone have rom stock, never rooted and never changed the rom.
Help me please, thanks!
(sorry for bad english, but i'm an italian boy)

I take it your hardware keyboard works fine its just the software keyboard?
Get an app like zdevice test and run all over the screen and see if there is a spot that won't register. If so then you probably need to replace the digitizer
