Switched from an HTC Amaze to the Galaxy S 2 (Issuse) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I switched from the amaze to the S2, the first thing the stands out to me, how slow the keyboards are on the S2. I could text pretty fast on the amaze and never have a lag issue, as with the s2, sometimes it won't even pick up a key stroke or a word I have entered. I am a huge 4x3 T9 user, I loved the keyboard that was on the amaze, Is it possible to get an apk of that keyboard and put it on the S2?
Could it even be a screen issue? I feel like sometimes I have to hit the space bar 2 or 3 times.

Keyboard lag is a key known issue with ICS.. If you want a T9 keyboard you might want to consider a third party apps that does it because I have tried to use keyboards from LG HTC and others and I could never get them to work

Well that blows, is anyone attempting to roll out an update to fix the issue? As far as my last statement, the screen doesn't recognize a key stroke for instance, when i press the space bar. Does that fall into the same issue?

It always recognises my keystrokes but sometimes it's delayed.. Turning haptic feedback off seems to help.. Some keyboards from the market work better but all seem to get the same lag from time to time depending on what application u use

I have no problems with any keyboard i use... and my phone is lightning fast with an 8100 quadrant score...what rom are you on?i had an amaze an i hated it... the bt and WiFi had no range and that's just for starters

I don't see an option for haptic feedback on my S 2. But there is no vibrations when I make key clicks.

Have you loomed in the sound section of your ROM for haptic feedback. Also for a fix you are looking for this is what custom ROMs are for. May I suggest you start flashing and testing

I have been thinking about flashing a custom rom, but at the same time this is my only phone and I don't have a lot of money. The chances of bricking it are slim, I'm tech savvy, but if i do I'm SOL. As for haptic feedback, there is no option under sound...
Where is a good place to start at flashing? the basics, programs, knowledge base? thank you.

Well when you stated that you have a XXXX score in QUADRANT anybody can assume you are referring to a score with the QUADRANT APPLICATION. What you have is a XXXX score on benchmark using ANTUTU BENCHMARK APPLICATION. The best score using QUADRANT I see posted for our phone is 4780 if I'm not wrong. I just trying to clarified the confusion, not starting a argument.

Antutu is a benchmark APPLICATION, not a QUADRANT APPLICATION. You are confusing the terms. Just go to GOOGLE PLAY STORE and search for benchmarks and the first or second is QUADRANT STANDARD. I got the ANTUTU BENCHMARK, and my score with CM10 is 8040. But with QUADRANT is only 3980. Hope that clarified the confusion.
This ifs the latest ANTUTU benchmark.

Overclocking ?

I would like to know if it's possible to overclock without running a custom rom and just running a rooted EH06 stock. I used roms b4 but now I just want to stick to the stock Touchwiz. I happen to like their feeds n updates a lot and a few other stuff. Plus might be handing my Epic down for the gs2 wen it arrives. So is it possible?

This oc app really made my phone unstable, and it ran hot and killed batteries. Though, it could have been a combination of things tthat I did. I would not recommend it. But, good luck!
I didn't try the kernel. I just found it odd that a kernel was available through the market, so I stayed away from it.

We can oc the processor but has anyone tried the ram?

I was just on a website that had snapdragons complete lineup thru 2012 and I found our msm8960 and it says we have xxxddr2 @533mhz (XXX bcuz I can't remember the freaky model number). I don't no if the kernel devs have already oc'd the ram and just decided not to say bcuz it wasn't important but is it possible?

Not to call you out, but that's impossible. Here's your scores vs. my stock scores.
CPU - 51,129/14,819
Memory - 5172/5328
I/O - 10,828/11,452
2D - 926/971
3D - 2207/2025
So all the difference is in CPU and your score is 73% higher than mine. That's physically impossible from the same SoC. Indivual iterations of the same SoC can be faster and slower but usually by 10%. So either someone's been play with Photoshop or the SoC in that device has been drastically altered.
I dont know how to use photoshop and nothing has been altered thats why me and my bro in law were like wtf

Let me introduce you to AnTuTu; it's free on Play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.ABenchMark&hl=en
If your device is actually generating that score in Quadrant it will be equally high in AnTuTu. It should take you above five minutes to download and run. Less time than it's taken for you to start and comment in this thread.
So basiclly your asking me to run antutu let me download and run its probably just a glitch in the app

You posted an absolutely outrageous Quadrant score that's roughly three times what even those who overclocked their SoC are getting and then said "can anybody beat this?" So yes, either you're simply in awe of a mistake in the app or you're trolling. It's hard to tell which at this point. In all my time on XDA I've never seen "a glitch in the app" to the degree you've posted that was accidental.

Android 4.3.6 Is this a mistake!?

I was using the AnTuTu benchmarking app, and when I was scrolling through the results something caught my eye. One of the people's versions for the epic 4g touch was android 4.3.6.This must be some kind of mistake right?! I've attached the screenshot of my phone for proof.
