[Q] Poor keyboard performance in landscape

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

[Q][JB][ICS?][Stock] Side zoom in "Browser"

Hey guys, just wondering if you guys know how to disable the side zoom in Browser?
I noticed this first on JB roms based on leaks, but I don't remember if it was in ICS.
If you don't know what I mean, basically when you're using browser and navigating horizontally through a webpage, the very side of the device, left or right, will initiate a zoom function. I can only imagine it's a test to get around any possible pinch to zoom lawsuits.
However, it's really annoying! Couldn't find a setting.
hmm, now that I think about it i'll try about::config or one of those. I'll report back, please let me know if you all know how to disable! TY

No, it's on ICS too. It's in the Setting/Emotion.

How odd, I don't see it in the settings motion area.

Just bringing this thread back to see if anyone has a solution. I can't find a way to disable this in Settings/Motion either, and entirely turning motion off doesn't fix it. Really annoying to be happily scrolling around and suddenly have the page start resizing for no reason.

Nope, this is a new "feature"!
Will require decompiling and modding.
Im planning to look into it but not right away. If I get time this weekend ill see what I can do with it.

Was this ever done?

Anyone figure this out yet? This crap started with jellybean. Stock browser and Dolphin both do this stupid side zoom crap. Firefox and Opera don't. It's so annoying I actually might switch to Opera instead. Dolphin was the greatest but this 'feature' is radically annoying.

Question Oneplus 9 pro - edge browser

Good day.
Hopefully won't get flamed for this.
My issue is one with edge browser on oneplus 9 pro. There is this massive delay between when I click a text box and when the keyboard actually pops up. I don't experience this with chrome. Only within Edge browser. Does anyone have edge installed that can try it?
Trying to figure out if this is a 9 pro issue or more widely based.
Thanks

Same here

Oh, I hate to say I'm glad, but I'm glad it's not just me. Are you dealing with it or did you switch back? I'm trying to figure out how to give feedback, maybe just in the app store?

Same problem here too

Thank you. I submitted a bug report to the edge email group. Curious to see if I get a response.

Same here, I've switched to using Opera and Firefox.

Seems to be a problem that occurs when using 120fps. When switching to 60fps, the problem doesn't occur.

Really, I am going to try that. Got to assume a oneplus bug at that point right?

Interesting, you are correct. I was able to reproduce it. That is very odd.

Just wanted to communicate that gboard was updated today and I no longer have the delay with the keyboard on edge. So thata good. I will test other apps but that was the only one I was personally having issues with.

Spoke too soon. Closed edge and opened back up. Same issue. So not fixed.

I am having the same issue. I could not figure it out so I'm back on Chrome for now.

You could try an app called AutoHz for now, it allows you to enforce a refresh rate for specific apps, you could enforce 60Hz for Edge.
The upper refresh rate is shown as 90Hz, hopefully the app will be updated to allow multiple refresh rates up to 120Hz
Might also be worth trying Edge Canary to see if it has a fix already, apparently there's been a few features added to bring parity with the Windows version too.

Thanks for the info. I started switching over to edge in the last few months including syncing pwords etc with the android version. Wanted to try and stick with it but might have to go back to chrome if nothing else works. Thanks again.

The new Oos update fixed the problem.

Amazing, thanks for the update. Thread can be closed.

Question Pleased with myself - different launchers on the two screens

Been a while since I tinkered and so with some trepidation I thought I'd try the switching between different launchers using Tasker.
After some swearing I managed to get it working using the guide HERE
Got Niagra on the front and Nova on the large screen!

Thanks, man! How well does it work for you?

Thanks for the tip. I got it going too. Now I remember why I hated it. I had some fun with it for a bit though. Definitely not efficient but without hex or root. It was a nostalgic trip back to 2010

Can't seem to get it to work. Just a question, once i set it up i get [ No active profiles (3 of 3 enable) ] on the notification panel for the tasker. Is it supposed to be like this or the profile should be active for it to work?

use state any sensors to help detect the hinge angle

Sorry, I didn't get it. Can you please elaborate.

state > sensors > any sensor > hinge angle

That's awesome. I bought Tasker like a year ago. Everytime I download it I open it, get frustrated, then uninstall it, lol.

I think I love niagra though. It's so minimal on that big screen i think it would be better to just create a one page widget than run two launchers. That side animation was on one preset years ago. I sent my phone to safe mode play with stuff using adb today still have no idea what I did that prompted it.

@jemfalor Sorry I am a noob to the tasker. Where do I select hinge angel in the any sense?

under type, press magnifying glass

@jemfalor thanks for the help mate but it is not working for me. I will pass into it until someone post a detailed video as I have done everything right which Is mentioned in the guide but still no luck.

it is working. just learn to figure things out. change interval type to sample,

Works, but it's glitchy. Sometimes the stock home screen returns until I press the home key. When the device is unfolded and the main screen is visible, pressing the home button causes Nova Launcher to reload, which is pretty annoying. Worst of all, after configuring this, the keyboard keeps reverting back to the Samsung keyboard instead of Gboard, and sometimes the keyboard refuses to pop up at all. Time to undo this damage.

does "tasker" work faster than the "Bixby Routines" method? im using Microsoft launcher (small) Nova 7 (larger)

Pretty instantaneous I find, and if the wrong launcher shows, (although this is rare) a swipe up reverts the screen to the correct one.

The Bixby Routines version works well for me.
Now.... If there was only a way to have two instances of Nova Launcher running on the device at the same time, I could have version one layout on the cover screen and version two layout on the inner screen.
Anyone any ideas?

Maybe you can help sorry for bothering you. Everything seems to be setup except when folded or unfolded I have to hit the home button manually for the launcher to change. Do you happen to know how I can fix this?.

The little green light comes on when the camera/microphone is accessed... If you weren't using an app that was supposed to be using the camera (or microphone) then some other app was spying on you...

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.
