When I am typing in the messaging application, I find that many of my key presses are ignored, seeming as though I am not able to spell or use proper punctiation, even though I have actually tapped the correct keys.
My messages might look like the following:
"Thaks fo your message. I was nt able to take the call at th time buI will be avaiable after 6pm. Thanks again!"
This is really annoying. It ONLY happens in the messaging application. I can type an entire document in Word without a single problem but I correct numerous mistakes in emails and text messages in order to avoid looking like a moron to recipients of my messages.
Is there anything I can do to correct this problem? I am using the Black Edition ROM right now and thought that this version fixed the problem. I also Experienced it with the LVSW versions and the other before that. I did not experience it in WM5 at all...

I have the exact error with all the WM6 roms, very very frustrating
I too sometimes get this problem, normally at the start of a text if I start typing quickly. it doesn't happen all the time tho only occasionally. using the lvsw rom at the moment but also had it with the SA WM5 rom
I've got this problem too, but in WM5.
same here on WMXL 0.2
I have noticed this on other WM5 devices but never on the Hermes until now. Is there something that changed in the messaging application that can be changed back to the way it was in WM5...hopefully via a registry edit?

I had this problem but it went away after I selected the option to have word completion only select words after typing six letters. If you have it set to do it after pressing the space bar it seems to cause a delay in typing the text after a key press.
I agree with nmonger, I have alleviated the problem by setting the autocomplete to only suggest after 3 letters (it was set to "a space" before). Also I have made it only suggest 2 words (it was set to 4).
I had this from day 1, it`s just not designed to work that fast...
i hope it`s a driver problem and not keyboard hardware problem.

So far this seems to have solved my problem. Thanks!
I knew it had something to do with the word completion. I set it to suggest 1 word but it keeps suggesting four. I just changed it to after 3 letters and solved my problem. Thank you for pointing that out. Now i don't look drunk when messaging at 11am!
Thank the man above someone else is having this issue as well....trying the word completion trick and seeing what happens.
worked for me - great solutions thanks
BINGO! an obvious solution in hindsight... thanks
cheers for that guys, it was one of those things that had bugged me for a while but not enough for me to look for a fix untill someone else mentioned it.

Worked for me
I was just thinking about how often I had this issue today. I was SURE I was pressing all the keys. I tried turning word completion off and that didn't seem to change anything (strange). I'll give changing it to 6 a try, that makes sense.
I have noticed this problem on the Dash, Blackjack, Universal, and a few other Windows Mobile devices...all WM 5 and newer. This is the first time I have seen a solution. I don't think this worked on any of those devices and that is why I posted. I thought there was going to be a more complicated fix on this phone too!
What really stuns me is the lack of complaining about the skipping issue on other devices, such as those that I mentioned, as I am sure I am not the only one who sees this happening on multiple devices.
I thought it was all down to me being lazy, a bad speller and having thumbs too big for the small keyboard.
Trying the solution and all seems well so far.
thanks a lot, it's working
Does anyone have a problem with a slow lagging keyboard while typing text messages. I noticed it after I installed the Black 2.5 rom. I have installed the keyboard mapping fix but that did not help the lagging issue.
I been typing like crazy today on my 8525/2.5 with MSN Live Messenger. Seems very fast to me..
I had the same delay...Can't remember if disabling the word completion took care of it or installing the memory performance cab from JJ that took care of it. I'm banking on the memory performance cab though.
I have noticed this issue a little bit, but if I remember correctly Ive had the problem even before isntalling any of the roms, and it only happened for the first set of characters that I types (usually the first word).
Has anyone else noticed this with the standard wm5 roms?
I've experienced the same issue.
I wonder if it was one of the patch cabs that I installed cause I have not seen a lag at all [yet]. Perhaps it is just waiting to pop up on me.

Are you talking about the pop up keyboard?
I think what the OP was taliking about is that when you first start typing with the pull out keyboard there is a slight lag, like with me, I'll start typing - it hesitates - and then it like catches up. Not only that but the screen even goes dim for a moment .
I don't remember if I had this issue before or not.
Nope, I was talking about the pull out keyboard. Seems to work very well so far. I just retested it in Work and in MSN IM.

Oh well.
I'm not going to concern myself too much with it, because I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be running 3.0
Similiar typing issue here on 8525
I've noticed the same typing issue using both Black 1.2 and Black 2.5 were it often lags or simply skips a letter (usually "h" after "t" leaving "te" instead of "the" or "s" after "i" leaving "I" instead of "is")
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8525 keyboard fix cab, but it does not help.
Two things I have noticed:
1.) The typing problem does not seem to appear until several days after I flash the ROM.
2.) It really only seems to affect the Messaging app. (When I type into PIE forms or Notes, the problem does not seem to exist)
Definitely did not have this problem in WM5, so I am hoping that the problem will be gone in Black 3.0
this is a real problem. I have experienced it with all wm6 roms I have installed. I have a strong feeling its related to the suggested word list that comes up....but this is a rediculous problem for us to have to deal with and should be fixed. I also agree that its limited to the messaging app.
Ezra
yes the problem i was originally talking about is with the messaging app only. i have no problems in word, or IE. I have the memory performance cab installed but noticed it before that as well. does anyone see a difference with the suggestive words disabled?
Put 3.0 on Hold

I'll PM JJ and ask him to hold off on the release of 3.0 until he's sure we won't have this issue.
Just Kidding. .
I actually started a thread about this a while ago but titled it in reference to skipping keys because I type so fast with the thumb keyboard that the device cannot keep up and omits some of my key-presses. However, someone suggested something that I had tried with WM5 (but it didn't work then) but hadn't thought to do with WM6.
Go to Settings>Input>Word Completion(tab) and change the "Suggest after entering" setting to something such as 3 or more letters. I have mine set to 4 letters and have zero problems with skipping or slow typing unless in a third party program such a TomTom.
a little out of topic...
but after changing to black 2.5 my time zone seems to be weird....i had tried to set it to GMT+8 Singapore time....but after a while it will change to another country thats GMT+8 but when i change it back to GMT+8 Singapore time.....it will be one hour early.....
I have the slow keyboard problem too.. Its making me mad.. And the black2.5 rom seems to slow down a heck of allot after a week or so use.. Any ideas why would this be aswell?? I only have 4apps installed.. One on today screen and rest only when i use it..
a slow keyboard is one thing, but skipping letters is another. (This issue pertains to not only Black, but also Custel, LVSW, and Dutty)
The thing is, when i text message, i start typing immediately after the window pops up. But for some reason, it lags, and then when it catches up i notice that my first 3 words are so are all butchered cuz letters were dropped. I didn't experience this issue with my MDA Vario / 8125. The worst that would happen is the text would lag, but would eventually catch up to my typing. And it WOULD NOT drop any letters. With the new wm6 roms for hermes, im noticing lag and letter dropping. I've tried the suggestion of even turning off autocomplete, and setting 1 word, 2 words, 3 words, and 4 words. Still having the same issue. I opened a thread about it long ago, but it just got closed because they "supposedly" deemed it a fixe issue. Well its not!
To clarify: I'm not trying to bash any of the rom chefs' work, as i am very thankful for what they do. But it would be very nice to have this issue addressed and fixed.
Has anyone tried changing the Up/Down Control repeats....
Settings/Buttons/Up Down Control?
I put mine up to max, and seems to have fixed my problem....
@ **Milo**
Hi and thanks for the sugestion , i tried it and my slow typing issue has gone. As an experiment i switched the rate back to where it was (about one third of the way up the slider) and its still gone. It seems switching the slider up to max cleared whatever setting was causing the slow down.
Im going to leave the phone on standby for a while then try it again to see if this has any effect on it.

Good to know thanks.
For me the biggest issues are -
1. Voicemail does not play back via Bluetooth. I use BT for everything so this is important for my business needs.
2. Slow data compared to my EVO 3D.
3. After reboot it always goes back to minimal screen timeout.
Swype switching to Spanish is annoying. I've had that happen twice and have no clue why. Also Sprint Music+ has stopped playing for me 3 times already. Maybe time to install DoubleTwist again.

On the swype keyboard there is a globe button at the bottom left hand side third button that you press to switch from english and spanish. That happened to me yesterday and I noticed that. Whats cool is you can switch to Spanish, press the voice button, and say something in English it will be translated into Spanish on the screen. I thought it was cool but not very useful for me.
And the wifi problems.
I have a problem where, I am in a conversation in Whatsapp, and i am done writing a message, and then i lock the screen, and when i unlock it maybe 15 seconds later, i type, but nothing is showing up, its just records what i press but doesn't type. I have to go the the main screen, and reopen Whatsapp to get it working again...
Anyone else notice this?
Its really annoying if you are in an intense conversation and have to act fast

Happens sometimes to me too and I am rooted on stock. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with whatsapp having an ICS bug.

Whatsapp used to have exact same problem on my Nokia 5800XM too, I think it happens because of Whatsapp.
confirmed this happening occasionally on LG optimus one.
therefore, it is definitely because of the whatsapp app itself
usually i just press back button for once, back to conversation list and go back to my conversation. typing works back so you dont need to go homescreen thats two steps back
Confirmed bug for me too

To everyone who replied, thank you! Makes my life easier knowing its not ROM/Kernel etc...
Filed a complain to Whatsapp, such a great app apart from this bug!

I usually press home button and then my Whatsapp icon on my main screen, usually goes fast, but still... rather annoying
How deep would this 'error' lie? Could devs fix it?
I get this exact same problem with Handcent! Currently using Swype, and like 30% of the time I will have to go back to the conversation list and re-select my conversation to start typing again.

Quick question, is everyone using NovaLauncher too? It sometimes happen with normal SMS as well. But 95% of the time it is Whatsapp

I am also using Nova, but I'm not sure why that would affect other apps like this.
Any solution to this problem?
Got the very same at my galaxy s6, too. Android 5.1.1
I'd also like to know if there's any workarounds for this. My wife's having the issue and she's blaming me. :silly:
I may have a workaround. I have the galaxy note 3 and i use a custom rom thats pretty much close to stock and I notice that if I lock the device and unlock shortly after, I can't type anywhere, on kik, what'sapp, gosms pro, even google search. So I've just decided to test things out and see what's going on and here is what I found....
Eventually I can type again if I simply wait, but no one likes to wait but this is the longest solution.
Clearing the RAM using built in cleaner or 3rd party memory cleaner seems to allow me to type again.
I didnt like playing the guessing game in knowing how long to wait before I can type again so in kik or go sms pro, I would type one of the native apps' emoticon and then hold the backspace button down until it erases it...then I knew it was ready to let me type again (I have haptic feedback on for keyboard presses so I can look away as I hold down the backspace button - this would let me know when it eventually erased due to the haptic feedback of the smiley getting deleted).
Since the issue occurred only after unlocking, I tried turning off the lock screen completely and turning off phone and back on again....keyboard types right away with no issues!
Its more secure to have a lock screen on the phone so turning off lock screen isn't the best option unless you're like me and are the only person at home with no worries of someone else taking your phone so I decided to try something else that seemed to solve the issue, and that is..............turning off "Multiple Widgets" in lock screen.....tested and worked! I can totally type again right away after unlocking the lockscreen shortly after locking it.
This is what worked for me and for you developers out there....if you can use this to pinpoint why this happens on android, perhaps you can use this information to rectify it.
Hope I helped!!!
Is anybody getting this weird issue when they're typing: The keyboard all of a sudden just goes away on it's own after 2 or 3 keystrokes. It happens a lot when I use the Bing Search function. I'll get two or three letters down then the keyboard abruptly goes away. So I have to get two or three key presses in each time I restart the process.
Anybody know what could be causing this? It's not just limited to my Bing Search, I literally got so frustrated trying to start this thread through my phone's browser that I had to dig out the laptop instead.
And this is happening on a Lumia 900?

the symptoms are those of the disappearing keyboard issue with mango. Its supposedly fixed in this release of mango. However several people have reported seeing it.
I suggest you report it to Nokia at the web site. You won't be able to fix it on your own.

Ok, I didn't know if it was a symptom of Mango or the Lumia. It's just so weird when it happens, I notice it when I'm low on battery more often, but idk what sort of relevance that would have. Thanks for the tip though.
Yeah, I get it quite often on my Lumia 900. Also my Radar still has it happen occasionally, my girlfriends Radar has it happen more than mine. All updated as well.

Are you sure you're not accidently rubbing you hand/finger on the back button? The back button, since it's universal, will remove the keyboard if it's on screen. And because Back, Home and Search button all use capative touch instead of having to push them, simply rubbing or bumping them will cause them to activate.
I had this problem when I first got my Lumia, but I've adjusted and adapted.

For me, definitely not. I've tested it many times on my Lumia and my Focus. It's definitely something to do with the keyboard deactivating itself. It happens to me a lot if I try to share an article I read in WP7 News app and go to email. When I try to type my name in the TO: field, I get one or two letters, then it goes away and I end up clicking/typing in the message body.
It seems like if I give it a moment to rest, then start typing, it's less likely to do it, but that's a little annoying, since I want to check my stuff and get on with things. Not a huge issue, mind you, but annoying none the less.
No, im not accidentally touching the back buttons.I'll ask my girlfriend if she's having the same problem, but it's gotta be a software issue from what I'm hearing now.

at&t has not rolled the fix out yet, but the lumia supposedly has it. Other carriers that rolled out the fix, still report some problems, though not nearly as widespread. AT&T says they will roll out the fix around the tango release timeframe..i think it needs more work.
Mine is doing it now after updating to the latest software, this sucks! I hope they fix it asap, very annoying when composing text and the keyboard disappear!

I have actually noticed this problem less and less as the weeks have gone on. It's not so much that I'm getting used to it, cause I notice when it does happen, I think it was just a weird thing. I haven't had a problem personally since the update either.
Hi,
I don't have this issue on my 900 nor does my wife see it on hers. That said, let me offer what I know about the keyboard disappearing from previous hardware/builds.
When I had this issue on earlier hardware (Focus/Focus S) it was caused by apps set to run in the background. When an app is set to run in the background, the app would shift focus away from the current user task for a split second, and if you have the keyboard out the keyboard thinks you've switched to a different task and it closes. The way I worked around it was to disable background tasking for all my apps (settings -> applications -> background tasks. Note that when an app updates itself, it will reset this background task setting so you have to reset it. I never saw this problem again after I updated my Focus S to 8107. Still, it might not hurt as a troubleshooting step to disable background tasks and see if the problem reappears.

so far, i've not encounter this issue with my phone yet, but seems to be affecting mango version only, coz mine is already on tango....
