hey so im a noob to android! ive been on here reserching some stuff but i think its time to actually say i need help....... ive heard that touchwiz's keyboard sucks and have google keyboard now but still seems like my messages app is lagging like crazy...... i don't know if its apps running in the background or whatever it is (ive been with the iphone since the 3g.....) is there any tips to make my note 4 like crazy fast and stop the lagging?
Open the app store and type the word Keyboard in the search box. Read reviews from different users on the many different keyboards available.
I use text now for texting, gosms lagged as well and I haven't had any issues with text now

I have noticed that with the stock keyboards, whenever I type really fast they always fail to detect the 2nd keystroke that was made within short interval after the first one. Is there a keyboard out there that could fix this problem or is it a inherent deficiency with the capacitive onscreen keyboards?
On a side note, can anyone tell me where to download the gingerbread in android market? I have looked high and low and couldn't find it.
I honestly haven't used the factory keyboard... I've got Swiftkey X, it seems to handle multitouch. I've even tried typing leaving my first finger down while pressing the next - no issues.
That's not the reason I got it though, I got it because it's built on a slick predictive text algorithm, it predicts the next words it thinks you might want to type so you type less. And the voice recognition I like better too, if you use the voice-to-text... it gives you 3 options to pick from so you aren't stuck groaning at whatever it thought you said.
if you search for gingerbread keyboard in the market you should find it. I think the developer is steven lin and it is called "keyboard from android 2.3"
I am using swift now and it also has that missing keystroke problem. I have also noticed that text prediction doesn't work with at least gmail application. In addition, like the samsung keyboard, there is no way to force use my own "misspelled" word when prediction is enabled.

I came across A.I.keyboard, tried it and its like swiftkey with no lag and cool customization ...I'm really starting to really like this keyboard ...been using it the past few days and liking it alot...
No lag for me

I have just recently flashed 2.3.4 to my Epic 4G from 2.1. The first thing I noticed (besides how much prettier everything was) was that if I were to click on a word I had already typed into the messaging app--i.e. to correct a typo-- it would automatically jump to the end of that word. This is massively frustrating. I have now flashed to RandomROM Thunderhawk 1.1, and the messaging app still has that feature, as does every messaging app alternative I use: Handcent, GO SMS Pro, etc.
What I want is for it to not behave this way. I want the cursor to stay exactly where I press. I looked around in the general settings and in the forums and haven't found anything. Any ideas, anyone?
No responses? This is very uncharacteristic from what I've seen on XDA. Does anyone have any ideas? At this point I've just quartered my typing speed, so that I make sure I make absolutely no mistakes-- which has made me notice almost every mistake is the physical keyboard not actually picking up a key press, an interesting bit of information on its own-- but I would really like some help, if anyone knows how.
I've noticed that after the first few words while typing in ANY application, the keyboard for Nexus starts to lag behind the actual texting, you can feel it clearly half way through the first time, and by the 3rd line, I can type in 3 words before it registers on screen.... this is pretty problematic considering I'm still new to typing so I'm not typing that fast.
I actually like the spacing for this new keyboard, although I hate how I don't have commas, apostrophe's and question marks as a hold option on the first screen, if I wanted a keyboard that I had to press a key to access punctuation, I would've gotten an Iphone

huh? if i long hold on the period, i get those punctuation options - no need to press the ?123 key...
I sometimes have slight lag, usually a few letters behind. Its really annoying.
Same issues here...tried many roms with all wipes/reset...different keyboards...turning off haptic/sound/auto complete...flashing kernels...
I'm coming from HTC phones most recently the EVO3d and I gotta say Ive never experienced any keyboard lags ever...EVERYTHING was smooth as silk even with the heavy sense UI and bloated with apps...the HTCEVO3d ran flawlessly %99 of the time...
I switched to the s2 mainly because of the size and samsungs gorgeous displays but at the moment I am regretting it...this s2 is suppose to be one of the best phones in the world...I am severely disapointed so far though I am convinced this thing will fly once set up properly...
Im just ripping my last hairs out at the moment...I feel like Ive tried everything...right now I am in love with my MIUI rom setup and really want to stay but it is useless to me if I cant whip off any emails or texts without the keyboard stuttering...ANyone have ANY more ideas?

I have frequent short lags also. It'll hang on some letter for a short time.
I've had the same problem with the old stock keyboard on Gingerbread (sgs2) as well.
Galaxy Nexus->TapaTalk
I never have any keyboard lag in any application.. And I never have.. ever :/
Known issue where it lags in landscape - fixed in 4.0.3.
in which app does it lag? i tried browser, messaging, gtalk and google search and had zero lag.
i do remember though that when i was running stock, i'd get a slight lag in the browser when typing in the web address.
4.0.3 bigxie + franco seems to be absolutely lag-free re the keyboard, so give it a try maybe?

It is just 4.0.3 in general, not just that rom so any will work!
I have the issue in both portrait and landscape. Seems like if the app has a lot of text in it, it lags more. Search is fine for me, but gtalk, gplus, email etc lag to hell. Right now i have slight lag. I hate it because I'm also new to a virtual keyboard. Turnig off autocorrect doesnt help either. Apparently autocorrect just shut off here for no reason.
So 4.0.3 fixes this?
Don't turn off auto-correct, turn off spell checking (different feature).
Hi,
Did you ever find out what was causing this issue?
I've got the same lag issue on my new tablet.
Thanks!
Turn off gesture typing trail. It takes some time to get used to it, but it is definitely faster.

Hey,
I'm having some keyboard lag input on my Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean... I noticed it in applications like facebook messenger (sometimes) and whatsapp.
I find this very annoying and would like to know if anyone got the same issues or even ideas to fix it?
I had this problem on ICS, too.
You could be running a bunch of background **** that lags other apps. I have a pretty clean Nexus with next to nothing running in the background and I have no keyboard lag.

Yes, i have the same lag issues, so much for proyect butter, now the keyboard lags even more than on ics , i use whatsapp a lot and the lag is quite noticeable
The first thing I noticed about my GNex (coming from a Droid X) was how lag-free the Keyboard seemed.
I was super impressed.
The first thing I noticed on JellyBean was that my keyboard seemed a bit laggy despite all of the smoothness in every other UI element.
Maybe once source hits it'll have been improved.
Keep in mind...we're using a "preview" build currently.

As I said I am running Android 4.1 Jellybean, on ICS I just got these lags from time to time...
It's very annoying typing with such a keyboard, sometimes it doesn't respond to keypresses what means that it skips letters n' ****..
I haven't noticed a lag...
No lag as such on mine, but for some reason I find myself mistyping more frequent and hitting shift and delete rather then 'a' and 'l'. Probably just me though...

No lag over here. But I would love some MMS on my sprint GNexus.

This is a little off topic, both does facebook messenger work as expected in jellybean? For me there are no messenger notifications since I installed jellybean. I have to manually check if there are new messages.
As per the keyboard lag, try a different keyboard. I use Swiftkey 3 and I'm very happy with it.
Try going to settings/ language and input settings/ Android keyboard settings/ advanced settings and uncheck next word prediction. I remember I lagged A LOT and it seemed I was hitting random keys. Idk if this is related but I restored all my apps and data and the lag was horrible even throughout the entire system so I did a full wipe and only restored apps with NO data. Haven't had a single issue since.

Using German keyboard, sorry. But why don't you try to save "don't" to your dictionary?
Yep, getting TONS of Whatsapp lag. While scrolling, even the keyboard.
Getting a lot of lag but as soon as i turned off vibration when keys are pressed in the input settings it stopped majority of it but now its sometimes mistyping
Same here, but mostly limited to Whatsapp + Swiftkey 3 combination and only in landscape mode.
Swiftkey 3 works perfectly with no lag at all in all applications included whatsapp when used in portrait mode.
The same with the standard android keyboard.
In landscape mode, I can write SMS and other stuff (Facebook messenger etc) with Swiftkey 3 with no lag (at least at my writing speed I am experiencing no delay).
When writing with WHATSAPP and Swiftkey it is a disaster... after a sentence i have to wait half a second for the last word to show up after having typed it!
Things seem a bit better with whatsapp + android keyboard in landscape but still a bit laggy.
It seems tome it is mostly a whatsapp problem after all.

same problem here, first I tought it was something releated to the JB leak rom of my Galaxy S3, but now I see is something releated to whatsapp in landscape mode..
anyone has any workaround??
Hi. I noticed several times that either for almost no reason as I try to select my text im writing inside youtube app (dont use other apps/messaging to type much so I haven't seen it there) it just deletes it all. Mostly as im about to finish dragging the cursor to select it all or to replace the cursor. Whats happening here? WHy is it auto deleting stuff as im trying to copy or edit it? Is this my note 4 only? I noticed the clipboard is trash now too and doesn't save much of anything. I noticed the google devs have almost completely destroyed the reasons anyone would ever buy an android (starting with the recent lockdowns and other evidence they are working against the people who made them famous). Is this something I should expect to see fixed? Is it some gimmicky garbage like a swipe keyboard thats hidden (even though I thought I turned that off).. I would hate to have to switch to crapple, but when their competition is pure sh*t id rather have crap trendies love than pure sh*t the sons and daughters of the trendies love.
Please help me figure out my options here. Srry for getting off track but im sick of every android I get being semi better hardware and much worse software than before.
