It seems to be noticed mostly with keyboard. And never lasts more than a second or 2 at most and then starts working again. It's such a short pause it's hard to notice unless you are really interacting with the device a lot for awhile like typing a really long message or doing a lot of scrolling. Could easily never be noticed since the pauses are rare and only a second or maybe two and then it's back to normal. I suspect a real update that isn't one of these patches with maybe some kernel optimizations and CPU optimizations will fix it as it seems to be related to something with the CPU or GPU tuning maybe even.
Anyhow if anyone else is noticing such a thing please reply and confirm I'm not alone....it's not biggie, but if I am doing a lot of texting it does become more apparent and annoying...rarely notice it just scrolling on a web page as I read as I probably miss most of the pauses as they happen easier than when doing a lot of typing...basically disrupts flow less then.
I should add the keyboard pauses are pretty much identical whether I use Gboard or swiftkey. Pretty sure any will do it as I get exact same pausing when scrolling around web pages.
I have to add that this gets more annoying the more I encounter it. I suppose it's about once per 500-1000 characters or so...but pretty random so maybe a lot more or less. Just not rare enough to no annoy a few times a day if you are sending lots of messages!
Guess I am the only one noticing this? I hadn't started fresh from the get go....I did bring over all the things from a Mate 9...settings and apps and data and all...but doesn't seem related to any app or anything in particular. Just minutia I think I have noticed in the custom ROM realm that can happen if you get a kernel that isn't optimized well. Somehow guessing it will be gone next update...but L29 first real major optimization update seems to be slow to come. Any word on official Euro launches anywhere? I could see a majore L29 update push setup for something like that when it happens.
Count me in. Typing with swiftkey is better but still got typing issue here and there
Swiftkey is doing same things and so does scrolling...jist more rare with scrolling seems most common in the Google messenger app. I may resest after update...but if my case is unique I figure it's just related to me always restoring messages and such in some apps even if I start fresh. No reason that shouldn't work though. Had always worked on Mate 9.

I don't. Only reason some of that restored this time around was due to the Huawei device migration regime. To me that should work if it's on offer...even if you skip at generation like I did from 9 to 20. It went off without a hitch with only annoyance being it rewrote the pictures and other documents to the 20 X with a new last modified date of when the copy was happen rather than like when picture was taken or last modified. It's still in metadata for library type browsers...but I can't stand the Apple style library browsing regime for some types of files and documents.
Anyhow there is no reason the google messages app should have keyboard interrupting like I am seeing. I have seen chrome stall it's scrolling in similar short pause sort of way also though and it has started fresh. So have to assume it's a combo of things that are partially some lack of optimization in this latest L29 build. Really noticing as I write this it's not happening here...so it's also what app you are typing in specific even. May try the stock messenger and reset messages as I do andaybe return later and see if that helps.
I mostly got this issue with Facebook Messenger, sometime in forum post

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.

ever since the google voice update, with the widgets. Whenever I boot google voice the phone locks up for at least a minute before allowing me to click a message thread, then. When I load the message thread it locks up again for awhile before I can finally type the message. Exiting out causes the phone to lag a little bit on the homescreen. Any suggestions or others with the problem?
How large are your sms threads? It has been not breaking them up as frequently (or at all sometimes) as before, once they get above 300 or so for me the lag gets worse.
On the other hand, I've had it lag on occasion unrelated to that issue as well. I don't launch voice from the widget anymore, seems to usually lag more than if I just launch app from regular icon. Don't know why that would be.
Since installing the new version of voice it has been doing this to be all the time. Very annoying but I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I erased all my messaging thread except two and it still lags. Both threads were 15 messages in size
I've experienced this too. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems to be a little better.
As this is my first Windows Phone and I wasn't really sure what to expect when it came to fluidity, I was pleased with how smooth everything is. However I've begun noticing a decent (read: annoying) bit of lag when I open up the messaging app and begin typing. The letters take a second to appear and autocorrect is slow if it comes up at all. The lag only last maybe 3-5 seconds but annoying none the less. I've also had some rather bad experience with laggy apps, with Skype being the worst culprit. I read good things about the recent refresh, but it's pretty much unusable for me. I've also been having issues with losing LTE and having it drop down to "4G". A simple toggle of airplane mode fixes it, but it's gone from happening rarely to happening once or twice a day now. When I do have LTE though, I have 4-5 bars constantly.
Anywho, bit of a wall of text but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues and if it's worth going to AT&T and seeing if they'll replace the phone for me as I'm still within my 30 day return window.
EDIT- Just remembered 2 more issues. Had it reboot on my when adjusting the volume and there's a weird clicking noise that happens when I swipe from the first picture in the camera roll. The phone is on silent, and it only happens going from the first to second picture. Little odd but not a big deal.

The only problem i have seen is:
When i switch off my phone and turn it on sometimes it freezes and i have to turn it of an on 2 or 3 times in order to get it working. this has been happening recently i dono whthere it is to do with some apps or firmware issue.
sometimes the touch screen also give hiccups specially on facebook app.
No other problem. coming from samsung galaxy s 2, i only miss the ability to change my homescreen every week with a different launcher and layout. The apps that i miss are Tweetdeck, 100% working Pulse, Youtube and Facebook App.
My Lumia 900 playing Angry birds is so much faster and smoother compared to SGS2.
Overall i am happy with the looks and performance of my phone.
I get that messaging problem as well sometimes where the keyboard lags and the typing noise doesn't keep pace with my inputs.
Mildly annoying and it's not constant so no big deal for me.
Sometimes, multitasking stops working and I have to do a quick power-off.
Actually, all issues are resolved with a quick reboot as opposed to a reset with my Lumia 900 which is something I can't say about my HD7.
I agree with above. The only lag I get is the occasional facebook load time lag. Some apps take longer to load than others, it's perfectly reasonable. As for overall lag, I had one experience yesterday where everything just slowed to a standstill. It was the first time I had to restart the phone, but after that, I've seen no problems. I can imagine it was a corrupt app as I had been downloading quite a bit of them that day. Coming from android for 2 years, the experience here is much much smoother. My advice, as i learned from the past 2 years, is to retrace your steps and find out when exactly it started to lag. When you find the beginning see if you downloaded any poorly rated or laggy third party app, or if you changed a seeting on your phone. If it continues to lag for no reason, you might just have a bad device. Best of luck.

I just upgraded from a Samsung Focus. My very first reaction was that the screen was slightly less responsive than the Focus, which was buttery smooth and instantaneous. It felt slightly, but noticeably less responsive. After using it for a day, I don't notice it anymore. I am sure it is there, but my memory of the Focus is not as near. As far as true lag goes, I have not experienced any after 2 weeks use, and no reboots or freezes.

I'm glad you are enjoying it but I came from the original focus myself and had the exact opposite reaction. That it was much faster and smoother than my old focus... I still have it and my kids play the old games on it so I can compare regularly and still feel the same.
Does anybody have lag when they are pinching and zooming on heavy desktops websites? i am getting a lot of lag here where my htc titan did not get that lag.
The only issue I seem to be having is when playing any kind of music or watching videos. If I touch any of the capacitive buttons, it's as if I long press them. Not a huge deal since I usually only touch the back arrow anyway, but that's all I get.
i was wondering if anyone else had this problem. My lumia has consistently not displayed maps in nokia maps or the maps app. It will show my location on a blank black or patterned screen (depending on the app). It's not a wifi or data issue because it's happened on both. It's happened five times in 3 days. Each time i've had to shut the phone off and restart it and it works again. Is this just a problem with mine? Thanks.e

it is a problem with your device, so do you have web browser lag or is that problem only with my device.
This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse.
For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and the phone keeps completely freezing for up to 10-15 seconds EACH letter I type! It's not just the SMS app itself, but even the keyboard freezes up and is unresponsive. I can keep typing and it will apparently actually record the next 30 or so taps and just blaze through them ... then lag for another half minute or so again. None of the settings (how little there are) have had any effect. Once I click send the message also takes a bit before it appears and starts to send. Any action with this contact open in the SMS app seems to lag my phone like a unusable nightmare.
Since this is the person I tend to text the most, I have been tempted to crush the phone in my hand at this point. It is ONLY happening with them, and ONLY after the 4.4.3 update. It's not consistent either; I was still having this issue earlier today, but right now as I wanted to text him again it was working perfectly lag-free.
I know the first response anyone is going to say is to wipe my phone, but with this being the only issue I have, I really do not want to completely obliterate everything and start over from scratch just to fix one person in my SMS app. On top of that, I want to keep my SMS texting history as well. (Plus I would have no idea if restoring a backup wouldn't also restore the issue).
Has anyone else encountered or heard of anything like this? Or has any ideas of anything OTHER than wiping the phone or my SMS history I can try? Considering the app only pre-loads the last 10 or so messages when you open a contact anyway, I highly doubt it's my history. I am going nuts with this stupid thing.
It is probably something in that message thread.
Deleting all messages from that person will surely fix it, based on what you've said.
You can try wiping the messaging apps cache. Other than that, I think you're stuck.
Second the opinion above. If it's only one message thread doing it, seems likely it's something unique to that thread. Too many messages, pics, etc. I used to use Titanium Backup to save messages between rom flashes, back when I cared about them, so a backup app can save the messages, let you delete the thread and see if it still happens with a blank slate.
This happens quite a lot to me while browsing the Web on phone. While scrolling down it looks like Chrome has locked up but eventually it starts scrolling again.
Anyone else had this issue and addressed it?

I've noticed on some sites that are meant to load the next part of a webpage before you get to it, this happens and may be what is happening here. Things like ad-blockers and data-saving features in other browsers can help, but by the nature of these sites, it is inevitable no matter what device you are using.
I wanted to chime in and say that I have noticed my chrome locks up too. Came across this article: http://drippler.com/drip/how-make-chrome-faster-android
I am trying some of the tips now. Thought I would share it.
Try to uninstall it and try taking odd the battery and reinstall it once the phone comes back on. I do that to a lot of apps that lag and seems to be working.
I had this issue as well, but it only seemed to last for a couple of days last week. I am on Beta if that matters. I cleared the cache, because thats the smart thing to do whenever anything seems wonky. It also is the smart thing to do anytime. Not sure if it helped or not, but I haven't had the issue since.
I used to get an issue with blank screens when loading pages after the cache started hitting 500mb or so. Clearing the cache fixed that, but that also hasn't happened in a long time. Maybe these things are related. I just wrote it off as the pain of using beta.
