Why is messaging typing so slow?

On nearly every ROM i have used so far the typing for messaging, be it an email or a text, just crawls along. It is so painful. I have to sit there and wait and wait for the words to catch up. I'm sure you all know what i'm referring to. I did a search and didn't find a thread about it, although i am sure a solution is out there. Much thanks i you can point me in the right direction.
EDIT: P.S. Please pardon my faux pas....i just now realized, i did not mean to post this to this forum. Mods if you would like to move to the main Raph forum please do so. Cheers!
Mod Edit: Added the cab from the Kaiser forum to speed up keyboard as it works on the Touch Pro as well.

try disabling xt9 and see what happens.

I've noticed the same issue here! Still haven't found a fix tho ;-\
Kewlj1313

not sure where "x"t9 is, but i am pretty sure i have any t9/word complete options turned off and it still crawls. I pretty much want to get rid of that black box that appears around my words above the input area...i think that's the culprit

Did you really disable word completion under settings / input ??

Not sure why this is such a stupid question, as i would be keen to know the answer myself. You can wait ages for the input to catch up, once you have finished typing. So if anyone can help on this, i too would be grateful.

I checked again and there was one more word complete in there somewhere that was not turned off....did a soft reset and it seems to be working normally Thanks for telling me to check again!

I have the same thing, too. When I slide open the phone and start typeing away, i have to let the letters catch up so I can see what I'm typing.
Kinda annoying...

Hello,
Could you please tell me where the other text completion format is?
I went to settings and messaging and turned that off as well as in the advanced config.
Thanks

Nevermind, it is still delayed for me
The settings are where karloe says earlier. Just check all the options and such everywhere in input settings, but i'm still getting delayed typing. It sucks

Fn + Space then choose ABC.
I know this is pretty obvious but I didn't know it, I found the solution here in the forum. Hope it helps you as it helped me.

I did that and the link took me back here!!

Bump
I've tried every tweak, etc. out there....i am guessing that not everyone is having this problem then?
Another thing i notice that is annoying is that when i create a word it tends to save that word in the "word memory" just above the typing box, and if i jump to another part of the message and it still has saved that last word i typed, it will insert that word if i put a space or type a letter. Also very annoying. I have no word complete's or anything are turned on.

Mine works just fine...
But typing was very slow on my old Mogul.

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?
Best regards,

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?

SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!

talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...

Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.

I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.
Great Day,

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.

I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:
Hi,
So what you are saying is that auto space option can only be turned off in abc mode? Is there even auto space in abc mode? How does auto space work in abc mode? I am sorry, but I cannot seem to make any sense of this...

Im using SlideIT with Danish language pack and dont have that problem.
I use v. 4.1.0.3.

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.

New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...
Dear Sven Erik
We meant that when you are tapping after a word in slide mode you will not get the auto space
if you slide you will get auto space always

Hi,
Okay I understand. But why have you released a version with an option of turning off auto space if the option itself doesn't work?

[Q] Manually edit SlideIT dictionary

I know it's been asked once in this forum before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986911) but I didn't have permission to bump due to my <10 posts.
But yea, I'm really bothered with how many unnessescary words are in my dictionary (using Swedish, not that it matters, but just FYI.) and also by the fact that alot of words start with a capital letter (names and towns I get, but sometimes other random words do too.)
So, I was hoping someone could figure out a way to edit the .dat file (found in data/data/com.dasur.slideit/app_databases/).
..or, if all else fails, even figure out a way to just completely erase all words so I can enter the words i use from scratch, with no unnessescary words what so ever.
Thanks!

I think there's only two ways to do it...
Either clear the SlideIT data to remove all the words, or when you see a word that you don't want, click the whole word and then the minus sign to get rid of it. But that's kinda tedious though.

[Q] N5 has learned a phrase. Now I can't type anything other than that

I once typed "DONT ANSWER" in a message, now whenever I go to type "don't" in a normal sentence, Google Keyboard automatically changes the word to "DONT".
This is driving me mad.
I have deleted the cache and app data from Google keyboard to no avail.
The word is not in my personal dictionary.
Please could someone give me some advice on this, I feel like such an idiot and I've not managed to find answers using Google.
Swiping types correctly.
It corrects to DONT and then suggests the word ANSWER next. Is there some sort of Android User phrase book that is causing this? What do I have to clear!

Problem solved.
I had a contact:
Name - DONT ANSWER
Deleted the contact, keyboard issue fixed.
*facepalm*

Can't figure out dictionary or saving words...

hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but I cant find an answer. I cannot figure out how to add words to the dictionary. Lets say I want "hv" to mean "have", I dont see any way to save this somewhere. Or even if i just want "hv" in the dictionary by itself. There seems to be no way i can find to set this up. if I look in language and input I have the samsung keybd as grayed out and checked on and below that the swype keybd as checked on and available to change. If I enter the settings of swype, there is a dictionary there but no words in it. How do I add my own words to a dictionary?
Thanks in advance.

Usually you can just save the words you want to the dictionary while you're typing them. When you type there will be auto correct words at the top of your keyboard with the current word you're typing in the middle. Just tap the middle word and it should give you an option to save it. Hope you understood that..
