My opera completely stopped auto rotating...
Also my picture rotation is very delayed and not consistent..
I know my g-sensor works fine because I calibrated it and player teeter and resco bubbles....
anyone have any idea? should I exchange it?
I always found with opera that screen rotation has been opera's "last priority". If I am loading a page and try to turn the phone while it is loading, especially images, there could be a 2-3 second delay before it rotates. Sometimes even longer. Usually after its done loading it is snappy though. (0.5-1sec)
mine does not rotate at all anymore...
but teeter works. So something is wrong
Also the album application also rotates very slowely. About 3-4 seconds after I turn the phone does the picture actually rotate.
have you updated to the latest version? Or uninstall-> reinstall?
reinstall what?
Isn't opera part of the ROM
I have the sprint touch pro

Ur right, never really thought about that heh. Nevertheles, here is a link to a new beta version that is supposed to be pretty stable, maybe it will work.

Happy New year everyone!
I have a problem that I could not find an answer to by doing a search. When I try to access my email folders in landscape mode I can see the folders but no words. (I can see the inbox folder but it does not say inbox next to it). Near some of the folders it looks as if all of the letters of the folder names have been place one on top of each other. It almost looks like a Chinese symbol. Sometime this is right next to the folder other times it is all the way across the screen. When the phone is in the portrait mode everything is fine. It is as if the screen isn't drawing properly.
I hope this make sense and I hope i am using the proper terms. Please go easy on me as I am new to this phone and really don't understand some of the thinks on this forum.
Thanks for any advice you might have!!!
I am seeing the same problem on my Fuze, but pretty much on everything that's text when I look at stuff in landscape mode.
When I try to enter text, the input box shows the cursor moving, but no characters show up. If I then close the keyboard, everything I typed is there in portrait mode. And I also see the jumble of text sometimes where there is a single "smudge" and the letters look like they're on top of each other.
This is VERY annoying, and I can't figure it out. I've only owned the Fuze about a week, but it seems to me it worked fine when I got it. It's as if I have installed some software (or perhaps it's one of the customization tools - I've run both Diamond Tweak and Diamond TF3D Config) that wiped out the fonts required for landscape mode.
The other thing is, it doesn't happen ALL the time, only about 80%. The rest of the time it works as it should.
Any help or ideas would be most welcome. If I can't see text entry in landscape mode, the flip out keyboard becomes useless, and I may as well have bought the thinner Touch Diamond.
I had this problem when I enabled ClearType in landscape mode...try to look at it if you have it enabled..and if so, disable it...
Thanks, that seems to have worked.
Is there a separate setting for landscape mode somewhere, or just the master ClearType on-off in Settings...Screen?
it's in Advanced Config or Diamont Tweak ..not sure, but one of it has that option
Tried that, and also modifying the registry directly, and neither worked. If the "main" ClearType setting is on in Settings...Screen, text in landscape mode is illegible no matter what else I do. The system seems to ignore the registry setting for turning it off in landscape mode.
While turning ClearType off does work, it's annoying to have to do it because the text in portrait mode looks so much better with it on. Oh well. I guess it's a bug in WinMobile 6.1.
In any case thanks for the quick response. I did a search in the forums here, and this is apparently a well know bug with no available workaround for the moment.
hmm, mine is working correctly...when I open Screen options in landscape, ClearType is Off and cannot be set to On...and in Portrait mode, it can be turned Off
DiamondTweak > 17.7 try that...if it doesn't work..hmm...flash ROMeOS or other ROM

On mine, screen options in landscape mode has cleartype set to "on" and cannot be turned off. It's grayed out. It follows the setting in portrait mode - if I turn it off there, it's off in landscape, if I turn it on there, it's on in landscape.
Tried DiamondTweak, made no difference.
ADDENDUM: Well, SOMETHING made a difference, because once I reset the thing, it now acts as you describe - I have ClearType on in portrait, and off in landscape. Woohoo!
Thanks much!
Hi all,
I am new to this forum, so please bear with me if I have posted in the wrong section.
I am with T Mobile UK and I have the MDA Vario IV.
Recently, I have had a strange problem when using my slide out keyboard. When I use the onscreen keyboard, I can see the text as I type. However, when I use the slide out keyboard, I can see the cursor moving as I type, but I can't see the text being typed. This happens when composing an SMS, typing into Google's search box, entering log in details for Facebook, etc etc.
As I am Deaf, I obviously use SMS and emails a lot, so this is a problem, as I find the slide out keyboard MUCH easier to use than the onscreen one.
Hope you can help.
Wayne.
How fast do you begin typing after you slide out the keyboard? I know sometimes when I begin typing too quickly after sliding it out that the cursor will move while I'm typing but no letters will be displayed...but then they all pop up at once.
Have you used a tweaking tool or registry editor to turn on ClearType in Landscape?
There is a known issue with the font not displaying.

Hi mate...
Ahhh, that could be it...let me try it & get back to you.
You are correct David....that WAS the problem!
Thanks - all working fine now
keyboard lag solved - possible software conflict
I had tried all the above fixes and they helped, but did not fully alleviate the lag. I was getting annoyed and wishing my hermes was still alive.
Then I remembered that the only real difference in my keyboard setups between the fuze and the 8525 was that I was using the iphone like full qwerty sip instead of the keyboard sip. i selected the finger unfriendly keyboard sip, and voila the slide ouy now has instantaneous response. no lag at all.
It seems to be that the full qwerty sip option forces a t9 function even when you have all that turned off.
Happy again except for the laggy shift between portrait and land scape.
now to find an iphone sip clone that doesnt affect the slideout. By the way this is with the recent stock att rom.
further issues with keyboard
The lagging keyboard issue continues to nag me. it seems to be related to the fuze having a difficuly time with switching to landscape mode. for instance in opera mini when i switched to landscape to type this there is no lag. if I am using messaging for text or email, when I switch to landscape, the lag occurs until I change the sip. it doesnt matter which sip i change to or from, just that it gets changed. i suspect that it has something to do with resetting the keyboard drivers. anyone else noting this problem. Anyone know of a fix? I have t9x turned off, cleartype turned off.
Hi guys!
I've updated to 41.2.A.7.8 but the one bug I hate the most on this device is still here on Android 7.1.1 – some of the keypresses are recognized as a straight swipe line when typing fast and thus Swiftkey keeps assuming wrong words. This happened as well on all past firmware versions I’ve tried.
You can easily check this behaviour by entering *#*#SERVICE#*#* on your dialer, choose Service Tests, then Touch, then Free Drawing test, and then pretending you're typing (both thumbs) at high speed.
This is even more evident when you are using Stamina mode, and more so in the more aggressive Stamina options, which leads me to believe it’s processor dependent. Xperia X also had this very same bug but was corrected with firmware updates so… come on, Sony! Stop screwing things up!

It's an issue with Sony moving to swiftkey as stock. Sony's own keyboard worked much better on older versions, you can still use it on Nougat, but it's a bit slower in touch response. This is why I use Gboard. If I could disable predictive engine in swiftkey, I wouldn't mind using it that much, it's annoying and I hate that blank bar above the keys, uses up the screen space. I also don't use gesture typing in any form, so the old stock xperia keyboard was always my favorite.
Ditch swiftkey, try something else and see if it's better. The issues people describe with keyboards in 7.0+ are non-existant for me. Or at least disable the gesture typing in swiftkey settings. But still, the predictive engine makes it laggy and glitchy, even though it is by far the best predictive and gesture keyboard out there.
The free drawing test isn't really a good measurement here, it's for drawing lines, not tapping. Use tap test and you'll see no matter how fast you tap, the digitizer registers taps. When you tap on the drawing screen and manage to tap a single pixel without touching the next one, it will stay black, it looks like it didn't register a tap.
The keyboard, and the entire UI in general, being laggy and slower in touch response while using Stamina actually makes sense and is completely normal. It lowers the screen refresh rate, the touch responsiveness and the framerate of the rendered content.

No it is not. This is an issue with the way touch screen inputs are processed, regardless of the keyboard you are using.

It isn’t better. Every other keyboard behaves exactly the same when the wrong inputs are interpreted.

That is even worse because when you disable gesture swiping, right to left (wrong) swipes are interpreted as deleting the previous word.

When these touch screen issues were solved for Xperia X, you got perfect typing behavior even when Stamina mode was on.

I don't see the keyboard issues when using gboard or atock xperia keyboard, although the stock one is a bit slower in response, so I don't use it.
The way it behaves under Stamina seems normal to me because it's how my ex z3 and z5 behaved and it makes sense. The performance of the phone is reduced, ofcourse it will be less responsive and laggy.
Not until we recieved the swiftkey, I havent seen this issue.
The way they "fixed" the tapping responsivness on the X was by not using so restrictive and conservative stamina profile, it didn't reduce the digitizer responsivness as much. It's a battery saving mode, after all, you can't have both with equal efficiency.
I'm sure they could do the same with the xz, but it would mean affecting battery life as well well.
Free drawing test makes no sense if you are testing tapping speed...
Or are people complaining about swipe input? If that's the case, than drawing test would be useful. For normal tapping on the keyboard, I see no issues.

Looks like you haven't even actually tried the Drawing Test yourself...
Some of the taps are recognized as a straight swipe line when typing fast and so this problem will always be present regardless of the keyboard software you're using.
Can anyone check this is still present on 41.2.A.7.35?

I have tried the drawing test when I read the post, also the tapping test, otherwise I wouldn't even engage in the conversation.
The lines in the drawing test do not appear on my unit, when I tap quickly on the drawing test it doesn't draw these huge lines.
Does this happen in normal mode as well or only in stamina? Cause I didn't try in stamina.
I'm on Customized CE 41.2.A.7.8, and the device is rev.1

You have to type even faster
This happens in normal mode as well as in stamina mode, but it becomes much more frequent in Stamina mode - in fact it becomes more noticeable the more aggressive the Stamina mode chosen.

I was tapping as fast as I could, faster than I would normally while typing a message.
But I guess I'm doing something wrong or I'm just a slowass typer so I don't see the issue.
Good luck eith yours, I hope you solve the issue or Sony fixes it.
Maybe start off by doing a full software reflash to a latest version released today? See if it helps maybe...

Hello.
I use SwiftKey (and Google too) and the keyboard have a lag that make imposible write fast with both keyboards.

I have the same issue. And I don't know how to solve it. Except without gestures.
I have full screen gestures enabled and no issues with swiftkey(beta). On what rom are you? I tested it with chinese stable and xiaomi.eu

Doesn't matter if I push the letters or just swipe, no lag at all. Maybe you can test the swiftkey beta app or disable spellchecking in input settings
Hello again
If I disable de voice comand, the problem persist.
I downloaded the beta and, the problem is the dame.
I Dont understand. If I disable the full screen mode, its solve the problem
Im not alone with this problem

I launch de app of swiftkey, after this i enter in multitask screen. Keep pushing the app of swiftkey and apears a lock (if the lock is close, the app allways in background)
After this the lag reduces a lot

I'm using this phone since three days ago and I immediately noticed this issue, and it is specially annoying when I try to use swipe writing. I suspected that occurs because the system doesn't know if your are trying to write using the keys located at the edges of the screen like q, p, etc. or just using gestures. In consequence I tried to adapt the keyboard using the one hand feature (Google keyboard) and putting it in the center of the screen and it worked, the lag disappear. I'm attaching a screenshot because my English sucks. I hope you can see this way what I did.
I tried turning on 'Show virtual keyboard' in Settings > Languages & input > Physical keyboard, and it seems much better for me now.

I have already reported to MIUI team but while they do something about it, i've installed Edge Gestures to replace full screen mode, to hide navbar i've installed Navigation Gestures and finally AutoNotification for hidding apps in background notification. I have lost gestures animations but works perfect and the only issue it's volume bar in landscape like the image attached.
This is a nightmare and makes the device horrible to use.
I reported it to MIUI team weeks ago. The best solution for now is disable vibration on keypress within Google Keyboard, which makes it way less noticeable.
I'm using miui 10 weekly on eu roms, the problem is still there...
I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.3 and it seems like it has been solved through software update. I no longer have the issue testing in sketch app, or using any keyboard with full screen gestures.
