I've noticed that when I'm texting using the keyboard, it can take a few seconds for the words to catch up to what I am typing. Its weird, I'll be finished typing my thought, but I have to wait for all the words to show up after I'm done. I've turned off the autocorrect and other options thinking it was the cause .. but to no avail. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
also want help with this
I have the same problem. A friend of mine with a non-HTC, WM6 device also has the issue too. My guess is it's just WM6 being slow and not the fault of the device.
Same thing here...
but i think it happens to be due to the lag.
Because ill get a text message...and ill open it...and it will be on the screen.
Then i will open my keyboard it would switch to landscape and i will start typing, and if i look up, it would be as if the words were trying to "catch up" to my typing. But after like 5 secs it would be back to normal.
Maybe just the lag that comes out of openning the keyboard?
I think it's the lag too. Because if this happens when I notice my device is running slow. After I do a hard reset though, when it's the fastest, i don't have this problem.
The other day I typed a six page paper on my phone and there was no lag; I had just done a hard reset.

It worked for the Tilt. I haven't tried i yet on the Fuze but it was a game changer for the Tilt.
I would blame wm6.1 for the lagginess since all the phones i've used have this sort of issue. Add to that tf3d and your processor is working ot.
umma have to try this on my Spint Touch Pro

By the way my Fuze (with stock ROM) doesn't have a delay. It's one of the few things I really noticed on the change from the Tilt so I don't have a need to try it...sorry but hope this helps
This is likely entirely related to the amount of 'stuff' you have going on in the background, on a clean ROM you'd be hard pressed to get this to happen. The more stuff you pile on, the less responsive it's going to be. I didn't notice this behavior for the short time I was running the stock Fuze ROM, though, so a 3rd party program may be the culprit.
I think its because the OS give priority to redrawing the screen, and your text message comes second. Every WinMo phone I have ever used will lag a little bit when chaging the screen.

It is pretty small if you ask me. I've found that rotating your thumb "around" the center circle hardware button zooms in / out on the text. It doesnt work so 100% smoothly (WinMo again probably lol) but it does let you enlarge text. you can also set your typing text and system font to be larger elsewhere but I dont recall off hand.

Do you own a touch pro?
Tell us,is it worth installing this cab?
Are you really seeing an improvement?
i just installed it it definetly seems quicker
of course when sliding out the keyboard there will be catchup just because its working extra but after a few seconds its all good and stays fast

Yeah I have a Touch Pro and I think its worth it. I've been texting all day on it and the catch up has been improved greatly.
Yea I also just did the suggested tweak and now it takes about half or less of the time to catch up. The lag is usually only a few characters now.

im running NBD 8.0 and i find the touch scrolling kinda annoying..especially in IE.....i try to push on a button and my screen starts scrolling all the way to the bottom...is this supposed to happen? is there a way to disable this? Thanks!
I seccond this. I find it very annoying as well when I'm trying to click on a text message and cannot click on it and it takes several tried to actually click on the text that I want to read.
I really hope there is a fix for this because its more of a nuisance than its worth.
Keyboard lag is driving me nuts. Regardless of which rom I use, it's still there in one form or another.
I either get missed characters, too many characters (a problem someone else mentioned with Dutty's latest hybrid), or the thing just gets incredibly sluggish with presenting key presses.
It's almost like there's some background process that needs to clear out before the keyboard gets the full attention of the device.
Anyone got any ideas?
try turning off "Word Completion" feature, it might help
"Start" ==> "Settings" ==> "Personal" Tab ==> "Input" ==> "Word Completion" Tab ==> Uncheck
Good luck
Ive tried that and its still lagging

If you have TITL and flashed HTC rom, install the attached CAB file and SR.
If you have TyTN II and flashed AT&T rom, do this:
Remove the following value from your registry:
Find this key: HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd
Either delete "CWSLayout" or set it = 0

I've got a original TyTN II and mine lags aswel
I quit using the keyboard altogether. I use the cootek keyboard (http://www.cootek.com/index.html) I can type faster on it than the keyboard anyway. Just took a couple of days to get used to it.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in this then. It seems a real shame that a device as powerful as the Kaiser still has these problems with keyboard lag.
I might try installing a touch screen one again. But then, if I'm not going to use the keyboard, I might as well go back to my Touch
What about settings/buttons/up/down control I usually increase the repeat rate a bit and it improves for me.
In addition to turning off Word Completion, I also unchecked the Autocorrect option.
I immediately noticed that all of my keyboard lag problems disappeared.
Tried all of the above so far, and still have the problem. To be honest this single thing makes me want to get rid of the Kaiser completely. It's so annoying!
ok heres my problem..... i have an att tilt and i flashed to the HTC rom but now my symbol keys are different and i ran the keyboard fix and its still the same same anyone have any suggestions?

Follow the instructions in TaurusBullba's thread about the Tilt keyboard here. Worked for me when I was running HTC-based roms.
this problem is a mixture of things such as your Kaiser going through the stored words with Auto-correct on as well as other things. the best thing to do is turn auto-correct and complete off as well as increase the repeat rate set the first delay to short and repeat rate to fast and you should be good to go. also clear your stored words list every day and it will type as fast as your fingers can go.
Please, someone answer the question: does everyone have this stupid keyboard lag/double letter problem or is it just some units? I want to know whether it's worth demanding a replacement or if I will just get the same problem all over again
I just changed my settings to the above posts and my tilt is fast now.
No lagging problems.
Hi:
I have a 2 week old Tilt (stock ROM), no keyboard lag at all.

I was having the same EXACT issues as everyone was complaining about but once I increased both rates in my button option and went to the "input" and xt9 option in programs(I have that because I have the dualtouch rom from dutty) and turned off word completion and all the rest of the options, I have absolutely no lag now.

If you will go to settings -> buttons and raise the repeat speed it will fix this problem.
Tweak it up and down until you get it where you like it. I noticed that if i put it all the way up it was putting in too many letters.
no matter what rom i try to use, ( i got tilt by the way) when i send sms or just type anything with the keyboard it doesn't always register all my keys. i press them firm and slow and yet it doesn't Always take the key i pressed. have to wait a min or two. any way to fix this?

Sounds like bad keyboard?
this is the weird thing, keys work fine when i first install a fast rom. it seems like phone slows down and lags a bit. im 100% keys work fine as they do when i go to a 6.0 rom. it is with 6.1 that gives me the problems.
srry i should have said with 6.1 roms.
Ive noticed the same thing with 6.1 roms.... And really the threaded SMS, and maybe a slightly quiker boot time is all i notice better on the 6.1 roms
ok well maybe u can help me with my other issue.
how do you find out what hardSPL you have on your phone?
i dont remember what one i put on there. and i tried putting new 3.56 just want to make sure it is on there and was put on right.
try disabling xt9....that made a huge difference for me...
I disabled XT9, and while it made texting easier... I always have to proof read before i send.
O ther wis it look s like thi s.....

actually what will help the most is to set suggested words to 0, using kaisertweaks or advanced config, but of course that answer should have been easy to find as i've answered it personally at least 20+ times. Also disabling autocorrection seems to help too, but i think that the suggested words is the most significant improvement.
I have the same problem with my tilt. Dutty 6.1 hybrid. My problem seems to be limited to a slow space key though. so texts look like:
thisi s howm any of myt exts look.
I am going to try some of the suggestions and see what works.

There is no "on the fly" word suggest or spell check with this ROM.
Problem with keyboard and screen
I too have had problems with the hardware keyboard. I have tried 3 different roms, all with the same problems. Disabling T9 does help, but doesnt fix it entirely. I have also had a problem with screen taps not being recognized.
In both instances, it appears the phone is busy running another process and it takes a few seconds for it to focus on the program I have running. I have checked taskmanager when this happens and the only running program is the one im using.. Perhaps a program that runs on startup in the background?
Does anyone experience this? I find it really irritating. Sometimes its really smooth, but most of the time it doesn't work as well when you try to answer text messages.
Anyone has this keyboard lagging problem or is there any solution to it? (I've disabled the word suggestion and it still lags)
Its an WM feature
i dint find any issues as such...
Same porblem here
I also have this keyboard entry lag problem. Even with word suggestion disabled.
I am running original Stock rom, and hope that the next update solved this porblem.
Dangit I hope this problem won't be a continuation from the Kaiser/Tytn II/Tilt. The skipping letters and keyboard lag issue is one of the main reasons I want to upgrade from my Tilt. No matter what ROM or HardSPL I use the phone can't keep up with my typing speed.

Well i didnt really have this problem with Tytn. Now that this happens, I felt really disappointed with the product.
As I know,that lag occurs,when you start to type immediately after sliding-out. The system is that time too busy with display rotating and that causes the lag(that;s the reason,why I want to disable autorotation,but don't know how to). It is OK after few seconds and it is displaying the chars as I type with no lag.
Im also victim of keyborad lag. Never used to get in on my TyTN 2

If you disable autorotate, wouldn't it stay in potrait mode when you're doing your typing?
I agree, only lag issues I have experienced is if typing starts immediately after pulling keyboard out. Worst scenario is to open Messages, then slide out keyboard and immediately try to start typing. Phone is at that time starting message program, changing screen orientation etc, so no wonder lag.
Just open keyboard, then click messages, wait for sec and you should not have lag...

thanks for the tip, but doesn't improve much of my situation. wonder whether it has got to do with any tweaks i've done in the registry. In any case I'd try hard reseting and try again. Should it be the same, I'd guess we'll need new ROM updates to see if it improves the situation on the auto-rotate.
I mean it's really tough to switch your style when it comes to existing TyTn users. "message comes in -> slides and reply"
That's what I do usually. hmm.

no. not really Tomas, I'm a ppc noob
I have the same issue, however, even whenn waiting for a few sec's after opening the keyboard, it will still lag..
I have checked if I have other processes running, but I am not. It will start typing fine, then lags for a couple of seconds, then types normal again, after the lag. It will give me a lot of double lettres in the text I typed when the lag was occuring.. Very, very annoying
The hardware keyboard was the reason for getting this pnone. I used to have the QTEK9100, and there this was never an issue...
Mine is a straight out of the box MDA Vario IV, received from Tmobile friday..
Would a ROM change help in this case? I don't want to loose my warrantee on it...

same here, not just when starting also during typing it stops for 10 sec, then continues. Also when using sliding keyboard iso display keyboard when fields are filled partially with characters these become unreadable when switching to sliding keyboard. iow sliding keyboard cannot be used always and cannot be switched to/from display keyboard. also after hardreset and rebuiling touchpro problem reoccured from start.
any suggestions??

Hi Everyone
One of the great (IMO) features of the transformer is that when docked you can just bash away at the keyboard in the springboard to reveal results.
For example if I type "Jones" it would bring up contacts on the right with the name Jones
If I typed Engadget it would search google for that, all of this without me pressing a key
I loved it.
I took the plunge with CM10 and now if I choose to do this it chucks me straight into google now, which I don't mind except for this one problem...
I'm quite a quick typist so when, for example, I type "Engadget" what happens is that the first "E" gets inputted but then the cursor somehow goes to the left of it so I end up with this "ngadgetE"
If i do it slow i get way with it, but im so used to doing it quickly that it's doing my head in the search with the keyboard was one of the things of beauty with this system and or some reason it's just kicking me out each time.
If i've not explained this well enough I apologise, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and if they managed to fix it ?
Thanks guys and girls.

I have this same problem... I feel like most people don't use the keyboard because it is so expensive. This is a major cripple of the device, if you ask me. I have been dealing with this for what feels like months, and just started looking for a solution. I am running stock firmware, and I assumed it was because I needed to perform a factory reset. Unfortunately, that had no effect whatsoever. Just caused a lot of wasted time on my part. I am considering CM10, but now I am weary. I also wonder if I would lose out on a bunch of hardware-specific drivers and whatnot. That tends to happen on the custom Android builds off of AOSP.

Your mind can think faster then your fingers can keep up with. At least on the smaller sized keyboard of the Transformer. It's a symptom of ADHD, One that in fact I enjoy, as it lets me type faster then my coworkers, and I have busted tendons in my left hand.
Actually a lot of what is happening to you is that when you are typing, your fingers "glide" across the keys, and in that you inadvertently perform a differing function causing the curser to return to home. Remember you have 3 things going at once. Your brain typing, your fingers typing, and the keyboard trying to get it all to show up on the screen.
And yes life is REALLY bad when you have a studder. While I can say that 99% of us that have a verbal studder also have a dexterity studder to go along with it. Thank God for backspace.

FYI, this is simply a bug with Google Now on the Transformer series... It might be that Google wasn't expecting so much lag to exist on a device when they coded it... The system definitely caches/buffers the keyboard input, because every letter pops up on the search--just the first one doesn't get inserted until the system catches up, (the cards load in Google Now.) The first letter isn't ALWAYS at the end--it just depends how long*you type.
