Sorry if this has already been posted but I did not find it. I have a question about the keyboard. I mainly use my phone for text messaging. However many of these ROMs have a problem with a lag when sliding out the keyboard. I get a new message and hit reply and it takes up to 10 seconds for me to be able to type my text with the slide out keyboard. I have tried numerous different ROMs with differing amounts of free memory but every one seems to have this lag. I'm not sure if this is my phone or what. It even did this with the JUSTME ROM that was stripped to the bare minimum. If someone could tell me how to fix this issue or point me in the direction of a ROM that doesn't have this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
I've had a similar problem with a few of the ROMs out there. The keyboard has nothing to do with the lag in my place though... it's all a matter of how I go about replying.
If I get a message and hit "Reply" I find myself waiting impatiently for the program to load and the app to become responsive enough for me to type my reply. I found a while ago that if I launch the messaging app either through the Programs screen, via the Start Menu or by pressing the messaging button on the side (this is what I usually do) that the program opens quickly and I can get in and open the message and reply pretty quickly.
It's not a fix, but I hope it helps.
I don't do a lot of texting, but I don't think I've had the issue with the JustStable ROM at all... might be worth taking a look at too.
I found that if I limited the apps on the Today screen in 6 and 6.1 to 3 apps (messaging, calander, and time/date) my screen switched very fast when I flipped out the keyboard.

I don't know if I just never noticed this since I just got the phone on Friday but every time I slide out the keyboard, it'll show the landscape home screen for a few seconds and then open up the phone and I have to hit home to get back. Same when I slide the keyboard back in. I have changed a couple things like the clock, icons, slider, landscape icons, and so that the portrait left softkey opens contacts instead of phone. Any ideas? Thanks!
im actually having the same problem, everytime i open up the phone say to respond to a text message or something the phone screen (dialer screen) pops up and i have to close it and then go back to my text message inbox.
anyone know whats causing this?
This is a known problem that HTC needs to do something about. Some of the custom ROM's tend to do this with less frequency.
Same problem here! Have had the phone for around 3 weeks, just started happening yesterday.
Any solutions?
Thread isn't getting much attention.
I flashed NATF's latest Raphael RoOM (4.1) around a week ago, and I haven't had the problem again.

I believe theres a reg edit for this, but you must re enable it after a while.
Hi i had thesame problem, is something to do with animated taskbar icons, uninstal them and see whats hapened
This may be a stupid question and it may be because I'm running a custom ROM (NATF 4.2 if I recall)
When you are on the Phone Screen there's no button, menu option to bring up your Contacts List! Did I miss it?
When scrolling through the Call History, the entries overlap making it unreadable until you scroll up.
This may be because it is a phone and not a PC, as I had this issue on my Tilt, but this phone seems to be really slow sometimes. The main nuisance is when you slide the keyboard out, sometimes it takes forever for the screen orientation to change. Lots of lag starting apps. But hey, how much processor power can you get in a phone anyway? Got to live with it until they make better/faster chips. But the lag when sliding the keyboard out is killing me.

The newer ROMs should be some speed increases since they're built on the newer base.
I would try NATF 4.4 or the new 4.5 if you like his ROMs. 4.4 was very quick for me when I used it.
How many contacts do you have? I have about 100 and I've never had a problem.
My main question is where the heck is the button or menu option on the phone screen to bring up the contact list? I must be missing something as that is probably the most useful thing you would want to do on the phone screen.
I was reading posts on 4.5 and it appears to have a few significant bugs. I think I may wait for 4.6, or if 4.4 has less bugs maybe go with that?
I am using the updated official ROM for my AT&T Fuze. I am using this ROM in its "unbloated" state, using just the WinMo interface and no TF3D installed. I am pretty sure that I don't remember this issue being present in the old stock ROM.
Basically what is happening is that when I am using a program in full screen (such as PIE, Opera, or Java apps) and the orientation of the screen changes, either by sliding the keyboard out or by rotating the phone, the start menu and title bar will pop up and cover part of the screen's real-estate. It will not go away until the program is minimized via the Home button and then switched back to. And, of course, the problem just comes back the next time orientation changes...
Are any of you out there aware of a fix for this issue? I am surprised that I haven't seen anyone else mention it, am I the only person with this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Nobody else has this issue?
I have the same problem, and it drives me nuts. Sorry, I have not found a fix yet.
+1, no solution either. Pressing the volume button which brings up the volume control also helps but is no solution.
bump.
No one has any insight about this annoying issue? I have tweaked all kinds of registry settings trying to stumble upon something that might fix it but I've had no luck.
I have the same issue, very annoying. I thought it might be use of Batti, but it this happening even with no add-ins??
Yeah, this happens with no add-ins. I am running vanilla winmo with no TF3D.
Another easy way to get it to disappear is to click on the start menu to open it, then click on it again to close it. The title bar will disappear again, until the phone orientation changes again.
I can't imagine why there hasn't been more interest in this thread. Seems like an issue somehow related to the ROM update that a lot of people should be having problems with. But I'm not knowlegeable about the inner workings of ROMs to figure out what is causing the problem and come up with a fix..
I don't really want to switch to a third party rom, because I don't care for all the touch flo bells and whistles. I just want a basic, fast interface which is what I get from the stock ROM just from bypassing the bloat installs and using the WinMo interface. But with the taskbar constantly popping up ruining my fullscreen programs like youtube, scummvm, opera, any java app, etc... I might have to make a switch just out of frustration.
Hi,
I am sort of new to this forum and I hope I am posting this in the right place. Apologies if there is a thread about this elsewhere but I have looked online and couldn't find a thread about this issue. It is hard for me to describe in words about the issue I am facing but I will try and be as descriptive as possible
For quite sometime now I find that my nexus 5 keyboard has become extremely glitchy and choppy. I find that the keyboard isn't as smooth as it was when I first got my device. There seems to be a bit of a lag between the time I press the key to the when the characters actually appear. It is very apparent when I am typing sentences in one flow. This is causing too many typos and is extremely annoying. I could, at one time, comfortably type long text messages with hardly any typos. The typos that I get can be considered almost impossible to generate unless you are willingly typing random characters
I am on android 4.4.4 and this problem has existed for the past couple of months. I don't have any custom firmware installed. My frequently used messaging apps are Viber, WhatsApp and Google hangouts. But this issue seems to be there even when I am typing something in the browser
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Have you tried a different keyboard? Like SwiftKey

Hi MasterElaichi and welcome to the forums.
The keyboard that your using for your messaging apps is the same as the one in your browser also... Im pretty sure that it's the Google keyboard by default.
I actually use Android Keyboard (AOSP) instead of the standard Google Keyboard and can switch between the two if I want the the system settings menu.
Couple things you could try-
To start you can go to "System Settings/Language and Input" then scroll down to keyboard and input methods. Click on the settings menu to the right of the Google keyboard or what ever keyboard you have selected. and go through you settings and make sure everything is set to your preference (just by chance somehow the settings have change) and check your auto correction aggressiveness, I have mine set to Modest.
Other than that you can try and and go to "System Settings/Apps/All" then select Google keyboard and clear the Data and Cache. This will wipe you personal dictionary if you have one though.
If the following doesn't work and the Google keyboard keeps acting up, you might want to try an different keyboard all together. Like Android Keyboard (AOSP) or Swiftkwey or Kii keyboard... Just some popular one to recommend.
Hi,
Thanks for all your responses. I have tried swiftkey in the past but I find it weird. For some reason I prefer a standard keyboard
My google keyboard settings are set to the default. I have turned off vibrations and the auto correct is set at modest. I have tried clearing the cache numerous times in the past but that doesn't work either
If I were to type this message using my Nexus 5, it would be riddled with typos and spaceless words. I am talking about typos that are impossible to get when you are in the flow and just typing away. For example, when I want to type "m', the letter "m" pops up, but the character that appears in the text area is either "." or the previous character would have disappeared. Similar thing with space bars. Sometimes pressing a space bar will just create a space but the characters may not appear
I have tried using my phone in safe mode but it helps only a little bit. I did contact the google support centre. As expected, they are asking me to do a factory reset and if that doesn't work they say they will rma my phone
Hi,
I uninstalled apps like Viber and Whatsapp thinking they could be the cause. I have also been running my device on safe mode. The problem still persists
I found this thread online. My problem is quite similar this one here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274818
The only difference is that the OP here had an issue with an HTC. The problem appears to be keys that are close together are getting pressed. And I am certain my finger's aren't that fat and stubby that multiple keys get pressed
I don't want to factory reset my phone without exhausting all my options to fix this problem. Any input will be helpful
Thank you
So I have decided to do a hard reset on my phone hoping that would resolve my keyboard issue. I have managed to backup my photos and stuff to google doc. i wanted to back up my whatsapp data onto my laptop but for some reason my laptop (vista) isn't detecting my phone
I have reinstalled whatsapp in the past after removing and I didn't lose my whatsapp data. Do you think a hard reset will make my whatsapp data irretrievable? I am asking because there is an option in whatsapp, when you install it, that asks if you want to back up conversations

if you hard reset and wipe the internal memory then your whatsapp back up will be deleted.
Try and uninstall any keyboard updates you may have done.
I would say the same thing and it would be the first thing I would try, uninstall the updates and data in settings/apps. The google keyboard works fine on my N5 and N7.
I performed a wipe cache partition through recovery mode. There seems to be some improvement but it is too soon to tell
I recently installed, a i type keyboard, free version, a friend of mine recommended it. i relly like it, only i have noticed one problem. while not a big problem, its very irritating: the keyboard takes 1-2 seconds to come up after i touch a text field. its system wide, not just in the messaging app, its in the browsers (all of them!) the sms app, memos, whatsapp, everywhere. i googled the problem, i found the option to force gpu rendering, so i did that, it solved the issue, but after a day or so it came back, and now its slow again. so i went into input methods and switched back to perfect keyboard, which i had been using before, and it loads instantaneously, no lag at all. same with stock samsung keyboard, no lag at all.
only when using a i type is there a lag.
any suggestions on how to remove the lag? thanks in advance.
RAM clearance helps i think
Ive also faced this problem...clearing the RAM usage of unwanted apps helped me a bit....sometimes rebooting too helped me.....
But real solution is we have to tweaking the ROMs i believe....
hope so it helped me...If helpful pls press thanks button
EDIT: lag is getting longer, now 3-5 seconds each time...
