I've been having some problems with typing fast on keyboards with this phone, most noticeably with the SwiftKey line.
If I get to typing too fast, it thinks I'm dragging my finger from one key to the next, leaving me with short words or completely deleted words. With any keyboard, typing fast can make the keyboard disappear until I touch the input area.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I've noticed the same thing with the SwiftKey X keyboard.
Have you gone through the settings? In the advanced settings area there is a Typing style for rapid or precise. It sounds like you need the Rapid setting selected. This one works very well for me.
It's set on rapid, but still has this problem. My wife's g2x doesn't have as much of a problem with typing fast as mine does.
I've also increased the swipe distance to erase and minimize the keyboard to 50%, which has helped stop the deletion of words, but it still has problems registering button presses that are too close together timewise.

Just wondering if anyone else is suffering from this.
When you use to Youtube app and search using the field up at the top, nothing generally goes wrong. You can type in the search field without problems
But, when im watching a video (not full screen), and i try to use the search field, the field will NOT let me type more than one word. When i press "spacebar" to space out for the 2nd word, what ends up happening is that i start tabbing thru the videos on the right hand column.
VERY ANNOYING.
Happened on 3.0 and still happens on 3.1
does this happen to u?
good find, its happening to me too, but it only occurs when I'm docked with the keyboard. When I'm using onscree keyboard, its fine

I had the same last week and again last night, both times while using the dock keyboard.
I just got the 3.1 upgrade this morning, I'll see if it's still an issue when I get home tonight.
Yepp, been having that problem too. Still an issue in 3.1 and only with the docking keyboard.
But my the thing that annoys me the most is this youtube widget bug (if it is one):

Are you experiencing the same problem too?
I haven'thad that happen to me, but Ihave had it bring up my keyboard when I exit a fullscreen video

Delete Quirk:
To use the condescending phrase my GF throws at me (and then claims she's not being condescending, Women!) I write books via text. At least it seems that way because I'll write out my thoughts in beautifully verbose English then hack them down to 160 characters if possible. This utilizes the delete/backspace key quite a lot and every now and then I get this...
Holding phone PSP style (index fingers curled around lower half underneath display, phone cradled between index finger and thumbs, thumbs free for furious typing)
-Use thumb to rapidly tap Del
--Phone goes to top of conversation tree, but I can still type in message box (just can't see it cause i'm now scrolled to top of this contacts message history)
and/or
--Phone goes into message deletion mode, I can't type and its asking me to select messages for deletion.
It doesn't seem to happen all the time, I think its happened when i've held down delete a couple times but usually when i'm quickly correcting an error or removing a few short words. I don't expect a fix, just wondering if I'm a lucky winner of some hardware issue or just ignorant of shortcuts.

I'm assuming this is with the hardware keyboard? I've never had that happen if so... i have forgotten i've left function on and hit delete before though. That's always frustrating

Yeah with the lb open, and we have all been there before, deleting whole lines of text

Oh the anger I've gone through because I deleted everything when I didn't want to. I've wanted to break the keyboard off many times

Tell me about it. I used to have a habit of double clicking the FN key to type out numbers or whatever, then mistype and hit the del key forgetting i have FN-Lock on ... just gotta suck it up and retype lol.
And you said with the "lb open"? As in the library??? If so, that might be why i havent had that problem. I don't use predictive text with the hardware keyboard...
fn+delete = delete all... thats kind of handy.
I think I might be pressing delete+enter when reaching for the delete key. Needs more testing.
*edit* nope, least not when I try to do it, lol

Ive been using GO keyboard on and off for a while now and love it, only problem I have is that I cant see my emojis as Im typing them.
I have go sms with emoji plug in as well as the plug on for go keyboard but they just leave a blank space when i put one in. However they do show up in the conversation when I send.
Any advice anyone can give would be appreciated!
Are you using its latest version?
Yeah, can't understand it. Even when I use android keyboard on my s2 I can see the emojis while typing but not with go keyboard

you may disable AUTOSPACE option in the settings. That actually was designed for easier typing
Almost every time I hit the home button from within an app and it goes to my home screen. It has to completely redraw the touchwiz interface. I'm running 100% stock firmware.
I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this problem. I find it very annoying and i feel that since this phone has 2GB of ram it shouldn't be having a problem keeping the home screen loaded while in another app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm confused on what exactly your asking. If course if you hit the home button it's going to go to your home screen. If you're talking about your recent apps, hold the home button then you have plenty of apps to choose from.

Op. For s voice, do you have it set to activate with a double tap of the home key? If you do then that is y get the redraw. S voice is waiting for a second tap to see if it need to activate or just go home. Turn that feature off and it will be snappier
Edit. OK. I see what u mean. Do u have forced 2d hardware acceleration enabled in the development setting?

Yes I do, i thought that may be the culprit but i wanted to see input from elsewhere. Should I disable that?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yes. At the least the 2d thing. The home key to go back to the home screen is a personal preference. I use s voice alot so I like to be able to access it right away

I know what he is talking about. It is the amount of time it takes to get to the home screen when you are in a app. It does take a sec to long to get to the home screen.

I know exactly what you're talking about OP, I have the same issue for a while now, and coincidentally I did some research on this just yesterday and found a couple solutions you might be interested in trying:
Solution #1
Solution #2
Solution #3
Solution #4
I skimmed through the solutions and i didn't see the one i believed i helped a friend with. He has the same issue and he had power saving turned on. Once he disabled it, i want to say it was resolved along with other issues. Try this and maybe activate it again and try running one off at a time to see what one it is. Its been a few weeks at least since i talked with the person. Not sure if you have it on or off.
If none of these other solutions work...are you really tied to using the touchwiz launcher? I know launchers like nova and apex give you the option to force the launcher to remain in memory to prevent excessive redraws.
Personally, changing the double tap S memo option made everything a little faster for me.
Hey all....have a weird issue here. I use GoSms as my messaging app. I have added it as a shortcut to the lock screen. When I have a new text come in and I get into the app from my lock screen, the keyboard doesn't want to work. It recognizes I'm typing (buttons press, popups show up) but nothing shows up in the entry field. I need to completely back out of the conversation and get back in again. Then it works fine. It does this regardless of what keyboard I use. The stock messaging app works fine and I don't have this issue. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Actually was a weird bug that I had before months ago, can't really tell you what it was as it was fixed after flashing a different rom.
