Is anyone else having issues with swiftkey on the z3? I imagine the z3 isnt at fault and its a problem with the app but in saying that, I have had swiftkey for over two years and it worked flawlessly. Ever since i started using it on the z3 iam getting bad lag and nothing but problems with it to the point its not useable! To be fair the stock keyboard isnt bad but iam used to swiftkey and love it so just curious if anyone else has this problem? Wether or not its an issue with the z3 or swiftkey ?

Swiftkey works ok on mine, but lagged badly on my HTC One M8. This is definitely an app problem. Interestingly, it was lagging on iphone as well.

But if its a problem with the app then why are you experiencing no issues? lol Seems strange, especially as it worked so flawlessly for me for two years almost on 2 samsung devices and a htc one
I just realised i enabled emoji predictions recently! Wonder if this is causing it! I shall turn it off and find out i guess Fingers crossed ha
I'm having 'issues' with SwiftKey as well, for me I seem to get random intervals where I get double or tripled up sounds from key presses, in addition to extra vibrations which absolutely pisses me off no end. I had this issue with my M8 as well, one of the reasons why I bailed on it early. I'm assuming that it only seems to happen to phones with stereo speakers? As is the case with the Z3 and the M8.
But yes, SwiftKey doesn't seem quite as fluid as it was on my Nexus 5.

For me,It was fine all along, Flawless in fact! Lately however when i type it will randomly just start lagging really bad and sometimes freeze. Within 4/5 seconds its fine again and works fine for another minute or two before it happens again! I never had emoji predictions enabled before though and i did on the z3 so i have disabled them now.Hopefully it helps! I cant say yet cause i have been away from the phone since disabling them!!
For anyone that may be wondering btw! Swiftkey seems fine again since disabling emoji predictions Havent had any lag or freeze issues since so happy days
Yep! I have this too. I rely on SwiftKey as I speak more than one language and the native keyboard Fovant allow for two dictionaries. I hope it gets sorted.

I have had random lag issues lately on my previous phone (xperia Z) , I don't remember whether it happened as a result of some firmware update. But it was severe, it became unusable.
However, since I started using the app on the new Z3 (a week ago) it works flawlessly, even with the emoji activated.
I'm using SwiftKey beta and is working completely fine!

Iam still getting a little lag from time to time but not as bad as it was when i had emoji predictions on! Its at least useable now but frustrating still given that is was flawless on all my previous phones
I'm using SwiftKey as my main keyboard... It's working very well... No issue here.
Wonder why its only affecting some people so . . . . . . .
Using SwiftKey as well and no lag at all. Emoji is enabled.

no issues here either
Downloaded Beta 5.2 and all my problems have gone away
Alot of people saying the beta version works fine .I have the paid version and like i said, flawless for the past 2 years but lately its been laggy every few seconds when typing! A real annoyance but hopefully its an easy fix and theres an update soon :
Its happening on my G2 as well occasionally while typing nothing shows and then when I zoom out suddenly all the missed words show up. I'm sure the issue must be from SwiftKey.

I stand corrected on my previous comment. The beta version is faster no doubt, but the odd double sound/weird vibration issue is present still... just not as much.

My wife's z3 compact with SwiftKey is very laggy.
It is ok when I clear all the user data cache etc... but the whole point of SwiftKey is for it to predict according to your uses of the keyboard, so clearing the Cache is not a solution.
It seems SwiftKey are not doing anything (quickly) about this memory bug.

Hey all,
I'm using swiftkey on my galaxy s6 and sometimes when I press a textbox in an app like whatsapp or hangouts it takes a while before the keyboard pops up. Also, sometimes it has to reload the dictionary after the keyboard opens (this takes just around a second). Are there more people with this problem? I didn't had this on my Xperia Z1. Is this problem RAM related? Because of the aggressive app killing on the s6.
I'd like to hear from you guys!'

When I'm opening the keyboard it sometimes says "loading predictions". That's what I mean with "reload the dictionary".

What firmware version are you on? Is it the newest? Because I believe the issue is with the newest Samsung firmware. It has nothing to do with the hardware
as much as this phone lags I think this is an issue with the app. It did the same on my m8 and that phone never lagged with any other app. It was the reason I stopped using Swiftkey and I now prefer Google over it as the swipe text is way better on that

I also switched from Swiftkey to Google because of performance. That was on m7 and I tried again on S6E and, once again, preferred Google Keyboard due to performance. A shame though as Swiftkey used to be so good. Having said all that, perhaps it wouldn't suck so bad if this phone had better ram management.
I have the same issues with SwiftKey. I am running on latest Samsung 5.1.1 firmware. Sometimes everything seems to be fine and sometimes it takes years to pop up. I have no clue why. Already tried to reinstall, clear the app cache, no effect.

Yes I'm on the latest firmware (BOGB). Ram management actually seems a little better then before. But SwiftKey isn't working as it should.

I'm on the latest Dutch firmware (BOGB). That one should be latest.
Can anyone confirm that the same problems occur with the latest beta version of SwiftKey?
I confirm that the bug has appeared with latest firmware. Yes, the new firmware has much better multitasking and ram management but this bug with swiftkey is so annoying.
I've got the same issue since a few days. I have an S6 with stock firmware running (5.1.1) and SwiftKey 5.3.4.67
Any workaround available already?
Same problem here... Let's hope for a quick update from Samsung or SwiftKey...

I am really feeling like bought ****tiest phone. Sucks bad. My nexus 5 Galaxy s3 was better. Always face issue of keyboard. Feels little went backwards
Hey Guys, you're not alone and Swiftkey is notified about the issue but they're not sure if they can solve this problem. Take a look in the forum here: https://vip.swiftkey.com/index.php?/topic/12733-slow-showing-keyboard-on-s6-bug-reported/
But I think the biggest chance of getting this fixed is to inform Samsung about this problem and wait for a fix (if possible). Does anyone know if they are also already informed?
I have the same problem I live. I'm going crazy.. I sent it to the service. Load the software and they sent it back. The problem still continues.
Do you have any news friends?
No news.. I updated the firmware to latest version. Still same problem!

Hey guys, I have gotten my Flex 2 a few days ago, I'm really enjoying it and like it. However, I have a problem that whenever i turn on a game, the display seems kinda unresponsive and I have to put a great force on it and it finally gets the touch. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's quite annoying.
i noticed this on the H955 also . had a H950 before and that one was a lot better

It's really weird. But it's not like the display didn't work. It's only the game windows. Because when you take down the notification bar, it works flawlessly even with the slightest touch. Dang, i hope there's a solution for this.
what version do u have ?
I have the H955, running latest version of software.. It seems rather software fault than hardware though.
Alright, so I managed to fix the problem by disabling the Touch zoom option in the Accesibility tab seems like it had a problem with games. Also double-tap to like feature in Instagram app didn't work, so I tried it out.
thanks for the solution.

Yeah, no problem. It was biting me for the past couple of days, and it was that easy to fix... Well It's not a bad feature, it just doesn't work as it was intended to, I suppose.
Am I the only one that is experiencing very noticeable lag while typing on the keyboard? Tried even with Swiftkey and google keyboard, the lag persist.
The phone is brand new and I have an empty sd card inside, but even without it lag.. Even the vibration feedback lag.

Mine has been fine and I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue.
Maybe a faulty unit?
I read an article that it's because the phones nowdays have cpu scaling so they aren't eating up all the battery. When you're not using your phone, the cpu kinda hibernates, but if you start typing, it speeds up, then slows down when you pause, then speeds up again. And it takes a tiny bit for it to fully speed up, so the lag comes from the cpu scaling.

I don't think this is the cause, I have lag input always, even if I write for 10 minutes ..
No lag at all on my exynos unit, but I use the Google Keyboard

I haven't had any issue with keyboard lag on my s7. I am using SwiftKey. The stock keyboard is a joke. I hated it with the s6 and automatically switched when I powered on my s7.

As I already said, I have the same problems with the swiftkey, so it isn't a problem of the stock keyboard.. I've tried the S7 edge of my friend and it doesn't have this problem..
I have the same problem with Swiftkey on my galaxy s7 edge. Have compared it to my Xperia Z2 and it definitely lags
Edit: Also lags on Google keyboard and stock.
The swipe trail on Google Keyboard is laggy too. This sucks.
Samsung fix it!!

I was having a lag issue with my keyboard too not long after I got my S7. Not sure what caused it, but doing a factory reset fixed it. Have you tried that?
I haven't tried that, would rather avoid a factory reset. Google keyboard seems much better after I turned off swipe trail.

Just thought i would make a threat to address the google maps being laggy / unresponsive.
It can usually be fixed by changing the display to HD+ mode if this was bugging anyone like it was myself.
i actually do have that problem- in hd+ mode :/

Thanks, that did help but not ideal. We can't not enjoy the FD+ just because it will slow down Google Maps. Come on Google, sort it out!!
I guess Google blames it on Huawei, and Huawei blames it on Google. The fact remains that these problems were also reported on the Mate 10, 6 months ago and no progress has been made.
Don't have this issue. CLT-L09 variant.
Came here from the P20 forum. I have the same problem on my device.
CLT-L09 here, used maps yesterday with no problems or lag
Good to see it's not just me.
It's laggy as hell for me. Far slower than it was on my LG G4 that I just moved from. So slow and jumpy!
Same issue here, hopefully either Huawei or Google will fix the issue over next week or so. (I can use the workaround till then but it is mildly annoying)
Strange how some people have this issue and others not. Maybe it's region dependent? I have a UK P20 Pro (Three network - dual sim) and I have been using it for navigation for a few days now with no issues. It is pretty much running the same as it did on my Galaxy S8+.
Not noticed lag anywhere so far! Scrolling is better than it was on any of my previous Samsung devices.
My only issue is the stock icons and launcher. It looks too outdated. I'll stick Nova on it soon when I have the time to set it all up.

I have the same phone (P20 Pro Dual SIM from Three), though as per one of the previous comments, mine is a CLT-L29 as opposed to CLT-L09. Could that be the reason?

What exactly is the issue? Is it terrible lag? I want to understand how bad the situation is and when it happens to see if I can reproduce it.
I have the same model as you, so I find it very strange. Are you using a third party launcher or have you done anything else to your device since you set it up?

You can see the glitch here.
I find this strange also as I have never seen it. In fact maps has been super fast for me. I am dual SIM from three UK. CLT-L29 model
It is strange. I have tried to uninstall updates and install it again and they didn't seem to work.
The slowness is in the lag when you try to move the map or even when clicking around or when searching.
With FD+ switched off, it seems to work absolutely fine. Just like it did on my Nexus 6P
Hopefully, it will be fixed soon, so for now I am just going to live with HD+ setting
It's poor if it's been a known issue for 6 months. I'm on EE in the UK (see attached) and I feel cheated if I have to change the screen resolution for a mainstream, hugely popular app to work as it should.
It's made me nearly as unhappy as when I discovered that only one of my P20 Pro's speakers were working.
That's not normal, right?! ?
What software build are you guys on? I am on 8.1.0.103 and I have the maps issue. I saw that an online reviewer at android authority was using software 8.1.0.106 and said they were on "beta" software... lol. Am I on alpha then?
Can anyone confirm if maps works on 8.1.0.106?

Looks like maybe the dual sim works (maybe the firmware version)
I'm on 103 on L 09 (UK single sim) and it took me ages to work out why maps wasn't working.
Hmm, this is even weirder! I am on dual SIM and my firmware version is only 8.1.0.102, which doesn't match with anyone of the versions you are talking above.
I miss my stock android on Nexus already :'(
So I have this weird scrolling issue, like the one on this video:
Can someone please test if their phone does the same? I will replace the phone if this turns out to be a hardware fault. Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same issue on my OP9. But if I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known there was such a problem. Like in your video, problem exists only in stock launcher.

Alright, thank you! Yes it is a minor issue, but still quite annoying (at least for me and my way of using the device). Hopefully they will fix as it soon, as it seems to be happening only on the base non-pro 9 model.

Thanks for all the info so far! Just one more thing, could you please test it again, but keep your finger still for at least a second before flicking.
I am really sorry to bother you with this, but I am going to replace the phone, if yours turns out to be ok. I'm just paranoid that you might have missed it because it's so subtle.
In Nova the app drawer is side to side, but no issue there and in trying up and down in couple apps no issue . Even tested keyboard and virtually instant response using exact same keys from video. P0qla no delay at all

Alright, something is wrong with mine then... Or maybe the T-mobile version of the phone doesn't have this bug, since it uses a slightly different software.
Yeah could be. Maybe t-mobile turned down the touch rejection.
