Hey folks,
I've been using SwiftKey as long as I remember on my old phones.
I expected the s6 to run very smoothly with it but the opposite is true for me.
Swipe to delete words barely works and typing is laggy and sluggish most of the time.
Predictions are bad and I haven't found a way to make it work better.
Anyone using SwiftKey as well? How is it running for you?
Are there other keyboards that you can recommend?
Thanks everyone.

Its running bad for me too... I go to type words n there not there n its just ridiculous..
Works perfectly fine for me.
Is that happening for you within a specific app? Ie. Chrome?
Swiftkey is quick and smooth on my S6.
Works perfectly fine for me.
Works perfectly fine for me too.

Try deleting a word with the swipe across motion. Does it work multiple times? I've been having real problems with that function

There is definitely a small lag in it.
Also not working properly here!
Also I have problems too on the S6 edge. Now I went back to the stock one till they fixed it.
Often when I swipe back it doesn't react at all..

Running SwiftKey on my S6 Edge.
So far zero problems!

Same with me - swipe back to delete words almost unusable
Painful most of the time...
Wrong predictions, backspace does not work, jumps to the beginning of the sentence while typing...
thats a shame..
Hope they fix it. I thought it was only Me....

Works great except for swipe back to delete.
Works fine for me. I've never use flow or voice so I've disable them. No problem with SwiftKey. Also use it on all my phones.

i've found that Swiftkey isn't all that swift when you swipe words and actions. try swiping a word like "ok" or "at" and it almost always gives you a different word. it just can't handle short words well at all. Swype on the other hand has no problems with this. but on the S6, swype is performing poorly for some reason. getting a lot of incorrectly swiped words while i've never had any issues on previous 3 phones.
i'm a swipe to type kinda guy ever since Swype first came out and if you're like me i'd take Swype over Swiftkey any day. i tried pretty much every keyboard out there that uses swiping and Swype is still the best. tap to type is atrocious though, so stay away if you're that kind of person.
SwiftKey works wonderful for me
Yes... I am swiping it with swift keyboard...
No issues at all

I'm loving CM7 so far and the only thing I've noticed is that the the touchscreen is a little off. I have tried 3 keyboards and my accuracy is way off compared to a froyo rom. Buttons on the bottom like space sometimes don't register in portrait orientation. Anyone else notice this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
Same happens to me. I noticed it because it makes me so mad. Sometimes I miss the key. I don't remember the stock keyboard but I feel like the one on cm7 doesn't reach all the way down to the bottom

I do have a question since I cannot post in the development forums, yet.
Does anyone have issues with the wallpaper randomly reverting back to the stock ICS wallpaper?
I can't seem to keep my wallpaper on my home screen for very long.

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

I use Swiftkey X, but it will do it with the stock keyboard as well. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the keyboards, since they'll load up predictions for whichever button I press, but it just won't actually type in the field.

Ooo I think I know what you men because I too have had these little annoyances before.... what I did when it started was kill EVERYTHING LOL yes literally kill all of the things... I even killed the keyboard/sms process since that's where it happened most at. After doing that my issue was usually fixed. Also found that I just type too fast sometimes.... it honestly can b a number of things actually, let me know how this works.

Does anyone know how to change system fonts for this ROM?
Before flashing this ROM i wanted to know how the battery life is on this?
Compared to other GB ROMs.

Sucks to hear, i'll hold off for now
I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.
OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

Ive noticed recently that my browser and youtube apps seem to minimize and then open again. I dont see the homescreen, the app kinda shrinks like it was closed, and then expands from the top. Im really not sure what has caused this. This only started happening recently and i have no idea what could be causing it. The only thing ive installed recently was the humble bundle games.
When it reopens, it remembers what i was typing in the youtube comment, but the video is stopped and i usually need to rewatch the ad before i can skip back to the video position. Really annoying on the bigger videos.
Other problems im having is i get random lines flicker across the screen, and almost looks like its an 'extra' line that shifts the image up by one pixel to make room for it.
And then i noticed on the asus keyboard there is a spot on the spacebar that doesnt work. It makes the typing sound when clicked, but no space character is typed. Its on the far right side of the spacebar. It was extremely frustrating until i discovered why half the things i typed had no space even though i was SURE i hit the spacebar.
I'm having the same issue, I posted a thread about it over in the Q&A section, but still haven't heard of any workarounds... but i will at the least confirm i have the same issues

I can also confirm I am having the same issues, all of them.
Especially prevalent is the apps minimizing then opening themselves up again. I've been trying to figure out if an app is doing it but I don't think this is the case. I have also installed Humble Bundle apps though, it could potentially be that.
The keyboard's spacebar seems to just be bad hardware design. I miss a lot of spaces as well and have slowly migrated my thumb to the center of the spacebar because of it.

It was happening to me with the old firmware before i installed .18 even. I held off on updating until yesterday. Its got to be an app...
I think I fixed this issue by enabling GPU rendering in developer settings... Now the only issue is the random black line flickering which seems to be a common issue for everyone on Android 4.1.1
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
The apps re-opening issue has vanished for me, likely due to an app update im guessing. I didnt change anything except update some apps, though im not sure which one it could have been.
I still have the lines flickering, and the right end of the space bar on the virtual keyboard still doesnt work. Etc. Though, these problems seem more common so im guessing/hoping they will get fixed.
Yea I haven't seen it either.

Is it me or is typing on this device a pain?
Its like I have to type at the devices pace, as in, it cant keep up and letters get skipped or swipe activates.
I havent experienced this on any other device. Any help?
Im using the stock google keyboard.
What keyboard app are you using? I'm using SwiftKey and am not experiencing any problems with double hand typing, although flowing thru SwiftKey can have a lot of errors or sometimes I accidently have my hand on the enter button.

Try art and then if that doesn't work. Try another keyboard app like SwiftKey, it's free now. So you don't lose anything by trying either

Art helped a little bit but still bad, swiftkey feels better.
Thanks though
Its just you lol
Try using your fingers to type
I have also problems, in portrait mode and with the standard keyboard I can' t type a "b" . Its always the letter nearby... I use now smart t9 keyboard to avoid this problem. I already reseted the device,unchecked the gestures and contacted the support,but still the same !
Im afraid thats it hardware related ?

I have the same problems. Try using a touchscreen test app and it'll be even more clear of the inaccuracies. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or kernel issue

This isn't just you. There are plenty of people having this problem. Please, create a JIRA account here and "Vote" on the issue by using the links on the right (and also comment if you can). The higher the exposure, the more seriously they'll take this problem.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
As I said in the other thread, we're all very nervously waiting to find out if this is a hardware issue or a software one. I literally cannot reliably type on this thing unless I slow right the heck down and type like a snail.
Hey guys, so I got the note 10 plus, I moved over from IPhone and so far am loving the phone. However there are 2 issues I can't seem to resolve.
1. Samsung keyboard doesn't Auto correct all the time. It works sometimes but not always. Might be I'm typing too fast for the Auto correct to work. So I've installed gboard and it works so much better.
2. I don't get Facebook notifications when the screen is off. When I'm using the phone yes a notification pops up, but while I'm not using it and screen is off no notification is pushed. I then open Facebook and I see there is X amount of notification.
Anyone else seem to have this issue?
Thanks
1. for me, i find samsung keyboard to be better in terms of guessing the word while i swipe casually and quickly. it's lacking japanese input though
2. can u check the power saving options? whether it is sleeping etc

Hi Jemfalor,
The keyboard I couldn't get to work right. But with Facebook I think I fixed it. I spent 20-30 mins testing the FB notification with my and my wife's S10 and it seems to be same issue. However I went into the battery optimised screen and turn off Facebook option and it seems to have fixed it. Email Instagram were switched off. After I did this I tested it again and it worked. While screen was off I was still getting notifications.
Best keyboard for the phone is Google keyboard..switch over to that

Just to echo above users re SwiftKey.
I've been using SwiftKey for many years now.
What I still find astonishing, is how well SwiftKey predicts the words I'm about to type in my messages/emails.
I've counted sometimes...... its 5,6,7,8 words in a row.!
On top of that, i mix 2 x languages, whilst typing
and it still predicts correctly.!
I have plenty of keyboard options installed
Google, Samsung, Minuum etc see screenshot below.
For SwiftKey predictions whilst "mixing my languages predictions" is for me, just amazing.
