So, I got an Honor 8 recently and I've noticed a bit of lag on 3rd party keyboards, Fleksy in particular. When I try to use the swipe to space or delete gestures in Fleksy the 8 doesn't register it and just types letters instead pretty often. It was bad enough that I had to give up on using it. Even upon switching to GBoard I feel like I noticed some lag when typing quickly. It went away after disabling vibrate and pop up on keypress.
It just seems strange. I've used Fleksy for years on multiple phones and never had this problem. In-between my OnePlus X and Honor 8 I used it on an $80 Samsung phone and it worked flawlessly. Is this a problem anybody else has had with the Honor 8?

Could you try SwiftKey or swype and see if the problem persist?

No, I'm not really getting any noticable lag on either of them. I'm not entirely sure if lag is the problem or just something with the Fleksy gestures and the Honor 8 but I haven't seen anybody else with the phone say anything about it.

Hm... I just tried Fleksy, and I'm having some LAG with it as well. I have noticed that if I change Fleksy language to English, there's no LAG at all, but when I change it to my language (hungarian), which is in "beta" there is LAG.
Do you use it on another language and not English?

It doesn't do "Swype" like tracing a complete pattern to type. It just has gestures like swipe left to delete the last word, swipe right to space, swipe right twice to punctuate then swipe up or down to change punctuation and swiping up/down to change the last word you typed. Once you get used to the gestures they're just really useful and can make typing a little quicker.

I don't think lag is the right term. It's not really lag just not properly registering the swipe gestures the way it's supposed to.

Try adjusting the swipe length in keyboard settings. No lags for me so far.
Do we have such option in stock rom?

i know what you mean....but i am afraid that the phone becomes even more stuttery and laggy in the future....
is there a chance that the stutter in the app drawer is because of the moving wallpaper?

Perfectly smooth on anything but Facebook really.

Oneplus 6 got rid of the swipe down for notifications gesture. Is there any way we can get it back? Maybe like the flashable zip the 5t had in omnirom? This may seem like such a small thing but it's huge for me. With this gesture I dont have to reach up to get my notifications down and thats a lot less of a chance for having the phone drop and break on me. Especially because it's all glass now.

Well, the phone hasn't practically even released at this time, so it will take a bit of time to know.
I think the reason why there are no fingerprint gestures is because of the reduction in the size of the fingerprint sensor.

Quite upset about the removal of this feature as well. It was really useful. I'll be looking out for it / monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a solution. Wish OnePlus would simply add it back.

I followed this guide and it seems to be the only app that works with my OP6
android.gadgethacks.com/how...e-notification-gesture-other-devices-0174514/
just add https before it as i can't post links yet
would be amazing to get swipe gestures, especially while reading ebooks or articles, its so convenient scrolling and reading with one hand and a coffee in the other

Anyone notices that Gboard is actually responding pretty slowly when you type? I had iphone as well and the response is not on par, much much slower on Oneplus. I cannot seem to type properly because it will hit or miss so often where on iphone it regs everytime. I know cannot compare, and I actually been using oneplus since Oneplus 3, nevertheless performance wise on this beastly device is simply unacceptable to me.
You have any other alternatives?
Same Happens to me. Even an other keyboard doesnt Help. But what helps us to deactivate haptic feedback
Ghosts is fine, no lag at all
I hate this phone for typing but that's it, I'd rather have occasional rage at the keyboard (I've tried 3 different apps) and love everything else about the phone than have tons of glaring issues like every other phone I've had personally.

Edit: Resolved - For over 10 years, I have been using the BACK button to close activities. All of them. When I want to return to the launcher, I just press BACK from withing the given app until I get 'back' to the launcher. Why wouldn't I do this? It's how you close an app. Well, I hit the HOME button instead of using BACK to exit the app gracefully like I do for all other apps I run.. and.. AOE works. I don't get it. I'm not much of an Android developer, and I hate everything Google has done to Android in the last 5 years, but what gives here? I assume (and I can see) that the backgroud service still runs after the activity closes, so why would I want to leave the activity open and return to the launcher without gracefully closing the current activity? Anyway.. if I leave the activity open, it seems to work as expected, but not if I close the activity. Go figure.

I am using Resurrection Remix 8.6.7 on OnePlus 7 Pro. I've tried Plus Beat, True Edge, and now Always On Edge. I can't get any of them to work. Plus Beat came the closest by repeatedly flashing the lock screen, but I really want to use AOE and I would like to see the edge 'horizon' lights. I've given AOE every permission and accessibility service I know how to, and it still does not work.
Is it possible to use AOE on One Plus 7 Pro with Resurrection Remix 8.6.7 (Android Q10 based, and goes on top of OOS 10.3.8)?
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.
