Hi Guys,
I did some research here and on google but couldn't find any good results.
I really have a serious lag in my keyboard, more likely at the repeating characters like, hello or whoohoo ... wil be like helo whoho, ...
Is there a fix or something else. When typing emails this result in a lot of frustation. I don't know how you guys think or experience this problem!
Thnx for you comments.
it's been brought up before but might be hard to search on...
Others have reported that turning off Word Completion and Auto Correct have helped.
Settings --> Input ... Word Completion tab
Give that a shot.
I have the same problem. I've turned off input completion under settings -> input -> word completion and in programs -> xT9 Settings. But when I type the letter A, Q, O, and L it tries to auto complete. Also Z is displayed as X. I installed the AT&T Keyboard fix from TaurusBullba and nothing changed. I am using Dutty_s_hybrid_Rom_Build_18533 Final on an AT&T tilt. Thanks for the help.
I've got the same issue. I've turned off Word Completion, etc. but it didn't seem to make a difference. Guess I need to slow my thumbs down...
Yes, the lag is quite annoying at times. It seems to be less of an issue when less programs are running. But I noticed the problem is not as bad since I stopped using Windows Media Player (which I would run all the time) and started using Audio Manager.
L8
With me the lag was even bigger after I had installed the HTC Touch Keyboard cab, which also xt9. After removing it got a little better (but still there's lag)...
So i guess there is no 1 solution for this keyboard lag? I'm also faced with the same problem I can finish typing my sms about 4 to 5 words faster then it can appear on the screen.
Anybody found a solution?
It might seem irrelevant but it obviously affects any consecutive keystrokes:
Start -> Settings -> Buttons -> Up/Down Control
If you put the delay to minimum, it seems to make things a lot better.
On the contrary, the "turning off autocomplete" solution didn't work for me.
Even though I think this should help you guys as well, I'm kind of pissed off that one has to use workarounds for such an expensive device to work properly. Especially when it comes to the keyboard which is among the top 5 reasons for buying it in the first place. I'm aware of the argument that this kind of thing happens with all WM devices, but still this seems close to unacceptable for me.
All the best

I totally agree, especially for a product that costs €600 or more! Nevertheless it's with all WM and HTC devices, and... has your pc never crashed or do you use a WindowsXP pc which has no tools or addons?

This appears to have fixed it for me, thank you!
This seems to have fixed it about 90% of the time. Sometimes when typing "www." it will end up ww. but that is only part of the time.
Thanks!
Mine sped up somewhat when I did the repeat rate change, but I REALLY noticed a difference when I removed the 3G dial pad and rebooted, seems everything is running faster now, but knowing my luck its a tease and it'll just go back to normal

Very odd, but it works for me. Thanks for the tip!
Up/Down control setting change worked for me too. Now the only problem is I actually get 3 letters sometimes!

Maybe decrease the key repeat rate?
SWEET
the up down to a minimum seems t work for me. any suggestions as to which screen keyboard is better to use then the one in the rom my thumbs are to fat and its hard to use the keyboard when im driving. I knwo tis not safe but everyone does it. i guess it would be safer If my kaiser had bigger screen buttons for ppl with chubby fingers. LOL
thanks in advance.

Hi Juanito,
Don't think it's your chubby fingers - we all suffer from it. I've heard people talk about the PCMKeyboard. On the last Roms i've tried, it didn't work, not sure why. I am currently running a ROM that has the Diamond keyboard, which I like too. The only thing I have to get used to is that it has two keys on each button (similar to for instance Nokia) but it is QWERTY (see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2199341&postcount=15)...
Regards,
Nika.
I do also have the same problems with the whole touchscrenn input.
after some time working around, somehow all inputs have a delay. so for example when I am trying to close a program, the X (to close Prg) animates to be pushed half a second after I clicked on it...
or when I am trying to switch between tabs, it seems as the cpu is hanging somewhere around 100% and you have to repeat your input more times or try to push harder on the screen etc... until the inputs has been accepted.
is that a known issue? its very annoying...
only thing that helps is to softreset the device... but after some minutes the effect starts again...
to dr-house: your problem might be related to the 'htc task manager', especially versions 2 and higher. Disable it's auto start-up and see if you see any improvements.
how do u disable the taskmanger on startup and do the 3G txt thing??
When i m typing on the keyboard sometimes when i hit the space bar and then a letter after it the letter goes first then the space. it happens many times and im wondering if theres a way to fix this. its like the space lags. im using dutty wm6.1
DISABLE XT9!
seriously...learn to search before posting...this has been covered a billion times
Sorry to re-birth this thread but the thing is, that's not the entire solution to this problem. I have this problem as well, and searched around for a while before finding anything useful. I have had XT9 disabled since day 1, and have had the same problem. Example...If I want to type...
Hello world, how is the weather today? Sometimes it would come out as...
Helo wrld, how i the wethr toay?
Pretty annoying. Even my g/f noticed it on my phone (at first I thought it was me being lazy, but I was wrong).
A solution that seemed to drastically improve this was changing the word completion settings. I now have suggestion after enter 3 letters (rather than a space), and suggest 2 words. I would recommend doing this (Start, Settings, Input, Word Completion). I would also recommend changing the delay before first repeat rate, and even the repeat rate a bit. Move the delay before first repeat rate all the way down to the shortest. (Start, Settings, Buttons, Up/Down Control).

i also have this problem, only way i can get it to type right is if i just text SLOW and press every button slow and firm.
I'm pretty sure that this is just one of the negative things with the Kaiser. There has been plenty of complaints about the slide-out QWERTY buttons not being built very well. I noticed this immediately since my last phone was a Hermes, and the keyboard on my Hermes was ultra-awesome compared to my Kaiser's keyboard.
did you diable cleartype?
do a search on that i have had similar problems but disabling cleartype and keeping the inbox clean helps.......
This problem actually popped up for me a few weeks ago after I installed the HTC software keyboard. When I uninstalled the software keyboard, my spaces went back to normal. I then tried installing the PocketCM Keyboard, and the same thing happened. As soon as I uninstalled it, the problem went away. This could be limited to me. I know that everyone can't be having the same problem with these software keyboards or no one would be using them.
I did also adjust the T9 settings so that it only suggested words after 5 letters (I only use it for long words anyway). This did cut down on typing delay, but didn't fix the problem with the spaces ending up after the first letter of the next word.
I'm running the L26 Diamond V9 ROM, with the default Tilt radio.
I did manual updates all through the Froyo pre-release process, and now I am seeing these bugs that others apparently see fixed with FRF91:
- WiFi disconnects from my home router randomly (was fixed in FRF83, broken again now for me in FRF91)
- Car Dock nightmares - it keeps forgetting the speakerphone settings, touchscreen unresponsive until off/on action, randomly uses N1 speaker instead of dock speaker for navigation directions
- Vibrate 2-step volume down option lost (this may be a feature but still I hope not)
Is there a SIMPLE way for me to just 'reinstall' or 'repair' the OTA FRF85B, much like you can reinstall Windows over the top of itself without losing all your settings?
Key: I don't want to lose my apps and settings at all!
If you're rooted you could use titanium backup and flash an earlier build.
If not, you probably would have to use a PASSIMG then update to 85B - but you'd lose your settings. The market sync will give you all your apps back once you sign in though.

Thanks. Is it actually possible to have a botched install of FRF91, leading to the above possible issues, or would my Froyo update either 'work properly' or 'not at all'?
Just don't want to go through all the trouble of reinstalling from a clean factory build for no reason.
And if it is possible, can you clarify how Titanium Backup will help me? Will it provide a simple way to just 'install 2.1' in a few clicks?
not sure what you mean about the vibrating deal, but on my phone when i press down volume, it never shows a silent icon, the lowest i can get is the "vibrate" icon, its still silent but it reads like its on vibrate. I cant remember if this started at the initial unofficial froyo or one of the later versions. Does anyone else experience this, or maybe its supposed to be this way? i can live with it (not important enough to start a whole thread), its just annoying...
Well for some ridiculous reason Google removed the lovely 2-step vibrate option (where you would press volume down once for vibrate and again for silent), and changed the Sound settings area so that you can now only choose whether the phone vibrates in silent mode or doesn't vibrate in silent mode.
I loved this feature before. The iPhone had to have a dedicated switch for this, but Google solved it with ingenuity. Now in their infinite stupidity, they removed it completely. Doh.
So I picked up a stock AT&T active and been using it for a month now. I love the phone but a few annoying things that it does daily on me is really starting to make me want to throw the poor phone! First the screen is way to sensitive sometimes! I try to text and it adds letters or I try to move between my home screens and it will open an app like I tapped on it, but I didn't. Or when I close out my running tasks it will act like I double tapped in that certain area and will open my mail app since it was in that touch zone. Anyhow I have played around with all the settings like "Air View" or "Motions and gestures" under the settings menu. Also the calling contact feature is really pissing me off. Say someone calls me but I miss the call, so I bring up my call log and I tap on the person that called me. It shows the phone icon and usually when you tap that, it suppose to call the person, but no stupid phone goes back to the call log list instead. I have to keep doing this like around 5 to 10 times before the dumb phone will finally decide to call the person! I am running the stock, or at least what came with it, firmware. Android version 4.3 with Baseband of I537UCUBML2. Has anyone else had these issues with this phone? Plus how can I fix this?

First off I'll say that ML2 had been known to be buggy. For your first problem, did you make sure Glove Mode is disabled? For your second problem I have no idea. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
If it is in fact stock, do a software update to KitKat and it should fix your stability issues. I can't because of root.
I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.
1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.
2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.
3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly
4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.
5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.
So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.

Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.

So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.
So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.
