Does anyone else experience these?
1. Sometimes when scrolling a webpage, it starts scrolling really fast, fast enough to reach the bottom of the page.
2. When replying to a text message, the keyboard sometimes overlaps the last few messages and other times repositions the list so you do not need to scroll.
These two things are really annoying
I experience the messaging bug a lot. I kind of got used to it but it is quite annoying. I had a Euro Hero that didn't do this at all. Are you rooted and using a custom ROM? I'm still on stock but will be rooting soon.
sent from my HTC Aria.
I've experienced the speed-scroll many times. Hands down the most frustrating experience of this otherwise excellent phone.
Regarding the speed scroll, I have the captivate and it will occassionally do the same thing. I'm more inclined to believe it's an android thing than a device specific thing.
That message thing was driving me crazy when I first got the phone. Im on cyanogenmod now and it doesn't do it anymore.

its more a problem with touch technology in general. you can do the same think on a trackpad.
I'm on stock so I may switch to cyanogen to fix the message issue.
My iphone never had scrolling issues. Maybe I will post about it in the general android forums and see if other android users are having problems. It is really horrible.

I have the Sprint Hero, and used the stock rom for 5 months,
DC 2.05
DC 2.07
and currently fresh rom 2.0, The keyboard lag is rediculous on this thing, and one of the worst keyboards I have ever used. The lag makes it unusable..
I have installed the 2.1 HTC IME keyboard, the 1.5 stock HTC KB, and the same one on the droid eris. Nothing helps.
The droid eris' keyboard works perfectly for some reason and for the hero, it sucks. It seems everyone will comment saying
"Mine doesn't lag"
If someone cannot come up with a possible fix, can someone please explain why their is lag on the HTC KB.
you might consider using xdas
lotsa options :-D
not sure if its more lightweight and less lag, and i hate to say it but...mine doesnt lag and i have no explanation
try regawmods rom. he has a black keyboard, its pimp. i found that while i dont experience LAG per-say, when compared to his, his was much more RESPONSIVE.
I'll join in. Mine has lag and I couldn't figure it out. I just installed Fresh 2.0d today to see if it's different. So far... no.
I agree with you, mine did lag. I'm using Sushi rom and the black htc keyboard is very responsive. Also, the AOSP keyboard never lagged one bit. I love it.
I'm running Fresh 2.0d. I'm also using Better Keyboard from the market...and I have no lag. The only time I will notice lag is if the phone is recieving a call while I'm texting, or if an app is installing after download. Aside from that...I'm not noticing a lag.
I also keep my phone as clean as possible. I clear text messages once a week, often clear my call log, ect.
Its mostly the messaging app i've discovered. Try pushing this to your phone. It will give you the stock android 2.1 messaging app which I love, and it is much faster
I started using the beta from swift key and it works nice.
i have to agree. the keyboard lag pisses me off. i can't take it. turning off vibration helps which i dont mind and turning off sound helps but i do mind that. i would really like sound on this.
The 2.1 IME keyboards and the XDA keyboard both lagged for me. Luckily I only have to deal with it long enough to install Estrong's file explorer so I can slap Swype back on. I don't have any lag in Swype.
You could try the non-haptic keyboard here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660506
For me it's not just text messages. It's everywhere on the phone. I will be in the web browser and typing in an address and i will take the e and it sits for a sec then a 3 shows up. Or, I will type and it will pop in the letter, but I can't hit another letter for another second or 2. 1.5 wasn't like this, but I can deal.
Does the better keyboard from the market have the voice to text option? I've been using that a lot lately.

I have the HTC Mms .apk that came with Fresh 2.0, but I am a noob, when it comes to the adb stuff, could you please or someone explain how to install the stock 2.1 Mms.apk , I will give it a shot and hope it works.
I hate to say this, but the one thing the iPhone has over this is the KB. I am not an apple fanboy, I prefer android. But the KB lag makes the phones only input method virtually unusable.
1.5 was like this also. everything i tried has a keyboard lag. better keyboard is ok but it lags also.
every keyboard lags for some reason.

the stock keyboard lags also. don't even bother but it is close to better keyboard in performance. i wish there was a way to boost protity on the keyboard apps.
is there an app for that???
exactly, and its not just texting, every text field its ridiculous.
i just tried disabling everything in better keyboard and it isn't helping.
i tried looking for an apps that would increase the cpu priority on apps (keyboard) but i couldn't find any...

I dont think increasing the priority will help, but download Auto Memory Manager from the market.. Go to running processes, long hold it, and increase the priority or just say never kill, gives it the highest.

i'm downloading and trying it now.
I turned off Vibrate when typing and I don't lag one bit, prior to doing that I lagged a ton.

Yes........
I have also experienced EXTREME lag in most of the 2.1 roms out right now. Esp. DC and Fresh. Turned off vibrations, turned off sound, installed every keyboard I could find including AOSP and it didn't help. The lag was all over the place too just like others reported - not just in text messages or email.
Then I found a fix...
A rom without Sense. So far it's the only thing that has worked for me (other than reverting back to a 1.5 rom - yuck). Ic3 and MatrixROM both have 0 lag and run beautifully for me. Haven't tried the newer Sense-less roms yet.
Hope this helps!
Ok,
does anyone else notice that the Atrix touch screen location seems a bit off?
I really notice it during browsing the internet and it seems it needs calibration. I cant say how many times I have had to click back an redo my clicking action. It seems that when you click its not accurate...
Any one else notice?
Can it be recalibrated?

Yeah I've noticed this too. It's not too bad but it is moderately annoying.

SAME HERE
Yep, same problem here but only happens in the browser. No problems typing at all but I always click a link and it seems to click a link or two above my intended selection. This problem was also even more prominent when I tried to use the firefox browser which seems to be the only browser that will allow me access to my schools website..sticking through it for now in hopes that a software update will fix it unless other users aren't having this problem, maybe just need to exchange this particular device.

After reading your post I agree with you. I mostly notice the problem with the browser. I do notice it slightly when typing but this could be do to me coming from an Iphone 4 with the keyboard being slightly different.
I dont know if you tried the browser Skyfire, but this was the only browser that I could make changes and save them when accessing the Google Voice settings from my phone. The standard browser, firefox, and even opera didnt display the full page so I was unable to actually save my changes.
Skyfire has its annoyances as well but its the best I found so far...
Thanks

Well Mine was annoying to type in landscape cause the spacebar was about 1mm higher then it looks. Felt like I was typing a "B" to hit the spacebar.
That was annoying but now, now I have the Nexus screen flip-out! Any time I type or touch the screen the thing flips out. It has a area that is seeing a perminate touch or something.. there is a app on the market that allows you to see where the touch points are. I'll have to down load it and then show someone at ATT to get it replaced... I'm irritated cause at this point I've got a lot of work in it and I cna't just make a nandroid and then restore on my next device..
Sorry about the double post, its not letting me edit my last.

If it is like the Nexus, no software won't fix it, or at least never did. They claimed they were "looking into it" BS for you'll replace it soon enough..
Is anyone else having the touch flip out issue? with multitouch visulizer or multitouch tool see what you get. I ran visulizer on mine and after about 2 min it had a perminate point on the top right corner, eventually it locked up to the point of not being able to use it.
Well hopefully there is a fix for it...I kind of put myself in a tight spot as I installed adeo rom prematurely and as far as I know there is no going back to stock yet. On top of that im pretty sure DG is done done with the atrix so unless someone picks up where he left off and I can getback to stock, ill have to live with the problem. Stupid me...

So it isn't my imagination, or my fat fingers. ONLY IN THE BROWSER. I'll touch something, and something a good 1/4" below it gets selected.
I'd say calibration also, but that doesn't explain why only in the browser. (I miss my Palm stylus!)
Are any of you facing this same problem?
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/362784#362784
Posted videos of the problem there.
So this is my first time doing anything like this to a phone, I believe I installed it to the rom? its the nexus one gingerbread rom. whenever I turn it on it goes straight to android. I was just having a couple of problems and was wondering if they were just something to do with the fact that I have an unofficial install and there's bound to be bugs or if they're android problems with remedies. One thing is after having my phone on for a while the messaging app starts to lag. the keyboard takes a while to pull up and when I try to send a message it hangs, deleting threads doesn't help but its fixed if I reboot. The other thing is when I get picture messages the picture is really blurry, its almost like, its zoomed in too far but I can't zoom out. I've looked the problem up and apparently it was really common on the tmobile nexus ones (I have a tmobile HD2) but it was fixed in one of the updates. As far as I can tell I have the most recent update but if anyone could throw some input it'd be much appreciated
Never used the ROM you did and never experienced the problemes you had.
So can't really help. I would suggest you try more ROMs before you find the one for you.

i know it would be quite time consuming but alot of times there are quirks in the roms like the blurry MMS and if you look through the forum that you downloaded the rom from i bet youll find the answer to these issues.. maybe even post the questions on the forum. these roms are awesome becasue you have the choice of sooo many styles. there is a post called the Nand Bible in the Nand General section that shows a good variety of different ROMs to try. For Tmo i use the Glacier < aka mytouch 4g rom > by MotoMan and its a great rom and built for tmobile spacifically so is really nice all the settings match right away.
i hope this helps some..
I would just try some other ROMS, a lot of people jump around until they find one that suites them best. I know in some ROMs the blurry MMS is a known issue, and you get that pixel-ridden "low res" look.
When looking at the ROMs, generally they'll post a small "Whats working/whats not" type of section, which may give you a preview of what your getting into. Remember to follow the devs instructions for flashing for the best results.
I've had the S2 for a week or two now and I'm finding my main gripe with it is selecting text in the browser.
If you've written a block of text, or several sentences (whatever), I find tapping your sentence to place the cursor at a specific point utterly hit and miss. It's really, really hard to get it where you want it.
I mostly use the stock browser as it's way faster than any other I've tried (Dolphin and Firefox), but this is driving me insane. It's not quite as bad in Dolphin, but it's still pretty bad.
I have to say, the iPhone is way ahead when it comes to placing the cursor where you want it. I'm hanging for a mod that uses the little magnifying glass thing that the iPhone has.
Is anyone else bothered by this and found a solution?
Thanks
Simon
Ah ha!
Tried Opera Mini just now and it worked perfectly! The problem, then, appears to be the browsers.
Whatever, I'm just glad one of them works as it should

Yep...i had the same grief..... its a pain in the arse.
Same so used to iphone browser. Ill try opera mini
One of the few things I wish they would nick from the iPhone. HTC have done it with their new versions of Sense, why can't Google do it with Android in general or Samsung with their devices?
Love em or hate em but I really miss the trackball on the N1. Both for this reason and being able to quicly nab closely spaced link without zooming.
You could download the Gingerbread Keyboard App in the market and use the included D-Pad. I can't live without it.
Regards.
I use gingerbread keyboard and I don't think it has a d-pad..!

Isn't this a generic Android issue as I have encountered it on all the Android phones I have owned as far as I can remember?
Keep in mind the stock browser uses hardware acceleration. I'd guess that anything else is going to be slower.
The double-letter glitch with the stock Android keyboard (and with other keyboards that have adopted the code to the stock Gingerbread keyboard, like Better Keyboard 8) is becoming obnoxious.
It happens so frequently, and not even when typing that fast either. It seems to happen only with the first letter of words... "like tthis" for example, but it'll also happen with the first two letters of a word... "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when this happens with only two letter words, like... "I'm going toto the movies."
It's insane how frequent these glitches occur. And I'm not alone. A search in other forums of other phones running the stock Android keyboard will show threads about this exact issue as well.
A while back I filed a report to Google. If anybody is also experiencing this, please star the report, share, and even add your own experiences if you wish: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I even made a video a while back to show Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk
It's discussed more in length on this old thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11403637&postcount=168
This glitch has got to be addressed and fixed.
I have this problem as well. Have left a reply on the Google report. Really hope it gets fixed as its beginning to spoil my experience with this great phone!
Yea this is really annoying. When I was using Swift Key for a while it wasn't noticeable but now that I am back on the regular keyboard it is annoying as hell.
Interesting. I cannot reproduce on my device.
