Keyboard lag - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else experience extreme keyboard lag? Even on my old Galaxy Nexus it wasn't this atrocious. Have yet to try another keyboard.
Sometimes when it lags this horrible repeating happens and words words are repeated multiple times. I think think it think it has think it has something to do with the auto correct lagging behind. See?

you could try resetting settings see what what happens happens

Haha I appreciate the response and the humor. I tried clearing the data for for the keyboard but I'm still running into the same problem. The only way that I can get around it is to slow down my typing speed. Annoying.
I tried using the Google Google keyboard Google keyboard as Google keyboard as well Google keyboard as well and encountered the same results.
Argh!

Haha it seems to have gone away on its own. Not sure why or how, but it's gone. I did notice that CPU spiked during those instances but I wasn't able to put my finger on what was causing that.

Lag?

Am I the only one experiencing MASSIVE lag on this phone? The lag comes and goes intermittently, its really random. Not consistent, but I experience it often doing typical tasks, such as changing my browser window, opening text messages, changing between apps, the notification bar will stutter when pulled down randomly, etc. This is my second S4, and both seem to lag really bad.
What do you guys think?
Turn off all bloat ware or factory reset the phone.

Maybe power saving feature is on? I've read it can cause some since it affects cpu...

Its off, at first I thought maybe that was the problem, but I'm positive its off.
It's a problem. Everyone has noticed it with the AT&T version. AT&T and Samsung really need to get together and get on this pretty quick to address this issue. Stutter and lag should not be part of a phone that scores so well on every benchmark.

So its limited to just the At&t branded version? If thats the case I might just return this and pick up the T-mobile version.
Install Nova launcher and override the transition animations with either slide or ICS. That takes care of the stutters when opening and closing apps.

I have uninstalled all bloat, changed launcher to Nova, and reduced animation times... And my phone still lags with typing and in the browser and overall UI. This is disgusting to see... My Nexus 4 is so much smoother...

Have you changed the transition animations within Nova settings? That fixes the stutters when opening and closing apps.

I havent noticed any lag either, but have thought that maybe its cause I came from an ns4g on sprint.

That stinks. Changed them a few hours ago and I've not had one stutter opening or closing an app since. Silky smooth now. Using ICS animations right now.

I have lag & studdering as well. I've had an S3 & a Note 2 & nether one of them has it as bad as my S4. Just thinking it may be because it's there 1st phone 2 run on the newest 4.2.2 OS & just need 2 work out a few bugs. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, fingers crossed becuase besides from that this thing is a Beast! Loving it

I'm not wrong. It's a fact there is stuttering and lag on MANY of these phones.

Im convinced the lag is a sure thing on ALL devices. Those of you who dont THINK you have no lag, I assume is because you have never used a lag free device like the HTC One or Nexus 4. Personally at this point I'd go as far to say my old S3 was "smoother" than this S4.....
Mine is so laggy that I don't even want to use it. I would say that its because it has so much going on.

Even with everything disabled and bloat ware deleted, there is still considerable stuttering and lag going on.

Animation bug?

Found something wierd with developer options on this build. Not sure if I should post this in q&a or here, but general gets more traffic so.
Anyways I always disable animations fully when I turn on dev options. I have noticed that they do not stay set. The middle option, switches back to one. Not after a reboot, just at some point during sleep or maybe when a certain app or routine gets run. Not sure. Might be a setting that I have on interfering with my settings. Anyone else notice this?
I will probably reset and go through the setup again bit by bit to see what's causing this. Very noticeable when normally nothing but quickness happens between apps, then the stock animations start showing up randomly. Thx

I have the Sprint variant and I never noticed this until you pointed it out but yep, happens on the N900P as well.

So it is a bug! Definitely going to reset and setup bit by bit and see what does this. I also have a pebble. Do u by any chance? Forgot to mention that in the op, but who knows.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 4
I do not own a Pebble, no.
I noticed the same thing, it happens to me mostly when I use the camera...I'm tracking to see what other apps cause it...if any

I set them all to .5 and they stick. Still see animations, but they are very quick. Also turn everything to "fast" in Nova launcher.

I tried that too, that's how I figured out the camera was causing it to switch back to 1x....

Cool, Def seems to be the culprit. Happened immediately after I opened camera too. Haven't seen anything else that I might be yet, but it might just be the cam. Thx
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Has anyone found a workaround for this issue? anywhere? Verizons latest update fixed the call quality issue but the transition animation bug is still there...
No but the camera is the only thing that makes happen on mine too. On the update too. It's obviously a back burner issue. Hasent been too big of a deal for me, but I would love to see it solved.

S Pen issue

For some reason my Note 3 will only vibrate when I remove my s pen. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is and my web searches have come up empty handed. Has anyone else suffered from this and said you get it fixed? Thanks

Out of curiosity in Settings under s pen have everything checked off and enabled?

The main reason why you haven't received replies is because... this is the General section of the site; not the Q&A. As for your issue, I would do a factory reset since it, honestly, sounds like a software issue. You could also try a different S Pen before doing that, other than that, I'm not sure what else might be causing it.

Keyboard lag?

It could be a placebo, coming from an iPhone 6s Plus, but the stock google keyboard seems slightly laggy to me. Like it doesn't keep up with my typing. It's similar to how the Samsung keyboard performs on the Note 5 for me. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions for a better performing keyboard? I would think the stock google keyboard would be the fastest.
Can't speak about the Nexus 6P since I don't have one. But seeing how all my other Nexus devices work I would doubt it's something other than bad apps installed (if that at all). I seen what your talking about happen even on the latest iOS devices.
Take the iPhone 6s Plus. Seen it on one of my mine. BUT, I figured it was my backup I was using.

I don't have any "bad apps". I have the same apps installed as I had on my Nexus 6, which didn't have any issues.
No offense, but I'm not sure you should be speculating when you don't even have the device.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
No offense taking. But being someone who has seen keyboard lag on new iOS devices just wanted to say how it happens even on those.

None. Been using the phone for exactly a week and I haven't noticed any stutters at all in the keyboard.

They aren't stutters. It's just almost imperceptibly slow. Like my typing outpaces it. I'm not sure how to explain it. The rest of the phone is silky smooth.

Have you tried disabling "Vibrate on keypress"? If I remember correctly, it is enabled by default. If I don't disable it, I can type faster than the keyboard can keep up with.
I've noticed the same issue as well when using Google hangouts for some reason. I thought it was my SwiftKey but I guess it happens with the stock keyboard too?

You know what? I think know that might be it. I switched to SwiftKey and used typing sounds instead of vibration and it definitely seems faster. I'll give that a try with the stock keyboard.

S8 fingerprint lag?

Please have a look at this video as it is driving me insane. Is this lag normal? it doesnt do it all the time and sorry the video isn't the best. The apps seem to reload or "jump". I thought it was just on homescreen but it seems to do it in apps too.
https://youtu.be/RVu2RzM_iW4
Even my S8 lags while unlocking. Sometimes it wont detect my fingerprint. I have registered only my index fingers (each finger has been registered twice, to increase accuracy).
Would be nice if someone suggests a fix to make it better.
Mine does the same thing. It was not a fast fingerprint reader to begin with.

Mine does exactly the opposite. Its always responsive , faster than iris regognition and it unlocks without having to tap screen or by pressing the power button. Actually one thing i actaully love and its practical a.f si the fingerprint sensor. Even the fact that is positioned on the back.
Here too. It acts like my phone doesn't even know my finger is on the scanner.
It usually works, but sometimes I have to unlock it with the password because of this issue.
Very annoying.
