I have stock Note 3 and I've been running into issues with a lag or delay while using Swype in hangouts and other apps. I'm assuming it's an issue with Swype and it causes me to lose whole words. I wish the other Swype-esque keyboards were as good, but even the Google keyboard gets wrong more often than not compared.
The new hangouts has some additional issues for me where nothing I type shows up and the send button doesn't replace the camera location. I usually have to change keyboards to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are not the only one...
Thought I was going crazy. But yes - definitely a Swype + Hangouts issue afoot.
Not sure if this is the place for help - I'd think hitting the Swype forums is best shot (which is my next port of call - this thread came up top on Google when I searched just now for this issue).
cheers
I have the same problem using Swype in Hangout on my Droid Maxx. I don't have issues with Swype in any other apps.
Swype becomes sluggish and whole words are oddly lost, among other problems.

All,
I am wondering if other google voice app users are experience the same issues I am seeing. I have reported a bug to Google on how the autocomplete feature in Google Voice will not always work. Link to my post at Google is here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=275813d2bb452112&hl=en
Do others have this isssue? I wanted to start here within the DINC forum. I was not sure where else to post this. If people are having this issue, could you please confirm it here as well as post it in the google support forum?
Thanks for your help!
i looked at your post, and it seems that it is only reproduceable with the HTC keyboard. I use swype and I didnt have that problem. I noticed a quick work around when using the HTC keyboard- instead of pressing down keyboard after selecting your contact, just press the back softtouch button...works.

Yes, you are correct. You need the stock keyboard.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Update: Google pushed an updated version of the app. Problem is now fixed.
For the first time I'm experiencing some lag with the Aria. It isn't horrible, but it wasn't there before and I'm curious.
Of course, I don't know if it's due to R012 (and rooting) or some change in Google Voice, or something else.
I have 104megs of available phone memory and over 3 gigs of sdcard.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
Google voice has always been a little slow for me on the aria, when i press the icon it takes a few seconds to load but after that I have no more issues.
I have definitely been having this problem with the recent versions of GV. I think it all began when they tossed in the widgets, although I'm not using them. As of right now it can take my Liberated Aria up to 30 secs to pull up a text message. Absolutely insane.
Does anyone happen to have an older .apk of GV that didn't include the widgets?
I too have been experiencing the same issue. The lag is awful! Only started with the latest update.

Yea, I've noticed the keyboard is very laggy sometimes. Using swype got rid of that for me.
Don't know exactly what I did. But it's not lagging anymore. Jackjackpa you mentioned switching keyboards. I did install a modded version of the HTC keyboard I wonder if that did the trick for me as well.
Has anyone figured out a way to fix the stock email client so that it auto-corrects with anything other than the stock keyboard? I'm tired of stock due to the small space key but Better Keyboard and Smart Keyboard auto-correct don't work with the email client (they do of course in other apps - eg Whatsapp).
Since there are 0 replies I'll add
From what I understand about keyboard they are quite independent to the app. The keyboard has 2 parts, the keys + layout and the line where it puts in suggestions and words etc.
They are only bound to apps in a kinda fire and forget way, from my limited knowledge I would think it's actually hard to disallow suggestions from the keyboard within an app, since they are quite separate. Speculation only though.
I like the stock gingerbread rom which works absolutely fine except in email (except hepatic feedback)
Strange. Stock samsung keyboard isn't my friend so would love this to work!

I'm sure someone could either hack the Samsung keyboard to fix the space key or get the alternative keyboards (eg Multi-Lingual GB KB) to work in Sammy's email?!? I really don't want to go back to Touchdown since I like the stock client!
Hi I only use gmail so not sure if other email app is the same (I ripped it off my phone)
But I use perfect keyboard and that works fine in gmail

Any ideas about fixing this one? This is the one issue that is annoying me about the phone. I use Smart Keyboard Pro but it won't auto-correct in the email client (despite working everywhere else).
I can confirm it. I use Smart Keyboard and Auto Caps function works only in the subject of the new email but not in the message body. Original Samsung keyboard works fine, so it seems to me, that it is problem of alternative keyboards. I hope developer of Smart Keyboard will fix it soon.
Bump. Still drives me a bit crazy. Has anyone tried to open a ticket with Samsung? It's clearly a bug with their Exchange client, which is different (much better!) than everyone else's ... but suffers this replacement KBD issue. The small space key is what really drives me nuts on the stock keyboard.

Yes, built-in E-Mail client is VERY VERY good - I am using it for multiple email accounts (Exchange + Gmail) and for this combination is much better than other clients from the Market.
I hope it will be fixed soon. Same as missed call count notification on the Phone icon - when I have some missed calls, there is no notification on icon ;(
Just wanted to bump this thread, as this issue is driving me nuts too. I think our only hope at this time would be for a custom rom to include a fix for the Samsung Email .apk.
Issue is fixed in the latest version of smart keyboard Prediction works as expected, just give it a try. I find smart keyboard from the market to be the best keyboard around anyway, it has many of the same features as the htc imei mod keyboard.

Just to let you know.
Auto capitalization on the email client is working now with "Perfect keyboard"
Thank Goodness - The Answer!
Thanks everyone I really appreciate this thread it was driving me mad! Now using perfect keyboard instead of the Gingerbread keyboard.

Which insertion marker?
Hey everyone, not sure this is the right section but here goes.
I am running a rooted att 2.3.4 atrix and using swype. my keyboard randomly collapses while i am typing. i dont thing im hitting a specific button or anything, just randomly decides that im done typing. usually happens after occasionally right as i swype a word, as in just when a new word is inputted.
any ideas?
Thanks
edit: ps was working fine last week, no changes in software since this started happening
Had this problem when I first had my Astrix. I solved it by completely deleting my "dictionary" and disabling it. Lg you go on settings and on input then choose keyboard settings, you will find your personalised dictionary filled with words that you have been using which are not included in the phone's dictionary (usually slaNg words).
Sorry for any typos. I am Swyping half asleep here. If you mange to solve your problem, which I am sure you will. Don't forget to give thank me.
Let me know how it goes.

thanks for the response. I deleted my user dictionary but cant find the setting to disable it, still having the keyboard issue. i am running att 2.3.4 if that helps.
cheers
Weird. That did the trick for me. Unfortunately, I am on CM7 at the moment and I don't think I think the keyboard settings are different or they have been moved but keep looking for a way to disable the user dictionary and see what happens.

Ive recently started to have this problem too with swype. Ive also typed words and have seen the travel path trace but no words show up. i have to close then reopen the keyboard. looking for a fix. Im unrooted on Bell
Hello. It seems like my phone kills swiftkey from time to time. And that makes my phone seem slow when it has to reload it. Any way to keep it in memory? Have to use Samsung keyboard for now... :/

I don't have this kind of problem but I never used emoji prediction. In which language do you use it ? Maybe related to the language?
same here with Swype keyboard @Sgs6
It really seems that it gets kicked off from memory after some time. Is there any way to force it kept in memory?
I don't use emoji prediction either. And I do not have any lags on the keyboard at all!
I'm using UK English, i face randomly shut down swiftkey and other third party keyboard too. I used to owned S6, after upgraded to 5.1.1, problem started to occur... now having same problem with S6 Edge Plus. Sad...
same here (only with swiftkey) on sony z ultra on 412 (cane be bothered updating yet).
emoji etc off. only happened a few updates ago. typing away and keyboard randomly closes. after waiting 30 seconds and repeatedly clicking in text area the keyboard pops back up and works for a while. reboot and same behaviour, same if wipe data etc.
might try wiping data and unlinking from my acc. if not that IMO has to be the app as OS hasn't changed (rooted and no OTA updates).
I ditched Swiftkey because it seems laggy and slow for me. With other keyboards I have no problems.
It's a bug of SwiftKey since 5.4. I have reported it several times with explinations, screencasts etc. They simply refuse to aknowledge they screwed up the app. So I'm using samsung keyboard, which, by the way, uses Swiftkey SDK.
Did you look at the App Optimization system? I have disabled Swiftkey there, to avoid having the system closing it after a certain time, and everything seems to be ok for now.
I noticed it lags a lot on the Edge Plus too which is ridiculous because of how fast the phone is, I have been trying out other keyboards and one that came close to swiftkey for me was Minuum Keyboard it has some really good prediction even for really sloppy fast typing.
I have read on a another topic that this is caused by the Samsung firmware itself. It detects SwiftKey as low priority and kills it whenever possible, even when you are using it (which is kind of ridiculous?)
I've read that if you disable spcm in build.prop (requires root) the issue will be fixed. I hope that Samsung does something with it soon as the same problem has been on touchwiz since the start..
So not only the edge+ that has the issue, I got the International S6 (920F) and I need to live with that issue... Almost considered rooting and voiding my warranty because of this and the terrible ram management.

Try this; it might help you along the way:

On the S6 go to Settings--> Language and input--> Default keyboard --> Set up input methods --> Turn off Samsung keyboard and Google voice typing. Worked for me.
