So I am using swiftkey beta and I always feel an occasional lag when I type. It kinda bugs me and annoys me. Is there anyway of fixing this? I already wiped cache and it gets better but only for a little while. Is it because it is beta version? Even when I use regular swiftkey, I can feel small lags. Thanks!

i'm using a paid swiftkey version, no lags for me at all, could you give it a go?
Swiftkey paid is great!!! Best few dollars I spent in the past year.

i see it looks like you guys over here on ATT are having lag as well as us on tmobile!
I came across one app that seems like a big culprit to the lag i am having..
Are you guys running the swiftkey keyboard??? If no, then disregard this post because it does not apply to you.
If you are, then please uninstall it and post back... one other member and myself from the tmobile section both confirm that our phones run much faster and are MUCH less laggy with swiftkey uninstalled. This sucks because i LIVE off using swiftkey. Im not sure why this is causing it, but i would appreciate it if you can contribute to the cause here?
my phone just doesnt run faster by typing. It runs faster all the time.
Swiftkey has NOTHING to do with the lag........

Can't say for sure, but I'm not going to uninstall it because I'm not having any issues. It wasn't lagging before I installed it while giving the stock keyboard a chance for a few days.

If you search through the threads here you will find that most found the stock Samsung Keyboard as laggy and many stated the lag was either reduced or eliminated by installing or using Swift..
My S4 was the same.. Swift reduced my lag considerably in the messaging app, email and web browser..

Did you do a fresh install or use TiBu or something? Try clearing data, then uninstall, then reinstall from market - mine has no lag and I've been using Swiftkey since day one.
So I got my OP2 The other day and have been loving it but only problem is the keyboard has slight lag and its starting to drive me insane. I really didnt want to flash CM12 until the fingerprint sensor is working. Has anyone else noticed this or fixed it?
What keyboard are you using? I haven't noticed anything crazy with SwiftKey, but I'm not a very fast typer on the phone

Same here, I´m kinda disappointed, my Nexus 5 feels smoother than the OPT.... :crying:
Try this keyboard.

I don't know if it's the keyboard lag that you are experiencing or the actual overall sluggishness that the OPT has. Coming from the OPO this phone feels laggy by a few ms.

I came from a Z3 C and overall the phone feels sluggish / unresponsive. Kind of like a Samsung phone.
Definitely seems to be the OS all over; sluggish between apps, camera lag is massive taking photos. Don't get ghost touches that seemed predominant in the old issue with one plus 1 though. Seems updates are suppose to address these issues and have asked directly in a support ticket as my finger scanner suddenly doesn't work after being off for some time :/

same here...there's a lag in the keyboard...is something of software???...kernel???...or hardware?...if is harware i'm gonna sell this sh****.... i can't believe this!
Disable vibration in Google keyboard. Long press on the comma button, go to settings, preferences, and uncheck vibrate. Helps a lot.

Do you experience lag when using the phone. I've experienced lag during basic operations like working with emails in Inbox, app drawer, recent apps, quick menu, scrolling nearly anywhere, etc.
The only lag I've seen thats really bad for me is when swiping to close apps.

Only very occasionally with the keyboard.

I wonder if it's the phone or just a Google keyboard issue? Definitely not a big deal, but kinda frustrating
I thought I was the only one seeing small keyboard lag lol otherwise everything else is OK.
I am using SwiftKey and the emoji's lag. In the phone app when scrolling through the history - terrible stutter...I mean really bad! Other than those two..which are not that important...the phone is great!
The contacts list in Hangouts is pretty laggy for me but that's the app, not the phone. I'm very happy with my purchase.
No Lag but I have had several crashes/restarts. I'm trying to figure out if I have an app causing me the problem. I'm using Nova Launcher and may try to use the Stock one for a bit to see if that is the cause.
I'm using nova. No issues like that. I've noticed a change since I did a factory reset. You may try that.
Since we are talking about lag and speed in this thread I figured I'd post this comparison between the Pure and the S6. I recommend you take a look, I was surprised at the results. His second time through the test is pretty telling.

What lag.
I get minimal stuttering whole scrolling through screens here and there but really nothing major

Coming from a G4 (lag central), I can't tell any lag. I did have one issue where I apparently had too many running apps/processes at once and the phone froze for a few seconds. I cleared all of my running apps, freeing RAM, and haven't had the issue since.

I've been experiencing stuttering around the device, it's not a big deal however. I think the 808 is struggling with the 1440p display.

This is what I'm seeing. Although my wife's phone seems pretty smooth.......
Since the Google App updated with the vertical scrolling feature, I am not getting much lag anymore.
I Have had the phone since the 16th and have had maybe one or two times when the multitasking screen lags just a little when 1st opened. That's all I have seen in my week of owning the Moto X.

We bought the same phone just different configurations.
Both 32GB
Me: Black, Ash
Her: White, Bamboo
Is everyone that's not experiencing lag using the 64gb version?
I've tried a couple different keyboards (swiftkey, google keyboard, fleksy) and I get lag when typing quickly with all of them. I'm coming from a M8 running a custom GPE rom which exhibited none of this. I know that keyboard lag can be a thing, but I assumed a nearly stock device with a snapdragon 808 would be able to operate without struggling to type. Any ideas on how to get rid of this? I am rooted in case there is some sort of tweak that requires that.

I've had this intermittently. Maybe has to do with all the memory shenanigans on lollipop. Most of the time it's fine. But occasionally, it bogs right down.

I just installed a min/free app. I'll play around with it and see if perhaps that helps to minimize it. I'll report back.
Me too tried few keyboards everything runs perfectly on this phone but the keyboard I even tried different SMS apps and nothing.
What I did for now was just turn off vibration when typing so it doesn't feel laggy.. this is why I am waiting for CM 12.1
I will flash it as soon as someone can confirm volte on verizon working

I've installed this app and am running it on aggressive. It's one I've used in the past, and it seems to help the keyboard lag quite a bit. The only downside is it will force apps out of ram more frequently. For me it's a worthwhile trade off, but just be aware.

Yea I will just wait for CM patiently. Hoping for this to be fixed and slightly better battery.
Hi,
I seem to be experiencing keyboard lag specifically in WhatsApp.
Native as well as third party keyboards seems to display this issue. Clearing RAM also does not help.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah seems to be an issue for me as well, the keyboard animation doesn't seem to keep up with my typing speed, I am a very fast typer, but this was never an issue with my old htc one m8, I have tried the stock as well as SwiftKey. Might try the Google keyboard even though I am not a fan of it, but it might be the only keyboard that can keep up with my typing speed.
And yeah, as expected the Google keyboard doesn't lag at all when typing really fast.

Same issue with Google keyboard as well. Ridiculous considering how it's maxed out in terms of hardware.

Not for me though, Google keyboard doesn't lag at all, animations sound typing etc is all on point with my typing speed, I typically go crazy on a new keyboard and type out a sentence really fast to test this, Google keyboard is the only one that has kept up.
But yeah I agree the fact that other keyboards lag is disconcerting, but it might be a problem with the keyboards and the apps themselves rather than Samsung hardware.

Figured it out thanks to a mac forum!
It was happening because I switched to condensed mode display. As soon as I reverted to standard display settings, the lag has disappeared.
Thanks for the input.
I have had this lag ever since I bought the device. On Google keyboard and all others that I have tried. No change when I switched over to condensed mode. When comparing it to the smoothness of my old z2, it is a joke.

Really? Switching back from condensed to standard display has completely solved the lag issue for me. I'm on stock Samsung keyboard now and it works great.

I had lag on the Samsung keyboard from day 1. Switched to Google keyboard helped. Have noticed no difference when I switched to condensed a few weeks ago. To see the fluidity in my old z2 is frustrating. Should have listened to my own advice and never bought a cr*psung.
