Typing sucks so bad - Galaxy S6 General

For some reason when I try to type fast many times it won't register certain letters and it's horrible and annoying. Idk why it's doing this. I used to be able to type so fast. I'm using SwiftKey. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and It still blows. I feel like throwing this phone out the window.

It's SwiftKey. It suck. But with some mod (kernel and rom).. It's going better.

Having same problem with the edge ... Google keyboard random crucial moments keyboard locks up and fails to detect touch then it fixes itself

So many people have similar complaints, including myself, only with a decent Rom, I get better results. I assume, complicated keyboards like Swiftkey, Swype have problems with waking from deep sleep with this big - little core implementation. There's an article about this on pocketnow, I couldn't find the link now.

It's a Swiftkey issue. Same problem on my nexus 6.

The only thing that fixed it for me was rooting and installing a custom rom and kernel

Why does this thing lock up all the time?

This device is blazing fast most of the time, but it will inexplicably lock up, completely, for a few minutes at a time for seemingly no reason. Right now it's frozen on a youtube video and I can't turn it off or use the screen. The device is also unusable really when installing apps, and will lag heavily in Google Now sometimes.
Is this just me? Or 4.2.1?
Just you. My N7 is still operating at warp speed and doesn't lock up..
Faux kernel / paranoid android

Are you stock? If so I heard people saying turning off the sync for currents will help, for Google now lag I feel its performs better if you turn off the hot word in setting. But with that you can't say Google and start voice search

I'm stock 4.2.1 and don't have those issues. I do have currents (and various other apps) disabled, so like previous response said try that. Otherwise maybe go with a factory reset.
When my gnex updated to 4.2 it's performance suffered until I factory reset, now it's been much better.

My best guess would be you have installed an app that is not compatible with 4.2.
How about posting a list of what you have installed, if you use multi-user, and if you are stock (not rooted), and we can give comments.
I agree. I'm running PA and rock solid. I was also rock solid on stock.
I've never had it lock up. I flashed a Trinity kernel once that caused sleep of death... but it was a known issue.

I have a pretty decent amount of apps installed. I'll post them in a minute, but no, I'm not multi-user, and I'm stock. I'll root and put a new rom on this thing if it's worth it, I figured it'd be fine the way it came.
btw, here are my androbench results. Are these slow?

thanks, I'll try disabling those.
Over 100 apps in total, my andronbench write speed is clearly an error so just compare read and app open macros.
My apps open much faster than yours, which I'd put down to PA ROM and kernel. Maybe your write speed is a bit slow?
Can you download "forever gone" from market and try a full fill and delete? Apparently helps reset the memory controller to improve performance.

I just want to know if I should restore, root and flash a new rom on this thing. Can someone check out my androbench scores and tell me if they're normal?

Photo Lag?

Hi
Does anyone have the problem of extreme choppyness and lag when zooming into a photo in the gallery and panning around?
It also seems to happen in quickpic too, and it's very strange indeed. Also quite embaressing when showing your mates a photo and its lagging like hell.
This isn't a problem on the HTC Evo 3d and One S, and tbh any other recent phone I've had. Seems to be Samsung specific and it has persisted on different roms. I'm currently stock 4.1.2 rooted.
Any suggestions? It seems ridiculous how Samsung have not corrected this.

While my nexus 7 with the crappy Tegra SoC doesn't lag at all when viewing photos. Makes me think it's only samsung's terrible rom optimization/drivers...
Does AOSP/CM roms have this issue as well?
Yes it lags for me also. I have 2000-3000 photos in gallery and it lags
I'm on stock 4.1.2 with root, and im using 64gb SanDisk ultra.

Man, are you sure that Samsung is responsible for everything you did on your rooted phone? Where's your responsibility?
I'm still sitting on 4.1.1 (stock) and everything is ok, no lag (except when go into Widgets and when you clean your RAM).

Yeah I am sure it is Samsung/the rom. I've done nothing much at all on my rooted phone and this also occurs after a fresh non rooted wipe and also on the 4.1.1 rom. Rooted or unrooted, and fresh from a wipe.
This does not happen on my HTC ONE S or any other HTC Android phone I have had. Rooted or unrooted. The gallery app in general is laggy as hell too but I'll put that down to how many photos I have.
The lag I'm refering to is related to when you pan around a zoomed photo which was taken with the phone camera. And this also applies to non-stock gallery apps.
Will not be taking any responsibility here whatsoever and fully lay the blame at Samsung's door.

episodes of screen unresponsiveness after updating to kitkat

Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

If your phone isnt hanging up and freezing, that gives me hope. I'll gsm reset, clear the cache and then flash.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.
It is annoying setting up the phone like new lol. I'll update the post as to if I have moments of freezing or the screen becoming unresponsive.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol

Keyboard lags

Hello. I have been using the At&t Samsung galaxy s5 for about a month and a week now, and I've been noticing constantly that my keyboard lags sometimes as I'm texting and feels very slow. I am using the latest swiftkey and I really like swiftkey because of the predictions. I was wondering if others have the same problem and how I might be able to get rid of the lag. Thanks!
Mine too. Anyone got an idea on this? Maybe it's SwiftKey, I use that too. Might be a comnbibaon with too many messages stored in inbox?

Have you tried a simple app cache wipe? If not, try that first then clear the app data completely.

Horrendous lags and subpar performance

Hey all,
I had the s7e for a few months now.
On a fresh rom the phone flies after a few month everything starts lagging, late response of the touchscreen and typing lags are undeniable.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using super man rom. Also tried different Roms and kernels with the same result. Can't get satisfactory performance overall.
As soon as I install my 50 apps it starts lagging.
Thanks

Do a clean flash of your fav rom, but don't install xposed. Lemme know how it goes
Stock rom never lags. Either use odin to flash or use kies to restore the firmware.

Perhaps be more specific.
There is not a phone in the world that doesn't hesitate or stutter at some stage. Whilst today's ROMs and hardware are pretty efficient they can not always avoid possible software conflicts.
