I've been having very bad lag using Google's Gboard keyboard. It only happens when pressing the "shift" arrow and pressing a key. I also notice this happens most frequently in password fields.
It's very bad and makes the app nearly unusable. Does anyone else have the issue or offer a fix?
I'm having the exact same issue.
Use SwiftKey it's better

SwiftKey is fine if you like to tap each key to type. Nothing is more accurate than Gboard for swiping.
The Flow feature of SwiftKey is horrible in comparison.

I have no issues with Gboard; however, I am in the beta tester program. Did you try the beta version?
I have same issue.

When I'm typing (in portrait mode) a lot of time when I press the SPACEBAR (and I'm in a groove, so I'm typing somewhat fast, but DEFINATELY hitting the spacebar and it's showing that it's being hit) it doesn't register, so I have no spaces between words.. I have to actually pause for a moment after I hit the spacebar so it will register...
Is anyone else having this problem...?
Is there a fix for it?
I have a stock hd2 (not unlocked or anything).
same issue stock or not it sounds like you have came from a iphone like me and can type faster then the keyboard knows what to do with so yeah idk a fix but
+1
yeah, but it's not my speed (I mean, I am typing faster that the phone can process for the most part), the spacebar is registering when I type, but if I don't pause for a second, it doesn't register the space.. it doesn't do this with any keys except for the spacebar..
oh, btw, it's doing the same thing in landscape mode too.. so it's just a universal problem on here for me.
lol yup
its the same here i mean there are keyboard sensitivity tweaks out there but its still not enough lol when i get pissed off and i am texting its too fast lol
ok, so i enjoy the swype keyboard but realized there is no voice input button for it. Am i pretty much out of luck with this unless i want to use my old keyboard or is there a way i can use voice input somehow with this like with a long hold of something.
for speech to txt you have to use the stock keyboard for now... Swype will probably have that option in the future but for now, no such thing
So grabbing the official version is no better than using any of the of swype apk download links floating around?
It is tough to ask us to switch to a different keyboard when that keyboard takes away the voice input option that Android has given us.
no- just check the version #. (Current as of today: 1.56.30.7625.t100)
The 'official' version is the same just handed out by Swype
i think swype blows anything else out of the water when using the keyboard itself. I never really used the speech to txt unless driving so I just switch back when I need it.... a long press in the text box, then select the original keyboard.

Yeah, I'm just being difficult today.
I do really like the Swype keyboard. I'm not a big texter, I barely text - but I'm a big fan of technology and am a programmer so I definitely can appreciate the Swype keyboard app. I just want that damn button.
yeah, I hear ya. I'm sure it will come eventually.... They say in their forums on their website that they are aware of the demand and that's basically it. At least they've acknowledged it so I'm sure it will come.
Wow I've using swype today for the first time and its amazing!
When using swype, instead of swyping hit menu from there you have a speak button for talk to text
If we wanted to add in multiple button presses to get to things we'd get an iPhone ... lol
j/k .. obviously we have to live with it for now, but at least they are "aware" of it. Not that they're going to change anything though.
I just found the arrow button screen by swyping from swype menu button to alt button, there's open spot there for it.

I use handsent, and yes when you hit menu with swype keyboard on screen you have option of "speak" and it enters into the message area.

On my inc, I get to the same menu by swyping form the swype menu button to the SYM button right next to it. Hope that helps others that can't find it, it may be difference on your hardware version.

I don't see a microphone. Could you explain how this works?
What app are you in at the time?
The "speak" option is part of Handcent, not a function of the keyboard. I think a lot of people have been confused by the lack of clarity there.
There is no way to use speech input with Swype itself without switching to the stock keyboard. Any option to speak while the Swype keyboard is selected is purely a function of the application you happen to be using at the time.

I think you are partially correct. I DO have the "Speak" option when using Handcent and Swype. I DON'T have it when using K-9 and Swype, though.
Anyone else having sluggish issues in chrome? Was reading wired and it just froze a few seconds before letting me scroll the page.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah it is sluggish sometimes, the other day I was reading http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...e-olympics-will-be-worth-watching-this-summer in Chrome, and it's very bad, scroll delay or doesn't scroll at all. It's a bit more bearable in Dolphin Browser.
Yep, same here.
I am also having an issue with deleting characters in the search bar in Chrome. When I press the backspace button, it adds random characters every time I try to delete. It happens at random times and is kind of annoying.

Not a fan of this Chrome implementation. Went back to the AOSP browser
+1 Yeah totally agree Chrome just isn't that good at the moment..
Has anyone figured out how to enable one-handed mode on the built in Swype keyboard?? I see they've added that option to their latest update on the play store, yet there is no such option in settings.
This must be a gimped version.. =/ any workarounds to do this?
TIA!

Well no, sorry I thought you were referring to the Samsung keyboard, why would you use Swype though if this keyboard already has that feature of swyping? I had it on my old phone and deleted the app causei don't need it

The Samsung swipe is horribly inaccurate. Out of all the different swipe keyboards I've used, Swype is just the most accurate.
I just paid for the app, and now I have one handed available. Now with all the "hacks" I've enabled, I can use the phone totally one handed.

Cool
Press the other buttons
On my swype, you have to hold down the button that has "?123" on it. If you look closely it has a little arrow icon on it. That opens the keyboard movement options from left and right. Couldn't find options anywhere else
Has anyone else experienced keyboard lag when running 120Hz on QHD?
Try opening the browser and typing a word you can type out quickly and then after typing quickly delete it with backspace button on keyboard.
I noticed that something was off when typing on QHD when running 120Hz, and while doing this experiment I noticed there is a clear delay before phone recognizes backspace button being pressed, that isn't there on FHD resolution.
Can anyone else try that and let me know if they feel the difference?
Tried this had no problems

I've been running both qhd and 120hz since 4/20 without any issues at all. Also I am using Gboard for keyboard.
