Galaxy S3 Keyboard lag

[Golfdriver97]

This didnt fix my lag. My keyboard still lags. This is such bull. Not even worth your time cuz it will just revert right back to the crap this is beginning to be.

Have you tried a different one like Google?

you can also try clearing the data for keyboard before doing a hard reset and losing all you stuff thats not backed up. to clear the keyboard data press menu, settings, application manager, go to all then find samsung keyboard, click on it then click clear data. check your settings to see if you have predict turned on. also try clearing your user dictionary.

a fantastic way to save as much of your info as possible is to create a samsung account and selecting what you wanted backed up. it'll back up sms, mms, wall paper, logs and internet bookmarks just to name a few.

I have the exact same problem, and this didn't work for me either

I had the lag problem with the Swype keyboard. When I switched to another keyboard (like the Samsung kb) there was no lag. I tried Clear Data, Clear Cache in recovery mode... No permanent difference. Fast forward to last week: I had to hard reset my S3 for a different reason, and the keyboard now pops up instantaneously.

Not to be negative norman, but give it a week or so, I did a factory reset for this issue alone and it was perfect for a few days then started freezing, lagging, and the keyboard extends past the damn screen. Terrible. I am hoping 4.3 will fix this issue but I am not holding my breathe because there will be plenty more bugs I am sure.

I had similar keyboard lag on my new Moto X, which was driving me crazy, along with the triple tap zoom. So when I turned off the triple tap zoom (Settings>Accessibility>Magnification gestures set to off), my keyboard lag problem went away! Hopefully that's potentially helpful!

Firstly, thank you Jennifer, the instructions worked, i saw the (VERY)little blue message, let go of buttons, viola. =) it worked for me. So, that little trick wipes the cache for EVERY app, function, doo-dad & whatever, right?. . .... because I found this for the keyboard specifically:

go to Settings. ..>Application Manager ..>swipe over to ALL, select Samsung Keyboard > Clear data, cache. ...<-----i figured this out just before i tried your trick.

But i would agree that the stock keyboard is just in-general, laggy and weak. As is the stock function for "Clear Memory"; neither are as efficient as a decent free app would be for each function, would take up negligible space and oh yeah, FREE =)

I, too, had this very frustrating problem, which was exacerbated by the fact that my husband's GS3, bought the same day as & identical to mine, had no problems whatsoever. I also had the battery drain problem: from 100% to tapped out in about 4 hours, with no usage. We skipped the Sprint store & headed for the Samsung desk at Best Buy. Told the guy what was happening. He did an update to 4.3, which took about 30 minutes, and now it works great! Battery lasts all day & then some, phone doesn't heat up, & the keyboard glitch is gone.

If anyone is still following this post, I fixed this on my wife's phone (stock) by changing the default keyboard and changing it back. Worked like a charm!

Welcome to the forums.

I would suggest to reboot into recovery and wipe the phone's cache. To do so power off. Hold home volume up and power at the same time. release when you see the Samsung logo. You will then get a menu with highlighted bar. use the volume key to navigate down to wipe cache partition. Hit power. This may take about 15 to 30 seconds. When done, you will be brought back to the main menu, already highlighting reboot device. Hit power.


i stopped at a page where it says 'downloading'

i waited for 5 minutes but no change to whats on the screen
may i know what happened ? is my phone lagging?

I'm not sure that you can delete a reply (the Moderators can) but you can certainly go back and edit it.
