Insane Keyboard Lag

[wolf1989#AC]

I've had this problem with every ROM I've tried to put on my phone. The keyboard lags so much that the spell check can't keep up with it making it pretty much useless. Since I've had this problem with every ROM except the stock 1.5 I'm wondering if it's something that I'm doing.

Sorry this was supposed to be in the ROMs/hacks section.

mine lags to the point where my whole message may be sent in caps.

Which ROMs have you used. I've had less lag with the stock HTC keyboard over the hacked one (as seen on DamageROMs). Haptic feedback also seems to be a culprit as well. I would give swype a whirl, may make you shocked at how easy it is to use and no lag/haptic feedback.

swype is available for the hero?

 

[Andrew Ruffolo]

yup, you can find the beta .apks around the interwebz. Worked nicely

I've used the sprint leaks, kool aid, damage control. I've generally kept haptic off even though I like it. I tried swype when the beta first came out. Made me want to hurl my phone into the pool. I'm kind of at a lose at this point.

the swype trial that worked on the hero has expired, and I've yet to find a working version.

Have you been doing a hard reset after each firmware swap? "Insane" lag sounds like an app struggling with 'corrupt' (or mismatched) configuration settings and finally just timing-out.

Mine lags occasionally now that im on 2.1 compared to 1.5 where it lagged frequently.

The stock keyboard runs smooth, but I run better keyboard and it slows down sometimes. Just kill some tasks...
