Weird typing issue

[chevota84]

When i type it seems to stutter, it'll just stop inputing letters for a while then just throw them out all at once. Does anybody know what might cause this? Im running apex blurry but this started long after i flashed the rom. Thanks

Sounds like something is working in the background while you are typing... maybe a widget updating or check the Note under my sig below. Also, review your apps and see if there's one that might be the offender.

I think I had this happen before when an e-mail was coming in or something while I was typing. I'd do a reboot just to refresh everything and increase speed.

I reboot every day just out of habit (ex blackberry user) but it never seems to change. I've frozen some background apps but the issue remains. Its pretty consistent, its done it twice while typing this reply.

With Android, you can't freeze background apps and you shouldn't even try. It's not like the BB system where you have to make sure your apps are closed or risk battery drain. This may be your problem.

Are you running Task Killer? Get rid of it asap! It's bad news for Android systems. The X - and other Androids - are designed to keep apps running for a while after you are done using them. Then they are closed automatically. This is done to conserve battery power that would be used to re-open apps. Task Killer is a killer for the X. TK closes an app prematurely and the X re-opens it in the background. There are lots of threads in the forums about the negative aspects of Task Killer and the counter-productive results of closing apps yourself. Not needed.

I have titanium backup. I was just freezing a couple at a time to see if it made any difference in the typing.

 

[Arelunde]

So, you are rooted Makes a difference. I can't speak to that.

What are you freezing? You may be freezing apps that need to be open in order for others to work properly.

Just non-original apps except blockbuster which i froze right off 6 months ago. I would freeze one or two and check to see if it made a difference and then un-freeze them.

WOW, this is happening to me too! I was going to start a new thread on this subject. It's very annoying. It happens 80 percent of the time. If it is something in the background how in the world will I know? Way too many apps installed.

How will I know which one is the offender? I have way to many apps installed.

I experience this and I can say it is a pain because on Froyo this issue doesn't exist, one thing I found that helps is to goto Settings/Language and Keyboard/Multitouch Keyboard/Vibrate on Keypress.... Unchecked this usely smooth this issue out for me...
