I've read earlier posts that had the same problem I do, but most of them were old (and hopefully the problem has been fixed now)
Swype makes the messaging lag because the client has to load a certain amount of messages before you can start. is there a way to either fix this, OR make the client not load as many messages?
i experienced the same problem so had to ditch swpye a few months back, great substitute for typing making fewer mistakes savng time so if anyone does have a solution please let us know
nope, apart from regularly deleting your texts theres no way round it....
swype has its own issues with lag though whether its htc messaging or winmo messaging... even right now ads I try and type this reply swype is making me want to smash my face into the phone and scream "why wont you type? why wont you ducking type!!"
Go to settings tab, then More.
then go to 'Personal', and go to 'Input'.
When your input methode is Swype, tap on the button Options.
In the options scroll a bit down, and look for the part called 'Operation'.
Slide the slider of Speed vs Accuracy completely to the left (fast response).
Then tap ok, and it should work better.
Let me know if it worked for you, because they told me here on XDA it can possibly work, but I dont have received enough text messages yet to test it.

Nah, that's how I always keep mine, using it any either way drives my crazy-er! thanks for trying though.
What do you mean, it works exacly the same
had same problem for a long time , only affects swype
On the hd2 their are temp files the msging app uses i noticed its bassicly a giant debug log. When I saw mine after only having my phone for 2 months it was about a gig or so...I highly suggest deleting that. I am not sure if the HD2 opens that or its just an appendage type thing.
the best "solution" I've discovered is just turning off threaded messages. it's kind of frustrating, but there is no lag now...
I've found that custom keyboards are laggy for me too. The best solution that I have found is to simply make my phone faster. when I overclock or install a custom kernel on my phone, it usually decreases the lag caused by custom keyboards.

Good point, but it does not work everywhere. If you open a message from the sense preview it always starts the threaded view even if it is disabled in the inbox. Do you know a way how to disable threaded view there too?

Yes, you're right, and no, I don't. I just have to go through all the shenanigans of clicking everything. To me, it's worth it to use swype, and it's still faster and less tedious in my opinion, than waiting for messages to load.
Now I am using the ShapeWriter beta. It does not lag like Swype, however I really miss the vibration and a few other things. like swyping smileys.
For me, the lag only occurs when I use the newer version, 3.9.
If I use the older version of Swype I get no lag. Don't know what the version is but I attached a screen shot of it.

Hi there
I have a lil question.
Since a few days I use Swype (Version 3.9.10.10.5032 Blackbird)
It's a great way to type very fast, and I love it!
There is only one problem, when I want to write a SMS, then I can use Swype, but my text doesn't appear in the screen yet, but it comes a few seconds later.
In my opinion, the cause is that it have to load in all the textmessages I had with the person I want to write to.
Because when I removed all the messages, then I can write without any problems, but when there are already some textmessages above, then the problem appears.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Do I need a different version of Swype?
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon

Thanks for you reply
I made the changes to my settings as you said.
This solves the problem? have you experienced that by yourself too?
and what does the 'Operations' slider actually do?
I cannot test if it works right now, because I need to get some more text messages again, because I removed them all yesterday because of this problem.
This will make the Swype response time faster.Honestly I myself dont have any lag problem despite having many SMS loaded.
Im using the original Swype Samsung Omnia II V.2 and I am happy with it, been using it all the time, however there are many who think that the interface is not so nice.

The interface of Swype? I like that one a lot!
Anyways, my text messages count will increase slowely coming days, so maybe then I can see if the setting helped me.

Thats the thing, v2.0 is fast but the newer v3.9 (which is really built for our phones as it comes from the US HD2) is slower. In theory you would assume this be faster. Besides looking much better with newer features like haptic feedback, multiple deleting capability etc, it simply has a long lag when many SMS's are present.
If you reply via traditional mode its a workaround as it doesnt load all the SMS's however its not a true fix.
Like youself, i couldnt stand the lag anymore, reverted back to v2.0 and its much faster. If i could be bothered there are skins out there like Lessro's and Baly's which make it appear alot better if you like.

Ok thanks!
If 3.9 doesnt work as I want, then I will give 2.0 a try.
First I need some more text messages again
Ok first of all, hi ! Yes im the latest annoying newbie but I will try to keep my annoying questions to as few posts as possible.
Ok so the Galaxy S 2. My dear god I love this phone but sweet Jesus its driving me crazy ! It seems that to use a smartphone today you need to be a member of forums such as these or a degree in techstuffthatjustsoundslikenonsensetome.
For the life of me I cant believe modern smartphones do not come with a manual. I remember my old nokias of a decade ago came with small books to guide you through what was basically calling and texting ! These days...nothing and the manual from Samsung is hardly any better than the 'leaflet' that comes in the box. Anyway rant over but after exploring for days and searching on tinternet for answers I still cant solve a few issues I have with this phone so please any help would be a god send.
1. Vibration level. Is it me or is it crap ? My old 3g ( goodbye forever Apple ) could practically take me across a linoleum floor if i sat down but i just dont feel it when its in my pocket. I have it up to max but have missed every call so far !
2. Sms notifications. I have installed Go sms pro which is a great little app and i prefer it over the stock sms. However i cant stop getting sms through from the stock app as well as go sms pro ! I have uncked all available boxes in settings for the stock one but still getting them through, its driving me nuts. How can i receive texts only through go sms pro ?
3. Contact photos. Just cant sync them with facebook at all. when i try all i get is two each of the same people in my contact list, one for fb and other with phone details etc. All i want is a bleeding picture next to my contacts Am I missing something very simple or is this a good example of companies alienating the average consumer with 'harder than it needs to be' technology ?
And lastly
4. Web page autofit. So if I double tap on text it should autofit right? Well all it does is zoom in. I have tried all different settings, double tapping at different speeds etc and it works about a third of the time so I just dont know what im doing differently those times ! Do you have to tap on a specific part of the screen to auto fit or what ?
Anyway I hope your not all lighting your torches by now, I have looked for the answers ( and looked, and looked ) but to no avail and tried the suggestions from similiar questions on here but alas my love / hate relationship with this phone continues.
For many of your questions, a good old fashioned search would have turned up quite a few answers.

Thank you for your reply. With respect, as mentioned in my op I have searched for the issues raised and read the thread you linked to however my problems persist.
Does anyone else see the vibration level as an issue ? It does seem very low to me.
Yes, the vibration issue is a big problem for me too. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS and before that I used a Nokia E71. Both of those phones' vibration would wipe the floor with SGS 2.
When I first got it, I kept searching in the menu for a setting, but there was only one for haptic feedback strength, not notification vibration.
I'm just hoping a future firmware update will fix this or a code will be revealed where we can set vibration strength.

wait so text reflow DOES work for you sometimes when you pinch to zoom, then double tap that text and it fits the screen? cause most are saying it's not working on the SGS2. but i tested the samsung infuse last night, and it does in fact work like normal. so is everyone here not performing it correctly?
what i did on infuse, load a webpage, it loads zoomed out. i pinch to zoom to a desired level, then release. text goes off the screen edge. then double tap the text i zoomed to, and it re-formats to fit the screen.
we assumed this does not work on teh SGS2.
Feeling your pain, dare I say starting to think I wish I bought a htc sensation.
Come on, the facebook issue is a joke. I dont want multiple contacts of the same contact, ok ive merged them now, and hidden other fb contacts. That is until I want to send a txt, whoa they are all there again.
Sign out of fb, merged contacts disappear.
I just took this stuff for granted on my aging htc topaz.
Can't get any 3rd party launcher to display photo wallpaper properly.
Reader hub, sns etc, what a load of...
Page rendering/text reflow, taken for granted.
Hotmail, can't sync junk folder unless using exchange, which only downloads first part of email, click to load more.
Could go on.

Thank s for the replies, at least im not being a noob when it comes to these issues. its actually a relief ti know its software bugs and not me !
As for the double tap method i can confirm it DOES sometimes work to autofit the text. that is why i was getting frustrated when most times it does not work. i thought i was tapping a different part of the screen or some thing. i double tap in and out about six or seven times and then it will suddenly autofit.
im really hoping they sort the message notification bug out. as for Facebook i spent an hour earlier saving pics from fb, tra nsferring them ti my ohone and then adding my contacts pics one by one. pain in the arse but its done now.
typing this on my s2 has reminded me of another annoyance. the bloody full stop being so close to the space key i always have about 6 full stops in every sentence.

Better keyboard. Just get it. Or multi-lingual keyboard. Either will solve that problem
not sure why someone mentioned the "double SMS notifications" is a bug because it clearly IS NOT
you just have to go into the STOCK MESSAGING app, go to settings and UNCHECK "Notifications" (its at the very bottom of the settings)
I have Go SMS pro installed as well and only get ONE notification from SMS pro when i get a SMS - none from the stock messaging.
If the notification box is checked in the STOCK messaging app then you will get a notifcation from both the stock app and goSMSpro
I think it was very difficult to fit a bigger vibration motor in a smart-phone so thin like SGS2.
I guess we will have to live with it as is.

I've had similar issues, but seemed to only occur when using a new input method or on reboot. I use swype and once I switched to the Evo swype apk, the problem stopped. Probably doesn't help your case, but I know you're not alone.
I know this may not really fix your problem but really just provide an alternative solution, you could use Swype. Swype is much faster (in my opinion), and you still have the option to type normally with it. You would have to download the beta from Swype's Website, it doesn't take too long to register for the beta.
I have had this problem too in the past. I'm just curious, do you use handcent? The only time I've really seen this happen for me is in handcent's popup windows, but I have no idea why it happens, and honestly, it doesn't happen often enough for me to want to try to figure it out. But I feel your pain, when it does happen, it's quite annoying :/
Happens to me all the time... I use Smart Keyboard Pro.
See my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132927

Ya i had major problems with this on the stock keyboard. I also had just general problems with lag sometimes in the stock messenger app, as well as receiving duplicates of text messages. I formatted the cache partition in cwr and used the gingerbread keyboard in the market and have since have had zero problems (so far lol).
Same Here!
I'm having similar issues. When I "wake" my TB up and try to go in to type a text message, email or any other thing that uses the keyboard, the keyboard shows up and allows me to type, but nothing shows up on the screen.
I've tried using the GB keyboard from the Market (which I REALLY like), but no matter what I try, I seem to have a problem. I thought it might be WidgetLocker interacting badly, but uninstalling that doesn't work. I thought it might be because I was using Go SMS Pro, but uninstalling that didn't work either. I went back to using the stock keyboard (which I really DON'T like), but to no avail. The only thing that DOES seem to work is to reboot the phone.
This is getting a little ridiculous! I don't want to have to reboot this phone every time the keyboard decides it doesn't want to work! Anyone have any advice?
Just FYI, I'm not rooted. I haven't gotten that far yet. The only thing I've done that isn't stock is to run Go Launcher as opposed to Sense. And this issue was happening when I was running Sense as well.
New to this forum and seeking some help(obviously)
Had this phone for about 3 weeks now and I love it. I just have one problem with it.
In the stock messaging app, Kik, and a couple of other apps, my keyboard will occasionally freeze. Android keyboard, LG keyboard, Swype... They all do it.
But I can still type on it, it just won't show me a "live-shot" of what I'm typing. When I press the back button(hides keyboard), all the text that I typed would show up. For example, if I type/swype "I like cake", it won't show anything in the text field until I hide/exit out of the keyboard. Then it all the text shows up at once.
I've tried everything I know of. I've done a factory reset on the phone, I've disabled keyboards, I've uninstalled apps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! This isn't a huge pain because a restart temporarily fixes it, and this phone only takes like 45 seconds to reboot. It's just annoying since it happens several times a day.

Never happened to me....Are you stock, rooted, unlocked....if so what ROM/kernel are you running. It helps when you post as much information as possible so we might be able to determine if its something we can help with.

this is strange I have had no issues regarding this whether I was stock or otherwise. If you got it from best buy take it back and get another, I have gone through 3 LGOG until I found one that didnt have strange issues. But I also got mine early. Maybe some of the senior members have had this issue. Good Luck
Thanks for the replies. I'm not rooted and I've installed all the updates they've sent out so far. I've looked online and I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem...
I got it from AT&T(They matched Best Buy's price for me!) and I have to go there in about a week to get a credit on my bill, so I'll just ask them to try to figure out what's going on.

I fixed it. Apparently one of the few apps that I did not uninstall was causing the problem. Tesla LED(Flashlight app) was causing the keyboard to freeze. I have no idea why... That app has nothing to do with the keyboard. But I uninstalled it, installed another flashlight app and haven't had a problem since Tuesday night.

Ya, so I havent downloaded any flashlight app, yet fairly frequently, in messaging, web browsing, and the like, my keyboard stops displaying input (sometimes even gestures in web browsing, such as swiping to move around the screen freeze too). The words and other things i change, such as where in a web page it is focused does take effect after hitting the menu key on the phone. Typing also seems to work regularly in landscape, but im not used to turning it every time i type and id rather not get used to it. It happens with the Android keyboard as well as the LG one, and might be related to the similiar freezing the google voice and swype brought, but im fairly positive i completely uninstalled those, so idk...

Hey guys I just notice this as well fresh from the att store, although I've only seen it only once. So I'm 100% sure it's not due to rooting/bootloader unlocked. My suspicion is some sort of memory leak in the LG keyboard service (it's loaded as well even though you're using android OS). I clear both keyboard data and reboot, never happened anymore since then.

What exactly do you mean?
I'm on T-mobile and got an HTC One a couple weeks ago. It is running android version 4.1.2 with HTC Sense version 5.0.
Everything is great except for an inexplicable problem I have when typing on the keyboard (HTC Sense input). No swype, just typing.
Normally, if you type a word that isn't in the dictionary, it displays the word you actually typed on the "word bar" that pops up. It shows up on the leftmost side. If you tap the word, it will be added to the dictionary. To the right of that word is the word it thinks you meant to type. If you just press space, it will auto correct to that suggested word. So far so good, this all makes sense.
Now, I have an extremely annoying problem. Say I want to type the word "jellybean." I am very careful to press each letter exactly, and can see the letters that pop up above the individual keyboard letters as I am typing. All correct. However, rather than showing that I typed "jellybean" it shows "helkybean." It does this kind of thing with almost every word. Another example, I'll type "morning." The word that shows up is "nirbibg." This appears on the leftmost side of the suggested word bar, implying that this is what I actually typed, and just to the right of that (first suggested word) it shows "morning." In other words, the phone seems to think I typed "nirbibg" when I meant to type morning.
I am totally baffled as to why this happens. Even if the calibration is off, I am clearly pressing the right keys! The correct letters are shown in the little popup as I'm typing. Why, oh why in the world would this be happening?
Here are some more examples, first showing what I'm actually typing and what the phone seems to think I am typing. I am being very careful to push each letter exactly:
Hello, how are you doing?
Hekki, hiw are yoy diibg?
This keyboard is really frustrating me.
Tgis jeyboard us reakky frustratubg ne.
This makes absolutely no sense at all.
Tgus najds absikuteky no sebse at akk.
Clearly this is a practical joke of some kind.
Ckearkg this is oractucak jije if sine kind.
Riding the Saturn 5 rocket must have been quite an experience.
Ridibg tge Saturb 5 ricjet nust have beeb quute an exoeruebce.
Also, I will type a word like "of," pressing each letter correctly, watching the pop-up confirmations show the correct letters, and still it types "if."
I have bilingual prediction off, and the keyboard language is English. Swype is off, though it didn't seem to make any difference whether it was on or off. My dictionary contains the usual naughty words that everyone must add at some point, with no such gibberish. If I just type normally, the gibberish word auto corrects to the right word when I press space, but I'd like to know why it even shows up in the first place when I clearly typed the correct letters!
I am sure this is a simple fix but I am just totally baffled as to why this happens. Any ideas? For what it's worth, this only seems to happen when I type in landscape mode.
Did you try re-calibrating the keyboard? (Settings>Language and keyboard>HTC Sense Input>Advanced>Calibration tool) Even if you don't think it's the problem, it's worth a shot - it only takes a minute, and it does noticeably improve the accuracy, at least to me. I just tried a bunch of random sentences and I was able to type all of them properly on the first try.
Yep, I did. First I reset the calibration, same thing. Then I re-calibrated. Same thing.
When I am typing in portrait mode it seems to be fine. No such problems. Only in landscape mode does this happen, but the calibration appears to only work in portrait mode. If there's a way to do a landscape calibration, I haven't found it.
Make sure every thing is set to English US. Even under post spellling settings.

I also notice know this seems to only happen in the Facebook app...when I use Gmail or SMS, everything is fine. Hm...
That is not such a huge problem then, but I still don't understand why the behavior would change in a different app. I assumed the keyboard interface was low-level enough that the apps would not affect how it works. Weird...

I don't have a fix, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone. When I try typing "autocorrect" in the Facebook app (no other app does this) I get "auticirrect".
But get this. It only happens when I hold the phone horizontally. Vertically, it types fine.
It does other odd things too, like the word suggestion bar will freeze, even though I can still type. While signing up for this account, it did it again and the Sense keyboard crashed and sent an error report. Hopefully a fix is coming.
This may be stating the obvious, but if this problem continues, there are lots of keyboards available you can try that won't have this problem. I'm pleasantly surprised by the stock Sense keyboard, but there are others that I like more.
Not Isolated
As far as I can tell this isn't an isolated incident, as I'm able to replicate the incident as well.
To replicate:
1. Open the facebook app on a stock HTC One
2. Hit the write status button
3. flip the phone to horizontal position.
4. type an "o".
5. type another letter. watch as the "o" changes to an "i".

I'm on T-mobile and got an HTC One a couple weeks ago. It is running android version 4.1.2 with HTC Sense version 5.0.
Everything is great except for an inexplicable problem I have when typing on the keyboard (HTC Sense input). No swype, just typing.
Normally, if you type a word that isn't in the dictionary, it displays the word you actually typed on the "word bar" that pops up. It shows up on the leftmost side. If you tap the word, it will be added to the dictionary. To the right of that word is the word it thinks you meant to type. If you just press space, it will auto correct to that suggested word. So far so good, this all makes sense.
Now, I have an extremely annoying problem. Say I want to type the word "jellybean." I am very careful to press each letter exactly, and can see the letters that pop up above the individual keyboard letters as I am typing. All correct. However, rather than showing that I typed "jellybean" it shows "helkybean." It does this kind of thing with almost every word. Another example, I'll type "morning." The word that shows up is "nirbibg." This appears on the leftmost side of the suggested word bar, implying that this is what I actually typed, and just to the right of that (first suggested word) it shows "morning." In other words, the phone seems to think I typed "nirbibg" when I meant to type morning.
I am totally baffled as to why this happens. Even if the calibration is off, I am clearly pressing the right keys! The correct letters are shown in the little popup as I'm typing. Why, oh why in the world would this be happening?
Here are some more examples, first showing what I'm actually typing and what the phone seems to think I am typing. I am being very careful to push each letter exactly:
Hello, how are you doing?
Hekki, hiw are yoy diibg?
This keyboard is really frustrating me.
Tgis jeyboard us reakky frustratubg ne.
This makes absolutely no sense at all.
Tgus najds absikuteky no sebse at akk.
Clearly this is a practical joke of some kind.
Ckearkg this is oractucak jije if sine kind.
Riding the Saturn 5 rocket must have been quite an experience.
Ridibg tge Saturb 5 ricjet nust have beeb quute an exoeruebce.
Also, I will type a word like "of," pressing each letter correctly, watching the pop-up confirmations show the correct letters, and still it types "if."
I have bilingual prediction off, and the keyboard language is English. Swype is off, though it didn't seem to make any difference whether it was on or off. My dictionary contains the usual naughty words that everyone must add at some point, with no such gibberish. If I just type normally, the gibberish word auto corrects to the right word when I press space, but I'd like to know why it even shows up in the first place when I clearly typed the correct letters!
I am sure this is a simple fix but I am just totally baffled as to why this happens. Any ideas? For what it's worth, this only seems to happen when I type in landscape mode.

Ok I had this problem to, I looked online for help and I found none, so this is what I did. I went to my settings then apps, then all apps and when down to HTC sense input. I disabled the HTC sense input, then I cleared the memory. I turned it back on after that and it worked! Try it out and let me know how it turns out
Facebook is the culprit, but may not be the only one

This worked for me, although it probably destroyed my personal dictionary as well. I'm still curious to know why it stored this specific data (that several people seem to share--I had the "auticirrect" problem as well) but seemingly only for facebook. Either it's a problem specifically with facebook, or facebook was using a different set of algos and files to autocorrect text input within the HTC keyboard's history. My suspicion is that this could happen with other apps as well if it could happen with Facebook, but I haven't run into any.
I don't know enough about the Android FS and what lengths apps are allowed to go to on unrooted devices, but I'd be interested to hear input from anyone that does.
I noticed when this happens to me , the language got changed. Just remove all languages except for English and you'll be fine.
It's mainly profanity that I have to make this damn thing learn.

Thank you! I got my One last week and this problem has been a PITA. Multiple google searches turned up nothing on it too. Don't know why I didn't think to check xda to begin with.
Same problem
I've had the exact same issue. cant for the life of me figure out the cause but interesting realization
The letters it replaces are the ones to the Left of the button, and only on the right side of the qwerty keyboard
For example, UIOP seems to replace letters with U < I < O < P. Im also getting J < K < L and B < N < M :/
Will try the fix suggested now but this is such a strange behavioral glitch...
Happening with my HTC one too. Sense my ass lol it's making no sense. I think what causes it is the stupid menu bar on the right which occupies exactly one key column worth of space. I don't use facebook so I don't know if that app has the soft menu bar on the right/bottom of the screen. The keyboard is offset visually but the autocorrect algorithm seems to assume the keyboard is laid out across the entire screen (ie even using the space occupied by the menu bar). Anyone care to check?
For what it's worth this problem should fix itself once we get the 4.2/4.3 update, when we can remap the menu bar to long pressing the home key.
