I've had the SGS II for about three weeks now and have continuous issues with keyboard input accuracy. From the Samsung and stock Android keyboard, to the ICS hacked version (and then the Market version) as well as Swiftkey X - I make mistake after mistake regardless of whichever one I'm using. I'm coming from a Captivate where the text input seemed a non-issue on any keyboard I used. It almost feels like the touch panel/digitizer isn't aligned with where my fingers are touching.
Does anyone else have issues with keyboard accuracy? I love this phone but this issue is really preventing me from enjoying the experience.
I'd highly recommend the ICS keyboard linked later in this thread. Much better than what I initially posted.
Swiftkey X works perfectly fine for me.
I'm using the ported ICS keyboard found on the market and it works very well. There have not been any problems for me at all.
Just installed it and I find myself making the same mistakes as any of the other ones. It's so weird...I've never had this problem on the Captivate and other phones in the past.

Happy camper here
I see a couple ICS keyboards on the Market, can ya provide a link? I'm always up for finding something new although as I mentioned already, I like SKP.
I am using go keyboard from the market with go launcher and I noticed the button( keys) are bigger. But honestly I don't have any issues with my keyboard calibration works fine. I sometimes not a wrong key but that is my fault and not a calibration issue. Possibly you can calibrate your screen? Never have done it but I think it can be done. Maybe a bad phone also?

I was able to eliminate this problem by loading the cognition rom. Im not sure exactly why it fixed it but i assume it because it is an international rom that was ported.
im using the swype beta 3.6 doesnt really need to be "accurate" since all you do is "swype" it. but it is fairly accurate for me if i have to type with it.
I'm using the swype keyboard on mine Galaxy S2, I am a new convert from the iPhone and can barely type on this thing. Thank God for swipe. It appears to me that i have to hit the upper portion of the key to make an accurate key press. If I hit it dead on I get the key below it, strange.

ICS keyboard form the market is awesome, fast and extremely accurate. I havent had any more keyboard problems.
I use the newest update of Swype and its definitely not as smooth and accurate as it was on my cappy. I'm On my second sgs2, and have had accuracy issues on both. It's not horrible, just not as good as my cappy. It's the only thing that was better on my cappy compared to this phone, so I'll deal with it.

Yes.. flashing a rom and having no earthly idea why it just magically fixed is quite a solution! Let me jjust drop everything I'm doing, lose all of my time and effort of making my current rom the way i want it so I can flash the rom you are assuming fixed it without any facts or reasoning so I can make you happy.
Goodnight.
Goodnight!!!

Yes, it seems like you have to hit the letter you want about 2mm high. At first I thought it was because I was converting over from the iPhone, but two months later I still had problems. I have kind of retrained to hit the buttons on the upper half. I am going to try the ICS keyboard.
And a goodnight too.
Hey guys!
I have a small favor to ask, and I figure this is probably the best place. I was wondering if anyone with the Note could open up a quick text message with Swype on and try something for me.
When the keyboard pops up, take your index finger and swipe back and forth very quickly on the letters. You don't have to type anything specific, just go back and forth fast.
Could you let me know which of the two scenarios occur?
1) Nothing happens until you finally stop swiping and when you do, you get one long word and/or a message saying that it wasn't recognized; or,
2) You get a bunch of small words that are being entered WHILE you're going back and forth.
One of these two have to result, and I found some inconsistencies with the touch screen today.
Thanks <33
Both occur depending on speed when I go at the speed I would have used on my Captivate it breaks it up into little words (used swype for almost two years so quickly) but when I slow down it works normally. I found this issue out when I first got my phone and sadly had to switch from swype as I cant swype near "full speed".

Ok, so I'm assuming that you're saying your Note is affected by this as well?
I ask because I was in the vicinity of a few other Notes today. The issue was confirmed on 2 out of the 5 devices. You could not force the Swype to break on the other 3 no matter how insanely fast you swiped. I have a feeling the issue is a little more wide-spread that I had originally thought. Swype is literally unusable for me in this state, I can't swipe nearly as fast as I'm used to, and it causes me to actually type way slower than I'm used to because of it. I have a replacement on the way, but I wanted to dig a little into the problem in the meantime.
Edit:
I wanted to add, it doesn't matter which rom I'm on, which version of Android, or which version of Swype. I've tried it all.
I don't have any issues on mine. I do use the s pen tho. Pretty damn fast too. Quick question though, do you usually Swype back and forth whilst typing etc.

Swiping back and forth is just a surefire way to reproduce the problem. For someone that swipes fast, it makes the problem a real issue. A friend of mine on an unaffected Note tried using mine to swype and he instantly recognized that he wasn't able to.

Yes it also affects my note making it impossible to use swype. I figured this is true for all notes. And same doesn't matter it simply doesn't work though it may be my screen protector do you have one?

I'm on DAGr8's A2 and I'm using Swype version 3.26.92D.38303.t0.8611.ENSP from the International Note forum.
Edit: I have had the short word issue in the past on GB on the Note. I hadn't tried it on ICS yet. Just out of curiosity, and only because I just did this, what happens if you boot into CWM and format cache (not dalvik). It's the option under mounts and storage -> format cache. I did it just before this because of the CWM log errors on ICS.

Sounds like you have a good Note.
I've formatted the cache partition about 40 times since I've had the Note. My problem persists through all of that. It was an issue with the stock GB, and DAG's ROM, and the ICS roms that I'm testing now. They are all the same.
I am envious of you. Hopefully my new one will work right.
Other tweaks I've made since upgrading to ICS has been to reduce my animation transitions to .5x (from 1x) and reduce VM heap from 256 to 128.
Just trying to think of any little thing that might help for some reason.
Edit: also have 2D rendering forced on in developer settings.

Mine will not enter words until I finish no matter how fast I go. I've never had issues with my swype. I use the s.pen and a glas.t protector. Using the swype version from the international forums. On saurom r6. haven't changed any swype settings.

Edit: interesting. just tried the same using my finger instead. get short words a lot. sometimes none, but often it starts breaking it up. So I think someone else reported this same finding so it must lie somewhere within that. To me though I hate using swype with my finger. Unless I just washed my hands there's way too much drag to swype quickly. With the s.pen I can go twice as fast and oddly enough this issue does not appear.

Yep, that's the issue. I dislike using the s-pen for Swype, but that's totally a preference thing. I can go as fast as I need to with my finger, most of the time.
There is a variable here somewhere. You are inflicted with the same issue with your finger that a couple of us have, where I've personally tested this on two Notes where I could confirm it wasn't a problem. I hate to just think it's some flaw in the touch screens, but I don't know what else to try.
Can you upload your build.prop? I want to compare it to mine.

I'll have to flash up again later. I'm currently testing an unannounced and unreleased ROM so I have to be careful which heavily modified files go out.
Are you on GB or ICS? I'll go stock later, confirm that the problem is still there, then I'll upload it.
I'm on ICS.
And I'm curious what you're testing...
I can't seem to find a good keyboard for the razr. I have used swift key for a while on my other HTC built phones, but this is my first Motorola phone and the keyboard just can't keep up with me. I have tried every 3rd party keyboard and none of the can keep up with me on the razr but can perfectly fine on the other phones that I have. Im starting to think its the software problem. The stock keyboard keeps up better than any other keyboard but it still can't keep up. When I had an iPhone no matter how fast I typed it kept up (no Im Not a fanboy)
Is there a hack of mod that I can flash to make the keyboard/screen more responsive?
Thanks

I use this one and it's my current favorite -- BUT it has a bug on the RAZR (running stock GB) where I often get the first letter of a word doubled after I go back to correct another mistake. Works really well otherwise -- accurate and super fast.
Example: "Where ate you" and I backspace to change "ate" to "are" and then when I go to type you again I get yyou, It's a bug because the first y isn't underlined and the auto correct only affects the part I actually typed. Very occasionally I get double letters like "yoyou" when you is all I typed. Doesn't happen too often.....
Do you have this issue with it?
Does FC from time to time.... but that just seems to be an issue on the phone itself.
biggest pile of nonsense thread ever
standard keyboards , swype all work tits perfect
and HTC imod keyboard
some people are just useless and they blame the hardware lol
I installed it today, so my experience not really great. But i got zero buggs till now.
I have tried all of those keyboards and yes thumb keyboard is the fastest by far, but it has that really annoying bug for me too, and it still doesnt keep up. I love swiftkey but I only have problems with it keeping up with me on this phone.
Edit:
Apparently Thumb Keyboard hasn't updated his app in the amazon app store in a while. I got it on one of the days that it was free. I just got it for $2.50 on the play store, and switched to the ics theme, and it works amazingly!
Thanks guys
personally I love the stock keyboard that is loaded by default, great coloring, love the predictive words to chose from and its just the right size for my fingers in landscape mode and I have yet to be able to type faster then it can recognize (didn't even know that was possible). If you can out type the buffer you spend WAY to much time on your phone texting.

Per this post I spend way too much time texting, as I can out-type most keyboards. Last night, based on this thread I tried out Thumb KB, and I'm loving it. The dev actually has a 24hr refund policy, which gave me the confidence to try it for two bucks or whatever.
The split portrait KB is a trip.

I am currently using SwiftKey (paid version), and must agree that at times it did have a bit of trouble keeping up.
I ended up fiddling around in setCPU in order to make it feel a bit snappier, and surprisingly it worked! Jury is still out on whether it is a placebo effect or not though.
I've also blocked it from accessing networks using DroidWall (amazing app, everyone should have it), mostly for privacy reasons, but perhaps it also might have an effect.
If you have root, I would recommend playing with the CPU settings and see if it helps. No point abandoning a keyboard you like if there is a potential fix.

Maybe its just me, and I am aware of most of the situations where texting is needed (school, work, church and things like that), but given the choice i would rather spend 30 seconds on a phone call then 5 minutes texting back and forth.
If you don't mind my asking how many texts would you say you send in a day?
I will say the stock keyboard and screen size has me typing faster on a touchscreen then I've ever managed before (2-Archos 5's, an EnV touch and a SGS player 4.0 over the last 5 years) but nowhere near your speed clearly.

Looking back at my logs it seems I send 200-300 texts in a day. When I say that it looks excessive; however most of these are ongoing conversations with friends or family. These are usually times when a phone call is not really warranted, and some people (like my wife with our kids) are really busy and can't always take a phone call.
I agree the razr keyboard and screen are great - I type almost as fast as I used to on my blackberrys.

I think this is the most efficient way to type if you're a tap-to-type person. The word prediction is constantly improving upon more use. The new thing is beta is that you don't need to type "Space" between words which speeds things up nicely.
SwiftKey could certainly use more/better themes, but I keep coming back to it as my daily driver as it's the most reliable (not the quickest though)
Swype would get more use from me if they'd enable the ability to increase the key height. I find it way too short to comfortably type and swipe on the Rezound (it's significantly shorter than SwiftKey, and most other keyboards out there have at least some sort of custom portrait height options...)
I wish they would make a red theme.

and landscape typing? FORGET ABOUT IT. it lags behind like 15 seconds! it's like i'm typing on my god damn Eris. 3 blows compared to X.

I love swiftkey 3. I was using it more than any other keyboard for the longest time but the cursor always going bananas when I tried to move it or use the arrow keys made me start using the htc keyboard, and then ultimately the ics keyboard. They are both red themed.. something I wish swiftkey 3 had. I just installed it to my rezound though. Hopefully they fixed the tweaker cursor bug.

Swiftkey for the win. I picked up a DNA last night, and to be honest only used the stock keyboard long enough to get my back restored. No issues with Swiftkey on it.
I'll chime in here with Swiftkey also. I have been using that since release and never looked back. So far I am enjoying swiftkey flow even though I was never a swype fan. Flow's word predictions are excellent.
I've been using Swype since it came out and it was one of the first things I installed on my DNA, No problems here at all.
using swiftkey flow/swiftkey, no issues since day 1. you should make sure your not pressing the screen with another part of your hand/fingers as the screen goes right to the edge of the phone, sometimes i find when im watching a video the side of my finger might touch the screen and pause it. You might not be used to a phone with such a small bezel.
Just got my DNA, and I have no trouble typing at all.
you know what? for the last two years, ive swore by the GB/ICS/JB keyboards as they were nice looking and very accurate. To me they suck on this phone, maybe its me, maybe its the screen size, idk, but I will say this, I used swiftkey before and wasnt really a fan,
BUT
i just put it on my DNA and it has solved my woes! Thanks for the input guys.
Silly question, but have you done the touchscreen calibration? Settings -> Language & keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced -> Calibration Tool.
Not a single issue for me. Especially coming from a GS3. I can type rather fast on this keyboard lol
