I don't know how else to explain it. I honestly think my screen calibration is off in some fashion with regards to keyboard input. I've tried changing the keyboards and I continue to miss letters left and right.
I figured with a larger screen that this would be much less of an issue but (not exaggerating) 50% of the time I go to key in a letter above the spacebar, it registers the space instead of the respective letter. I also have issues with hitting the return symbol when trying to backspace.
I hate to admit it but I never had anywhere close to these kinds of problems on iOS. I refuse to go back to that platform but I SMS way too much and this might be the factor that sends me back. Voice works pretty well but I much prefer to type.
Any suggestions?
Try swype.

Yeah I've tried Swype a bit and not really a fan. I type too many abbreviations and it still requires you to initially tap on the first letter which is where the problems I'm having occur.

Are you using the Samsung keyboard? If so I would download the gingerbread keyboard from the market and that should fix your problem. When I use the Samsung Keyboard for a lack of a better word I feel like a retard I can't spell or anything.

I also really like being able go tap a ? without having to press the alt key. I'm going to try the Gingerbread keyboard in the market, it worked great ln froyo.

I must have tested a dozen different keyboards not only with this new SGS2
phone but on my two previous phones (Captivate and Infuse) and I have
found that nothing is as good as the Samsung Keyboard unless someone
happens to be a wizkid or someone has fingers as thin as a pencil.
For average people there is nothing as good as the stock samsung keyboard.
One of the reasons for this is that the size of the letters on the samsung
keyboard are noticabley larger.
Another reason is that when you use those keyboards from the market
they all have a slight but noticable delay when pressing the keys.
I loaded gingerbread keyboard from the market. Yes, its basically the same as the android keyboard, but performance has been much better for me.

I had a galaxy's, and recently I bought a Atrix.
I noticed that Atrix has a touch screen less sensitive than galaxy.
I've downloaded from the market "sgs touchscreen booster", this is an app to manage the touchscreen galaxy.
I tried it on 'Atrix and it works fine for me.
Now I am satisfied with the touchscreen.
If anyone has the same problem, I advise him to try.

Same. I still, along with (I think) everyone, have the issue with multi-touch when you hold fingers down for a certain number of seconds and the screen equalizes it, forcing you to wait a few seconds and try it again. This really annoys me on games like Jet Car Stunts, when, for example, I hold the accelerate button but eventually I have to let go and press it again to keep the car accelerating.
yeah that apparently is a feature and done by design from what I read. the problem i had was worse in the sent that imagine the screen going nuts after 5 seconds of activity.
Is there any way to increase the multitouch number. This app says it can but it doesn't work I know this is for the galaxy but is there any other way?

I was getting so annoyed of this phone because when i tried to typed i couldnt type one work without making a huge mistake because the screen wasnt picking up everything i guess. if i typed hey fast it would just type "hy" or something. but when i did this and put the sensitivity up to 80% and left the rest on default it fixed it. now i can type fast without any mistakes and it seems as it fixed multitouch problems as well! This app is definitely recommended.
I've always thought the Atrix screen could do with a higher sensitivity, after using the iphone. It might be all in the mind, but this app does seem to help. It is particularly noticeable when typing, I no longer have any missed letters where I haven't pressed hard enough.
Thanks for sharing this app

You have to get it from their site. http://www.swype.com/
Hm... I prefer the bigger default kb. Is there a way to use swype with a different kb or do you have to use theirs?

Swype is a keyboard replacement, and once you have it installed, it will, as the word implies, replace your keyboard. So, yes, you have to use theirs.
I have been using Swype for over a year; while the first few days took some effort as I got used to it, I find the benefit for the time invested is well worth it. I can "type" out texts much faster than tapping on a tiny keyboard.
I love the mode, it's much better than typing with thumbs, just prefer using the built in trace with the built in kb since it's bigger and I can make the trace line red.
I'll have to see if it's annoying for me to have to turn on swype for browsers and market and also if it's annoying to switch kbs for that or if it's less annoying to just get used to the swype's kb and use it for everything.
When switching from my Nexus S to the Note the first thing I noticed is that quite a few of my typing entries are missed and I can't tell if this is because of a faulty device or my fingers being used to a more sensitive device, and therefore I need to learn to press harder. Has anyone else noticed a change in typing abilities? I'm using Swiftkey X, not for tablets.
When I'm typing I get regularly frustrated because I have to slow down, delete a word and fix whatever errors resulted.
I hope I'm not alone in my madness.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Pressing harder won't do anything with a capacitive screen. What keyboard are you using? If you are using the Samsung keyboard, that one has never been without some glitchiness for me. Try the android keyboard, or try one of the ics keyboards from the market. Those two are my favorites. Just experiment with various keyboards, because if you are using the Samsung keyboard I'm sure that's the problem.

Yeah, I hate that, as well as the lack of a hardware home button capable of waking the device. I also hate that I can't seem to record both sides of a phone call like I could on the international version. And also that wallpapers are not scrollable. I really like the white version, though, and the screen quality is a little better than my other one. LTE is nice, too. But I digress, this thread is supposed to be about hate.

Yes you can reassign it though you will have to be rooted for this to work. You can use root explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl. Before going into the file make sure you have read write selected. Then click on the file and open in text editor. Simply replace the word "search" with any of the 3 touchkeys name save the file and reboot. I believe rootexplorer automatically makes a backup of the old file though it's as simple as placing the words back to get back to "stock". This is very safe, Ive done it a hundred times on my Captivate, and it should not harm your device in anyway but I'm not responsible if you somehow screw up your device.

Hi everybody, TouchType Ltd. have decided to release their latest beta for the ever popular SwiftKey today for free
Seeing as the demand for the beta is hammering their servers, I decided to upload the .apk to my dropbox for everybody to enjoy. Just download and install like you would with any other app
Here's the file: http://db.tt/GHjXdQi7
FYI, this is a FREE, OPEN beta and therefore this is a FREE APP. I understand the rules of xda, and I do not condone or promote pirating in any way!

I like it, but think I still prefer Perfect Keyboard. It seems to me the new smart space feature in the Swiftkey is a little too agressive. I sometimes end up getting spaces where I didn't want them.
i guess i'm the only one who thought it's terrible? I tried it to see if its any better than AI Type that I've been using for over a year. I switched back.

Ha ha...I typically have the opposite problem with swiftkey products - try to add 2 spaces after a sentence and end up with a predicted word instead. I always have to turn off "space bar inserts predicted word" because of this, and it kinda hinders the usability of swiftkey.
Made it about 14 hours (8 of which I was sleeping) before going back to swype
