Evo lte and fast typing - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Anyone notice that the HTC evo lte can't keep up with fast typing? For example when you type real fast the words get all jumbled and the vibration feedback stutters. Never had this problem on og evo.

+1 I type like the wind

I had the same problem... I switched back to SwiftKey and the problem was solved!

Try a different keyboard maybe? Swiftkey is the absolute best available, and I would recommend it even to someone who wasn't having any issues.

Haven't had this issue, it might be your keyboard. Had the issue with the sensation and stock ICS keyboard.

The only time I ever experienced that was when I had the sound/clicks turned on. But even then it wasn't often. Since turned off and NO LAG HERE!

I have used a few different keyboards, but with all sounds, vibration, dictionaries and corrections disabled and don't have any problem on any normal things. Ie most apps.
But, typing into most web forms IS very slow and buggy, with any keyboard and with at least both the stock and dolphin hd browsers. One particularly annoying bug is that once you've typed a line or so, and try to position the cursor back in the middle to make an edit, the spot where text will be erased or added is nowhere near where the cursor is. And it's very slow & laggy. That's most blogs and article comment things.
Typing this into xda premium app is no problem.

This. Haptic on causes stutter on mine.

Flawless here with SwiftKey. Typing on Chrome when it first starts sometimes lags a tiny bit but nowhere else. Matter of fact I'm typing so fast right now most of these words sfs care misspelled, SwiftKey just knows me too good <3
I even have haptic feedback on (albeit at very small vibration) but I like it that low because it makes the letters feel "fuzzy".

I shouldn't have to turn off sounds and haptic to resolve this. Never had the problem with og evo. This is definitely an issue for me.

It's all about that SwiftKey...never had that prob with it before.

I'm a long time SwiftKey fan, but I have to say I do like the Swype beta a lot. Don't like the keypad layouts as much and not being able to back Swype to delete a word makes me sad, but I can be really fast and accurate with this thing.

I notice it a lot when trying to unlock my phone. If I type my PIN real fast it misses numberS. I'm always forced to type it slow.

I get quite a bit of lag when I type in landscape mode in the stock Web browser. This is with SwiftKey.

Can't get trace to work with HTC keyboard

Other than enabling trace in settings what do I have to do?
Want to try it since swype on this phone is a buggy POS.

IMHO, It's worse than the swype.

I think you need to have word prediction enabled for trace to work. Give that a try.

As quoted from goodandevo.com
"Trace will only work in prediction-enabled text fields like email, messages, and notes. Search fields and URL bars do not support prediction, so you'll need to tap the individual keys in these areas."
A little ot, but is there a way to update swype? I was using it but it stopped tracing my finger so now I'm on HTC trace, which is basically just for text and email

Nope, not till root. There's a swype rep/employee on the IRC evo 3d channel and he's confirmed this already.

JetVD

Does anybody use this app? If so, has anyone noticed a bad lag when using it to download videos, especially when dragging down the status bar?
Been using it for a while now. Haven't noticed any lag but I usually don't pay too much attention. Gonna D/L something now.

Cool, let me know.
The only thing that really lags is when I try to pull down the notification bar when it's downloading. Scrolling through the home screens seems fine.

Well I just download about 10 different videos over 3G, 4G & Wifi. Didn't see any lag when pulling down the notification bar or the phone in general. Maybe you need to do a restart maybe? Sorry I couldn't re-create the problem you are having.

Still having the problem even after rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling. Is there any advantage JetVD has over TubeMate?
So uninstalled JetVD, installed TubeMate and downloaded a Youtube file without any lag. I like JetVD's interface a lot better but I can't deal with the notification bar freezing up so I guess I'll keep TubeMate unless there's a better option.
I've been using FreeDi Youtube Downloader since I got my OG Evo 4G and I've loved it. Now continue to use it flawlessly on the Evo 3D.

Car mode orientation

Is there a way to flip the car mode orientation? I can't find it. I would rather have my phone the other way, to get the cords out of my immediate view.
Both vlingo and HTC car mode auto orient to landscape, with the 'bottom' on the natural left side of the phone.
Thanks

Thx! I downloaded it and so far so good. I've been looking for something like this since I purchased my EVO LTE. Quick question... How is this app on the phone battery? Have you noticed any big drains on your battery? I hope not...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Nope it hasn't effected my battery life. It only keeps that persistent notification so that Sense doesn't go and kill it. I personally disable it when I know I won't be using it for awhile only because I try to save as much memory as possible and because it's not the best looking icon to have on my screen haha.

Swiftkey flow

I was under the impression that the spen would not work with flow, but it does! Sure am missing the dedicated number row though. If it had that it would be perfect.

I can deal without a dedicated number row. Just turn your long press sensitivity down.

agreed on both parts. i can type amazingly fast with it
I love it. It has all the functionality of SwiftKey plus flow, so if you don't like flow you can use it just like you can use the normal SwiftKey.
I took nosit1's advice and turned long press sensitivity down to make numbers easier. Love it! Now just need to figure out how to swipe to erase like on the non - swipe version and I will be perfectly content.

If you aren't hooked on swype, you might want to try some of the aftermarket keyboards...they do some amazing things (and some do have swype or something similar included). Especially if you are used to the iOS keyboard...its probably one of the biggest day to day functional improvements on Android. Smart Keyboard Pro, Thumb Keyboard and Kii are all awesome.

What's wrong with the stock keyboard? I just swiped this from it
sent from my Note 2
It sounds like the complaint is the suggestion bar because you can't turn it off. But it is less annoying if you turn off auto correction and next word prediction.
But there are many good keyboards. No one should feel stuck with a keyboard they don't like.

Thats not the stock keyboard. Thats swype. This is the stock keyboard:
If youre rooted, I can give you the stock kb with the auto correct turned off and ability to remove predictive text as seen above, in a flashable zip file. I cant help you with swype, I think stock is far superior though. Ive used 4.2 keyboard, swiftkey etc. I came back to stock
