Handcent lagging for you? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Anyone getting lag with using handcent when texting? My phone is always playing catch up it seems. Typing this seems fine though.

Which keyboard are you using? I've noticed the same thing happens to me, but only with Swiftkey3

Same here when using Swiftkey, maybe they still need to update for the S3?!

No lag here. Using Swype keyboard.

Stock s3 keyboard...I don't know if its swiftkey or not.

Swype won't minimize

I have had this unusual problem with the Swype keyboard. At times, the keyboard will stay up even though there is no text box. It often happens when doing a google search and clicking on one of the suggestions that pops up. The window will open, but the keyboard stays up and can't be minimized.
Currently using UnNamed with Swype version 3.25.91
I noticed this also when on a different ROM with a different Swype version.
Anyone else jabbed this occur?

[Q] keyboard lag...

Has anyone noticed the lag when typing or using the phone key pad? I had his with my infuse as well and its getting annoying. I really notice it when using the back space button. My HTC vivid is spot on....not sure if its a Samsung thing, keyboard skin thing, a setting that needs adjustments or a me thing.

I had lag on the Samsung keyboard, so I switched to the android keyboard. The android one is way better, I don't have any lag and I text pretty fast on this huge screen. I sure don't miss my iPhone.

A.I keyboard best hands down...
I want to like swift key, but when I tap on a word to fix it, it fixes the word and keeps the old text as well!!!
Disabling haptic feedback, text prediction and popup on keypress gets rid of the lag (and the motion sickness one gets from the screen popping around).

No swype, using Cm9!!

I'm really missing the original "swype" I've down loaded many apps from the market similar but nothing like the original. Any ideas, how do I get it?
Coming from GS2 running CM9
Not sure if it's compatible with ICS but try http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/ that's what i did after installing CM7

Check out SwiftKey X from play... I can't link it cuz I'm nub status here.
Don't miss Swype at all. It goes on sale for 99cents once in a while
Seriously?? Did you even try?
http://beta.swype.com
Swype will run on CM9; but like romuloxiii said, just go to the swype website, sign up for the beta, and download it
I've tried downloading the beta. And I can't seem to get it to work. I've followed the steps to install but it says password and username is incorrect, and says account not active. I'm not a noob and I can't seem. To be able to get past the login. I downloaded "swiftkey x" but I thought it was like swype. I will never text regular again. I absolutely hate texting. With 2 hands. I can swype so much faster than tapping, and one handed using my thumb. I've tried all the apps and none of the are as good or have stupid things that just make no sense. Any other ideas with swype beta? I thought maybe I'm on a custom romantic that it won't work.

Ok, I finally got Swype to work and I'm very happy now! Nothing is as perfect as the original Swype.

Sounds like you didn't use swype beta. How did you get the original?

I did finally get the beta to work. Works just the same as the original that came with the phone. It's a Lil different, ex. The color of the trail. But I'm glad to have Swype back again

Swype sucks anyway. It would always punctuate and make me look like a retard when I texted. I prefer go keyboard. Their "swipe" feature works just fine for me

[Q] What keyboard are you using with your S4?

Just curious what keyboard everyone is using. The S4 is defaulted to the Samsung keyboard which uses SwiftKey, but the S4 also comes with Swype. Are you using one of those, or are you using another? Maybe the SwiftKey or Swype from the market to gain some more options? Another keyboard?
What are you using, and why do you prefer it?
I'm using SwiftKey from the market. The stock Samsung keyboard does not have auto correct which is not something I can deal with.

I'm using stock 4.2.2 keyboard because I like the Holo UI look.
Kii. It has the option for the top number row like the stock keyboard, but it has autocorrect. I own Swiftkey also, but I hate it.
I use swiftkey from the market although the stock keyboard is kinda nice with the number row on top
installed the AOSP 4.2.2 keyboard. got so use to it when i was on my nexus, why change..
Check out the Swype keyboard I modded for a dedicated number row:

i am using the google keyboard currently, but looking for something with a little better flow. the fact that the comma key isn't on the letter screen bothers me.
+1 SwiftKey.

Press and hold the period
Actually a few of the keys on the main screen have sub functions so experiment
SwiftKey! :thumbup:

I've been using swiftkey but the lag the keyboard creates drove me crazy. I'm now using the Google keyboard and I bounce to the kii keyboard every once in a while.

I hear ya.
I like that it matches my N7
I used to be a huge fan of kii. Then I found swift key.
Had some fun with touch pal.
But ended right back up with swift key
SwiftKey keyboard without a doubt.

Best Keyboard

Hey guys, I've been using the stock android keyboard for a while and I'm curious, what's the best keyboard you guys have used?

I prefer swype like interface.
I have used both swiftkey (before swype-like interface) and afterwards, swype, thumb keyboard, and Slideit.
I prefer using swiftkey slightly.
Swype is probably the best in regards to sliding.
Slideit is nice but has a slight lag that messes me up.
Swiftkey has some predictive stuff which can both help or hinder.
I think you can't go wrong with any of the above 3.
For tablets, I just use thumb keyboard.
for me either stock 4.2 keyboard or samsung galaxy s4's keyboard love them both
I like the stock keyboard and Google keyboard from the market. The stock keyboard is tough to type with after having a number of drinks

Haha. I use SwiftKey, in Pitch color scheme. Jelly Bean keyboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jlsoft.inputmethod.latin.jelly.free is great too. Just like the stock Google keyboard but with more secondary functions on the keys.
As someone who purchased both swype and swiftkey, I personally use the Samsung keyboard, though I must add that I took the apk from the international version and changed some things to make it work how I wanted it to. Currently I m testing the Google keyboard from the 4.3 leak and its pretty good, haven't used it very long though.

I've been a swype user since day 1. Even when I had my GS3 but I'm loving the stock Samsung keyboard on the GS4.
Pay for SwiftKey. Best app purchase I have ever made.

Swype...best ever. I'm pretty sure that's an objective truth.

Wish Swype would for allow for customer autotexts (abbreviations). I use about 100 of these daily.
I used to use swiftkey before I came to the s4 but now I dont seem to think it looks good on the phone it just looks plan so as of now im using stock even though I serverly hate the keyboard because I keep making mistakes on it.
Have you guys tried touchpal?

Samsung stock keyboard....that top row of numbers is awesome especially for entering passwords over and over

I've used SwiftKey for nearly a year now. I did try the 4.2 stock keyboard for a week or two but found my way back to SwiftKey. The predictive capabilities are phenomenal and can really save you time.
I like the stock Samsung key board. The numbers on top are great. My only concern is the dictionary. I have added words to the Samsung dictionary, but they still dont show up when texting. Has anyone had success with adding words to the dictionary?
