I installed CM13 about a week ago, and found it was actually feeling slower than EMUI. Today I was getting ready to revert & realized that my typing felt really slow, & this was part of why the phone felt slow. I was running Swiftkey, when I reverted to Google Keyboard the problems went away. This makes me wonder, is anyone else running Swiftkey on CM13? It was night and day when I switched back.
I don't know about Swiftkey, but cm13 is relatively slow

Funny that you say that, everyone seems to say CM13 is snappier than EMUI but if anything I'd say it's a bit slower. Swiftkey was close to unusable though, I'm glad I realized that swapping back to stock keyboard solved that since I was getting worried.

Will have to try resurrection. I looked in some other forums today about swiftkey, apparently this is a fairly common problem on a lot of devices.
I sideloaded the blackberry keyboard and it feels slower than the ASOP keyboard as well. So I'm not sure if it's solely a swiftkey problem

When I say swiftkey was slow, I mean like unusably slow. Like close to a second between keystrokes registering. I actually think this was part of why I was annoyed about this phone originally & jumped quickly to CM.

Yep, it was horrible yesterday & I've been using Swiftkey for about 3 yrs. I was surprised though when I looked at settings of default keyboard it can be set to be similar now. As I said, some time on the Google today & I realized a lot of people have had similar issues with SK.

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've got a glas.t screen protector on and when I Swype back and forth very quickly I usually get a long word, occasionally a "please try again" message.

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.

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 have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

Also, coming from a 512mb phone that was also dual core this phone flies
its just the battery life that's ****
yeah that sounds like you just got a bad phone. I'm running new ICS leak, Rooted, desensed myself and whatnot, also put it into tablet mode and it flies like crazy! No overheating or bad battery life. Ya got yourself a lemon.

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating

I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.
After listening to all good remarks, I finally got a hold of this tablet. This being a quad core tablet, I assumed it should be fast. But to my surprise, it was actually not a really great experience. Things lagged every now and then. And it seems to be even worse when browsing. I tried alternative browsers but they all seem to be the same. Even Chrome Beta!

As far as I am aware the IO scheduling is not really what it ought to be with the Prime, with regards to browser lag though, I have switched plugins to on-demand in the stock browser settings and that helps a bit.
Some beta testers of the soon to be released firmware are reporting major improvements across the board, so hopefully you won't have long to wait.
Which version of the ASUS firmware are you on? Just out of curiosity.
This is not a question though. If you are having lagging issues; you could try to do a cold reset. This may help out as it has with others. The browser on the other hand has been an ongoing issue. You can help this by installing adblock, use opera, turn flash to on demand, or use the browser2ram tweak here on xda. There should be an update to help also sooner or later.

The Chrome Beta is known to cause the browser lag. Even it just being installed and you're using a different browser.
Uninstall chrome beta. Uninstall flash and reinstall flash.
Try opera mobile. It's been the best for me so far. I definitely have no browser lag, but did when chrome was installed. Same on my gtablet running an ICS rom.

I have noticed occasional lag on my Prime from time to time most often while using the browser.

Try AndroWook's ROM. The thing is fantastic; especially the newest version based on the TF300 JB base. It's slick as slick can be and takes the stuttering right out it.
Seriously, im disappointed. I loved my phone before the update, but now..after getting the update, I hate it. I want it OFF my phone. It totally fd up this phone. Pinch zoom is incredibly SLOW and CHOPPY. It freezes and lags like a SOB. And facebook...forget it. I visited the full site constantly because the mobile site caused too many problems. It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Im sorry if I came off the wrong way, in a way certain parts are quite speedy...but others, like Facebook took a huge hit. I tried a few of my emulators. They seem to work. Nesoid even works despite what I have heard from others. But it seems to lag on frames. Like, the video frames will appear faster but it will skip many thus the motion is choppy instead of fluid. N64oid works faster. I guess thats a plus. I only tried Goldeneye. Typing seems more accurate, but this sollg and screen jumping business is making it very difficult to type..with what was once cake. It wont stay centered on your text. The text boxes in facebook nuke the cpu as soon as you click inside them. It wasnt bad at all before this. I have not tried maps, but since you asked, I might as well.

Update... Just tried Maps. It works with no problems. Then again, I dont have the extreme latest version. Im 2 or 3 updates behind from newest. Street view also works.
Just tried 2 more browsers to use facebook for. Angel and Dolphin, its horribly slow and unusable...

Seriously, im disappointed. I loved my phone before the update, but now..after getting the update, I hate it. I want it OFF my phone. It totally fd up this phone. Pinch zoom is incredibly SLOW and CHOPPY. It freezes and lags like a SOB. And facebook...forget it. I visited the full site constantly because the mobile site caused too many problems. It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Unlike on locked down Motorola phones, it is perfectly possible to revert to gingerbread.
1. Unlock Bootloader with HTCDev
2. S-OFF with juopunutbear
3. Run Gingerbread RUU
4. You can stay S-OFF and Unlocked, or if you want to, S-ON and relock.

That's a Maps issue, the latest update broke it on the Rezound.

Sounds like the perfect time to unlock, root and install a custom ROM.

Right? I was on gb until like a month or two ago and I still prefer gb firmware over ica firmware. I have yet to try the latest radios but I still love the gb radios
I found Opera Mobile to work better. But damn...and yea, its either revert back or custom ROM. I still have not ever flashed before. Guess its one of those things I worry about because if reading a few horror stories of someones phone being bricked after flashing or phone radio not working.
I have seen people in here praising ICS left and right like it was the best update ever. I dont come in here often enough so maybe I missed the posts saying ICS is slow. I wonder if it is Sense 3.6 causing the slowdown?
Most things are the same probably butvsome stuff is def faster and hardware acceleration/gpu rendering makes everything completely smooth and not choppy like GB. Things will get better with some gud kernels when they release source

Do factory reset in Settings, storage.

ICS is working flawless and 10x faster than GB. Sounds like you should try to factory reset and try again or somethings wrong. Any there's NOTHING wrong with the kernel....I have no idea why people are saying this, CPU tuner only works for rooted rezounds that have perflock disabled. Try uninstalling it

Major update from gb to ics will cause problems if you don't wipe the phone.
But to each their own

TW is truly the ****tiest **** of all time... not gonna lie. The sad part is that i wont be able to root the phone since i have the att locked bootloader version =( Hoping sammy releases an update for the lag i have been experiencing because other than that its a super nice phone the camera is so cool.

Unfortunately tw is pants but not as bad as LG ui. I think Samsung will redesign tw next year if they have any sense!

True Lg is at a whole different level. TW needs a redesign from bottom up. Scrap everything that they currently have a redo it.
I have no lag other than with the keyboard on rare occasions. But I do get the occasional redraw on the TW launcher.
LAG While Texting
Your Not Alone! i experience lag almost anywhere i use the keyboard, if you use the Google Keyboard its actually very smooth!
i experience lag almost anywhere on the phone which is dissapointing considering i payed $1000 for a phone!!!
ok, so I was looking up the answer for this issue and I figured I would switch from Swiftkey X back to the normal Samsung keyboard...and as much as I hate to say it...it made a huge difference. It doesn't lag when I pull up SMS or MMS anymore.
Yep I switched to Google keyboard as I have the nexus 6 and its a key board I like (plus its free) and the lag has stopped..but Samsung should be able to fix there original keyboard easily in this update that's supposed to be coming.

Same here, samsung keyboard lags so I switched to google keyboard and now its lag free

I noticed a lot of lag with the stock Samsung messaging app, so I switched to Google Messenger, which I liked from my Nexus 6 anyways. There is no lag with it. Sadly though, you lose edge lighting and notifications.
I just got my first Android Phone 2 weeks ago, always been a Windows fan, and I am so annoyed with the lag especially with the messaging. At first, I thought it was my screen protector, but it's still lagging while texting.
