View Full Version : Any tweaks to fix keyboard lag?

Keyboard lag is driving me nuts. Regardless of which rom I use, it's still there in one form or another.

I either get missed characters, too many characters (a problem someone else mentioned with Dutty's latest hybrid), or the thing just gets incredibly sluggish with presenting key presses.

It's almost like there's some background process that needs to clear out before the keyboard gets the full attention of the device.

Anyone got any ideas?

try turning off "Word Completion" feature, it might help

"Start" ==> "Settings" ==> "Personal" Tab ==> "Input" ==> "Word Completion" Tab ==> Uncheck

Good luck

If you have TITL and flashed HTC rom, install the attached CAB file and SR.

If you have TyTN II and flashed AT&T rom, do this:

Remove the following value from your registry:

Find this key: HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd

Either delete "CWSLayout" or set it = 0

I've got a original TyTN II and mine lags aswel

I quit using the keyboard altogether. I use the cootek keyboard (http://www.cootek.com/index.html) I can type faster on it than the keyboard anyway. Just took a couple of days to get used to it.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in this then. It seems a real shame that a device as powerful as the Kaiser still has these problems with keyboard lag.

I might try installing a touch screen one again. But then, if I'm not going to use the keyboard, I might as well go back to my Touch ;)

What about settings/buttons/up/down control I usually increase the repeat rate a bit and it improves for me.

In addition to turning off Word Completion, I also unchecked the Autocorrect option.

I immediately noticed that all of my keyboard lag problems disappeared.

Tried all of the above so far, and still have the problem. To be honest this single thing makes me want to get rid of the Kaiser completely. It's so annoying!

Follow the instructions in TaurusBullba's thread about the Tilt keyboard here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911). Worked for me when I was running HTC-based roms.

this problem is a mixture of things such as your Kaiser going through the stored words with Auto-correct on as well as other things. the best thing to do is turn auto-correct and complete off as well as increase the repeat rate set the first delay to short and repeat rate to fast and you should be good to go. also clear your stored words list every day and it will type as fast as your fingers can go.

Please, someone answer the question: does everyone have this stupid keyboard lag/double letter problem or is it just some units? I want to know whether it's worth demanding a replacement or if I will just get the same problem all over again :(

I just changed my settings to the above posts and my tilt is fast now.
No lagging problems.

Hi:
I have a 2 week old Tilt (stock ROM), no keyboard lag at all.

I was having the same EXACT issues as everyone was complaining about but once I increased both rates in my button option and went to the "input" and xt9 option in programs(I have that because I have the dualtouch rom from dutty) and turned off word completion and all the rest of the options, I have absolutely no lag now.

If you will go to settings -> buttons and raise the repeat speed it will fix this problem.

Tweak it up and down until you get it where you like it. I noticed that if i put it all the way up it was putting in too many letters.
