Text Entry via XV6800 Silde-Out Keyboard is SLOW! Help!

[thecolter]

The text entry from my physical keyboard on my XV6800 is SLOW. It seems to hang up when typing a text/email message and also seems that it doesn't show the characters until I hit "space". Text entry is fast and smooth when using the soft keyboard on the screen.

I've tried a hard reset, but that did not help.

Any Ideas?

Are you using a task manager to close programs down tht run in the background?
You know a hard reset from a soft reset, right?

It will do it with about 18 - 23megs of RAM with no other programs running other than those from startup. Sometimes it will type just fine then all of the sudden it will start hanging up. I've also noticed that if I close the slider while it's "hung up", it will instantly display the text i was typing like there was no problem.

I do know the difference between the hard reset (holding both soft keys while simultaneously pressing the reset button) and the soft reset (just pressing the reset button).

I don't know if it's a hardware problem or possibly a software issue. I was planning on updating to a custom ROM to enable GPS and update to WM6.1. Do you know if a ROM update would take care of a software issue if that was in fact what was causing the problem.

I have the same phone, same issue. When I first slide the phone there's a good 3-5 second period where the display of the text lags. I just keep typing and soon all of the characters suddenly appear. I have noticed the same issue while using the Vito SMS-Chat program. The display of text lags right after I slide it open and/or I am receiving a text.

does your screen sometimes display vertical black lines when you are typing on the slide-out keyboard?
