I have the S6 Active (SM-G890A). I'm coming from a s4, both AT&T. Here is the issue. With the new phone I have a hard time getting back to the keyboard after using voice text. In the past I could quickly press X and get back to where you could edit the text with the keyboard but with the new S6A, it very sluggish and sometimes completely unresponsive. I have to tap it several times. I'll attach a screen shot. Anyone else noticed this? Or better yet found a fix? I installed a new keyboard and still had the issue.
I tried a few keyboards and didn't like any of them. I keep going back to the Google keyboard. I don't have any issues with it on the Active.

Ok so i am trying to determine what my problem is.. here are the symptoms. When i try and end a call i sometimes have to press multiple times or deliberately press and hold the end button and sometimes it doesn't respond pretty much at all. Also i am using go launcher and when i press icons that are in the dock bar they have the same issues. I also have similar issues when i text it's really annoying so is anyone else have similar issues?

Same here. I've noticed that to hang up it takes a deliberate double tap. Also, the screen will sometimes become inoperable requiring a reboot. This has happened three times since first getting it. One note if that out happened twice stock, and once with decrapped 1.1
Any body else seen this?

I haven't seen it anywhere else, but I have seen the double tap on the end button to end a call. Seems to happen frequently. A "feature?"
Either way, it's annoying.
Running Go Launcher as well.
To me, it seems like it takes the screen a really long time to wake up from being off, in all cases - for example, dial voicemail and put the phone to your ear. When you get the prompt to put in your PIN, take it away and the screen comes on, try to punch the dialpad button immediately and it just won't work. I tried it as I was writing this and had to triple tap the button.
Same thing with the lockscreen (still on the stock lockscreen for now). The screen will wake up and it takes a second or two to even start to register finger swipes. It's really annoying...
Speaking of phone lockup, I received a call a few days ago and the phone froze - I couldn't answer the call, or do anything, all the while the phone just kept ringing. Had to pull the battery. I'm still on the stock ROM.
Me too! I had a call and it froze. Battery pull as well. Also, forgot to mention I am using open home launcher.

Yep it's a bug either in LG's function to turn on and off the screen in Android, or the kernel drivers that enable/disable the touchscreen. There is about a 1 second delay to it.
I discovered this lovely bug while porting the AOSP lockscreen mod.
I'll run some more tests to see whether it's an android bug or a kernel bug. I'm betting it's android (something like the screen being turned on before the touch controller has had time to reinitialize itself, or something more complicated like a race condition of some kind...)
Either way, with cm7 around the corner, I don't think it's that big of a bug

Errrr Are you sure the Revo is getting CyanogenMod 7? Where did you hear this and more importantly when will we get it?

Since he is the one working on getting it ported over, I think he has the best idea, and the only rule of cm is no asking for etas ;-)

Hello.
I have a strange problem with my Note. I noticed this a few weeks ago and thought it might just fix itself automatically. However, it hasn't.
The issue is when using YouTube or Play Store. When searching for something the keyboard will freeze but only when the word begins with "O".
So for example if I search for "Opera Mini" on Play Store the keyboard will lock up. Same happens if I search for "Call Of Duty" on YouTube, the keyboard will lock up when I go to type "Of".
I've restarted my phone and tried all the usual fixes but nothing has worked so far.
This problem didn't occur when I first bought the phone, it only came on a few weeks ago so I'm not sure what triggered it.
If anyone else has come across this issue or heard about I'd appreciate some feedback.
Thanks.
FYI - I am running stock Android 2.3.6 with the stock keyboard.
I'm not sure whether my trivial problem is similar to yours. But I have experienced, yet very infrequently, that my Swype keyboard wouldn't type the letter "w" when the word start with it. I was able to close the app and back again and the keyboard works fine.
Honestly, I don't know the reason behind your weird problem. But why don't you try using another keyboard?
I've tried other keyboards but I just prefer the stock one.
I'm currently using Swype keyboard until I can figure out my problem.
My S5 seems to be possessed. Its not rooted (cant anyway) no rom, have done absolutely nothing out of the ordinary to the phone other then install my normal apps from the play store.
Yet the phone is constantly, about 20x a day just going to the 'call logs' screen. I've rebooted the phone, logged in and with nothing open poof call logs. It seems to happen more when my fingers are hovering near but not touching the screen, is there some sort of air gesture for call logs that I dont know about ? Its never any other screen, its not like its accidentally hitting the 'back' button. It is starting to get a bit annoying ..
I notice mine opens apps "on its own". Not sure if its a gestures or hover thing or what. Usually gallery or phone, which are right next to each other on my home screen (all the way left). Must have something to do with it.

YES!!! My Rogers (SM-G900W8) does it too! I thought it was probably because I installed something, but, now that I see you have the issue !!
I posted this same question in the Q&A section regarding the call logs. Ultimately , I factory reset my phone. That fixed whatever the problem was. It was annoying the crap out of me.

I found the problem, it was my galaxy gear 2, every time it 'checked' my phone for new messages it would leave the phone on the call log. I turned off the option to open content on my phone from my gear and all is well now !
I have been experiencing this issue since upgrading to Lollipop on my S5. I too have a Galaxy Gear 2. I have just disabled 'Smart Relay' in the Gear App (which is what I presume you were referring to) and so far all seems good Thanks.
Basically as the title says, often when typing (I use swiftkey) the phone will incorrectly register a tap as a swipe from my last type. This often results in a word getting entered before I am ready (often the wrong word) and its just generally annoying. Never experienced this with my last phone on swiftkey so I would be surprised if it was a software issues with swiftkey.
Anyone seen this or know whats going on? Any fixes? Its really a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance I would like to get solved.
I've noticed this as well. I've been using the Google keyboard for months, but just downloaded SwiftKey because of that same issue. However, it looks like it's not the keyboard as it's happened with SwiftKey also.
Sometimes when trying to zoom in on a photo the pinch to zoom doesn't work. It's like the double touch isn't recognized. Wonder if they're related?

On my first Note 7 the Samsung keyboard was really laggy. I switched to the Google keyboard and everything was ok with the speed of typing (accuracy is still bad with Google keyboard). Now with my Note 7 replacement both keyboards are laggy. I type and the letters appear 0.5-1 sec later from time to time. The vibration of the keyboards is also off. Has anybody the same issues?
I did when I used Smart Switch to do a full swap on my device... my new device I moved over data via alternative methods and only restored Settings, Call history, S Note, and Messages with Smart Switch... it's working allot better this time I did a similar thing on my Note 4 when I temporarily reverted during the recall and saw a similar performance improvement

Hmmm. I did a complete clean install after I got the replacement and I got the OTA update. I even installed all the apps newly. I didn't restore anything. Might try another factory reset.
Almost every Samsung phone I had has had a leggy keyboard, my note 4 was really bad. Even after flashing different roms and what not on my note 4, it was still Larry. My note 7 has been pretty decent actually
Do you guys know what's going on with mine? I notice sometimes I'll get a notification and for a split second the notification doesn't fully load at top. Here's a screen shot to show you what I'm talking about. I also just put it side by side my other note that I'm returning and got the same notification while same app open and it didn't do it on the other note. Wtf.
google keyboard lags, samsung keyboard lags aswell.
just installed swiftkey. well see how that turns out.. seems OK so far
I turned off nova accessibility and it fixed the issue for good for me.
