Anyone having a similar experience? Any sort of screen input seems to bog down really bad and finding myself having to retype things and hit keys again. Wondering if it is somehow heat related? Or some kind of software flaw? It happens with the stock keyboard and swiftkey as well. Any input is appreciated, thank you.
This happens to me all the time now. It is really annoying. I'm going to do a clean reinstall and see if that helps.
It happens to many people. I get this too sometimes when typing on keyboard, it will miss some of the keys/letters. It could be touchscreen issue and/or LG Keyboard issue. The interesting thing is that when I started to use the phone it didn't do that, but in 4 or 5 days it started to do that. I cleared the cache of LG Keyboard, but still didn't help. I hope LG gives us some sort of software update even if it is not 5.1.1. We need a normal working phone!
Yeah interestingly enough it happens mostly on the charger. When I'm off, it seems to be pretty much good. Although it does miss some presses on occasion if I don't press deliberately enough. It's almost as though the touch screen sensitivity is botched
Yes common lg issue. No idea why
change the keyboard and hopefully lg will send a software update to fix this and this only while charging also is your phone usable
What temps are you guys getting when the Keyboard lag occurs while charging for both battery and CPU?
In my case and also others have reported that keyboard lag occurs in any condition if the phone is charging and when it is not. I think I have eliminated the keyboard lag by disabling vibrate in LG Keyboard settings. Now don't have any missed key presses.
I get this when charging very time, and I don't use the LG keyboard. It's definitely a hardware issue. I don't use the stock LG charger though, but it doesn't sound like that would make a difference.

Im sure a fair number of you will have experienced the same thing where you press a key once and you get like 3 of that letter and sometimes for me the Fn key doesnt work too well either
i've tried like swirling the keys around to move dust etc but it didnt help
maybe i should just send it back? becuase its really annoying
I also have this problem sometimes. Thought it might be a software problem or so, but maybe you are right and particles are collecting there.
Did someone try that on X1?
Well, if there was such a solution I wouldn't have to send my X1 to the service centre. And just delaying it as much as possible, but given that my warranty ends next week, I'd probably have to go down soon. And anyway, it's not just repeats that I'm facing. Sometimes it's the other way round, as in the keyboard not responding unless I press the key down real hard.

just tried, and seems to work! thanks
settings-personal-buttons-up/down control
delay before first repeat set to long
repeat rate 3 from fast
works good!
I'd say it works about 80-90%. It does save the X1 from the trash piles, so kudos to the friendly guy who dug up the solution, and no kudos to SE and/or MS who can't think of fine-tuning the keyboard settings before they ship a product that was $800-900 unlocked at launch.
Caveat and an inappropriate rant: I remember doing so much research, and everyone across so many different forums said a hardware keyboard is the way to go if you do a lot of texting. Not true. I find that hardware keyboards require a lot of efforts to press compared to a virtual keyboard, even worse if it's not spaciously laid out, and even worse if, unlike the X1, the positioning of the keys relative to each other is off.
Truth is I type even faster on an iPhone/ipod touch than an X1, without feeling like an RSI is coming on, and it's not because of predictive text entry. It's because my thumbs can use a lot less force on the keys. I believe most people still press way too hard on a touch screen trying to be control freaks.
So the keyboard may be 80-90% improved, but I've got my budget ready for an iPhone. And no more listening, no more being open to suggestions!

Well, I don't want to live without h/w keyboard anymore. And I did a fast typing challenge against an iPhone and won. The guy who wrote on that iPhone was a real freak, had an iPhone since it came out and types really fast...but I love the h/w keyboard on the xperia. If it would not have this double-letter error I would love it even more...Now I'm going to fix it with the solution mentioned above. Thanks!
I just want to add one thing...
The reason I say the fix is 80-90%, is because I think CPU speed and/or power settings might contribute somewhat to the keyboard issue. Once last week, I had the phone plugged into AC, and the keyboard suddenly became free of issues, and responded properly to my typical typing efforts.
Using nueCPL-ClockSpeed v1.3 in an unscientific test, the keyboard produces more mistakes on a lower speed (384MHz), but its Max Performance setting didn't exactly reproduce the AC power remedy.
This is not a very stringent observation at all, but since I am stuck with the X1 for a while, I'll keep on trying I'm betting that the next iPhone will be a significant update, so I have to hold off the purchase for now... and kiss NRGZ28's toes for his rom's.

i've done everything you've all said but it doesnt work does that mean it is a physical problem?

really dont know, since i set that way no problem at all.. maybe dirt came under your keyboard
I know that this has been a fairly common complaint about the Nexus One but i'm wondering, roughly what percentage of people actually have this issue? To clarify, i mean the problem whereby touching the screen in one place is actually registering elsewhere on the screen.
I've had this problem since buying my n1 and having to constantly turn the screen off and back on again was driving me nuts. Finally i sent the unit back to Vodafone for repair and they in turn sent it to HTC to be fixed. So yesterday i got it back with an enclosed statement along the lines of "we have fixed your fault etc..".
Three minutes into using the damn thing and the fault crops up again. So much for that! To be fair to Vodafone they are sending out a replacement unit now but of course i'm concerned that even that will have the same issue.
What are the odds?
Here is the same.
To developers: the fact that resetting the screen fix the problem makes me to ask if there isn't a way to make the screen re-calibrate itself every X seconds/minutes, without shut off and on the screen every time. Seems to be until now the only solution to this extremely annoying issue.
It really is a bizarre one. I've seen people discussing whether it's a hardware or software issue but nobody seems to have a definitive answer. If it were a hardware problem, surely it would be constant/permanent? If it's a software issue i would have thought that somebody would have bug-fixed it by now? Especially as it seems so prevailant.
I'm stumped!
Other than this one problem though i am completely in love with this phone. The device itself feels solid, durable and pleasant to use. Android is improving all the time and it always impresses when you demonstrate to the un-initiated what the device is capable of. So close to perfect...but not quite!
EDIT... This from the wiki.. "- Q5: Sometimes my screen registers touches in incorrect places, and I need to turn the phone off and on to make it work correctly again
A: This is a hardware problem, nothing can be done about it. Nexus One's digitizer sucks.
Ho-Hum.
I have experienced this problem on android 2.1 ever since upgrading 2.2/2.2.1, I haven't had the problem. I'm very happy with my screen

That suggests a software problem although i have had it on 2.1, 2.2 and now 2.2.1. I would say that it has happened to me within three minutes of using the phone, 50% of the time within that three minute window. In other words it's cropped up in half the texts/emails i have sent where i have had to do the screen off/on thing to complete the message.
Very annoying.
It has to do mostly with the way people hold their phones, the possibility of registering false touches - including, for example, touching the screen with fingers that aren't completely dry. Some have the issue more than others.
HW issues still can have SW workarounds sometimes. I'm not sure if it's the case. HW and SW need to be analyzed to find one, if exists.
There is no "calibrating" capacitive touchscreen. Resetting its controller might have effects like missing touches and other random screen misbehavior (for example - if the controller is tracking fingers, resetting it would cause it to lose the tracking).
Since getting my phone back from 'repair' the issue is less frequent, suggesting that it's not a usage problem as i'm obviously still using the phone in the same manner as before. Instead it seems that various devices suffer from the problem in varying degrees.
I suppose if i knew what they had actually done to the phone while it was being tended to it might help us discover why the frequency of the problem has been reduced. I know that the digitizer wasn't replaced as the phone came back with the same screen protector on it as it had when i sent it off. That being said, they obviously did something. I just don't know what!
Most probably replaced the phone's MB.
Try upgrading to the latest radio - the issue will probably not be 100% solved, but now I only get it maybe once a month or so...
I may tell them not to bother sending out a replacement. It's happening far less often since it was returned and (going by the poll results), there's a good chance that the replacement could actually be worse than this one is now.
Perhaps the 2.3 update will jar something loose.
ATTENTION PLEASE!!
after flashing miui latest ROM i've never had touchscreen issues anymore in over 20 hours of hard usage (also with the phone in charge!!).
I don't believe is a coincidence, developers please ask miui developers if they have integrated a code to fix this issues.
Thanks!

I have already restored cyano 6.1.1.
However, about "multitouch issues" I mean inaccuracy, the fact that the touch is recognised in another point of the screen (particularly when you press the bottom part of the panel). I didn't verified the axes-inversion issue, but I'm almost sure that it persists.
The "touch inaccuracy" is nothing else than the usual axis-swapping thing. When accidental dual touches (palm/holding fingers/water/etc) happen, the digitizer goes nuts.

I don't think so....I pay attentions when the screen goes crazy. I'm absolutely sure that (in charge for example) my touch is ONE.
The only times I was able to trigger the "screen nuts" effect, were when I was typing 2-fingered, and fast - making it register dual touches. Moreover, sometimes a single touch with a single finger is reported as series of touches. Once it happens, it stays until screen off.

I mean this....since I moved to MIUI this is not happened anymore.
Since I uninstalled Htcime the inaccuracy issues seem less so far! Almost only with the phone under charge ...much much better than before! Dunno why....

So I have this phone a week or more now and I have been having no issues whatsoever except for the battery timing being very low which I have came learn how to use more efficiently reading guides however I've come across a new problem..a problem that seriously driving me crazy
First of my phone hasn't been accidentally dropped or suffered any shock
So I've been texting and typing a lot with the phone and I loved the feeling of its haptic feedback which was very strong I think the intensity was maxed out but since last night I've been feeling it weird to type messages on it and I realized the phone hasn't been vibration back strong enough on its feedback and now vibrations is so weak It is really killing the joy, at first I felt that may be I'm being paranoid and nothing is wrong with it but after a good night sleep I am still feeling its Not intense enough for me,
I tried the screen test and the phone vibrates like a beast! but when ever it comes to using the keyboard the vibration is so low, on the intensity options the phone vibrates strongly but on keyboard its very low! I can't figure out what the problem is the vibrating is fine with other things but not with haptic feed back.. anybody know what I should do? is it a software or hardware problem? Its my first smart phone and touch screen experience and its really got ruined...
-edit-
Okay just found out something new when I used the Swype keyboard the haptic feedback got stronger so that means this isn't a hardware problem? but if its a software problem I have no Idea whats wrong with it cause I haven't done any updates on it, have reset the phone plenty of times but no avail..
Sorry Wrong forum please close.
I recently got a replacement phone from esurance for a broken Droid x2. They sent me a droid 4, which I had no objections against given the great specs comparatively.
I read reviews on the screen being low quality, viewing wise, and this is not the issue I have with the phone. Coming from a dx2, the quality is not that different.
My problem is that there appears to be a lag between when i touch the screen and when it starts reading the input. A simple test to show what I am talking about is as follows;
Download multi touch paint or another paint app. If I swipe my finger across the screen as fast as i can, I can get 2/3 of the way across the screen before it draws anything.
This half second delay makes typing on the screen nearly impossible...It only picks up about half of the letters I press when typing normally like I would on a Dx2. To be clear, its not inputing the wrong letters because i am not used to the phone.. Its not inputting anything on about half of my keypresses.
I am on the latest official (nonleaked) version of android. Unrooted.
Should I RMA it again? Is there a fix, and has anyone else experienced it?
Thanks for any help!
over 150 views and no reply yet? I dont mean to rush things along, I just wanna make sure i did everything right.. Im in the right section?
If nothing else, could someone else tell me whether they have similar results?
Is typing horrible for everyone on the onscreen keyboard?
I don't use the on screen keyboard much but the few times I have I have not noticed any lag. Sounds like a hardware issue to me.
I'd do a factory reset (yeah yeah, I know). If that doesn't fix it, you can either RMA it again or try to install a 3rd party rom and see if that helps things.
What you are describing is definitely not normal.
Factory reset actually cleared up my issues =) thanks!
Hi guys, I have serious problems with external keyboards on my Tab S8 Ultra. The typing sucks. It wont pick up when I type double letters. It's is awful. Sometimes in almost every sentence on a page! It does this with Bluetooth keyboards. I wasn't too worried as I was waiting for the dock to arrive thinking it was a third party issue. But no, exactly the same with the official keyboard dock. It is unbearable! Anyone know of a fix for this apart from typing painfully slowly.
I also have a iPad M1 Pro and with keyboard dock and have no problems typing on that. But I am not an Apple guy so I don't want to have to switch back for work stuff. Any help?
I haven't noticed this issue yet. I think I've only used the keyboard cover. Tried rebooting? I wonder if there's some kind of wireless interference that's only affecting the tablet?

Yeah ive triex all that. Of coirse there may be something about the way i type, pretty fast, that is causing a problem. But i have never had this problem on other devices or keyboards.
This is a very common issue using bluetooth keyboards on a mobile device, which has yet to be resolved
I have the exact opposite problem: I get double letters, where I do not want them. But on the other hand, I never had issues getting double letters when I want them.
There was an update a while ago for the keyboard. I had some lag when typing, but after the update it's working fine for how I use it
I have an issue where sometimes it won't register an input, and other times it will act like it's holding down whateve key I happen to be pressing at the time. It literally did it while typing this comment, and added like 20 spacebar inputs. I'm using the OEM keyboard cover with the S8 Ultra.

I just half an hour ago reproduced this issue, or one close enough to it, although I'm not convinced it's even the keyboard or just Samsung's version of Android, or a bug in Chrome. I tried the same thing in Firefox and Brave (the last is also Chromium-based) with no issue, and was able to reproduce the issue in Chrome consistently. Eventually, but a long time after, Chrome would FC.

Mine is definitely Samsung related, whether hardware or software. It will replicate often in any app as long as I'm typing unfortunately
I use mine with a Apple Magic keyboard 2 and have not experienced this. My annoyance is that when opening a tab in Dex and start typing it defaults to the curser to the tablet and not my external monitor

Easy:
Go to settings -> accessibility -> interaction and dexterity -> disable "bounce keys"

Not needed. As I suspected its a software issue. someone sorted it today for me on the Samsung Forum. It's an easy fix.
Go to settings, then interaction and dexterity and turn off 'bounce keys'.
Now it works perfectly!

Unfortunately neither of these will work for me. I've tried cleaning the pins and every other solution. I'm pretty disappointed in this $300 keyboard
