I was trying out Kaiser in a shop and there was a very annoying problem with the keyboard. I would tap some text field, slide the keyboard out, start typing, but the characters wouldn't appear until about 5 seconds or so. The cursor in the text field would just blink in one spot and then all the characters just appeared all at once (at least none were lost). Does this happen to anyone else?
Same deal here. Worst, the word detection sometimes get activated and the first few letters get auto-completed w/o me asking them to be.
Kind'a annoying when your device cant keep up with you.
on another forum somebody suggested turning off word prediction to greatly increase response time

That indeed seems to help a bit.

Where is your user manual? Guess it is faster here

Its sad to me how lazy people get. Simple searching the forum will resolve 80% of the questions asked in new threads. Some people just don't even try.
irc is just as bad if not worse

I'm coming from a Samsung Blackjack, and I have to say the one thing I miss is how I can pretty effortlessly navigate the blackjack with one hand.
I am getting better with Kaiser (AT&T Tilt for me), and most of the inconvenience is simply that I always have to slide out the keyboard to do text messaging. I could do this one handed on the blackjack with a lot more ease (text messaging). I leave the tilt keyboard extended at my desk so I can pick it up to reply to text messaging without having to first extend the keyboard.
I've been able to navigate about in the Kaiser save one thing I would like to accomplish. I wish there was a hard button to activate the HTC X in the top right hand corner so I can physically exit programs without having to take out the stylus.
Anybody have any ideas?
Any other tips about one handed operation would be appreciated.

if you go to settings-buttons- and you will see that there is option for buttons to asssigne them to diffirent commands..ok/close button is also there..or when you want to close apps..you can hit ok button by the keypad..does the same..
A program that really helps me one handed operating is PocketCM.
you can iniate calls much easier esp to favorites
i have toyed with Pocket Keyboard by the same guy.
Just do a search for PocketCM - there are several threads that have links
for me what i do is i set the phone to landscape and use the hard buttons. when i need to use the keyboard i slide it out. its already in the correct orientation. this also solves the switch "lag"
With 128 MB of RAM, you seriously do not need to worry about completely exiting programs.

As the title suggests I'm having a problem with typing using the T9 on the QWERTY keyboard.
When start typing a word it gives me 4 suggestions. I can click on any of the 4 suggestions to chose it, or press space to accept the 1st suggestion.
Almost every time I click on one of the other 3 suggestions it starts writing it out where my cursor is, and then jumps to another part of the text / email / forum post etc... so that the first few letters are in the right place, and the rest is randomly placed.
Anyone else having this problem, and is there a way to get all the text in the right place?!!
I find that choosing the word from the list using the hardware button D pad on the diamond solves the problem, which I forget to do sometimes and when I point on the screen to the word I want it does what you say.
Hope this helps!
Thanks... I will try that next time!
The other option is just to type the actual word you want I suppose.
I wonder why it jumps lines?
Why can i never just get a cool phone and it just WORK?!?!
So i have the Note,and it is buggy as all hell.
The typing is about as accurate as my old HTC Touch HD.
When i click on the search forum tab the text entry screen pops up, i type 1 letter then the text entry screen just vanishes.
*Apparently I posted this in the wrong section earlier and upset someone, and was told I was not posting civilized questions, so to you I am sorry
Cheers!
Okay back to business.
I was trying to set up an order for broadband on the phone and when i try to center the chat screen so i can type it keeps vanishing half way off of the screen and wont center
when chatting with another company their text would show but my entry window would not.
And WHY is this keyboard soooooo un-accurate. i never had issues with my iPhone text entry and the buttons were no where near this large. Am i typing too fast?
Also there are times where I am trying to enter data into a certain field then it highlights the one beneath it, crazy!
any suggestions?
thanks

I have PMed the OP for the reason why
Basically ever since I got my N5. The bigger screen kinda messes me up when I text or use the keyboard at all. Sometimes I use the swipe method to write on my phone, but other times I just do old fashioned button presses. When I text normally and I go to hit the space bar I will usually hit the period by accident. I'm pretty fast and don't usually look over my texts before I send them so my friends usually get text messages from me that look sometime like this;
"Hey.what are.you.doing today after work? You.wanna.go.grab.lunch at subway.or something?"
I never did it on my slide out phone obviously, or my gnex. This screen is just wide enough to make it happen for me. I'm still not used to having to reach so far right when trying to put in a period. Also I disable double tap space to enter punctuation. I find it annoying.
Not really a complaint or trying to vent at all. Just curious if I was the only one who did this as I have been called out on several occasions by multiple people as to why I replace my spaces with periods.
FYI I put this in general and not Q+A because it's not a serious issue that I need support for and I believe Q+A should be reserved for those kinds of posts.
I'm a big proponent of just using voice recognition for entering texts...sure, you can't always do it for discretionary purposes, not to mention sometimes it makes you look like a weirdo...
But now that the voice recognition is built into the phone it works so well.
Thanks for the reply. I only ever use that driving.
I leave it mounted on Google Now. That way I can say text so and so or navigate to, etc. When I'm not driving I usually just text normally or swipe.
I agree that voice to text works very well on this phone as well. Back on my Droid X it would never pick up my sentences correctly. I guess my bad luck with it previously helps account to why I don't use it much.
I also literally just noticed something about the keyboard I never realized. It's probably been around forever, though. When you want to input a number, you can long press the top row of keys to get that number or you can just press the symbols key and open the keypad with the numbers. That I knew. I just figured out you can press the symbols key and without picking up your finger, swipe somewhere on the keyboard and it switches to the symbols page. Release your finger on the desired key and bam. Number or symbol inputted and your back on the alphabet keys. This method is faster than the other two. Awesome.... And sorry for being so far behind.
I like the voice to text as well it works really good especially if you speak clearly. Sometime though, you don't have that option. That's where a different keyboard comes into play. There are soooo many in the play store. Have you tried one? Some are so customizable it's insane. Some to try out: perfect keyboard, smart keyboard, SwiftKey, swype, touchpal, thumb keyboard, and about 50 more

I.did.this.all.the.time.on.sub.5.inch.devices.
The screen on this device actually makes typing a fabulous experience. I rarely ever hit the "." unintentionally, and I rather enjoy typing again.
My last device had a 4.3 inch screen, and I would make this mistake all the time.

I have to say, it got easier for me. On my n4 I had the exact same problem. But the n5 has the perfect screen size for writing in my opinion.
It only rarely happens that there is a "b" or "n" instead of space.
But I really had to get used to in the beginning.

attached is an image of SwiftKey's 'compact mode'. it can be pushed to either side of the device and makes it easier to type with one hand on the bigger devices
This happens to me as well. It never happened on my nexus 4.

This is probably not the input you're looking for but it is a good habit to review what you typed before you send it. The recipients, and you, will appreciate it.
You should think about taking off some extra buttons (in Advanced settings) -- if you remove both the Voice Input button and the language toggle, the space bar is much bigger (making it an easier target).
This happens to me all the time on my old S2! However I've taken special care to stretch my thumb further, so I don't get that as much.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro and removed the comma button to lengthen the keyboard.
Maybe a solution for you is to use Smart Keyboard Pro, remove the fullstop button and add in the comma button (it's on the left) so your right thumb will hit the space button for sure. Only issue then is getting used to holding down the comma button for a fullstop
