I am having a problem with my S3 and keyboard lag?  I have wiped the phone twice, adjusted settings, tried new keyboards and nothing seems to work...any suggestions?

Hello AWilson0610,

     A lagging keyboard is not fun. With a virtual keyboard becoming more popular on smartphones, it's super important that they are response and accurate. Let's make sure yours is doing just that. May I ask have you tried the steps that breezex provided? Thanks breezex! If so then what were the results? Also, are you using the default keyboard or a 3rd party keyboard app? As you share the details then we can assist.

Thank you...

ArnettH_VZW - I tried replying to your post in the forum but reply wouldn't

work...I did try what Breezex suggested and it did not help. I am using

the factory keyboard have also tried the Google keyboard. I am wondering

if it isn't all keyboard related - I also have problems with other progras

and typing so I wonder if it is the touch screen. My husband has the same

phone and he doesn't have any problems...are there some settings I can

adjust for the sensitivity of the touch screen? Thank you for your help -

would LOVE to solve this problem

OK thanks for trying to clear the keyboard app cache AWilson0610. Does the Google keyboard behave the same way? Is the keyboard lag happening with a specific function or app? When did this start? When did you last try a battery or SIM pull?

Jonathan - all keyboards work the same way. No specific app I notice it the

most when texting and I am using the factory program for texting. I pull my

battery at least once a day and the phone has always begun this way. Have

not pulled my SIM card yet and will try that. Can you suggest settings that

would make the screen sensitivity not so high? I know I originally thought

it was keyboard but I wonder if it's the screen itself?

Thank you for your help it's starting to drive me crazy

Matthew - ever since I have gotten the phone it has lagged with the

keyboard. When I type a text or anything that uses the keyboard it is

slow. It also does it if I am wanting to hit an icon sometimes I have to

touch it harder to get it to open. I like to text fast and I can't do that

cause I have to hit the buttons harder to get them to work. Not sure if it

is a problem with the sensitivity of the screen - it does this for every

keyboard I've tried - I've gone into the settings and adjusted the Tap and

Hold Delay I've set it to short and long and it doesn't matter. My husband

has the same phone and he has no problems with his. I have closed all apps

so nothing is running and that doesn't help, I have wiped the phone 3 times

and that doesn't do any good either. I do have a screen protector on it

but it is a high quality one (I can't remember the brand) so I didn't think

that was the problem (also the same one my husband has).

I used to have the Galaxy Nexus and the keyboard/screen sensitivity was

awesome on that! Disappointed that this phone is not the same. Can you

please give me some suggestions?

Thank you -

Amy

We appreciate the additional details, AWilson0610. You've done quite a bit already. I know you said your husband doesn't have the same issue with his phone which is the same. Have you personally tried this with his phone? I ask this because I have witnessed a lag with people who do type fast and the phone processor not catching up as fast and causing the device to freeze, lag, delay.

If you are a fast texter and realize that it lags mostly when you are texting fast, try the keyboard TouchPal X. It's free and has a lot of awesome features. It even lets you know how fast you are typing and has a lot of different input options to match your texting needs. I was having difficulty with my Google Keyboard so I switched and I absolutely love TouchPal. It's also great if you are a Swype kind of texter.

Here's more information if you are interested: http://www.touchpal.com/en/index.html
