Help Typing tooooo slow on virtual keyboard... Help!!!

[Gurdeep.Singh.Mander]

Hi frendz,

I have just joined androidforums.com and this is my very first post

I had just purchased galaxy spica and having problems with its typing capabilities. I am a heavy texter. I use to text on my spica in landscape mode. The problem is - it is too slow. Very sluggish!

There are very brief moments when it actually works fine, otherwise i type a letter and then wait until it gets printed. If i don't wait and keep pressing keys, it skips letters which leads to obvious in-accuracy. I have no tasks running in the background. The behavior is same even after resetting it to the factory settings. On the other hand, the behavior is kinda "ok" (with relatively brief lags) in the portrait mode though.

I also tried turning sound, vibrate, quick fixes, suggestions etc. OFF but still to no avail. Is this 800Mhz all about! M I the only one who is facing this problem? Being a heavy texter this thing is big pain to me. Kindly help me out. Also, will the rumored update to 2.0 be solving this issue! Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance...

Same here. The typing in landscape mode is very slow. Portrait typing is fine

It's a software bug. Newer firmwares fix it. Or you can wait for 2.0.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure it's a software bug and will be fixed in 2.0.

BTW my f/w version is 1.5 & Baseband Version : I5700DDIK2. (India Region)

100% sure. We have a hungarian forum with over 2300 posts about this phone, and some users upgraded their firmware with I5700XEIL5 (might not work for your region, i won't take any responsibility), and that fixed the problem.

Does anyone know if the leaked version of Swype can be used on the Galaxy Spica? Or has anyone tried the alternatives like SlideIt?

 

[kenmak]

Both of them worked in Spica

upgrade fimrware
then get a taskiller, and make sure you close any apps running in the bacnkground

Is this official firmware you are referring to? From the Samsung site?

Hi,

As u would have noticed, I earlier had issues while typing on my i5700, now surprisingly everything works like a charm. I upgraded to the latest I570EXXJC3 and there are no more such issues. Please try upgrading urs as well

Additionally, my issue was not resolved until I moved from v1.5 (aka cupcake) to the v2.1 (aka eclair). I tried few v1.5 f/ws but the issue was still there with those. So, please consider upgrading to v2.1 only.
