Eris keyboard still lags on 2.1. Are you kidding me?

So I'm posting because there's a little something about these 2.1 leaks that really brought me down. A lot was fixed, that i know, and for the general speed and smooth operation of the phone upon updating I am eternally grateful.

But come on, why is the TouchInput (stock) keyboard still laggy? You'd think the first thing on the dev agenda would be to speed up one of the most important parts of a touch screen phone: the input interface. We have 5 physical buttons for Chrissake, help a guy out a little!

I know I know, this isn't the finished product yet, but it's just one of those things that shouldn't have been a problem to begin with, or at least a quickly patched problem. Also, I have this bad feeling that the OTA will neglect fixing this very thing.

Oh well, one can only hope this gets fixed.
 
I'm with you on this one. I think its more due to how long the touch input for the "buttons" is displayed/registering because I find myself mistyping a lot. I see it when I move to the next letter when using 2 hands to type; if I type too "fast" (normal speed actually) some letters don't register because it thinks I am pressing too many letters at once. It sucks because typing on this phone is such a chore that I get mad when I have to reply to someone so I usually just call them LoL.

I have an iPod Touch that I use regularly and the touch keys are soooo much better on it.

Love the phone though!

Yes...
Setting -> Sound and Display -> Haptic Feedback.

Its about half way down the screen!
Good Luck!!

I think that turns of the feedback on the soft keys.

The vibrate and sound settings for the keyboard are under Settings > Language & Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input. They are at the bottom of the first visible part of the screen.

Thank you both. I have it everything unchecked, but it still vibrates (keypad dialer only). Oh well.

I'm sorry, I did not see that you were talking about the dialer keypad...my bad!

In that case I do not know, my dialer vibes too...:thinking:

I turned it off on mine, but now I can't remember or figure out how I did it. I am heavily medicated right now, I may be able to remember when my head clears.

I often keep my head up my own A** and it prevents me from reading entire posts...I saw "haptic feedback" and was like "woo hoo, I know this one"...:D
