I have a CDMA Hero and when ever I type in landscape, the on screen keyboard is really laggy. The portrait keyboard is fine. I use handcent sms and I've tried to turn off sound and vibration still no luck. I've tried to use the default messaging app and its the same...any solutions?

I've tried use the stock HTC keyboard and better keyboard with no luck, both still lag while in landscape mode.

I have rooted the phone and flashed Fresh 2.0d.

Try Swype. It is a great alternative to the stock keyboards. I tried it and I won't go back to stock

Here is the link to the apk

I've heard nothing but great things.. I think I might actually put this bad boy on my SD card tonight and give it a go



Don't put it on your card.... About 3 or 4 posts down on the linked thread, there is an apk. download it and plug your phone in. turn on sync and open up the download folder, double click it and it will install right to your phone for you.... super easy.

EDIT-

Better yet, here is the apk, just download it and follow instructions above

I'm running Fresh 2.0d as well and do not experience any keyboard lag in the least bit. Could you describe your usage while experiencing the aforementioned problem?

Basically when the phone is in landscape mode and i try to type, the keyboard takes a while to catch up to what I'm typing...I've had this problem with my Touch Pro 2 as well.

All you have is landscape keyboard lag? Consider yourself lucky buddy. Can't wait til this weekend!

What is this weekend?

I tried Swype for windows mobile and I didn't like it much.

The lag is ridiculous typing on forums. Sometimes I want to reply but can't be bothered with the lag. I try to stay in portrait because it seems to help. Vibration needs to be off to avoid extreme lag. The new leak looks like it was addressed slightly because the lag is not as bad but still there.
