[Q] Lag when typing in whatsapp? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've been having issues for a while when typing in whatsapp. When I first start typing everything is ok. But after a while, the keyboard becomes progressively laggier and reaches the point in which it is unusable because it doesn't register the letters correctly, it's like it can't keep up and only registers a few letters of the words or overwrites letters typed before. Deleting takes long too. Everything just stops working actually and I'm forced to go type somewhere else and come back and paste it in whatsapp.
Has anyone had this? I'm using the stock keyboard but have tried changing to google keyboard when I'm starting to see the lag and that keyboard just continues with the lag process. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm having input lag also. But not as worse as yours, but whatsapp just can't keep up with my speed of typing, while in Hangouts, I do not have such problems. It's just getting sluggish with typing.....Don't know the solution as neither whatsapp and swiftkey are responding to my mails....With another keyboard I do not have this problem

Which rom version are you using?
No lag here with official h.

Try using seeder app... it may solve this proble.

I got the same problem for my Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo... I touch a letter and lags before actually typing it.
In the default messaging app of the phone I don't have this issue...
Well sry, got no solution atm. Just complaining !!

Whatsapp Lag

For all you whatsapp users, do you notice any lag when using the app itself? Whether it be switching between conversations or just loading the app in general? The biggest issue I see is typing to people, it lags really bad and is quite annoying. I've tried several roms / using a clean whatsapp installation but they all did the same thing.
Nope. No lag on 4.0.4. If you want lag (when opening, that is) try the WP7 client.
Be thankful.
Hmm what rom are you running? Did you change any specific settings?
i have a stock galaxy nexus (international GSM) and its also very laggy. especially when typing on the keyboard the keys can't keep up, its pretty annoying and would love to know if there is a fix for this.
imo also lags when typing.
running 4.0.4
Solution.

Did U in Stock Rom or Custom ??
please give any specification detail.. for ur Q..
i don't know if this is related but i had a similar problem on my Nexus One. What happened was Whatsapp's data was getting too big. I had to clear the data and lose all my current chats, but this fixed the unresponsiveness.
No problems so far with my Galaxy Nexus.
When you clear all your chats do you get removed from your group messages as well?

i have the same typing issue/laggs with my Stock 4.1.2 nexus here. Do you found any solutions ?
The laggs starting when i send more then 4 or 5 messages one after another, very annoying -.-
(newes Whatsapp version is installed)
Not for me, at all.
Have you tried turning on forced GPU rendering in developer options? I know it at leat helps making the scrolling smoother in WhatsApp.

[Q] Scrolling lag for some apps.

Hi guys I have lag while scrolling up and down in some apps and I want to know if there is a fix for this annoying thing.
I've tried a lot of custom rom (samsung based) and kernel so I think is not this the problem. I installed the App seeders too, but nothing.
No lag for contacts, gallery, menu, etc... Only for this apps:
-facebook
-tapatalk
-ebay
-amazon
If there is someone else who have my problem please post here. So I understand is not my own problem.
I'm aloooooone...

i have one. its the stock messaging app from official samsung ROM. this happened after i flashed the official 4.1.2 from France DLL4, since i cannot wait for the OTA updates. i'm from PH btw.
anyone having the same problem after updating to 4.1.2?
Try scrolling cache. It's an option in omega, but I'm not sure if anyone posted it as a standalone mod on xda yet.

Its not matter of ram, its just correct optimization from specific apps developers for our big screen

Its not the matter of big screen also. I have sgr it lags in it also though i m using cm 10.1 in it with projet butter and i have seen s2 also it lags the size of the doesn't matters at all.
So we had to wait upgrade for the applications.
Apple store in this is better than play store. At The moment.
I hope that in the future this will exchange.
But apple had only 3 device to follow. Android have a lot of device to set. This is the problem.
There are seemingly MANY unoptimized apps. The one that sticks out like a sore thumb is WhatsApp which, without fail, will stutter when scrolling through my chat list.

Note 2 and SwiftKey.

Hi guys.
Anyone got serious and annoying lag on the latest SwiftKey? It's so unfortunate, on my GNex it still runs as smooth as butter and no lag but on 2 different note 2 handsets it just runs like a dog. Laggy touches and it'll slow and catch up. Soooo frustrating...
Any help would be appreciated on this one. It almost takes the enjoyment out of having this lovely fast phone and a beautiful screen to thumb type with...
Cheers.

I too have it but barely noticable!
I guess its because its learnt too many custom words from my sms's.
Long time Swype beta user, I converted to the newest version of the SwiftKey out of pure curiosity, and after trying for some days found that this is a keeper, and it is so fast when I open it and no problems whatsoever with this keyboard, I use also the default keyboard for hand writing with the spen board switcher, just amazing experience, so far. Btw I am using 240 dpi.
About your problem, try cleaning cache plus dalvik cache and reinstalling one or 2 times plus reboot. Hope this will help.

Same here.
In Hebrew if I flow more than 2 words it stops understanding what I flow, so I don't have THAT problem. On English its pretty annoying..
This happens sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't even disappear or anything like that because it's stuck. Only thing you can do, I imagine, is clear cache, and start again. Pain in the butt! But hey... it's all you can do ATM.
Happens with me too. When too many processes are running in the background, it sort of lags sometimes. Also it has crashed on me twice till now. Not much but just putting it here. You can try clearing the cache and see if that helps in any way!
unlink it from your SMS , facebook and twitter.
I use Swiftkey and no lags at all.
Thanks for all your replies guys.
Yeah have emailed them and got the usual. We work on improving it all the time blah blah. She said to use a task killer... Strange as we all know this isn't the best way to handle memory any more. That'll just ruin things more. Anyway...
Yeah I don't have it linked to any of my accounts, I don't have twitter ect anyway so I don't know what's causing the lag. I wish it was as smooth as my GNex... I don't understand, this phone is twice the specs and it lags on a keyboard, weird...
Sent from LV-426...
Strange, I never had the problem and I use Swiftkey for 3 months (with stock and dualnote roms (actually))
I think you should try to install again your rom, maybe you have some files corrupted and it makes it laggy.
If you are root, you can also try to use Greenify to decrease your ram usage or/and remove some app activities to disable autostart of them. (autostart or system tools app can do that)
Oh ok thanks man.
Yeah I haven't rooted yet. Going to but haven't got around to it haha. So fully stock and I'm having these issues. It's not unusable is just slower than it should be. And my GNex runs it perfect. It's strange.
Sent from LV-426...
Strange indeed, SwiftKey is an app I've never had issues or freezes with, and I restore it with data with TB on new roms like once a month.

Wow all I can say is that Swiftkey has been giving me lags ALL The time. I'm on MC3 and I"m not sure if it's the update or the program, but I have even reset to factory, started anew, backed up, cleared cache and then restored, I've tried EVERYTHING. Still laggy as hell and then buttery smooth at other times. Strange.
I noticed at times that it took a while or the keyboard won't show up at all. I was using latest Samsung Rom based on xxdmc3 with both Swype and swiftkey. I'm now on ARHD and its doing fine so far. Somehow I think the issue it with the libraries that calls for the keyboard to pop up when needed, and not necessarily from the keyboard app.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
is there an option to use one keyboard for S-pen and another for key-press... like stock for s pen and swiftkey for hand writing??
I've a problem with Swiftkey on Quicksheet (from QuickOffice Pro) either on stock Polaris View :
When I have modified a cell, I can't modify a new one. These softwares freeze. And with the stock Samsung one all is ok.
Have you been facing this ?
Thanks

Is there any reason to use Swiftkey over Swype Beta? Because Swype works for me flawlessly and I have Swiftkey on my GNex and it seems to me that Swype is quite superior to Swiftkey?
Thanks again guys for your feedback.
Yeah I get all that bad stuff. As I've said I've emailed SwiftKey and they haven't helped me at all. Really disappointed.
I get laggy input and keyboard bring up is sometimes slow too. Geez, this device is quad core and should fly compared to my GNex... My GNex runs it like butter. Never misses a beat. Really confusing.

[Q] Is anyone else experiencing Dolphin Browser locking up on Note 3?

Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

Have you tried to send a bug report to Dolphin Team?
You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.
I often do this to make Dolphin realize my issue and fix it.

[Q] Screen Flickering while Typing

All the Devs and Experience people out there. Need Urgent Support.
I need your help, because I am facing with a very irritating problem on my new Note 3 Neo which I just bought 2 days back. I noticed that I am having a screen flicker while SWIPING (Not Typing) and only swiping in apps, various apps like whatsapp, sms & other msging apps.
The screen just flickers (moves towards right & comes back) in a nano micro second. It is so fast that, with a blink of an eye, it can be missed.
I need your guidance on how to resolve this issue? Is it a Hardware issue or a Software Problem? Can it be repaired via OTA Update or kitkat update which is coming through very soon hopefully.
Shall I go to the Store from where I just bought or to service centre??

I noticed that this happened in my Note 3 neo only if I am using the action memo in the background ,
such as if I want to copy a name and number from action memo to contacts , but typing works without any flickering in any app without

Story of my Life with Note 3 Neo
Apologies for posting it late here.
After the purchase of my new NOTE 3 Neo, when i noticed this, I couldnt resist coz the problem just increased tremendously after using it with SWYPE keyboard. So couldnt tolerate it and went to Samsung Customer Care after 3 days. There I showed them the problem, they formatted the system, installed a new one, and then called me, and then also i showed them the same problem. They got convinced easily that the problem was there so they gave me a DOA, which is the Samsung policy to change the faulty product within 7 days of purchase.
So got a new NOTE 3 Neo phone again from the same store and after opening the same, I found the same problem there also. :crying:
Hence came to know that either the problem is in that particular lot, or the OS (v 4.3)
I really wish if someone can really try Swype keyboard or Samsung Swipe feature of the keyboard on SMS or WhatsApp , and let me know if you are also facing the same issue. Use it efficiently for while, then you come to know.
NOTE: Please make sure you SWIPE / SWYPE, and not TYPE.
@arunkareer
I'm facing same issue and just living with it. It seems like a firmware glitch or bug or some issue with Samsung keyboard itself. May be an update for keyboard or Samsung update should fix it ?
I found this update for note 3 keyboard
I wish this can help solving this issue .
Note : You have to restart the phone after installation .
