Hey, i have a sprint galaxy note 4, rooted, and i am experiencing some serious keyboard issues. please note that i was experiencing this issue before i rooted, but i had previously assumed it was the screen protector, which i have since removed. every once in a while the keyboard seems to do its own thing. ill be typing and the trail jumps right to the edge of the screen. this makes texting and entering passwords damn near impossible. any ideas? because i cannot deal with this.
Maybe clear cache and data on the keyboard and reboot?
I have tried three different keyboards, clearing cache and dalvik, factory reset, Odin to stock. It's not just the keyboard it makes scrolling in lists all wonky too. Taking out the battery and sim for 5 Minutes makes it happen less often but it still happens and it's aggravating

I apologize if this has been answered before but I have a strange issue with my phone while typing. I often switch between CM7 and MIUI and I experience this problem on both ROMS. Sometimes, the keyboard will begin missing almost half off the letters that I touch. It almost feels like the Gingerbread keyboard has lost its multitouch capability. I don't always experience this issue, however it seems to occur at random times and a restart normally fixes this issue. Sometimes it only takes a minute or two before this issue begins, sometimes it works with no problems for a day or two. I have factory reset my phone as well as cleared cache and dalvik but the problem always comes back.
Does this appear to be a hardware issue or do others experience this problem.
This is my 4th Evo and I know this did not occur on any of the other Evo's that I owned. The current one I have is Rev003.
Is your haptic feedback for the keyboard turned off? Cause for me it always seemed to cause lag. If that'd doesn't work you can always use a different keyboard such as swype or swiftkey

i have had this happen in the past, and i dont remember what i did to solve it, i think there may have been a app hogging the resources causing all other aspects of the phone to lag
The answer is low memory. install advanced task killer app and when that happens, run it and clear all the junk and boom. everything will be fast again. lol. all solved. :-D

No no no...android has built in task management and advanced task killer will Jack up ur phone. Look for supercharger in the evo general section. Following the ops links in 1st thread to the main thread. Use the update 9 and then run with script manager. Use aggressive #2 and then enjoy ur non lagging phone. The script pretty much reorganizes the way ur memory is handled.
free the dirk

Task killers are for people on 2.1 and lower, or people that have no idea how to work their phone.
Good try, though.
OP, I had a very similar issue recently, but it has gone away. I would be typing and the keyboard would stop registering what I was typing, so I'd stop typing. A second or two later it would catch up all at once, you could feel the haptic feedback going nuts. I have my haptic feedback turned down about as low as it will go while still being able to feel it. I don't know if that matters. It also happened across multiple keyboards.
I believe it stopped doing it after my most recent full wipe. I stay on MIUI & just do updates, so I try to do a full wipe every 3-4 weeks. Try that, wiping cache/dalvik might not be enough.

Keyboard lag
I do not have haptic feedback on and I do regularly factory restore. I have experienced this problem before immediately after completing a new install.
I thought it may have something to do with being a memory leak but I haven't experienced this issue on any other Evo I have tried. Also, I don't see any performance issues anywhere else with the phone. Only the keyboard experiences this issue.
I haven't tried using a different keyboard as I really like the gingerbread keyboard. I will try another for testing purposes next time it happens but I don't want to have to switch.
And I'm going to stay away from task managers as they can do more harm than good. I'm just trying to find out if others experience this issue and what they have done to fix the problem. I didn't know if it could possibly be a hardware issue with the touchscreen.
Like I have said clearing cache, dalvik cache, and factory defaults have not fixed the problem. Is there anything I may be missing?
Hello,
I have a S2 SGH-T989, and I recently installed the Darkside Evolution ICS Rom. It works beautifully, with a couple of annoyances: the only one that is somewhat intolerable is that the phone and contacts apps are very slow to load.
When I click on the phone on my home screen, it highlights it with a light blue background, but then takes > 5 seconds to pull up the keypad and phone application. Similar behavior happens with the contacts application. Even worse, when I start hitting numbers on the keypad, it doesn't register or display those numbers as I'm dialing them for > 3 seconds. Once it's caught up to my typing, it seems to work fairly well, but this is intolerable, since I can't see what I'm typing, and phone numbers are so short that I usually end up typing the first 3 or 4 numbers, waiting for it to bring up my contact associated with that number, and then selecting one, when the process should take only as much time as it takes me to type the numbers.
I have tried wiping the Dalvik cache, but to no avail. I have not yet tried reinstalling the ROM, as that does tend to be quite a bit of work to set up all of my home screens and such (as well as restoring data from my SD card, etc..), so I'd like to avoid that if possible. However, if it's going to fix this problem, I'll happily do that to avoid the annoyances I'm dealing with at the moment.
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this issue, or whether others have had this issue and have found something that helps with it.
Thanks!

Try flashing the cache wipe.zip

By the cache wipe.zip, do you mean the super wipe that came with the rom? Or where do I get the wipe.zip from?
Thanks,
Does anyone's S6 edge have this problem where you are typing a text, at least 10 words long or more, and the screen don't recognize touch input just once, but it happens every 15 to 20 words? Its freaking annoying and I've since switched to the google keyboard and this problem don't happen as much, but the problem is still there, its caused me to misspell at least 7 words so far that the keyboard has auto corrected. This is so damn annoying and I hope I'm the only one that has this problem that way I can take this phone back and get it replaced.
I guess I'm the only one
Happens to me sometimes, but not all the time. It's probably a RAM problem. I usually clean/close some opened apps with Cleanmaster to prevent lag. Hope the next update will fix memory management problem.
I'm on Android 5.1.1 and it supposedly has fixed the RAM issue and the problem still exists. I don't think it's a RAM issue. I think it's a software issue that when you type too fast it stops recognizing the presses. Hapes mainly with the backspace key. If I tap that button like 20 times it will stop pressing it no matter how hard I press.
I want to say this is a Edge thing not a S6 thing.
Try a different keyboard from play store, also try closing apps in background.
I haven't noticed the ever on this incredible phone.
Running stock no root yet, with 3 pages of apps disabled.
Pp.
I apologize for resurrecting this thread but, I've been searching for a while with no avail. Since I've upgraded to 5.1.1 I've been experiencing this issue. Has anyone in the time of this thread found a possible fix for this?
I've tried multiple things, maybe going to have to resort to cleaning up with a factory reset.
This phone is so beautiful, yet functions like a POS, minus the camera. It just sits on desk collecting dust. I too have the aforementioned issue, along with dozens of others. First phone I've ever regretted buying.
So I have a really strange thing going on with edge lighting which is driving me crazy.
Whenever I play Elder Scrolls Blades the edge lighting appears but only in the bottom of the screen. As far as I been able to tell this only happens in this app though I can't be 100% sure.
Now what is strange other than it happens only in the bottom of the screen is that it keeps happening every few seconds, there is no notifications received and it happens, if I disable edge lighting it still happens, no matter to what effect I set the lighting it always happens in stock blue.
I can't possibly figure out what is this and I tried everything, any ideas would be appreciated.
Same thing here, in at least 2 games...
Thought it was related to spen, but it seems not...
Tried to disable Game Launcher but still got these random bottom screen notification pulse... And stock blue aswell. Got no clue atm
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I tried literally everything and nothing seems to fix it. What's also weird is that the lighting comes in irregular intervals, sometimes just going crazy and sometimes appearing much less.
I have just discovered this issue appears in all games so it's a bigger problem then I originally thought. If disabling the game launcher does nothing then it makes it even more strange and annoying.
Yeah, same here, happens on basically all the games.
Maybe related to game booster?
Let's try to compare our setup : are you using any notification enhancement app? (like aodNotify)
Are you using your spen while playing?
But yeah, this random glow line **** is driving me crazy too!
Currently I am using aodNotify though I tried uninstalling it and the problem persists, I also have goodlock installed and the edgeslighting+, same thing with and without it. I am not using the spen, but I have tried just taking it out while the game is running and leaving it out for 5 mins, no change. I have disabled and enabled the stock edge lighting as well and the problem is still there. Nothing seems to effect it. Its ridiculous
i tried on mobile legend adventure, no problem on it, perhaps a scaling issue?
Will try to tweak full screen mode.
Increasing dpi doesn't change the weird thing, neither switching from Samsung stock launcher to Nova...
Also I'm using gestures based navbar, but I also tried with or without tips display, standard navbar... Still occurring.
Did you go from a scratch Note 10+ or used SideSync to switch? (I was coming from a Note 8)
I don't think it has anything to do with scaling, I tried setting the game on full screen and automatic, both giving the same results.
I used Smartswitch from Note 9.
Later today the camera effect from aodnotify started appearing in the game aswell (landscape mode), along with the edge lighting.?
I uninstalled aodnotify afterwards, found out there is a aodnotify Manager plugin which stays after uninstalling the main app.
Uninstalled the plugin aswell, opened edgescreen from the system app and cleared cache.
It was showing the app was using RAM with high frequency.
I don't have the time to check now does this fix the problem but will let you know once I do.
The only other thing left to do if this doesn't work is to clear edge screen data.
Will try this aswell, and restore all the notifications and edge lightning settings...
What I wrote above didn't work so I disabled the option for edge screen to show on top of other apps, so far this seems to fix the problem.
Unfortunately I was wrong and nothing above fixes the problem. I also wiped the entire edge screen memory, no effect. This is the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my years of Samsung phones and it's extremely annoying that there is no fix.
Strange, I don't have any issue.
Did you try with and without locking the screen orientation to see if edge lightning follows settings as it should?
I personally only use auto orientation.
I also use auto rotation and it happens the same way in landscape and portrait, the most annoying thing is that it happens really much, like 2-3 times in 10 seconds, or sometimes doesn't happen for few minutes then starts going like crazy, and as I said before there is no notifications or anything.
Same here, auto rotate on, only occurring during games.
I don't even know if I can debug which process is running these random edge notifications, without dig into tons of log files...
And if not, I guess I'll try to factory reset and re-sync again..
Its incredible that a factory reset seems like only possible solution left but I hope maybe some future update will fix it since I hate doing factory reset. Please keep me posted if you discover anything new.
Hating doing it aswell but this is too damn annoying..
If no clue, I'll go for a restore without restoring system settings... Maybe some notifications behaviors have been messed up
I'll keep you in touch for sure
Tried to wipe cache partition, still no clues...
Did this also got triggered in portrait mode game?
So confusing...
Yes it happens in all games no matter of the screen orientation. I really have no more ideas aswell
Got some news, another post is talking about this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-blue-bar-games-t3963939
Seems related to the new game booster feature "temp and cpu monitoring"
Will try to disable this for a specific game and see...
Does anyone else get intermittent freezing where the entire phone becomes unresponsive for like 30 seconds? It's not affecting any specific apps, but it does seem to happen often when I'm pressing the home or back button on the navigation bar. Also happens when pressing send in messaging apps. Sometimes it results in ANR, other times it will unfreeze without giving a crash dialog.
Could it possibly be tied to battery optimization and putting apps in deep sleep? I've had this problem on both my Note 10+ and S20 Ultra. Did not have an issue on my Note 8.
Steps taken to remedy situation (but did not fix the problem):
Factory reset
Clear partition cache
Running phone in safe mode (worked, but did not help with determining exact problem)
Setting battery settings to High Performance
Wiping app caches
Stopped using SwiftKey (but still seeing crashes on Samsung Keyboard and Gboard)
Unchecked "Put unused apps to sleep"
Unchecked "Adaptive Battery" setting
YES. This has been happening to me for 6 months now and its trying me crazy. On my ATT Note 20 Ultra. Even after factory reset it eventually came back. I feel like its a hardware problem to be honest because it seems to happy when the CPU or Memory is overloaded or working hard. For example, 2 times I can make it happen is when I update 10+ apps from the playstore and try to do anything else, or when I first turn on my phone and its launching all the startup apps.
Not sure what to do, maybe get a replacement from Samsung or ATT? Just hate having to format yet again.
On thing that did help is yesterday I bought the cloud version of Samsung Package Disabler (i bought these thing like 4 times over the years but thats another story) and I disabled 50 apps that I dont need to run but I dont like the hassle of uninstalling and then reinstalling and the passwords etc. Anyways it def has lessened the issue. Which again is why I think its a hardware problem. Since I lessened the apps running in the background it has lessened the issue.
Anyways if you have any updates on your end please let me know, thanks!
