Slow Keyboard fix

So i have 2.02 and i still have the slow keyboard. I found an easier fix than restarting though. If you exit SMS, play a song for sec or 2 in the ipod function, and then return to the SMS the keyboard miraculously works.

Heh, this is actually getting comical if not downright absurd.
I thought this level of half-assed fixes died with the original Nintendo when you had to push the cartridge in halfway to get it to work.
Way to go Apple! Great product.

  • Slow keyboard in iOS 6/iPhone5?

    Been playing with my new 32 GB black/slate iPhone 5 (AT&T) and have noticed the keyboard is....terrible. It's incredibly slow - i consider myself a fast typer. I confirmed with my wife's iPhone 4S still on iOS 5.1.1 that it was in fact something new on either the version of iOS 6 the iPhone 5 is running out of the gate or some weird hardware thing (doubtful it's the latter).
    Quite simply, typing anything at any worthwhile speed system wide takes a solid ~25% longer as keys are constantly missed. Anyone else noticing this?

    yes. Im having the same exact issue. Keyboard on iPhone 5 is slow, skips spaces and letters.. Judging by other posts https://discussions.apple.com/message/19659614#19659614 and earlier phones updated to iOS 6 having same issue, we can confirm its an OS issue and hopefully they come out with a fix reaaaal soon

  • Delayed/slow keyboard.(3G)

    My phone has lately been doing this thing where the keyboard slows down considerably and types very slow. I tap a key, and the letter shows up seconds later. This has made texting difficult.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? Any advice on how to fix it?

    the whole phone is laggy. the OS is very slow on this iphone compared to my last.
    i load ipod and it takes 3x longer then old phone for music to display...when i load contacts it takes a few seconds to show my contacts.
    its just a horribly slow experience in general.

  • BT Infinity 20Mbps slower after fixing BT Vision

    Hello
    I had BT infinity & BT Vision installed about 3 weeks ago. 
    Speed estimate said 48Mbps. After install i got a solid 52Mbps which i was very happy with Also had BT vision installed at the same time which i didnt actually use until about 1 week ago. 
    When i tried using the BT vision the multicast channels - BBC 1 HD etc wouldn't work, it would take 30 - 60 seconds to get a picture. Obviously something was wrong. 
    I rang BT to after some tests escalated to level 2 support. An engineer turned up a few days later although when he went to test it everything worked perfectly. He said BT probably adjusted settings on their end which fixed it. 
    I tried a speed test straight away and my speed had dropped from 50 to 30 Mbps. Its been the same since and speaking to BT they don't really care as its within limits. 
    Would anyone be able to explain the drop in speed?
    btw - I'm not talking about while i am watching TV on the vision box then its even slower...
    Same with a wired or wireless connection.
    Also my stats below seem to be different from others i've seen with the difference between max connection and actual download. Any comments appreciated

    I've just noticed the same thing with me.
    I have a Draytek router, and its data flow monitor is showing a constant downloading at around 20mbps, whether I'm watching any IP channels on Vision or not. Broadband speed does not go higher than 20Mbps or so.
    What is this and why is it happening?

  • Slow keyboard using work's Wi-Fi

    Just curious, but when I'm at work using the Wi-Fi connection the key board response is very slow. It takes about half a second for each keystroke to be entered. I can literally lift my finger off the key and it will be highlighted or enlarged for a moment before I can type another letter. I don't have this problem at any other time whether using EDGE or my home Wi-Fi.
    Would the Wi-Fi speed make a difference in keyboard response before I hit "done" or enter? It's happened every time I've used it at work.

    Well a corolation between keyboard and WiFi seems very unlikely as I cannot think of why there would be link, save one (maybe).
    Do you know what type of network is being ran at your work, Ethernet (your standard LAN)?
    If someother network that creates a lot more network load (just thining of ARCNet or something) that requires each computer connected to it to do something, the iPhone may be getting tons of network calls that is causing the phone to process a lot of info it is not really meant to be doing.
    Outside of that, really cannot think of anything. I would suggest a true reboot and test again.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

  • Lion is slow, unresponsive - fixes?

    Hello all,
    I've gone through several topics simialar to this one, but cannot seem to see an answer.
    System:
    MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7  with 8GB of 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM
    500GB HD, partitioned with 400GB to OSX and 100GB to BootCamp for Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
    Challenges:
    The system has a pretty slow start-up to get "warm", or ready to run applications.  As I attempt to access menus and such, the lag time between click and action is beyond anything I have ever seen.  Sometimes even several seconds.
    I need to use virtualization to work in Windows and OSX at the same time.  My VM was Fusion 4, and I am now trying Parellels 7.  The VM is built to use just under 4GB of RAM - making a 4/4 split for each OS.
    History:
    This system was an upgrade installation from a previous OSX 10.6 install, whcih was in turn an upgrade from 10.5
    Attempted Fixes:
    1) reset SMC
    2) verified permissions and disk health both inside and outside the OS (via the Utility/Revovery partition)
    3) used CleanMyMac to remove several older Applications that I no longer use and/or that were Universal Apps
    What I am trying to avoid:
    I don't want to scrub the system and re-install everything.  Mostly, becuase I have serveral dozen Apps and re-installing them would be time-consuming to say the least.  I'm also not sure what would happen to my Boot Camp partition and I want to keep it.
    So.... I am wondering if there is a way to re-install LION without removing my BootCamp parition, documents, and Applications.
    I do have a Time Machine back-up of the system and will resort to a full re-build if it comes down to it, but that is one of the reasons I moved from Windows - I don't want to have to do complete re-installs of the OS every 6 months.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions that you can provide.  I'm also going to try to adjust my VM settings to a 3/5 split to give OSX a little more room.  However, even if the VM isn't running OSX can be slow.... so I'm not holding my breath on that fix.

    If you restart in Safe Boot mode then continue to log into your User's account is safe boot, do you see a difference?
    *  shutdown
    *  start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
    *  after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
    *  keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
    *  now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
    *  eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT
    These are some of the items disabled on safe boot:
    Disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts
    It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/
    Disables all startup items and login items
    To continue troubleshooting see this link. It includes help for Microsoft Office, but covers steps to eliminate the source of the problem for Macs.

  • Possible Keyboard Fix

    Hey all,
    As with most of you, I'm experiencing the same issues with both my mouse and keyboard not pairing after changing batteries. I spoke with my tech guy at work and he knows of the problem and told me how to fix it - which I tried but couldn't do it. So I brought them into work and gave then to my tech guy just to see if they would pair with another Mac G5. He was having the same problem but was able to get them to pair. This is what he did -
    1. Ran the BT set up.
    2. When he made it to the enter passkey and typed in the PK but it didn't work, he would hit the continue button, turn the keyboard off/on super fast and retype in the PK.
    After a few times, it worked. He also suggested pulling the batteries out and placing them back in in the middle of the process. He doesn't know why this works other then saying "it's finicky".
    Just one other note. He got my mouse to connect with no problem. I couldn't at home. I'm writing this at work and will try this solution tonight and let everyone know if it works for me.
    Hope this helps

    Well, I went home and paired my mouse and keyboard with no problem at all. I didn’t have to do the on/off trick or anything special, they just paired. I did the mouse first. The only thing that I can think of why I didn’t have any issues pairing are:
    1. The batteries were taken out and put back in when both the mouse and keyboard were paired earlier today at work.
    2. Somehow both devices were affected by being paired with a different machine.
    3. I don't think this has any effect but I’ll mentioned it anyways. I have an airport express and sometimes it doesn’t show up on my computer and I have to pull/reattach the plug for it to show up. Well the AE wasn’t showing up when I went to do the BT assistant.
    Hope others can resolve their BT issues.

  • Slow Playback Fixed

    I scoured the web and forums for a solutions and found nada.
    Came across "radman" in one forum who said the problem lies in the
    'Audio Hardware' section under Preferences. I remembered I had installed
    a 3rd party Audio plugin for the OS called 'DPS' - which is great by the way.
    I changed the output from Built-In to DPS and now it's perfect, including the video playback which
    was also slow. Try changing your output and see if it works.

    I had the same problem, but never knew it was because of the pedometer. It would start skipping and slowing the beat after a few minutes of running. I tried all different kinds of arm bands or putting it in my pocket, because I thought it was because of the movement. I saw this comment, though, and just ran without the pedometer, and it works like a charm. I'm not sure the fix for this, but it sure defeats the purpose of a pedometer. good luck.

  • 3gs slow keyboard on iOs 5.1.1

    Hello all Apple Support Community..
    I have an iPhone 3gs updated from 4.3.3 to 5.1.1.. I experiencing keyboard lag issue after updated my phone..
    After one letter is typed i have to wait around one minute until it's popped out so i could proceed to the next letter.. Any kind soul out there knows how to fix this problem?

    Did you already reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software.

  • HP Pavilion dm1 - 1102ea - cost to get "y" and "o" on keyboard fixed out of warranty?

    i wanted to contact hp directly but can't seem to find hardware support only software. My "Y" and "O" were pulled off by my 2 year old boy and wanted to know how much it would cost to get them fixed. they still work it's just the buttons that have fallen off and they are not the type to just click back on otherwise i wouldn't be wasting everyone's time asking this. if anyone can help or if anyone from hp sees this please feel to comment/message. thanks all and happy new year

    I have never come across where the keys can not be put back in place, there must be something broken or HP has changed the design _ again.
     It may be easier to replace the keyboard, HP doesn't sell just the keys.

  • DC7700 VPRO Slow Imaging Fix

    Morning All,
    If you have Patrick Farrell's initrd witch works with the HP DC7700
    machines and they are painfully slow to image or even load the RAM disk
    then the fix is below. I think the slowness is due to the VPRO technology.
    Anyway, just flash your BIOS to a later version. I used v2.09 from the HP
    site and the machine now really cranks.
    I do get a Management Engine error in the POST, but i thing this is just
    another BIOS upgrade that I am yet to investigate.
    Cheers

  • Slow Keyboard Response

    I'm developing applications in flex and notice there is a
    slow response from text input boxes that sometimes miss keystrokes.
    This is particularly noticeable in login entry forms where keying
    in username / password which is normally done very rapidly, will
    often miss key strokes.
    I've tried upping the frameRate to 60 in the application,
    however this does not seem to improve the situation.
    I'm just starting to develop a new web content application
    that will require lots of keying, and this response issue will kill
    the usability.
    Cheers,
    ap

    Vygo,
    Are you experiencing the problem on a Vista Machine? I was
    suspicious that it's a potential problem with Vista and not so much
    Flex.
    On google I found others who had reported keyboard response
    issues with Vista. I did a regedit patch but that has not solved my
    problem.
    I'll do some more testing on one of XP machines and make
    sure.

  • Slow keyboard response safari

    Hello!
    Upgraded to Mavericks OS X 10.9 on my 2011 Imac 2.7 GHz i5 and now have trouble entering text into Safari browser search/website entry.  If say I want to enter a website or search phrase only the first letter appears initially followed by a 5 second or so pause and then I can complete the entry.  Also noticing slow or "jerky" functions such as adding new tabs opening favorites etc.  Any clues?
    Thanks!

    jpplumbing -
    Couple things that might be causing this.
    1. Go into App Store and make sure there's no updates to Mavericks or Safari.  Apple usually releases updates after updates fixing bugs in new software.  If Safari has an update take it - as much as I love Apple, if you don't have most up-to-date software you're in trouble.
    2. Go check out Activity Monitor and see what your computer is doing - might have a lot of stuff running in the background.  Activity Monitor is in Applications/Utilities/
    3.  Reset Safari - from menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari (check everything, except maybe Remove saved names and passwords)
    Other way of resetting Safari, which could possibly be more thorough:
    Click on the hard drive icon located on the desktop.
    Browse to Users > (Users Home) > Library > Safari folder.
    Drag every file but "Bookmarks.plist" into the trash.
    Browse to Users > (User Home) > Library > Preferences.
    Locate "com.apple.Safari.plist", "com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist", and "com.apple.internetconfig.plist" and drag them to the trash. If "com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist does not exist, ignore it and just trash the other two files.
    Safari should now be back to factory default status.

  • New Santa Rosa - Slow Keyboard Typing

    I have another issue with the brand new MBP. Today for some reason, the keyboard has become very slow at keeping up with my typing. When I have a string of characters to erase with the backspace key, it is very slow erasing them. When I use the down arrow, to scroll down a web page, it is very slow scrolling and jerky. Has anyone seen this issue?

    Ahh, just like Windows. I solved this problem with a simple reboot.
