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

  • 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.

  • Big problem with keyboard, too slow because of IOS 7.1

    When I press a letter in the virtual keyboard or aloso with a bluetooth keyboard, the letter appear 12 seconds after !!!
    Please do an update, I can't use my iPad anymore with a slow keyboard.
    I have all these problems since I updated to 7.1.
    Cordialy,

    This is what finally worked for me:
    Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> select your gmail account and toggle OFF Contacts.
    I completely erased my iphone and started over and as soon as I added my gmail account the clean install had the same problem. was finally able to narrow it down to the contacts, so now at least I get my email, I just have NO contacts on my phone or ipad now.
    Apple broke it, Apple needs to fix it... ASAP!!!

    Dear,
    Rouetf.
    You can not maintain accounts manually in OAMK. The accounts which we maintained at the time of assignment for selected  account determination for classes in AO90 are only displayed in OAMK. Additionally here you can you change only their Reconciliation Type for direct postings. When you change the Reconciliation Type you are able to make direct postings to changed accounts. For direct postings make blank and SAVE.
    But changing the Reconciliation type in live system is not recommended.
    Hope this helps you to understand and clears your doubt.
    Please revert for further clarification.
    Regards,
    Pankaj Bhalerao.

  • 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.

  • Inaccurate keyboard in iOS 4.1

    Hi all
    Has anyone else noticed that the keyboard in iOS 4.1 is intermittently inaccurate? I updated my iPhone 4 and my girlfriends iPhone 3G and now we both have this issue where you type a letter and it ends up pressing one close by and predictably so: consecutively just above or to the side of where I actually pressed.
    I haven't seen the behaviour in any other apps albeit when I am typing with the default keyboard.
    If you want to test valid functionality of your screen then download a simple drawing app, as I have, and draw continuous lines across the screen. If there are any gaps then, sadly, in my experience it is 90% chance of being a hardware issue. Try to reinstall iOS 4.1 on your device by plugging into iTunes and selecting "Restore" from the summary page of your device settings. Do NOT restore from backup! This may contain any settings causing your issue. If that hasn't resolved the issue then try restoring on another machine or delete the .ipsw file on your computer (the download containing your new iOS, instructions for this can be found on the support page) and try again. Still no success then it is likely a hardware issue and you should contact Applecare support or Apple Retail Store for service.
    Looking forward to seeing how many others are seeing this as purely a software issue ^_^
    Thanks

    I have the same problem on both my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 3GS, and my wife`s got the same problem on her 3GS. I have emoji installed on all 3 phones. But the problems goes further than just the keyboard. After updating to iOS 4.1 I also got problems with my "home button". When I double click it I don`t get the multitask bar up it takes me to spotlight search. Other times when I`m in a app and press home to quit it opens the multitask bar.
    It`s the same problem on all 3 phones, and it all started after the latest iOS 4.1 update.
    Anyone know what I can do to fix this, please?

    Can I sync my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with Mac G5 , iPhone5 and Apple TV at the same time ?

    Thank's for the help, my only choice is to buy 2 more keyboards .
    Too bad that there is no memory to recall different channels of Bluetooth.

  • Will Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7?

    Could Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7? The new keyboard is too pale and difficult to use.

    In General>Settings>Accessibility there is an option for Bold Text, but this doesn't really affect the keyboard. If you want to make your voice heard by Apple, provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • HT201406 why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    First try Resetting it: hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that does not work Restore your iPhone in iTunes.

  • IPad slow performance on iOS 7

    I've notice on my iPad 3 that dictation sometimes doesn't work at all, and downloading Youtube video's is slow. Using iOS 6 these fuctions were fine.

    I called Apple Support (800-275-2273) and they also recommended a reset: "Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears".
    It came to a screen with a USB cable and arrow to iTunes logo.  I had to connect to my PC and lanuch iTunes.  iTunes recognized the iPad in restore mode.  My only option per Apple Support was to restore to factory defaults.  It appears all data is lost.
    The Apple Support person would not admit that this is a known issue with iOS 7.1 even though you can go online and see that may people have slow performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1.

  • Please add Armenian keyboard in iOS

    Many Armenians are using Apple devices and in iOS many years don't become Armenian keyboard PLEASE ADD ARMENIAN KEYBOARD IN iOS.

    Meanwhile you can use a cool html5 app, called Type Armenian (http://www.algrapps.com) to satisfy basic needs:). I have built it myself.
    However, native Armenian keyboard support would be awesome!

  • The response time of wifi in ios 5.0 is now much slower then in iOS 4.2

    The response time of wifi in ios 5.0 is now much slower then in iOS 4.2.
    It takes sometimes 30 sec till 1 minute that something happend.
    I have an iPad 1 64gb with 3G..

    Looks as if it is to do with your iPhone, if it can't find any Wi-Fi networks and they are turned on and set to discoverable, even after restarting the router it's still unable to find it my recommendation is to do a restore through iTunes, the update may not have installed properly, I have an iPhone 4 16GB (Black) running iOS 5.0.1 and it finds my Wi-Fi networks and log's onto them no problem, so clearly the software works, just seems that your iPhone is having a bad time
    You've done everything else I'd reccommend, normal re-boot, soft reset, reset network settings.
    Think it's time to do a full back up in iTunes and do the restore, then see if that resolves the issue, be sure to let us know how it goes if you do decide to do this.

  • Iphone get slower after downlaoding ios 7

    my iphone 4 has become very slow after downlaoding ios 7. games stuck and apps open slowly,screen lock stuck some time. during typing a message text shows after some time.

    Hi tj786,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are experiencing performance issues after upgrading to iOS 7, follow these steps:
    If you have not already, I recommend first restarting, and then resetting your iPhone:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article with these steps here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Reset iPhone settings
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • HT1688 My iphone 4 is very slow since the IOS upgrade.  What can I do to bring it back to the speed it was prior to this upgrade ?

    My iphone 4 is very slow sine the IOS upgrade.  What can I do to bring it back to the way it was before the upgrade.  It's turtle speed now!

    I forgot to mention earlier: if you find that on-screen typing is very slow to register  then you might try logging out of iCloud and iTunes and the App Store in Settings/iCloud/[Delete Account] and Settings/iTunes and App Store/Apple ID [Sign Out]. Then reset the phone (press sleep/wake and home buttons together and hold until Apple logo appears), and then log back into iCloud and iTunes and the App Store in Settings again.
