- Anyone else experiencing a bit of a delay when using the physical keyboard? I've always been a BlackBerry guy so it's fair to say that I'm a speed typer but I noticed that with this phone there's a bit of a lag when using the physical keyboard. Especially with words that have two of the same letters in them like all (changes to AL). I've played around with the settings and have found that by using SwiftKey instead of the stock BlackBerry keyboard app it alleviates the problem a bit but I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this? Thanks in advance!

In Android the soft keyboards are all like language locales. See if you can isolate it if it's hardware or software.
I don't have a Priv yet so not sure if this would work.11-10-15 04:26 PMLike 0 - 11-10-15 04:31 PMLike 0

I just tried disabling EVERYTHING with the keypad minus the double hit space bar for full stop and auto Caps lock after full stop and it didn't make a difference. I've tried it by keeping the on screen keypad on even when the physical one is in use and that Didn't help.
I just tried uninstalling the Google language keyboards that automatically updated and disabled them - didn't help. And lastly I downloaded the Google keypad and made that default. It seemed like maybe it was a tiny tiny improvement, but still getting the same thing.
I've tried everything. I don't know whether it's hardware or software either but this is my second Priv in 2 days and both are exactly the same.
I echo what you said in that it's basically making the phone redundant if the PKB doesn't work. I do type very quickly and am already up to speed with the new Priv keypad, but I'm no quicker than any of my previous BB keypad devices (last ones are Classic, Passport and Q10)vans never had the problem.
I fear it may be a software issue. Whether or not they update it is another thing. It's completely ruining the experience for me. Sorry for the dramatics but how I feel ha.Brancieri likes this.11-10-15 04:46 PMLike 1 -
- I have noticed this as well. Several times I will be missing the same letter in a word. Happened when I was just typing the word missing in the previous sentence.
Maybe this is BlackBerry's response to the double typing issue that plagued some previous model. Instead of double typing...we now experience single typing and we shall never type the same letter twice!

This is how the swiping is implemented.11-10-15 04:50 PMLike 0 - It is a software issue. I expect the keyboard to be just like any other BB10 phone keyboard. The keyboard register an input imediatly, but the software just isn't processing that information quick enough. Expect future software updates to improve optimization11-10-15 04:54 PMLike 0
- If people are having issues, I suggest try overlaying the hardware keyboard with this, the stock Google keyboard:

Once you've installed it go into "Input Methods" and make sure your PKB is slid out when doing so. Make sure that "Smart punctuation spacing" is not checked off and you will find a bit of a fix. You'll have to physically type in periods but it's a tradeoff that I'll take. I would post a screenshot but for some reason the CB10 app keeps crashing when I try to do so. Hope it helps

And yeah the screen shot on the app is a known issue!
I did just tweet BB (prob won't go anywhere ha) asking if they intended to update to rectify the issue.11-10-15 05:13 PMLike 0 - Thanks so much I'll try it now! the testing I've been doing is typing "all in all" quickly ha. So I shall try it again with the method you posted!

Just gave swift key a try. Didn't do a thing for me. I do type quickly and all in all still became al in al. Even sentences I just typed to test are missing letters. Grr.11-10-15 05:24 PMLike 0 - I would bet this is exactly the issue. This sounds like some developer's naive software fix for double typing. If I were BB, I'd look at that.11-10-15 05:32 PMLike 0
- I think it's kind of hilarious yet another double-typing issue (even though the other way around this time) glooms on the horizon. I haven't received my pre-order yet, but reports like that make me really consider cancelling it. A nearly EUR 800 phone which sports a physical keyboard as one of its prime features shouldn't have any issues in that regard.
