While an app is installing is the only time. I have thus issue. Google on back, fresh Rom

I'll test it out and report back.

Ok I'm typing in portrait on stock SIP. Now landscape. Both are kind of laggy. This is after a restart. Going to setup better keyboard & reboot.

Ok, installed better keyboard & rebooted. Typing in portrait. Now in landscape. I like the options that better keyboar offers, but the lag is MUCH worse. It is 2 full words behind me, at least. The text prediction is good but typo correction is poor. Took me 5m to type this. Stock sip all the way!

Back on my comp now. That was on better keyboard 4.0.1. I really wanted to like it. I was already trying to think of how I could work out a deal with the author for fresh users. ha. But it is absolutely terrible on our hero. It literally took me over 5 minutes to type those few sentences. Try it out if you want to see how good the stock SIP is. Haha.

HTC did very well on the kybd, unrivaled on android IMHO.

Has anyone tried touch pal for hero ?

Re: Hero sucks at mutlitasking??
 

Has anyone tried the Shape writer trial, it's the swipe to text app that just came out.

Re: Hero sucks at mutlitasking??
 

I have been using touchpal for a while. I switched because you can move between QWERTY and predictive keyboards "on the fly", without having to go into the settings. Just swipe from left to right to switch. You can also assign a "defualt" kb for a particular orientation.

I still have a good amount of lag when typing.
