Love my hero, but one thing that is driving me absolutely F***ING crazy is they onscreen keyboard. If ANYTHING is happing in the backing it is slow as molasses and almost painful to type one because it takes forever for it to recognize what i pressed, and sometimes it even thinks that i'm holding the screen button down and will put in the "?" or whatever is the secondary icon for that key. I can tell when i'm getting a text when i'm typing because all the above will start to happen for about 5-10 seconds and then finally it will tell me i have a text and the keyboard will start acting normal again. Am I the only one with this issue? Havent seen anyone else talk about it.

Exact same problem. I have one with HTC on back. Also I am using Handcent which I am pretty sure causes this. When I wasn't using it I didn't have this problem.

I sent the an email to handcent regarding the keyboard lag issue. Hopefully, they take a look into solving this issue.

I third that/HTC on the back and a slight lag at times.. I also noticed its a major difference when im on a rom and off on. The Sprint original is slow and laggy. On a Rom this thing flies

Have you guys tried taking the haptic feedback off and just enabling the sound feedbAck in handcent? This has helped speed things up abit for me. Le me know how it goes.

My phone is a with google phone. And i do use handcent and that does seem to be where it happens the worst. When i do it with google chat it still happens but its no where near as bad as when i am using handcent. i'm really hoping that this is just a side effect from HTC haxoring 1.5 to work on CDMA phones. I hope that the 2.0 or 2.1 update really speeds this phone up alot

Yea, I was going to ask that. If you are using haptic feedback then turn it off and watch a huge speed increase. I have also seen slowness but haven't made the correlation with handcent. Hrm. *chin scratchy*

I'm not using haptic feedback and it still happens, but I can see where that would cause it to slow a little.

I'll try living without Handcent for a bit, atleast until that next update.

my friend says it's better with different keyboard. I think he's using better keyboard and when I tried to confirm this by dl ling from marketplace, they want to charge me $3 for it. Anyone already have this and can confirm it?
