First, search can be your friend. Second, I suggest you read, then re-read to make sure you understand what you are doing. Whether you choose to use a toolkit like Wugs or use adb/fastboot. While I have NO issues with Wug's, I cannot emphasize enough how much better off you will be by taking the time to learn adb and fastboot. There is a thread in this forum for Wugs.

Hey there!

Is anyone having issues when typing? The lag on my phone is insane whenever I type no matter what application I use. Just upgraded to the new software too, same issue.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Are you using the Samsung keyboard? And predictive typing is slow to catch up?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
Yeah, I'm using the Samsung keyboard. Part of it is that predictive typing is slow to catch up, but I don't depend on that anyways. The larger issue is that there's a lag of around half a second or more when I type a letter and when it pops up on the screen.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] frashed:
Yes! With official and Google keyboard... It's unbearable. I've installed Chrooma and it's much better.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Are you using any screen protector?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
No.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
That's so weird. One would expect the stock keyboard to be snappy.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] frashed:
Yeah I don't know what it is. Every Samsung I've owned has had issues with input lag.

The phone registers your input instantly, but there's a huge delay between when you press and when it shows on screen. Deleting characters/words is just as bad, correct?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
Spot on!!!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
Well, this is disappointing to read...was gonna get a Note 7 today.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GaresTaylan:
Add me to this list on ATT version.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Come on. That's hardly a reason not to get the phone. There's plenty of good keyboards in the Play Store. Try Swiftkey.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
Oh, it definitely won't stop me haha. Just not cool to see.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GuestK00345:
Hmm, mine is same as my Note5. Also, Google Keyboard feels lightning fast, especially with haptic feedback off (but that's all keyboards).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
I hardly use stock keyboard anyway. I use either Swiftkey or Google Keyboard. Depending on my mood.

Hopefully Samsung patch this up with Nougat.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tenhotshot:
I'm on a Verizon Note 7 and have this issue no matter what keyboard I use. SwiftKey is slightly better but not by much. Hoping they can patch it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Same for me. SwiftKey in every phone for years and sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not. Sound more like queuing priority in the CPU. It can be fixed IMHO.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DANOFDANGER:
Does anyone have problems where multiple key presses happen and you get excessive letters when typing. I posted this on another forum with the errors left to show.

"Ssso the definite symptoms off my problem is the excessive letterrr input when typing. Iv even left the errors in this paragraph for a example.

Nextt obvious one is scrolling issues in menus or webpages.

So if anyone is experiencing these two most common symptoms let me know. No doubt mine is likely defective and will be getting a replacement.

It could still be software problem yett and because off how new the phone is, it may not bbe quite public yet."

Clearly you can see how ffustratingg thiss can be. Kinda taaaakingg the sting out of the fun off having a new toy.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
That I don't have.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
SwiftKey feels a bit laggier for me at times with the keypress animation. Any idea if that can be disabled?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
That's a good point. I wonder if it's tied to general android animations. I may go to .5x
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mix1987:
I have no such problem. My keyboard is as snappy as snappy goes. Could you have a defective unit? Or that upon activation the phone is running a myriad of processes so it will slow the phone down. Maybe do a factory reset and wait a few days. If the problem still persists go to Sammy for 1 for 1 exchange.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
Yea I'll give that a try, thanks
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:
I havent had any slowness issues, besides me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] analoguedarkness:
I've not had any issues with the stock keyboard, but as soon as I loaded up Swiftkey Neural Alpha -- boom, crazy slowness after about 5-10 words of input. Strangest thing ever as it was running with zero lag on my Nexus 6. I'm going to play around with some other keyboards today and see if it's a chronic issue across the board for me, or just with SK.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Interested to see if you have any issue with non neural. I have regular and it's not terrible but has its moments.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gekkehenkie11:
That's just one of the reaons I hate touchwiz zo much. The symptom described in this thread has always plagued all the Touchwiz devices I've owned. Regardless of the installed keyboard, there would be either constant or random slowness using it. I was really hoping touchwiz would have improved by now, but reading this thread make me really doubt that.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PsycloneTW:
The stock keyboard always sucks IMO it did on my Note 5, and is no exception on the Note 7. I have started using SwiftKey as my go to keyboard. Much snappier for me. I have noticed specifically in Periscope that the Samsung keyboard basically unusuable where SwiftKey keyboard is spot on in it's responsiveness.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
No issues here at all.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] frashed:
Mmm so after 3 days the only thing that seems to have 'fixed' it, is the installation of Chrooma Keyboard. Stock, Google and Swiftkey keyboards all lag like crazy.

Exynos version (AUS).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
I did a factory reset and cleared the cache. It's a lot more snappy now
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tigerxchaos:
I've got a Tmobile Note 7. Mine seems to often not detect that I've tapped on something, and takes another tap or two to finally register. Other times, it'll be sluggish with scrolling, pulling down the notification shade, opening recent apps, and general on screen animations. The Samsung keyboard is especially bad.

The phone goes through almost no battery when asleep, so it doesn't seem like it would be something keeping the CPU active. This feels like either some sort of over-aggressive governor or some kind of conflict with data transferred to the new phone over Samsung Smart Switch.

I've rebooted multiple times, cleared app cache partition, changed animation scale to 0.5, disabled numerous Samsung bloat apps, nothing has helped. The issue started about a minute after I left the store, so it wasn't caused by any of this troubleshooting. Add this to the heat-up issues and unimpressive battery life when in use, and I am one frustrated dude. My S6 edge+ was leaps and bounds ahead of this thing.

Should not have to factory reset a brand new phone, but I guess it's the only thing left to try since we don't have root yet.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Curious how the phone is at .5x animations. Better, odd but acceptable or not cool?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] eyecon82:
swiftkey is laggy randomly...been using google keyboard with no problems
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
No Google keyboard lag here with the Exynos model. It's just as fast as my 6P.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
SwiftKey gets laggy for me after a while too. Didn't happen much on my S7, though I know a lot of people said it did for that phone as well.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Itchiee:
Both the Samsung and the Google keyboards work fine here with no lag. I switched to the Google one since I use Google Voice more than Samsung's version.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] thebigd021:
VERY laggy for stock keyboard. Other keyboards aren't that great either. Anyone else realize there is a bug causing predictive text and auto correction to not work properly? I may switch back to my iPhone.... I've wanted Samsung to come through for years, they just always seem to disappoint. Battery life on this thing is terrible too compared to my iPhone 6S Plus. I HATE iPhone, but all the signs are pointing to me to go back :/ Any tips or tricks?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
Get the international unlocked version and the lag and battery drain will be gone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jay_jay_n:
Same lag on my att variant especially when deleting a word. I noticed it was better when i maxed out the cursor speed
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
The swiftkey beta seems faster than the stable version
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gekkehenkie11:
Swiftkey itself isnt the problem guys, it works very well on the 6p.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] thebigd021:
How do I know which model to get for Sprint in the US?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bgro:
I originally had the Verizon model and definitely experienced keyboard lag ranging from slow as SH*T to hiccupy. I switched over to AT&T and have had a completely keyboard lag free experience so far. Not sure what carriers everyone is on or if that even matters but it seems like it's hit or miss. My brother has an AT&T model as well and has experience zero keyboard lag too.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:
Yes same here, switched to Google Keyboard. good now
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DANOFDANGER:
I went to two different stores and both phones exhibited the problems, so doesnt look like a isolated issue.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
I'm using the stock keyboard on AT&T Note 7. Most of the time it responds instantly. But twice in the five days I've had the phone, it's gotten into a mode where the keyboard lags. The characters still appear immediately when typed. But there's a delay in the sound and vibration feedback--I'll type 3 or 4 characters with no feedback, and then there will be a delayed rapid burst of the 3 or 4 clicks and vibrations. When the phone is in this mode, I also notice scrolling lag.

Closing all apps doesn't resolve the problem. Rebooting fixes it, though. Since it's only happened twice, I have not yet identified what triggers the problem.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Jamesteochinhao:
Guys, I know what made it slow. Try and clean your clipboard and see if it improves. Worked on mine.

I had identified that as long as there is media in my clipboard, it will slow down the keyboard performance. Delete all the items in your clipboard and let me know if this fix your Note7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
Not so sure about that. I've got the international unlocked version, and the lag issue exists big time.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
Not seeing this in my dual sim unlocked version. There is no lag with Google keyboard
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
Just out of curiosity, what firmware version do you have installed on your unlocked international model?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MrL3:
I, too, have this issue. I signed up for the site merely to mention this fact and see what the issue may be.

I am Verizon and have the latest update they provided.

I started with SK Neural and it was ABYSMAL. Switched to SK Beta and it is twice as fast as Neural (which is to say 10x's too slow still!!!). May try that other keyboard (that starts with a C and has a bunch of "o"s in it, have to look up the name).

Thanks for this thread and the info it holds. I appreciate it and hope to help if I may.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
For me it happens after i use the side menu to select email. 3 seconds. It's a bug for sure.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
Chrooma Keyboard.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Same here with the Samsung kb. SwiftKey is a little better but still not as fast as it is on my note 4. I am running custom rom on my 4 though.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
Not an expert in this, but I think it's mentioned under the "Baseband version" correct?

If so, it's N930FXXU1BPH5
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] geovass:
new update today and i think this issue is resolved; SM-N930FD / BPH7
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hamediii:
Thanks for the heads up. It's a small update, after 5 mins of use, I can notice that the phone is a lot snappier. Fingers crossed it's a proper solution.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bgro:
Do these updates typically come to US carriers ? Not sure if they're pushed directly from Samsung or the carrier. I have the AT&T version
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
This was pushed today to the unlocked international version. I'm sure the US carriers will get the update eventually but as usual, it will take longer.

Always buy the unlocked version. Never from a carrier.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
Is the typing situation better for everyone now?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MrL3:
Nope. I tried Chrooma, SK Neural and a handful of others without any significant changes to speed. I stuck with my preferred, SK Beta for now but still notice a real lag when typing.

I am USA, Verizon.

Very much looking forward to the pending updates. I feel like the phone is quite sluggish. I had to turn on the old phone to wipe it out before sending it back to Verizon (a Galaxy S6 Edge) and frankly found it to be zippier than the Note 7 after a week of not using it.

Also, I tried taking the Note 7 into the pool this past weekend - what a useless experience! There is literally no way to unlock the thing when it is wet (I had sunglasses on so Iris scan was not happening). Further, there is no using the screen for anything touch related when wet - and yes, I did take the S Pen out prior to operating as I had read that can help. It did not, useless in wet conditions (a large reason I purchased it!).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] musicconnect:
Running a non-rooted Duos Note 7 with Nova launcher and about 30 apps (keeping it light for now). It's run smooth for the past week and then about 12 hours ago I started to experience bad keyboard lag). It was around the time I changed the system font to Samsung Sans (via the official store) so I switched it back but nothing changed. I thought maybe it's my Google Keyboard, but it's doing the same thing with the stock Samsung app.

This is the kind of crap I experienced when I had a Note 1 years ago (other than that always been an iPhone user). Didn't think it would still be plaguing me. Anyone have any bright ideas?

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

This has happened to me a few times. I'm so disappointed.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DANOFDANGER:
Yes this is very likely to do with poor optimizations between the cores. XDA did a nice article about it showing the latency issues when typing. Software updates i am convinced should fix this problem.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MrL3:
So sorry to be a pill, any chance of a link for this please?

Thanks already given, much appreciated!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
I found that the latest version of swiftkey helped a lot. There was a mention of optimisation for the s7 in the changelog

This solution fixed the slow / lagging keyboard issue!

Hey thank you very much for your tip! I tried clearing my clipboard and voila! Issue fixed immediately!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
How to clear the clipboard
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] stevierayvaughan:
I just did it, and it is 99% the culprit of the keyboard lag. The moment my clipboard fills up, pylon keyboard. Delete it all, smooth as Kojak's head. Made a couple quick screens on how to, attached. First pic BTW you press+hold on the settings icon to the left of spacebar.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] musicconnect:
Someone very kindly wrote to me in another thread with a solution that worked (and will work for you if you use Nova launcher) - go to settings > accessibility and switch off access to Nova. My keyboard is slick AF now.

Sadly this happened on the day Samsung recalled every handset and now I don't know what my future is with this phone :( - I'm really sad for them! Was hoping this would knock iPhone 7 to the curb (and I'm a longtime iPhone user!)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Did both those changes. Made no difference when i reply to an email, sometimes, I type and nothing comes up for 5 to 10 seconds.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] THS1989:
Easy fix...

1) Use Nova Launcher

2) Use Google Keyboard

3) Disable apps and settings you don't use.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Tewwyble:
This solution works for me too! Great and thanks!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] AxBoH:
I noticed this with my Note 7 too. If you're using keyboards such as SwiftKey or A.I Type then there will be a significant amount of lag associated with them. I recommend something like Google Keyboard. It's simple and there aren't too many features which bog it down. Those keyboards come with too many features which cause major lag.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
[MENTION=7711925]AxBoH[/MENTION] A device this powerful should never have lag to begin with especially with the memory optimization since lollipop. Samsung software is terrible unfortunately and must be poorly coded to drag this phone down performance wise.

Same cpu/Ram combo is running in a number of other devices and benchmark much higher.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] squall_kay:
im having same problem with lagging with keyboard (stock, google keyboard and chrooma; chrooma least lag) and i'm surprised this method work.

quite confused but no longer any lack.

i'm using the Exynos Note7

but i do use gesture to expand quick setting/notification a lot from nova. need to stretch all the way to top kinda difficult. nvm, hopefully the 2nd batch phone receive update and can address this issue
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SColl07:
I experienced the same problem. Tried Samsung/Swiftkey keyboards on Nova launcher and experienced a massive lag. Tried both beta and latest version of swiftkey but still not any better.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] squall_kay:
Try the above solution, it works for me.

(Based on Google keyboard and Chrooma with Nova launcher)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] matthewhypolite:
When i now got my Note 7 it was fine, i had to factory reset to do the trick to get google now enabled in my country, and since that this issue has cropped up, and its very annoying. My factory note 4 with latest official marshmallow build flys circles around my note 7 in the typing department...........need a fix for this issue. I've tried everything in the thread thus far barring another factory reset, some made it better, but its still there.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tsiglas:
Easy fix...

Sell the phone and buy a better cheaper new one...

What are you talking about guy's...this is so expensive phone and so powerful that it supposed to work PERFECTLY....
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SacredTbag:
I'm having the same problem with my 7 (Verizon). I used the stock keyboard for about a week and finally got fed up with the crazy slow auto correct. Switched to Fleksy and it was great for a couple hours. Then that one started hardcore lagging. I've used several keyboards since then and it's the same with all of them. After installation everything is good for an hour or two and then they just bog down. It's to the point where I have to type very deliberately and slowly or it just has a fit. In fact the whole phone has gotten pretty slow in the 2 weeks I've had it. Battery life is crap too, only half a day with minimal usage. Can't say I'm impressed with the device as a whole. I've cleared the cache but it didn't so anything. I'll probably have factory reset but having to do that after 2 weeks is nonsense.

Edit: Just read through the thread again and saw the clear clipboard suggestion. Did that, still super laggy.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Jedbot5000:
Possible lag fix...

Developer Options>Disable All Animations>Force GPU Rendering...

Tried both seperately still had lag...together this seems to have fixed my issues...everything flies now. Maybe too early to tell if it's a permanent fix, but give it a shot. Let me know if it works for you too.

Update...I mean...Holy ****!! This thing flies now!! Full page of scrolldit.com fully loaded scrolling faster than my finger can keep up with...like liquid lightning butter smooth hyperdrive speed (LLBSHS)...that's what I'm talking about!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] speedtriple675:
This worked almost instantly for me. No more lag! I had almost given up finding a solution.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Jedbot5000:
Sweet!! Yeah...24 hours later and everything is still flying!! Glad there's a solution that works for others as well! Spread the good news. :laugh:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dadeadman:
Is disabling all animations the same as setting animations to off for Window, Transition and Animation scale?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] speedtriple675:
I think when you set animations to off for Window, Transition, and animation scale, you are effectively disabling all animations.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I agree the word needs to be spread. So far for me it is still working perfect. Still zero lag at all. I haven't tried any gaming yet and I will try to report back with a battery life update to see how that's affected, if at all.

My Note 7 runs smooth as butter most of the time. And typing is fine most of the time. But on webpages with a lot of content, typing is super slow. Doesn't matter what fix. Doesn't matter what keyboard. Doesn't matter what browser.

My Nexus 6 does not suffer from this issue under the same conditions. Same webpage, same keyboard, same browser. In fact, my Nexus 6 has never experienced the lag that my Note 7 has produced.

I love this phone and the form factor, but any lag at all is inexcusable. Especially when I never see any on my Nexus 6. Pretty sure I'll be getting a refund and going back to my Nexus 6.
