AnonD-36731, 22 Jan 2012Really? I use the Swype keyboard with no haptic feedback. ... moreThe problem is not so much the stock keyboard keeping up with my typing, it's more the vibration that cant keep up at times. Like, you I found that keeping the vibration off was better for me because it would mess with my rythem when typing. It was more the vibration lagging than the typing itself.
Swiftkey x doesn't have that problem and the vibration can be adjusted in a way that is subtle enough to notice key presses but not over powerfull. Swype is good but I have not perfected it yet.

    I use the Swype keyboard with no haptic feedback. Haptic feedback is a newbee thing and isn't useful for Swype anyway.
    I find the Swype keyboard provided many times faster than previous keyboards I have used.

      I have not found the phone heating up on calls. I have found that if you leave the screen, GPS and WiFi on while charging then it gets warm. Not many people would leave the screen on though :)

              SwiftKey X is the otherness that I am trying at the moment.. I downloaded the free trial version for one month.. So far, and it's keeping up with my typing.
              It just seems the the defy plus has quite a few minor bugs that although annoying, and are solved by a few Android Market alps.

I checked the task manager and typically, it seems that when the android cpu reaches around 30+ % usage, then the keyboard starts to slow a little so I close some apps that eat alot of ram (even the ones that arent running at the time, and once I get the system cpu down to around the 19% mark, the keyboard starts playing nice again. will keep an eye to see if there is a specific app eating a lot of ram.

                    very good phone with a shameful battery back up.
                    I bought just a week back and its getting drained to 10% within 24hrs and without any use at all and in 2g network. In 3G and with moderate use only 12-14hrs.
                    I heard of poor battery of general MOTO phones and its seems very true.

                          Keyboad lag is beyond a joke so I have had to turn off the vibration for the keyboard when typing. Not so bad then because it is less distracting when the letters take a second or so to catch up if you type fast.
                          Anyone experience the keyboard lag when typing fast and have you found a work around for it?

                                  Please note that the Motorila Defy is not listed as shock proof. Only listed as water resistant and dust proof so do not assume that you can go swimming with it or think you can drop it as many times as you like without damaging it.
                                  If it survives a drop or two then count yourself lucky that the thing has not broken yet.
                                  The JCB edition does come with a protective case, abit like one of those silicone ones although this one is made from a special material that hardens up on impact which will make this thing shock proof when it's on.

                                  I have briefly tested this thing under a running tap for about 10 seconds and it still works with no issues, so at least the claim that it is water risistant seems to hold true.

                                  There are still a few annoying issues like flash player skipping on a few sites like iplayer (which did'nt happen with some of my other phones).
                                  The backlight won't dim down when the phone goes into darkeness again. This is not a hardware issue but a software one as Lux Autobrightness from tge marketplace cured this problem.
                                  The issue of flashplayer still being 10.2 even after my update still remains, so I have to manualy update after each time the phone reboots.

                                  Keyboard lags at intevals when typing on the web but is fine durring texts, etc.

                                    Ok, so I checked Motorola's website and contrary to the person at Motorola telling me that 2.3.4 was the latest update, I have updated to 2.3.5 via Motorola's website.
                                    (as I had no luck with the OTA).
                                    So it would seem that 2.3.6. is not available in the UK...yet.

                                      Is anyone living in the UK got this update?

                                        of course there is a delete button when entering phone numbers in the dialer.

                                        On a side note I find that although there are a few annoying bugs (most of which have workarounds). the louspeaker is excellent, loud and very crisp. Calling on this mobile is a real pleasure.
