TX input delay (upgrading from a T3)

[sa668]

I upgraded to a TX from a T3 and I have noticed that there is a significant delay when entering text. The T3 is immediate. When I write a letter it shows up. With the TX there is a slight delay before the letter shows up.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[ibg]

I noticed the same thing. The T3 is crisp and reacts right away. My new TX has a slight delay when responding to graffiti. I wonder what causes that?

[edeab220]

Yup, same here. When I tested out the T|T5, it had the same thing. Be assured, your letters will show up ;). Just keep on writing and writing and it will show up eventually.

The delay is primarily on the two stroke letters. Just keep writing, the display will catch up with you.

When Graffiti 2 appeared, a number of programs suddenly had broken features. This included Palm's own Giraffe Graffiti training program. If a program allowed entering a single character, and immediately acted upon it, it no longer worked for two-stroke characters. Instead of recognizing a "K", the program would receive an "L", then a backspace, then a "K". The program would act on the "L" immediately - not doing what you expected it to do.

More recent Palms have a built-in delay (I'm not sure which model was first), so the operating system does not communicate the Graffiti-written character to the program until it's sure what the character is going to be. If you watch, it looks slower, but actually under the covers it can accept strokes as fast as before, and the display usually catches up once it has non-ambiguous single-stroke characters to process.

coming from the T3 i have the same delay on my T|X, but yes.. the display catches up with me :)

I hate to add a "me too," but, uh, me too. This has not been an easy transition, and at this point in time I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. My poor, trusty T3 just keeps looking at me on my desk saying, "Why, why?" :)

Try a LifeDrive... then you will learn what delay really means.

[Cyker]

It's either some weird processing delay (If this actually exists I'm sticking with my TH for sure!! :eek: ) or, more likely, the 2-stroke char recognition delay.

Best thing to do is to put Graffiti 1 on it - It's faster and more consistent (ALL letters are a single stroke, ALL captials are 2 strokes, ALL punctuations are a tap-stroke).

G2 is a load of pap anyway. They really should have used Jot instead of this current half-arsed implementation...

Is that delay there in T|E2 too ?

[userwaldo]

Yes this the delay is intolerable on the E2. I even had it on my Zire 71, until I switched back to Graffiti 1. I sure wish that I had Grafiti 1 on my T E2. I can't write near as fast as i use to be able to. If I try to write faster with the hopes that it will catch up, I either get the wrong characters, or nothing at all and it ends up being even slower because I have to repeate or deleate and try again.

It cannot be Graffiti2 in and of itself, because it was quite responsive on my T3.

[prayer4eev]

it's T5, LD, TX, E2

old devices does not have such "lag". and it's not g2, it's those 2-stroke symbols.
but it's not big problem. imho. when i had t5 i just installed g1 :)

I installed the Graffiti 1 for Treo 650 files on the TX and the input is instantaneous.
