slow response when typing

Well, it's not an APP, like the ones you download now. It is the email and text messaging that is within Apple's iPhone standard services.

I can close out, or delete, but I still get the problem. Again, it's intermittent at least, but it is annoying when it happens.

On my 8G (first-gen) it was continual. That was awful! At least it's somewhat improved on the 16G.

it's not a search problem or an app problem -- it is typing out email and typing text messages

so it's a slow response TYPING issue

That's great someone put up a video showing the problem. Yup, that's what it does! Lags behind to where you're just waiting for the letters to type.

Exactly it!

My iTunes does not say that there is an update. Where are you getting the update already? I doubt that Apple, however, has fixed this problem already, although they did have clear from the 2.0 update. Mine started then with the first-generation iphone. I was hoping to rid myself of that issue with the new 16G, but nope....still an issue.

I finally got the update. I plug my iPhone in every night but it wasn't picking up the update for some reason, probably the same reason why NOW it doesn't even update with my iTunes. I put another post up here regarding that issue. But talk about frustrating! My old phone updated great! But the new phone doesn't EVEN update my music at all. I can check and uncheck and choose different options and nothing works. It won't put my music on iPhone. 😟
Hopefully, the other post will get answered.

I know, it's VERY frustrating. I actually stopped texting and sending emails via my iphone, which ***** because I loved having that capability, but it just takes WAY too long. It's EXACTLY like the video that someone linked to in this thread. You type in 8 letters, they don't show up and of course then you can't type anymore as you just have to wait, and then very, VERY slowly one letter at a time begins to pop up while you wait: A .......... P ............. P.......... L............E ............
N ..........E............E..........D..........S.......... T..........O.......... F..........I..........X.......... T..........H..........I..........S...........

And if you see a wrong letter come up that you've typed and you try to delete, hit the X, and watch what happens. One time it actually got stuck and deleted my entire letter (automatically LOL) that I had worked on for an HOUR! LOL That was enough to make me want to throw the iphone right out the window. Needless to say, I didn't bother to try and retype the email I was sending! LOL
