Q: Typing delay after IOS 7 update

I was about to throw this iPad out the window until I saw this post...thank you!!!! I turned off my documents in the iCloud.... Now it's smooth as silk  

resetting worked for me finally!

Cheers! This worked for me!

resetting worked for me so far ,

Brilliant tried switching off the documents and data as described and it is working a treat, this was after every other solution.

thank you guys

This worked for me.  Does anyone know if turning of Documents and Data effects Calendar, Notes, Contacts, Reminders, or Mail in iCloud?

I just turned off Safari in icloud but still left docs and data on and that worked. Somthing to try I case anyone needs docs and data on

Restoring solved my problem.

Settings-General-reset-reset all setting.

Turning off data and docs sharing worked for me. Hope it's fixed soon. I was already less than fully pleased with the update and it's drab grey and white only options in text, keyboarding etc. But then the extreme delay in typing was horrible!!!!  At least I can type on my phone again for now.

Great, turning off this iCloud functionality worked for me as well. Typing took typically 5-10 sec for each letter, now it is working smoothly again.

Reset did not work and I was hoping for a better solution than a complete restore.

Thanks!!

Phew, thank you switching off Documents and Data also resolved it for me. I had issues getting into my phone as the passcode would type soooo slow! Now where is the fix Tim?

Update: some success, and info for others to perhaps try ...

1. Upgraded my iPad (v2) to iOS 7 - no problems there. Hope was kindled.

2. Tried "reset all settings" approach. This did not seem to work - the typing lag issue showed up as soon as I turned on "docs & data", and again went away when I turned that off. All the inconvenience of rebuilding desired settings, no apparent gain.

3. The interesting bit: while away from home and not on wifi (some idle time to work on the issue), I turned "docs & data" back on. NO KEY BOARD LAG!

My iWork docs synced down slowly over cellular, but did sync. No further keyboard lag issues since (even back in normal home situation - wifi, iTunes on laptop with wifi sync).

I was not as rigorous as necessary in my work to be certain what may have fixed this, and don't know how (and don't want to!) try to replicate the problem.

Open possibilities to consider and explore:

- Wifi vs. cellular ... Problem went away after I turned on "docs &data" on cellular data connection.

  = post "reset all settings" ... relevant?

  = away from iTunes computer wifi sync ... ?

- Played with settings after reset ... Some other setting interaction? Nothing that seemed obvious to me.

   = new iCloud authentication?

- Back-end updates? While there was no new iOS patch, Apple may have made an iCloud change

- iPad iOS update and iCloud touch/sync? May have altered something in iCloud docs or sync states.

Will advise if anything comes to light.

I did call Apple support over the weekend. No solutions, but they did promptly acknowledge the issue, and intelligently discussed known information, options, and workarounds. Overall good support call.

Cheers

"Settings -> general -> reset -> reset all settings"

did work for me! Thank you! It was such a pain to try to type. Now's all good. Just after resetting phone do not forget to go over everything and put it the way you want. Problem will not re-appear.

Thanks again!

Turning off Documents and Data in iCloud settings fixed my iPad as well! Thank you

How wierd, turning off Data & Documnets in iCloud has fixed this very annoying text entry delay for me as well. Thanks guys.
