Is anyone here using it? I love it, but it's memory usage seems to go out of control after a while...70mb or so, but it goes down after reboot. Any suggestions?

This memory consumption is not normal. What version of Android are you using? On what device?

We'll look into it.

i have AI Type and have been using it for quite some time now. I never had that kind of usage even on my old captivate, which doesnt have a whole lot of available memory once everything is said and done. Maybe reinstall it or it could be a bug in the keyboard software, too.
 
Right, I was a bit shocked too. It started from about 10mb, and then it just blew up (I know it goes to 20mb or so in about half an hour, but I thought it would stop there)...Maybe it gets confused as most of my typing is actually not in English? Maybe it's trying to learn another language :). Anyway, looking forward to the response from A.I. and anybody else who has suggestions...I really don't want to switch from A.I. type...
 
the only thing I can think of that you might want to try is that occasionally i will run the 'erase mytype' option so it erases the words it learned. I dont want that option on (wish there was a way to turn it off). Maybe thats growing too large.
 
yeah, i tried uninstalling/reinstalling...giving it another shot. We'll see how it goes in the next day or so.
 
I have it installed on the Galaxy S 2 and have no problems with it. Trying to figure out which I like better for speed: AI or Swype

i find AI Type to be faster because although i do like swype, the time it takes for me to erase my swype mistakes and reswype (or manually type it in if it doesnt pick up the word), i could have tapped it in on AI Type faster. I also find that AI Type corrects my mistakes a lot faster than swype.
 
anyone? And can those who use default android keyboard tell me how much memory it takes under "running services"? Just trying to compare.
 
Wow. Thanks for this thread. Never heard of A.I. Type keyboard before reading here, and I just installed it. Love it. Great stuff. THANKS!!

Hi PfcBgd,


We are investigating some potential memory-culprits, mainly our honorable internal clipboard that is responsible for the undo/redo features and may waste more memory than we expected. There are some other suspects we will interrogate before our coming release (in a few days).

A temporary workaround (by no means not a solution, of course): switch to another keyboard and back to A.I.type to restart the service and release all that memory.

I'll be happy if you contact us on support @ aitype dot com and we can further discuss the situation. We are eager to solve this problem.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,

@Xphyle, you're welcome haha. It is, to me at least, the best keyboard out there, but I just have this one issue with it and hope the coming release will fix it.
