[Q] Fix for browser typing lag? - Eee Pad Transformer General

Is there a fix for this yet?
I can't type on forums or anything, even filling out forms is a general pain.
Luckily I have tapatalk but that still shouldn't mean I have to suffer in the browser department

It seems to happen sporadically with me. Really is annoying when it's happening though. Might be an issue with a background service taking priority.

Use swiftkey it's way better but still lags on forums

Swiftkey is out for 3.0? I've got it on my DHD (bought) but it doesn't show in the 3.0 market

It's not a Keyboard problem. Lags still remains using harware dock-keyboard too... Unfortunally it's the status now...
Hope this is solved asap.

theres swiftkey for tablets , on the VIP forum.
is this the same slow down that i get trying to load some pages? it gets stuck at say, 80% and nothing else happens. drives me crazy

You can get it on their vip section

I can confirm this. It seems to be a problem with the way the stock browser is built. Some of the third party browsers borrow from Google's code, so they'll suffer from a lot of the same issues until Google resolves it. Browsers built on a completely different engine won't suffer from the same issues.
If anything I prefer Opera Mobile anyway for its ability to render pages faster.

Can you post the apk?

does switching the user agent help any? .ie. mobile instead of tablet

Same here but the default font size on opera mobile is way too small compare to dolphins and default. That is why I keep going back to default browser.

Nope does not help. The only reason why i have my agent on desktop instead of tablet is because some videos on youtube site will not play if you're browser is set to tablet.

the gl fix didn't really do anything for me.

I have owned every tablet and the asus so far stands a cut above the rest
...........

I've tried all the fixes...some are better than others...I've tried all the browsers...nothing put a real stop to it until I started using Firefox 5 beta.
No lag whatsoever. None. Not even a hint.

But give up flash. Tons of lag as itype this. Lol.

Same problem here.. I was showing off my TF to my Bro who has an Ipad2.. he was so impressed and I was so happy until the physical keyboard lagged as he typed on his facebook.
Any fix yet??

Fennec (Firefox for Android) - out now

You can get it here, but it's crap and takes up 40+MB of internal storage!! And it's still beta
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/beta.html
it`s Fennec (aka desert fox) and yes it huge and crap
Even moved to SD card it was still about 30MB! It's also unusably slow at the moment, and it doesn't reflow the text either so I doubt it will ever be an improvement on the stock browser.

flash doesn't work on this, right?

The size is ridiculous but its definitely not slow for me. The scrolling and zooming are very smooth. The address bar is awkward, you cant type something in without it brining up the whole bookmarks/history stuff, very annoying.
I really like the sync features. Having access to all the bookmarks on my PC is really convenient.
Its lacking a lot of settings and options though.
Overall I like it, but not good enough to replace other browsers yet.
I used it awhile ago, doesn't compare to the stock browser or any of the others for that matter.
Skyfire is no doubt the best.

remember guys this is still in beta, im sure before we get an rc, mozilla will have an awsome browser
It's good that we android users have choice. But until mozilla fixes the size & optimize the browser its a no go for me.
Last time i checked, it was a resource hog, not as slow as hell but slower than the stock browser and Opera.
Uninstalled it less than 5 miniutes later.
tried it and yes the size is unbelieveable! shall be patiently waiting for them to go out of beta.

Personally, I think this is a long way from being a beta quality release. It's a late alpha/pre-beta at best. I think Mozilla have done themselves a disservice by calling it a beta.

Xoom and XDA

My xoom seems to struggle navigating through xda. It is very slow and laggy and very tough trying to navigate through the site. Anyone else suffer through this ?
Thanks for any feedback.
how long have you had it?
What browser are you using?
Mine was horribly laggy for a day or two after I got it. I couldnt believe this tegra 2 device couldnt hang with my evo??
After a few days it really smoothed out in several ways, especially browsing the web.
Now it owns my evo, as it should
Go to the bottom of any FDA page and set viewing to "xda classic". Fixes the laggy experience.

Have to second that. opera works in web mode fine with all of the forums that I've tried..
Mine was slow as heck at first but after a day or two it started running great in stock browser, it coincided with my installing flash but I highly doubt it's related.

You can got to Settings ---> Applications ---> Browser ---> Clear cache. Did this couple of days ago and the browser seems scroll much smother.
You can also set Enable plug-ins in Browser advance settings to on demand. this will stop browser automatically loading flash contents.

Yeh, like I said though, mine started slow and got faster, I didnt clear cache and didn't turn anything off or chance any settings, all I did was install flash. Weird, but I'm happy with the performance so far.

Astonishing how much this setting helps. I recently switched to that a few days ago and I can now enjoy XDA on my tablet.
(While I'm a huge proponent for using Opera Mobile on Android 2.x, I don't like it for Honeycomb because it doesn't follow the normal text selection conventions in the OS and it isn't (yet) HW accelerated to my knowledge. Barring XDA 2010 theme on the XDA site, I get much better performance from the HC stock browser than Opera Mobile when on my tablet.)
Likewise, thanks for the tip on changing it to xda classic. Scrolling is much smoother on the stock browser now.
Thanks for all the advise and help really do appreciate it. I changed setting to classic and WOW makes a huge difference. I've had my xoom few weeks since it came out and love it. This was one of my complains because my brother owns an ipad and he uses my xoom to navigate through xda and always complains, now that is fixed Once Again THANKS ALL
The xda donate version (I thinks its offically called the premium app) works well on xoom.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
i had the laggy xda site too after i installed flash. Once I set web pages to use plugins on demand, (settings -> advanced -> enable plugins -> on demand), thepages load much faster and scroll smoothly. I think it was all the flash-based ads that were making the browser slow down.
I've noticed this helped other sites as well, so if you are experiencing browser lag on other sites, try this method. Hope it helps!
I had a similar experience with my Acer A500. Thanks for the suggestion about using the classic theme. With the XDA 2010 theme even entering text was a laggy chore, and that is with plugins set to on-demand. Switching to the classic theme solved the lag, and has made posting much more pleasant. I will share this information over in our neck of the woods.
i've also noticed that portrait scrolls better than landscape.
Thanks for the "XDA Classic Theme" tip!

Slow Text Entry?

Is is just me, or is the text entry kind of pathetic on the browser of the tab
any desktop site, like.. Facebook , or XDA, typing lags always a second, so the words and letters typed will show up after you actually type, its not smooth at all...
*laughs hard*
I think there might have been a few discussions about this. Yeah, it's an issue. Dolphin or Opera Mini will work better.
So I think I may have a fix for this. I was digging around in the keyboard settings, and noticed that the Tab ships with "Samsung Keyboard" as the default. I switched mine back to the stock Android keyboard, and it's much better. Of course there are a bunch of replacement keyboards you can use as well, but the stock honeycomb keyboard seems much more responsive than the Samsung one.
So far the Android keyboard, Swiftkey, and Swype keyboards haven't made anything better for me.
I've seen some people say disabling OpenGL in the debug settings helps, but they also say it has some other performance side effects. So... I guess I'll be using Opera Mini for a while.
The Bookmarks widget though makes it real easy to use the stock browser bookmarks (synced from my desktop Chrome browser) real easy with Opera though, so I like that.
ya so far swype is tne worst. But problem ive been having is if i type too fast the keyboard suddenly closes and im constantly having to reopen it.... Its fuggin annoying.
I've been using thumb keyboard and no lag. Its able to keep up with me
i really don't think its keyboard related
I'm using stock hc keyboard
Divineblue try doing a quick reply here on ur tab and you'll see the lag
Its fine in Google search and mobile sites but just des on desktop sites like facebook etc
lag disappears in opera mini but its a slow loading browser and I can tell decreases page quality, also can't get facebook desktop to load, no user agent option
so the hc browser really sucks then and ia behind this text lag
Is this lag a general problem with HC? Do you guys think that it will be fixed?
I got this tab on friday I love it so far but this text entry lag is driving me insane.

I use the thumb keyboard and stock browser. It lags like crazy, no different than using any other keyboard.
Has this been reported to Google?
Because of this issue alone, I postponed my purchase of any Android tablet
Web browsing accounts the most for my usage pattern. And I really hate any slow down for doing it.
See if this is fixed in the upcoming Android 3.2 (if it made to GTab) ... or hopefully ICS.
Is it at all lack of power from the Tegra or is it a glitch./-/
I bet on problem with Android Honeycomb.
It is really strange if Tegra does not have enough power on this!
We have a lot of Tegra phones and they don't have this issue. Sure, this is different OS, but that should show about "power".
Probably we need to wait for Android tablet Honeycomb that does not using Tegra.
And see if the problem still there.

lol its definitely not the tegra 2. Its honeycomb, this one is all google's fault. Kind of sad that google brags about their browser being the fastest than other browser and yet the honeycomb browser can't even handle text entry.
I get the same lag with the samsung keyboard attatchment i bought

Yeah I see what you are talking about now
well done on the post above, i voted
I put my comments in that thread too..
The laggy text in the browser is total fail

what browser do you use on ics?

Just wondering what the majority of you are using as your default browser. I've always used Dolphin hd but been getting a lot of force closes. Still use it though as I love all the addons.
Opera for me

Stock browser
or Chrome sometimes.
ICS +
Stock browser with added features. Works and integrates quite well.
Disabled stock browser, using Chrome Beta for Android, in fricking heaven!
No Flash support, don't care
Using good old Dolphin for PAD browser, imo still the best.
With best regards, maris
Originally using stock ICS browser but this week changed to Opera Mobile. So far it looks and behaves pretty good.

No flash not a problem for you? I watch a few online highlights (football) sites.
I can't try it myself, it's unavailable here.
Chrome is good for me only to grab the websites i 've open on my computer, then copy paste the url in the STOCK browser...
I just hope one day get rid about this CPU eater FLASH!
just trying out opera now, I'm quite surprised. Last time I tried it images on sites wouldn't load for me and it kept opening mobile versions of sites. Granted it was at least 6 months ago that I tried it last but it seems to have improved a lot.
I may stick with it for a while until dolphin gets sorted for ics properly.

Love chrome. Did not know even a beta was available. Installing it now.
Stock or Dolphin
I use firefox for the sync and the addon. Plus I've been using firefox on my desktop for like 4 or 5 years
chrome beta so far the best for me...
Try tint browser , very similar to to ics+ browser but alot faster

Browser Microstuttering on Scroll

Has anyone noticed that the browser stutters a bit on scroll? All the browsers I've tried seem to do it. Some worse than others but it's present in all of them. This is pretty annoying and is something i really shouldn't have to deal with considering the money shelled out for this device. The Note 2 didn't do this though I've been on Cleanrom so long I don't know if stock would have done it too.
Even im experiencing lag in the browser...for me in google search also its happening and its crazy on the xda website...need help to

I can't understand why this is even happening. Is it the Att bloat? Is it Touchwiz? These mini consecutive stutters while scrolling at medium speed are just unacceptable.
or is it the new guy Knox?
real annoying problem for me with AT&T note 3, with stock browser or.chrome. load a page, xda for example, as.soon as I attempt to scroll or touch anywhere on the page it reloads, drives me crazy. using uc browser now

I had that problem with the Note 2 browsers too. Dolphin would reload it as well. And it still does with the Note 3. Though this problem seems to be limited to this site only.

Yes, I have observed this same problem on XDA with the Note 8 (multiple browsers).
