For some reason, text that I type lags behind my typing a ton in the browser on web forms. Address bar, search, etc are fine. I have text correction and autocomplete off. Any ideas?
Some forms are worse than other. EBay's forms are pretty slow.
Yeah, it is strange. Anyone figure a solution?

From my experience with the Xoom, there is no direct workaround for now, unless you try other browsers and see their performance.
However, regarding specific sites, verify if there are native apps for them, like eBay, NewEgg, etc... it is much faster that way.
I think it is just that the sites are designed for a desktop where javscript performance is a non-issue. A lot of those site searches on eBay and amazon and stuff really lag on my iPad too due to all the "smarts" they try to put into the text fields.
hi
Is there any solution for that issue?
Even with the 3.1 Update, the input lag is still there.
With other Browsers like Opera there is no lag...
Its been like that with every android hanset/tablet I have seen. I hope they fix the issue some day...

thats weird.
I love the stock browser. But the input lag is awful.
Hi,
I think this is an Android problem, because I have this problem on my Desire running LeeDroid 3.0.7 too.

... what can we tweak on it to make it better?
The about:config option lists hundreds of things to play with. I'm looking for tweaks to improve memory optimization (so android does kill it so quickly) and better cache settings when using lots of tabs.

Still no flash support, but browsing with the adblock extension makes surfing a joy
Is there an eta to add flash to firefox?
I also recommend installing the user agent addon and set it to firefox desktop to get around sites that try to force mobile versions.

No idea when flash will be out. Installing that user agent addon was one of the first things I did Now, I just want to find out how to tweak FF from the inside to see how much performance can improve.
Firefox is awesome. Probably the best browser for android tablet. Loving it with phony and ad block addons. Eat that ipad.
There's no workaround to at least get flash to play in an external player?
can you guys play embedded youtube player (using iPad useragent) at all? The HTML5 video lags on my device a lot.

Firefox, backspace, and keyboard dock
This happening to anyone else? It only seems to happen in Firefox but whenever I use the docks backspace key in Firefox, two characters are deleted instead of just one.
I don't need a signature.
Search suggestions from url bar in firefox mobile?
I like firefox mobile, but unlike the stock browser, you got get google search suggestions from the url bar. I cant seem to find an addon that will allow this. Can anyone suggest one?
I'm noticing this same issue ... while using the keyboard dock in firefox the backspace keys removes two characters.
Did you ever find a fix for this?
Yes, the backspace problem and when typing, the cursor sometimes moves backwards, so you are typing over existing text... my most hated bug!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
The only time I noticed the cursor moving back it was because I was apparently accidentally hitting the touchpad and it was registering as a tap to click. So now I just mainly keep the touchpad disabled.

It's actually a known issue with FF mobile and hardware keyboards, but it only seemed to be fixed for some devices. Are you saying that in multi-line web forms, you get no typing issues?

Same issue here, but not in stock web browser. Only in firefox
Wow, I thought I was the only one, I didn't actually notice it happens only in Firefox, but now that you've mentioned it, I notice that I don't hate typying anywhere else... haha
Hehehe... so glad it's not only me and that it's only in Firefox, now there's one more reason to give dolphin a try. Too bad though, I really like the FF interface and tabs position.
I have notice the same problem, and When I'm using the "AZERTY" Dock it was recognized by Firefox as a "QWERTY" one.
This is the only application that make the mistake.

I'm not sure if I just wasn't using it enough, but I hadn't noticed that issue. I certainly do now, and it definitely isn't better with firefox 5. It does seem like it is worse in some forms than others (typing this message wasn't bad at all). I've also noticed in some forms that pressing backspace quickly several times will just delete everything.
I keep having my browsers stop, they wont finish loading and then when I touch on the address search bar or refresh button on the screen I get the force close message. I'm having problems with the stock browser and also the dolphin hd browser too. It happens after about 10 minutes and I can't find any correlation with certain sites, it's just after a little time no matter what I'm looking at. I did a search and only came across someone saying they were having a problem but it was a xoom and they were also rooted. My transformer is all stock and only about a week old. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? Besides that I love this thing. Thanks for the help.
some sites are inaccessible without crashing to the desktop. Web browsing is one of the major use cases for the transformer. It will be nice if this geta fixed.
Are you serious? I researched tide tablet for weeks before i decided on it. I knew about the cameras and taking videos not being good, I knee there was a chance for light bleed, and also that there were some problems with hd video playback sometimes. I hadn't read anything however on browsing problems. I tried Firefox and opera along with dolphin and they all stop and crash. I don't understand why someone didn't mention this in their reviews with it being a problem. I've had no problems with light bleed, video playback and the camera is fine for me, but the browsing problem would have dissuaded me from purchasing if I would have known. Is there no fixes at all?
The problem is java script, try to disable java

On Monday I'll have my Transformer for 2 weeks. I just started having browser crashes yesterday only after a couple of minutes of browsing. This has happened on yahoo & xda. At the time I was trying to copy & paste. What I don't understand is I wasn't having problems before.
Also, I am unable to do a search on XDA. The search & keyboard come up monetarily then close.

Yes, stock & not rooted
I never get force closing pop ups but everynow and then the browser just closes... but then it depends on the website
I;m running overclocked prime
Mine is just stock, I haven't rooted mine either. I can usually browse for 10 minutes or so before mine stops then force closes. It seems strange that it just started after 2 weeks for the one person. If the problem is Java and I turn it off won't that limit some of the sites? I hate to be limited on browsing, otherwise you might as well get a dang ipad. I hope we find a fix for this it's driving me crazy.
Stock, 3.1 not rooted. The crashing is site specific. It happens with Dolphin as well. Xscope will handle the site, but it has other usability issues (like no zoom) . Do other tablets (zoom,tab 10.1,etc) have these issues? I love paying to be a beta tester.
Same problem here, browser crashes on certain webpages without a warning, switching java off solves the problem but this shouldn't be a solution
Turning off Java Script does indeed help a lot it seems - faster loading and far less crashes. As a web technology noob what do I lose w/o Java script? I browse mostly news/science/tech blogs and forums. Not to many interactive (save Facebook of course).
Any good tips on what losing JV scrips limits?
Thanks!
This has been discussed before Its a known issues (at least to us that have them) and its pretty annoying to say the least. Turning off javascript helps in two different ways (stops crashes and speeds up browsing), but some pages wont display correctly without it.
i resolved crashes with "adfree"
I've never seen my browser as prone to crash or sluggish on the transformer. The only thing I configured is to start plugins on click only (like poor man flashblock - but I prefer it this way on my desktop Chrome too). Running stock 3.1.
i wwill try the adfree and I will post my results.
I've had my Transformer for about three weeks and besides slowing down quite a bit the stock browser and Dolphin have been crashing regularly as of last week. I'm running stock 3.1 - not rooted or anything. It's gotten bad enough that I've basically stopped using it and am using my Acer W500 and iPad. I can put up with some problems in a new unit but if I had known that Honeycomb was as buggy as it seems to be so far I probably would not have purchased this.
i got mine last week, the default browser performance is unacceptable. It just crashes without any warning. Clicking comboboxes , checkboxes and even links in some cases is far too difficult to get right with one go, there are instances where you simply cant do it at all , even after zooming all the way in. Turning off JavaScript is not an option for me, there are simply too many sites using JavaScript for their manus n stuff. Now using dolphin browser, seemsmuch better, but still unreble.I am a huge android supporter, i have a galaxy s and i love it. But recently i compared this against an ipad 2, i hate to say this but with current firmware (3.1 stock, not rooted) this tablet is far inferior to the ipad when it comes to web browsing. I hate apple products,but at this point id rather have an ipad, over this

Has anyone found a good fix for the touch keyboard lag that doesn't involve rooting the Asus?
I have tried to be patient and wait for a fix to come down the p hope, but it still has not happened.
I bought my Transformer to help me write reviews but typeing anything longer than 2 sentences on the stock browser, Dolphon HD, Dolphin Tab,oreven opera is becoming an excercise in futility for me unless I want to type 1 word every 10 seconds or slower.
I do want to keep the Transformer, but I would rather not beforced to buy the keyboard hardware since at that point I might as well just have a netbook pc
Thanks in advance all.
Are you using the Asus keyboard? I'm using thumb keyboard and don't suffer from input lag.

Keyboard dock will not fix the issue. I am typing this with the dock in Dolphin, and it lags badly. The only browser that doesn't lag is Opera Mini. But of course its a watered down page, which I don't mind so much but frequently the page will not load properly so I quit using Mini as my main browser plus I like to view my sites natively in desktop. If it wasn't for the page loading problem in Opera Mini it would be my main browser because it has not typing lag. To be honest this was a painful process to reply using Dolphin it makes me want to hop over to Mini right now.....

Use Opera browser, it's far superior in every way. and does not suffer lag.
Crazypeter - are you using opera mini or mobile? Desktop or android? I just jumped over to Opera mobile and the typing lag is basically gone (desktop setting). Screen redraw while scrolling is bad in Dolphin also, but much better in Opera. I do like the look of the page rendering better in Dolphin, but the typing lag is the ****s
I just used Hacker's Keyboard to type this in Dolphin HD. I'm typing about 40 words per minute, and by the time I look up from the keyboard to check the spelling and whatnot, everything I've typed is all there. If I watch the text input box while I'm typing, I can see about 200-400 millisecond lags every once in a while, but it's almost imperceptable, and none of my keypresses are missed. I didn't notice any more lag in the stock browser, but I didn't test it very well. I'll be interested to see if Hacker's Keyboard helps for anyone else.
Just posted this in Opera Mini, and the typing lag is indeed gone in that now. (Been a while since I last tried it, it definitely lagged badly at one point in the past.)
Unfortunately it has its own set of glitches that are just as annoying, including the text box totally incorrectly reformatting when scrolling the page, and login fields causing the entire page to flash, reload, and occasionally even wipe out the username you just entered when you tap in the password field -- and finding those bugs took all of 45 seconds from opening Opera Mini.
Dolphin HD when I last tried it was as laggy or worse than the stock browser, and so was Opera Mobile. Guess I need to try them again, because the stock browser doesn't seem to be getting any better, any time soon.

Am i the only one here suffer from checker box browsing issue? For those who don't know what it is. Is when you load a webpage they load box by box as you scroll down. Was there some setting i miss? I tried factory reset and it still doesn't solve anything. This really bug me because knowing that the TF is quite powerful in it's own way. But when using the stock browser it made it feel really cheap. Opera mobile on the other hand is way faster when rendering webpage. But since i have all my bookmark synced in the stock browser that made it my preferred browser. Just wondering if anyone else have this issue as well.
I have the same issue. I turned off opengl rendering and it fixed it, but scrolling is much less smooth.
I have the same issue, after receiving the Android 3.2 update. 3.1 was better for me. It has stated that 3.2 was suppose to fix this white box loading problem, but it caused me the problem instead. So I'm hoping the next update will fix it soon in the coming days for the U.S. on 8/23/11. 3.2 is such a buggy release.
As for how to disable OpenGL rendering? I don't think there is such option under any factory setting? Are you rooted legoman666?
to disable opengl you have to type about:config in the browser URL. Nothing will show up on the webpage. But just go back to your browser setting and the debug option is listed there. Yeah i really hope they fix this issue soon. I don't even feel like using the TF anymore because of this.

I believe I followed the instructions correctly. But I do not see the OpenGL option listed, nor a debug option within Settings on the stock browser.
lol my bad i mean type about:debug then go to setting. You should see the debug option. Sorry been using a couples other browser and got the command mixed up. Disabling openGL will cause some issue when loading webpage with flash.
this is such a huge annoyance I wonder why you don't see more complaints? Its buggingthe hell out of me!
I use Opera Browser and get nearly zero blockiness, however it is about time Asus got off their ass and fixed this issue once and for all!
Does opera work with flash?
And yes Asus needs to address this issue big time since most users are on the web 90% of the time!

Yes flash works fine on Opera.
yeah i'm no longer using the stock browser. Switched to opera and so much faster. Just wish mouse scrolling work with it hehe. I can't believe we need to rely on third party software to enjoy web surfing. I thought tablet are meant for web surfing. Surely this is not the case with the TF stock browser.
Lets just admit the TF is a pretty good device. Except for the stock browser. The longer I use it the more I hate it. I honestly don't know why I keep using it other than it's familiar. Maybe if someone just removed it from the rom I would be forced to use something else
I agree. The device itself is awsome. I love playing old school emulator games using my ps3 controller. But when i want to surf the web. I tend to move to my desktop for that job. Hell even my samsung galaxy s does a better job. That's how much the stock browser had turned me off and not to mention when i want to post here. The keyboard lag is ridiculous. Can't surf and can't type. Definitely a pretty damn let down for a dual core device.
i sent a complaint to Asus. Lets see if we get a responce!

Choppy browser
Ok so from what I read the checker box browsing, slow keyboard typing and all are not exclusive to my device. I got my TF a week back and I tried different browsers (Stock, Dolphin, Opera) and on different roms (Prime and Revolver) and all were choppy like hell.
it was worst in case of facebook and endgadget pages which are quite long pages and what I saw was plain dissapointing, slow, checker boxes and the fact that it keep loading the whole page if I scroll up and down or zoom in and out!
Edit: ok so idid the "open gl rendering" uncheck and now the stock browser doesnt do checker box and its quite ok,could be smoother but its wayyyy better than before!
Hi guys, I'm posting this here as I can't seem to find anyone with the same problems as me and I am hoping someone here can help me.
Everytime I run Dolphin Browser (ver. 9.3.1), there is a MASSIVE keyboard lag whenever I want to enter anything in the address bar. The keyboard will only show up after a few seconds (ranging from 1-4 seconds) and when I enter the address, some alphabet inputs will be missing as it was not registered by Dolphin due to the lag. So for example, if I entered yahoo.com, only yo.com will be registered on the address bar, eventhough I typed yahoo.com.
General speed of loading the websites is not affected and is quite fast. It's only when there is a keyboard input involved, then it lags like hell.
I have tried tweaking my Infinity with System Tuner Pro to increase the memory limit of Dolphin browser but it doesn't seem to work. I also have Browser2Ram (as part of Cleanrom inheritance 3.3) but nothing seems to work.
Searching for similar problems faced by other owners of Inifinity also turned up empty so I hope someone can help me on this.
I have a rooted Asus TF700 running on Cleanrom inheritance 3.3 ODEX version, but I also experienced this problem when I was running my TF700 unrooted.
Please help! It's driving me crazy as I'm a big Dolphin fan!
Thanks a bunch!

Well i'm facing the same on stock. So i guess its time to write to asus.
I have the same issue with Dolphin as well. I've had it stock and also with CROMI. I have switched to the stock browser which, with CROMI, is so lightning quick and lag free. I also like Dolphin, and still use it for some websites that work better with it or I need Dolphin's add-ons for, but mainly, I use stock and am very happy.
But, no, you are not alone with Dolphin lagging badly with our device.
Perfect on my S3. It is exactly as you say on my tf700.

Odp: [Q] Massive keyboard lag with Dolphin browser
Finally someone else has the same problem as me. This is my #1 issue with everyday use of Infinity. Yes, I could switch to Boat or other brower. But I got used to Dolphin interface.
I wrote about the problem to Dolphin developers twice. They acknowledged it but did nothing about it.
The lag is probably related to the way they programmed Google search suggestions. Try disabling suggestions from Google in Dolphin preferences, the lag will be almost done. All other suggestions (history, bookmarks) will also be disabled.
The problems seems to be as follows. You type a letter. Dolphin looks for search suggestions, displays them, then reads another key, and so on. If many keys are in the buffer, it gets slower and slower. If you type really fast, the keyboard buffer overfills and some keystrokes are lost.
If you use onscreen keyboard, this problem does not occur. With the keyboard dock, you usually type faster. Passing the keystrokes through USB may also account to this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
To sum up: everyone who has this problem, please send a report to Dolphin developers (they have form on their web page). Maybe if more people will report, they will finally do something about it.
I would strongly suggest you guys to use stock. Its almost bug free and also fast enough. On mine it displays the content faster than dolphin and the page load is faster than dolphin. I have timed the loading of all the websites i frequently visit( yes I cleared all history, cache, etc. and also disabled pre loading) and dolphin took almost 5-10 seconds more than the stock browser to load up the pages. You can even try chrome. Its good after the latest update. I didn't try timing it but its better the previous version.
It has been brought up before that Dolphin is less optimized for tablets than it is for the smart phones. Might not be entirely the problem with the device.
