I've yet to see this happen a single time. In fact, I've not yet seen it suggest a single word that I've entered multiple times, that wasn't in the stock dictionary. That's on default settings, both on the stock firmware, and on the latest available version.
So when typing your password in the box you won't see it, i.g. ********. But will show up on keyboard suggestion.
I haven't used the default keyboard, but there is a setting in one of the honeycomb menus that lets you make your password visible vs having the **** there. Dunno if somehow having that setting to show what you type affects the keyboard recording passwords or not.

This happens for certain text boxes or webpages. When it happens, you will see word suggestions on top of the default keyboard. This happens to me while I was trying to log onto gmail through the built-in browser. I hope there is a fix for this soon because when I'm typing my password, everyone around me can see it.
My passwords did show up in the suggestion area of the ASUS keyboard as I was typing it and thought that was a bit of an issue - think it was eBay or my web mail, but just tested it again now and it does not. I have just updated to the latest firmware so that may have included a fix. Anyone tried it who has not upgraded firmware yet?

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.
Let the games begin and the ideas fly
Does it still lack Flash add on in the TF?

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.

Dolphin HD is better
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?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
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 need spell checking functionality in a web browser on my TF101. I need any incorrectly-spelled words in a text area that I am typing in to get highlighted by the browser in red and the ability to select from a list of suggested fixes. I have not been able to get spell checking working in any of the browsers I have installed which include the latest stock, Dolphin HD, Boat and Opera Mobile from the market. My understanding is that the functionality is available in all of those browsers except stock, but I can't seem to enable it. Can anyone help me out here? If you could let me know how to get spell check set up in any of those browsers I would appreciate it. I spent over an hour searching online for documentation on how to do it but nothing I found answered my questions. Ideally I would like to do it in Dolphin or Boat. I am on a stock TF101, no roms or mods. Thanks in advance for your help.
I've been complaining about this since the transformer was released. The problem is that all spell checking is done via the (soft) keyboards. Our hard keyboard disables the soft one, and the spell checking is broken.
You can see the spell checker settings under Settings > Language & input > Configure input methods. "Auto-Replace" ticked, yep. NEVER WORKED! cmon ASUS!
Anyone know if the TF201 spell checker works with the physical keyboard?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041502 - lists it as a problem (I think I requested it added). Which has never been fixed.
OK thanks demod_oz. So are you saying that if I disconnect the tablet from the physical keyboard and use a virtual keyboard that the spell checkers in all of these browsers will start working? Are you talking about the word suggestion feature of the soft keyboard or the feature of the browsers that underlines in red those words that are misspelled? I am really looking for the latter. I will try when I get home, I am at work now.
yeah sorry.. It's the suggestion/correction feature. Its the best you are going to get (i think!) And you only get it with no dock!
When updated to ICS, spell checking should work without being done at keyboard level.

Thanks Spidey! I absolutely love this in ICS! Its taken almost a year (I bought my TF101 on launch day) but we've finally got here!
I've searched around and haven't been able to find much info on this. I'm running CM 10.1.2. The default AOSP android keyboard will not show suggestions (or next-word suggestions) when I type. Both options are enabled in the settings. Is this a known issue? I wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas before I downgrade to test CM 10.0. Thanks.

You could always install the Google Keyboard from the Play Store.

I should have mentioned I already tried that too. Same thing happens.
Solved
Well, my impatience led me to expand my search from XDA to Google. I found a couple sites which helped me figure out what was going on. Apparently, the suggestion bar does not show up in certain areas you type in, such as Google Now, the browser address bar, and others. But, when composing a text message, in the body of an email, a Facebook status update, and others, the suggestion bar pops right up. Apparently, this behavior is intentional (not sure why...I think it would be useful in those fields too).
I was using the Swype keyboard on my old phone before I got my Skyrocket, and was used to how that worked. Also, as stated in my OP, even though I had "next-word suggestions" checked in the keyboard options, that was not working, even in texts, emails, etc. I was about to cave and pay $0.99 for Swype, but thought to download the Google Keyboard from Google Play again. The "next-word suggestions" / prediction does indeed work when you are typing in a field that gives you the suggestion bar. So, if you have noticed that in your CM 10.1.2 ROM that you are not getting the next-word suggestions with the default Android keyboard (AOSP), download Google Keyboard from the Google Play store, and you should be good to go.
It's a very old thread... But the question it's:
It's again valid at today? I have the same exact issue/trouble. No more suggestion in some parts when i use chrome or other browser and it's very strange because if i use browser to navigate facebook site during post a comment the suggestion it's appears but when i select, for example, the address bar the suggestion bar it's ever clear and completely empty....
How i can this issue?
In certain text boxes in the browser I'm experiencing a really annoying issue, basically when I type a bunch of stuff in then make a mistake and start using the backspace key to erase, stuff that I perviously typed comes up in place of stuff I erased. It happens even now that I'm typing here. What's up with this issue? Any way to fix? I noticed it happens more often when I use swype typing. Stock keyboard on stock Xperia Z3.
I still have this issue on Lollipop, wtf...
Ive had that issue since Kit Kat.
Try another browser, I had that issue before. I prefer the stock browser so I installed AOSP Browser installer from the play store, then installed the kk browser. No issues with it for me now. I hope this helps.
Trying another browser or another keyboard isn't really a fix. I like to use the Sony keyboard because it allows me to type in english and italian without having to manually switch language every time. It also seems to be more precise with the swype compared to Google or Swiftkey, and it has better handling of custom words. Also I like to use Chrome because it's fast, smooth and "just works", like someone used to say.
I made a few posts about it on the Sony forums, because it only happens with the stock keyboard, hopefully they will listen.
Here's also a video I made to show the bug recorded by me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZhG8rqpw1w
I turned off the auto correct. Seemed to work.
Interestingly enough, I noticed this with google voice typing. Invariably it would accurately type for me, but put everything in twice. Craptastically ridiculous to have to erase what you actually wanted typed because the stupid ap would double it up. I have since removed as best I can the blue google ap, don't use google+ at all and I tell the xperia kb to not guess squat for me. The actual term 'smartphone' I truly believe to be as misleading as one could possibly be without calling yourself a liar.
So, has anyone found a fix for this issue? I feel like I'm pretty much the only one so I wonder how is it possible that such a terrible glitch ON STOCK APPS is basically unnoticed.
I used to get this when using remote apps like Unified Remote and typing into the HTPC. Whenever it tried to predict it would go all screwy.
I haven't noticed it in my z3 but I use Swiftkey.
Its a problem with browser, web site, keyboard... Not sony it self...
I do occur this problem but very rarely, because some website uses technology which is not so optimize for smartphones to decode them, or certain browser.
