Is the tapatalk forum app any good? It sounds like a cool idea but hasn't gotten many good reviews lately.

Xda app is based off tapatalk and I think its pretty good software. If my reg. forums supported tapatalk id prob buy the app

I use it for a few forums (Cyanogen, XDA, RiderForums) and it makes viewing them all easier since they're in one place.
Every once and a while it does hiccup though, it'll just hang on a screen for 5-10 seconds - for example when loading favorites - sometimes with a Force Close popup dialog box, but if you click 'Wait' instead of 'Close' I'd say 9/10 times it loads the page you want without restarting the app.
It's a lot like the XDA App: not perfect but convenient to have.

Mine has never force closed or freezed, has worked like a champ. Use it to visit Overclock.net, and it works very well. Definetly a winner if you visit a lot of forums on your phone.

XDA also supports Forum Runner, a similar app...you may like to try that as an alternative.

i was thinking about getting it but from the latest reviews i seen theres a new one that you will have to pay for also and other people said the update brought new problems

^ I downloaded version 1.4.2 yesterday on my motorola defy and it's working great. No issues whatsoever.

[Q] xda-developers forum extremely slow on transfo

Has anyone else noticed how xtremely slow this forum is on the transformer? Navigating the pages and even typing this out is very frustrating. I thought it was flash but I uninstalled it and it is still very bad. Any help or info is appreciated. The default keyboard helps a little bit, but typing is very laggy as well.

I'm not experiencing this via the browser. Also, you may want to buy Tapatalk

So far this website really seems to be the only one I have problems with using the stock browser, or even some of the other browsers.
I did find that Opera Mobile seems to work very well with XDA though.

I'm having the EXACT same problem and only with XDA Dev's site. I got so frustrated that I wiped my Transformer thinking it might have been an issue with the ROM. Still same issue. Really don't want to use Tapatalk on a damn tablet but what can I do... At least I know I'm not alone.
Also, I did update Flas to 10.2 not sure it is related.

Yeah the app is so slow. I think its the app tho, whats tapatalk

Surfing this site on TF101 browser is slow for me also. Tapatalk is much faster though.

It IS really rotten using the default browser. Firefox is a bit better. The worst part is getting that ">" new postings link large enough to click on it. In Firefox, there is an additional new postings link that is still hard to click but larger. Hopefully as tablets become more common, sites will make some accommodation.

This forum always gives people issues..
But it has a relatively easy fix.
Scroll all the way to the bottom right and then change XDA 2010 to XDA classic. All your problems should vanish!

I'm having the same issue on my Acer a500. I was getting ready to return it and wait for a transformer. I guess its just xda developers site. Thanks.

It appears to be the Flash ads that are driving it crazy, so no problem with those on the iPad heh. The TF tries to render all of them, and although they do work they are very slow.

You would think that without flash installed, it wouldn't try to render them, but it appears to get stuck on them for some reason. It doesn't make a difference with or without flash, still unbearably slow. Can we pay $5 a month to get the flash ads turned off? LOL...

I love this site & I would pay to get rid of all ads to make my browsing faster on my TF101. I'll have to try the classic mode which was mentioned in a few post earlier when I get home from work.

The xoom had the same issue and switching to classic worked for a while until they updated the xda premium app. Not sure if the xda premium app will work for the tf but I would try that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Not sure it's the Flash ads. I have the browser set to only load Flash on demand, so the Flash ads are not shown. And it it's still extremely laggy.
I just tried switching to "XDA Classic", that fixed it. Ugly as hell, but it works now.

Xoom tremendous keyboard lag

Keyboard lag in forums/message boards when using all browsers, does anyone have a fix for it?

Switch to XDA classic. Scroll to the bottom and switch. That'll fix the XDA lag.

keyboard lag
Thanks for the quick reply. The problem with the lag in the keyboard is on all sites with message boards or forums...I.e. yahoo, YouTube, etc... I have no lag when doing emails or typing in notepad. I have tried half a dozen keyboards, but the problem persists.
I called Motorola, but they were more interested in telling me they have no fix because no one has complained about that before, and I could just return it.

Are you running Honeycomb 3.2? Keyboard lag is almost non existent for me on 3.2

My Xoom is out of commission and bricked. I'm trying to get it working.

Yes I have used several different browsers, but I get the same results.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

The keyboard lag still exists in 3.2. It's pretty ridiculous that there isn't a fix yet.
On a side note:
Another thing that is annoying the hell out of me is when I pop up my keyboard and start typing it opens a random program.

How did you brick it. o-o

I hated that keyboard lag!! The only fix I ever found was to download thumb keyboard on the android market for honeycomb. This fixed the keyboard lag all across the board for me. I am on 3.1 on a 3G Xoom Stock. Too bad I had to pay to get a fix and if there is a fix without this keyboard then please post!

Ditto, I've used several browsers, always get lag, I love when it finally starts typing, but the first few letters are now just gone. Or when it finally starts showing characters, and the browser does a force close.

Chrome beta

Anyone running this browser? I like it its got some weird graphics issue sometimes tho . Anyone else that's running it experience this as well?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk

Same here.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk

I was running it for a few days, but I had to stop. The graphical issues and general unstability just became too much. It would randomly crash for no reason, and more often than not, it would simply refuse to load a page. It would also frequently take a good 10 or 15 seconds to even start loading a page after hitting a link. Stuff like that.
It sucks, 'cause the browser was really great when it worked, and the extra features like desktop tab sync were really helpful. I just needed a browser that worked reliably.

That's why its BETA. Need I say more?

Xda app keeps closing whenever you hit back while trying to navigate within forum or threads.

I think we are dealing with an ics issue here, I think the xda app devs fell asleep at the wheel and didn't do there ics homework! Maybe they don't know what ics stands for, it ain't "I crave salami".

I believe that the XDA App is just a custom Tapatalk App. However, it would receive updates outside of the main Tapatalk App, so it's possible that it hasn't received the updates and bug fixes that the main app has yet. Maybe one of the Mods/Admins can try and get the issue resolved.

Thanks for your input, imnuts . Hope I find a solution soon, running one free app, and two paid apps and still can't use any of them without it becoming a pain in the ass, and draining the juice out of the battery.

As someone else has mentioned, Tapatalk works perfectly -- which it does.

Try emailing them about the issue(s) you're having. The contact email from the Play Store is [email protected] I also saw that there was an XDA Premium HD app that is supposedly meant for tablets. Hopefully that isn't what is required as it doesn't look like there is a free version of the tablet app.

Tried running free xda app, also xda HD, still no good. I guess I can spend another 3.00 bucks and experiment for the dev dept. With tapatalk. And that's no guaranty that its going to work.

### issue resolved ###
Issue was caused by setting in "developer option" - "do not keep activities" this needs to be un checked , not sure what this setting is for, but it can be a pain if checked.
