Keyboard lag in forums/message boards when using all browsers, does anyone have a fix for it?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
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.

It's a known issue. Did you try another browser?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.
I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.
I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...

If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

Highly recommend it! The AI predictive capability is so much better than anything else I've used. Can oftentimes type with only one or two clicks per word.
But note that the word predictions are currently disabled for the HTC email app on the ThunderBolt. This was a quick fix for the predicted words blocking the text box in landscape mode on some screens. They are now aware of the problem and actually received a ThunderBolt today to test on (they are in England). I think the fix should be very easy because the predicted words are no longer blocking the text box when typing in the Subject line of emails in landscape mode.
In the meantime, the predictive capability still works great in Gmail, TouchDown (for MS Exchange), the Comcast Xfinity app, etc.

While you're in a document or text box typing, long press on the screen, choose Input method and then select SwiftKey X.

Hi all,
I hope you're all doing well. I can use some help if anyone is willing to lend a hand. Just recently my phone has started to act up but I only have proof of one of the issues. So I can open any browser but it'll just crash shortly after opening a page. It happens on any browser stock or (dolphin, boat, naked) I only have logcats of boat and stock though.
To the best of my knowledge the only thing I had done was update boat like 2 updates ago. I've done nothing else besides that and my ui change, but I have no other apps spontaneously crashing. Hell even other apps with built-in browsers work no problem.
I've attached two logcats of first starting the app to where it crashes and a screenshot of my rom and ui settings. If there is more information needed let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Do you get the same thing with Chrome? Also try turning off JavaScript, or force desktop mode, or incognito mode. All of those have been suggested as a workaround in the nexus 7 forums.

Hi rpr69,
So Chrome doesn't crash. That's pretty sweet but yet I find Chrome to be a lot slower than stock or anything else... Might have to hit up the 7 forums to see if there is something that I might have missed.
Just wondering though would you know if Flash might be a common element in these crashes?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually quite bizarre my browsers aren't crashing anymore... No phone reboot or anything.
the exact same thing was happening to me. I hardly even open the browser and the one time I tried, it crashed almost immediately like 10 times in a row!

Seems ok in my limited testing. I always found the prediction engine in SwiftKey to work the best, having swipe just makes it better. I was going to try the tablet version on my Nexus 7 but I guess the download site is swamped as it couldn't connect. Most likely because guys like you are posting it all over XDA...
been using it all morning so far so good
Odd... In some cases it won't let me swipe.. Like the main search on the xda app for example..

My first install was awful, it installed, but the prediction boxes on top weren't working. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it's been working fine ever since.
Although, I think it predicts words better if you actually type the words. You can't select the word you wanted to type if it guesses the wrong word

I don't like the fact that if it got the wrong word when you swipe, you have to backspace over all of the letters. I think the stock 4.2 keyboard will delete the whole word if you backspace once. It might be an option though, I haven't looked that closely yet. Other than that, no real issues. Haven't decided if I'm going to stick with it or not, even though I bought it.

I've only used Swype as far as having something to compare it to...and it seems faster to me. I also like the prediction better than swype.
I don't type often(I mostly swipe), but when I have used it for typing it seems pretty fast....a little lag now and then.. I also do NOT miss the glitches in Swype, such as not spacing automatically in the browser and other apps...this has been good for that.
Keep in mind it's a beta, and as fast as the previous version is, I'm sure this can only get better...they've already got a great start..
So its been a week. Flow works pretty smooth for me but I did notice that the prediction needs a little work. But all in all I see a solid keyboard app worth using.

Has anyone else experienced the inability to search from within a website using flow? For example, using Chrome or Google search if I navigate to xda, rotten tomatoes, imdb or android central(those are the sites that I've tested on) I can't search from within that specific site. After I switched back to SwiftKey 3 I was able to search successfully. I haven't checked the forums over at SwiftKey yet so that will be my next step. Thanks

Google Reader sharing to Facebook doesn't allow the use of flow swiping. Hope they fix that as I'm sure there are other instances it won't work.
