[Q] Text input lag in browser only? only on forms

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.

Firefox is awesome on the transformer, but...

... 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.

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!

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.

[Q] Typeing Lag Fix Yet?

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.

Keyboard lag

Am the only one experiencing it or it will be fixed on ICS?

Please anyone?

no keybord lag Here, only in browser

i meant in browser

I have minimal keyboard lag in browser. It's so minimal that it doesn't bother me.

I'm on my second Transformer. The first was livable, you could tell that there was lag, but not so much to frustrate you. The second one came with the lapdock. It may as well not have a keyboard for how slow the response is. It is particularly bad in the browser, but the slow down is felt everywhere. I do hope ICS resolves this problem

keyboard lag
the keyboard lag is dependent on your internet connection speed as when you are connected to the internet when you type it sends it straight to the site and waits for the return before it puts it up on the screen, when i have WiFi at home in England i do not have any keyboard lag but whilst i am out here in Puerto Rico using a mobile connection the lag can be up to 3 to 5 seconds, the only way to fix it is to get a faster connection to the internet.
regards paul

The lag problem is well documented and discussed. It's predominantly an issue related to the stock browser, so most folks have gone to another browser such as Opera Mobile (the absolute best browser currently available for this device IMHO).
Everyone is hoping that this is fixed in ICS, but I secretly doubt it will better Opera Mobile.
Now if only someone could figure out how to map the browser key on the dock to another browser....

I agree with Globespy. You may give Opera Mobile a try it is really good! Although Firefox is slowly getting usable too.

[Q] Massive keyboard lag with Dolphin browser

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.
