So when I'm playing a video through the browser it seems that 80% of the time the buffer bar freezes about 3 seconds into what I'm playing. The video continues and I can pause the video but am unable to slide the "orb" to fast forward rewinding and the FF RW buttons do nothing. I don't seem to have this issue when playing Youtube videos however.
My second annoyance would be when on Google s sit while typing in searches the phone sometimes goes crazy and regardless of what letter is typed it fills the search bar with jibberish. The delete button operates poorly but eventually it corrects itself and I can type as normal.
Just wondering if these are specific to me or if others are experiencing these issues as well. I my apologies for the Grammer and punctuation, I typed this rather rapidly on my phone. Thanks.
I have had a similar issue with the google search box. Thought it was a SwiftKey thing though. To get around I switch to stock and then back to SwiftKey and then the gibberish is able to be deleted. Don't know if that helps. i had same issue on my tf201 which is why I thought it was just a SwiftKey thing..
The Google search bar I can get use to but the video slider is becoming increasingly frustrating.
I am sure this is a software thing, but when I use voice dictation in a text message it just continues to listen even after I hit send... so if I start talking to someone else it is dictating my conversation the entire time. Sometimes that is hilarious, but when driving it is a bit annoying. Any way to force it to stop after I hit the send button?
Also, how the heck can I use the voice app to send the message without actually touching the phone? (I know that is off topic, so feel free to ignore or delete this). PM me if you prefer to keep this on topic.
No issues adding your question and I don't use voice dictation so I'm not sure.
Is no one able to add insight on the buffer bar issues in the video player? My searches are returning no results.
I have the same issues, had them on CM10 and Synergy

if you used swiftkey and used the "learn from facebook/twitter/gmail" function, sometimes it messes it up and you can unlearn those things in the swiftkey settings app. or you can switch from auto-correct mode to precise mode. and as for the browser buffer, you can use third party browsers from play store... if that wont work you may want to flash a different rom, custom or stock...

Since the mango update there is a small change slightly irritating me.
Everytime when I push the power butten when in sleepmode the lockscreen shows.
But since mango it takes about 1 second to show the information like date, texts, mails etc..
Does anybody has the same problem and knows how to fix it?
I hate it also i dont think you can fix it
same situation on my mozart, it's unfortunate but maybe it'll get fixed
the thing goes away if there's song active in mini player. so, go and play a song, stop it, turn off the screen and then turn it on again. there will be no more lag in displaying clock and callendar.
the lag will come back if you go and play a video. the song will go away from the mini player, and lag will be present till the next time you play a song.

That one second must be killing you
For me it's not a big deal. I guess this might be battery saving feature so phone doesn't have to sync all the time while it's off.
I had this problem and it ended up going away on its own after a few days.
I have a focus
I had this issue during the beta, however it was fixed in final release. Not sure what to tell ya.
I assume it takes about a second to gather the data, but I haven't suffered that delay either. It probably depends on how much email and contacts and other data that you may have.

I can confirm this. I did a few tests this afternoon. Youtube videos do not appear to invoke the bug, but videos played in the music/video app doe result in the delay.
I created an account on xda just to tell phobius87 what an outstanding individual he/she is. Treat yourself to a milkshake Phobius, or, if you're lactose intolerant and of legal age...enjoy a smooth refreshing alcoholic beverage.
whenever i go to google and start typing in something to search the moment i get one letter in, the screen changes to the google results screen and i have to click the search box numerous times to get it to work. once i finally do theres a 1sec delay from when i type the letter to when it appears on the screen. anyone have that issue?
I used to. Now I use www.google.com/m and it works fine.

I would often get annoying behavior too. I will have to try out the /m page. Thanks
I bought the tf700 about a month and a half ago after waiting close to 9 months for it. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems, but I am not sure if the tablet is defective or I'm doing (maybe not doing) something to cause these issues. I have noticed people on other threads are experiencing some of the same issues, but not all of them. The problems include:
*browser constantly crashing/closing
*having to touch the screen multiple times for it to respond
*some websites or appls reloading/flashing multiple times while trying to scroll or type something
*while trying to type, the cursor moving around, jumping to the front of words or deleting words
*taking quite a while for webpages to load
*screen freezes
I really hope that these are problems tat can be fixed because I anticipated this tablet for so long. I find myself frequenly just giving up and switching to my desktop for faster results because it is extremely annoying trying to google something and the page closing or have to retype words in mulitple times because they get erased while typing. I have given up on trying to use the facebook app because the page gets all jumbled up or freezes constantly.
Please give me any advice or suggestion to how to fix these problems or do I just own a defective device?

perform a hard reset and see if that helps. it won't erase anything so no worries.
power down tablet
hold power and vol down until you get to a boot screen
let go and just let it boot the rest of the way
and if you're using the dock, turn off the touchpad when you type. i find that i always hit it which is why my cursor jumped around. not sure if it's the same thing you're seeing.
Thank you! I am going to try that right now!!!! I dont have the keyboard dock =( so maybe I am hitting the screen or something but I have tried to type letter by letter before and sometimes it happens then too. AHH
Hard reset in prgoress..
the issue with the browser closing seems to be an android issue right now and not exclusive to the tf700. I've seen threads complaining about the same browser closing issues on other devices and have seen it myself on my phone as well as the infinity. It doesn't seem to be isolated to one browser either.
Hi,
I am sort of new to this forum and I hope I am posting this in the right place. Apologies if there is a thread about this elsewhere but I have looked online and couldn't find a thread about this issue. It is hard for me to describe in words about the issue I am facing but I will try and be as descriptive as possible
For quite sometime now I find that my nexus 5 keyboard has become extremely glitchy and choppy. I find that the keyboard isn't as smooth as it was when I first got my device. There seems to be a bit of a lag between the time I press the key to the when the characters actually appear. It is very apparent when I am typing sentences in one flow. This is causing too many typos and is extremely annoying. I could, at one time, comfortably type long text messages with hardly any typos. The typos that I get can be considered almost impossible to generate unless you are willingly typing random characters
I am on android 4.4.4 and this problem has existed for the past couple of months. I don't have any custom firmware installed. My frequently used messaging apps are Viber, WhatsApp and Google hangouts. But this issue seems to be there even when I am typing something in the browser
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Have you tried a different keyboard? Like SwiftKey

Hi MasterElaichi and welcome to the forums.
The keyboard that your using for your messaging apps is the same as the one in your browser also... Im pretty sure that it's the Google keyboard by default.
I actually use Android Keyboard (AOSP) instead of the standard Google Keyboard and can switch between the two if I want the the system settings menu.
Couple things you could try-
To start you can go to "System Settings/Language and Input" then scroll down to keyboard and input methods. Click on the settings menu to the right of the Google keyboard or what ever keyboard you have selected. and go through you settings and make sure everything is set to your preference (just by chance somehow the settings have change) and check your auto correction aggressiveness, I have mine set to Modest.
Other than that you can try and and go to "System Settings/Apps/All" then select Google keyboard and clear the Data and Cache. This will wipe you personal dictionary if you have one though.
If the following doesn't work and the Google keyboard keeps acting up, you might want to try an different keyboard all together. Like Android Keyboard (AOSP) or Swiftkwey or Kii keyboard... Just some popular one to recommend.
Hi,
Thanks for all your responses. I have tried swiftkey in the past but I find it weird. For some reason I prefer a standard keyboard
My google keyboard settings are set to the default. I have turned off vibrations and the auto correct is set at modest. I have tried clearing the cache numerous times in the past but that doesn't work either
If I were to type this message using my Nexus 5, it would be riddled with typos and spaceless words. I am talking about typos that are impossible to get when you are in the flow and just typing away. For example, when I want to type "m', the letter "m" pops up, but the character that appears in the text area is either "." or the previous character would have disappeared. Similar thing with space bars. Sometimes pressing a space bar will just create a space but the characters may not appear
I have tried using my phone in safe mode but it helps only a little bit. I did contact the google support centre. As expected, they are asking me to do a factory reset and if that doesn't work they say they will rma my phone
Hi,
I uninstalled apps like Viber and Whatsapp thinking they could be the cause. I have also been running my device on safe mode. The problem still persists
I found this thread online. My problem is quite similar this one here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274818
The only difference is that the OP here had an issue with an HTC. The problem appears to be keys that are close together are getting pressed. And I am certain my finger's aren't that fat and stubby that multiple keys get pressed
I don't want to factory reset my phone without exhausting all my options to fix this problem. Any input will be helpful
Thank you
So I have decided to do a hard reset on my phone hoping that would resolve my keyboard issue. I have managed to backup my photos and stuff to google doc. i wanted to back up my whatsapp data onto my laptop but for some reason my laptop (vista) isn't detecting my phone
I have reinstalled whatsapp in the past after removing and I didn't lose my whatsapp data. Do you think a hard reset will make my whatsapp data irretrievable? I am asking because there is an option in whatsapp, when you install it, that asks if you want to back up conversations

if you hard reset and wipe the internal memory then your whatsapp back up will be deleted.
Try and uninstall any keyboard updates you may have done.
I would say the same thing and it would be the first thing I would try, uninstall the updates and data in settings/apps. The google keyboard works fine on my N5 and N7.
I performed a wipe cache partition through recovery mode. There seems to be some improvement but it is too soon to tell
Currently on Nitrogen OS for Nexus 6. I've been having an issue where I will hold the home button down to pull up search, tap on the search bar to bring up the keyboard, and within a few seconds the search bar clears itself and closes the keyboard. I made a screen recording to show you the issue in action. The first instance I don't type anything, just wait, and it closes itself. The second time I started typing and it happens again. So basically every time I open search I have to tap the search bar, wait for the keyboard to close, then tap the search bar again, then it works... until i need to search something else.
Here is the recording of the issue in action
I've posted this issue in multiple places and nobody knows the answer. Some people have said they've experienced this issue while on stock and with other mods installed and on different phones. No idea how to figure out what exactly is causing this.
And here is a logcat of the crash.
