Anyone else noticing incredible input lag with default Asus on screen keyboard? Switched to android default and it is considerably faster just winder if anyone else was seeing similar results.

Yes, I've just switched keyboards and totally agree.

yep. i got fed up with the asus one

I agree. The stock one is almost unusable because it lags so much.

I went to stock. The Asus one was laggy, unresponsive etc.. I do like their layout better though.

If you want the swipe type keyboard then I would suggest flex T9, if you want one to type with then I would recommend smart keyboard pro which allows you to change the width and height of the keys to suit your finger size. They are both available on the market but will cost you a little bit for the privilege however they are both fantastic to use without any lag. I prefer the flexT9 one as swiping is my preferred method of text entry.

thumb keyboard gets a nod from me.. and the new v4 beta adds some great new features.. also, I posted a while back that for some reason, text entry on some forums is inherantly laggy on the stock browser, no matter what keyboard you use (try switching to Firefox) to see what I mean so its possible the Asus keyboard may be getting a bit of an unfair rap ;-)

i recently downloaded thumb keyboard. Very customizable and makes it easy to type while holding the device in either orientation. ..

The Asus keyboard is laggy on everything, there is defnitely a delay even using Quick office.

I love the asus keyboard. I've no issues with lag, only wished auto corrects is better. Like i just typed "ive" and it doesnt correct to "I've" and other simple things like pressing i doesn't auto correct to I.

I think that was one of the first changes I made to the device, get a better keyboard on.
thumb keyboard is pretty good and responsive.
I am so use to swype on my htc evo though.

Honeycomb Swype

Swype beta is open now with honeycomb support. For phone users there is an update as well.

Just installed it a few minutes ago. Works pretty good. Much easier to type since the tablet's screen is big so you can "Swype" more easily.
Reminder: Do not post any Swype apk files on XDA. It's not allowed.
That being said, the Beta is open again so join and you'll get accepted.

just ditched thumb keyboard for the time

I was already in the beta. When trying to install on TF it says this device is not android device. Thoughts?

Make sure your Transformer browser's user-agent is set to Tablet, not Desktop.
It's in the Browser settings under Advance.

Bingo. Thanks. I was using the dolphin browser so using stock did the trick

first impressions are great! Typing from swype now

Wow I love the small keyboard and that its moveable!!!!

Okay got an email with the beta code, but getting an error when tryong to log in with my email address n code....

It's pretty nice. Wish we could move the keyboard all around the screen instead of just on the bottom.

Wow, shows up one day after I broke down and bought Thumb Keyboard. Which, by the way, is only $0.99 from Amazon right now, so it isn't like I broke the bank.
The "shrink" button really makes a nice difference in usability IMO, but I'm still sticking with TK for now. The one-sided keyboard (with the blank space to hold the tablet) is really awesome IMO, and I find that I have really good typing speed on the split keyboard + auto correct.

Going back to tablet keyboard free.
The perfect tablet keyboard would be a split keyboard with swype input. Until that happens I will be using the thumb keyboard split just like on tablet keyboard free.

Loving this new swype

So much easier to use with one finger. Though I'll probably still use thumb keyboard when typing an email. And it seems there's a horrible lag when typing in the browser with swype...

i installed just a moment ago. Really lik swype. its what my transtormer was missing. The browser lag is still there but not as noticeable to me now. Glad this update waa released.

thanks. installed and long time swype user however the hc skin for tk split keyboard is still champ for now. i will remain testing to see if my opinion changes. thanks for posting.

Does anybody actually think the movable keyboard is a good idea? I'm loving Swype on HC, but don't see why anybody would want to put it in that "movable" mode. I could see it making sense if it didn't cover the entire bottom of the screen anyway, but it does. Maybe, I just don't get it....

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

There is nothing for WW, for now... i wonder if the update will pop up for rooted users.
Can anyone with this new update from US can say if the pop up to update appear with rooted stock, like with One-Click Universal root for stock firmware?

Wow...that supernote paint mode is REALLY nice.

Does anyone know if scribbled text can be converted to real text, with this new supernote app?
I couldn't find it, without this text scribbling is useless to me, because it takes longer to read it

Anyone wanna pull the supernote app out of their stock ROM for us that are on customs? Thanks

If this fixes the aggressive background process reaping problem I've been having with system_server I'll be super happy. Fingers crossed ... just installed, let's see how it goes.

Oups. I hope so !

supernote looks nice, no voice recording or handwriting recognition though. i will have to check out the browser and see if it works as good as dolphin or opera now.

On screen keyboard while docked? (JB)

Hello everyone,
I'm not an tf300 user, but I'm searching for a solution for my brother. For specific reasons he need to use the on-screen keyboard even while docked, but this option is disabled since he updated it to JellyBean... Is there a solution for it? He is completely stock non rooted...
Thanks!

This seems to work for me. Either press Ctrl+ Shift on the dock and then you will see the an option to turn the physical keyboard off. If Ctrl and shift doesn't work for you, click the little keyboard in the bar at the bottom and select it to off from there. The below picture is when i press Ctrl+Shift

Thank you, I'll tell him your way! He said that even if he choose to display it, but I think he did it from Input Settings and not with Ctrl/Shift...

If Ctrl+shift doesn't work, try doing it by clicking the little keyboard icon on the left hand side of the clock whilst typing in the status bar.

Apex launcher and wallpaper

So I installed apex because I think it's more stable then nova. I tried to set my custom wallpaper and in landscape mode no issues but in portrait mode I see the wallpaper above and all icons at the bottom with a black background. Is it normal? And can I solve this horrible situation?

It's been discussed in various threads in this section, do a little search for "wallpaper" in their names. I don't remember if it got fixed eventually, but it's a common problem with Apex and Nova on the Infinity.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29610762&postcount=1
Is that still the best way to do it? It's the only thing I've seen and that was back from July. Every other thread I found while searching mentions "use the search".
A lot of the time that's helpful, until there's so many people saying to do searches that nothing else really comes up.

Wallpaper problem irritated me beyond imagination, was on a quest for solution. The one you found is actually the only one - and even this one is not perfect as the live wallpaper slows down the apex launcher - at least it did for me.
You have two additional options: live with it and hope for the best in future releases, go back to stock launcher and live with a fact that you don't use Apex. I went with the first one
I actually don't even miss it anymore as i just don't use my tablet in portrait mode while not in apps....so, problem solved

Try Quickpic from Google play.
I` m using Nova and the "wallpaper bug"Is gone with it.
PS: Use the cropping tool from Quickpic and NOT the system one.

Okay, I've been using QuickPic forever and I'm currently running Nova Prime 1.3beta8, and the portrait wallpaper cropping issue still exists. Can you give more detailed instructions on how you're getting a different result than the rest of us?

Uups, I have installed Nova (but not set as standard), installed Quickpic, set a wallpaper and pressed HOME -> wallpaper fitted exactly. (in stock launcher)
So it doesn't work... sorry.
