[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.

May changing the forum style to the xda classic helps?

Classic colors are hard to take?
Strange this site works fine on the iPad it seems rather basic?

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.

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

S Note continuously crashing...

I did not see another topic on this yet. Is anyone else losing their unsaved notes due to S Note crashing? It seems to happen most when I am switching between the three different functions.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app

yes, crashing for me too
I am also seeing lots of crashes with S-Note. It happens frequently when I change from the text recognition tool to the pen tool and back. Have lost 1 hour of notes multiple times.

I was trying to get more proficient with S-Note last night and noticed this as well. In trying to do some copy and paste in split screen i kept crashing the app. Did a full shut down last night and thought i would try again today. Had not shut down my GN for over a week and thought that might have had somerhing to do with it.

I have never understood the appeal of the handwiring recognition.
It seems to me you can just type faster and more accurately. If your handwriting is good enough for the recognition software to work flawlessly why not just write?
For me it is a gimmick.

I have big hands. I can only type fast on full-size keyboards.The pen actually woks better than a keyboard for me. Also, I got used to a Microsoft natural keyboard. Mobile and laptop keyboards are not easy for me.

Google Wallet not working at registers

Stock, rooted Touchwiz ICS. I follower the directions on XDA regarding changing the build.prop, flashing that lib fix, and flashing the fixed Wallet app, and the app seems to work well on the phone. However, I've been to several Jamba Juices, McDonalds', and 7-11s, and all had the green light at the PayPass terminals.
Can anyone help here? If worst comes to worst, can I just uninstall Wallet and then try to reinstall from scratch?

Sorry, since it was a hack, I thought it belonged in here. Mods, please move if necessary.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I had the same problem as you when I tried the hack and never got any help or answers because people decided it would be more fun to insult me and the other user who was having problems and say we didn't know how to use it. Like its that damned difficult.
Maybe someone will chime in and help because I've had this problem since I owned the phone. NFC works perfectly fine with everything but paying for stuff.

Me too, I would really like to be able to use GW because I leave the house without my wallet, on accident, all the time but never leave my phone so this would be very very handy for when I get to the store and realize I left my wallet.
When I had this problem I reset GW and uninstalled it, so I didn't mess up my secure element by flashing a different Rom without resetting it, and then I flashed a different ROM. I was on stock, rooted, and unlocked VRALG1 and after my initial failure I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.13, it was quite a while ago when I messed with GW, and was met with failure yet again. Over the course of the next few days I decided to flash every single ROM and couldn't get any GW love on any of then.
Thank god I have a friend that works at the gas station and didn't mind me trying it so frequently. Also I tried most of the ROMs in other stores in my city and none worked.

Gotcha. Speaking of uninstalling, what do I need to do to uninstall it correctly so that I don't screw up anything in case I would like to attempt to use it again in the future?

Swift key flow beta

Anyone using this yet? Pretty smooth so far..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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..

it working alright I just don't like how it stops the swipe affect on certain apps but pretty decent
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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.

U just have to hold down the back button to delete the whole word, or back up one space in order to get more suggestions..

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.
