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.....

I am using the stock keyboard. Anyone else have more luck using thumb keyboard?
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.

Going to give hackers keyboard a try see if that helps, thank you.
Hi guys, I'm looking for a appropriate browser for my Transformer with dock keyboard. I have tried many, but no one satisfy me because everyone has an input lag when I write comments on blogs, or when I open a topic here on xda: When I type a key on the keyboard, the letter appears on the screen with a delay that varies from 1 to 2 seconds depending on the browser I use. This problem I have not seen in browsers like firefox, browser-qq, Miren browser (disappeared from market), but these are very slow, and Miren browser crashes often. other browsers like Opera, Maxthon, etc., all have the same problem ... some of you here can tell me if there is any change in the apk file to reduce the input lag, or suggest to me some of the browsers that do not have this input lag?
boat browser.
I've tried stock, opera, firefox, dolphin, & maxathon. If they aren't lacking with keyboard response - they're usually lacking something else. Boat browser is the best tablet browser in my experience.

Wow, never heard of boat browser... Tried it and i love it
I've tried boat browser, and the input lag is less than others, but there's always a bit ... anything else?
Nothing works well as Dolphin for Tab, in my experience. Btw, I don’t have lags with stock or opera neither, the only thing that annoys me is the half-second lag in the stock browser when you click in an empty text box, due to the keyboard appearing on screen. But this too is not there with Dolphin for Tab (it is different from Dolphin HD, be careful, and I suppose that with the “for Tab” edition you can’t use add-ons yet).
Provalo, è davvero una bomba!
with ipad user agent and without resize page to screen, boat browser and dolphin for pad, work well a bit... thank you grazie
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.
Hi there,
I'm new, so I can not post a message in the dev forum yet. So i hope someone can help me out.
I flashed my girlfriends tf300t with CromXi 4.7. Everything works butter smooth, but do not use the disable fsync feature. To risky for me.
The problem I have is with browsing some websites. I will give you 2 urls.
zalando.nl
tablet.hm.com
When broswing to zalando, with the default browser, chrome or dolphin with jetpack, i get the error message "....doublickick.net url not found" in to frames on the main page.
I already removed the ad blocker app, but still no result. On my iPad it shows perfect and I can not figure out what the problem is. On any other android tablet it also works perfectly. So CromXi is blocking doubleclick some how.
When browsing to tablet.hm.com (yes, she likes shopping online) with the dolphin browser and you click for instance man -> schoenen and scroll down, you see the main top bar rebuilding itself. This does not happen with chrome or the default browser.
Dolphin is still the best browser of them all.
The irritating thing with the default browser is that the url bar disappears when you stop scrolling. I can not figure out how to disable this "feature".
I don't want to use chrome, because it's irritatingly slow. Same goes for firefox.
Hope you can help me out.
Solved the problem on tablet.hm.com. It was the Jetpack. After disabling it, the top menu bar stayd while scrolling and didn't rebuild it self.
Leaves the doublick.net block with every browser. Strange problem.....

Maybe try boat browser? Or in dolphin set ipad in browser mode (i dont rremember if it is possible)?
In boat u can set ipad, but it works even in "normal" (mobile) mode.
Boat look similar to chrome
Sent using tf300t - CROMI-X/Hundsbuah
Well the problem is with every browser, not just dolphin. And it is on the tf300.
So when browsing to zalando.nl with Chrome, Dolphin or the default browser on the TF300T with CROMI-X, I see page could not be found with the url ....doubleclick.net. I also have this on othe webpages who uses doubleclick.net.
The same happens when searching in google and clicking an advertisement link in the top of the page. the error shown sais "Page not available. ....googleadservices.com/.....". This is also in chrome, dolphin and the default browser.
I have no idea what the problem is and it looks like its blocking advertisement links.
It's definately not the network, because i don't see the error on a galaxy tab with the stock rom or ipad. I also didn't have this problem with the stock Asus Rom. So it has to be something in Cromi-X.
I already removed the adblocker, but still the problem remains.

SOLVED
Oke, so it's ofcourse my mistake.
What I did was disable the adaway blocker through configuration - apps. I just disabled the app. What i didn't know was that the app changed the hosts file. So after reenabling the app and disabling it through the app itself, it showed my the message to restore the default hosts file.
After a reboot everything works just perfectly!!
Hi All, I have had three phone for the last 2 weeks. This week the phone has frozen at least 3/4 times a day while browsing. Generally happens when scrolling down, I use the Google Chrome browser. The only way to reactivate the screen is by pressing power button to turn off the screen and turning the screen back on again. I just hope it's not a hardware fault ? O just wondering if there a setting I need to change.
Chrome was having issues.
Try another browser like opera see if that changes anything
Mate, don't use Chrome. It is one of the worst browsers on Android. I recommend using the Brave browser or an older version of Firefox.

Thanks for your replies guys. I take it the concensus is not to use Chrome on Android phones ? Will try out Firefox for now as that seems to be a well known browser.
I was getting it loads on my XZ2 brand new X5II and gutted to still get it.
I've switched to DuckDuckGo browser now, pretty seamless so far.
Also, many websites, even the biggest ones, are poorly optimized for smartphones. Lots of ads or badly implemented scrips, lazyload etc. But most problems are usually caused by a browser.
I've had this issue too, but ironically with Brave, as frostitomik suggested to use instead of Chrome .
Quick fix for me is to use the task switcher soft key, but choose the same browser app again. It seems to unlock it.
Same here in different Apps. Never saw it on my other phones. I think it's a Sony issue.
I am using sony as well, but you could search on Google, people are experiencing the same problem on different phone models that could be dated back to 2019.
A different app is usually still using a chromium base browser, did you try firefox?
Tho, I found the freezing "app" problem would only occurred when u are browsing website with a relatively heavy load in images and videos, or a very long document.
My personal solution is simply pressing the overview button and going back to the browser.
