3.1 didn't help resolve the annoying typing delay on this pad. I played with a Xoom and the small Samsung and it didn't have this problem.
Have there been any patches or fixes released? I was really hoping 3.1 would do it, but it didn't.
I also would love to get this. It's literally the ONLY issue I have with this device.
Didn't someone say turning off some option will help or switch to generic keyboard? I'm not really sure what the issue is, I don't think I've had it.
I noticed this problem pretty quickly and was very bothered by it. I tried out a couple different browsers and found that Opera was the only one with good keyboard responsiveness. While it may not be the best browser in other respects, it trumps all other browsers for this reason.
Now I wish there were an easy option to turn off tap-to-click. Damn thing throws me off everytime I type.
is this with the dock or the onscreen keyboard as well?

Yea, me too. It's pushing me to reconsider the Samsung 10.1.
I've only experienced typing lag on vBulletin based forums sites with the stock browser - and for example here on XDA if you choose the classic skin things improve quite a bit.
Its been mentioned many times before, that the "lag" isn't a "Transformer issue" per-se but a stock browser problem on certain sites. I've tried XDA with Firefox and Dolphin Mini and the there's no real lag that i can see, which further points to the stock browser..
Or are you guys experiencing lag on any web page with the stock browser?? (in which case I'll get my coat)
Try switching to the Honeycomb keyboard instead of the Asus keyboard.

Yes. The amount of lag may vary slightly between sites but it is still there and annoying. Dolphin made no difference for me. I've tested both the Xoom, Samsung and Acer in stores and they don't seem to have the problem.
The best test for A/B comparing purposes is to just type the numbers 1 thru 9 quickly and see what's left when you are done. For me when I'm done "7" is usually on the screen.
Try this temp fix
1. go to google.com
2. select settings in the upper right and click on search settings
3. disable google instant
This seems much better for me. Others may vary.

I've figured it out. It's a text box issue. Go into XDA forum settings. Change the text box to "simple "and skin to classic and enjoy lag free typing on this forum.
I'm pretty sure ASUS will post an update for this typing lag... althought typing lag has improved only slightly by changing user agent to Tablet (or to Android on dolphin browser)... will just have to be patient on the update

Makes no difference here (and of course it wouldn't help when using any other website that requires a typed response).

I hate the responsiveness of the Asus keyboard, but the stock keyboard does a nice job. I wish the layout was better, but I will take the responsiveness of the stock keyboard over the layout of the Asus one with crappy responsiveness.

Both keyboards are the same for me. I just came back from the mall where I tested a Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab , T-Mobile G-Slate and iPad and none of them had any delay anywhere. I simply go to the forum, log in and type 123456789 in an empty reply to a message and see what's left when I am finished typing. The only problematic one seems to be the Asus.
U know what , out of the typing delay frustration i went on to try my most trusted browser for my froyo phone, miren and walla no lag in typing. But since miren is not build for honeycomb there are some fc here n there as expected. But the feature i love most, the smart full screen still works in honeycomb yay !!!
Part from that, it also doesnt have the image tearing issue when u scroll the browser quickly most probably related to hardware acceleration that is implemented on honeycomb browser.
Conclusion,the typing lag is definitely caused by the browser itself or even the webkit itself :-(
Too bad miren's developement stopped :-(
I think there's more than one "typing delay" issue here.
The one that I'm having 1) does not depend on which keyboard is used, and 2) is just as bad on Xoom. Just go to http://slashdot.org, open any story, and try to post a comment there - and watch characters you type being entered at like 1 per second...
I am typing this on the dolphin browser HD which has just been updated today. I am using Smart keyboard pro and cannot notice any lag. This reply is on the XDA 2010 theme.

I just tried downloading the free trial of Smart Keyboard Pro and keep getting "Purchase Cancelled, error processing purchase."
Hmmm, seems I can't download anything from the Market ... get the same error with Dolphin.
This May just be Another Rant Thread But Hear Me Out. If you Hate The Touchscreen Keyboard Lag on stock Transformer Keyboard then You Really Should Try some other options. I switched to Thumb Keyboard and although not Perfect It waaay Snappier Than the Stock Asus one. If you havent tried out other Keyboards you really Should. It Can make a World of Difference. Plus Thumb Keyboard is So Highly Customizable!

Troll. -_-
Don't really want to buy the Thumb Keyboard yet. I have Swiftkey and gave that a try. It lags badly with the stock browser, same as the ASUS and Android keyboards.
All the keyboards work just fine with Opera though (and they worked okay with 3.0.1 before the 3.1 update).
go to stock browser type in about:debug press enter. now go to settings and new settings will be there uncheck the first option... download and install thumb keyboard NO LAG!

I know this is off-topic for this thread, but I find it quite interesting how often I find people who used to type like I did.
As You Read In My First Paragraph, I Have Now "Out Grown" (Or, Morever, Forced Myself Out Of The Habit) Typing In Camel Caps.
The Weird Thing Is, In My Research It Apparently Only Becomes a Habit For Programmers. I Started Typing Like This At A Very Young Age, Probably To Make Myself Seem Older Than I Was Online, And I Always Wonder The Circumstances For Other People Whom I See Type Like This On Internet.
In any case, thanks for the tip. I'm getting a Transformer 5 days from now, and was looking on XDA in the meantime.
Just got this keyboard, completing changes the way I type on the tabet for the better
It's on sale at Amazon for .99 right now. There's still some lag, bit it's hard to notice while you're typing. Indispensible.

So you mean uncheck " enable opengl rendering in the debug options". I just did that and it is much better with and without the keyboard, also without thumb keyboard.
Trying out Thumb Keyboard, I can definitely vouch for the improved responsiveness in typing, even on demanding sites such as this forum. The lag is more bearable now, so maybe I could go back to the stock Browser since it has the best layout of all the others, IMO.
There is a new swype 3.0 keyboard available in beta that works great!

I'm using Tablet Keyboard Free. Takes awhile to get used to.
When I installed Android 3.1 on my Transformer, I began getting ridiculous keyboard lag when using the stock browser. I tried three different keyboards with different websites, but continued to have a lot of lag. If I used Opera, then no keyboard lag.
I'm curious of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has experienced this keyboard lag with the stock browser with 3.1 installed?
entering urls seems to be fine for me. typing in a text box on a website(e.g. xda) can be pretty painful though. I mean, you can still do it but it could definitely be much better
I've not noticed any.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with Honeycomb. I experienced lag while trying to type in text boxes on websites with my Acer Iconia before I returned it. I ended up typing what I wanted in notepad, then pasting it into the browser.
I noticed some pretty serious lag on my XOOM device under 3.1.
I found an effective fix: Dsabled the Opengl rendering setting and then enabled the Normal rendering on the browser's Debug setting. Disabling the Opengl prevents the browser from properly playing the flash embedded objects though.
I am not sure this fix would address Samsung devices, but may be worth a try.
Waiting for my pre-ordered unit.
My Samsung had serious keyboard lag until I turned off the haptic feedback. Now it's fine.
So, this issue is related to stock browser only, correct?
Have you tried Dolphin HD and/or Opera Mobile?
I am not saying thise are alternative, but interested to know if those web browsers also suffers the same issue.
Thanks.

On my Xfrmr it happens with any browser. Sometimes it's horrible and sometimes a little bit better. I was hoping the GT 10.1 wouldn't have this issue. Hearing that I might just stay with the Xfrmr. Cheaper price and uSD slot and other than a couple ounces lighter I see no big advantage.

I Own an Eee Pad Transformer and That Typing lag is Horrendous. Im going to be getting a Gtab 10.1 In the next few weeks and selling my Tab + Dock but thats beside the point. I Made this Thread just for an FYI. for Those who didnt know and wanted a Fix for Typing Lag, Opera Browser Mobile is Perfect. Using Opera Browser Mobile Feels Soo much smoother when typing with NO LAG what so ever. For those who are on ends, You should Try this out. Also an FYI, for people who Think Opera Mobile Just shows Mobile versions of websites, it doesnt. You can set it to a Full Desktop View Now with New Update.
Hope This Helps People out ~ Cheers ~
Edit: Opera Now Supports Flash. Tested and works! yay for updates. Also it Supports desktop without having to go to hidden menu.
"Only Thing Opera is missing is Flash Support."
LOL! That's a pretty major thing to be missing don't ya think?!

LOL Yeah but they cant without Source since Opera is built Differently. Gotta wait for Google to release it, If they do. Theyre being picky with HoneyComb. still the Smoothness is worlds different. you'll notice the typing difference right away.
Look like the new version opera mobile 11.1 has a agent setting, support flash, and has a exit button. So no need to go into about:config to set the agent. Too bad the font is still pretty small compare to default and dolphin HD. I havent tried out 11.1 but with 11 there was still some lag when typing on this forum.

Strange. I Have no Lag. Maybe its because Im using Thumb Keyboard too. I also turned off all Auto Corrections and grammar corrections.
Been using Opera Mobile for a little while. Love this browser, was bothered by the lack of agent setting, but now that can be turned on. Also was able to watch Flash and that worked good.
Really like the browser alot.
I never had lag on my Opera, what settings did you have?

1) typing is indeed much better. no more blue highlights in text boxes which seems to be the cause.
2) text selection is steadier.. the cursor seems to pick the right position more accurately and without the real annoying cursor jumping.
Dislikes
1) when typing this response.. the typing indicator started right in the middle of the reply text box with no way to put it at the top line.
2) font is smaller than stock browser and dolphin HD
3) scrolling is not as smooth as stock browser and dolphin hd
4) loading pages is slower than stock browser and dolphin hd
5) no full screen viewing
6) bookmarks are not as easy to access like dolphin HD
with all that said.. it is such a relief to be able to type without lag and to be able to set the cursor more accurately. I'll stick to opera for now until dolphin or stock gets rid of the lag.

I am also using the thumb keyboard and have xda set to classic view. The lag comes and goes. There is major lag if I have music playing in the background with either default music player or player pro. This lag is on both my TF and 10.1. I havent tried out 11.1 yet, hopefully there lag is gone.
I just started using Opera and the typing is indeed much better. I think everything is crisper looking too. Everything in Dolphin HD seems soft and scrolling in both Dolphin and the stock browser is nothing to brag about. They may scroll, but content loads after.

I have two g tabs, and one is unlocked.
I don't experience any of the keyboard lag that everyone writes about.
Problem #1: lack of hotkeys. Control T, Control F, etc do not work.
Problem #2: "Shift + c" is mapped to "backspace", and "Shift + b" is bound to enter. The only way to type a capital C or B in Chrome is to hit the key twice in rapid succession, which first causes a backspace/enter, then types the letter.
If you all could so kindly go into Chrome, go to settings, click Under The Hood, click Send Feedback, and write off a quick description of the problem to Google, let's try to get them to fix it. Google's support is typically pretty lackluster, and it generally takes many people acknowledging and reporting a problem to get it fixed!
I'm still god damn floored by how awesome Chrome is. JSNES (NES emulator written in JavaScript) runs at 25 FPS in Super Mario Bros. That benchmark alone gets me a little hard, as my old notebook doesn't even handle it that well. But with the above two problems, it's kinda annoying to use it, especially the lack of control T to open new tab as that's just become instinctual over the past 8 years.

I'm not familiar with JSNES, what's it do in the old browser? I ask because on a completely stock, just-wiped US TF101 running ICS, I get a slightly (but outside margin of error) *worse* Javascript score in the Chrome beta, than I do with the stock browser. I also find the scrolling lag on Chrome beta to be awful -- the stock browser is orders of magnitude better.
I want to like Chome, and I'm sure I will eventually when the bugs are worked out, but so far it isn't usable for my purposes.
Perhaps related to the scrolling thing, I also noticed if I check chrome://gpu-internals/ that I get "WebGL: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration disabled." and "Problems detected. WebGL has been disabled, either via about:flags or command line."
Edit: No, not related. Just googled and now know WebGL's for 3D graphics.

Where did you try it? It only occurs in text boxes within the actual page. In the URL bar and other places, Shift C/B work fine, but if you try to respond to this post in Chrome and use shift C, it should backspace. It also makes capital C and B impossible to enter in password fields -- really annoying.

It ran fine in the HC browser, just slow. To be fair I checked it in ICS browser and it gets the same FPS as Chrome, glad to know stock ICS browser is just as capable, but it doesn't handle the actual page anywhere near as well as Chrome does, for ex it cannot hook the keys to get keyboard input like Chrome does. I suspect Chrome's compatibility far surpasses that of the stock browser, perhaps costing it a bit of performance in benchmarks?
Haven't really had any scrolling issues whatsoever.

Interesting. Pretty-much any long web page (say, Engadget or similar), if I load the page, let it finish loading, then swipe my finger across the screen to scroll, I'm instantly into a white page until I stop scrolling, or at the very least I get significant stuttering. With the stock browser, the same trick gives me a perfect preview of the fast scroll, so I can stop it in the right place with a tap of my finger.
Even when scrolling slowly, Chrome is noticeably stuttery for me, nowhere near as smooth as the stock browser's scrolling.

Interesting. Lates t version of chrome from the market? What region ICS version? What version dock? You are doing this in CHROME, right? It's affecting a lot of us, interesting that it works for some. The same problem even occurs on the TF Prime. You spamming the keys doesn't really show that it's working though, as if you hold shift and hit "c" twice, it will backspace once then type out C, but when you press down shift, hit c, then let go of shift, it only does a backspace.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
US region ICS, dock version EP101-0213. Yes, this is the latest Chrome Beta from the market. Yes, I'm actually using the hardware keyboard, and yes I'm actually typing this through Chrome. The keyboard spam was for effect - if you read my post you would have noticed I also said that I had used the above to login in to different places (the problem doesn't happen text inputs, text areas, or password inputs). Yes, other people are having the issue, but I'm not.
If you're interested, I did a clean install of the official .21 HC firmware (with a wipe), then did the OTA update and wiped it again before rooting it.
Hadn't actually tried it myself, so here's a fourth (fifth? forget how many replies we've had...) opinion:
* Ctrl-T, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-N: Do not work
* C and B type just fine for me on the first try, by holding down shift and typing the letter on the physical keyboard, in Chrome. That's how I just did it, in this post. No backspace, no enter for either combination.
I have a B60 dock with EP101-0213, a just-wiped, unrooted, stock ICS US build, and although I'm using the physical keyboard to type the whole of this post, I'm set to the stock ICS soft keyboard, not Asus' modified one.
I, too, did a double-wipe, once before updating and once after ICS was installed.
I can only reproduce this when I have the ASUS keyboard selected. Using the normal Android one it's not reproducable.
So, that's a workaround if anything.

Interesting, this does fix it for me now, even though I had tried it previously. It makes me wonder, what "compatibility" does ASUS speak of when you get the warning message using stock ICS keyboard with the dock? Thinking back to when I was using thumb keyboard on HC, I never noticed any issues not having the ASUS keyboard enabled.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Beats me, I've yet to find any slight incompatibility between the physical keyboard and the stock ICS keyboard. I wonder if they're not suggesting an incompatibility with the stock one, but rather practicing CYA with respect to all the other third-party keyboards on the market?
Does the ASUS keyboard need to be used only if you want access to all of the hotkeys on the dock (Transformer Prime)? Or is there any other reason not to switch over to the standard keyboard to avoid the SHIFT-C bug?
There is something specifically related to Chrome here. The standard browser has no problem with SHIFT-C or B using the dock w/ASUS keyboard selected. Chrome is the only application I have found that has this problem.

Can't speak to the Prime, but with the TF101, the hotkeys work just fine regardless of which soft keyboard you're using, the Asus one or the stock one. Just tested, I don't use the Asus one, I'm on the stock ICS keyboard but I just tested and absolutely every hotkey works correctly regardless.
The only problem I've encountered is that special characters specific for your language will not work properly. Or in my case, åäö. You can still do capital Bs and Cs - just click B and C again after typing it and it should pop. Fiddly as hell, but I'm sure if enough users report it something will be done.
Bloody' ell, the Asus keyboard isn't exactly a thing of dreams.

Interesting, so for native English speakers, there's basically no reason to use the Asus soft keyboard then. Unless for some strange reason you like it, that is.
