Slow Text Entry?

Is is just me, or is the text entry kind of pathetic on the browser of the tab
any desktop site, like.. Facebook , or XDA, typing lags always a second, so the words and letters typed will show up after you actually type, its not smooth at all...

*laughs hard*
I think there might have been a few discussions about this. Yeah, it's an issue. Dolphin or Opera Mini will work better.

So I think I may have a fix for this. I was digging around in the keyboard settings, and noticed that the Tab ships with "Samsung Keyboard" as the default. I switched mine back to the stock Android keyboard, and it's much better. Of course there are a bunch of replacement keyboards you can use as well, but the stock honeycomb keyboard seems much more responsive than the Samsung one.

So far the Android keyboard, Swiftkey, and Swype keyboards haven't made anything better for me.
I've seen some people say disabling OpenGL in the debug settings helps, but they also say it has some other performance side effects. So... I guess I'll be using Opera Mini for a while.
The Bookmarks widget though makes it real easy to use the stock browser bookmarks (synced from my desktop Chrome browser) real easy with Opera though, so I like that.

ya so far swype is tne worst. But problem ive been having is if i type too fast the keyboard suddenly closes and im constantly having to reopen it.... Its fuggin annoying.

I've been using thumb keyboard and no lag. Its able to keep up with me

i really don't think its keyboard related
I'm using stock hc keyboard
Divineblue try doing a quick reply here on ur tab and you'll see the lag
Its fine in Google search and mobile sites but just des on desktop sites like facebook etc

lag disappears in opera mini but its a slow loading browser and I can tell decreases page quality, also can't get facebook desktop to load, no user agent option
so the hc browser really sucks then and ia behind this text lag

Is this lag a general problem with HC? Do you guys think that it will be fixed?
I got this tab on friday I love it so far but this text entry lag is driving me insane.

I use the thumb keyboard and stock browser. It lags like crazy, no different than using any other keyboard.

Has this been reported to Google?
Because of this issue alone, I postponed my purchase of any Android tablet
Web browsing accounts the most for my usage pattern. And I really hate any slow down for doing it.
See if this is fixed in the upcoming Android 3.2 (if it made to GTab) ... or hopefully ICS.

Is it at all lack of power from the Tegra or is it a glitch./-/

I bet on problem with Android Honeycomb.
It is really strange if Tegra does not have enough power on this!
We have a lot of Tegra phones and they don't have this issue. Sure, this is different OS, but that should show about "power".
Probably we need to wait for Android tablet Honeycomb that does not using Tegra.
And see if the problem still there.

lol its definitely not the tegra 2. Its honeycomb, this one is all google's fault. Kind of sad that google brags about their browser being the fastest than other browser and yet the honeycomb browser can't even handle text entry.
I get the same lag with the samsung keyboard attatchment i bought

Yeah I see what you are talking about now

well done on the post above, i voted

I put my comments in that thread too..
The laggy text in the browser is total fail

My "why does this work this way" rant thread.

I really like the stock browser. It is fast and looks great. However, why the he'll does it take a full 3 seconds for the Bookmarks list to load each time I click the Bookmarks icon? It is just a list. Nothing is being calculated.
Why? I just hate it when I love everything about an app except that ONE nagging little thing that is so f'd up you wonder how other ever got through.
Ok that's my app rant. What's yours?

Ok here's another. In the s-notes app there is no option for UNDERLINE or STRIKE THROUGH when working with pda files. I mean, c'mon how does something so basic and obvious get left out?
Sent from my awesome Note 10.1

As long as I'm on a roll. In s-notes we get an option for one lined notepad background and it is some weird kind of parchment color. No options to import our own backgrounds. I mean what if I want to take notes on a picture of my girlfriends face? Lol, so limiting.
And how about letting us design our own templates?
They could have done so much with s-notes but they chose to do so little. Sometimes I think they are designing toys for children and not serious tools for adults.

Is there any link to report bugs to Samsung? or request for some basic features?

One thing I wish it had was a feature that was on the HTC flyer. I liked being able to annotate and draw on any screenshot right at that moment instantly.

Actually you can. Just hold the button on your s-pen down and press it to a web page (for instance). As soon as it snaps a picture of the screen release the button and lift the pen - boom, annotate, crop, whatever all you like

The delay probably has to do with the fact that it's syncing your favorites. Since I use Chrome on my desktop the browser on GN 10.1 is syncing the as evidence by both a local favorites and the synced one.

Battery life is great on this tablet. But why in da "?;; does it take so long to charge to full capacity? I wish it was like prime, in 2-2.5hrs. It'll be fully charged from zero.

Ok, I'm in!
I wish the stock browser and Chrome could be set to ALWAYS get the desktop version of a website... It seems to randomly jump to mobile versions, which looks stupid on a tablet.

this is probably the biggest issue i have. i can charge the tf700 and dock faster than i can charge just my galaxy tab 10.1. and it seems from posts here that the gn101 isn't any faster. granted this should help with battery health/longevity, but dagnabbit sometimes i need a quick charge.
this is where having multiple tablets comes in handy.
man, started charging at 1:30 at 64%. it's 4:00 now and i'm finally fully charged. it charges fast up to 80, but that last trickle charge is a killer.

You can also just hold the screenshot button. One touch and it just snaps and saves but if you hold it, it snaps and opens the editor for some really cool s-pen scribbling.
Such a pity though that it seems its the only way to bring up that editor.

Why
Typing on a context box like posting here I have to tab down 3 lines to see what im typing or the text goes IP under the URL bar.I also have started seeing lag issues aftwr using browser for over a hour non stop.
are we all rethinking our purchase of this expensive toy looking tablet maybe? ??

I really hate that I have to multitouch the keyboard to make it split or float it keeps typing while I do that

1. After using bookmarks on the stock Samsung browser for a while, it automatically sorts bookmarks (seems to be by most used), and then my synced, Chrome desktop browser bookmarks get re-sorted. Very annoying! It should only sort when I ask it to.
2. Browser will not remember "Desktop View" setting after closing the current tab. Mobile view is useless.
There's my 2 complaints.

Not being able to sync S Planner tasks with google tasks is just stupid... It annoys me to no end.

After checking, rechecking, and then tripple checking my stock browser settings, i get annoyed when somtimes, every link i press opens in a new tab, when ive set it up to open in current tab..........im pretty sure its a bug, as it seems to only happen after long use of the stock browser

Check if you have "google instant" activated in the labs. That started happening to me after I checked that option and when I unchecked it stopped

Why can't the screen support a higher resolution! If hardware counts.. I hate looking at the nav buttons.. Ew..
Also, you can use s-note with a picture of your gf face or any other photo.
Why can't we customize that window that appears when we take out the S-Pen with our own apps!?
Why no NFC?
Why S-Note laggy with highlighter?
W.e. I'm done

Initial thoughts just received it

I still have my non rooted note 2. I had a nightmare reinstalling my back ups the ones on my memory card could be found .Thank for my phone explorer that saved the day for some .
Also Kies didn't work with this at all it days I need a new version which I could find.a whole day wasted so far .(this is one area where iPhone is leaps above.)
Seems to take longer to turn on.
Overall I like it and the back is good non slippery.
Haven't had time to check it all or the pen apps but I few things I notice .
No Polaris office but there's a Polaris viewer only but I can't find it in the apps.no radio.and the my files manager seems complex.
I have a gps app called Osmand from my old note and the maps where on the sd card but it doesn't seem to find it.
In fact only my music and photos where recognized none of the data or backups where recognized.
I'm using nova launcher but the touch wiz is real fast now .
Screen is great too early to tell about battery .
Haven't tested the camera yet .
But one bug thing for me exchange active sync is white and Grey now much better to see.
The one thing that has left a bad taste is the back ups I used my back up pro to my memory card plus even nova back up couldn't be found but Kies has to be rewriten.
Please ask any questions and I'll try to help as I still have my old note.
Also my bookmarks didn't come over using the standard samsung browser en en though it's synced.
Sorry if this post is disjointed just wanted to update you all

Some questions
Hi mate, I want to ask you about the speaker performance (sound volume and quality) of Note 3 compared to Note 2 because there are some contradictions between which one is better and also about the sensitivity of touch screen and stylus! Don't forget to update us about the battery performance of your Exynos powered Note 3 and contrast it with your Note 2! Thanks and have fun with it:good:

just want to confirm. any missing s-pen feature when changing to nova launcher from stock tw?

What about this? Does your box have this sticker?

Its been abt 12 hours I m using Note 3 and have been a user of Note 2 also the speakers are better then Note 2
Plus its placed beside charging point which is very good and the sound is very clear unlike Note 2 where keeping it on a table blocks the sound and makes it choppy
I loved the Keyboard its superb
Over all the device is very fast not lagged even once so far half the Ram free if all apps are closed
The Touch is very responsive and the screen is flat
One more thing this device is not for some one who wants more flexiblty as its little big and ideal if used with 2 hands
Hope this helps

Browser Microstuttering on Scroll

Has anyone noticed that the browser stutters a bit on scroll? All the browsers I've tried seem to do it. Some worse than others but it's present in all of them. This is pretty annoying and is something i really shouldn't have to deal with considering the money shelled out for this device. The Note 2 didn't do this though I've been on Cleanrom so long I don't know if stock would have done it too.

Even im experiencing lag in the browser...for me in google search also its happening and its crazy on the xda website...need help to

I can't understand why this is even happening. Is it the Att bloat? Is it Touchwiz? These mini consecutive stutters while scrolling at medium speed are just unacceptable.

or is it the new guy Knox?

real annoying problem for me with AT&T note 3, with stock browser or.chrome. load a page, xda for example, as.soon as I attempt to scroll or touch anywhere on the page it reloads, drives me crazy. using uc browser now

I had that problem with the Note 2 browsers too. Dolphin would reload it as well. And it still does with the Note 3. Though this problem seems to be limited to this site only.

The chrome stutter was pretty bad on the Note 10.1. In fact it was the last thing really sticking out as a negative.

This was a lifesaver for me... I depend on Chrome syncing my bookmarks and open tabs across my laptop, S4 and tablet. Many flash videos that wouldn't play in the browser directly you could play by long pressing and then selecting play with MX Player. Glad I won't have to use a different browser

Big difference on my 10.1 and note 3. Someone but this guy a beer!
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

Chrome beta is still smoother in SM-P600. By the way the following browsers are even smoother than Chrome fixed:
1. UC Browser HD - the smoothest
2. Habit Browser - very smooth lots of functions
3. Boat Browser - very smooth lots of functions
3. Dolphin w/ jetpack - smooth
4. AOSP/stock - Smooth
So if I didn't care about syncing I wouldn't even bother with Chrome on this tablet until they get right the hardware acceleration part on Exynos.
PS: Good info though, no disrespect to the original poster

Hats off to you sir

used this myself now too.
i think its as simple as the default settings for the browser not allocating enough ram for our high resolution devices.
