I have noticed that in a number of web forums I get TERRIBLE LAG when trying to type a comment, sometimes even as much as a second between keystroke and input.
The website on which the forum resides doesn't seem to be having any lag, just typing.
Any solutions for this? Tapatalk would be ideal but so few forums I visit regularly have Tapatalk. Is there an app which loads the text box for a forum's comment section into a separate window for typing then pastes it into the web forum text box automatically? Thanks. This is really annoying.

My other half is very active on several forums and doesn't have this problem in either Dolphin or the stock browser. She used to on the iPad though. Any forums that you can mention in particular?
Like I said if you are using Chrome and its an issue with it and also it comes up suddenlyt
I notice it mostly in news site and political forums. I'm using Dolphin. Would really like an app that does this for me.

Pretty sure its related to keyboard. Turn off haptic and touch sound and use 4.2 keyboard or thumb etc... and its almost never present

Will try that. I use Thumb Keyboard. I honestly think is it a lag problem with some forums in general. The same forums tend to lag on my Epic Touch too. Just slow servers. That's why an app that provides a text box for me to type in then sends it all at once to the forum text box would be awesome.

Anyone having any issues with with their screens sensitivity such as the keyboards typing being very laggy and scrolling being very laggy as well. Tried doing a factory reset and no difference so I'm guessing defective product. Probably going to exchange tomorrow. Anyone else?

I only experienced that so far when typing a response on XDA. Some other forums I tried with the browser work great. Gmail works great. Scrolling is also slower on XDA but fine on other sites. There are other threads on this already.
A calibration.ini text file on root of memory worked for gtabs. Put it in the root directory nothing in it. Just a txt file called calibration.ini reboot the tablet but dont touch the screen during reboot. Try that

same here only lag when typing in forums
Quick update. I had my xoom plugged into the dock which was plugged into my 200w inverter which is pretty beefy and after unplugging the lag ceased. So obviously they dont play well together. And a little fyi for anyone else who might be experiencing similar problems.
I had sensitivity issues while I had their screen protector on. And then again for like 10 minutes after my fiancee spit on it.

Why don't you guys use the offical xda app? I can't get anything to lag on my xoom. I know that it'll lag if you are in the browser. But just download the app and use it as it seems easier to me.

The official XDA app fails to load half of the time and is slow the rest of the time on my XOOM. It used to be the same on my Nexus One, but after putting Gingerbread on last night it flies faster than I could imagine.

I don't use the XDA app because, if I recall correctly, it requires my device's ID. I don't download any application which requests permissions that it doesn't actually need to function.
It also lags horribly when typing comments on Slashdot (worse than on XDA). But here, scrolling lags as well whereas on Slashdot it's only typing.

Yeah, it seems consistent with certain sites. I am sure it is fixable with an update.
Since the app doesn't work, you've got no choice but to use the browser. However its a lag fest.
On your Xoom scroll down to the the very bottom left and change "XDA 2010" to "XDA Classic" . Makes this site much more pleasant to browse... Almost no lag at all.

i use the premium app and it remembers my login and alerts me to threads ive subscribed to.
i also appreciate the OP for point out the trick to get the forum to work better. my main reason for getting the xda app was to get around this slow scroll. id much rather use the browser to "browse" the forum. ill check into this trick today. many thanks!

i can't stand any apps for forum browsing. i like tabbed browsing, but great tip.
so what causes the slowdown? i'm making a guess that it's the text antialiasing. they must have it set to high which makes for the blurry type. any way to tweak it?
ditto, nasty yellow colors, but scrolling is so much smoother with no lag. Thanks!
Much better!

So what is the cause of it running so slow to begin with? I mean it's great that we have a work around, but for an $800 device I expect it to be able to browse a simple website without the need for a work around to keep it from lagging.

Use any of the alternative browsers that use a different engine - which as of today are either Firefox or Opera Mobile. Both show XDA forums just fine with no lag.
(ditto for Slashdot, if you read/post comments there regularly - it also has the same trouble with stock browser)
Ugly, but changing the theme is much faster. Thanks for the tip.
The premium app works great on the xoom.

Try Opera browser. This browser is really fast on the Xoom! Also for the XDA forums it is a great browser. Almost no lags.
Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?

this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine
i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?
I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.
Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.
I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.
i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.
It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

I hate how it ALWAYS refreshes. Every time I leave the app then come right back to it, it just refreshes everything. Ugh.

I haven't really noticed. The lag when it accessing the bookmarks is painful though...
Yup really annoys me. Especially when you go to type something in and it refreshes and doesn't include what you just typed.

Even when going back to a previous viewed page in chrome it refreshes. Very annoying and totally kills the browsing experience.

I use to love Xscope (Amazon free app). Decided to buy it since it is now JB which Amazon won't upgrade to. It's real nice UI... but still isn't as good as it is on my Galaxy Player (GB). On my Player ANY mobile site will pinch zoom. On the N7, no mobile site seems to pinch zoom. This means "text" and "zoom" levels have to be "perfect" and changed quite often (since all sites seem to have different text sizes). I may start using Desktop mode, but I really like many mobile sites. Chrome works great. I was hoping the updated Xscope would be its replacement. Good thing it was $3 of my free $25!
PS: I never noticed a refresh in Chrome.

the android(aosp) browser, not chrome, doesnt refresh. and plays flash just fine, btw.
I've noticed that when I open several links in other tabs, when I get to the tabs they are blank and load or refresh the page once I switch to the tab.
I am not having this problem, in fact I was just viewing three pages simultaneously (switching between them) while on Skype and no reloading :S and while typing this I switched over to chrome and all 3 tabs still loaded.. :/

Just disable the translating in settings. It have to solve the issue
While using the stock web browser on multiple sites it frrezes and won't let me scroll or zoom but I can retype the web page, reload but upon reloadjng the page freezes up again while truing to scroll the page.
I know this cant be normal. My phone is stock. Ive turned off the air gesture and im still having the problem.

You can try and clear the data/cache for the stock browser, that might be a fix.

OP, I have the EXACT same symptoms than you. And I also have them on Chrome. I am getting desperate, cleared data and cache and it didnt work. I actually prefer the stock browser because chrome makes my text in different sizes (this forum, for instance) and therefore harder to read, but not event chrome works.
Did you get to fix it? If so, how?
Thanks
