Browser on 3.1

Am I the only one who thinks it kinda sucks? Sometimes it's really snappy and fast, and once the page has loaded scrolling is really quick. However a lot of the time it seems worse to me, especially the xda site. Text input is abysmal now (not just xda) so slow, and much worse than 3.0.1. Other bugs include no backspace in text boxes, not being able to click on links, font rendering a bit blurry when not zoomed in, and keyboard randomly getting stuck on caps.
Is it just me?

Not just u...it sucks. Such a shame as everything else is great. Text randomly not appearing in text boxes....pages not loading entirely...slow text input from dock...most annoying may be links not highlighting which leaves u guessing where u tapped. Hope a fix comes soon.

I've actually been finding the one on the stock build a but bad too.
How about other browsers?

You can't complain too much because you have to remember that 3.1 isn't officially out yet

Yeah, I just noticed my keyboard lags REALLY badly when trying to reply to posts on XDA. That got much worse. Haven't tried any other sites or different keyboards yet.

I hate how the page redraws images when you scroll.

Are you using asus' default keyboard? Because I know that keyboard is laggy so I use the Android keyboard
Edit: and I may not know what I am talking about because I have not been on the xda website I just use the xda app.

I was hoping that they improve the speed on the browser in 3.1 but look feels the same like in 3.0. Pages takes a long time to load. Typing is a pain in the ass even with the android keyboard. Surfing and running playerpro is very slow. Opera mobile seems to be the fastest browser ive tested so far, but the font is way tooo small and theres no way to increase it.

I was using the ASUS keyboard. And I had some lag with it before, but it was never anything as bad as this.
I just switched to the Android keyboard. It's just as bad with that keyboard too.
I tried on another forum and it seemed normal. So it might just be this forum. The browser has never liked it anyway.

i posted this in the other thread. there are lots of browser issues with this. ill stick with it because there are lots of other improvements, but i doubt this update as is will be released to the public this week.

i didnt find that many speed issues. i was using flex T9 keyboard though. I will test tomorrow some more but i was thinking the browser had some nice improvements especially with the "quick controls"

I've seen that the thumb keyboard is quite popular. Wonder how it is working with this.

I like thumb kb a lot, lot of good settings.

Thumb keyboard has sped up since 3.1, at least for me, it flies now.

I agree that Thumb keyboard is blazing fast now. There was an update to version 4 a couple of days ago so I'm not sure if that was the reason for the speed increase or Honeycomb 3.1, but it is very responsive now.

I normally use Tapatalk to access XDA, But I'm using thumb keyboard to post this reply on the XDA website directly - there is a little lag, but not too much.
Regards,
Dave

Forums in general suck on honeycomb. I gave up entirely and just use the xda app.

I wish you folks wouldn't call it 3.1, because the official 'propper' 3.1 isn't released yet.
Whaat you've got is 3.02 or something found by a cleaner at asustech in the garbarge bins on a CD, they then uploaded it to the web and called it '3.1 leak' and you've all fallen for it! you then all come on here and start winging about, your gullibility is laughable

Is that supposed to be a joke? It is most certainly 3.1.
In response to other posts, I'm also using thumb keyboard but still get a lot of lag, only in browser though so it's not a keyboard issue. Engadget said the browser took a massive hit in JavaScript performance with this update so maybe that's why. I'm thinking this isn't the final build so I'm looking forward to the official ota.
Like others have said though, even though the browser is worse in some regards the improvements in other areas of the rom make it worth sticking with

Best Jellybean Rom???

All of them have minor bugs and no GPS D:

I use the AOKP build 2 (last link) and have for the last week or so. Anything that doesn't work I don't use (camera, gps) so I haven't given it much thought. For me, it's been much better than oem, and a bit better than CM9 rc2. Definitely ready for prime time.

Really? I use SKANG and have had no issue with camera. Don't know about GPS.

I use the CM10 as my daily driver and rarely have any issues. Granted with that being said I primarily use it for minor productivity things like browsing the web with chrome, screwing around on reddit, watching HD youtube videos, editing word documents with Polaris, and writing emails. A fully functional Bluetooth would be nice, however that may have just been updated in round 8.3. No personal need for the GPS at the moment.

Is any of them worth unlocking for?

Help needed: Looking for a rom

Hey All,
I'm looking for a rom and having trouble figuring out which one will best suit my needs. Typically, I would just download a bunch of roms and try them out, but I'm stuck in China with a low data ceiling on a very slow connection for the foreseeable future. I really need to be like 80% sure before I download.
I've been running CleanRom since the summer, and that has been a great experience, but CleanRom is no longer being developed, so I'm no longer up to date.
I want something with integrated tablet mode, and I would like something with a volume slider in the notification tray. Wifi toggle switch would also be ideal (I prefer not to use apps for these features). Aside from those features, I just need the most stable rom possible. Additional customization isn't necessary. In fact, pure stock outside of the features I listed would be great. And I'm obviously not looking for nightly builds. I want something to throw on here and leave on until the next Android update.
Does anyone know a rom that meets this criteria? If you have suggestions, I would love to hear them, and then I'll go read some threads.
I really appreciate the help.

Check CM10 with Tablet UI, it should fit the needs you are looking for.
I have been using it since last 4 days and its been stable.No issues yet.

Check Glazed Jellybean here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796668
I've been running this rom since 1.1.2 and have been very pleased with it. My current setup is Glazed JB 2.0 with the included Franco kernel, and Nova Launcher Prime for a launcher. I'm also using Pimp My Rom 2.0 for additional tweaks, but from the sounds of it you may not even want that.
Good luck in your search.

You want a solid rom? Team EOS is going to be your best bet. Very minimal isnt loaded with a bunch of crap you wont use. Has its own toggles however are kind of an eyesore IMO. You could just use an app to do the same thing i recommend "Extended Controls" Its a dollar.. but well worth it. LOL reread your OP oops.. :S
Also if you have the pull down.. and swipe in the middle to either the right or the left.. it will swap the Date and clock to a volume slider on the left and a brightness slider on the right .

The only problem I've had with this rom is the oft mentioned error about invalid glazed 2.0 init.. and it's more of a minor nuisance than anything. Functionality does not seem to have a problem, and I'm sure the message has something to do with Glazed being based on a CM nightly.. a bad integer table entry perhaps. Either way, my overall experience has been great with this setup.. buttery fast, and buttery smooth.

Thanks for getting back to me on that. I've got a list of three I'm investigating. Trying out this CM10 kang first.

I've had very good luck with cm10. I've tried a few others but keep coming back to cyanogenmod. It's stable and has the features I want. On my Tablet I have many of them turned off, but it's nice for my phone. I

new to the TF stop in....

So I am getting a TF300 very soon and I am very excited. I am upgrading from a Galaxy TAB2 7inch. I am stoked for a bigger screen and just a better tablet. What has everyone thought of this device and what ROMS are you using?
I assume that everyone is mainly sticking to nova and apex and maybe adw.
tell me what you think

I love mine, running clean rom with unters kernel! Amazing!

I love the look and feels of custom ROM's but was think something based off of stock. Only because I would like to watch TV on the TWC app at home. As far as I can see. this can only be done with the stock based ROM's

I have used it on my Sammy TAB2 and it seems to run nicely. The only thing I will miss is the IR blaster on my Sammy. Turned it into a remote for my DVR and TV

AOKP is as stable as ever

TF300T will receive Android 4.3 along with several other tablets

I was just now searching for information about the new version of Android and I come up with this list: http://technosamigos.com/asus-android-4-3-jelly-bean-update-schedule/
I don't know if this is legit, but it can actually be true. Our tablet was the very first tablet to receive Android 4.1 and 4.2 after the nexus devices, and has been receiving updates quite regularly, so it wouldn't be a surprise if we got Android 4.3 this year.
What do you think about this?

IMO, the biggest/main advantage to getting 4.3 update is if you have young kids that use your tablet.... the new user app controls are awesome.... now my son can't open any apps but the ones i enable on his user account.... no more contacts added with the name "kjhfjhduh" or similar....lol.... no more phone calls with groove ip made to numbers like "87##*8765(*854" lmao.... and my friends will no longer receive garbled up google talk messages from my son....

Biggest advantage is fstrim! My tf300 has been very laggy since 4.2, so with fstrim now fully implemented hopefully that will speed things back up.

fstrim will not be a magic pill. The app on the Play Store does the same thing as what will be built into Android 4.3, with the main difference being that trim is supposed to happen on a schedule. It won't do much.
