Need some help please - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

The problem I am having is that whenever I install a i9505 based Rom on my att s4 everything is great until I try to use any browser other than the Samsung browser. For some reason browsers that scroll buttery smooth on att and T-Mobile software lag and stutter on i9505 based Roms. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is and really need some help.

Try using a 'disable scrolling cache' mod.

Really??? KB-LAG

I have been doin my best not to rant but I am at my wits end with this whole keyboard lag saga. I have sat patiently waiting through patches hoping that one of them would correct the issue and obviously that has yet to happen. This is so critical how could they not have a team working day and night on a bug fix? Which would also lead one to wonder if it isnt a bug but a hardware limitation, which would be even worse...
What are YOUR thoughts on the lag? Are you just becoming used to it? Do you despise it as much as I do? Or does it just not bother you at all? Inquiring "mind" wants to know...
I really hate it, but I've been trying to use Opera and now Dolphin HD more lately and both of those are much better on the lag or non-existant, but yes it's hard to believe this hasn't been fixed across the board on all browsers. I actually think the reason Opera and Dolphin are better because they have that flash on demand option, I think flash auto loading is actually slowing the whole browser down including the typing, and javascript also so I'm afraid there isn't anyway to fix it besides turning flash on demand option on and disabling javascript seems to help but who wants to disable features?
seriously the only time i get lag is when I'm typing in forums. I never lag when i use polaris. I almost never use the stock browser. Try using Dolphin's new browser for tablets, it's still in beta but works great
LOL at all the people that think DolphinHD is different to the stock browser. IT IS the stock browser with a different skin... It uses the same rendering engine as the stock browser, it uses the same javascript as the stock browser...
Typing in Dolphin also lags for me. I really have no idea why this only happens in the bowser. But then again it could be the scripts on the page.
only lag is in the stock browser by one second, every other app doesnt lag like polaris or evernote for example, for browser if ur concerned about typing something alot use opera there is no input lag

Maybe but the typing lag is still worse in stock than Dolphin, and I am talking Dolphin for Tabs which came out a few days ago, not DolphinHD

Laggy keyboard

Whenever I type on Facebook or anywhere else on the net my keyboard is extremely laggy. Its fine in apps and such. Ive tried three different keyboards - asus, android, and thumb so I don't think that's the problem and my wifi signal is very strong so I know that's not the issue either. Im rooted but running stock rom/kernel. Will flashing a custom rom and/or kernel remedy this? If so any suggestions on which ones?

this is a known issue there is allot of information about it use search before posting
It's Honeycomb, not the Transformer itself.
Should be improved in ICS.
I like the Asus keyboard better then the stock honeycomb one but it was laggy as hell before I disabled that half ass Swype feature.
It's an issue with the stock browser. Apps work just fine because they're optimized for the hardware, but most of the websites on the internet are not. You can alleviate some of the lag by using a different browser like Opera, but don't expect miracles.

[Q] what is your favorite browser on the s4 and why?

just as the title says, what is your favorite browser so far?
Boat Browser, as it supports flash and is very easy to learn/use.
Yeah, I recently discovered the Boat Browser and I must say that I prefer it, I always used the Dolphin, but the Boat is more fluid, and with the Flash support.
Been using Opera, there is nothing I don't like about it save the lack of flash support and as I use it on the pc the sync with bookmarks etc. is handy. Gonna have to check out this boat browser, hadn't heard of it till now, thanks.
Tried it, supports flash but offers little else and Opera is an otherwise much better browser IMO. Regardless thanks for the heads up.

AT&T Galaxy S4 with GPE Room Graphic Issue

Hey All,
I tried searching this thread before posting this and didn't find too much. I installed a Google play edition ROM on my AT&T S4 (i377). It works fine so far but I've been noticing that there are some green lines through the middle of the screen. They look like graphical glitches. I'm willing to accept it if thats just the name of the game, but just wanted to know if anything could be done, or if another rom that works with this phone is better.
It doesn't seem to come up in screenshots either. Anyway let me know if anyone knows something about this issue.
Thanks

Go to your developer options and check if any drawing/rendering screen options are enabled; some of these options can cause screen flashing/margin lines/rendering line updated/etc. If you have any overclocking enabled in a custom kernel restore your GPU and CPU frequencies back to stock and reboot If neither of those don't fix your issue I suggest using a more stable and well known ROM. I myself use a rom by @Task650. Zero issues with it and it's stability is great, very lightweight.
No glitches here. Must be an issue with the room you are running. I run ibl4st1ds kangabean 4.2.2 ROM with the mf3 radio. I side loaded samsung shealth and downloaded watch on from the market. Many Samsung apps work with a simple sideload with the GE ROMS.

[Q] Possible to get the Native Android Browser on Lollipop?

for whatever reason Verizon removed the Native browser on the s5, which sucks because it is much faster than chrome and has features like airview. I've seen instructions on how to get it for kitkat from the at&t version but it appears not to work on 5.0. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for any help.
