I have been using a tab a 2016 with S Pen for the last few months for school and it has been great, the issue I'm having is that I would like to use Chrome. The problem I'm having with chrome is that the text is wiggly for lack of a better word unless I zoom in just a bit and then it goes back to normal, when I use Firefox I don't have this problem. I know I have tried turning off GPU rendering (or something like that) and that didn't help, has anyone else seen this and any type of solution?

I am just having the hardest time making my craigslist ads which require me to cut and past the URLs of my photobucket images. I also need to edit in HTML into the posts and this is proving to be a nightmare on the transformer. In tablet form or docked.
It seems that I can't just click to place the cursor exactly where I want it and the cursor seems to always be moving to places I don't want it. Also trying to cut and paste works great sometimes and others it just seems unusable.
Should I maybe use a text editing app and then just cut and paste it over? Can anyone relate to the things I'm talking about? I'm new to Honeycomb so maybe there are a lot of little tricks I don't know yet.

getting a stylus may help with the fine aiming of moving the cursor. and if it moves around you may be hitting the trackpad so try turning that off.
but for what your doing, it may be best to make it all in a text editor and then copy/paste it in the browser.

Any suggestions for text editor apps?

well the included polaris will work pretty good, color note and basically any other note pad app will as well.
there are a couple apps that can make and create .txt documents and those should work as well.
Ill look around, thanks.

Just an update.
I am currently using Opera forced in desktop mode only. This is the fastest scolling and zooming browser there is. The only thing I hate is how opera functions when selecting text off of a page to copy. It is really cheap. I also like the fact that I can add any search engine to the browser. I couldnt stand how every time I did a Google search it would search through Google mobile, so I just added the main Google search and all was fixed.
Typing on forums has been a breeze for the most part with opera, now if I can just find a way to use the Native copy and paste on web pages it will be almost perfect. At least when editing text or web page URLs it uses the native highlight feature.
In response to the cursor moving, I have that problem and am pretty sure it has to do with the mousepad being set up for "touch to click". On a fullsize laptop, no big deal, but on the smaller keyboard I keep hitting it. As a result, that disable-mouse button gets a ton of use from me.
It was doing it to me while editing on the screen as well. It doesn't seem to be doing it with opera though so Im happy about that.
One weird thing I have noticed as too is that if I really get going and start typing fast, the keyboard will register double I inputs twice. So for example if I type the word that, it will sometimes show as ththat. This only happens when im typing at full pace though and only sometimes. I went to Verizon today to play with a zoom and couldn't get the zoom to recreate this issue, it was only running 3.0 also.
If you are talking about the same thing I'm thinking about, I think this is just a general Android bug. My 2.3.4 phone does it and the stock browser on my TF does it. I have a guess it has to do with text wrapping... but no idea if that's really it.
An easy way to see why I think it seems to be a text wrap issue is by zooming in a little and typing a few lines of text, then try to edit it. Then pull up the green caret move handle thing and notice that it moves where you didn't place it.
Another way is to get a keyboard with arrow keys (thumb keyboard) and select one line and press the down key... it sometimes jumps a line or two. Almost certain its because of the text reflow. I wish you could turn it off or Google would fix it. I HATE working on a long forum post or Outlook Web App on my phone because textarea editing is just a horrible experience.
Finally, I, too use Opera... I'm not a fan, but its the only browser fast enough and that doesn't try to reflow ANY text area. No other browser, that I know, uses text areas that do not reflow.
I completely agree about Opera.
I am having a lot of problems typing with my keyboad dock. I type with only 2 fingers and 2 thumbs but I am quite quick. However I am finding that after just a few words my text is really messed up because the cursor has decided to move up three lines and back 2 words - or similar. This is my third attempt at this post because in each of the previous two attempts the whole message has been 'magically' selected and as I didn't notice in time, my next key deleted everything (does anyone know of an undo?).
I don't know if I'm continually mistyping, but unless I slow right down as I'm doing now it happens everytime.
Anyone else had similar problems?

Yes, hundreds others. The touchpad is quite sensitive. Disable it while you type long messages.
These problems seem to be tied to the stock browser. I have far less issues with Opera 11.

Same for me...this hits me much more often in the stock browser.
Well I'm just starting to use Opera, so perhaps I'll be all right. Thanks for the help.
I have this problems with both stock browser, dolphin browser, and any text editing app. Is there any other solution than turning off the mouse every time I want to type for a while?
Thank god I'm not the only one. It realled pissed me off at first and still sort of does. As much as people say this is like a laptop or netbook and want it to be one the keyboard lag really holds it back.
First off overclocking makes the keyboard SOOOO much better. It is actually able to keep up with my typing and deleting. It seems worse on this site but much better with OC. Second on the keyboard dock if you push the key that turns off the keys (it looks like a mouse with a box around it) it stops the typing form automagically? Skipping down the page if you press space delete.
But as the others said you need to disable the touchpad. That's the real culprit for the skipping text. It's a pain to work around but it becomes much more enjoyable if you do that.
Oh and another fun things is if you are using six axis controller and the keyboard dock you lose access to the touch keyboard after you take off the dock. I'm wondering if the prime does better for keyboard speed and lag.
I just got a Nexus 10 and I'm considering returning it because of all the crashes. (At least twice a day since I got it.) But I'm even having trouble finding a good browser. Does anyone else find they have these problems, or is it just me? Opera was my favorite browser on A100, but its unusable now.
In chrome mobile if you click anywhere near the X button (on a tab), the page will close. Chrome also causes tablet crashes. (Chrome is the stock browser on my tab.)
Boat takes up high battery
Dolphin - clicking on a tab closes the tab
Opera buttons/menus are so tiny it can't be used.
Firefox (regular And beta) - parts of or the whole screen goes black sometimes. (Resizing the page fixes it.) Requires effort to scroll fast. Some images don't ever load, like on Google images (middle of page). No speed dial or even a way to organize bookmarks. Previous session tabs don't reload automatically.
Maxthon - maxthon tablet - sometimes no links work, tab fonts too large
I'm using Firefox mostly, but don't like it for above reasons.
Not a browser but, my favorite keyboard on my a100, Thumb keyboard - if i click near the top edge of the comma key, I get an apostrophe. (Rt. Side) also, it becomes erratic sometimes, like cursor jumping to the wrong places.
Do you have these issues, or did I get a bad Nexus? Thanks.
I still would like to hear if anyone is having these troubles on the Nexus 10, but I think I found happiness with Ocean Browser. I'm already familiar with it because it came pre-installed on my Acer A100, but I don't think they ever gave the name. It was re-branded or something. Glad I found it again. About the only thing it's lacking is the ability to rearrange bookmarks on the screen. But you can use folders. I think I found the winner.

i have seen a lot of threads about the touchscreen being unresponsive and have pretty much tried everything from disabling currents sync to editing the build.prop (cant remember exactly what the settings were but they were supposed to increase touchscreen responsiveness)
i have tried stock rom, cm10.1, smooth rom etc but using the touchscreen is still a pretty crappy experience
basically, the inertia of swiping up and down is near non existent. it takes me a million swipes just to get back to the top of a webpage.
its not as bad in non web browser apps such as reddit sync or facebook but its still there
ive tried every browser known to man (chrome is nearly unusable, firefox beta is the best, dolphin is ok) and theyre all pretty bad, my galaxy s1 is better than this.
is it possibly a bad unit or is this just how the nexus 7 is?
Without seeing what you are observing, it is hard to know if there is a problem with your tablet, or if you have unreasonable expectations. (You didn't *quantify* what you meant.)
This page:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/
is 2203 lines long, but I can scroll the length of the page in either the AOSP browser or Chrome from top to bottom with three FULL swipes. (Portrait orientation, CM10.1 Nightly ROM, no tweaks afaik)
Hope that helps you figure out if there is a problem with your unit.
It's just how it is. It's very sensitive to touch, so when you scroll down (with your thumb as if you were on the phone), sometimes it picks up the last drag before lifting your thumb to reposition as a stop. And they can't say, "Oh, it's because Nexus 7 is bigger than your phone! So you have to swipe a further distance!" because my 7" Galaxy tablet and even the HP Touchpad (10") hacked with Android has better touch experience and scrolls nicely with smooth inertia to the bottom or top of the page depending on how fast you swipe.
Everyone swipes differently, and I think those who swipe with our thumbs at an angle are the ones that are really noticing this. So yeah, Nexus 7 touchscreen sucks for people like us. You can see many threads about this if you search "nexus 7 inertia" or "nexus 7 scrolling" etc. It is quite crappy but I've become used to it some. Looking around for something better, though.
I think chrome on android has improved quite a bit since it launched but I feel like it's especially bad on my nexus 10, and on specific sites. Some sites, such as this one, are very responsive to touch and there isn't any lag to speak of. Some sites, however, seem terrible. One example is androidcentral.com - the desktop version. The lag I'm referring to is when you're scrolling down the page, and you try to stop the scroll, or scroll back up the page. It seems like the browser goes unresponsive for a second and then jumps up the page a bit.
This happens on many sites I visit, but androidcentral.com is one of the better examples. It kind of kills the browsing experience for me and is one of the reasons I don't use my nexus 10 that much.
I've googled and the closest complaint I can find was on this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986212 However it's an older post and when I checked on the link to the issue it looks as though it had been resolved.
So, my question(s) are:
1) are others experiencing the same issue?
2) is there a fix / workaround for those specific sites?
3) Is there a way to report this to google?
Mine freezes while browsing...I blamed Chrome Beta, and went back to Chrome recently.
Remains to be seen if the problem is gone.
Hi,
First, if you're using Chrome Beta (like me), I'm facing a similar problem as well, but usually mine goes blank and doesn't work till I restart the app. If you want the best fix, then it's best to download the Chrome or a different browser like Firefox or Dolphin.
