Hey Guys
Running Vegantab-B5.1 and tried using the xda app from marketplace to browse the xda forum but i find shortly after i log in that it crashes on me. Does anyone else have teh same issue?
BAM
App does not work on tablet!
Two alternatives, DolphinHD browser gives a nice experiance, and tapatalk works well if you really want an app.
I have the same problem. Thanks for the tip about Tapatalk - I will check it out.
I also have the same problem on my Droid. I find dolphin HD the best experience. Not crazy about tapatalk.
Yeah I think we're all in the same boat regarding the XDA app, I agree with both suggestions above, Dolphin HD and Tapatalk Pro are great alternatives. Tapatalk is fast and minimalist in it's appearance (but plenty of features), where as Dolphin HD gives you a near desktop experience, just depends on what you prefer.

I miss the XDA app. I got so used to using it on my HTC Magic. Hoping for a fix at some point.
Edit: the premium xda app doesn't crash as often. Still can't log in but it is a very minimalist and add free way of viewing xda. Been using it lately to read very long threads and older threads I just want to digest and not respond to.
Same here force close when trying to login - vegan 7 exp
Yep, force closed on Tnt 4.04 and Vegan 5.1.1.
Force closes on Stock ROM as well
XDA app is based on Tapatalk. I got annoyed with the FCs and went with Tapatalk. The experience and UI is mostly the same, just a few more taps to get to what you want once you've set up your favorites.

Same here. VEGAn 5.1.1, FC on login. I was rather disappointed.
Its a known bug and I'm not sure there are plans to fix it. You know though, we do have full internet on these bad boys. I prefer that over the app. The app is perfect for my phone with it's small screen. With 10 inches the real thing is better.
A pretty gutsy claim, yes.
But I've been typing with this kbd for 2 days now, and I gotta say that with the general impreciseness of our screens, this keyboard allows me to type 50% faster than any other kbd on the market.
It has predictive text, but also searches for words that go with the prior word typed.
It also has the ability to learn from your typing style by analyzing your sms, text, gmail and facebook messages.
I highly recommend this keyboard for ALL zio owners.
You can download it @:

Very nice but at 17mb it eats up alot of ram. I'll give it a try for a while longer and see how well it really works.

Its a beta release, so there are going to be bugs Im sure. Works 100% for me, and Im tellin ya, its far superior to all kbds I've tried. Even ultra kbd 0.o
Yeah, it does take up a little more RAM, but for the functionality, and the responseness of the program, I dont mind. Also being as it is a beta release, there might be some more code trimming to be done that will reduce the amount of ram.
But, If you think about it, its one of the most important apps for your phone; your keyboard. With that said, I wouldnt mind if it took up 20-25Mb, as long as it performs just as it does now. With my ROM installed, Im still at 55Mb-60Mb free RAM with it installed (and thats NOT stock -- on an established system).
I got the Language pack Error as well. Go into Settings/Language Profile/Language and download the English or whatever language you use.
I have purchased swift key and have been using it for over a year now. I rarely need to use more than two or three key strokes per word. The way it predicts the next word is simply amazing. Hands down the best keyboard replacement out there. Those of you who are using the beta version and having trouble with it should try the 30 day trial of swift key without the X available on the market.

Nice to see you guys comin' around to SwiftKey. i've been using it for quite a while and got in on the VIP/beta program for 2/X. It's gotten better and better over the last several months.
Option to apply skins is planned, too, FYI.
After using this keyboard for about two weeks, all I can say is SIMPLY AMAZING. The way it predicts words is phenomenal I rarely even have to type anything as it pieces together sentences for me almost flawlessly. I highly recommend this to anyone frustrated by the lame stock keyboards from android, or I would put it against any of the slide,swype style keyboards any day.
SwiftKey was super slow on my Zio. I'm not sure why everybody has such luck with it. Smart Keyboard Pro is way faster and uses up less memory. The text prediction really does suck though
Check out ThickButtons. Free. Best for zio IMO
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say swiftkey speech to text for the win I'm using it right now

Hey
just wanted to start a thread about the lag i've experienced on my nexus 7 and wanted to know who else has experienced it. With me its happened randomly a few times like ill exit an app then when i swipe through the home screen its really jerky. my unit isnt rooted, everything stock even the launcher.
So yeah if anyone has experienced it post BELOWWWWWWWW (ray william johnson voice) lol.
Just wanted to add this link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37258 for people to visit to help raise awareness to Google about the issue.
Have you gotten the latest update?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Make sure you aren't using a 3rd party rotation app such as 'Ultimate Rotation Control'
also please update to 4.1.1
Not a single issue here... Google accomplished project butter in my opinion...
You may have an issue with the Tablet...
You'll find that the best way to make your case is to take a video of it, so we don't have to rely on your word alone.

Trust me I wouldn't make this up. And your right but every time it happened I was no where near my phone. Yeah it was updated to 4.1.1. I've read a review in this thread about his not that smooth as well. I'd say download a few apps and try make it multi-task and let me know.

Who knows, you could have a defective unit. Probably not though, so maybe your best bet is keep your phone nearby for when it happens again. The only lag I'm willing to admit at this point is the stock keyboard and swiftkey, if you're a speedy typer. However, if you turn off "spell checker" (ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet), then you should be fine.
No lag here, try a factory reset, i usually do a factory reset on all my new devices before setting them up.

My nexus 7 was lagging too, it was after i installed this one app. I uninstalled the app and it would still lag but only on the homescreen. I removed the play store media widget and the lag disappeared. I have about 8 widgets (constantly refreshing) and a live wallpaper and still lag free. If you still have that default media widget, try removing it.
Though I still see lag, mostly when im downloading apps or they're installing but once the app is done downloading/installiung the lag goes away. This same issue happens on pretty much every android device i've ever owned, even happens on my iphone so not a big deal.
I have this issue as well. The two times I noticed it I was browsing with chrome and the scrolling started to lag. I exited the app but I would still have lag throughout the device; it would also not recognize my touch all the time, I would have to click something multiple times. Not sure whats causing it.

I'm getting some lag too... Tomorrow I should receive my other unit from Google and ill try them both. It's sad cause my dual core nexus performs better
It lags because of the poor memory (poor i/o). This happened on the Transformer prime, the memory limited the device speed and lags when your either installing an app, uni stalling or transferring.
Also don't forget that especially on the first day tons of stuff gets synced in the background. When I setup my new devices the first day is almost laggy for some hours until all syncs are done.
Tegra devices doesn't have the greatest memory bandwith.

I been getting a lot of lag after playing any heavy game. N64oid Max Payne shadowgun gta3. I always have to reboot or the tablet is unusable. Its not really lag though its more like the touch screen only works 10 percent of the time you touch it until I reboot. Like if i try to drag an app around the desktop it just keeps dropping like I lifted my finger up. And it does it in any app after even if I kill all in memory. And I had mine since Friday its happened almost everytime.

Not seeing it here with Nexus 7 plugged into wall and switching between the built-in apps and also downloaded apps such Glow Ball, Soulcraft THD Beta, Google Voice, etc.
Are you guys seeing this with it running off of battery (possibly power profile/CPU throttling) or plugged in?
Hey, when trying to use the handwriting mode with the keyboard in a text, it doesn't change any of my writing to text, the writing area won't scroll, then the phone freezes and I get a force close.
Has anyone else encountered this?

Yup. About an hour later the Samsung keyboard auto updated and the problem stopped for me.

As I'm staring at my brand new note 3 at this very moment it has taken me 5 minutes to attempt to get this piece of crap s pen setting to automatically begin handwriting mode, even if it does scroll, not one single word Is converted to text, AND I don't even see the option of the small pen icon that allows me to use the other handwriting screen that does work!!! Needless to say this is beyond frustrating and I refuse to pay for any update "solutions" I.e putting a bandaid on a broken leg.. Also tried swiftkey but that's just a different keyboard nothing to help HANDWRITING which is what I enjoy... lastly, as I write my screen isn't positioned in the best way to see what I'm writing also vs. My keyboard. .. is that just another annoying thing I'm going to have to get used to or what??? PLEASE HELP!!!

I noticed when I first got my Tab S that typing could bog down and start to lag after a while. Here are two things I've done to make typing much faster and more enjoyable:
1) ROOT REQUIRED: Using Wanam Xposed (free in market) disable DVFS in advanced settings. This is something Samsung implements to save battery life by throttling your CPU. Disable it and reboot.
2) Install THUMB KEYBOARD. Fast, light, excellent keyboard layouts for tablets, free themes and the best autocorrect I've ever used.
Try those and see if your typing experience doesn't improve.
UPDATE: There's a new app in the playstore called "DVFS Disabler" which may work better than the one built into Wanam Xposed. No idea but it is another option.
No problems here with typing lag using Stock keyboard and SwiftKey.

Excellent. Funny that nothing about my Tab S lagged except the typing part and then only after about 20 minutes of use. Regardless if you haven't tried THUMB KEYBOARD give it a shot lag or no. It really is great. The superior autocorrect alone should make typing faster.
Swiftkey is smooth for you? That app is a wreck for me on any device I've ever tried it. Not only laggy but does some very weird random word substitutions. Not a fan. YMMV.
Yes have always ended up using SwiftKey on my Android devices after trying stock and many others including thumb keyboard. SwiftKey has always been pretty spoton for word predictions too. As I said, not experienced any lagging after typing for long periods on my tab s.

Just stating the obvious really. Same with all apps. There's always going to be something that works better for one person than the other. Although I still do not get the lag that you get a after typing for long periods.

Are you sure DVFS is enabled on your tablet? If you have Wanam you can check it under advanced settings. Other than that no idea why that was the one thing I was getting lag with while I had no screen lag or stuttering. According to articles I have read DVFS can throttle CPU speeds by as much as half.
I'm not rooted and have no need to root as of yet.

Yep a lot of people love Swiftkey. Must be the way I type but it is always going haywire for me. I will type a word and then hit space. Instead of going forward it goes back to the middle of the word I just typed and starts typing the new word. A complete mess. When I want to delete one of these crazy double words it doesn't want to let me. Not just on the Tab S but any device I've tried it on.
Oh well.
swiftkey lags to all hell in hangouts on this tablet, but that's it. it's fine everywhere else really. hangouts just sucks in general compared to talk lol.. it's just such a jittery laggy app compared to how talk was. those were the days.

I just tried it on my 8.4 using SwiftKey as I was curious and didn't suffer any lag when typing. I tried both landscape and portrait modes. I'm not saying it doesn't lag for you, I just can't see it on my tab.
Maybe we have our keyboards set up differently. I have keyboard sounds and vibrations switched off on mine if that makes any difference?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I had sounds off and it still lagged. I've recently turned them on. but yeah in hangouts it lags bad. hangouts on the tablet sucks too because if I type stuff, randomly after hitting send the keyboard will drop down while other times it won't, and the conversation doesn't advance to show what I just typed... it's stuck on the last thing said unless I back out of the keyboard, then I can see it. hangouts just sucks lol

I have been using swype on my S3 and the Evo 4G before that. I have been a qwerty type'er since 1978 and never went the thumbs route or hunt and peck. I'll try two hand typing on the on screen keyboard as well as the others mentioned here. Will probably get the Samsung keyboard unless there is a better option for real typing. I'm pretty good a swype on the phone and non-tech folks are amazed.
I've been using SwiftKey with there version of Swype and like it a lot
The samsung kb isn't too bad, but I like the memory and cloud features of SwiftKey.
If I make fghjk a word on one device it is a word on all my devices and it migrates to my other new devices.
Hey guys. Appreciate the Swiftkey input but that's really not the subject of this thread.
Has anyone tried disabling DVFS and using THUMB KEYBOARD? If so I'd like to hear what you think. Lets get back on topic please.
