To Dolphin HD Users - Typing/Input Lag

---

I just emailed the Dolphin HD devs and made them aware that this issue exists. I also let them know that Opera has fixed this issue, so it's not Honeycomb OS specific.. rather a coding issue on their part. I assume they modeled the base of Dolphin after the stock browser, hence why they show the same lag issue and also the same highlighting of the text field/box.. not sure if this blue highlighting is causing the lag, but Opera sure doesn't show this.

If everyone could just please take a min to send a note to the Dolphin devs letting them know also, I'm hoping we could get them to update this browser with the lag fix. I'd rather not use Opera, and I'm sure you prefer Dolphin more as well.

You could easily contact the devs in the Android Market.. within the Dolphin browser app page

Update:

Got a response from the devs. They're looking into this issue now. Hopefully you guys sent them a note also, so we could give this issue some priority

Definitely will do. I use dolphin as my default browser on my phone, but it needs some work on tablets.

I thought more people would actually put the effort to try and get a fix for this browser. I guess people aren't bothered enough by the lag. I hope I'm wrong and that more than two people actually wrote the devs.

Anyway, I've been communicating back and forth with the devs. I sent them here to check out the lag while typing in XDA after they requested sites for examples. They are looking into it, and hopes to have a fix soon. They have version 6 developing, and I saw a note for the beta testers, so hopefully it will come soon.

Thanks. I wrote too, and hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Now Google should also get their act together and fix this as well.

Sent them an email about this.

I've also noticed that when searching for images under google search, the page does not load properly; tiny thumbnails that can be zoomed in, but doesn't interactive properly. The stock browser does a good job at this.

Worse than the keyboard lag is the fact that half of the time when I long press a link and click "open in new tab" it doesn't open the tab. Never had that problem on my phone, just the tab. It got so bad that I went back to the stock browser, even though the keyboard lag is worse there.

it happens on the stock browser too. sometimes the new tab will not open. so dolphin is possibly a shell or uses some common api's that stock uses. unless we get the stock browser fixed i doubt dolphin will be able to fix anything w/o writing their own browser like opera did.

This has not happened to me one time on the stock browser, but happens all the time in dolphin.
