I'm experiencing massive keyboard lag when I put the phone in landscape (wide screen) mode when I'm in the browser since ive gotten the update. For example while i type this, I can type whole words out and have to stop and wait for the phone to catch up. :(
I didn't have this problem pre-update and it only seems present on the browser and not in sms.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? It makes punching out a Facebook comment or forum post pretty painful lol.

I don't think its the forum as other forums I participate on have the same kinda lag when typing out a reply on my phone as this one.
I don't have haptic feedback or sound feedback enabled, as it drove me nuts hehe.
I was not aware of the mobile version of the site, with it on it seems to have cut down slightly on my keyboard lag. Thanks for that! I still have some decent amount of it though, more than I would suspect from trying to type something out from the browser.

well, take for example the word prediction that pops up when youre typing. when i make a post here on the hero, i can literally punch out 3 words before anything shows up on screen besides the first letter, never mind word prediction to fix my typos, it just can't keep up. and as i said before -- i'm not an uber fast typer. this is my first virtual keyboard.

If i wanted it to work "properly" i would have to hit one or two characters every 2 seconds for every word i typed in order for it to keep up with me. I could do that with my thumb in landscape mode, but that's just not practical unless all my forum posts only contain something to the effect of "yes, ok." ;-)

I really don't think it's a forum problem, I think it's a hero problem. As much as I hate to say it.

Edit: so I've discovered the dolphin web browser. It's pretty amazing stuff, loads pages really quickly and as I type out this message I'm getting virtually no keyboard lag. I think I've found a new default browser. :)
