Scroll Extreme Keyboard Lag

Hi all,

First time poster and new to the forum. Purchased an Extreme about a week ago. A couple of problems with it including the buzz noise but not too bothered about that. What I am concerned about is the lag I have on the keyboard. When working in various office suites (Kingsoft, Quickoffice Pro HD...) text typing gets very laggy once I've got more than around 50 words. I have tried the various fixes such as..portrait mode, disabling spell correction, I've also tried 3 different keyboards from Google Play. I have this fault using both on screen and physical keyboard. Does anyone have any other fixes and if not do I have to install a custom ROM of 4.0.4? If I have to...does anyone have a decent guide on how to do that with the Extreme?

Many thanks for any help

Welcome to the forum.
That keyboard lag you are experiencing is unfortunately a fault of the firmware.
When ICS was released by the geniuses, Dave(R.I.P) and Suggsy. The Excel suffered from the same problem.
Now with the recent firmware update by Suggsy, 99% of the lag uas gone, and typing is a joy again. Especially with Super Keyboard Pro.
I dare say, eventually, someone will come up with an updated firmware, with a newer Kernel.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I only have the Excel.

Welcome once again :-)

Many thanks for the advice.

Do you know how I would go about installing the new firmware and what version it it?

Sorry for the delay.
I don't believe anyone has come up with better firmware for the Extreme as yet. And don't rely on SO to supply it :-(

Someone will come up with better firmware for your tablet, sooner or later though :-)
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

My Extreme has just arrived in the post and I don't see any lag when typing, but I will keep testing.
