The Dolphin browser developers have answered our requests and have fixed the keyboard input lag with HC3.1!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152180
If you're frustrated with the keyboard input lag on the stock browser and disappointed at the lack of auto zoom on Opera then Dolphin HD 6.0 should answer your needs!
Happy browsing and posting
That is good. I've been using Maxthon Pad for tablets. I was resistant at first as the brand power of Firefox and Opera stands out to me in terms of experience. But they have issues. Maxthon Pad has really been easy to adapt to and use. The stock browser will get an update to offer the Labs table in settings. This will off the thumb navigational pop up controls. I loved those on the Asus Transformer. But if the lag and crashes persist.... not much good they will do. Lol
Ill give Dolphin HD a try. I need to start zeroing in on a browser to build on. I don't like having to keep repeat saving bookmarks and logins.

Can you elaborate on the quick controls lab settings? Where did you hear this?
Yes.
1) The controls are on Asus Transformer, which I owned before returning for SGT10.1. The end result when enabled is this: you can slide your thumb(s) in from the edge inward and a popular menu appears. It remains until you lift thumb from screen. It is a half circle of controls that include back, forward, refresh, as well as, browser address line, tab switching/adding/closing, and settings. It also has a bookmark ribbon button to access the bookmark view and management page.
2) in general discussion a member reported getting the new Touchwiz update Friday. No one else has seen or received it yet, however that user confirmed the options are there post update.
If search on Asus Transformer browser review, you may find a video or screen shot. This makes it very easy to navigate the browser controls without stretching those thumbs too much.

Oooo... yes I have the touchwiz rom and love the quick controls. Easilybest part of the browser. I misread your post as an update would turn it off. I almost cried. Thanks for clearing that up.
Btw Xda and Facebook still render like crap and text is still not consistent.
Lag is much better, but sadly the bug where you click "open in new tab" and nothing happens. Back to stock again.
got my new scribe today, and i love it..besides the built in stuff, what other apps utilize the pen?
If you're on Honeycomb try Quill. Also there is the Sketchbook app (from AutoCad, I think) but you can use pro with Honeycomb.

Quill is definitely the way to go if you wanna take hand-written notes. Much better then the stock app. The writing is really natural =)
I just got my Scribe a few days ago and am looking for some good apps too. Sketchbook Pro is really good. I haven't tried Quill though. I wonder what else is out there
just used sketchbook and it rocks. is quill worth the dollar? lol. i like the built in pen menu on htc notes app... does quill allow you to use that too?

Once you're on Honeycomb, all apps support the Scribe. That's aprt of the reason Honeycomb rocks on the Flyer.
That said, here are a couple that benefit from the scribe:
Fresco - a painting program with pressure sensitivity
Drawing Pad - a simple drawing program for children
Citrix Receiver - a front-end for Citrix based virtual machines and applications. When connecting to a Windows 7 VM it's nice to have the stylus' fine selection point.
Quill is worth the dollar. I have been jumping back and forth between the stock app and quill to take notes and it's night and day for me. Quill seems more accurate and has more options.
I also heard there was a game "what the doodle" that worked well with the flyer/pen but I haven't tried that.
I do a lot of note-taking and idea-sketching for work. Quill is definitely worth $1. I have tried it and its pretty nice. But, found one that I actually like better, WritePad Stylus. (You can search for it in the Market.)
Quill, Writepad Stylus, Lecture Notes are all very good for note-taking. To quickly jot stuff down, I like Whiteboard Pro (was free on Amazon the other day). Foxit is my favorite for pdf annotations. I wish someone could port MyScript Stylus (universal stylus input) from the Lenovo app store. That would be a killer app!
howcome nobody liked the stock htc app for quick note taking? i think it's cool that it's evernote. for example, when I was in sketchpad and i hit the pen green button, it didn't bring up pen settings.. only, take a screen shot, notes, etc. that's what I mean. In quill or something, when I hit that, will my diff choices of pens, colors, sizes etc come up?

getting writepad now..some people say it's better than quill on the reviews
ugh, here's why i don't like it though. you can't hit the green pen button to bring up different choices of pens.
and it just crashed my flyer lol
------
trying quil.. btw, apparnetly quill is on sale, only 49 cents.
I'm pretty sure the only app that will use the green button to select pen styles is the built in HTC app.
All the 3rd party apps use their own pen selection methods
gothca.
i'm liking quill a lot, and for 49 cents, that's a deal
Check out trace too. It lets you load an image then trace it then remove the image

If you could suppress the keyboard I'd have no issues with the stock app. I like it better than Quill in terms of its support of the erase button on our pens and the fact that, since it's not vector based, you can erase in a more natural way (Quill forces you to erase entire lines).
However, every time I use the built-in notes app, the keyboard pops up almost as soon as I start writing. It only seems to enable palm rejection after you've started writing with the pen.

MyScript has already been ported. Check it out here. It's my favourite note taking app at the moment, but not for drawing (didn't even try it in that way). The only think I dislike is that it only let's you export one page of your notes at a time (at least in handwritten notes). Enjoy!

same problem here. my kb always pops up. so annoying.

Hmm, that is Notesmobile and FlexT9, not MyScript Stylus.
Thank you anyway.
Just to let you guys know, the more recent version of ezpdf now has palm rejection for HTC Scribe. As far as I'm concerned, the only major thing you give up using ezpdf over the PDF Viewer is the eraser function.
However, ezpdf has much better capabilities to do variable pen widths, to resize and move annotations. Combine this with the general superiority of other functions (for example, ezpdf has a strong bookmarking feature plus has the ability to remember where you last read-to), and I'm pretty much set to move over completely to ezpdf when using the Flyer.
Thanks for this!

Wow now scribe editing with ezpdf is really smooth. And it works fullscreen with a hidden hc bar.
I only wish it wouldn't auto save after every annotation. Pdf viewing is only a tad slower than repligo , but their pen support is terrible.
I would like to request for pdf reader to be made with animations like in the ICS App Drawer (and as smooth) or those found in the stock ICS Gallery App. Repligo is decent but sliding from page to page is no where near as smooth as it is in the ICS Gallery/App Drawer and is slow at rendering pages.

Ezpdf is the fastest but it still has lag if you go reaaaaly quick. Its faster and smoother than repligo

I tried ezpdf and the thing I really dislike about it is that we need to swipe very quickly/hard to actually change pdfs. Everything is seemless and smooth in the Gallery App

There is diffrent ways to change pages, fasteset is horizontal. No page flipping (page flipping by button) is the most stable

Is it just me, or is there a pretty significant delay while using the s-pen on Papyrus? What can I do to fix this?
Also, what applications are good for note taking in class and have palm rejection or compatible with the s pen? I would prefer if I could write everything on a single page and scrolling instead of making a new page like i have to do in s note. I have been using Handwrite but it starts to lag after a while of writing. I would be using Papyrus if not for the delay.
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions. I just tried lecture notes and it's pretty good. I still really like how my notes look in Handrite though. Are there any other apps similar to it?

Lecture notes, at first start up you need to go into settings and enable things like palm rejection and pressure sensitivity. Once tweaked, lecturenotes is fantastic
