Cant seem to figure this problem out. - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Whenever I open up something in my hermes that has to use a scroll bar on the right, it always opens up with the bar all the way at the bottom.
example:
When I open up a long email, the scroll bar on the right automatically goes to the bottom and I would have to manually scroll up to view the email from the begining.
I have flashed between two different roms and it still does this.
Any ideas???

Its under TaskManager settings, you have to go to Settings, System to locate TaskManager. Then enable show today option or something...
Ive soft reset about 10 times now and I have that checkmark enabled to show the quickmenu.
Hmm, well I went ahead and uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it's now there.
Thanks for your speedy help guys.

Stock Browser reflow/resize issue

I'm using the ROM below with the stock browser.
The issue is this, if I scroll to either the top or bottom, then double click, text resize does not occur. I have to double click twice for it to reflow/resize. This behavior only happens immediately after scrolling to either extreme (top or bottom), and does not happen in the middle of the page.
I would expect it to resize with a double click anywhere on the page. I don't see the significance of being at the extreme top or bottom.
I wouldn't mind switching browsers, but have yet to find one that does the reflow as well and as accurately as the stock one.

Try this stock aosp browser with green highlights. Not only will it resize/reflow properly, it is also quicker/smoother. Just use root explorer or the root option on ES file explorer to replace your existing browser in the system/app folder.
Thanks for the link.. Is there a thread that discusses this ?
Just updated to the above browser. Same issue.
I wonder if it's a bug in something else. I don't have time to try a fresh install/wipe right now, so i'm hopeful someone's experienced this issue before and figured out a fix. I wonder if it's somehow related to whatever state the system is in when scrolling to either extreme...

Download Opera Mini or Opera Mobile - both are by far the fastest browsers on the market (IMO) - it will also give you the ability to sync book marks and what not to your computer as well

Some Tips & Tricks

I stumbled across these and thought I would share. Feel free to add anything you might have found:
If you turn off auto-brightness, you can brighten the screen with a swipe of the finger. Just press the notifications area and move your finger left or right.
On both the homescreen and the apps menu you will see a row of dots indicating which page you are on. Hold the dot and scroll left or right. The pages will quickly scroll until you see the page you want.
You can focus your camera on a specific thing by touching that area on your screen.
In the camera app you can use the volume buttons to zoom in and out. OR you can pinch to zoom in and out.
Mute the Battery Notification (using Tasker) Directions are here.
Swipe left on contact name from the contact list and you'll automatically be able to send a text.
Swipe right on a contact name from the contact list and you'll automatically be able to call them.
Press your home button and lock screen button (power button) at the same time to save a screenshot.
You can scroll much faster on some apps such as YouTube, Astro File Manager and Market by using 3 fingers and if you scroll with 2 fingers you get precise scrolling (no scroll momentum).
Hold down the home button to access recent programs and the task manager.
Good stuff. Thanks!
Very useful tips, thanks!
But aren't these two basically the same thing?

The homescreen identifier dots double as a slider to scroll through your homescreens.

Holding the power button will activate a pop up menu that has 'airplane mode' as an option.
Loved the swipe left/right on contacts to txt/call. That's awesome. Another nuissance of mine gone.
BTW, you repeated abour 2 tips.
Fixed the duplication. I'll see what else I can find later.

Any way to change the docked apps on the homescreen? I prefer Handcent over the default messaging app.

I'll still never understand the logic of having a WHITE background in a messaging app... Talk about a battery killer!
That's one thing I'm going to miss about the Moment. Black background in the STOCK app, rather than having to install a 3rd party app.
All though, if I'm forced to, Go SMS is my preference.
awesome stuff
so many tricks

With Handcent you can pick either a dark or light theme. Default is light. There's even other skins you can apply.
The brightness adjust trick doesnt work for me.

Another cool one:
Testing Mode: *#0*# in the dialer enters the LCD test mode, useful if you are hunting for dead pixels or a few other things.

Thanks for the tip! It worked but now I have a followup question. Is there anyway to use the Handcent Icon widget in my dock? One of the reasons I love Handcent is the widget that shows how many unread messages I have.
FYI, other reasons I like Handcent: the lockscreen popup, it allows me to use my own sounds/mp3s as ringtones and alarms, Emoji pack allows me to send and receive emoji icons with my iPhone friends
U can hold 2 points on the screen like with ur thumbs for example. Then tilt ur phone forward or back to zoom. Just like that 10.1 tablet

Can you turn off the silly "bubble" chat with Handcent yet? Last time I tried it (a year ago) I couldn't stand the comic book look.
I'll probably use Go SMS until a dev over at SDX reverse releases a black version of the stock SMS.apk.
I'm also hoping the old version of GMail works so I can copy it over and use it with LauncherPro with working mail counts.
U dont have to have to have the bubble look. Handcent gives us different options. Android style is included if u r curious

Anyone Else Really Digging The Address Bar At The Bottom?

First time really using Mango. I just love the bar at the bottom in IE. As mobile's get bigger it's stunningly awesome. The only thing left I want is for it to hide and I'll swipe to go get it and swiping tabs.
Very cool feature. Thought I would hate it at first.
Its different. But they really need to revamp I.e. N quick and accessible back and forward buttons

I second that, what with these huge screens now it's so easy to get to, whereas before was a bit of an effort, especially if you're in bed using it lying down.

I don't get it - why do you like the address bar being permanently stuck there? Do you really need to constantly look down and be reminded of what site you're on?
Back / Forward / Favourites / Tabs buttons like on iOS (or WP7 pre-Mango) would be far more useful. I honestly can't see how being able to see the URL of the site is a cool feature; would love it if you could explain..

You should read better. He just likes the new position. But he clearly said that he would want it to hide after a few seconds.
I love the address-bar at the bottom and I agree it would be even more awesome if it had autohide after a few secs.
I prefer it at the bottom with no autohide. when i am done reading a site, i want to type a new address or go to favorites, not mess with trying to make it reappear.
It also is following windows 8 metro IE 10. It's the same way.

Besides the fact that the IE10 address bar on Windows 8 DOES hide on left click.

Just tap anywhere on a site that doesn't contain a link. Your address bar should disappear. At least it does on my W8 CP when I left click.
On my Trophy, the address bar at the bottom is a pain for me. I do a lot of single-hand typing - when the address bar was at the top, it was easy to 'thumb', but now its just not as easy...more risk me dropping the phone etc.
Plus I now sometimes accidentally press the windows or back button as well, when selecting the bar.
A simple option in settings would be nice.

confirmed. Not sure why i didn't notice the behavior. You have to wait for the site to finish loading before it will minimize. on Windows 8 CP
Its good and there should be a button to swap tabs at the side of the address bar.
I feel like Windows Phone 8 will bring a lot of gestures and UX elements from Windows 8. For example IE will be full screen on the phone and you would swipe from the top bar to bring up the menus.. Super awesome I think. Then in the menu you can add the address bar, back and forward buttons or whatever common functions you need in IE.
i don't care if the address bar is at bottom or on top. i need the "find on page" back. i almost stopped using the browser.

There's a JavaScript that does exactly that. Add it to your favorites and voila, you have your find on page feature back. Not as convenient as having it as part of the menu though.

Question Put accessibility button back in the bottom button bar

I'm going through eye surgery and one of the things that I use quite a bit is the accessibility magnification.
In the latest versions of Android OS, there's some kind of floating thing that sticks to the sides of the screen and is almost constantly in the way of something I need to tab or whatever.
Loved it so much better when I had access to the button down at the bottom. I could just click it when I needed it.
So is there any way to put that back? I honestly did try to search but I don't think I'm using the correct search terms so I never found anything useful.

that shortcut is moveable but you are right, it can get in the way and is annoying.
Are you using 3 button navigation? In the accessability options under Acessability Shortcut, it says you need to use 3 button nav for it appear in the navigation bar.

Huh. I have a three button navigation running. I'll have to look at the settings and see what I'm missing. I don't suppose it makes any difference that this is a pixel 6 pro running the latest?

Yeah, I just checked the settings and it is definitely on and there is no indication or slider or anything that says to add it to the navigation bar.
First of all, I don't run the factory system image, I run GrapheneOS, which is a security minded distribution of google-free AOSP.
Looks like the option you're looking for is at the bottom of the accessibility menu, "Accessibility shortcuts". Go in there and select "Accessibility button", then "Location", and select "Navigation bar". That would do it for you, at least on Graphene. Hope it helps.
Oh you rock!!
What an odd place to put that choice. It's buired where I wouldn't think to look for it.
