Develop Bugs

Cant seem to figure this problem out.

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???

[Q] Is there a way to disable web browser zoom redraw?

There's this one function found both in the default web browser and Dolphin browser that I really would like to just go away. Maybe it's called zoom redraw, maybe it's called smart positioning or smart fit or something, I don't know.
But when you zoom in to a particular part of a web page real far, it seems to want to redraw or refit the page. This bugs me because I feel temporarily lost. I always find myself wishing that the view of the web page would just "stay there" right where it is as my fingers spread. But, sure enough, I lift my fingers from the screen, it shifts the page a little up or left or down or right and this is ANNOYING. Because what I have to do then is zoom in in small incriments so I can see where I actually am and make movement corrections for the zoom redraw and zoom some more.
It doesn't HAVE to be this way cause I notice that Xscope browser doesn't do this. Now, I like Xscope a bit aside from a few things I can't get used to. But my default browser at least for now is Dolphin. Is there a way to stop this from happening in Dolphin?

If you do the about:debug to get into settings enable "gep zoom" I think that might be what you are looking for. Hope that helps ya out.

This is right. This will disable the reflow after pinch-zoom. It will still reflow after double-tap.

Can you elaborate on this please? about:debut? Don't see about as a menu option and when I type in about:debug in the url field (firefox style), nothing happens. Hoe exactly do you do about:debug in Dolphin Browser?

Not sure about dolphin, but try anyway. They way it works with stock browser is put it in address bar without the http, and press go. It will seem like nothing happens screen stays the same, press menu button and go to settings, if it worked then you will have more setting options than usuall, now scroll down untill you see "gep zoom" and check the box. You might have to do this in the stock browser to get it to work and hopefully the setting will carry over to dolphin. If it doesn't maybe somebody that uses dolphin can chime in. try out and report back, hopefully it works for you.

about:debug does work, but resets when the browser is shutdown.

Wonder why? It doesn't with the stock browser...do the settings carry over from stock to dolphin? Try setting it in stock, and see if it works in dolphin. Probably not though since it's different software..

SUPER BuMP!
I would LOVE to know if there is SOME WAY IN HELL to get this done. i cant STAND having it redraw after pinch and zoom. if you want to re justify text, you double tap, thats just the way it is. everytime i try to zoom in on a button to hit it, it moves 3 screens worth of scrolling over. very annoying. This or finding a way to get the stock browser.apk to work in an htc kernel/rom would be just as good. ive looed up certain ways, but most dont work anymore or never worked in the first place.

about:debug is really working, I love you guys!
@ms79723
What do you mean with shutdown? The browser is never really shutdown, or not? I mean Android 2.2 keeps it in the background?

[SOLVED] Blue blur?

OK on some web pages, I get a blue flickery bar on either side. It happens when scrolling up or down if my finger swipe goes off to a side a bit,or if I swipe to the side on a page that doesn't scroll sideways. I can actually push right or left and hold it if I want. I relize my explanation sounded pretty dumb but that's all I got....and it happens not on every page. My noob.guess is its a certain type of page that causes it
Is this the LCD issue they talk about?
Will they fix this?

This is the overscroll glow, if you go to the end of a page, instead of going too far, it will just glow, to let you know you've reached the end of the page.

LOL It's called glow. It's an animation. You're fine

I find the overscroll bugged on the browser Samsung uses though ... like if I am not even at the end of a page, the SIDE of the browser will start glowing when the page is formatted to fit the mobile screen. I wish there was a way to disable it because it's annoying to have that each time you try and scroll down.

Exactly. Only on Samsung browser. MIRREN no problem. Can I freeze Samsung browser?

yes, it is safe to freeze it
and it's not Samsung Browser, that is the stock Android browser

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.

I like it at the bottom as well

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.

[Q] Removing/Changing the apps in the bottom row of the home screen

Hi there,
Just got a new Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. There's a line of apps installed below the page/panel indicator on the home screens, with a bunch of (to me) ill chosen apps. But I can't drag them off the screen to delete them, like I can the ones above the page indicator. I can't find any mention of what this apparently separate panel is called to search better.
Of interest, are people happy with their purchase of one of these? So far I'm finding it pretty ordinary - not horrible, just ordinary...

Just drag the apps on the lower part of your home screen to the upper part where it says delete. then you can go to your apps and drag them to the lower part of your home screen to add them in the dock
If you're saying about the lock screen then I don't know

Hi!
I'm pretty happy with the tab 10.1! With the latest OTA update it runs even smoother! The runtime is great, can handle up to 5 days with daily usage without charging. I received my leather case today, a 360° case.. I can put it horizontal or vertical and it "wakes up" when i open the case.
With that prize its an absolutely recommendation.

Hi there,
On the default home page, there's two large widgets on the top (weather and news). Below that there's a Google search bar. Below that there's a row of shortcuts. These all behave normally. Below that there's the page/panel indicator (telling you which home page you're on) and then at the bottom there's another row of shortcuts. It's that last, bottom row that I'm having trouble with. They don't seem to act normally - I can't drag them off to delete as normal. They appear to be hardwired. They are not the choice I would select and I want to change them.
Are other people able to delete these shortcuts?
Thanks!

maybe installing a launcher / shell will help you organize your tablet's home screen...

I have the same problem. I'm tired of reading the answer "click and hold then drag it up". It seems to be the stock answer on all forums. They won't move! No matter what I do, the ridiculous row of apps bottom most on the screen is stuck. There's no help for this in the help app/widget. Someone must know how to unlock these darn things. I want to replace them with ones I use regularly.

Qranparoger,
Unfortunately that is the correct answer of click and hold and move. I just did it to mine and I can move two of the three apps I have in the bottom row. The only one that cannot move is APPS. My SETTINGS and FIREFOX can both be moved to the main screen above the bottom row.
My tab is rooted, but uses stock rom. There is nothing special about what I have done. I checked settings to see if I had changed a display or security function but I do not see anything. I do remember when I first got the tab that I too was having problems. But I do remember solving it and removing the bottom row (except APPS) and rearranging the icons or deleting the icons.
It think that maybe it might be in the APPLICATION MANAGER in SETTINGS that you "Turn Off" the app and it might vanish from the bottom of the screen. Again, I cannot remember how I did it but it can be done.

Latest ROM update - still can't change the apps. My tab isn't rooted, and I couldn't be bothered to now. I don't necessarily want to "turn off" the apps, just not use my precious home screen space. Anyway, I solved the problem by buying a Nexus. Yep, free Samsung is just collecting dust, piece of rubbish... Before anyone rages on me, there's a bunch of reasons I didn't like the Samsung, not just this one thing.
