Why doesn't the pinch to zoom keep up with your fingers? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I've noticed after playing with the OG epic and the evo 3d that the pinch to zoom is with your finger no matter how fast you move your fingers. With this phone it doesn't quite keep up. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried other browsers but the pinch to zoom lags and its annoying.
Thanks

I don't know, I've found the pinch to zoom to work perfect. Never seems to lag at all for me.

I haven't noticed any lag either.

Have you used an evo 3d, iphone ( I hate apple products but just saying), epic 4g, bionic. Any other phone really. The pinch to zoom on our phone is smooth yes but if you pinch fast it doesn't keep up with your fingers.

Laggy keyboard

Does anyone have an issue with a laggy keyboard. It seems like once my message that I'm typing gets longer, its hard for the keyboard to keep up with me. I got rid of the on screen spell check to see if that improves the speed, but doesn't seem to help. I can type out a couple words before it actually shows up on the screen.

I've run into this same exact issue. When typing fast, it gets a few words behind. Happens on CDMA version.

+1 cdma version. The lag is horrific when I am using the keyboard in landscape mode. I am curious to know if it is a problem for everyone as well.

Happening to me quite often. On a GSM version, even in portrait.
The phone had been working great for two weeks and getting a few issues with it in the last three days.

Wasn't impressed with the stock keyboard so I got SwiftKey
Yeah same thing happening here in landscape. I just noticed this yesterday - I don't know if it's just started happening or the honeymoon phase is just wearing off?
there seems to be almost no lag in portrait, but yeah landscape is death.
The only solution at this point is to install a third party keyboard, or just always type in portrait.
I installed SwiftKey and besides couple minor quibbles it works pretty well. In landscape it lags slightly every once in a while but it is nowhere close to the showstopper the stock keyboard is. Definitely something in ICS holding us up and Google needs to get on the ball.

This is a pretty widespread issue. Check out this article: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/22/noticing-lag-in-the-ice-cream-sandwich-keyboard-in-landscape-mode/
I run TouchPal keyboard and don't notice any lag.
If you have a laggy keyboard switch off the force hardware acceleration option.

Browser zooms where I scroll

I always scroll from the side of the screen and now with JB, it zooms. I for one pinch to zoom... I don't need it where I scroll. Does anyone know where or how to kill this?
Thanks!

Scroll from the middle. I'm not seeing anything in settings.

I too had this issue, thought it was a defect. Pretty annoying. Would love to disable it

I agree, Its the same on the phone and the S3. Doesn't matter the browser. Real annoying...
BUMP.
Any devs know what's up?
yes I hate the zoom function there Would be nice to disable it

I actually like it just wish I could control it. ie make it only one side or the other not both sides. its handy for one handed operation but yes like you I scroll from the SIDE (so I can keep reading) and now I can't. Grrr
Happen to me as well.. Glad to see it happening to others.. When it happened to me I thought I was going crazy

I am having the same issue, so I downloaded the google chrome browser because I was so annoyed and getting headaches..... Also NOT HAPPY with the stock Keyboard not having the mic (voice input) button on the keyboard, you have to press three different buttons to get to it, SO ANNOYING, so I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard from the App Store (which I do not understand why this phone didnt come with a Jelly Bean Keyboard..
Nm I lied

[Q] Is there a way to disable the zoom effect whle slding up and dn the screen edges?

Any help with the above question would be appreciated.
I also have this issue a lot when browsing. Maybe it's just a sick browser issue?

Same here. I hate that slide zoom feature in the web browser but im sure its intended to work that way. I bet a dev could modify the browser apk to get rid of that.
I know if you stay away from the edges it won't do it. But it does get kinda annoying. I've read this was a change in JB due to the whole Apple lawsuit crap.

Well I don't know about you folks but I like it. Specially when using the phone single handed.

Use Chrome. ..IMO far superior browsing experience. Side zoom isn't an issue
Sent from my SPH-L900
My S3 does the same thing and its really annoying. I would use Chrome but that permanent address bar is really annoying especially in landscape. Plus the stock browser is faster.
I always tended to scroll the page at the very edge of the phone so that finger oil doesn't gloss over the text I'm trying to read...lol
Cool feature. I didn't know you could do that as I've been using Chrome which is awesome IMO, but this feature alone may make me use the stock browser from time to time. I do wish that when companies added features like this they would provide an option for users to be able to enable/disable as not everyone is going to like it.
I'm on LK8 and it doesn't have the scroll edges in the stock browser.

I didn't think it had to do with a specific browser since it does it in all three I use.

Browser edge zooming

Hey everyone! The one thing that's driving me crazy that I haven't figured out yet is how to disable the edge zooming in the stock browser. Had anyone figured it out yet?
Same..makes me crazy, especially with one handed browsing. I just keep trying to remind myself to push in the middle of the screen up and down.
Drives me crazy too. Help! !

Has any rom developer removed this yet?
Annoys me too. I got my note yesterday and I thought something was wrong with the note's touch sensitivity.
Just use Chrome. It's so much better and doesn't do the zoom thing.

Until Chrome can become the default embedded browser (I.e. in apps such as Pulse or Flipboard), using Chrome will only help you when browsing in Chrome and makes no difference when using an embedded browser in any other app.

Multitouch issues

So I just got my OG and love it, but I've noticed that multitouch doesn't work horizontally - just vertically. I can pinch to zoom up and down in any given app but not left to right. Other than that, the touch panel appears to be working correctly. Is this a known issue or something that anyone else has encountered? I'm on stock unrooted ZVB for the moment. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
