Erm. Where's the home button on the browser? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I hope I'm being blind but I can't see it. Hell I only found out recently that a long press on the back button brings up bookmarks, history and saved web pages.
Someone please tell me I'm being blind.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's been a home button in stock browser in a long time (if ever).
Im guessing if you open a new window, it will go to your homepage.

That is a massive tip it's been drving me nuts having to scroll to the top.

Yea I don't think there is a home button. I like the Honeycomb browser and the MIUI Siren Browser where the tabs are visible at the top like a desktop browser.

Not quite the home button but you can type a search into the address bar (with a quick flick to bring to life)

Although I can't answer your question, I like to thank you for the tip. Long pressing the back button is a great shortcut to get fast into the bookmark menu!

Swype on Virtuous - Strangeness

When you double tap a word in Swype, a word choice window pops up. On Virtuous, another edit box pops up and covers my word choice box. Anyone have any idea how to disable that other edit box?

Try rotating the phone to landscape. The contents will shift and the Sense edit box might clear the Swype edit box. Just a thought.
Rotating the phone to landscape for every word edit would get tedious. Serious carpal tunnel. I guess I'll just need to uninstall Swype and live with the Sense kb.
Thanks for the replies, guys!!

Change UA String

Does anyone know how to change the UA String on this phone or even if it is possible. I know it was easy as typing "about:debug" in the browser to unlock that setting when using HTC phones but cant seem to find anyway to change it for the E4GT. The "Desktop View" option in the browser settings does nothing.

Nope. Still giving me the mobile view. Guess I gotta use another browser.
About:useragent
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
the problem with using that on the stock browser is that it doesnt stick. I always have to go to about:useragent.
i got tired of that so now i just use a different browser. I really like boat browser.
If you do it a few times it will auto complete, works fine for me

Try Boat Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ib2F0YnJvd3Nlci5mcmVlIl0.
I love the controls of the browser, couple screenshots below. Another thing I like is it gives you the option to automatically clear history when exiting the browser which is good for privacy, if you like that feature.
If you press the 2 up arrows in the bottom right you get this pop up and options (its customizable too):

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
UA string options:
Then if you press the menu capacitive button you get some more:
Thanks for the suggestions. I just decided on using a different browser. Can't see myself having to do the user:agent thing everytime I open the browser. Hopefully some thoughtful dev will fix that in an upcoming ROM.

[APP] Keyboard S

I've been using this app called Keypad S for a few days as one of my lockscreen shortcuts (and nova launcher gesture targets).
I think the idea is genius and the implementation is very clean and fast. It works extremely well as an app launcher (google search is awful at that) and a T9 dialer.
Keypad S is a super dialer for Android phones. You could use it to search for apps, bookmarks, contact names, email addresses, phone numbers. All in one place.
How to use?
1. Type in the query using the number keys with corresponding letters: e.g. 36245 for "email" app
2. The search results will instantly appear on top as you type
3. Click the icon in search results to open it, or click the phone key to dial the number

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a good implementation of search. But I'm pretty sure the Google search app is good enough for this.

Main reason I went looking for an alternative was that google search fails to find my apps half the time (or it takes ~5 seconds). I've done EVERYTHING to find the issue and I came up empty handed.

This Menu button only appears, if phone doesn't have hardware Menu button.
If you use on-screen buttons, which doesn't have menu button either, then that button appears in some apps.
But I have used a ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786871
It has this button too. I want to know how to make this button apear.
As I said, that Menu button appears if phone doesn't have own Menu key (enabled).

I'm not sure, but mine seemed to turn up when I flashed AeonWorld's Xperia S Lockscreen. It does however, turn up in every app, like the web browser or youtube. The Links below:

decompile framework-res.apk go to res/values/bools.xml and change the line navigationmenu(something like this don't remember exactly) to "true"

Tip: Decrease the Galaxy S III’s home button activation lag/latency

In addition to taking you to your homescreen, the Galaxy S III’s physical home button is used to activate Samsung’s S Voice feature By default, double clicking the home button will automatically bring up S Voice. However, in order to recognize a double click, the Galaxy S III must add a few milliseconds of delay..
This is known already. If you are putting "Tip" in the Title then it should be an actual tip in there. Just my take. I may be wrong... But I doubt it. Not to be a butt head but sheesh... lol

WTF is this? If you put "Tip" in the title, put the ACTUAL tip in the thread instead of rant... such noob.

Just the tip to see how it feels! :banghead:
I think the recessed home button is inevitable :\
And if you touch the screen all sorts of stuff happens. Thats tip #2.

I don't use svoice so I disabled double click and now my home button is responsive

if you press the power button your screen will go black, tip#3
Came across another tip while trying this one out!
In addition to filling the cavity in the rear of the phone, the Galaxy S III’s battery provides power to the phone. By default the phone experiences extreme lag without a battery (days, even months).
*Samsung was forced via an Apple lawsuit to install this delay by default.
