Hello ,
Using 4.0.2 and i seem to be getting a "smearing effect" in the stock browser whenever I come back to a page that has text. The letters appear to be blurred for an instant and then they focus. It does not do this with my Opera browser nor any other app that I have used thus far. Has anyone else seen this happening?
Yep happened to me as well, just right before screen transition. I'm on stock 4.0.1 though.

It's completely normal. One of ways they made the browser faster.

I installed the latest LJ7 rom, and I've come across an issue where the screen does a pinch to zoom if I run my finger up or down on the left or right side of the screen.
This affects the stock browser and most other browsers except chrome. Gallery and other apps are not affected.
Anyone know how to turn this off? I looked at the stock browser's settings and did not find anything.

It's been like that in the last 4 JB leaks. It's an invisible zoom bar, really annoying.

I have tested gmail and chrome and neither of them do this.
Hello,
I normally use Dolphin Browser but read on XDA that the Stock Browser is (nearly) as good and offers full-screen, better battery, etc. I tried it yesterday but have a strange blueish haze (as if there was some overlay) over the screen that makes reading quite difficult.
I made pictures but when I make a screen shot, this haze disappears. Photos with my iPhone don't show a lot (...:cyclops. I tried different settings for screen brightness but this doesn't change a thing.
Anyone has this problem or am I missing something.
While I'm at it, how do I change the home page on the stock browser because the menu doesn't offer this option..
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ton
Hi.. its because you have power saving mode activated in settings.
Once you remove that , stock browser will show in full brightness

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.

is there a way to set it to just one side instead of both?

Use Chrome. ..IMO far superior browsing experience. Side zoom isn't an issue

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.
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.
I am using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 with Wicked v5.1 Rom, and I have consistently experienced an issue with the updated YouTube app. Every time I watch a video in landscape mode and then turn it into portrait mode, a black bar appears between the status bar and the YouTube search bar. The bar doesn't go away even in landscape mode. The only way to make it go away is to exit the app, but the black bar always comes back. It really is quite annoying. I know that others have the same issue as I do because of what I have read on the Internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really hope that Google fixes this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks!
I love the new UI.
But is it the latest version?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
As of yesterday when it was released.
I've noticed similar problem with this version as well. You can see it on top of the title/menu bar.

I should mention that I've tried other roms like GE and they don't have that problem. I think it's TW related.
Here is the before and after the portrait/landscape/portrait turns.

Both old and new versions have the same fck bug. Its ridiculous. A version before those 2 was fine....
I am on infamous roms and when in landscape mode I can't even view the seek/status bar! I have to go to portrait making it smaller then tap the vid box again to see how far through a vid I am or seek back and forth... I read one other review on Google apps play market so I know it's not just my rom, but there must be something up with the gs3 not letting me view this bar all the time.
