Mouse hover popups

I find the mouse hover preview popups quite annoying. They cover up way too much data in adjacent lines. There should be a client option to turn it off. Could someone look into this, please?

When you are in a forum such as rom development and you hover over a thread title, a preview of the thread pops up.
I think that is what he means.

Yep, Denco7, that's what I was talking about. I spent a few hours with Google looking for a way to disable it but it turns out to be a server side thing in the HTML.

Wow, that is large! Glad I've never run into that large popup...

Funny never really noticed them as have to hover over rather than scroll over to see, think the best way to get around it is just to scroll in the blank between subject & rating if they are frequent.

Yeah, I know where the safe zones are but I like to use the cursor as a place holder while I read. There is a way in the site HTML that allows the client the option to turn those obnoxious pop-ups off and I would like the webmaster to look into it. But really, who in the heck needs them in the first place?

They look like nothing more than the ALT text on the HTML links displaying the first few characters of a post. The problem looks to be the use a line breaks that cause them to run over a few lines. If you use these in somewhere like the Q&A forum it's quote handy to get an idea of a post before you click on it.
I use it all the time to try and decide if I can help before I go clicking to go in and then going back out.

Firefox and the Thanks button

I guess my html code issues were only the tip of the iceberg. XDA made some changes sometime within the past weekend that has made the Thanks button invisible to me. If I switch to IE Tab I can see it, but in my native Firefox, it is gone. I've cleared the cache, browsing history, everything, and I can't get it back. Any help would be appreciated, I can't stand Internet Exploder

Same here. I don't have the thanks button.
Firefox 3.5.16

Did this just happen to you this weekend, hav0c? I am on Firefox 3.6.13.

I'm on FF 3.6.13 and I can see the Thanks button

That's good to know - so it's got to be something going on with our own installations. I see when I switch to IE Tab that there are many ads I'm not seeing on FF (there's a reason for that - I don't do ads, I contribute) I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I use AdBlock Plus.
ETA Ha! It is there, it just isn't visible until you hover over where it should be! Veerry interesting......but stoopid (only old folks like me will recognize that quote )

For the record, the Thanks button has magically reappeared. Nothing was done on my end to make it so.

i can't see it but pointer changes to hand from arrow when i hover in the right place... had to look this thread up to find the right place!
google chrome v 9.0.597.102
mac os 10.6.6 snow leopard build 10j567
a mystery to me... although I feel a little better to see I'm not the only one - was terrified for a moment there that I was losing my mind!

No, you haven't lost your mind, and it will magically reappear at some point - no one here will explain why, though. It seems to have something to do with server load, from what I can tell.

iam on firefox 4 with windows 7 and i cant see "thanks" button either.............any progress in solution for this?
on my iPad i can see thanks button so i think it is firefox related problem ???

If you can see this image then you should see the button...

If neither of them show you the thanks button then there's something strange going on.

Anyone having display issues with this app? Or is it just my setup? I'm running AOKP M5 with 190dpi. The main issue is that I can flip up to go through the next pages just fine, but the moment I flip down to go back a page, it'll show the animation and the preview for that previous page, but then it'll still show the page I was on...and it basically gets stuck displaying that page (but realistically it's on the new page because if I tap on it, it'll show the new page's article). Sorry if that sounds a little confusing.

works perfect on sfhub's fe07, 240dpi. thanks!

That's a nice observation, just rebooted and I had the same issue. I am on cm9 160dpi.

Works perfect on my unnamed rom

I figured it out, it installs it on the SD card just go to Manage apps- All, then scroll till you see Flipboard press it and move to phone, i had to reinstall it before i did it

Simple fix is to reinstall it if you have not already done so. Open up titanium back up and find Flipboard. Long press and pick move to internal. The app should remain after reboot now.
I hate posting stuff late lols oh wells.

Mangled text on home screens?

Hello, I've got a weird error that I don't even know how to begin tracking down. Not sure if this is an ICS issue, an app issue, or a device (hardware) issue.
Several times now, I get a problem were, after a reboot, all the text on my home screen - names for apps and text within widgets is mangled somehow. Like pixels inverted, or boxed over, etc. (see screenshot)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first couple of times this happened, a single reboot made it go away. However with my latest occurrence, I've rebooted several times without a fix.
EDIT: It seems like my data connection may also require examination? Since on the 3rd or 4th reboot I was in my office with a solid WiFi connection (versus previous reboots I was in my car en-route), the problem has now gone away again.
My initial reboot this morning was as a quick-fix attempt at an absent data connection. Guess I'm off to research these "radios" everyone keeps on about...
EDIT 2: Ok, perhaps ignore the above. After a reboot made this go away, it has now come back spontaneously (i.e. just noticed it sitting in the cradle with the error again - no reboot this time.) CRUUUUD.

Are you using a custom Kernel? Some 'Overclock' the GPU to 512MHz, while Stock is 384MHz. Some devices can't handle the increase and cause screen artifacts. Post your Kernel details and I'm sure someone will point you in the direction of another Kernel if this is the case.

Not that I know of - should be all stock, since I haven't rooted or unlocked anything yet (just got the phone a couple of weeks ago).
Thanks for the help.

Stock launcher? Or using nova/apex etc?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Hi,
Another thread...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646985
Nothing related to GPU overclock...just about this possibility...
Looking in different threads in Q&A/General.
If you are using the stock launcher...I think I saw a topic with this weird issue with the stock launcher...but I can not find it anymore
In any case clear data/cache of your current launcher,reboot and see...If you're on another launcher than stock,reinstall...
I speak only for the launcher issue.

Yep, stock launcher. Thanks for the other thread.
Seems to be at bay now. Will keep an eye on it.

[Q] Google Maps Traffic Graphics Messed Up?

I've encountered something on my VZW Galaxy Nexus that appears completely new to me. I did some online research but found no one with similar problems.
To give a little background, I encountered this problem after I hit the "traffic to home" Google Now tile which took me to Google Maps. After hitting this tile, though, the graphics for traffic on my Google Maps has become very low resolution. Normally, you see two lines on each freeway, one in each direction. Right now, those lines are all blurry and overlap to the point where I can't see both lanes. It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I zoom in enough, I can get it to look like it normally does, but zooming out slightly makes it go right back to fuzzy-garbage-traffic:
Anybody know what happened? I uninstalled and reinstalled Maps, but it didn't help.

I'm experiencing a similar issue on my Galaxy Note II on AT&T. I just noticed it yesterday. And it was after I flashed my phone to Cleanrom 4.7. If I zoom in closer, the lines become sharp and are no longer blurry. Not sure how to fix it.

Getting the same thing on my EVO on Sprint. It appears that people have started taking to posting comments in the Play store as well:

I went a step further and reported it using the "Feedback" option in the map.

I'm getting this too on my Galaxy Note on CM10.1. I think this happened after the last update. Hope they fix it soon. Very annoying?

Wiped and updated to the latest nightly of CM10.1 and the problem is gone.
