Been using chrome since the day I got my galaxy. On stock rom and cm9. Haven't had any problems.

Yeah. I have had that happen but not on my GS3. But the bug I mentioned originally, happens often.

Ya this happens for me with Swiftkey and Chrome. But I think it's only on the Google search because the auto corrects are somehow messing each other up. It does not seem to do it when you search with the address bar.

If you're talented like me you don't even have to look at the screen to know what you're typing
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Haha i guess that is my only option. It does it more when I'm text messaging. I did try taking word suggestion off (unchecked it) but it didn't work. I think that is what is causing the up and down on the screen
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Also to fix it go to the settings app then language and input then click swype settings then go to prefences then word suggestion and uncheck word suggestion and show suggested word but keep auto-correction checked if you want to keep auto correction on
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks for the info. I tried that and it didn't work. i have all the settings unchecked and the suggested word still continues to come out.

lulz? I too would like to find a fix to this problem. Using the Swype keyboard... for Swype...

Actually I just found this version of Swype
https://www.dropbox.com/s/88ar62071w8ghr0/SWYPE-ICS.apk
which is version 3.26.92.39062.
This version seems to solve the problem by keeping the suggestion bar continuously active. Kinda lame, but better than constantly resizing. Also, the accent color is blue instead of that cool orange...
Yes I'm using the Samsung keypad

You have to root, (backup and) remove current version with something like Titanium backup, reboot, then install.

Keyboard icon in status bar

n00b lol. it's there to allow you to change what keyboard you're using. if you know you specifically want to use one and never change it then disable the rest of them in language and input under settings and it'll disappear.

It's part of ICS. Was a little odd to see at first, but a handy way of switching keyboards. I suggest you get used to it cause future versions might still have this as part of the OS.

Just search the threads for how to root your phone. Its easy takes about 10-15 minutes not even. Then after you have root, download the app from the play store and uninstall anything you want, just be careful not to uninstall the wrong thing.

Any way to disable edge-zooming in the stock browser

It drives me insane when I'm using the device one-handed and trigger this "feature" when I scroll near the edge of the screen...
Same here especially when trying to bring up the quick controls.
Same here on international version

There seems to be no option. The browser itself is one of the best stock browsers I've ever used. But I want to punch sammy in the throat at times for not allowing that to be turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I agree I would also like it to be disabled. The other big annoyance in the stock browser is the double tap to zoom doesn't work (over zooms every time - naturally you have to be in desktop view to see this). There is a setting to alter it but it doesn't help. Firefox works correctly but I end up using the stock browser most of the time and just pinching.
I no longer have this problem. I was stock AT&T, then rooted, then running International ROM with a stock browser that doesn't have the edge zooming. Yes, it did annoy me when I had it.
Wow! You're right! I also changed to a different rom a while back but kind of forgot about the problem. I thought I was being more careful I guess. No! I forgot only because the problem was gone and didn't notice! Yet another reason to get off stock! Great info, big :Thumbup:

No movement on this topic I guess. This feature drives me nuts as well but I don't want to go to a different rom to resolve it.

Well you can also use a different browser - plenty of choices out there...

This actually occurs on the stock browser as well as other third party browsers...

Yep happy to say that the latest 4.1.2 update removed this annoying behavior.
Indeed. I guess they realized it was more of a pain.

Long home press doesn't bring up open apps

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager. Most the times it works, but every once in awhile it will completely stop working. A reset fixes it or if i just wait awhile it will come back.
Anyone else get this or know of a fix? Home button still works, just not the long press

This happens to me sometimes right after or during watching an online video through the browser, it doesn't work until the video player or the system UI force closes(takes around a minute)

Autocorrect

Ok so after the keyboard update I noticed that it doesn't recognize words such as I've, you'd, I'd, etc. I had to manually add them. It still doesn't recognize you'd even after adding it. Also, if I end a sentence with the word at, after typing a period, it changes to e.g.
Wow, so yea the keyboard is all messed up. Up at the end of a sentence is changes to U.K. Typing the word end switches to 32nd. Wtf is wrong with it? Some other word I typed switches to 92nd and if I type a question mark after it, it switches to "yt?"
I've also never had to go back and edit as much as I had to just typing the previous post.
Yeah the stock keyboard autocorrect is pretty dumb and gets in the way more than helping. I finally had to erase the history on mine because it was so frustrating. I will probably install Kii keyboard or Google keyboard.

I did a factory reset and am sticking with the keyboard version it came with. Works fine for me. I also don't like the way they changed the Swype in the update either.
