Erm. Where's the home button on the browser?

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!

p.s not my image, ignore the volume thing.
once enable, by touching the frame, the blue control appear.
the first one gives you opened tabs.
the middle globe gives you the search address bar immediatly,
and the ... give you extra menu.

See in these pics.. the text is overlapping.. any way to fix it?

You can either remove the upper tab or change the grid to 3x4. Other than that, nothing you can do. It's overlapping because the screen is tiny. You can also try making the icons smaller from the preferences.

If my memory serves me correct, there is a setting for this in the go launcher settings panel, I think you must untick auto size or fit or something like that. I have never had this problem before but I dont use go luncher anymore (I don't like it)
maybe its a your ROM? I am sure that updating my ROM once (I think to the Indian version) changed and aligned my icons better but I am not sure. I change ROM's often
Sticking with the South African version now thanks to Sir Doky

No such option as far as I can see. The only similar option is for the home screen, and it's for widgets.
Also it might be your system font because I've never had that problem with Go.

Can't you change the font size settings to make them a bit smaller, would that work for you?
From the GO Launcher menu, go on Visual, scroll down to Font, press App Name Size, then press DIY Size and select a smaller text size...

Who, me? That's the version that the custom rom I'm using has..

[Q] Xperia S keyboard - keypad mode

How do you make it show the keypad?
One 1 particular website I visit it will always show in keypad mode (which I want). However on other sites it will only display the full keyboard which annoys me when I want to input numbers. Is there a way to make it display?
Can post screenshots if needed.

You should have a little button on the bottom left to turn it to numbers and special charters like! !?)#-,(/

yes I do have that but that is not a keypad. When you press that button you are greeted with the following.

The keypad I am talking about is the following.
Please note that this is not the 1st keyboard available in the keyboard layout section. In that layout the numbers whilst in a keypad style are in the middle of the screen. Surely there is a way to get to that screen with a shortcut.

is this you're looking for?
go to settings>language and input>xperia keyboard(if youre using xperia keyboard),click the settings at right corner>personalization guide>then you can change the layout of your keyboard.

No that is the keyboard layout section that i was referring to earlier.
This seems to be an almost hidden keypad available with the "Full keyboard". I literally only find it available on that website. I want it available on all websites.

I also have had a web site asking for just a zip code pull up just the daily pad. It may have been triggered by the web pages html code. I have seen the option in keyboard settings, but have no idea how to switch while typing.

No. He (and I, and a few others also) meant the Full Keyboard, but at certain apps, it request the number pad only. And it forces that layout, just like T9, but the rest is on the full QWERTY.

anyone else having issues with poweramp?

I'm on latest omega, 24 I think it is.
my poweramp has a really weird issue, my 'Song's list option is hiding under the 'Folders/Library' banner at the top. its only when I put it into landscape mode that I can even see a little bit of the bottom of Songs. check out the pic

the second issue I'm having is when I longpress the call button on stock samsung headphones it doesn't skip tracks anymore, I have to use the 'use double/triple press instead of long press' advanced menu option, I'd prefer to use long press.
I had this issue on omega 23.3 as well. can anyone else tell me if this is a common problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Yea i have the same issue with the menu. Untick settings>look and feel>menus>bottom action bar and it should go back to normal.
Dont know about your second issue sorry.

Same problem here, I just unticked "Action Bar" in Look and Feel > Menus as a quick workaround.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Thanks guys, you should see the responses poweramp support team gave me.. felt like I was talking to a bunch of monkeys.. lol
saying things like 'try scrolling down derp derp'
after I sent them pictures and then a side by side comparison of how it works on one phone vs mine.. then they said 'clear my cache'... lmao
should have went to xda first. I think I might just install a working version of poweramp from before they messed it up. anyone know the last fully functional version?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Hi, I think you're using Omega v34 (latest build) and I've been using poweramp since I was still using SGS 2. Long press to skip track is no longer working in JB 4.1.1 and up because by default it's suppose to bring up Google Now. In other ROM without Google Now implemented it should work just fine. About the issue on lanscape/horizontal mode, I don't have it. I'm using poweramp build 2.05 488.
Edit: Like those fellow xda members said, removing the action bar should fix your problem with landscape mode

Use screen off widget when done texting to improve battery efficiency

Just figured out what a nice difference this is making. It can help a lot if you text a lot.
I use it after texting and gtalking and Internet browsing. Idea is cut off the last 30 seconds of screen on time when you set the phone down it stick in pocket, by tapping the widget.
This way you can set screen timeout to 2m if you want for reading (I never need more than that for interacting with a book to change pages) but get the benefit of having a super short timeout like 15 seconds.

Oh and pressing the power button wears it out and is not ergonomic like tapping.

Why would you need this if you can just press the power button to turn off the screen? You're pressing something either way. Makes no sense. Now if you have a broken power button, then that's a different story.

Personally I use screen off, I've tried the OP and others but didn't like em as much as this one. It uses the search captive search button to turn off the screen

Yes forgot to mention this was the main reason. I was paranoid about killing the power button. Pressing the power button wears it out and is not ergonomic like tapping.
