How do your guys trackpad work?

I noticed mine is very slow and bad when trying to scroll vertically.
When I'm in the icons screen. I can scroll left to right between the four icons very fast and easy.
But when trying vertically, it's slow as hell, I gotta hold my thumb a little harder. It just isn't as smooth.
EDIT:
Uploaded a video of my iPAQ Data Messenger to show you how smooth I can scroll with the optical trackpad on it. My Desire does nothing even as close as that!

Sorry, didn't see that thread. Can a mod close/delete this topic for me?

Just bought Galaxy Nexus

wow nice phone
I got some questions :
There's a chance like in Iphone while you browsing if u click top of the screen you go directly to top of the screen ?
Which launcher do you use it ?
With Iphone if I receive a sms and phone is on the table, I see that the display turns On and show the sms. Here I hear the sound but nothing happen, and remains black the screen, can I change it ?
thanks

If you install handcent sms you can have iphone like chat bubbles and the option to have screen on and sms popup

Nova ftw!
Too many issues with apex or go launcher.
Nova has served me well.

another tip that can save me
With Iphone, if you visit a huge website like blogs, and u are very deep in it, then if you wanna get on the top of the page, you just touch top screen of browser et-voilà you get insta moved to the top.
Here I miss it
any chance or im blind and i dont see it ?

I don't think that exists, but if you use Opera/Opera Mini/Opera Mini Next, they have it to where if you scroll up fast enough you get an option to just click a button to head straight to the top.
... at least I think that was Opera.

ah damn thats so bad, it so wonderfull tool.
theres a way to get into google with 1 click maybe ?

On ICS Browser + you can tap the website icon to jump to the top of the page. Here's the market link.

For Google you can just tap the search bar on your home screen. It can search Google and your phone for apps and contacts also.

Usually if you just try to scroll really fast it will go very far all the way to the top.

Web browsing question

Hey all, just got my S3. Have been living on a G2 for a full 2 years. Had no issues, didnt see a need to upgrade. But I finally did.
I do a lot of news browsing on my fone, part of my job, i was able to double tap the text portion and my G2 would center and fit to screen just the text of the articles. Havent been able to figure out that on my S3. Is it even possible or do i just have to try and zoom and landscape view everything?
Another quick question, quick closing web page currently viewing. Say I was reading an article on one webpage and another window had say um er porn, how would i quick close the porn and go back to the article. (girlfriend is a quiet walker)

I use xscope browser, swipe to the side and the screen changes to your other open page and dbl tap zoom works.

Regarding the text resize issue, the default browser should have that functionality. Check that settings > advanced > auto fit is enabled. If I was worried about hiding pr0n fast I would just hit home and open something random. It'd be like to key presses. I'm guessing switching tabs would have to be the same or more.

but that does not explain the pants around the ankles....

Stock browser has a reading mode. On a lot of sites press the green R in the address bar. Not quite the same but can be nice to use.

This made me chuckle.
Why not just hit the home button ?
Is it really more believable to be going at it to an article about stool softener, solar panels, or Obama than your homescreen ? Homescreen's probably less awkward than Obama, man, unless your girlfriend is into that.
Also, browsers have tabs. Just switch tab ? Delineate browser usage by function ?
Or just look at porn together or something that way you don't have to hide it. :good:

Thanks guys, the autofit actually helped a lot.
"checking for hemoroids" is a good excuse for the pants around the ankles. Has worked for me.

[Q] keyboard and lockscreen question

So whenever I type I get a keyboard in my notification area asking me to choose an input method, im using the samsung keyboard, and it annoys me that it is there.
I'm also not fond of how the quick punctuation works.
Im wondering if anyone has suggestions for a lockscreen that doesnt require me to hit ok when I enter a pin either, I realize its a small thing, but I just dont like having to hit ok.

Keyboard
Hi, the keyboard thing is just normal.. i think there is no locker with your wishing feature....
Maybe iam false let ne know..

the input method thing in the notification area is a feature introduced by google in jelly bean, its not a samsung thing.

Dark autocorrect bar

I have an A70... have to say it is one of the more frustrating Samsung's that I have owned. The most recent feature is that it has darkened the autocorrect bar so it is really difficult to see what word it is about to put in place of what you are typing. Am on android 9. Any clues on how to fix this would be appreciated. I'm on default theme with dark mode. The bar use to be fine on dark mode... just recently happened.
Tried to post a link to illustrate the issue but since I'm new, wont let me.
