Browser zooms where I scroll

I always scroll from the side of the screen and now with JB, it zooms. I for one pinch to zoom... I don't need it where I scroll. Does anyone know where or how to kill this?
Thanks!

Scroll from the middle. I'm not seeing anything in settings.

I actually like it just wish I could control it. ie make it only one side or the other not both sides. its handy for one handed operation but yes like you I scroll from the SIDE (so I can keep reading) and now I can't. Grrr

Happen to me as well.. Glad to see it happening to others.. When it happened to me I thought I was going crazy

I am having the same issue, so I downloaded the google chrome browser because I was so annoyed and getting headaches..... Also NOT HAPPY with the stock Keyboard not having the mic (voice input) button on the keyboard, you have to press three different buttons to get to it, SO ANNOYING, so I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard from the App Store (which I do not understand why this phone didnt come with a Jelly Bean Keyboard..

Nm I lied

One finger zoom.

How can you disable this function?
I just want to scroll and not zoom when I slide my finger up and down on the left side. I have looked every where for a setting to disable this annoyance..

I actually just noticed this when trying to highlight text in an email...I use chrome and it doesn't zoom with the one finger so I never noticed it, 2 weeks later and still learning about this phone lol

my guess is that you have one-handed operation on. If you take that off I bet it will stop zooming with one finger.

Still does it with one hand operation off.

Cool I can zoom with one finger. Love this feature now since I only scroll from the middle of the screen.

Still no disabling of this feature?

One Finger Zoom
It is a simple to use application to ZOOM on your images with a simple touch, while maintaining the resolution of your images. One tap to zoom and move in different areas of the picture! All the details, with the original resolution, are now at your (one) finger, one touch and there you go!
you can download it from Slideme Market

Spam ^^ . Dolphin beta doesn't have the slide zoom thankfully.

Still can't figure out how to stop the scrolling on edges....

Theres a mod for the n7100 for it, takes a little work but not too bad

Thank goodness for AOSP. I'm on AOKP and couldn't stand this feature on Stock based roms.

I don't have any of the one handed options enabled and it zooms for me from one finger near the edge of the screen.

[Q] Is there a way to disable the zoom effect whle slding up and dn the screen edges?

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?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

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?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Use Chrome. ..IMO far superior browsing experience. Side zoom isn't an issue
Sent from my SPH-L900

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.

[Q] Keyboard too big on landscape mode

Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to resize the keyboard in landscapemode, because when I'm using whatsapp etc. it covers more than half of the screen.
A noobfriendly way to make it work would be awesome guys
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Yeah it is quite big eh... Just tried it now. But maybe as the phone is large there is no need to use landscape on it.
The portrait on this is like landscape on an Iphone lol

That's true but I'm used to write in landscapemode cause i have big thumbs so it would be really nice if someone found a way

How to fix clicky home button?? SOS

I have a clicky home button. It kinda is like a two stage button. Its very clicky and not soft and smooth like the power button and volume buttons. If I were to describe the sound it almost sounds like there is a little piece of sand stuck under the button and every time you press it, the button hits it. How would I go about fixing this? I bought the phone off craigslist so could I just go into the T-Mobile store and get a replacement? Or is there a way to fix it? Any help would be AWESOME

That's the noise the button makes.
Seriously?

No it is not smart ass. I've had other Samsung devices with the same button. It is not how its supposed to sound. And it does not happen every time I press it. Usually on the left or right side it does

Mine makes a clicky sound. Everyone I know with a S4 had the same click sound.

In my opinion the build quality is inconsistent. I've bought 3 of them and one had a defective power button (i.e., recessed slightly and difficult to press). If you think something is wrong with your home key go to the store and compare to their demo phones. If there is a real problem with your phone they will tell you your options for getting warranty service.

I just checked 3 different m919s, they all make a click sound on the home key. the power button is mushy and quiet on all 3, and the volume buttons are just in between if you can hear beyond the beeping.
if you're sure something has creeped in there, have you tried taking some dust off to your phone?

How can it be the same button on a DIFFERENT Samsung device?
SOS!!!!!!!!

My girlfriend S4 has the same problem but my S4 is fine. I guess there's no fix.

I've got a little home button sticker on mine that came with my Spigen case. Doesn't really make much of a click.

Had this on my 2nd one. Its like the button kinda gets stuck a bit then it clicks. It just started doing it. My 3rd replacement is fine. Hopefully it stays that way.
