I installed the latest LJ7 rom, and I've come across an issue where the screen does a pinch to zoom if I run my finger up or down on the left or right side of the screen.
This affects the stock browser and most other browsers except chrome. Gallery and other apps are not affected.
Anyone know how to turn this off? I looked at the stock browser's settings and did not find anything.

It's been like that in the last 4 JB leaks. It's an invisible zoom bar, really annoying.

I have tested gmail and chrome and neither of them do this.

Hello ,
Using 4.0.2 and i seem to be getting a "smearing effect" in the stock browser whenever I come back to a page that has text. The letters appear to be blurred for an instant and then they focus. It does not do this with my Opera browser nor any other app that I have used thus far. Has anyone else seen this happening?
Yep happened to me as well, just right before screen transition. I'm on stock 4.0.1 though.

It's completely normal. One of ways they made the browser faster.

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?

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?

Use Chrome. ..IMO far superior browsing experience. Side zoom isn't an issue

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.
Hello everyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this situation. The very annoying bug I have is that the browser is often in full screen mode. I am referring to the stock browser. I'm on the latest UBDM3 rom from Samsung. Rooted with custom recovery but it did this before I installed the recovery.
I'm not sure if I remember having this bug before on previous builds. But my suspicion is that I didn't.
I can get the notification bar to show up and stay if I go into the browser settings and toggle full screen on then off in labs. But it will eventually go back to full screen again.
Yeah I noticed that buy in chrome.
It used to go into full screen on it's own.

I haven't noticed it in Chrome myself but I also haven't used chrome in a while. I prefer the stock browser for those quick controls. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed or care about this. I think it's annoying not being able to access the notification bar unless you swipe and eventually bring it down.
I am using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 with Wicked v5.1 Rom, and I have consistently experienced an issue with the updated YouTube app. Every time I watch a video in landscape mode and then turn it into portrait mode, a black bar appears between the status bar and the YouTube search bar. The bar doesn't go away even in landscape mode. The only way to make it go away is to exit the app, but the black bar always comes back. It really is quite annoying. I know that others have the same issue as I do because of what I have read on the Internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really hope that Google fixes this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks!
I love the new UI.
But is it the latest version?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
As of yesterday when it was released.
I've noticed similar problem with this version as well. You can see it on top of the title/menu bar.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I should mention that I've tried other roms like GE and they don't have that problem. I think it's TW related.
Here is the before and after the portrait/landscape/portrait turns.

Both old and new versions have the same fck bug. Its ridiculous. A version before those 2 was fine....
I am on infamous roms and when in landscape mode I can't even view the seek/status bar! I have to go to portrait making it smaller then tap the vid box again to see how far through a vid I am or seek back and forth... I read one other review on Google apps play market so I know it's not just my rom, but there must be something up with the gs3 not letting me view this bar all the time.
This was a feature that I first experienced on my galaxy S2 with a custom stock rom. I didn't like it then and don't like it now. It's erratic (or my finger is) and I can't figure out how to disable it. Does anyone else have issues with this?

No idea what Edge Zoom is.. You might try and explain that a bit more.
Sorry. With a web page open, you can touch somewhere near the edge of the screen, slide your finger up or down and the page zooms in or out. I can't get it to work consistently in one spot. It's weird because I would think that if they implemented it, they would provide an option to disable it.

Is this just on the stock Samsung browser? Sounds like it.
I haven't used the stock browser in a long time. Try "Next Browser".
Found this for you though:
