Not sure if this could be done with any other device but I noticed I could zoom In and out of web pages by just touching the edge of the screen up and down.

Yes... I personally do not like that
Anyway to turn off?
Sounds like a slight way to avoid and Apple patent hmmm...

Of the many features Samsung included in the Galaxy S3, what is your favorite (or one of them) and why? Even if it isn't exclusive to the phone, I'm curious to know.
Personally, and I didn't think this would be one of them when I heard about it, I LOVE Smart Stay. I usually use my phone a lot to browse and read forums and other internet documents. My old phone was constantly turning off the screen while I read a long post. My Galaxy S3 never turns it off. One of the best features of the phone imo. It's all the little things that work together to make this phone so great.
So what is your favorite feature of the phone?

I also love Smart Stay, it just makes reading easier than having to constantly be touching the screen.
Personally, I love all the ICS and JB leaks I get to play with!!! Never seen a phone with so many so fast!

Other than full integration with my tv and palm wipe to capture, I don't really use any, not a fan of phone camera either

I would have to agree with the Smart Stay, it works great. Swipe capture and picture in picture are also on my list. I wish u could watch youtube videos with it though like u can do with the app Super video.

Smart stay! It really helps me get through those walls of text that some people put out.

That is a nice convenience feature. Saves a few steps if you need to call someone. PiP is sweet too I agree.

How do you turn the shutter sound off for palm swipe? It's crazy loud.

There's an app called super video floating that does the same thing as the pop up player. Works on non gs3 as well
Smart stay for sure I love the feature when reading books or en gadget really helpful, I like direct call but I hate the stock messaging app :/

I find this extremely annoying as well. Particularly when I'm scrolling I don't run my finger completely straight up and down, almost more on an angle so I'm constantly zooming in and out.
Okay so its very annoying I'm running running he latest omega v7.3 now but its happened on a few other ROMs as well unless it has to do with 4.1.2 but anyways while in the browser it happens a lot when scrolling with ONE finger my thumb sometimes it zooms in or zooms out for no reason like I put another finger on the screen when I didn't. Anyone know what this issue is?

Anyone else have this issue?

ROFL
This is because you holding it with one hand & it touches the screen from two points, 1 your thumbtip. 2 your thumb base
So when you scroll it looks like you are zooming in or out
Happened with me but i figured out why is it happening by taking side view when holding it with one hand
Hope i helped you

This confused me lots when I first installed 4.1.2. I thought the touchscreen was playing up and not registering my input correctly. Then I finally realised it was zooming on the edges of the screen. Very useful when using the S Pen otherwise just a little annoying. It would be good if it could be enabled only when the pen is out.
Does it only happen on 4.1.2?

Yes only with 4.1.2. It is browser feature which is really useful especially using with one hand
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...

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.

Hello guys. Are ever have something like that? Its happens with me today and im not sure its should be like that or no. When im going to main screen I can change pages with motion. I mean every time when I move my phone its changing main screen pages without any finger slides. Is it normal?
