[Q] Pop Up Browser? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen this 'pop up' a couple of times now on my GN2, but for the life of me I don't know how to manually open it?
There doesn't appear to be any app for it or settings shortcut. Does anyone know how to manually open this?
Cheers

well for me it is really useful when browsing...and you click a link that opens in a new window, then you can have this new window in a pop up browser while having the main browser running in background, if you dont enlarge the pop up you can see both pages...
sorry for my bad english

Im trying to use a shortcut creator to open the pop up browser but can't find the app. Any of you know what it might be called? Thanks!
ps - popup is great for watching youtube while doing other things. will do for now since t-mo didn't get the update.

Not sure if this is a new feature but

In the default browser in jelly bean you can zoom in my sliding your figure up and down the side of the screen.

Thanks. I think this is a new feature to achieve single hand operation.
do you see the same behavior with email as well?
That's not new you can do the same in ICS
Edit:
Sorry nvm you can't do it on ICS my fault.
This is the most annoying feature I have ever encountered. I wish there was a way to turn it off. Whenever I'm reading a article on the browser I constantly keep zooming in while trying to scroll
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Agree man, absolutely hate it. Main reason I don't use the stock browser. Always keep on zooming or panning out when reading an article.

Now that I know it's there I love it.
From what I can see, some love it while others hate it. I personally use Chrome for web browsing on my GS3 but at least now we know that feature is there in the stock browser.
I stumbled across this when I almost dropped my phone in the toilet XD. Off topic but when you guys plug in your usb to your computer to add music and such things do you still get that syncing app that pops up on your screen? Mine seems to be gone now ever since the update.

I don't use the default email app but gmail doesn't do it.

The new Gmail (updated today) does do it. You'll need to go into settings and enable 'Auto fit Messages'. Voilà, zooming in with the slide of a finger and pinch to zoom of course.

That's what it is, thank you for clearing that up! I thought my phone was freaking out and randomly zooming in & out when I would scroll around. I noticed it first in Reddit Is Fun, it must use the default browser when you browse external links from inside the app. I wish the phone would've had one of those "did you know" tips pop up the first time you do it, as an FYI.

I haven't seen this, but does anyone know how to delete that stupid Sprint bookmark?

As the title says, the bookmarks on the stock Web browser has a link to sprints site
http://vision.sprintpcs.com/
which I hate!!!
Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Long press on the bookmark in your bookmark folder, and choose delete.
I've tried that first, it said "This bookmark cannot be deleted. "

It's got to still be set as your homepage if it's coming up. I always set Google and just go to Bookmarks and long press until you get the set option for home. Then close that tab and it should be gone for good!
I use s bookmarks widget and I cant get rid of it either..
I really appreciate the response, but please believe me when I tell you, it's not set as the homepage. I can't get rid of it. Here's proof.
I've made yahoo my homepage, yet it still shows that stupid Sprint thing as such. And it won't let me delete it.

edit /system/csc/feature.xml to change any instances of http://sprint.com/powerdeck to whatever you want
also look in /system/csc/customer.xml for any instance of http://sprint.com/powerdeck and change it to whatever you want. (this file is a list of stock bookmarks for the browser)
Do I need to be rooted to do this?
I'm fully stock in case you need to know.

there is an option for using either your local bookmarks or gmail ones... the gmail ones are your personal bookmarks. Im not on touchwiz right now otherwise I'd tell you exactly how but its certainly possible I did it for this reason
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I am not sure if this will work for everyone. Update and start Kies. Enter your pin. Click the Bookmarks tab. Long press and Click Delete. Tell it OK. This deleted the stupid Sprint Powerdeck bookmark from my device permanently.
Aloha
I know this is an old thread.
You can't get rid of the default page that appears when you open Chrome, unless you root your phone. The best you can do is to sent more pages on the startup screen or press the home button to the left of the address bar.

[APP] Facebook Home v1.0

Hi guys,
Here's the new Facebook Home app for people who can't download from Google Play Store.
Update first your Facebook and Facebook Messenger app and install the Facebook Home app attached.
There is already a thread for this mate... Why make another???

Anyone know if the Messenger uses SMS to send receive FB messages? Or does it just integrate FB with SMS. Don't want to pay AT&T for SMS

Agree. He wanted to make his thanks meter to reach 1000. Look now he has 1001. Maybe he's,trying to make it over 9000!!
Actually, according to time stamps this one was first by a couple of hours. I closed the one in General and redirected traffic to this thread.
I probably won't keep it, but the home app is not that bad as a lockscreen. Lockscreen serves no purpose anyway, so... Once you realize you can keep your launcher inside intact, it is not so bad.
What would be really cool is if somebody made like a Flipboard lockscreen app like FB home.

Who'd ever want to replace a beautiful android UI just to access live feeds quickly?
BTW, i hate this app.
I wonder what profit would Facebook make from HTC First.

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options
Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o
Long press options with modded apps
This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.
Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me
If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

New gmail layout..any way to multi select/delete inbox

I know this is a general question but it applies to any Android device but since im on a s4 ill ask here.
Since the new Gmail update with the new Colorful interface look,which I find useless.... is there a way to multi select all emails in the in box ,to delete instead of long pressing one by one?

Clicking on the colored letter / picture will select the email (as if it were a checkbox).
You can also disable the new look by unchecking 'Sender image' in settings.

:thumbup:Nice, that partly resolves the lengthy one by one delete process, but I sorta meant like a multi select/select all at once, then after just uncheck each one you want to keep.
But I guess only way is to check each email one by one .
Thanks though :thumbup:

Ah, yeah the app doesn't have a 'select all' feature. I suppose the app is designed to cater to users who keep more e-mail than delete.
You can long press on one email then select many.... It will highlight all and you can then delete several at a time.
