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

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.

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've been a little disappointed by the camera quality out of the box. The pictures aren't bad but I was expecting more after hearing about how great the camera is. Are you guys using the stock settings or are there things I can tweak to improve quality?
Also, I have problem when sharing a photo via Gmail. I take a picture in portrait mode but it sends it in landscape.
I have downloaded and am using the DSLR Camera app from Samsung Apps and have been getting great results.

How do you get that?
It is available from the Samsung apps. If you registered your phone with Samsung, you have access to apps that are apparently free for those with Samsung phones. You can find it here: http://samsungapps.com/

Did you view the pics in your Gmail account? Or did you download them and view them in your photo viewer? Maybe the landscape orientation is the only way Gmail allows you view the pic. Could be that it's a problem with Gmail and not my S3 but I'm trying to remember if it did the same thing with pics sent from my Evo 3D. I don't think it did.
Sent them to my wife's yahoo email account and just viewed them from there.
So I just took a picture in portrait mode and sent it to my Yahoo address. When I view it in Yahoo, it's correctly in portrait mode so I guess it's a Gmail issue.

Just got my Note2 yesterday and I'm still using the stock one for now. I'm trying to turn my GN2 into a Nexus, so I'm looking for an SMS app that is as close to the Vanilla Android SMS as possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

ChompSMS, I love how it renders picture messaging to full screen. Opposed to the stock which looks more like a thumbnail. GOSMS was to convoluted with options/themes for my liking.

Go SMS, been using them forever. You can send pictures, but sometimes I have problems with that. Only since I rooted my phones though. It gives me an error message, something along the lines of exceeding my file size limit. I just used the stock messenger to send mms/pictures.

I am very happy with stock... first time I've ever been able to say that. Prior to that, I used GoSMS and Handsent on all of my other devices. I forgot which one of the two I settled on. I want to say GoSMS was the better of the two IMO.
GoSMS here for years and I've been happy with it.

If you look hard enough in the settings you can change the max size to send and stop it from shrinking your pictures. But like I said before if you see d through go SMS and the received doesn't have go it comes up as a link

In sound options theres a setting for vibration intensity and pattern also on the contacts app theres options for making vibrations specifically for a contact. I think there might be a limited amount though.

It doesn't. I think it's from an older version of AOKP. I'm not really sure where it's from. I found it in the themes and mods section under a similar thread.
Edit: I'm using the APK from here and then follow the instructions here
And this recently up in Themes/Mod sections might help

I don't like the vibrate options because when selecting vibrate in the SMS app, it vibrates in sound mode and vibrate mode. I only want it to vibrate in vibrate mode like my GS3 did on ICS.
For those using Go SMS, can you confirm if Go SMS sends you push ads in your messages? When I tried Go SMS I got a spam sms from them.

The tab feature separates your email into different sections. Like primary, social, etc. To configure it go to the desktop version and once logged in to Gmail click on tje little gear at tje top right and click on configure inbox. This is where u can select what tabs are used or you can deselect them all and just keep it like it used to be. It is basically a way to organize your email by categories. Hope that helps.

I don't know how you guys never poke around an apps settings (first thing i always do). They didn't take away any feature. If you look in settings you'd see it and turn it on. Don't know why it's off by default, but it's there.
Are there any themers here that can possibly invert this?

Wouldn't it auto update anyway? Why you hate hangouts? Its pretty much everything talk was plus tons more...
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
I was able to find the Talk Apk. Auto-update is easily preventable by setting it not to do so.
Talk is far, far more visually appealing and navigable. When chatting with someone, I find it impossible to side swipe to the user list screen for some reason. Hangouts is just another example of trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. What is the "tons" more you refer to? It still hasn't merged SMS, which would actually have been useful.
I bet you like the new Maps too and the loss of layer functionality?

Perhaps to you. I do like the new maps it seems to lock quicker. No need for the attitude... I find the navigation much easier with the swiping and I love the look of the application. Its far easier to add people from your contacts as well as the different levels of navigation within the application. Love how easy it is overall versus talk. The new maps application lost a feature I don't use... Not saying its alright for all but your attitude sucks...

I just checked and I still think they need to improve on that. I'd like it if they showed the online status in the opened hangouts window instead of just the new hangouts window.
If they did that then it's worth switching to, but as it stands, talk is still superior in online chat in my opinion.

Yep, that's what I did on my N7 (2013). However, I backed it up first just in case and THEN delete it.
One thing I hate about Hangout is that BY DEFAULT, ALL conversation are recorded. I can disable this, but only per conversation instead of the default option. So I have to disable this for EVERY single chat windows, both old and new ones.
Hangouts irritated the hell out of me as well. After using Talk for a couple of years, the update to Hangouts drove me straight to WhatsApp.

Hangout is a bit quirky, as I've yet to figure out how to send an SMS directly through the app, but it's much more feature packed than Talk I think.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I basically have to go into my Contacts and just choose to send a message. There's got to be a way to do it through Hangout itself though, right?
Havent been on XDA for a while, but I searched for an updated stock messaging app thats been edited to remove the contact photos from every line in a text conversation and havent found anything yet. Just wanted to see if anyone uses another stock version that has the quick reply popup and also sends/receives pictures or if there is another app from the Play store that doesnt eat battery.
