[Q] stock browser question - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

when browsing a webpage in the middle to bottom right hand corner, when i go to scroll the webpage down it zooms in on the page, is this a feature? I have a ZAGG HD screen protector on the screen. Does anyone elses Note 2 do the same thing?

Yep, I guess it's a "feature", and I've had it happen in other apps as well. I hate it - I'm always hitting it by mistake. I wish someone would figure out how to make a mod to disable it!

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!
John
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?

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] Any dialers with the Contact button on the bottom right of the screen?

Any dialers with the Contact button on the bottom right of the screen?
im using exdialer right now but annoys me that my contacts button is on the bottom left (the stock dialer has top right). its a bit of a stretch for my thumb on the note 2. I searched the play store but i couldnt find one that has the contacts button on the bottom right. I would also settle for middle right.
Anyone have any suggestion other then growing longer thumbs?:good::good:
Try go contact. It has the contacts button on the 2nd from left, reasonably reachable. ..

Edge zoom

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?
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
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:
