Any way to disable edge-zooming in the stock browser - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

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:

huh?

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...

This actually occurs on the stock browser as well as other third party browsers...

The new update eliminates that irritating "feature"!

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.

Pinch and zoom on stock ROM

So I've been looking around for a way to pinch and zoom on the stock messaging app on my stock ROM. I am rooted. Any help?

Pretty sure it doesn't do that, and no way around it AFAIK.

Yup, never heard of messaging app capable of doing that.
There has to be a way. My friend has the One X and she can do it stock. What I guess would work as a work around would the app, when a picture is tapped, save a temp and open in gallary. That's what the One X does.

Occasionally I will get a text that when I tap to open the image, it opens in Gallery, and allows me to do those exact same things as I could inside the Gallery app.

Is there a decent wallpaper changing app?

Something that isn't complete crap?

Wallbase for sure, doesnt get any easier/better
Do you mean wallpaper app? OR an app that changes your wallpaper every set amount of time?
Otherwise wallbase is what I use, but if I go in about 20 pages deep in wallpaper it usually force closes on me.
One that changes every few minutes or so. Sorry, I should had been more specific

Yes! Wallpapyrus is pretty decent, auto change the wallpapers from a album or flicker online even from facebook at a userdefined frequency....
I use Tasker and create time contexts to change at certain times of day. You can also set it up for specific locations.

Strange Facebook issue...

I'm on stock at&t software, i for some odd reason cannot like any status through the app. I just recently reactivated my facebook. Has this happened to anyone else?

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the App? Cleared app data? Multiple things you can do.
Yeah. Ive tried both! Im ablut to factory reset

Seems like a Facebook issue.... They've been pushing updates thru network and not the store.... Which is against TOS, so it could most likely be on the apps end.

Make sure you're using the default browser and not a 3rd party app.

Is it note3 specific? No issues on s3
Crashes a lot less on note3 but still does funky stuff other than crash. Note2 was problematic. Lots of crashes.

when i click a post it chooses one above and in order to click correct i have to click on the line at the very bottom of the post or it freezes and crashes
The XDA app always sucked (especially notifications), so I switched to Tapatalk after it went free. The only thing I don't much like about Tapatalk VS XDA is that you can't "mark all as read" for certain sections suchs all the "Participated (Unread)" threads; have to either ignore or read each one one-by-one
XDA Premium is really bad. Hard to fathom how they put that out. I use Tapatalk Pro/paid whatever and it is pretty reliable. I had to start over the app every time I switch screens on XDA. It used to work okay.
Is not only on note 3, I have nexus 10, I have a same problem all time crashes...... Ironic.... Xda crashes and no body fix it

lol same here, soo annoying. I hate to ditch the xda app but thinking about using the Tapatalk app, I also really really hate the new layout/ui of the xda app. I have an older backup of the premium app (think it's like 2.2.1 or some shizz) and have always found my way around on that version. 4.doh! and above is confusing and a headache!
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium
I guess I'm in the minority, as I use the latest XDA Premium app daily without problems, and have for over a year. The only issue I have is that sometimes when I switch to another app and then back to XDA, it relaunches the app rather than going back to whatever page I was on, and even that doesn't happen very often...

Xda has been crashing ever since I've joined xda honestly they never get it right. It's a sight by developers For Developers Yet They Can't Get It Right lol

Does it just crash randomly, or is there a specifix action that causes it to crash for you guys? I'm real curious about this now, because as I've said, I've used it on 3 different phones and dozens of ROMs and I don't think I've had it crash on me even once.
