Hello everyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this situation. The very annoying bug I have is that the browser is often in full screen mode. I am referring to the stock browser. I'm on the latest UBDM3 rom from Samsung. Rooted with custom recovery but it did this before I installed the recovery.
I'm not sure if I remember having this bug before on previous builds. But my suspicion is that I didn't.
I can get the notification bar to show up and stay if I go into the browser settings and toggle full screen on then off in labs. But it will eventually go back to full screen again.
Yeah I noticed that buy in chrome.
It used to go into full screen on it's own.

I haven't noticed it in Chrome myself but I also haven't used chrome in a while. I prefer the stock browser for those quick controls. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed or care about this. I think it's annoying not being able to access the notification bar unless you swipe and eventually bring it down.

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?
That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.
it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.
One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?
I have 2 main questions:
First is there anyway to change the default dialer? I have had HTC for quite a while and I like that dialer a lot. Dialer One is close enough, but I cant find how to get it to be the default dialer. I dont want to see the crappy samsung one ever again...
Second. when going into the browser, my screen brightness always dims. if i go into settings it brightens up again (cant find a setting for this). is there anyway to stop this? it makes browsing very annoying and hard to read.
I have rooted my phone, and am not opposed to using another ROM, just havent flashed one yet.
Thanks,
Go to browser
Hit menu
Hit brightness and colors
Play around

I go to my browser, select menu and I do not get a choice for brightness. Power saving is off. I can't find any option to change the brightness of the browser. See attached pic.
Are you on LG8 software? Because if so, it made the browser work off the phone's brightness. If you're not, (not trying to be a ****, just need to make sure) did you try scrolling down?
yup browser menu scrolls

I installed the latest LJ7 rom, and I've come across an issue where the screen does a pinch to zoom if I run my finger up or down on the left or right side of the screen.
This affects the stock browser and most other browsers except chrome. Gallery and other apps are not affected.
Anyone know how to turn this off? I looked at the stock browser's settings and did not find anything.

It's been like that in the last 4 JB leaks. It's an invisible zoom bar, really annoying.

I have tested gmail and chrome and neither of them do this.
Do you know any solutions to this annoying problem? Its impossible to watch full screen flash videos with stock browser. Screen turns off automatically. i tried turning on/off smart stay, no difference whatsoever. I even installed 3 different versions of flash player, cleaned the browser cache ,nothing. What the hell is this? I am so sick of this stupid bugs.
do you know a way to fix it? and no I don't wanna use other browsers.

Smart Stay works for me when watching on the actual device. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

No, smart stay works when the room is lit but I like to watch videos in bed which makes it impossible because smart stay doesnt work in dark.

Ya could try to find an app in the play store that overrides the screen timeout settings? I dont think its a glitch i think its just how this phone is

I just want to open browser and be able to watch damn videos. Why do I need to install screen timeout apps and click it everytime I need to wqtch something. How convenient is this?

Yeah , it's annoying.
But I guess Android Jellybean system files dont support adobe flash out of box so maybe tweaking system files for screen time to support flashplayer is needed.

Try Screeble, best App to keep screen on while in use, by using screen orientation / gyroscope/apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.lite
Highly recommend!

Search for "Screen On" on Google Play. Free app, no ads. Tick the stock Internet browser and enable the service within the app (disable the annoying icon in the notifications bar within the settings). Voila, issue resolved.

Thanks a lot for that, works great
I am using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 with Wicked v5.1 Rom, and I have consistently experienced an issue with the updated YouTube app. Every time I watch a video in landscape mode and then turn it into portrait mode, a black bar appears between the status bar and the YouTube search bar. The bar doesn't go away even in landscape mode. The only way to make it go away is to exit the app, but the black bar always comes back. It really is quite annoying. I know that others have the same issue as I do because of what I have read on the Internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really hope that Google fixes this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I love the new UI.
But is it the latest version?

As of yesterday when it was released.
I've noticed similar problem with this version as well. You can see it on top of the title/menu bar.

I should mention that I've tried other roms like GE and they don't have that problem. I think it's TW related.
Here is the before and after the portrait/landscape/portrait turns.

Both old and new versions have the same fck bug. Its ridiculous. A version before those 2 was fine....
I am on infamous roms and when in landscape mode I can't even view the seek/status bar! I have to go to portrait making it smaller then tap the vid box again to see how far through a vid I am or seek back and forth... I read one other review on Google apps play market so I know it's not just my rom, but there must be something up with the gs3 not letting me view this bar all the time.
