Bottom softbar blocking java apps

For some reason, and this is only after I upgraded to kavana's 6.1 ROM, a few java apps are being cut off by the bottom bar. The first two I've noticed so far as jmIRC and Virca. The text is cut off by the bottom softbar and is not visable until other people (or yourself) types about 4 more lines of text. This is really annoying and makes the app pretty much unusable since you can't see what people are typing until other people start typing things as well. I'll see if I can upload a screenshot from my phone sometime today.

I have a similar issue with the GMail application. When I try to use the options, the bottom softbar blocks the pop up windows for commands, and I'm unable to use it properly.

Here is the picture of my screen when trying to use the app. There is probably 3 or 4 more lines of text that you cannot see for the bottom bar.

I noticed you were using that crappy irc client, i reccomend zsIrc, google it and get the zip not the cab, as the cab won't install, also its for ppc so ya can't set anything up in the menus, but there is a .ini file that is fairly simple to edit and set up all your settings..
good luck.

Desktop Mode Broswer

Anybody having trouble with getting there browsers to act in a true Desktop Browser mode? I have Dolphin set to Desktop Mode, but when I try to launch a lot of sites or use Chrome to Phone they show up in mobile (m.www.). I was curious if anybody else is having this issue, because back on my OG EVO, I did not encounter this. I find myself HAVING to use Chrome browser and then hitting menu, request desktop website, in order to launch the page, if applicable.
Additionally, if anybody is rooted and running any ROMs where this is not the case please include this in your response as I am going to root and ROM eventually. This is just odd as I switch to the newest and greatest phone, but some primitive stuff doesn't work as well as "archaic tech"... archaic is a joke, I still love the EVO!
Thanks,

Using the desktop setting in Dolphin works for me. Went to Facebook desktop site and my local news, both came up as the desktop sites.
I am rooted and running blazer 1.7. But I wouldn't think that'd make a difference.

Try sending engadget.com on your pc via Chrome to Phone and see if the mobile site pops up in Dolphin please. I can load full desktop sites from my phone sometimes. I go to a website called entensity.net and on the Evo it would load right to the site, but on a mobile phone it loads to a porn site for advertisement and I can't get around that unless I use chrome and then hit settings and tell it to load desktop site. On the Evo Dolphin would skip right past the advertisement site as though it was a desktop. I don't think rooting should affect it either, but I just don't know.

[APP][2/5/2013]ShowTabTip: a workaround to resolve touch keyboard issues

Some users used to have problems with text forms (with touchscreen too), the touch keyboard didn't appear and it's very annoying to open osk or the touch panel manually
This tool is very tiny (<900KB) and run in background, only an icon in notification area will be show
This tool check a clicked/tapped textbox and opens the touch keyboard
This is the first version, so sometimes it might not function, biu I've tested with a lot of user, so iThink that it functions correctly
Sorry for bad english
Waiting for feedback!

Does not work on Acer W700, Windows 8 x64. Additional components are required?

As I writed before, this is the first version and sometimes the keyboard did't appear, butI don't know why and I'm trying to find a solution
This app don't require anything other as far I know...

Is this based on an autohotkey script?

Yes, and the script is based on a script that i found on ahk forum here: http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/89058-help-converting-autoit-script-to-ahk/ with some edits to make it smarter

This does not work... have tested on Dell Latitude 10 x86... icon appears in taskbar, but I click the address pane in internet explorer and nothing happens, still have to open keyboard manually.. Its a shame because that is something that really pisses me off about Windows 8 and I hate using metro mode all the time because apps only run full screen..

How to open Apps menu?

Take for eg FB and Dolphin browser.
On my M7, there were 3 dot menu button to open settings for both of them... Here on FB there is a way, Yes, but not that simple.... And for Dolphin, couldn't open settings.... Any suggestions please.

Facebook = Press the 3 horizontal lines, then scroll to bottom and select "App Settings". Only way to do it, blame Facebook for not including a easier menu.
Dolphin = Use Chrome.

So, the phone doesn't have a menu button?
Dolphin is the best browser I have ever tried on android, wouldn't change to Chrome
To change the wallpaper in Whatsapp you need to open a conversation and then press the menu button to display the option and choose "wallpaper", how do you do that then?
Edit: I was reading an article and I found this:
"Google Now can be accessed just as on Nexus and Motorola devices, and extra buttons like "Menu" can easily be tacked onto the bar by apps."
I don't have the phone yet (I just bought it yesterday and I'm waiting for the delivery) so I'm not sure what that means, but once I get the phone I'll check

If the app doesn't meet android guidelines, an extra button will be added to the bottom:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Quite a cool solution to be honest.

Dolphin - just hold down on the round dolphin symbol that appears on the browser, lower-left corner.......it will give you a few more round things, the one on the right will be the settings, hit that then exit.
Best Browser.

Thanks @ycats... I like Dolphin, better than chrome...

Question Fold³ and Samsung Internet.

Hi All.
Has anyone using the Samsung Internet Browser managed to set the url Browser to be at the bottom of the page on their Fold³ ?
I'm also looking to move the Samsung Internet Browser menu tabs that show after the url bar to the bottom if it's possible.
I've seen the guide saying on the Samsung Internet Browser go into Settings, Layout and Menu and the option to move the url to the bottom is there. This is missing on my version.
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-m...ternet-browser
My Samsung Internet Browser is version 16.0.6.23
I've also checked out the Samsung Internet Browser Beta and it's not there either.

You need to use Samsung internet Beta which you can find on the Play Store

It appears the browser url will only show at the bottom on the outer screen and not the inner screen on the Fold ³
I've sent some feedback to Samsung via the Members app.

i removed the Samsung internet Bloatware and use Chrome dev or chrome beta as my favorite browser

I actually moved from chrome to samsung internet. For galaxy phones it works well.

Just FYI the font color you've chosen does not have good contrast if the page is set to dark. See below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thank you for your observation 94b20gsr
I haven't changed anything apart from chosen Dark Mode on the phone and in the Google options at the bottom of it's pages.
The post looks fine on my Fold³.
May I ask what you advise?

Update.
It appears the url Browser will only move to the bottom of the screen on the outer screen and not the inner screen !
