In the webkit browser, double tap to zoom intermittently stops working. There's no rhyme or reason. I noticed that it wasn't working in the display model in the store, then was elated to discover it working on the one I bought. The other day I noticed it wasn't working again. Then it worked the next time.
I can't find a pattern. The same web page will work one minute, then not the next. A reboot of the phone does not fix it.
Does anyone know what causes this or how to resolve it? It's obviously a bug that needs to be addressed, but I'm hoping for a workaround until we get an update.
I had asked this a while back. No fix. Even using other browsers isn't reliable. I hope they fix it soon. Is the sole reason I am using my gs4 more now. I browse a lot and need this working

I noticed that Dolphin does it, too, but double tap to zoom is reliable in Chrome. I just don't like how slow Chrome renders and there's no flash support.

I just got an Optimus LG Pro, and noticed the same problem in Dolphin browser.
Is there a solution for the problem without refreshing the ROM ?

Hallo,
Is somebody using AirDroid?
The very first time I tryed it on the GN it worked all very well.
Now I was trying to put some pictures on my phone but it appears that AirDroid can't recognize my phone or something. It doesn't show the battery % for example. And when selecting "files" it just tells me "errror loading folder undefined".
Did somebody else have this?
I've been using AirDroid pretty regularly for the last week or so and I haven't had any problems with it so far with the exception of some minor connectivity issues once in awhile.

I have no idea why it stopped working.
that's what it looks like to me: http://oi42.tinypic.com/1zwkrxj.jpg
Have you tried clearing app data and/or reinstalling?
Yes, both. Still same problem.
I had the same issue with files you describe in Firefox, and it worked in Chrome. I assumed it had something to do w/ my use of NoScript, as I'll have issues with sites sometimes despite everything on the page being whitelisted, but in any case you might give that a shot if you are in fact using Firefox.

I am using Chrome as well. OP should definitely try a different browser.
Yes, I'm using Firefox. But the only addon I am using that prevends AirDroid from working could be Adblock.
I try another browser but if Firefox really is the problem I'm not going to switch.
Does anyone else still use this? Seems like since 4.2.2 that it's annoyingly broken. It sends the same notification 2-3 times.. I just sent a link to my phone.. Got it, closed the notification. Put the phone down, and a few seconds later the same notification was pushed through. I then looked on my Nexus 10 and see the same notification was pushed 3 times.. I noticed this a few times earlier this week when I used it but just shrugged it off as a bug in the system and let it sit for a few days.. I've signed in, out etc.. Still does it.
That being said.. Anyone else seeing this behavior and can anyone recommend a similar app that works just as well, low memory footprint and doesn't keep the device awake?
I use the built-in tab autosync function of Chrome, if you're logged in both your PC and Nexus 4 on Chrome. You can open tabs that are open on your PC and vice versa.

*DOH*.. Thank you! I completely and utterly forgot about the chrome tab sync that is just seamless. "other devices".. That works perfectly and one less app on the phone too!
Thank you!

Strange.. I'm definitely not going crazy though.. A quick Google search shows this has been an off again on again issue since 2010.. I'm just going to uninstall it from all my stuff and use the Chrome sync.. Just got to change my habits.

I get this notification that says it's downloading. But when I go to app info. It's from downloads instead of the Play Store. I don't know what it is. When I disable the app. Everything stops working; Play store, Chrome, Facebook, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

I didn't download anything. I noticed it on my way home. It initiated randomly. And it won't finish, or even stop. It isn't showing in the downloads either.
****edit
I found it in the downloads a couple hours after the problem started. I don't have a full solution, which sucks.

Might be it is sync ur gallery with fb photos. Uninstall app and reinstall.
I'm experiencing this exact problem, also initiated on its own. I uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook but that did not affect the perpetual downloading of this. Nor have several phone restarts, etc.
EVO 3D ICS running MeanRom
solution!!!
I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.
Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?
I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.
I'm running rooted, stock with stock kernel and my GPS signal won't get a lock. I can't use Nav or get my precise location in Maps either. I tried to reset my GPS data as well as download AGPS files, but neither proved successful. Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

Yes. Are you on 4.4.2? GPS is a known bug on 4.4.2, and 4.4.3 is supposed to fix it.

Unless they're labeled as updated or are 4.4.3, I would assume not.
just a tip, try downloading waze app and see if that fixes it!
I've had no troubles with this phone, but on my gs2 when I did I used a program from play store called "topntp" that worked wonders for getting a GPS fix.

There are no 4.4.3 ROMs from what I have looked at and if there were, none were TW, stock. Tried the app the previous post mentioned and had no luck with it. Using Waze isn't a solution to the problem, simply a workaround and I hate the UI of Waze, which is why I use Maps instead. There has to be a fix for this issue. I've ordered a replacement device in the meantime.

4.4.3 has not been released yet so there will not be any ROMs using it yet.
So what is a fix for the issue?

I don't seem to have the problem for what I use the phone for, but then I don't use navigate often. I do use one of the AGPS updater (can't recall which one at the moment) and I do get a good lock fairly quickly (under 4s).
If there really is an issue however, the fix is in the updated Android 4.4.3 release which as already stated has not yet been released. So there is no "fix".

Just sayin, it is a little better then the main apps page like live updates which includes traffice, the actual time youll get to your destination, accidents, and so on.....your probably the first one that doesnt likes waze......you did ask for a fix......i had the same issue with mine on non-rooted and rooted devices and thats the reason why i use waze, it gets the job done better then the main navi app. but it might be a faulty equipment, get it swapped but note that it will be a refurbished device
Waiting for the next update and hope it would be fixed.

All,
Have any of you new G4 owners been experiencing ridiculously slow page loading times with the stock browser? My old GS3 loads web pages much faster in Chrome by comparison, as does my work iPhone. What gives?!
Thanks in advance!
Same here. With stock chrome it's lagging when i watch a movie on website.

Have you tried a different version of chrome like the beta, or my favorite right now, Chrome Dev?
I haven't tried any other versions of chrome...did notice that I wasn't even able to load a page at all while photos were uploading, wonder it has to do more with how it's handling data traffic.

I've noticed it also happens when using the "in app" browsers in Facebook or Twitter. I've also tried increasing the memory available to chrome using by typing in by changing maximum tiles for interest area to 512 to no avail.
I'm beginning to think this may be a wifi connection issue, even tho my wifi tests faster than the 4G connection. Pages are loading much more quickly over 4G.
Yes i think this is wifi related also... Same happens to me but only on wifi

It just seems to have problems loading web pages for me. Sometimes I will just get black squares but other times it just wont load. I will refresh and get nothing for awhile. I'm doing this at home where my Note 4 wasn't having a problem. Also doing this on cellular data. I doubt this is a network issue.

I've noticed insanely slow loading times using IPv6 over WiFi with some Comcast modems, so I rooted and disabled v6. Dunno if you guys are having the same issue, but it fixed my problems. Apps like Instagram were slow to load/refresh as well, though.
