(Q) XDA App Issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I switched from Tapatalk to the xda app because Tapatalk has problems running when my signal drops and doesn't like my wifi at work, but I have 2 small issues with xda over Tapatalk.
First I set my default to open to first post in a thread, but every time I open the app it reverts back to opening the last post. It's extremely annoying to have to scroll to the top and hit the page arrow of every thread. If I remember correctly Tapatalk would remember where I left off in any particular thread and go back to that point. Has anyone else (who uses xda) noticed this and/or fixed it?
Secondly the screenies in xda open up to a much smaller size forcing you to pinch zoom, which leaves the pic unreadable. I don't recall having this problem with Tapatalk as I remember it would open screenies in a larger pic.
Two minor issues that i would love to see a fix but not enough to make me go back to Tapatalk which wouldn't load most of the time.

Its always a guessing game what page you will be on when you first open a thread. Only thing I can tell you is there's arrows on the bottom of the page too.
As far as screenshots....it has to do (just a guess here) with how they are uploaded. It is irritating at times and the only thing I can tell you is to hit settings and open in web mode for those hard to see screenies.
Good luck.

Trick: elastic scroll through homescreen1-7 fast!!

Instead of the swiping through homescreens 1-7
To do this faster take your thumb on any homescreen your on ,doesnt matter!!And find the # screen you are on.... longpress it and move thumb up half inch then left to right it allows you to Super Swipe to any screen faster.

Thumb keyboard problems.

I love this keyboard because of the auto correct feature and the amount of options you can choose. For some reason while I'm typing sometimes it will do double letters and it's at random. Sometimes it will look like this "HHey what aree you doing?" Am I the only one with this issue. Using it on my completely stock AT&T galaxy s3.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I haven't experienced that issue but it will ocasionally say I hit a letter than I didnt
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
It's my favourite keyboard, I use it every day in the past 10 months or so, didn't have this problem either. (Used it on atrix, vivid and hox). Maybe the screen is a little too sensitive?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
There is no way of adjusting the sensitivity of the screen from my understanding. I just am curious if I'm the only one to have this problem or if someone else has experienced it at all doing the same thing. I don't know I'll try not typing so light and see if that makes a difference. If someone has had this problem and they fixed it please let me know how.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Has anyone seen if maybe it's the speed at which you're typing. If I type slow its not so bad. If I start typing faster it starts putting the double letters. Just trying to figure this out. Thanks for the information in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I have the same issue. I type pretty fast and it always has that double letter issue and even sometimes has double words even though I only enter it once. I decided to stick with the stock ics keyboard from the play store which works great without any typos with my quick typing

I definitely have this issue, and am using 4.6.00.147 version of the app (the most recent I believe) as I don't see any update in the Play Store. I love this keyboard, but this part of it is very frustrating. So much to the point that I went back to the stock AOSP keyboard, but I want this to be fixed.
EDITED: I've reached out to the developer to see if there is any idea on what's causing/how to fix. I will post any updates if I get any that are constructive.

Is there a way to wrap text during Web browsing?

Whenever I'm reading a long text in paragraph format or something on the Web, if I double tap the text it just zooms in, I remember on my old phones the text would automatically adjust in size and wrap so I wouldn't have to keep side scrolling. Any way to enable this on the note 2? Thanks

I wondered the same thing very annoying when browsing. I thought all android phones did it however ive only owned HTC phones for the past 7 years so guess its an HTC thing. Is there an app or something that will enable this feature? Sure is nice when you double tap and the web page resizes so you can read it all and dont have to squint to see the text..
Pretty sure just normal double taps and pinch to zoom are all you got on non htc phones

I'm 100% sure this isn't what the OP is wanting. HTC had text reflow no matter what level of zoom you did on a webpage. Non-HTC phones don't. This setting you are referring to in browser options has never made any difference on my Nexus or my Note 2. All the sites I use already display to fit the screen. I've tested it and I can't see a site where it actually shows the intended effect. Do you have a website example?

My apologies, yes while in browser press menu then scroll down to settings. I hope this is what your looking for.

maybe theres a third party browser thatll emulate this function?
I never found a solution to this problem months ago. When I got my Galaxy Nexus after owning a hero, evo, and Evo 3D... I thought this was a huge problem but I learned to live with it and now I don't think about it

Thanks for this. This helps but as others have said with HTC devices you can zoom in at any distance and it will automatically adjust and wrap the text for you, not just one size in the auto fit.

Dolphin browser works perfect for me does the auto adjust just fine.
I have been using Chrome and it is great on the Note 2.

The thing is. ..All these browsers are fine. I personally prefer the stock browser, but none of them do what the OP asked. Because. .. as has been said, that was an htc feature.

Dolphin Browser does do what the OP asked for. That's why I replied to his post.
Respectfully disagree since I tried Dolphin mini and the regular Dolphin and neither did what he asked. Maybe I'm wrong. The op isn't looking for Auto fitting of text to the initial page. While that may be a good alternative, he wants text reflow no matter what level of zoom, continuously. That is an htc thing

That's what I thought he was asking and that's how Dolphin is working for me. Under 'settings' / 'Web Content', I have 'Auto-fit Pages' turned on and it reflows the text as I zoom in and out. I also have my 'User Agent' set to desktop but I'm not sure that matters. It works for me.
(I just tried it to make sure I'm not crazy and it works perfectly. It will reflow the text to fit my screen regardless of zoom level.)

that definitely looks right. Does that work on the normal xda site? That's what I tried and didn't work for me. That's the site I always use to test..Regular dolphin or mini?
Update: Dude I want that feature back.. I've tried your setting and every setting imaginable on all 3 Dolphin browsers.. I've tried Google...xda...mlbtraderumors.com.. nothing works for me...pm me so we don't bore everyone to death.. am I the only one that can't get this working on Dolphin?

Very slow "quick glance" functionality

I just discovered the Quick Glance function where you wave your hand over an off screen and the screen turns on to show you some notifications.
I love it.
Only problem is that it's super slow on my phone. Average screen on time is about 5 seconds so it's much easier and faster to just hit a button to turn on the phone.
Is this function slow on everyone's phone? I am using apex launcher and swift key if it matters.

I've noticed it can be reasonably responsive after a reboot. But right now at my desk, its taking about 2 seconds to come on.
Mine takes several seconds too. I turned it off for that reason plus it uses the proximity sensor at all times. Go into a dark room and look at the phone, you'll notice a dull red glow from the prox sensor. I didn't like what that must be doing to my battery especially since the sensors don't show up in the battery stats so that you can see exactly how much it's using.
Yep, it's really slow for me too. Half the time I wonder if I swiped the sensor properly or not. Turned it off.

Slow for me as well.....also worried about what its going to do for battery life too.

I see the same battery life with it on or off. 5-6 hours screen on time depending on what I'm doing and what's running in the back ground. And yes mine takes 2 seconds to come on too which doesn't bother me at all.

Maybe you not waving your hand right. I know that sound stupid but after a while playing with it when I first got the phone it took a while for me to learn how to actually get it to work, you wave your hand a distance away from the screen. If you do it to close it won't come on.

It is. But I like the lil cool factor it has when people see me use it as opposed to the home button. When I use home button I get Samsung is trying to get as similar to Apple as possible. But I do like the home button lol

My quick glance also gets slower after a while, but once I restart the phone, it becomes quite fast again (within 1 second).
