This was a feature that I first experienced on my galaxy S2 with a custom stock rom. I didn't like it then and don't like it now. It's erratic (or my finger is) and I can't figure out how to disable it. Does anyone else have issues with this?

No idea what Edge Zoom is.. You might try and explain that a bit more.
Sorry. With a web page open, you can touch somewhere near the edge of the screen, slide your finger up or down and the page zooms in or out. I can't get it to work consistently in one spot. It's weird because I would think that if they implemented it, they would provide an option to disable it.

Is this just on the stock Samsung browser? Sounds like it.
I haven't used the stock browser in a long time. Try "Next Browser".
Found this for you though:

I always scroll from the side of the screen and now with JB, it zooms. I for one pinch to zoom... I don't need it where I scroll. Does anyone know where or how to kill this?
Thanks!

Scroll from the middle. I'm not seeing anything in settings.

I actually like it just wish I could control it. ie make it only one side or the other not both sides. its handy for one handed operation but yes like you I scroll from the SIDE (so I can keep reading) and now I can't. Grrr
Happen to me as well.. Glad to see it happening to others.. When it happened to me I thought I was going crazy

I am having the same issue, so I downloaded the google chrome browser because I was so annoyed and getting headaches..... Also NOT HAPPY with the stock Keyboard not having the mic (voice input) button on the keyboard, you have to press three different buttons to get to it, SO ANNOYING, so I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard from the App Store (which I do not understand why this phone didnt come with a Jelly Bean Keyboard..
Nm I lied

Any help with the above question would be appreciated.
I also have this issue a lot when browsing. Maybe it's just a sick browser issue?

Same here. I hate that slide zoom feature in the web browser but im sure its intended to work that way. I bet a dev could modify the browser apk to get rid of that.
I know if you stay away from the edges it won't do it. But it does get kinda annoying. I've read this was a change in JB due to the whole Apple lawsuit crap.

Well I don't know about you folks but I like it. Specially when using the phone single handed.

is there a way to set it to just one side instead of both?

Use Chrome. ..IMO far superior browsing experience. Side zoom isn't an issue

My S3 does the same thing and its really annoying. I would use Chrome but that permanent address bar is really annoying especially in landscape. Plus the stock browser is faster.
I always tended to scroll the page at the very edge of the phone so that finger oil doesn't gloss over the text I'm trying to read...lol
Cool feature. I didn't know you could do that as I've been using Chrome which is awesome IMO, but this feature alone may make me use the stock browser from time to time. I do wish that when companies added features like this they would provide an option for users to be able to enable/disable as not everyone is going to like it.
I'm on LK8 and it doesn't have the scroll edges in the stock browser.

I didn't think it had to do with a specific browser since it does it in all three I use.
Hey everyone! The one thing that's driving me crazy that I haven't figured out yet is how to disable the edge zooming in the stock browser. Had anyone figured it out yet?
Same..makes me crazy, especially with one handed browsing. I just keep trying to remind myself to push in the middle of the screen up and down.
Drives me crazy too. Help! !

Has any rom developer removed this yet?
Annoys me too. I got my note yesterday and I thought something was wrong with the note's touch sensitivity.
Just use Chrome. It's so much better and doesn't do the zoom thing.

Until Chrome can become the default embedded browser (I.e. in apps such as Pulse or Flipboard), using Chrome will only help you when browsing in Chrome and makes no difference when using an embedded browser in any other app.
when browsing a webpage in the middle to bottom right hand corner, when i go to scroll the webpage down it zooms in on the page, is this a feature? I have a ZAGG HD screen protector on the screen. Does anyone elses Note 2 do the same thing?
Yep, I guess it's a "feature", and I've had it happen in other apps as well. I hate it - I'm always hitting it by mistake. I wish someone would figure out how to make a mod to disable it!

check in the settings of the side screen.
Looks like a minor update eh...
I don't get it?
Checked Galaxy Apps and the update was there. Didn't notice anything different. Maybe it fixed the night clock sync issue?
I noticed it was a bit quicker to scroll between people edge and app edge. I'm using the 928T
Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I'm not sure but I think it adds "check missed messages/call" from your favorite contacts. I don't use the edge screen that much so not sure if that was already a feature
Has anyone else been having this issue? After the update, their is information on the apps edge on how to use it and stuff when you swipe open the Edge tab and it won't go away. This message wasn't their before..or am i just blind and haven't noticed before lol. Verizon variant here.

I noticed it also I hope they send a quick fix
This is a buggy update? Guess I'm not Gonna update this yet
The only change that I noticed so far is adding the setting button within the five contacts/apps

Think that always been there

I found removing an app from your selection and then putting it back cleared this.

Sorry guys but Eric is the only one right. I think the only change is the flip speed between slides
