M8 touch screen issue/question - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I'm either in tapatalk of a forum in chrome when I scroll the screen lags at first then jumps to catch up. But it scrolls fine it's just when I first start to scroll. But it didn't happen on regular websites. Had anyone else had this happen? Is there a fix? Thanks

Tapatalk is slow. That initial stutter is there on all phones. It is only for XDA that I use Tapatalk as I need to keep track of various devices and it is easier with Tapatalk. For most other forums, I simply use browser and mobile version of the forum /site. Content loading, scrolling is not as quick as it should be in Tapatalk. It is only because of the features Tapatalk offers that makes it a valuable tool.

Browser doesn't auto flow text

When using the browser and I pinch to zoom in the text does not auto flow, does anyone else get this or know how to fix it?

are you referring to text wrapping?
Yeah that's right doesn't wrap the text. I was wondering if it might be something to do with changes Orange make to their ROMs

I have noticed that pinch to zoom, no wrap of text, double tap to zoom, wrap.
This is my first Android phone so I am not sure if this right or wrong?

Is your Desire generic or is it branded to a network?

My Desire is on Orange. Could this be an issue?
Not sure, but I am thinking it could be something they've done to customise the ROM that's broken it.
Going to try and flashing a generic ROM and see where that gets me.

Pinch to zoom works fine here, T-mobile branded
On T-mobile, that works on and off for me, but more so than not.

I think some webpages are coded in a way that doesn't play nice with the reflowing, but as a general rule its excellent.
Works fine for me on unbranded, as long as the page has finished loading.
It is something broken in the Orange ROM, just flashed mine to the generic one and it works fine now
I can confirm that I've seen this behaviour on a friend's Orange branded Desire (french orange).
Auto flowing only happens when he uses double tap but not with the pinch to zoom.
GG orange !
I've also noticed this on my Orange phone.
Ditto. Very annoying.
Works fine for me on a Vodafone firmware. However I notice sometimes that when it auto flows it stops in a position with the text just a little bit off the right of the screen sometimes, and I have to manually move left to center it on the screen again.
Does this happen for anyone else? It's not all the time only occasionally but I've not managed to figure out what seems to be causing it; perhaps its to do with the particular website but not sure.
I think its a problem with Orange only, just bought a black version desire have the same issue. Fools at orange love screwing their customers. Glad I left orange.
I have this problem when viewing listings on the eBay uk website but not on any other site funnily enough.

Graphical glitches in browser

Has anyone else spotted graphical glitches in the address bar when pages are loading. The letters disappear and are replaced with a garbled mixture of green and black pixels at the left of the screen.
Difficult to capture unfortunately

My device does similar but with a few white pixels and is on anything that is using the GPU, so basically everything lol. Might be your phone as I haven't found anyone with my issue

Are you sending yours back

Yeah I've had this on the stock browser, the words go all distorted for a few seconds. I guess its a bug within the internet app as its only happened on the browser for me.

As long as its not just me, I feel a bit more comfortable. Doesn't bother me I would just be worried that it is indicative of an underlying graphics problem

I get the exact same thing...more of a visual nuisance than anything else really...I don't let that bother me as much as the fact that WiFi at home stops working randomly with full bars and connection status showing as Good...

Happened to me a couple of times. Only happens with stock browser. I use chrome so not a big issue.
indeed, why not try a different browser like Dolphin HD or Chrome? Dolphin has some serious speed improvements in its current beta, and thus soon in its official update. Video comparison: http://lifehacker.com/5919626/dolphin-browser-gets-even-faster-is-still-the-best-browser-on-android

Browser edge zooming

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.

Edge zoom

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?
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
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:

Why is the screen smaller than for instance Nexus 5X?

I am coming from a Nexus 5X device and just wondering about something. It seems that the display on my HTC 10 is conceived as smaller than my previous Nexus 5X despite the fact that the resolution is larger on the HTC 10, why is that? What am I missing?
I have a webpage I go to that has a table. On my Nexus 5X when I rotate to landscape, the table shows as as a whole table (with all the coloums in one row). But on the HTC 10 I get the same look on the table in landscape as in portrait, i.e. one column pr row.

So what you're saying is that this is just how it is? No workarounds?

What browser are you using, I don't have that issue, its scales just fine in landscape using Chrome and CM Browser.
I have tried 3 different browsers but the problem isn't scaling but that the server/client chooses "wrong" view in the responsive CSS...

what's the website?
I just tried Craigslist main page. It scales large in landscape and im able to pinch to see entire page( minus scrolling)
I just don't see what's the difference between this phone and my old Nexus 5X, if anything it should be there other way around.. The site is bane.kappif.no

I think the screen is bigger than my 5x because of no softkeys taking up room in screen.
Much Better i think
