hey i'm very new but i know what i'm talking about, so try not to flame to harshly
ok so i feel like browsers are different in every rom even tho most have the same browser i need to know which rom's browser's stay open like i don't have to reload the page if i exit and go back in, i want it to remain the same like on the iphone or palm pre
Thread Moved to General Forum as its nothing realted to Development
You just be very knowledgeable, posting in the wrong section and all.
The browsers are actually very close, just minor differences with the exception of the Hero browser. However, most of the time, you can't cross install them as each ROM is different. But, try this. Instead of hitting the "Back" button, hit the "Home" button when exiting the browser. When you do that, the Browser data should be preserved.

I notice that sometimes android will automatically refresh a web page, one situation that it happens the most is when I am browsing the internet and open a new window from my current page, after browsing the new window and closing it, the original page gets refreshed.
Is there a way to disable this? I dont want it to refresh unless I tell it to, and its really annoying.
I guess the browser simply give up previous page when you open a new window. this is a measure to save memory and increase efficiency. a simple solution is to use a third party broswer like opera mobile.
What's worse is sites that do a perma refresh on a page. The new faceook (non mobile) is an example of that. Totally unuseable with the Android browser
i hate the auto refresh crap. especially if im google reader.
Any news on this?

Except that is SHOWS you the entire page just fine for a second, then refreshes.
Extremely annoying on EDGE especially.
I have no idea how one would go about fixing this, get into the browser code I guess.
I, alas, am no developer, but I'll donate 10 bux toward a developer fixing this, lol.
Ya that auto refresh is terrible, all it does is slow everything down since i only get edge
Most annoying part of android. I hate it to an unmeasurable degree.
I hate opera, as well as any other browser I have seen so far.
I hate this crap too. If someone can hack multi-touch into the browser, surely this can be fixed.
ya come on we need this fixed

This is a caching issue. It has been discussed many times. Use the swapper script if it really is that important to you.
and "we" need to fix this? Yeah, I'm sure you're going to contribute a whole lot.
wow i'm really sorry, i know i can't do **** about it thats why i hope you guys help me i couldn't find a link with the swapper script
so if you could tell me that and how to apply it i would love you
+1 this problem also really bothers me, hopefully someone can put something together.
generic node i'm waiting fofr your help
Search the forums.
thank you so much generic node i owe you one for that
so i searched for g1 swapper script so if i just run that script the webpage won't auto refresh or what
I'm sorry in advance about this question, its answer will probably be humiliating for me
DISCLAIMER: I'm not using Dream, but instead an alpha 1.5 build for the Blackstone. I realize this could be the problem.
Anyway: I'm trying to find stuff in the Market, however, most searches end up with some hundreds of results while I can only see about 8-9 of them in the scroll pane. I can't flick scroll below that however hard I try.
Which is the "normal" way of browsing through applications from the handset, e.g. skipping to the next page of results? Is it a hardware button I don't have because of Blackstone?
Thanks.
The normal method is to just keep scrolling, it should load a bunch of other results. Then when you get to the end, it loads some more and you can just keep scrolling until you reach the last result. That's how it's supposed to work, no hardware button or pages.
Just as flobin said. Side note, if you want to just look around the Market you can use Cyrket. Find what you're looking for then just search for the name from your Market app.
Thanks, now I know it's some sort of mis-function by my build.

I'm not sure I understand your problem: Are you talking about the fact that the page continues to move around WHILE LOADING the page? Or is the page moving around even after it is done loading?
its after the page finishes loading. when you zoom in on a pargraph and start reading, suddenly the browser would shift down a couple of line.
Its annoying because you dont know what happened or how many lines were skipped and you have to manually scroll back

That's odd, I don't think I ever encountered that. What version of Opera are you using?
The OP is saying that the browser re-renders the page on a pinch-to-zoom command, thus bypassing the intended view for some reason - which happens with me as well.
My suggestion would be (from the Opera browser) going into Menu-->Settings--Display and changing the default view to Mobile which should provide a better experience for you. Keep in mind that the ability to zoom is disabled in this feature.
when you view engadget via opera, the top area where they show their most popular news continues to rotate through the possible headers.
For some reason, on opera mobile these 'headers' have different size, so as it switches, the page moves 'up' and 'down.' I'm guessing this is the same issue on espn. I'm not sure if this is opera's fault or flash lite's.
Also, the other possibility is that sometimes opera might still be loading the images, so the page would move down (but never up).
hi there, i recently bought my first android, a nexus 7 and before i started to mess with it, i noticed something cool that i been missing a lot on apple devices: when i clicked small buttons or links in the browser, it zoomed that area so it was easier to choose. SUPER COOL i thought..
ofcourse later i had to root it, change rom to PA, and all the stuff a new android newbie has to, and i didn't really see this little feature anymore, is it something i have to install again, did i loose it when changing from stock rom > PA rom? don't even know what this "feature" is called
any help appreciated

I can't get it to work all the time, but it seems to happen most often on dropdown menu links or where there's a lot of small links close together (like page number links in a long thread on XDA.) I'm still not 100% sure what activates it, but I just loaded this subforum on my Nexus 7 and touched the lag thread title/page number links and it popped up magnified. Same thing for the "Quick Links" dropdown menu at the top of the page. I clicked the menu, then tried to click "Social Groups" and the section of the list I was on became magnified. I think it only happens when there's a certain text density on the screen, because when I zoom in I eventually stop getting the magnification box, but at that point it's really easy to click individual links.

Does Paranoid android use Chrome? It probably doesn't. That very useful feature is a google chrome thing. Here is the Play Store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en
And if at any time android ask's you which browser to open, tap on chrome and tap on "Remember" or something like that.
as there is no other browser on stock on nexus 7 i assume you have been using chrome before. and this feature pops up most likely when you are not zoomed in and navigate through a site where diffrent links are very close together. just to avoid clicking the wrong link of course.
as McMichael96 said, you can just install chrome afterwards when using 4.0+ on your nexus which is quite common obviously haha.
maybe you should also check out the other browsers which are available in the market which also have their unique advantages compared to e.g. chrome.
for once there is Opera Mobile, which renders the text on pages when you zoom in to match the screen width which makes it very easy read without scrolling sideways.
for chrome, the major advantage is, if you are using chrome on other devices as well, that everything is synced.
if using e.g. opera on other devices, syncing is available as well.
there are even more browsers like firefox (which i don't like much) even though favourites and bookmarks are accessable quite nice, dolphin browser which is very popular and have a sleek userinterface, or more.
consider to give them a try... happy to hear your feedback after trying out. cheers.
Actually this is not a question, just a statement in case any people from Samsung are reading, they should get their stuff right.
What I like about Chrome browser was the way it "fits" the text of web pages in comparison with the stock browser which makes everything look so small. (Text, not photos)
So after some searching with the settings (accessibility) on the stock browser, I managed to get the same exactly text fitting on the screen, as Chrome.
The bug is this:
Every time I close the browser and re-open it, it doesnt perform the settings I've made.
If I go to the settings menu, the settings are there but not applied on the web page.
If I make a minor change and go back, they are applied.
But again, if I close the browser and re-open it, the page appears with stock settings although if I check the settings, my settings are there.
Only by making another change, it applies the rest of the settings I made.
And again the same thing... Close the browser, re-open it... Page opens with stock settings.
Get your stuff right Samsung guys.... This is your flagship mobile at the moment.
(ofcourse if anyone has a solution to this, although I've tried everything, it is VERY welcome)
A lot of people are quite unhappy with that. If I'm not wrong, it's called text reflow. Just use other browser apps. I prefer firefox. It's less buggy than chrome.
