I have installed a couple more keyboards i.e. Verizon 2.1 with voice input and also swype, but each time i select these i lose the ability to pinch to zoom.
Works ok if i revert back to the stock keyboard, anyone else seen this and have a solution for it ?
thanks

Pinch to zoom seems to be working again now and not done nothing since posting here, very strange.
Does it work once restarted? As in switch phone off then back on?
nope does the same even if this phone is restarted.

I've been having problems with pinch to zoom too, but i had no idea it was linked to the keyboard. Both seem to work perfectly fine usually, but after heavy use i notice pinch to zoom stops working, but is OK after a reboot. Would love to get a fix for this.
I've installed the voice to text with the Verizon keyboard download, and although pinch-to-zoom works most of the time, it occasionally scatters the small home screens to the edges of the screen, and I have to press the home buttone to reset them. But it still works 99% of the time.
Sweet works fine for me, deffo prefer htc keys for typing though. its auto correction is great
Hey guys,
I was having this problem but I figured it out.
Go into the browser, change to the third party browser, exit the browser and restart the phone.
Then pinch zoom works..
you can swap back and forth from the default and the third party one again with pinch zoom enabled.

Verizon 2.1 is considered warez, you shouldnt post it
and regarding the issue, ... does it happen on ALL pinch to zoom applications? i.e. home screen, .. browser, ... galllery ... etc ? or just the browser when using swype? .. what if you used swype in messaging and then sent a message and closed the messaging application, does the pinch gets effected?
I am using swift and I have also used swype beta. Pinch to zoom has never been an issue for me at all. My friend has had this issue thought and he just restarts his desire and then it works again.

Hi,
by now we all know that we aint getting any multitouch, but the necessity of multitouch still remains. If you are using default browser/skyfire then you have to find a spot in the website to click (where there are no links), then the Zoom In/Out comes up. If you are using Opera, then if you double tap it zooms out to a default value (nope, you cant change the zoom out level).
Both of the above methods are not that great. I was wondering if it is possible to make an app that would use the volume button to zoom in/out. So when you are in browser or map or pic viewer, you press the volume button, it zooms in/out.
I think this app would be awesome
The only problem is I dont know how to make it
So can any dev work on this PLEASE. I am pretty sure lot of us and also people with other phones could use this app.
Thanks in advance
Bikram
PS: Non devs pls back me up in this (might bring some attn)
I'd be interested in an app like that.
EDIT: Not a dev, but I see a problem with that...wouldn't that mean an entire browser needs to be made? (Unless SkyFire or Opera made an update for their browsers)
EDIT2: Another thought, do any of the Android browsers support add-ons? I'm going to figure this out tomorrow
it could be possible though you need the source code of one of the apps weather it be skyfire or opera.
I think the devs have the source code for the default browser. Right??
Hi,
there are APIs for Creating Browsers (its not very hard actually) but i dont know if the same APIs allow adjusting of zoom level, if so, the second question is if we can get the events of the Volume buttons.
Lets see
I am not sure what you are talking about, but I am sure there are API's for volume. Even if not then we might be able to find it in the decrypted ROM.
What im saying is that i dont know if it is possible to block Volume Adjusting and instead use it for Zooming.
My guess is yes though.

dolphin browser uses the volume buttons to scroll..

that works perfectly well..

Too many people are working on the root after the root is done there are free resources to do that. I had that idea too, think it would be great :-D

Mod edit: not dev related, moved to general
so I don't like or want to use any of the available browsers, the stock one with tweaks works for me. except one thing....when using forums, which is probably 90% of my browsing, is using several different forum boards.
when you try to create a new three, reply to an existing one, etc. when the keyboard pops up it moves your active text up out of sight. its hard to use it for this when you can't see what you typed, especially with autocoerect turned on it makes posting in forums rather difficult.
is there any fix?
This belongs in general.

Its not the stock browser causing the issue. I gave the same problem with dolphin Hd. I found it works fine when you use it in portrait mode. Landscape isn't useable. I'm running super clean 2.4 btw

x2...happens even in portrait mode for me. Figured they'd find away to leave the screen centered on the cursor.
Hi,
I am having a problem with predictive text in the stock email app.
It works fine using the Samsung keyboard with X9 on, but with any 3rd party app (Gingerbread keyboard in my case) it doesn't work. Well, it works on the subject header but not the body text. Very annoying (I have attached some images)
I have tried using Swiftkey (including X beta) and neither work. All other apps are fine - messaging, What's App, & Gmail.
I have re-booted but still nothing.
BTW - Not rooted, running Go Launcher EX on KE7 kernel.
Anyone else having this problem?
Yes, this problem is very annoying.

Ah, ok. Must have missed that forum. Cheers.
Hi guys,
I have the setting enabled that is meant to reflow text on webpages like my old Desire HD, but I see no difference, it still requires painful finger panning left and right to read a website.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

It reflows only when double tapping.
There was something in the forum somewhere - I think if you look in something like SGS2 tips or something... I'm pretty sure the thread had the word 'easteregg' in it, so search that...
Ok, actually looking for this myself...

Use opera mobile browser free from the market. Even better than HTC's browser IMO. Auto - text reflow works extremely well!
I agree that opera's reflow is top notch. I also love the browser for its silky smooth performance, but it drives me nuts that it doesn't use the standard android user agent. So pages specifically designed for android (and there are a lot of these) just show up in a generic mobile format and don't look as good.
Opera's agent can be changed in opera:config page. I used it a lot, but now I'm back at stock browser, as Opera can't display some sites I use properly.
And yeah, trick is to doubleclick on paragraph to fit it. Pinch zoom just zooms. Imho it's good combination.
I've tried on my SGS2 to pinch-zoom and double-tap to reflow. No luck. It works on my SGS1 running Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock, but no luck on the SGS2. It just zooms in or out when I double tap the text.

Go into the browser settings, select 'Auto-Fit' and then double tap on a webpage to have the browser zoom and reflow to a readable size.
Regards.
Opera mobile's text relow is really good, just zooming activates it without needing to double tap

Sure, and change the zoomfactor by pinch and zoom a little and what happens? Correct, nothing, even with autofit enabled.
The stock browser does NOT auto-reflow. It only has two (fixed) zoomlevels with text reflow. Rather useless.
Yes I think this counts as a Samsung Bug. After the double press to fully zoom in, then try pinch zoom out -- you get text reflow -- but try pinch zoom in -- no text reflow -- useless.
Text reflow on pinch zoom in has always worked on all HTC phones. I presume this works on Stock Android (nexus phones).
This does not work on the s1 ether. Oh dear, why does Samsung break really good features. They have also broken fullscreen flash video which always shows the status bar. But never shows on HTC phones.
How can we get this bug officially reported to Samsung?
I'm from 3 HTC phones as well and I'm missing this feature.
My solution: Set Dolphin browser as default
Nope the dolphin browser does not do it either, just reflow on zoom out only. (I think it uses the same engine as stock)
I refer to the kind of reflow you're talking about as 'dynamic reflow', where the text reflows with pinch zooming to whatever level you like, because that differentiates it clearly from double-tap to zoom and reflow to one zoom level (the only behaviour in the stock browser). I only point that out because it might help stop some of these "no it doesn't reflow", "yes, it does reflow - enable autofit" arguments.
I use Opera because it supports dynamic reflow, so I'd suggesting using that.
This whole thread is about 'dynamic reflow'.
WHY has Samsung disabled 'dynamic reflow' on the stock browser when it works just fine on HTC phones. Presumably this is a standard Android feature.
How do report this bug to Samsung? Common guys lets get Samsung to fix this in thier next release.
Old news ...
I think this "old" thread already covers this subject ...

This is a problem. on my sgs, i could zoom to any level and then double tap to reflow text, i was surprised when it didn't work on the sgs2. also, i agree, flash video fullscreen keeps the f'in status bar where as on the sgs it was not a problem. we need firmware fixes now!

Why the flame dude? I was responding to the OP, not going off topic disussing dynamic reflow (not auto reflow). We all know the browser doesn't offer dynamic reflow, neither does bone stock Android. It's not a killer feature, if it bothers you that much there is a plethora of third party browsers out there.
Regards.
The samsung infuse does seem to have text reflow in the browser. That's even stranger.

Problem is that you can't "zoom-in" any further and then double-tap the paragraph to make it fit with the larger size. Both my OG SGS and Atrix could do this.
Unless there is something that I'm missing here to get the stock browser to work?...
Does anyone else have this annoyance?
While scrolling up or down the browser will sometimes zoom in and out of its own accord.
Is there a fix or tweak for this please. ?.
I have tried other browsers, same problem...
It is normal. Touch wiz has edge zoom on the edge of the browser window. I and many others hate this feature with the burning passion of a thousand exploding stars. There is no fix on stock for this known to me. The only thing you can do is invision the fleas of a hundred camels all bitting the genitalia of the nimconpoop who thought this was a good idea.

It's by design and it's gone with the latest JB update (LL3).
I must be one of the few who used this... I mean, it IS an annoyance during normal use but if you pair the tablet with a BT mouse (which is extremely useful to me on some occasions) it's very useful because you can zoom in and out without touching the screen.
Anyway, it works (worked) only on the stock browser, on Chrome, Opera or any other one it doesn't (never has).
Just to clarify, this happens on me when scrolling from anywhere on the screen not just from the side? And with other browsers...
Did they deliberately go out of their way to make it twitchy?

Then you must have some other problem..
I have never used my N8000 under ICS because the day I bought it was the day they released JB for the N8000 ( :highfive: ) so I updated it as soon as I got it out the box but on the 2 versions of JB I have been running the tablet was/is almost perfect.
I recently updated to LL3 ITV (the Italian one) and then flashed through Mobile Odin Pro the CWM 6.0.2.3 (the touch version) to complete the update. The update solved the only problem I had with LJ9 which I have been running since I bought the tablet 2 months ago: the keyboard lag (and a problem in the gallery displaying high-res pics has been fixed too).
Very welcome changes are also more MultiWindow apps (and among them Youtube finally!), the return of the S-Note widget which lets you display a note on the home screen and some other minor features which can be enabled under settings.
Polaris was also updated (the update was previously shown as available in Samsung Apps but attempting to actually updating it resulted in Polaris FC'ing) and now the system OTA update check works even if the system is rooted and has a non-original recovery.
BTW, I usually do full wipes and a clean install but out of sheer lack of time this one time I have updated through Mobile Odin Pro (and have kept root). Everything runs beautifully but, again, apart from the annoying keyboard lag I really didn't have any real problem before too.
What a fantastic tablet.

Yea it still zooms in other browsers for me as well. But if its zooming away from the e6dge try a factory reset id say.
