I did not know this before and just wanted to share for those that did not know, but if you are browsing and hold down your thumb on a part of text that's not a link, it'll turn into a magnifying glass and also let you select text afterwards.

I went to play and video with playon and it said i needed to install Flash, which did not show up as being installed even though i could see flash in the browser. Hmmmmmm
Also where is the menu key. I only see the Back, Home and Search with a recent app keys
The settings/option button for <2.2 will show up at the end of that group in the lower left corner and the settings/options button for 3.0 apps will shows up in the top right corner.
Can you guys run xda developers website with the stock browser? Click the forum section and see it scrolls. Its really choppy.

its choppy as hell.... but this is also with an iphone 4 and the ipad 2...
switch to classic skin, this would make it better!
Not sure if this was mentioned before but I noticed that on some links, a little popup zooms the links so I am able to select a link much easier without having to pinch zoom the entire page. Just don't know how or what triggers it as I would like to use it more often, very useful feature.

You must be talking about the Chrome beta. When the links are too close together (horizontally mostly) the bubble will pop up. The feature still needs more refinement though, IMHO.
Oh is that it? I thought it was a tablet feature. It's a great feature if they can implement this throughout.
Thanks for the quick response. I've been trying to google this with no luck.

Hey,
I just ordered my nexus 7 and I'm going to use it in school to take notes, with a keyboard case.
What app should I use to take notes, where I can type and also draw things with a stylus?
Thanks

Yes I saw that thread, but I am looking for something that is not recognizing my handwriting but an app where I can type and make drawings at the same time.
Thanks for your input anyways.
Try whiteboard text app. It's for making notes, and a second screen let's you draw, and the drawing is inserted into the note.

Thanks, could you link me to the app in the play store, as there are a couple of them.
I use evernote to take notes in class. However there is an addon for it called sketch that allows you to insert drawings into notes.

I'm finding it can be difficult to copy/cut and paste on the Nexus, sometime it works and other times it just won't work, is there a specific guide I need to follow or download some app?

No.
Maybe you just have big fingers.

Cut Copy and paste works fine here.

PM me if you need help
It's ok here too. I guess you just don't have the knack to tap for a few seconds.xD
Say for example I have 2 browsers open, Maxthon and Chrome, trying to copy and paste between both of them simply will not work, and even in one browser sometimes it just will not work, other times it will, I spent 10 minutes trying to copy and paste something, I even went out of the browser and back in and it just wouldn't copy and paste, normal fingers not big fat ones lol, is there some app I could use?

But sometimes it works and other times it doesn't so I'm at a loss to explain that

How about trying a different keyboard? I use Swype. It's got all the common keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+A, except instead of Ctrl, you swype from the Swype key to the desired letter. Saves a ton of time for me.
Cheers!
Mine does the same thing and its also random. Running 4.1.2 stock and rooted.

I use SwiftKey can't see myself using anything else to be honest but I'm not talking about the keyboard as such, happened again earlier, I mostly use Maxthon browser, wanted to copy and paste a link into Facebook no matter how many times I tried it just wouldn't paste tried copy and cut but no luck, surely there has to be a way to get this working?

Is it the copy bit your having most trouble with or the paste bit? If your not on a word, it wont bring up the copy header so have you tried zooming in more so you are sure your actually on a word? Reg paste, a work around may be to paste in to a note taking app and then copy it out of there? Without seeing what your doing wrong, its very difficult to give you an answer.
Running rooted stock 4.2.1 (JOP40D) here. Stock (Android soft) keyboard, but occasionally using BT keyboard as well.
Mostly it seems to work for me, but I have experienced exactly what you said:
I would copy something from a web browser - no problem with selection mechanism, no errors when the "copy" on-screen button is touched; but when I go to the destination app, the pasted text would be from a prior "copy" operation in a completely different app. Repeating multiple times had no effect.
I don't know what causes it nor what makes it resolve.
Hi. Not sure if anyone has asked before, but does anyone able to make the drag and drop feature on multi window work on their Note 3?
It's like I tried to drag a picture from chrome to my message (in default messaging app) and it only copied the link of the webpage.

I'm not sure but i think that Chrome doesn't support this feature,
I know that Chaton and Gallery do support it,
I've managed to drag and drop pictures from the gallery to Chaton,
I didn't need to press the little blue button.
Also, i think their stock file manager supports it as well.
It works long enough in the shop to convince you to buy it.
Then you take it home to use it.
Then you find out it's a gimmick because it only works with a few SAMSUNG apps.
There are a million more people who use what'sapp & Chrome than ChatOn & the stock browser.
