I have just tried to activate a card via the web browser. While I could input some fields the date of birth one could not be filled in. the numbers though pressed and confirmed by the keyboard popup just did not appear in the input box. Has anyone else had this? Stock browser and home being used on stock 2.2 JPO. Would a different browser work and if so which is the best?

When you type in a new URL on your normal pc with a browser (Firefox of IE eg) he selects all the text and you can immediatly type in a new address. However, with the Tab when you click on the URL bar you always (at least I do) have to backspace the address that is shown in the bar and only after this you can type a new address. Is there a way to do this like on a normal pc?
ps. I tested it with Opera, stock browser and Dolphin and it s there with all three.
Doesnt do it with my dolphin or stock browser. When i touch the url bar, it highlights the whole thing blue so when i type, it deletes it all first.

Although I do not have Galaxy Tab (I have Galaxy S), I'm experiencing the same thing, both in Opera as well as in stock browser. I'm sure it was not so from beginning. I suspect that some app must be interfering but as till now I couldn't find which.
I'm on JK5, and I can confirm that both in stock and Dolphin, when I touch the address bar it is already highlighted, so I just need to type to delete what is there.
Regards,
Dave

For me on my Galaxy S (Froyo) it was also like this, but after some time (probably after installing some app) it stopped behaving like that. When the browser is in portrait mode everything works fine, but if I switch to landscape then after selecting address bar initially the url is highlighted, but then the keyboard appears with some delay and selection is lost and cursor placed at the end of url. I'm pretty sure it is fault of some app, but till now I couldn't confirm it. On Eclair I've never experienced anything like this, so I guess it also has something to do with Froyo too.
quicker way, don't click on the address bar, just press the search key

simple but great tip! thxz
I could be wrong but I've noticed this only happen on AT&T Tab with JK5. I didn't see this issue on Tmob tab which I no longer have so couldn't confirm.
Besides the searc tip above, anyone knows how to fix this (clicking on URL it highlights the string instead of bringing up the full keyboard)?
TIA
just noticed that the search button solution stopped working too

how so?

This is what I do and it works on all browsers: touch and hold the address bar until popup menu shows up and use "select all".
Funny thing. It only happens to me when i have my tab in landscape mode; in portrait when i select the address bar, it highlights the url, but in landscape it doesn't. Uhm?

how is pressing 1 button "not easy"?
This only happens when the device is in landscape mode. Portrait mode works just fine.

Hi guys,
I have updated my device to Gingerbread however the stock browser does not scroll all the way down. It seems to stop and then i can scroll and then stop again. Its really annoying but i cannot seem to find any setting for this. I have tried another browser and it does not do this anymore.
Also the stock browser doesnt seem to text wrap anymore.
Has anybody experienced this as well?
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks,

It's a known Bug in Samsungs Gingerbread Roms
I'm running JVO, downloaded directly from Samsung servers.
I have a complex page with several panes and 20 pictures opened on the browser. If I swipe the finger slowly up, it scrolls almost to the end, if I do it faster, it scrolls to the bottom of the page.
To have the text wrap and fit the screen width you have to activate that option on settings, by default it's inactive.
Zooming on the browser also works fine, I don't see what other people are complaining about on other threads.
its not a bug, the stock browser dose it it self,on the gingerbread roms the stock browser is morelike a IOS its dos not scroll all the way down, it scrolls 2-3 pages at one time!!! search before u make a new thread!
and about the text wraping, look into you settings.

why would you want to scroll 2-3 pages ??
if it was a feature, there would be a setting to disable it...
I have JVO as well but mine doesnt browse smoothly across the whole page.
vcespon I don't understand why yours is not doing this as well
I have 2.3.3, i9000xxjvo
Same problem here pretty annoying!
I am using the stock ICS release that was pushed to my wifi Xoom. While I love it over HC I am noticing some inconsistenies in the way the keyboard behaves across applications. For example
e-mail
This is the best, as you type the characters appear both in the email and in blue just above the keyboard suggestions for the word appear from which you can select the correct one. If you ignore suggestions and the word still isn't known it's underlined in red and if you press the word, you get a pop up list of words that it thinks it could be. You can add to the dictionary or delete the word.
Google+
No suggestions in blue above the keyboard but if you enter a word it doesn't know it's highlighted in red and once again pressing the word offers a pop up list of words with the option to choose, add to the dictionary or delete
Google Voice
Same behaviour as with email - this is good
Browser in a Javascript enabled edit form
This is very variable and was terrible in HC with lag etc.
Works fine in the XDA forum now - same behaviour as in email which is great.
But on this forum www.googletvforum.com - very laggy typing, no spell check and no popup. This BBS uses vBulletin so it might be with all vBulletin sites.
Just wondering what others have been experiencing.
Yes. And it really sucks.
The g+ app is where I notice it the most.
Pretty sure it works everywhere else for me tho.
Running EOS stingray47 with gapps 10.5.
However this was also a problem on HC. So I tend to blame the app more so than the OS.

So I have flashed the italian version of official ICS rom.
I was wondering is the stock browser can be modded to allow more tabs? and set to always request desktop site?
I have found a few mods but they are for phone ICS, not sure if they would work on tablet ICS.
any suggestions?
Edit : i flashed the deodexed, zipaligned stock 4.0.4 and modified the SecBrowser.apk to enable a maximum of 99 tabs, and some faster animations. i have attached the modified apk here for those who need it. note: only works on deodexed stock 4.0.4

one of the very first things I did:
RE "always request desktop site"
type about:debug in the broswer's address bar
go to the browser's settings
go to the "advanced" (IIRC) tab or something like that
find the voice "UAstring" (IIRC) or something like that to "desktop"
type again about:debug in the broswer's address bar
this setting stays set even after rebooting (which was not always the case in the past)
don't know where/how to change the "8 tabs max" settings but would like to!

I was referring to the stock browser. And since I don't have Chrome (a browser which doesn't reflow zoomed in text, like the stock does, is useless to me) I have no idea if it works with Chrome too, sorry.

No worries and thanks for the info!
When you say doesn't reflow zoomed in text, do you mean the fact that Chrome doesn't properly fit a page on screen when you change pages?
I have noticed that on Chrome every time I go to a new page it is zoomed in and I have to either scroll to see all text or double tap screen to get it to fit. Very annoying and I don't know if that is just a setting or a fact of life.

yep, double tapping only zooms out while in the stock browser it reflows (reformats) the text leaving the zoom level you set and making the page readable without scrolling (make sure to also check this in the settings).
frankly this is one of the most basic functions of a browser and IDK how people can live without it. until Chrome gets this elementary feature it's just worthless crap, to me.
BTW, no settings issue, it's "a fact of life" with Chrome. Can't believe so many people rave about it......
oh and, just checked and the way to change the user agent that I wrote in my earlier reply doesn't work with Chrome.
Dolphin browser + desktop toggle is what you need. I have given up on stock browsers on all my devices. Dolphin is miles ahead.

I'm not familiar with compiling/decompiling, can anybody do the modification on the browser.apk for the official ICS rom?
edit: okay, tried modifying the apk using APKTools, deleted the SecBrowser.apk and .odex, replacing them with modified one, but ended up having a missing internet icon. Looks like it is not possible to modify apk in non-deodexed stock rom.
hello guys , i would like to ask whether anyone else of you around here experiences this annoying google chrome bug with using the 'swipe integrated keyboard' i mean the keyboard that usually comes in whatever custom rom you are using.
e.g whether i use a MM custom rom like RR or a Nougat , whether the keyboard is a 'google keyboard' or a 'aosp keyboard' these still give me the same issue when i type in google chrome's tab e.g if i type a website name and i always use 'swipe' feature.
and as i swipe ,sometimes it refuses to enter the words, and i even cant delete words with the backspace on the keyboard.
it happens in the tab or in whatever website's search field i enter using swipe, and even when i dont use swipe ,the backspace key alot of times stops working until i refresh the webpage.
is anyone else having this chrome bug.. ? it has been like this for me for over a month now, and i cant use any other browser as chrome is my favourite (happened with chrome beta/canary as well iirc.)
could anyone suggest me a different browser , not uc/dolphin.
is there any other that is similar to chrome.
