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.

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,
I had gotten my HTC legend since march. However, there is a problem that is bugging me on my phone. When accessing websites such as engadget, the web page is rendered with weird orientation of the pictures as differ from the view i get on my computer. This problem also causes some images to be replaced by a small blue box. I had tried into looking for solutions on this issue but could not find any.
However, at one point of time when using Kyosa's Cyanogen mod 6 custom rom, all the web pages is displayed perfectly as one will see when surfing using a pc. I have been using this mod for approximately more than a month and this problem had appear again.
Could any experts advise me on what I should do to get my phone working perfectly.
Thanks,
Troubled user.
What about installing Dolphin Browser HD?
I have tried installing Dolphin Browser HD, Skyfire Beta and a few other browsers. None of them solve the problem.
I am pretty sure it is not a browser issue as during the period when it was working perfectly, I was using the stock browser.
A very strange thing started happening in the last few days. BTW, I am running stock 2.1, rooted, nothing much exotic done to my phone besides that.
I use the stock browser and the way YouTube videos have always been displayed is with a still image that has a "play" arrow icon in it. Once I clicked this, the YouTube app would take over and do a pretty good job playing the video. At worst, I would first be sent to the YT mobile site and would launch the video app from clicking there.
But now, in the stock browser Google Reader site (formatted for mobile) the videos have taken a flash-like appearance, which messes up the mobile page formatting, and when I click it, a lower-res and far choppier version plays! I am not sure if this is only happening on Reader or on all sites yet. (I can try to take a screen capture if it helps you.) Now if I'm not mistaken, there's supposed to be no flash support until 2.2, and I made no deliberate changes to cause this. The videos look like crap, are formatted badly on mobile pages, and unchecking the plugins option in the browser just replaces them with a black square I can't do anything with.
Anyone else seen this, and maybe have any idea what's happened and how to make it go back to the way it was?
you should try another browser besides the default you wont go back lol
i don't have this problem on dolphin hd
Anyone have a suggestion *not* involving switching browsers?
I had the same issue and I just cleared browser defaults and it cut it out.
(As a note, I have switched to dolphin mini and love it, waaaay better than stock browser. Liked opera too.)
Epic is as Epic does

Was worth a try, but no change. Have figured out how to launch the app by clicking on the window again, although oddly enough Google Reader no longer does *anything* now when clicking on the video image. I'm not against trying an alternative so will check out Dolphin anyhow. Thanks.
I have love the A7, however, I am noticing that on many websites, I am not pulling up all of the pictures, or some of the buttons to click on are not visible. I updated Adobe Flash to 10.2 and that still did not help. What are others using for browsing?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I'm using Dolphin HD. It displays really well and I find that it gives a good browsing experience, with gestures and a lot of add ons if you want them. Not the leanest browser around, but one of the nicest, IMHO.
Opera and Firefox 4 for Android got rated the best...
Regards
Thanks for the responses, I will check them out....
if you want working flash w/out restrictions for using an android device you should install skyfire. its been providing folks w flash for android before adobe. works great for the misses farmville. at most, you may have to click on a flash icon before the flash content initially shows, but it seems to work great. its also got a convenient button in the browser bar to toggle between "mobile" or "desktop" mode browsing, to tell those pesky websites that want to show or restrict your "mobile content" that you're using a desktop.

I tried Firefox 4 last night and it seemed to drag my system to a standstill. When I killed they app, everything returned to normal.
Sticking with Dolphin for now, although I have switched from Chrome to FF4 on my laptop.
Since I'm still too n00b to post in the Dev Forum I'll post this here.
I just installed this awesome ROM and it all woks pretty fine... except for the bugs everybody has already mentioned in some topic or another.
About the bug regarding the capacitive buttons (the little Home/Menu/Back/Search) non correctly lighting up I found out a peculiar thing not mentioned by anyone else (afaik).
Maybe it could be useful, maybe not.
Anyway... in my phone (DHD ex-Cyanogenmod7, s-off, wiped) they are consistently turned off except when I open an ebook with Aldiko.
It always happens, and they stay ON untill I leave the ebook's pages.
It happens with both pdfs and epubs.
It only happens with Aldiko ... both Kindle and MoonReader failed to show the same glitch.
Just wanted to let people know u_u

its look like kernel problem try diffrent rom on ur phone.
Maybe I will ... this ROM is still too raw (performance-wise) for me right now.
Browser navigation is quite slow and the overall phone is not very snappy (compared to CM7).
But my post was intended as a little help for the Dev Team ... maybe noticing this Aldiko glitch may help them understand where to put theor hands on the kernel.
Or maybe not XD
Umm use a different reader .if the lights stay on maybe a kernel issue just flash lords kernel from the dev section .failing that man use a devs Cyranogen infused rom

Forgot to ask what rom r u running
I used to run CM7.
With that rom the buttons were always ON, as they were meant to.
I usually use the Kindle app and it did nothing strange.
Then I installed (and am currently using) Virtuous Quattro RC2.
With this the buttons are always OFF, which is a bug.
Searching the forums I found out that this is a more or less common bug, and there is no fix for it right now.
But then I read an article about how awesome this Aldiko app is, and decided to try it along with MoonReader and a few others.
Doing this I accidentally discovered that Aldiko somehow "fixes" the button's bug.
Searching the forums it appears no-one else reported this thing to the Virtuous devs.
So I thought: if Aldiko "does something" that fixes the bug, maybe telling the Devs may help them look in the right place and find a solution or a workaround.
That is all
Also running that rom...after trying several. This seems to be the least buggy of all of...I have tried several. The 1beta4 (LC) was the quickest/smoothest. but I had numerous small but annoying issues and loaded Quattro on 1/23. I have an Inspire. I also loaded the Quattro wifi fix and had to load Lordmod for the sound to work..appears to be an issue with Inspire and ICS. Anyway, long story longer...I am also an Aldiko fan/user and don't have any issues with the buttons at all...maybe the difference in phone...or the 2 additional zips made it a non issue?
I'm now running RC3.
Wifi problem is solved.
Capacitive button problem is solved.
General lagginess appears to be solved.
Battery life seems better too.
Strange enough, there is no way to remove the 3g toggle from the task bar
Good job team Virtuous! :-D

I have been running RC3 on my HTC Incredible S for the past few weeks and I never had any problem with the capacitive buttons until recently they stopped glowing and as you mentioned earlier they start working when I open Aldiko app. I read that the problem got solved for the RC3 then why am I having these issues?
