I have posted in the wrong forum somtimes. Shame on me.
Now, in the thread mensioned above, the thread-starter want us to use the "search this forum"-button.
My question.
Why can't I use that very nice button when browsing this site with my tablet or SGS? It is disappearing when touching it. From a pc it's no problem.
I had trouble with this last night, if you touch the arrow for the dropdown search entry, then hit advanced search, it works fine
Also maybe another browser will do this correctly, not sure

Hi everyone,
I recently got a GT but I've been having some problems using the "search" functions on websites.
For instance, here on XDA, whenever I try to use the "search this thread" the following happens:
1) the input box for entering text appears then,
2) the keyboard pops up for a second then,
3) the input box disappears, so I can't enter anything. [frustrating!]
I have tried this on multiple browsers (Stock, xScope and Dolphin HD) and on different sites and the same problem regardless of if I use the Samsung or Swype keyboards.
I have no similar issues using these browsers on my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) or Nexus One.
One thing I notice, is that whenever the keyboard pops up, there are "Prev." and "Next" tabs right above the keyboard. I am not sure if those "extra" tabs are accidentally causing the browsers to resize the pages thereby shutting down the input text box.
Any ideas?
Also, why does XDA always show up jumbled in portrait view?
Thanks!~

The Tab can't handle these types of windows where they are a window within a window.
However, there is an easy solution.....
What you must do is when you click on the 'Search this Forum' or 'Search this Thread' boxes you must then click on where it says 'Advanced'.
This will then open up a new window where you can then type in your search request.
Regarding Portrait not showing correctly ~ I have no issues with the xda-devs web site in Portait mode. It must be a setting you have.
Thanks. Maybe it is a setting I have in my user cp since that's all I can thunk it might be. I will try your.suggestion.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S, especially with 'xda 2010' theme and the drop down search boxes, i have tried a few different keyboards (Samsung, Gingerbread, Smart keyboard pro, HTC IME mod) the only one that works with the drop down boxes is HTC IME mod, you might want to give that a try. I have just done a quick search and i am not sure if it has been modded for the Tab?

If it works could you please leave me a vote of thanks..... but I stress, only if you feel it deserves it. The Thanks votes must only be used if someone has assisted or helped an individual in some form or another.
For each vote of thanks I receive my nurses are authorized to remove £10 from my wallet to go to charity.
What version of HTC ime mod are you using. I tried v.27 hi and keep getting fc. Do you have a link to the apk?
Thanks.

I use Firefox for Android and seems to work far better on sites that all the other mentioned browsers have problems with. Including this site. Firefox is still a beta but it works well enough for me on my Tab.
Am I the only one who can't get the XDA forums to show and function correctly in the Xooms native browser?
There is overlapping text (the "Rate this Thread" text), and the search function can't be used (when I tap the dropdown for seaching the forum, the drop down pops down, but if i tap the text area and start typing, the text ends up in the address bar for the browser).
I tried the XDA app, and it just force closes every time I try to go into a thread.
Ideas?
The XDA Premium app works perfectly on HC 3.1

I prefer browsing XDA from the browser. I switched it to XDA Classic because I would get extreme lag when typing on a thread.
I have no lag when I switched to classic. Try that and see if it helps. You can scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you have the option to switch to XDA Classic. It's not eye candy but it will do the trick.
You're right that did help the keyboard lag haha
Cool. Glad it worked.
To the OP I didn't realize you were using the Classic XDA page. Sometimes you get the overlapping of words but it doesn't happen a lot. I would try browsing through an alternate browser like Dolphin and see if that helps.
Another thing I found weird is that I can't upload attachments in XDA anymore. I'm assuming it's because I switched to classic XDA.
Actually I wasn't using the XDA Classic page. It was the new one. I just tried switching it and it is formatted much better, but the search still doesn't work right. You tap the "Search this Thread" button and it pops open the text box, but tapping the text box brings up the keyboard and closes the text box - placing your typed input into the address bar.
I just downloaded Dolphin HD. Will give that a shot.
Thanks
Unfortunately, Dolphin HD has the same issues. It doesn't render the page well in the non-classic mode, and I can't get the search function to work in either mode (same issue as the standard browser).
Thaks,
Jeff

dolphin HD and the default browser use the same rendering engine. Unless you use Opera or the FF beta I would not expect a difference in behavior. Ad block or turning off javascript may help. The forums are great but some of the JS on here is questionable at best, particularly around ads....
I just tried the default forum with JS off and it was very snappy. It breaks some of the dropdowns but what does work is fast.
I have had my GS4 for about 3 weeks now, and I have had more pocket dials, and pocket changes in this 3 weeks than I have in the last 10 years.
Without setting up a password on my lock screen how do I get it to lock properly?
Many times when I grab my phone out of my pocket it is unlocked already, and when I hit the home button from a locked state most of the time it just unlocks my phone without me needing to swipe the screen or anything.
I normally run the MIUI rom, but it's not out yet, so I am on how ever it comes from Bell, and it says up to date. I installed the MIUI launcher, and it helps, although sometimes the normal launcher shows up from waking it up instead of the MIUI one. And there are still the times where it's just unlocked taking it out of my pocket, and where waking it up it is unlocked without swipping.
Please help.
Also, seems yesterday I merged several contacts into one, is there a way to roll it back to get my contacts how they should be? I have no idea who all the contact number are without having their names

So question for you guys.. what browser are you using? Both the stock browser and google chrome do some really goofy things with increasing text sizes randomly. I tried dolphin browser but when I hit the back key it sometimes refreshes and that is very annoying. Any tips?
Bonus question.. any way to enable autocomplete on the stock 4 row key
board?
I use dolfin beta, only because it utilizes flash and has an exit button. I have to have an exit button. I refuse to hit back or home.

Has anyone been able yet to just type their destination and have maps navigate like it used to? I'm beyond disgusted with this update. I have to Google the address, select navigate from the web results, select the route, then select start, and if -IF- maps works then it misses my first several turns and announces them late. If it force closes "unfortunately Google maps has stopped responding" I have to repeat these steps 3-5 times. Not to mention my favorites and local have also stopped working properly. This is asinine.
Any work arounds or am I going to have to downgrade?

Hmm, not to sound rude, but, doesn't this question belong in the Google Maps section of XDA?

Not to sound b*tchy (here it comes; see 'no offense' rules) but I'm unable to locate anything like that as I'm using a phone, not to mention I'm wondering if its the ROM, kernel, or any of the various other things on the device. The people I seem to get the most educational and informative information from are people in this specific thread.
If you could link to the forum or ask a mod to move the thread that too would help as I have zero control once the thread is posted as to where it stays or is located to.
Also thanks for all your wildly informative help and knowledge on the maps issue. Much appreciated.

May I suggest uninstalling the updates and going back to the default version to see if that solves the problem?
I have not used Maps for navigation lately but typing in a destination and getting a route seems to be working just fine.
I used maps the other day to get to my doctors. Then from my doctors I used maps again to get me to a restaurant. Bot times it worked perfectly! Maybe try out a different ROM/Kernel. Or try out a different navigation app.
I agree. I use it on 4.3 daily with no problems. Yes the update did do away with the navigation app that came with maps when you download it but it's integrated into the Google maps app. Type destination, hit the navigation button, choose route, then hit start. No problems with it here but I was wondering what happen to the nav app at first until I opened maps up and saw that it was built into it now.

I've seen several other (via Google) people with similar issues and none of the hardware/software I have meanwhile there's people that do have my ROM (Carbon) or kernel (Ktoonsez) or both and it runs well... I've downgraded for now until I can figure out a better solution... Thanks for the input guys.

I've been seeing better experience with maps since the update. I'm on stock rom plus root and few other mods.

Sigh. I still haven't had any luck with it. Tried several different downloads - just in case - and am still with the same issues. I have even gone so far as to wipe after the uninstall and before I update.
