I am trying to remove the 'exit' prompt when hitting the back key. The FAQ at their website says go to Menu/More/Settings to turn off the prompt. Problem is that I can't find Menu/More/Settings. Where is it?
Hit the system menu button at the bottom left of the screen. Go into settings (you might not have to hit "More"), change settings.
Entropy,
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry for being so slow but I do not see any menu button at the bottom left of the screen. When I bring up the Dolphin browser I have a left arrow for back, a up arrow that brings up the tablet home page, a layered rectangle that brings up a graphical column that has My Apps, Team Stream, Gmail, Google Search, and Settings.
If I hit Settings I do not get a "More". The last icon at the lower left, a rectangle grid brings up the a bottom six options; refresh, bookmarks, toolbar, forward, exit, and uh-oh "more". Oops! There it is. Found exit settings and fixed the problem. Thank you very much.
lmao!
Glad you got it! Totally got a chuckle out of that stream of consciousness style there lol
Where is the Thanks button?
Get the dolphine browser for tablets.
Good luck

Below each post - if you don't see it you need to hit the user cp and change your theme, I think
Brilliant, so goodto know there is at least one other person out there that is as slow as me at spotting the obvious. Now if I can just find someone with the inability to saty polite when drunk then I've had a good day.

I tried dolphin for tablets but it was blurry. It didn't look good. I looked through the options to see if there was a way to fix it but I couldn't find anything.

Hey Gmfeny, did you get you random wifi disconnects sorted... I read that you used the wifi analyzer (where did you find that..?) and then at your womans pad, it started working. What is the latest. Later on.

Stupid question I know, but when you open the browser, is there no one click other than opening bookmarks that will just go to your homepage, and also is there a refresh button?
I've not been able to find either. The lack of refesh is very annoying when you are looking at thing like football results.
no, as shown in another thread, there is no home button. like you said, use bookmarks, or open a new window. Daft but that's what were stuck with at the moment.
As for refresh button, yes there is.
press menu to show the address bar at the top, and on the right of the address bar is a button that changes from refresh (when a page is loaded) to stop (while a page is loading)
Thanks..
Strange they let you set up and change the homepage but not the most basic function of getting there. As most of the time it's left on the last page you were on and doesn't revert to home? Oh well. Another one for the updates.
As a sidenote, how do you guys feel about the applications you download having access to :
Phone calls, read phone state
Hardware controls
Network Communications, full internet access
etc
etc
Why would something like Shazam need all this info about phone calls in particular
I have igoogle as my homepage,all i do is put a shortcut for igoogle from bookmarks on my homescreen and use that as my browser.

like yer style!
done that now to!
After installing the update from TMO, The little bar that flips between mail, home, internet, images, music, etc. "shrinks" into a little black tab in the middle of my screen at the bottom.
This is super super annoying because it takes an extra effort to click on the damn thing and then slide my finger to scroll. This also requires a second tap on the screen when i go to browser because the first one simply 'collapses' the little thing and the second one will actually respond to the internet icon you're tapping on.
Tell me there's a way to turn off the collapse of this stupid thing. I tried looking on here but I don't know what keywords to use to search this out. Something like 'htc sense update hd2 registry change' yields nothing.
TIA

It sounds to me like you have cookies home tab enabled?! That is strange are you sure you didn't flash to a custom rom?! I have that one my phone and I have the update but the only way I was able to get that was with CHT. I have attached examples.
Yep! I do have cookies home tab installed! Dang..so is the setting in that to change it? :bangs head:
I'll take a look.
WTHAT A MORON. Thats its. The 'retractable slider' setting. I can't believe I didn't realize that was cookie and not HTC.
Thanks a million for pushing me in the right direction.
Awesome! Glad I could help! I had that enable for a while but it became a little annoying so I took it off! Hahahaha it does make it look really cool!
Hey, thanks for the info. I'm glad I learned about that.
I also have Cookies, and didn't know about that.
Now I have just enabled that feature. Why? I don't find that "ribbon" at the bottom very useful, as it is not very customizable. Nice to have the settings button there at the right, but one can also do that with a Quick Link. I like the music app, but one can also do a quick link for that. Withouth that ribbon, there is room for another row of quick links. (I find it unfortunate that that "ribbon" is so uncustomizable. You cannot choose what is in it, but only what to remove (other than settings and home). (I don't really need that home icon either, because there is a hardware button for home.) I don't like how that "People" tab goes to "HTC People". I'd rather go straight to the regular contacts list. But it can't be changed (AFAIK), only removed.
So by retracting it, I remove the whole thing (can slide it back if I want), but can put the links I like in that ribbon into quick links, for which there is now more room.
Thank you.
Ohh Why oh why does my url bar +/buttons go b off the top of the screen when I scroll cdown? Very annoying!

Just the way it is designed I suppose - given the limited amount of space on the screen, they've probably assumed that most people are more likely to want a full screen view when they scroll down to read something.
You only need to press menu to get it back, wherever you are on a page.

Dave

this or when you can't see the address bar you can press the back button on the capacitive buttons and it will direct you to the top of the page address bar and all.
Problem? I always thought this was a fantastically clever feature.
Ok its gonna take some getting used to I guess.
Also why is the brightness settings in the web seperate from the control panel?
And is there a way I can get the system settings screen swipe pull down menu while on the web? Sorry for the questions and thanks for the help

Anyone else try out these slide-out browser quick controls?
I 'love' them. I turned them on a few days after getting the tab and havent looked back.
How about you?
To enable this feature for the stock browser go to settings - labs - quick controls and make sure the box it ticked. Now in the browser, slide in from the side and a wheel of sorts will pop out with all your controls.
Very slick feature.
I have been using them since day one. Love it.
Yes, they're handy once you get the hang of them.
Very nice, thanks for sharing that tip!

Where is this? Dont have an entry for "labs" under "settings"?
Settings in the browser, not general setting on the tablet. Top right corner in the browser.
I think it actually comes enabled by default on the Xoom; needless to say it was refreshing to see when I first started using the tablet. Using the menu in the upper right hand corner is not as user friendly.
The only thing I have noticed is that it is difficult to initiate controls with the acer case, because the edge comes right up to the screen. I usually have to attempt the gesture a couple of times in order for the controls to come up.

I've never had that problem. Simply slide your finger 'into' the screen, from the bezel. Works like a charm every time and I love how it appears at the exact position your finger made the sliding motion into the page, rather than a single static location.
If I had one feature request, it would be 1 more button you could use to hold it as a handle to slide the wheel up or down the side, and tap it to pin it or unpin it.
Heh - didn't even know this existed until I saw this thread. Not sure I like it though - I usually close the last tab to close the browser (since back makes you step through all pages viewed and home would leave it open.)

How do you close the browser with last tab? The tab disappears and browser turns full screen everytime specially when there's only one tab left. I find it hard to bring the tab to appear again.

funny I know... I open up a new blank one... close the last one and then hit the back button to close the whole thing out... he he... I woudn't mind if the tabs were up there all thetime or use a quick menu to pop it up and down...
You can actually just do a long press on the webpage and it will bring up the tabs at the top, then you can close them.

That's how I do it right now, but sometimes it selects the text for copy/paste instead of displaying the tab. You really have to find an empty spot on the browser page to make it work. Adding a new tab and closing, then closing the last tab requires a really fast finger to catch the last tab. Sometimes I'm slow to click on the last tab and it just hides again. How I wish the default browser has an option to exit, similar to Dolphin browser.
Why the desire to have an exit, to hide the porn your surfing?
Keeping the browser in memory is useful, because that is alot of what I use this thing for.

Dolphin is a PITA for copying URLs.
Add bookmark for the page you want to copy the URL for, but before clicking "OK", long press in the address then click copy out of the box there, then click cancel so you don't have the bookmark.
The only way I know to copy URL in Dolphin
you can highlight the url to copy.. It takes double tapping on the url just exactly right to fast it will reload to slow .. ahh i forget what it does.. Its frustrating beyound reasonable.. the book mark thing works as well...this issue also exist in stock browser... GRRRRR Makes me wanna chuck my tablet across the room at times...
we need a right click menu box are you listening google...

It's been a known issue with Dolphin since day one that they haven't deemed necessary to fix!
I have an Acer Iconia A500 and I use Dolphin Browser HD with the stock keyboard.
To copy a URL, I navigate to the page, press and hold in the address bar, and then select "Copy page url" from the resulting choices. It doesn't visibly highlight the URL, but it's there when I go to paste.

Glad to know that my first forum post actually helped someone. I'm using the latest version (7.3.0) of Dolphin Browser HD. I'm not sure when the "copy URL" feature was added, as I've had my Acer Iconia A500 and A100 for less than a month.
I'm new to Android, and I have a question that is probably very basic.... My touch is often imprecise, even when the page is zoomed, and when I'm trying to type something I often find that I need to move forward just a character or a word or two. Is there some way to do this with the on-screen keyboard? Sometimes it drives me nuts trying to find the spot I want to get to with my finger!

Not with the stock keyboard. Try Hackers Keyboard in the market, it adds arrow keys.

I have never had that issue on my a500, even when I was running pure unrooted stock. Just press and hold on the URL in the address bar. Little bar above comes up with cut, copy, and paste. Easy easy.
*redownloads dolphin HD*
*instantly remembers why I removed it*
Ah well. Yeah, as I thought, look at the address bar, press and hold on the URL, there's your menu, with copy URL on it.
Simple.
I don't get what issues you guys are having, sorry.

It was not always so in Dolphin HD. As a matter of fact if you do a deep search in this forum (at least a few months back), Dolphin lacked that feature

The little blue tab that appears when you click in a text area is supposed to help with that (supposedly just drag it where you want your cursor), but it's FAR from perfect

I just tried that, and it does help a lot! I was able to slide the green arrow tab where I needed it to go. Thank you so much!
Does anyone know where there are similar Android on-screen keyboard tips? I'd like to review the basics—like how to highlight, copy, paste, etc. I tried Google, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
heres your guide:
To highlight something long press on the word. In dolphin a menu will pop up. Hit select text. The word will be selected and there will be a bar on the top of your page with copy, ect. In the stock hc browser, the popup menu step is simply skipped.

Thank you! I've been able to copy things randomly, but I was never quite sure how I had done it!
I just tried what you suggested, and now I see that I can move the green arrow tab(s) to highlight and copy multiple words too. Yay!
