Keyboard issues or site issues? - Acer Iconia A500

I'm using hackers keyboard at the moment and it's pretty good so far. One problem I have though is the keyboard closes when I try to do a forum search here. I tried it with other keyboards and same problem. Anyone else have this issue?
I also have problems with using the backspace/delete button sometimes.

Yup, and this is how I handle it...
First I choose advanced search.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I type my query into the Keyword(s) Box, after that I hit the Search Now button.
Not positive, but I think that when you do this the search options default to the subforum where you start your search. So messing with any other settings than choosing between 'Search Title Only' and 'Search Entire Post' from the little dropdown is probably not necessary.
I am certain that there must be a much better and more elegant solution. But that's what works for me.

So it is a site issue then rather than an android issue?
Thanks for the help it's pretty annoying when I want to search something

I go to web browser. Google search for XDA,what.im looking for always brings results posted on XDA forums

I have the same issue on some sites with the backspace key not working. And I'm using the stock keyboard.

try with another browser. Dolphin browser for tab is working for xda forum search

When you say dolphin for tabs do you mean dolphin for pads beta?

Turn off java, for sites like this, much faster.

Try a different browser or mess with the User Agent settings (Desktop, android, etc)...

its new, they didnt update their page.

Netfront has been my favorite browser for ages.
It's just a shame it doesn't support Flash.

of course it is like every big browser. we've got a free internetbrowser and they our internet behavior^^
no jk.. maybe^^
its a very good one i prefer it to opera.
technically it's not freeware, it's a "concept version" It will expire at some point..
One day I hope theyll release the proper thing so that those of us who bought the last one can get an upgrade with everything working..
Over gprs in "simple mode" browsing things like this forum is perfect, strips out all the uneeded stuff and makes it very fast.
Not sure if anyone can help. I've been using the NetFront 3.5 Concept browser for a while but I have an issue with it.
For some reason when I am typing text into a webpage using it, be it into google or any other page, the text I am typing doesn't display until I move off the text entry box (tab, or press the right cursor key).
I've been living with it for the last few releases but would really like to get it sorted. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help.
Typing in usernames / google searches / facebook replies blind is fairly tricky. If I am writing anything other than a few words I tend to drop to notes or Word and then copy and paste.
Apologies if this is the wrong section to post in, but I thought it was somewhere to start.
I'm using a TyTn II branded as an XDA Stella.
Thanks

[Guide] How to Search Effectively!

First, click the Search button. (But don't put your search terms in there!) Instead, click "Or use the built-in forum search".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, click in the bottom right box and type 'nex' on your keyboard. This will restrict the search to the Nexus One forums. Click a specific forum if you want to search only a specific one.
Then click Show Results as -> Posts.
Enter your search keywords (root, desire, apps, etc), and select "Search Entire Posts" from the dropdown.
Finally, click Search!
Bump...
This should be a universal sticky.
Free bump.
i think we all know how to search lol we're just lazy
lol
+1 for universal sticky
homless begging for change = internet user asking questions w/o using search first

As much as forum regulars anywhere like to highlight the search-function it still works horribly. Utterly useless. Everywhere, including here.
Instead what I suggest people do first is google (keyword 'g' in my browser) :
g site:forum.xdadevelopers.com guide how to search
Bonus: you get to refine your search with a new one immediately, no need to wait 5-10-30 seconds or however long the forum requires newcomers to wait.
Bonus: familiar search interface, with well known syntax
Great!

i've tried Chrome, Maxthon and Dolphin browsers, both mobile and desktop modes and it doesn't seem to render the page correctly...i haven't accessed the site in quite a while, but it all used to work on Gingerbread and Honeycomb...i don't have an ICS device to test with, my Galaxy Nexus is also on JB and it also displays the page incorrectly
i'm wondering if there is some setting i need to enable (thought i've tried everything) or if it's just the site itself that's messed up
Here's what it looks like on mine using the stock Chrome browser:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

thanks for checking...though it doesn't really help me because i too am using the stock Chrome browser, at least now i know that it's not like that for everyone and the problem is at my end
are you rooted? i am...is there any reason that may make a difference?
Not rooted, no, and don't know what difference it could make. Though I wouldn't expect any browser to work particularly differently on a rooted device, but I'm no expert.

[Q] Chrome fonts are different sizes when zooming in.

Hi,
Since the last Chrome update I've noticed that when zooming in on a website (these forums for example) that one post will be in a large font and another post will have a tiny font.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've gone back to the older version and everything works fine. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if there was a solution other than downgrading?
I've noticed the same thing since the new update. I've also noticed that when you click on something. It doesn't flash blue anymore to indicate that it was pressed. Plus, when you first enter a website and start scrolling around before it's fully loaded. The page will automatically scroll back to the top when it's done rendering. My Nexus S used to do that and it drove me crazy. Hope they send out a quick fix for all this stuff. On another note, how does Google not notice these glitches before an update is released?.. Boggles my mind sometimes.
I've also noticed that when zoomed out the display is no where as crisp as it used to be. For example reading xda full screen in portrait it was quite easy to read, now it is quite blurred and the letters run into each other.
Chrome is a disaster, I really wish Google would sort it out, as I love the desktop version.

Is that what we are leaving it at? That it's a disaster? Firefox does this too. After searching, I haven't found a solution. Has anybody?

I think this is a good feature. Yes, it doesnt look like real page but i am reading texts more comfortable with this feature. Anyway, its not a disaster..

My workaround to still using chrome/chrome beta on xda, is to scroll down to the 'quick style chooser' and change it from 'xda 2013 beta' to 'xda 2010' that seems to totally sort out the wonky formatting on my nexus 4.
The feature is called Font Boosting in Chrome, or Font Inflation in Firefox for Android.
I don't think it can be disabled.

Quick Controls for S4

Omg, where is Quick controls in the default stock browser? It's not under the settings, I am seriously considering to just return my S4 because of this. I used it constantly and can't manage without it really...
ICS Browser+ have the feature but is NOT working with S4 (crashing).... What to do?

Just wait for ICS Browser to update their browser, I'm pretty sure that you can use an alternative browser in the meanwhile.
I posted a thread in the QA asking the same thing. I missed quick controls as well. It seems to me the stock S4 browser is a skinned Chrome browser. Not reason enough to return for me atleast. If the stock 4.2.2 Jellybean browser has QC, you might be able to overwrite the samsung browser with it, if you are rooted. Dont quote me on this though, just a guess on my part.
Awwww you have to press a onscreen button now...That must be so hard for you. Talk about first world problems

If you go to Google Play you can find an app called "Pie Control" - very similar to the one you see in your screen shot.

I beleive that you need root to use it - (when I installed it - it brought up the Super user permission screen)
I thought this was what you were talking about - hope it helps...
Questions go in Q&A

I sent my Samsung Galaxy S4 back for a refund because it did not have quick controls... So currently I'm still using my S3. Stupid S4, even HTC One have quick controls....
you can just install aosp browser and have quick control. the most annoying thing is it's a bit hard to trigger the quick control because the side bezel of the s4 is higher than the screen.
