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.

anybody got a fix for this?? it's really annoying not having pinch-to-zoom, i tried switching back to the android keyboard, but still doesnt bring the pinch-to-zoom function back...
same thing will happen in google maps and gallery
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.
If Honeycomb gives every users a mind-blowing experience from Froyo and Gingerbread, Honeycomb 3.1 is quite a update in terms of user experiences.
It improves over quite a number of areas to fix the glitches from here and there due to a first generation OS release.
One phrase to describe it is
Smoothness and responsiveness.
I had a head-to-head comparison with iPad 2 (my friend's) and my Xoom last weekend.
While apps I can find almost what I need from both iOS and Android (tablet compatible), one observable issue is the screen and apps responsiveness. Even my Xoom at that time was overclocked to 1.5G thanks to Tiamat's kernel, it barely matched iPad 2's screen by screen browsing, web page browsing and speed of apps opening etc.
With this 3.1 update, I thought Google hit home run on this front.
Other improvements includes previous mentioned by other folks
1. Recovery boot option appears (from folks who updated "naturally")
2. Under system update , there is a button to hit "check now" , so that we don't need to change system time to force a check everytime.
3. Resizable widgets (Gmail widget tested) is very handy
4. other publicly announced improvements.
Still exploring features now, rooted with instructions from this link:

Thanks stachre!
Will post a quick review with more screenshots on website. =)
Happy xooming folks!!!
Along with your points, I like that the recent apps bar now scrolls as well.
The YouTube app looks awesome in HD.

Bluetooth sucks. My keyboard keeps dropping when the mouse is connected. Other than that this thing seems great. Just waiting for some new kernels to drop now!
The new Quick Controls in the browser are fantastic. Overall the browser is much more responsive.
I've also noticed the keyboard lag seems to be gone.
Other differences are minor....
- the selection carrot when typing is more green
- the keyboard clicks as you type
- the Wi-Fi icon shows when you are uploading, downloading
I'm sure I will find more but its only been an hour since I flashed.

I'm wondering if you guys could test and see if the portrait lag is still there?
When you are in portrait mode, does sliding left or right in the home screen still lag? Thanks!

Also in Market, you can choose "app content filter". Damn I can't select "High Maturity" alone.
Thanks jiwengan for the quick reply. Not exactly sure how I should interpret your answer though? Are you saying that there is no lag when in portrait mode anymore? Thanks again!
Can you actually rate apps in the market on Honeycomb yet?
What quick controls in the browser? Mine looks the exact same

Quick controls look just like the ones that were already present in labs.
do you still have to be rooted to use a screenshot app?
I'm liking the performance enhancements.
For the browser quick controls, just to go settings in the browser, advanced and google labs.
I don't see any addition to leave comments yet in the market though.

in labs? So what exactly changed in 3.1? People keep saying they love the new browser but i dont see it any diff?
Labs is a section in the browser options where you have a few options to alternate your UI for example. One of which are the quick controls.
And they changed a bit so they got even better. Just try them...

He got confused on your questions.
his answer number 1 which was no, meant that when you actually turn it from horizontal to portrait, it still lags slightly before changing the screen orientation..
and his number 2 was to answer your actual question, which according to him is yes, it runs smoother than before.....
I'd like to see this for myself, but I'M STILL WAITING!

Portrait is smoother, but still not as smooth as landscape on mine. The update is fantastic though. Overall performance is better. The quick controls redefine tabbed browsing to me. No complaints.
The quick controls are two "rows" thick now instead of 1 and there are a few more controls. It is more definitely different from before as I used the quick controls heavily and noticed the change instantly. Overall a much nicer experience.
Has media playback improved? I'm mostly interested in how HC 3.1 does with scene HD TV show MKVs (720p with H264/AC3).
Thanks.
Hello fellow Iconia owners,
First off, I have to say I bought the Iconia as an impulse buy thanks to the staples 299.99 deal. I am really enjoying it! I also have an HTC Thunderbolt which I love.
So, which web browser do you all prefer on the Iconia/Honeycomb? I had been using the stock browser, but it seemed really laggy the scrolling seemed really slow. I read some of the reviews for the other browsers out there (Dolphin HD, Miren, Firefox), but decided to go with Opera Mobile. So far it has been working well, but wondered if what your thoughts were on the best tablet browser.
Thanks!
I use dolphin.
Dolphin...
in tthe most updates firmware, i love the stock browser, but i find maxthon browser the fastest one.
Dolphin because I don't have to worry about setting the user agent to 'Desktop' all the time.
Stock Browser for the moment...
I cycled through the main ones. Dolphin has the best speed and refresh out of the bunch.
I went back to the stock browser for a few reasons...
1) Since the 3.1 update the speed and refresh and scrolling is almost as good as the dolphin.
2) I love the Bookmarks scrollable Folder widget. It's on my home screen and sicne I use the tablet mainly for web / email / pictures / games, having those links easy access is a dream.
3) If you go to the LABS setting and turn on the quick controls, the ease of browsing just went up 10 fold...
There are a few others, but these are the main reasons...
Welcome to the Iconia Clan!
Now go get root, put Netflix on there and enjoy even more!!!

Thanks to everyone for your replies so far!
Achristocat: I am rooted and am running honey villain. I also gave the xoom rom a test too. Stock browser inputs (typing, scrolling, clicking links, etc) all seemed kinda laggy. Does the quick controls help with that?
I use the bookmarks widget too but I can set whatever browser as the default app when using that widget...
Oh, and I have netflix and it rocks
Thanks again!

the quick controls seem to help make everything about the browser faster, i think its because the browser app no longer has to display a gui, it just shows the web page/content
I used dolphin for some time but have switched to maxthon. Love it on my tablet.

I followed the directions in a recent post on XDA about utilizing Freeform Window Mode to see if it worked on Mate 9. Short answer is it does!
It allows you to, for example, play a video on YouTube and do something else in a different window like type a message. It's a little rough on the edges but definitely usable.
Here is a link to article with instructions if you missed it.

Yes! Don't know how to do that yet.
Here are a few screen shots to show what it looks like on Mate 9. In the screen shot with the recently used apps shown, if you touch the rectangular icon on the top of the app's frame it returns the app to the screen in a floating resizable form again.
HI @mscion
Did you use adb? Will it stay after restart if I use the adb?
Thanks,

Yes to both questions! The app taskbar, that is described in the post I reference works pretty well too. It opens a window you can scroll through all your apps and then select one to open in a floating resizeable window. One thing I noticed is that, when opening an app from recents, it sometimes hangs, not sure if that is related to the the launcher I use. The overall user experience is not as developed as what you would find on the Samsung Note devices but it is quite usable. Plus it won't pause a Youtube video if you change focus to another window. Here is a screen shot with the taskbar window open.
Just did it. Works well. Not sure if I will use it anytime soon though.

Glad it worked! Mate 9 screen is still a bit small to do much with floating windows. Same with Samsung Note series. If one can broadcast screen on a larger monitor might come in handy using a bluetooth keyboard to write a document or some other multitasking.

Just picked up Chromecast Ultra. Does a nice job of broadcasting Mate 9 screen to tv monitor. Floating windows appear to look OK so in principle you could have a desktop experience. Some pictures off my monitor.
