I'm having an odd problem with Chrome in this phone that I didn't with the One X. After a page has completely loaded if I rotate the screen, almost half the screen is black before it renders it. If going to upright, the bottom half is black and if going to sideways the right side is black. Doesn't happen with the stock browser.

just released a new version today. did you try it?
Yep, still doing it.
This is one of the reasons I've been looking forward to getting this phone, so I can use Chrome and sync with my PC. Anybody else having this problem?
No issues here
Maybe a similar problem here... when i rotate my screen, it scrolls to a totally different part of the web page. I have to go hunting to find out where i was on the page after rotation.

What do you want to sync with Chrome? The stock browser asks you to sign in to Google then gets all your history and bookmarks from Chrome already.

A black square pops up at the top of the screen when browsing in Opera and does not go away. What on earth is it?

I have the Blackstone and cannot figure out what black square you're referring to on the browser. Care to be more specific?

He is talking about the Opera Browser you can see in all the HD videos. When the phone is switched to landscape mode it is displaying a strange black square at the bottom. i dissapears when you scroll on a page but when you stop its suddenly there again.
That's it Raziel1. I see it in the videos on Youtube. When you scroll it vanishes but when you stop it comes back again. I am so puzzled as to what it is for.
its the new zoom feature isn't it? when u hit it it brings up a zoom scroll bar so you can zoom as much or as little as you want instead of just double tapping the screen.
to the OP, are you sure it's at the TOP? there shouldn't be anything at the top. there should be TWO black squares at the bottom corners (one on each side), regardless of orientation. the left one is zoom, the right one is new page (or shrink current page to a tile).
Ok go here to see a video of it:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TykCSs44TAs
Move the progress bar below the video to 4minutes and 6 seconds and watch fro there onwards. Clearly seen in landscape browsing. What is it and can it be disabled in options?

Ok so what else you'd like to know about the Blackstone, I have seen so much info on it when Googled
So of all the people who seem to have the phone, no one can tell me what that square is yet?

looking at the newest youtube videos, it seems that this square was just part of the prerelease version. more a bug than anything else maybe.
Hi, I have never posted in these forums before but I have been using them ever since I had my tmobile wing.
Anyway today my friend asked to see my G1 and idk what he pressed or did but my applications tab was on the right side of my screen while my phone was in portrait mode. It looked sweet it slid out and all the icons were small. How do you do this? When I opened and closed my phone the tab returned to nomal.
My phone is rooted by the way with JFv1.42_RC33 as my rom.
that happens to me all the time
its a software glitch
i just restart my phone
It really doesn't matter to me because the dock is fine at the bottom, but I think being able to dock the application tab on the bottom, top or sides would just add to each users comfort and enjoyment.. and we all like to be able to customize various aspects of our G1, so why not the dock location?

Do you know how to make it happen? or does it just happen randomly?
its never happened to me but i think it's just a random glitch that happens when you open the keyboard.
but from the screenshots of it someone posted a while back, it does (in my opinion) look much better.
as far as i know, no one's been able to 'recreate' it.
This happens to me all the time on the h build. So annoying, it's like the phone doesn't know its in landscape mode. The tab gets in the way of the shortcuts etc. I can't wait to get back to G

Happens to me randomly, usually when I close the keyboard and rotate the phone at the same time.

no offence, but thats not what the OP was talking about. That's a known issue, rather than a random glitch.
Go the thread on adding features in the development forum, and download the launcher.apk there. Problem solved.
I only use 3 home screens and would like it so that when I press home (when I'm on page 1 or 3 for example) it takes me to the middle screen. Currently it takes me to the 3rd screen and it's driving me crazy. Even when I add a4th screen then it goes to the 4th. Has anyone found a way to set which screen to make the default?

There is already a thread on T-Mo's forums. Looks to be a bug, it always goes to page 4 regardless of how many pages you have.
My solution was just to add all the pages back and just leave the outside pages blank :shrug:

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.

Yep, I turned them on the first day I got mine. Love 'em!
I got a Droid Turbo last month and I love it for everything except one thing. It always opens to my phone page and I have to back out of it to do anything else. This is a real issue when I am trying to get to my home page real quick.
How can I get the phone to open to my home page?
By chance are you just using the swipe lock screen?

Swipe up not to the right.
Thanks - that worked.
Swipe left gets you right to the camera also...
