Google started as a search engine, and todaytheir main priority and focusis still that. Today, it’s known as the father of all the search engines, and Google planned to take their mobilesearch experienceto nextlevel. Introducing Google Handwrite, which allow theuser to search by writing letters with your finger most anywhere on your device display. Like if you don’t wantto type because you just hate it, or you aresomewhere in a crowded street corner, or stuck in a box, then this is your way out for an accurate search. Have a lookon the video:

It’s funnywhen you are on a treadmill and searching for cupcakes, ironic right? Thefeatureisavailable for Android 2.3+ phones and Android 4.0+ tablets, and to activatethis feature, go to Google.com in your mobilebrowser, tap on Settingsand enable “Handwrite” and you aregood to go. Anyway, it’s an amazing addition byGoogle and I am sure people will appreciateit. Tell me what do you thinkabout this feature?

I tried it on my note browser and it is working cool.. I am loving this feature.
If I want to hand-write I usually use Sammy's keyboard and switch to handwrite mode. That way I use it everywhere I want to. I could even use it in Google's search
Thanks. It works in Classic V2 rom too.

The google handwriting feature works great on my Galaxy note stock browser.. just great..
I have begin to use the spen more now along with the LectureNotes app..
is it an app , then pls share the .apk , if its a setting pls elaborate how to enable it
This is just feature inside stock browser
open google search page
select 'setting' near bottom of page
and select 'Enable' in Handwrite
After Enabling It Click on the G button appears on the right bottom corner as shown in video and start typing
Guys it works with Chrome browser as well. Tried firefox, but therr is no option.
What u need to do is
open Google.com
Scroll down and click on Settings ( dont click on your phone menu key).
Under "Handwriting" select enable
Thats it, pretty smart recognition engine compare to samsung keyboard.

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!~
:nudge:

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.

first step would be using the search function on these forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28734102&postcount=5 download the apk here...
then just use any browser other than chrome.
alternatively, if you're using youtube website, just go to www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5. that will allow your device to use html5 for any webpages that use embedded youtube videos.
Thank you very much guy. I don't know why didn't think about a different browser. Again thank you

I am running FireFox (google Mozilla APK) and Flash APK and using a FireFox addon called 'Full Screen'. It gets rid of the URL part so u can zoom in and get as close to 'full screen'; if u try to use the regular full screen, most of the time the browsers crash.
At first I thought 'Full Screen' sucked b/c of the ratings but its not as bad, actually its pretty good b/c it seems to work perfect for tablet (seems like phones its not so good since smaller screen). Just make sure u know that u have to turn it on thru the menu (no quick hotkey/gesture) and to turn it off to get back URL bar, u hold down on a page till popup comes on asking to turn it off or not. Overall its pretty good on the Nexus 7, only wish is to have a quick gesture/hotkey to turn it on.

Is this still working for you because I tried doing it and despite engaging full screen my Firefox crashes as soon as I enable the flash video by tapping it.

I just installed MX Player from the Store. Copy/Paste the url and it plays. Stupid that Adobe hasn't released a patched version yet.
Have you seen that Note 3 has no more pop-up browser of Note 2?
Why is that?
I understand now with pen window we have more choices , but when i want to open a link or something, i wont have a choice to have a small window...? I have to use the spen, make a box , select internet and copy-paste the link i already have opened in the full browser?
I also noticed (from the videos I've seen that is) that pop up browser is no longer one of the options.
ALL apps should have this functionality, if not, then thats Samsungs stupid fault and will hopefully be quickly resolved by developers HERE @ XDA
I guess it's becouse of box.
Draw a box on your screen and open the browser in it... No more need for popup browser imo

People, are you serius ? Have you ever used the pop-up browser ? In what way the Pen Windows can replace the pop-up browser ? IT CAN'T !!! :crying::crying:
Every Link you have, on Note 2, you can open it with pop-up browser, so it mean that if you are on hangout / facebook / whateveryouwant you can open a link in the pop-browser, so you can follow 2 things at time. Pen Windows can't open link in other app, so it can't replace the pop-up browser !

Just downloaded popup browser from the play store it's quite like the old popup browser but not for me at the moment I uninstalled it.I do not miss the old popup browser the new multitasking is better.But my old phone was a note 1 so maybe popup on 2 was better
pen windows as popup browser
On my Note 1 if I have the browser running in split mode, any link I click in the other half will be opened here. I'd think pen window would act the same.
A Note 3 owner please confirm this:
1. Create a pen window
2. minimize it
3. click on a link in facebook (or whatever app)
4. Does it activate pen window?
if it does, I think pen window will be an improvement for popup browser, which I am also a big fan of on the Note 1.

It's not the same, it's a workarount !
In that way you need to use multiwindows and you need to open 2 apps and this mean that the apps with links is compatible with multiwindows. With pop-up browser it's not needed (you can also disable multiwindows) and it's more fast and usable on the go.
Click on Link => Open in pop-up browser
Easy, no multiwindows, no more steps, Nothing Else.
You are not convincted ?
Easy Diagram Steps
Note 3 with no pop-up browser
1)Open Multiwindows
2)Drag the Internet app
3)Drag the Compatible App
4)Click on the central blue point and choose the apposite tool
5)Drag and Drop the link on the Internet navigation bar
AMAZING !!! So fast, few steps and .... compatible with all apps ... Ah wait, only with multiwindows compatible app
Note 2 With pop-up browser
1) Open whatever you want app and click the link
2) Choose to open in pop-up browser
Few steps, compatibile with all apps, fastest ..... Don't think i'll use multiwindows to open link instead of a pop-up browser :laugh:
BTW I'll use the app "Browser window", but this a big missing in Note 3
The way I, and I think a lot of people, use pop-up browser is to click on a link in another app (EG: e-mail) and have the browser content display less than full-screen so the original app (EG: e-mail) doesn't lose focus so you can close the browser content and continue where you left off. The N3 does this automatically. At least mine does. This is clicking on an advert link from within an e-mail. I don't have to "open" or "split" anything to get it to behave this way; it just does.
Pen window as popup browser
I mentioned multi window only as an example. My suggestion is to have a pen window browser minimized, and then click on a link in any app.
Is it directed into the pen-window-browser or a full screen browser is started?
I don't yet have an N3 to check it on

So you get the multi-wndow browser behavior out of the box without applying any particular settings? I can't get mine to do it without first firing up the browser in a multi-window.
I've used pop up browser, Pen window is just as good
