I use m.facebook.com rather than the Android app, but am finding it increasing frustrating to type there. If I click a comment box to type in it the keyboard covers the box, preventing me from seeing my mistakes. Also the phone will not auto capitalise on that site and if I long press to do, for example, a question mark it always types both characters i.e. k?, c', x" etc.
Anyone else or just me?

Check out fast facebook on the play store. Less invasive than the official facebook app, and reasonably low footprint.
the facebook app was developed for a reason don't you think ?
Da you have the latest Facebook Version?
Facebook app sucks for me. It doesnt load on wifi sometimes.
But for typing enable full screen keyboard will let you see what you type or use different keyboard. like GO Keyboard
Try friendcaster, it's better then the Facebook app

I can't believe that even on my beautiful sleek Nexus One, I can't view embedded email pictures. Does anyone know why this is? And if not maybe some one knows how to fix it? This is actually ridiculous if you ask me, its the Gmail app that has been made by Google for a Google operating system on a Google phone but it can't display embedded email pictures? Whats going on here?
It works fine for me... Did you push the "Show Pictures" button near the top of the email?
Sometimes they show up for me. Usually they don't though and I always press 'show pictures'. I love the phone bit its the least of my issues: I can't send mms to any phone bit android, I get 'uportal error' on a common site that the iPhone 3g and 3gs access no problem, and I often get a quarter of an inch of orange load bar when clicking a link in the browser which sometimes is only remedied by a phone reset. I have loved all 3 of my android phones though and Its google we're talking about. They are all about te internet and I trust they are diligently working to improve te average, albeit fast browser experience.
I just read my post and good God this keyboards tough to type on.

Change your user agent like I suggested your other thread, and use the speech to text. ; )
I have pressed show picture, all i get is a question mark in a little blue box and i can see the frame of the picture that is spoused to be there. I know im not the only person people. Don't make me feel like im the only one here..
Currently, the gmail app does not support embedded pictures in emails. When you see pictures it's because the person attached the picture to the email. The only way to see embedded pictures in an e-mail on your phone is to log into gmail through the browser. This has been like this since 1.5 and has been submitted to google numerous of times. Hopefully they will fix this problem.

I have the same issue as OP and have since I can remember (since I got my G1 on pre-order) and clicking on "show pictures" and clicking on the blue square does nothing for me on my G1 and my Nexus.
/agree with mgorman.....
Embedded pictures is working just fine in the Gmail app, had some ad-spam from Direct2Drive, Apple, Impulse etc in my inbox just now and they all had embedded pictures. Clicked show pictures and it worked like a charm, this was also over 3g network.
As far as I know I can't take screenshots with an un-rooted phone, so I've attached a picture.

You can use the Android sdk to take pictures of the phone:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure USB debugging is on, plug in phone to PC
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -> ddms.bat​
Not sure what you guys are talking about. Embedded pictures work absolutely flawlessly on my phone
Ah of course via the SDK. Been developing for Android for some time, but I've only been using the emulator since I've been too lazy to actually hook up my phone

cool thanks paul. Now, obviously I know how to change the user agent, but for all the other folks here who might not, maybe you should give them really basic, simple instructions....

do you have astro file manager installed? there is an option in this app that allows you to download otherwise un-downloadable files through the stock browser that makes pictures in email not work (according to the setting in the app itself)
So I searched and couldn't find a direct answer basically here it goes,
I'm using CM7 and the gingerbread keyboard that comes stock. This has been happening since alpha and it slows down my texting. I'm a big texter, and I send about 25-35 thousand texts a month. So I need this to be fixed!
What happens, is that when I'm normally texting sometimes letters will automatically type themselves twice. Such as if I'm texting the word "always" it will usually come out as "aalways" and it looks dumb. I love the gingerbread keyboard but I might have to result in using another keyboard if this continues!(Does this drain battery life?) I don't want to use swype.
If there's a fix let me know! And I checked for a calibration setting and couldn't find one :/
Also happens to me. I just go back and fix it. It's not a HUGE problem, but it's there.
Happens to me also. I Googled it to make sure I'm not the only one. I was starting to think I had the beginning signs of Parkinsons. It's good to know I'm not the only one.
I've also noticed that there are times when the auto-suggest does not work. If you stop typing for a few seconds it comes back. And I've also had a problem with the keyboard not responding as fast I am typing and I have to slow down so it can keep up.
Did you try downloading a different keyboard from the market?
Yeah I'm actually using a downloaded gingerbread keyboard from the market. It just happens often enough to slow down my texting.
myTouch4G+Custom ROM
Yes, this is a frustrating reoccurring issue. Sometimes it'll even give you double letters of two of the first letters in a word, for example, "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when it happens to only two letter words, like "to" for example, which results in "I'm going toto the movies."
I've filed a report with Google, so please visit the link and star and add your own testimony if you wish. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I even made a video demonstrating the problem to show Google. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk
Smart Keyboard Pro was my solution. Got tired of always getting "toto" when I type "to." And I also always get the doubt first letter on the word.
I'm on an epic 4g and I have this problem also. If you turn on the language packs when you push space bar and a quickly it wont register the "a". This problem doesn't occur nearly as often when typing with the language packs off. Just another thing to add to the complaint ;-)
When browsing the marketplace, installing an app and then going back my scrolled position in the marketplace is lost. This is very frstrating and makes browsing and installing from the marketplace a pain.
Am I missing something?
Cheers, John
Same here. Another issue: I can search and find apps to install (for instance "Root Explorer" that I wanted to use to replace wpa_supplicant) but when I click the link to view the details and install it, I get a dialog that says the detailed view can't be found. If I click OK, it goes back to the search results. If I instead click back, I can read the detailed view, but clicking "Install" results in it telling me the application can't be found. Looks like Google is blocking the app.
+1 same problem here! (Using the tablet outdoors and I must say the feeling is great but....the screen is awful!!!! I can see my every detail reflected in the screen ...lol)
By the way is there no way to comment or rate an app from the market app???
Is there perhaps a way of installing the gingerbread marketplace app?

I've been having the same problem today. Lots of Apps in the market seem to be giving this response but if you try and see the details of and install a featured app then there's no problem. I think the Android Market may be having a few issues today. Try using the Android Market website instead, worked for me.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I'll give that a go, thanks
yeah I noticed the same thing
I would also like to know where to rate and comment on apps
I hate it loses position on back. I like to browse through the app list to what is available for us honeycomb users but the fact that it goes back to the start makes this a pain in the *ss.
i agree, this is horrible, especially when browsing a long list. The marketplace is pretty average all round really.
Would it be too much to ask for a dedicated tablet section?
Just chiming in agreeing that this is a real pita.
Another +1 for the position loss on back being a pain in the ass, especially if you've just scrolled through 400 or so apps only to have to scroll through them again.
+1 here as well. I'd also love to see a section in the market just for the newest apps. I still can't figure out how to comment or rate anything there either. Some of the stuff I have tried and had to just uninstall I would love to be able to comment on. Any suggestions?
I use the online site
Regarding rating apps, here's what I've found:
Menu + Purchase History
Click the name - pick to open with browser
Rate it from the browser.
Yeah, it sucks. Honeycomb fail.
+1 on losing position in the marketplace when going back to it from an app page - very frustrating. I've also had numerous occasions when an app wouldn't properly download or install - the animated bar would continue but no notifications would show up and/or the install would fail leading to the animated bar on the app page continuing to animate but no progress. Going back then finding the app again then going into the app page and clicking install again seems to be the only way to kick start it.
This one's somewhat hard to explain..
When typing an email in the Samsung's email app (NOT the gmail) I get these bugs:
- First of all, app itself is fast, typing is nice and fast, what u'd expect.
- When taping on the screen to change the cursor position - it takes about 1 second each time for it to actually respond and move cursor. Just an annoying lag for some reason. Happens all the time.
- Once I typed the text, say I want to change something - I tap somewhere in the text, wait for cursor to actually appear there, then I start typing/backspacing - cursor immediately jumps to the last character in the email. So I can't actually change anything I typed in - I have to backspace all the way to that place, change it, then retype everything from that point on. This problem is intermittent, but is incredibly stupid and frustrating as hell.
Anybody got these issues? Any idea what's causing these?
PS: Happened on VillainROM and on Cognition. Both with Nenph. and SpeedMod kernels.
It happens in all browsers i tried as well, with all keyboards i tried
Only happens in email app for me. Opera browser is fine..
I wonder if it has to do with the fact that email.apk is deodexed
I'm stock and use the e-mail app with Exchange. I haven't had any of the issues you described and I'm a pretty heavy e-mail user. I'm on KF3.
I have the problem too.
It hasn't mattered what ROM or Kernel combination I've run, it always plays silly buggers!
Exactly as you describe, once you begin to type in the body of the email, it becomes very difficult to edit what you've written without deleting it all (including the email signature).
The email app is the only place I have this problem, everywhere else is fine.
I'm sorry I can't give you any indication of how to remedy it, however I'll be keeping a close eye this!
I have this problem too but only with swype keyboard and only in the stock email app. I'm on the stock rom from the bell canadian gs2.
the way around it i've found.. click once on the word you want to edit, then hit the swype key and either choose from the list of words swype gives you or start typing.
its pretty damn annoying though.. i hope there is a proper fix

I don't even have swype installed, and I have this problem..
It must be something in the app itself, I think
Bump, if I may ..
Really looking for a solution to this problem =(
If you swype from the blue S directly to the right, you get a swype cursor pad up and can move the cursor much easier that way without having to delete everything u typed!

Scrolling doesn't work properly in some apps. For exampls, whatsapp doesn't auto scroll or smooth scroll, meaning you have to start from the top every time you open a chat. The news widget after opening the stories, scrolling is really weird too, can't scroll up and it's hard to get it to scroll at all. Investigating the whatsapp scroll issue some had problems that they found were OS related. Any reason scrolling doesn't work like it should in some apps and any way to fix it?
And that's not the complete list...
Opera, adv viewer, Evernote, Read It Later...
Anything that needs a scroll misbehaves, so yes, it is an nook firmware issue.
I found some supposed solution on this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814826&highlight=htmlviewer+apk), replacing the HTMLViewer.apk but it simply didn't worked.
The only workaround I've found, is to use the no-refresh, but even so, some times the scroll misbehaves.

The worst problem is when programs refresh, the scroll goes all the way back to the top, making you scroll through the entire chat history every few seconds, which makes google voice app almost unusable for long conversations. Similar with whatsapp.
