[Q] Browser?

If you of you guys currently have you nexus 7, can you tell me how well the browser performs, and while you are at it can you try websites like engadget,com or theverge.com and see if you have any lag on those websites. Thanks

Anything else we can test for you?

well, that is my main concern at this point, and if you do have your nexus, i would gladly like you to try this thanks.

By browser I assume you mean Chrome. I don't experience lag with those sites in particular but I have noticed an occasional tic when scrolling in general even in this app

Thanks, and do you have 4.1.1, cause i hear that helps a little bit. Is that tic annoying by any chance or not really?

Chrome performs really well in my opinion, no complaints. Any browser in particular you were interested in?

Well from the early review it was flaky and not smooth apparently, but good to know that is works great!, if I am not mistaken dolphin supports flash? Can you try out performance on dolphin, thanks

Questions go in the Q&A section

Is there a video anywhere of the browser's performance?

Chrome in landscape
I've got a similar question that I'd like to pose.
I'm currently quite disappointed in where the nav bar is placed when using Chrome in landscape mode. See the screenshot below.
{
"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"
}
For whatever reason, the nav bar is placed horizontally along the bottom. This uses up a lot of the valuable vertical viewing space, leading to a lot more scrolling in websites than I would have expected.
Below is a screenshot of Chrome in landscape mode on my Galaxy Nexus. There, Google smartly moves the nav bar to the right, to save vertical space for the browser.
Is there any way to force the nav bar on the Nexus 7 to the vertically to the right like it is on the Galaxy Nexus? It's silly that I can view more of the same website on a 4.65" phone screen than I can on a higher-resolution 7" tablet.

if not out yet there will surely soon be a hide nav bar app or setting built for this device. Dont sweat the small stuff. Enjoy your NEW TOY. it will soon become obsolete as all new gadgets

Has anyone tried Boat Browser on it? I love Boat on my Prime and Boat Browser Mini on my Evo.

Numbers missing in top row of jelly bean keyboard?

I've searched high and low and can't figure out why no one has mentioned that the numbers are missing from the top row of the jelly bean keyboard. Does no one miss being able to long press for numbers? Is there some setting I am missing to bring them back?

I like that little button

I find this quite annoying as well. Especially when inputting passwords that require numbers and letters.

@asovse1 had you changed settings/installed a 'phone-based' kb? that is not the default kb on my device

This is the only reason I installed swiftkey and swype. I fell out love with swype a long time ago but the new version is a lot better (I wonder when they are going to take it out of beta status)

Oh crap, you guys are right, I just realized that this isn't the stock Jelly Bean keyboard.
It's the stock Jelly Bean keyboard MODDED by Paul O'Brien from my Jr2 custom ROM. Sorry guys.
BUT if you guys want, this JB keyboard looks like is has numbers on it, give it a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.bean_keyboard

Samsung Browser "Reader" feature

I just noticed this feature on the stock Samsung browser that comes with the Note n7100. I hadn't seen this feature talked about before in any review. There's an icon in the web address field that enables "reader mode". It basically gets rid of everything around the text and fits it to the screen for perfect reading.

There are also some way to join this Reader function with some app like flipboard or Zite... So you cab read it in flipboard style
That makes it even cooler

I think you're talking about when you press the menu key and then select share. That has been around this is not what I'm talking about, but also very cool.

Nope im not talking about that im talking about accessing flipboard via the reader option on url bar

Does anybody know if it would be possible to set the Reader background color to sepia instead of white ? I find it more eye friendly.

The only option I found for changing the background is inverting screen rendering. This can be found in the accessibility menu inside the browser settings. What it does is changes white for black and viceversa.

Why every time I try and view a picture in my gallery, the menu bar or whatever you want to call it never disappears. Even after taping the picture
Like

when I pull up a photo with the stock gallery app it shows the menu bar you are referring to, then a second tap makes it go away, & a third tap brings it back

Yep. One tap SHOULD make it go away.

Unfortunately this seems to be a widespread problem. From what I've seen it has to do with the "accessibility"settings. I had the same problem when I installed NoLED and gave it permission under accessibility. After I turned off the accessibility feature everything went back to normal. Hope that helps.

If the status bar is gone you can swipe down from the top of the phone/earpiece and the statusbar will come back, and if you swipe up on it it will go back again. Only on a TouchWiz ROM, but it works in all apps.

I don't think it is the app so much as it is having given it permission under accessibility but I could be wrong.

Is this your first Android tablet? To resize your ezpdf widget press and hold down for a couple seconds, then choose Resize.

Noob questions thread
I think this should be re-named NOOB Questions Thread, but being new to Samsung and stylus input (I've only used the wife's Nexus a bit before, and my office is still on blackberry) the simple Qs, and patience of users to answer them, have been helpful. I was definitely getting frustrated with my magazines, because that upward swish should have been opening Google search. I'll be killing magazines and see how that goes. To me, magazines belong int he google play store.
I would sure appreciate a google experience version of the 10.1. Samsung offering their pen add-ons as apps rather than a modified OS would be an improvement. But I'm quite happy so far, and the help on this and similar threads is most appreciated.

It is my first Android tablet...thanks for the responses, but none was my answer...
If you use ezPDF and make a sticky note on the PDF, the size of the icon of the sticky note is so small!! I wanted to see if we could make that bigger, but I don't think there's is a way...

Thanks on the freeze/stop advice, but it looks like root is required to remove entirely. I keep triggering the silly MyMag screen when I really want google search which is what I expect an upward swipe from home will give me.

^ you can also move your google search widget somewhere in the middle...but really, it's annoying when I hit the home button it switches to my magazine
