Smart features - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi, anyone know if it's possible to incorporate the smart features to a browser other than Samsung browser? I really want to use them on chrome since that's what I use

As far as I can see, there really isn't any way. I also use chrome and would like to use smart scroll.
If I had to guess, Samsung baked the features into the browser. It doesn't seem to be universal at all.

[Q] Note 10.1 port for Nexus 10?

Has anyone heard any news at all about a possible Note 10.1 port for N10? I'm waiting for some of that MULTI-WINDOW love on this beast of a machine. I've Google searched to no avail and have been scouring the various developer forums over countless websites in search of this white whale. Some has got to be working on this. If I knew how, I would be.

The multi windows is so buggy... just by watching some of the reviews it doesn't work half the time, or not in the way that the user wants it to work - switching between the apps is good enough for me.
I only asked asked about it because I am a college student and would love to have my chemical equations pdf open in one window while I'm inputing stats into the calculator side by side.

Plus, I know it won't be as simple as porting the multi-window function. The entire touchwiz sytle rom would have to be ported.

You can give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite
It's not exactly what you want, but close to it. Also a multiwindow browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appestry.split_browser_trial
I saw that... So i guess maybe one day...

Nice. This at least allows me to use the calculator while I'm viewing my PDF. Limited though it may be, it works.

There was a thread somewhere about this, from a guy who was starting to work on it and wanted a hand. I don't have the link for it but I think the development was called Cornerstone, could try googling that?

Browser Sounds

Is there a way to disable the annoying sounds from the stock browser like when I open a new page it says ' loading page'
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Either I am the only one who uses the stock browser or nobody else is annoyed by this??!!
I use dolphin. Its way better than stock. I hate the airview and eye scrolling crap that never works for me.

[OT] Why don't phone internet browsers work on XDA anymore??

I noticed about 4 months ago, Chrome on my S3 didn't like XDA.... So I used Firefox with no issues.
Then I had a LG Optimus G Pro (for about 1 week) with same results, so I used Firefox.
On my HTC One, neither Chrome or Firefox works on XDA, only the stock browser worked.
Now on my S4, I've tried all three and none of them work?
The page will load....... I can log in, but every time I scroll, the page reloads, which basically makes it unusable now...... Anybody else run into this problem?
Perhaps they are trying to get everyone to Tapatalk. It's a very good app.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 4
yup. Same issue here. I have about given up using my phone to browse XDA. I really dont want to buy an app just to browse an internet forum....
I found a free XDA app in the play store that'll work, you might give it a try?

I use the xda app its a really good app. I don't really like going on the site through mobile and having to make the page bigger it seems to be slower on webpages also.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
I use the xda app most of the time but dont have any issues using firefox or the stock browser to view it either?

AOSP browser
Fastest browser I've ever used.
Smoothest browser I've ever used.
Fash works flawlessly with it.
Quick controls ftw.
Havent had a FC yet. (Reliable)
The only issue I've ever had with AOSP is on some forums it weirds out and wont let you add attachments and the word selector acts trippy. But other than that AOSP is flawless.
Edit: Also just to add the interface is very lite and simple which is a plus for me.
Boat Browser Pro!

Are you having issues with it freezing? I sometimes have to FC it, and then it works fine.
I use firefox because of the bookmark sync issue with chrome.

No, not as of yet. There was a bug back on 4.2.2 that caused fc when fullscreen was activated but I havent had that issue in 4.3
Chrome Beta or Naked Browser.
Chrome because it syncs with all my other PCs that use Chrome and Naked Browser cause it is simply the fastest browser I have used.Not much on looks, just pure speed.
Internet browser is a tad faster but I prefer the latest version of Chrome version 30.0.1599.92 since it does a better job of correctly displaying some sites that the Internet browser has issues with and is also very smooth and stable now.
I use chrome and also I use android browser from the playstore. Its basically the browser we had on the note 2 which was great. The stock browser on the note 3 doesn't sign in with Google anymore. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Just search android browser in the play store.

So what's wrong with stock browser. .doesn't seem to crash like other browsers I've used...hmmm

Smart Scroll...any way to enable?

Is there any way to enable smart scroll function in the Verizon S5?
I read that it is disabled/not available in the verizon version, but is there some way to enable?
I am new to androids and mods/roms, but is there some hack or even an app out there to enable this?
Also, is there a way to enable the smart gesture features, like air browse in other apps, like chrome?
heres some features that should be on your s5 already. smart scroll was rediculously bad
