Annoying when replying to post on XDA - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When replying to a post on XDA from my Note 3, the cursor in the reply windows keeps jumping about. It doesnt go where I want it to go. Im trying to put the cursor after the '[/QUOTE]' tag but it keeps jumping back up to the middle of the post!
The stock browser is worse than Chrome as in the stock browser, when trying to select text, the cursor is jumping around like its on a pogo stick!

Clear cache from the apps. Close it and try again.

Just install the XDA app or Tapatalk.

I prefer the website tbh

Same issue Samsung stock browser is pretty crap. HTC stock browser is far better.
One solution you could try is revert back to xda classic view that will solve cursor issue.

Try changing the browser type to XDA 2013 Beta 1024. Very bottom of the page, left hand side.

[Q] Laggy Browser

Hello to all,
I noticed that the browser became laggy, i can't scroll smooth. It's not on every page but it is on XDA (for example).
When I bought the tablet it was working better.
Anyone has the same issue?
Same thing here. Especially on XDA.
This perfomance drop is due to poor javascropt support on all honeycomb tablets.
Not fixed with 3.1 as per the xoom and tf forums so dont hold your breathe. Here the real issue is not your tablet but it is googles OS.

try running in desktop mode. in the address bar type "about:debug", thn go to settings,debug,uastring, and change to desktop
also scroll to the bottom of the XDA page.
And switch it from XDA 2010 to XDA classic.
Classic doesn't look as nice, but it is a ton smoother.

No, just after each reboot. Which is still a pain and is something that really should have been addressed. This issue was present in Android 2.2 and should not have been allowed to creep over into Honeycomb.

Selecting text needs some work

Trying to select text in the browser definitely needs some refinement.
It's very buggy and difficult.

One has to get used to it. Don't know the official procedure, but long pressing on some text and setting the markers manually always works for me.
I've been to several sites where the markers jump all over the place. It tends to happen quite often if the paragraph or sentence has a mixture of text and hyperlinks.

Its wonky.
Old winmo and iOS still best at it.
Stupid arrow jumps all over and often cant be aligned correctly to the word I want.
Perhaps the browsers awful rendering of some pages is whats at fault. Since text input as a whole just slows to a crawl on some sites.

ICS Touch Screen Issues

I see this issue on ALL APPS and DIFFERENT LAUNCHERS.
I cant scroll properly when using quickpic or changing screens on lauchers only does it on ICS. Running STOCK. Does not do this when I go back to gingerbread but while on ics its annoying
Can't say that I've had this issue. The only time that my touch screen acts wonky is when the charger is plugged in, then it acts very odd sometimes.

You mean you can't scroll at all or what?

I found Force GPU rendering to use 2D hardware acceleration in applications but it didnt change anything
its not lag that I am having. Its issues with say when swiping through pics in the gallery or quickpic where scrolling just sucks
I responded in another post by you (best GB rom or something) and asked why you wanted to change to GB.
ICS is very smooth swiping up down, left right, on any ICS rom. Not laggy at all. However I do have an issue with one app regarding sideway scrolling, but that is a UK specific app, and the dev knows about it. Quickpic scrolling is super smooth for me, and so is on Apex, Nova and my preferred choice, GoLauncher.

i mean everything is EXTREAMLY smooth. It just acts up. When moving faster it kinda acts up and glitches like going up it will sometimes go down. I know its not an issue with MY note as it does it with my AT&T version too

If I go slow everything is fine. But when going fast its very annoying, it doesnt happen on Gingerbread
Lick I can flick my finger fast sometimes and it will go SLOW as well
i hear you man..same issues here..thats why im back on the silky stock rooted gb.....same thing you say...it is smooth, but its glitchy when scrolling everywhere...noticed the same thing
one more thing, why couldnt they stick to the beautiful gb rotation animation in ics?in ics rotation is a bit choppy, you'll notice it particularly when exiting from apps from the landscape mode to the launcher( eg: mx player)...
so back on good old gb for now

Android Apps that use Air View

Does anyone else know of any apps that take advantage of airview? I haven't had much luck. Here's a list of what I have.. I can try and keep it updated, but no promises.
[stock] Email
[stock] Messaging
[stock] Gallery
[stock] Calendar
[stock] Internet browser
Flipboard
Calendar does as well. You can hover over appointments, etc.

I heard Samsung was going to release the apk(?), so now I guess we wait and see if any of the big name devs pick up on it.

Toolkit* lol
Yeah that.
It would be nice to see this incorporated into a Web browser and home launcher. Hover over a folder to see contents, hover over messaging icon to see last few messages, etc. It could be infinitely handy in a browser though.
I can't remember where I read they would release the toolkit(!), and I haven't seen confirmation from Samsung on it, but it would be nice.

The manual actually says that it works in "Web browser" (does not say which one) to zoom in on parts of screen.
I've never tried it as I don't like the stock client, but what I'm interested in is hovering over text to expand a list. That would be great.

It works in the stock samsung web browser, of course you have to enable it in air gestures.
I think its on the bottom?
When you hover over text it will give you a little pop up zoom in of the text, similar to when you press somewhere with more than one link and a pop up appears so you can make a more precise link click.

Ah, you're right, it works on the stock browser, allows for text zooming.

Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 has air gestures too
I think this thread is about Air View, the feature you see in Gallery if you hover your finger over a category. I've accidentally glitched it to be forced ON for all apps on my S5 for about 2 hours. (Went away after a reboot... ) It worked EVERYWHERE. Chrome (mouseover menus on websites!!!) and Google Launcher (only got tooltips for long app names, nothing else) to name just a couple. I'm thinking that Samsung just triggers part of Android's built-in USB mouse code... Maybe we can duplicate my accident with Xposed...?

LG keyboard suggestion problem

Noticed a problem with the stock keyboard. Many times if I go to click one of the suggested words on top it puts a totally different word in the text field, usually the word isn't even one that was on the list.
Anyone else notice this?

Try to turn all settings off like the auto correct etc and then turn on each one after testing them one by one..see if that helps:silly:

I love the keyboard with the numbers always being on top, makes it so convenient and its just my favorite but. I don't see an option to let you backspace to erase the whole word with once click if you change your mind or just put the wrong word up, I can't stand having to hold the backspace all the way through it. So I'm using Swiftkey for now which is an awesome keyboard but doesn't have that dedicated number pad along the top but actually has many features that I don't care about and tons of themes too. I hope someone tells me that backspace setting is under my nose so I can use the LG one hehe. :silly:

Yea I thought I'd be able to place the number keys up top when I purchased swift key but it won't. I much rather prefer the numbers up top.

Yeah I love the top row as well, and it generally does a good job but does get stupid some times. I usually use the Google keyboard or Swype but have liked the lg one for now, just giving it a chance.

Did you ever find a solution to this? It's maddening. I tap the word I want and some completely random word that wasn't even close to what I tapped (and wasn't in the list of suggestions) shows up in the text box. I have searched and searched and you are the first person I've found who has had the same issue. I love everything else about the keyboard so I'd rather not switch to a different one!
Come on peeps, #1 app in the play store for months now. SwiftKey is the best keyboard out there. Stock is a bad keyboard.
