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.

Its also available on original Note, One X and all other current gen phones as far as i know
Yup its very useful...
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.

Thanks mate. Guess i'll stick to white then.

Market

I went to install an android app via the market on the internet and it doesn't list my Nexus? Probably because it's rooted, but how do I fix this? I've never had this issue with rooted phones before.

Mines rooted and running PA and it shows up in the Play Store. Are you sure you're signed into your google account and sync is on?

Which app?

It has nothing to do with root.

I don't know in your specific situation, but rooting the phone won't make it disappear from your devices in the Play Store.

Any idea how to fix it or if it's an issue with Google and not my phone?
Edit: not sure why but clearing the cache/market data fixed it

Best Buy has a test to check your touchscreen!!

Download the Geeksquad app. I watched him run the test in front of me.
It showed a horizontal dead spot one the upper portion of my screen.
I hate to say this guys, but the employees were aware of the problem and told me that they believe it is a hardware problem.
Don't shoot the messenger - It's what I was told.
They took it back outside of the 15 day return window and issued me a full store credit.
I'll wait and see how people like the new LG G Pad.
Good luck!!

Is this the app being referenced?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one

Could someone please post the apk, its not available in my country

For those in other countries, here is the apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ufx4z87z5l2ecq8/com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one-1.apk

Thanks for the apk. I just ran the test and all it let's me do is test 5 areas of the screen and multi touch in top third. Am I missing something because I don't see a full screen test.

Same here.

Sorry guys, been at work.
Turn the tablet horizontal and try to drag the screen all the way to the right upwards.....Mine did nothing...
The manager even came and checked it out.....then gave me the nod - YES!!!

I have just completed the touch screen fix and it worked! I also could not complete the Greek squad test holding it horizontally. I had ghost touches, dragging issues and now my touch screen works flawlessly.

Maybe it is software..... I have no idea, just the opinion of Best Buy employees.
I hope they fix it, I'll still never buy anything from Google or ASUS - terrible service.
They ran from the problem.

If you don't have any daily issues I recommend to not try this app, I don't have any issues overall with my n7 and don't want them either.
Don't look for the issues

Totally agree. I haven't noticed any issues with my N7 and don't want to, haha.

I'm not sure what I'm missing but the app doesn't do anything different when being held horizontally....

Figured it out........
Hit overflow menu, then press print, then save to PDF, then choose Drive. Too many steps, but that is how you get there.

Native app Sound Recorder shows in app settings but not in app drawer

Trying to put shortcut/icon on home screen but the Sound Recorder native app isn't anywhere to be found except under app settings "all". It's not disabled either. Help appreciated.

There isn't an actual app, the internal app is used for moto voice. U would need to download one from play store.

Ok cool thanks, my Galaxy S4 had a pre installed one, I just assumed!

If you use Google Keep, you should be able to use that without an extra app.

Ok I see that but it's more of a note taker for sound vs typing. I'm talking about a sound recorder that can record for extended lengths screen off. It's bizarre the app Sound Recorder is listed in the system apps but nowhere else.
