I have this weird recurring problem with the stock keyboard. Every once in a while I'll be sending a text, or browsing the web, or sending an email, and part of the keyboard will change on me. It's not consistent, or at least it doesn't appear to be. below is a picture of the issue.
And yes, not having the enter key can be quite annoying at times.
Anyone also having this random issue? or at least have ideas on how to correct it?

Thx for the suggestion. I'll post if it works or not!
Hangouts and WhatsApp and BBM keyboards change ever so slightly, must be for ease of typing smileys and such. mine is the same
I thought it was something to do with text apps, or apps that took advantage of things like emotes etc... but it was happening while typing in Web browsers, doing searches in youtube, even writing emails.
As per suggestions, I did a cleared the cache/data on the keybaord, but right away I was still having the issue resurface. So I've done a complete reset of phone and not enabled the personal data option. So far it seems fine, but we'll have to see. I actually like the stock keyboard (surprisingly), and would hate to have to install a 3rd party one.
I'm actually surprised I like so much of the stock installed software. Nothing like my original note, when I installed 3rd party apps to replace almost everything.

Hi guys, I've been searching the Web for a while now for this problem and I hope I'm not the only one with it. But since yesterday when I'm on gallery the preview at the bottom of the screen doesn't disappear! If you play a video the play buttons don't go anywhere either. Is there anyone else with this issue?

Yep, same here. I was about to make a thread for it, but found yours. The preview at the bottom, and toolbar at the top NEVER disappear, no matter what I've tried. Also, when making photo selections, a woman's voice tells me that the "check box is checked" I can't find that setting anywhere either. Super annoying.
What the deuce?
Haha even restarts don't help =/ and yeah the woman is hilarious but creepy! I would love to ask Samsung but would have no idea where to start!

Someone's gotta know a fix for this? I'm not aware of any other phone doing it...

I was having this exact same problem and finally figured out what was causing it, at least for me. I installed NoLED and turned it on under accessibility. I didn't realize the connection at the time but then I noticed that the top and bottom overlays in the gallery wouldn't go away. I also got the freaky voice, even when opening websites. Somehow I correlated the issue as to having started after I installed NoLED. After I uninstalled it my gallery sent back to normal. It was either an issue with the app or having given it access under accessibility. Hope this helps.

Gallery works fine on my S4. I have several 100 pictures on it in lots of different folders, and it works great for all of them. Video playback is fine too, FWIW.

Well I've had lightflow installed since day one... So I didn't even uninstall it, just turned it off in accessibility. Yup, gallery is fine now. Odd glitch.

same problem here...
it's not just lightflow, it's for every app that you activate in the accessibility menu
strange
That is pretty weird. Should of known it was light flow! Is there any way to report this to Samsung? At least we have found the fix. Thank you guys a lot!

I seem to have an issue an I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar problem or knows a fix. Basically the stock browser keeps hanging while loading Web pages. It seems to wait a bit longer than normal before loading pages more often than not. It happens both on wifi an hsdpa. I've noticed chrome doesn't have the issue at al. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Same goes with my s4 guys. Blame samsung fir this. Also, how is the tab opening;switching time on note 3?

Slightly off topic but how the heck do you do a rollover on a button? In any browser? I like the stock browser but I hate having to long press on a button then hit back on the soft key to get it to work! I'm no iFan but I do have to commend apple on getting that one thing right. Why does it take these android devs so long to figure this out lol.
I think the main issue is with android fragmentation, where as Apple only have their iDevices.. Gives them more control.
Op I get my note 3 later, will test it out and try a few solutions.. Hopefully there's a silly fix somewhere as I was planning on using stock browser as it's always performed well!! Have you tried dolphin? That's a quick snappy browser imo.

Played with he browser for the past half hour... Everything is fluid, fast, no delays... Smooth as butter. Very impressed!! Especially the new look for tab switching.
Are you still experiencing or has it sorted itself out?

Is there a way to save pages for offline reading? This feature was in Note 2's stock browser.
Also, is there a way to sync desktop browser bookmarks like on Chrome? Thx.

I've been playing with the stock browser for the last day or so since getting this phone. Super smooth and fast. No hiccups or laggy periods. And I also agree the new tab switching is nice compared to older versions I've used (I came from a note 1). The only gripe I have is that you can't seem to load new tabs in background. Now, every time I open a new tab, it loads upon top. Irritating, although I'll have to get used to it.

What about kinetic scrolling? Is it as responsive as note 2? Also I am experiencing this annoying issue when I click on a picture on facebook mobile website it is displayed in very small size. Chrome does not have this issue neither does the stock browser on note 2

Also something that anoyes me a lot in the note 3 is the auto fit pages.. It seems to have disappeared even in chrome. Really a bummer .. With this gorgeous screen you are left out with pages that you have to slide from side to side to be able to read a zoomed page :banghead:

Step away from the Stock Browser would be my suggestion. Ive been using Chrome and havent had any issues. There are other browsers that have been tested and proved great performance

You did look at the description right?
There's a few little apps that are small in kb's installed for various things. Wouldn't really call them bloatware since they're used for different things the phone does - Printing etc also. - I wouldn't worry too much.
I don't see the fascination removing every concievable app from your phone - Just buy a Nokia Asha if you want basic. - Again it's like having a Ferrari and driving at 20MPH incase you go to fast and the engine heats up.

Lol I'm sorry but your comparison doesn't make sense... These apps don't enhance anything. It's just Sammy'S policy of throw a lot of [email protected]*@t at the wall and see what sticks.

Its actually very handy app when combined with Beep'nGo... Second app allows to store all the loyalty cards used in Tesco or Sainsburys. I used to use Stocard but barcodes displayed on a screen weren't read by old laser scanners. This app beams barcode and there is no problem anymore...

There's a lot of useful stuff on it. That a lot of people use. And as I said, it's not as if an app that is a few KB's can do anything bad, or be called bloatware. It's like having Notepad on your Windows PC - I don't use it, doesn't mean others won't find it useful.

I have downloaded this game on my SM-N9005 with 4.4.2. When I click on play I have force closed. I have tried many rom with full wipe but it doesn't solve my problem. Do you know solutions or any ideas? thanks

I guess it's a 4.4.2 problem. I'm still on 4.3 and it's working a like a charm here
I did buy it tho, maybe you didn't?

A lot of apps, particularly games, force close on 4.4.2.
Something to do with the (lack of) write permissions to external SD, if I recall correctly.
It is closing on selecting anything from the main menu on HTC One + Android 4.4.2. I'm waiting for a refund now.
