Ever since 4.3 update S4 stock browser no longer has history button in settings. It shows all other options like print, brightness, desktop view, incognito mode, find on page, etc.. but no history.
So my question is How do you access history?? I like using stock browser. Any way I can do it via address bar like in chrome (chrome:history)??
Maybe there is history log text file somewhere within root/data/data/browser.apk?? Im fully rooted but see nothing
Ahem, pressing and holding back button doesn't do anything
Any help is urgently needed and will be appreciated
Thanks

Press the bookmarks button in the top right corner and you should see a history tab on the right.

Stupid question I know, but when you open the browser, is there no one click other than opening bookmarks that will just go to your homepage, and also is there a refresh button?
I've not been able to find either. The lack of refesh is very annoying when you are looking at thing like football results.
no, as shown in another thread, there is no home button. like you said, use bookmarks, or open a new window. Daft but that's what were stuck with at the moment.
As for refresh button, yes there is.
press menu to show the address bar at the top, and on the right of the address bar is a button that changes from refresh (when a page is loaded) to stop (while a page is loading)
Thanks..
Strange they let you set up and change the homepage but not the most basic function of getting there. As most of the time it's left on the last page you were on and doesn't revert to home? Oh well. Another one for the updates.
As a sidenote, how do you guys feel about the applications you download having access to :
Phone calls, read phone state
Hardware controls
Network Communications, full internet access
etc
etc
Why would something like Shazam need all this info about phone calls in particular
I have igoogle as my homepage,all i do is put a shortcut for igoogle from bookmarks on my homescreen and use that as my browser.

re: capacitive search fucntion
i have my browser settings for view in "mobile" mode checked to off. when i first got my EVO and did a search either via the search page in sense OR through the capacitive search button my results always came back in "classic google" view format. at some point though, something changed. now, no matter what setting i have on my broswer view settings ALL search results come back strangely formatted with most of the images missing from the screen. i wish i could use shootme to post a photo, but after the update, it's not working. but if i go back into settings and change the view to check "view mobile" then it will format correctly in "mobile" view mode.
i like using classic mode, does anyone know what went wrong? or is anyone exp the same issue? even if i go to the bottom of the page and click "classic" it doesn't stay that way when i do a new search.
any ideas?
I find the search button that takes you directly to Bing obtrusive, is there any way of de-activating it or using it for another function?
Than you
do you can give us the registry key
i could like use it at people key
thank u
I hope in future it will be possible to deactivate button, if application doesn't support search.
Most of the times, I click it accidentally.
same problem here...
hate the search key ;-)
I find it super obtrusive to be honest - especially in landscape mode - 8 out of 10 IE viewing in landscape finishes by accidently pressin search and not being able to go back!
Anyone with an idea how to switch it off?
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
I so wish these buttons were real hardware buttons, so that going near them wouldn't take me away from a game which takes a minute to then re-load. Grr
Agreed - the search key sucks. You don't search much, and you always seem to hit it by accident.
Personally would love to turn it off, or turn it to a long key-press, then at least you won't hit it accidently.
Probably some registry-settings can do this.
I like it... I like how it's used by different applications to search just those applications (email, IMDB, etc). Yes, I sometimes press it by accident, but I can just press Back and I'm back where I was...

not true...
I just made my test again.
Open IE - go to a website, then press Search that redirects you to bing and when you press back - you re not on your original website but back to the menu...
search buttons sucks...

For me it goes back to IE
Edit: unless you mean after you've actually done a search?
that is really strange but no - I did not perform any search.
I feel it has to do smth with my location settings or some other settings that are mysterious to me.
I noticed that since playing with location settings to access the marketplace which is still not available in my country - I changed the location to UK, but IE search setting to my locale - When I press the search button I am not redirected to a nice bing search page with the fullscreen background picture but rather to bing's web address (and the displayed picture only takes 40-50% of the screen and is too small to enter anything without zooming in).
This could be the case with my problem.
Anyway - still hate the search button and would love someone to find a cure for it ;-)
not rooted and on the latest update
Ive noticed that there are times when i hit the back button on the browser, it will take me back 2 pages instead of the previous page.
Say for example im on google's home page. I look something up, find and click a link.. once i hit the back arrow (either on the browser app or tablet arrow), it will take me all the way back to the google home page..
anyone notice this before? am i missing an option?
thanks
I am trying to remove the 'exit' prompt when hitting the back key. The FAQ at their website says go to Menu/More/Settings to turn off the prompt. Problem is that I can't find Menu/More/Settings. Where is it?
Hit the system menu button at the bottom left of the screen. Go into settings (you might not have to hit "More"), change settings.
Entropy,
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry for being so slow but I do not see any menu button at the bottom left of the screen. When I bring up the Dolphin browser I have a left arrow for back, a up arrow that brings up the tablet home page, a layered rectangle that brings up a graphical column that has My Apps, Team Stream, Gmail, Google Search, and Settings.
If I hit Settings I do not get a "More". The last icon at the lower left, a rectangle grid brings up the a bottom six options; refresh, bookmarks, toolbar, forward, exit, and uh-oh "more". Oops! There it is. Found exit settings and fixed the problem. Thank you very much.
lmao!
Glad you got it! Totally got a chuckle out of that stream of consciousness style there lol
Where is the Thanks button?
Get the dolphine browser for tablets.
Good luck

Below each post - if you don't see it you need to hit the user cp and change your theme, I think
Brilliant, so goodto know there is at least one other person out there that is as slow as me at spotting the obvious. Now if I can just find someone with the inability to saty polite when drunk then I've had a good day.

I tried dolphin for tablets but it was blurry. It didn't look good. I looked through the options to see if there was a way to fix it but I couldn't find anything.

Hey Gmfeny, did you get you random wifi disconnects sorted... I read that you used the wifi analyzer (where did you find that..?) and then at your womans pad, it started working. What is the latest. Later on.
