A very strange thing started happening in the last few days. BTW, I am running stock 2.1, rooted, nothing much exotic done to my phone besides that.
I use the stock browser and the way YouTube videos have always been displayed is with a still image that has a "play" arrow icon in it. Once I clicked this, the YouTube app would take over and do a pretty good job playing the video. At worst, I would first be sent to the YT mobile site and would launch the video app from clicking there.
But now, in the stock browser Google Reader site (formatted for mobile) the videos have taken a flash-like appearance, which messes up the mobile page formatting, and when I click it, a lower-res and far choppier version plays! I am not sure if this is only happening on Reader or on all sites yet. (I can try to take a screen capture if it helps you.) Now if I'm not mistaken, there's supposed to be no flash support until 2.2, and I made no deliberate changes to cause this. The videos look like crap, are formatted badly on mobile pages, and unchecking the plugins option in the browser just replaces them with a black square I can't do anything with.
Anyone else seen this, and maybe have any idea what's happened and how to make it go back to the way it was?
you should try another browser besides the default you wont go back lol
i don't have this problem on dolphin hd
Anyone have a suggestion *not* involving switching browsers?
I had the same issue and I just cleared browser defaults and it cut it out.
(As a note, I have switched to dolphin mini and love it, waaaay better than stock browser. Liked opera too.)
Epic is as Epic does

Was worth a try, but no change. Have figured out how to launch the app by clicking on the window again, although oddly enough Google Reader no longer does *anything* now when clicking on the video image. I'm not against trying an alternative so will check out Dolphin anyhow. Thanks.
Hi folks,
I just registered here but I have been lurking in this forum for a few months now. ( I laughed hard at the terms and conditions video btw)
Anyway, I just got myself a new i9500.
One quick question, I find that the airview works perfectly well on the gallery, calendar, and when viewing videos. However, when I'm trying to hover messages in the default messaging app (i'm using chomp sms by the way) I find that it doesnt work on all conversations. I mean, it would only show previews for some specific conversations. Also in the default music player, when I browse for music in folder view, I find that airview doesnt work on the very top folder. Everything else, I can get a preview on.
I've tried restarting the phone, turning off and on air gesture and everything, but its still the same. To me, it looks like a software issue. Has someone observed the same thing in their phones?
Thanks!
you will only be able to use air view when the message lenth is bigger small messages which is seen completly without hovering wont be using airview feature hope that helps

you said you are on default, but then say you are using chomp? im confused.
so does air view work on chomp sms??
Sorry, I got you confused there. I meant I'm now using chomp sms. Anyway I figured it out now, it will only work when the text message is actually longer than what the screen can display.
google just announced android kit kat 4.4
most important thing to notice that it is meant for low end devices with ram of 512 mb and up.
so there is every possibility that it will be on our grand........may be samsung wil lbless us with it..??
feature of kitkat
Beautiful & Immersive
A more polished design, improved performance, and new features.
Just say “Ok Google”
You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.
A work of art
While listening to music on your device, or while projecting movies to Chromecast, you’ll see beautiful full-screen album and movie art when your device is locked. You can play, pause, or seek to a specific moment.
Immerse yourself
The book you're reading, the game you're playing, or the movie you're watching — now all of these take center stage with the new immersive mode, which automatically hides everything except what you really want to see. Just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.
Faster multitasking
Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by optimizing memory and improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately than ever before. This means that you can listen to music while browsing the web, or race down the highway with the latest hit game, all without a hitch.
Smart & Simple
Google smarts improve every corner of the Android experience.
The future is calling
The new phone app automatically prioritizes your contacts based on the people you talk to the most. You can also search for nearby places and businesses, your contacts, or people in your Google Apps domain.
A smarter caller ID
Whenever you get a call from a phone number not in your contacts, your phone will look for matches from businesses with a local listing on Google Maps.
All your messages in the same place
Never miss a message, no matter how your friend sends it. With the new Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS messages are together in the same app, alongside your other conversations and video calls. And with the new Hangouts, you can even share your location and send animated GIFs.
Emoji everywhere
Sometimes words can’t express how you feel. For that, there’s Emoji, the colorful Japanese characters, now available on Google Keyboard.
Grab & Go
New features help you get things done while you’re on the move.
Print wherever, whenever
Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages from your phone or tablet. You can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print, to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store.
Pick a file, any file
From apps like Quickoffice, you can open and save files on Google Drive, other cloud storage services, or your device. And with quick access to recently used files, it's easier than ever to send the file you were just working on.
Your office, anywhere
Create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations from your phone or tablet with the newly redesigned Quickoffice
Don't think kit kat will come to Grand or any other phone than the premium flaship...
This is a commercial restriction and not hardware...unfortunately...

Hello Guys....
I've have been here since the Grand thread was a single general thread, so I've done and tried it all:
Here are the options for 4.2.2 on the Grand "L"
1. You CAN flash the OFFICIAL 4.2.2 for the 9082 BUT....you will loose 3G connectivity, it will only work on EDGE.
2. You CAN the CM10.1 Build as in my thread it will run the 3G networks fine, BUT...you loose your second SIM slot.
That's it.
Regards,
Paul

Out of curiosity, what does the S4 stock browser do that is different and/or better than Chrome? The stock browser on the S3 didn't seem to do anything different than Chrome from what I could tell. Not sure if that is different on S4 as I skipped that one.

It plays embedded youtube videos without problem. Some on chrome have audio problems, either no audio or it comes out of the ear speaker instead of the rear. That's one thing I can think of that's better

Stock S4 Browser for S5
Well I like the ability to scroll through pages using the sensors like on the s4. I have enabled the hidden features that they have blocked on the s5 with Any Cut. I have shortcuts for Air gestures, Air view, Air wake up, Android beam, Motion settings, Smart Scroll, Download booster and Notification Access. Chrome is ok but I would like to side load the Stock Browser APK. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you
Chrome doesn't support Flash Player. Some web pages still use it, and it's annoying when I get a pop up saying I can't view something.
Hello just wondering if it is possible to replace the phone and contacts with something from stock...
I feel ya, I can't stand the dialer and contacts on TW. Only way at the moment is to install CM12, builds for the different variants can be found here on xda

Why not try "Rocketdial" at the play store.
It's excellent and it's a 3 in 1 app.
It has contacts, dialer and optional full screen caller id all in one app.
It has a whole lot of options too. ( fully compatible on all android phones.
Check it out here:

Have a happy new year!
i am using ExDialer since almost a year now... i find TW dialer app boring...
I find that all these dialer apps simply overlay on top and route to the the TW dialer anyway. I tried a few of them.
I have used rocket dial, exdialer, angel dialer, and some other 2 or three, very disappointed, horrible lags, in some cases, first appears the stock dialer, then the replacement, yes, I think, they are redrawn over the stock one, so, its worst to use them for me
Try touchpal contacts or contacts+. Anyway for me iprefer the default dialer. It has a lot of functions
