Hey guys, just wondering if you guys know how to disable the side zoom in Browser?
I noticed this first on JB roms based on leaks, but I don't remember if it was in ICS.
If you don't know what I mean, basically when you're using browser and navigating horizontally through a webpage, the very side of the device, left or right, will initiate a zoom function. I can only imagine it's a test to get around any possible pinch to zoom lawsuits.
However, it's really annoying! Couldn't find a setting.
hmm, now that I think about it i'll try about::config or one of those. I'll report back, please let me know if you all know how to disable! TY
No, it's on ICS too. It's in the Setting/Emotion.

How odd, I don't see it in the settings motion area.
Just bringing this thread back to see if anyone has a solution. I can't find a way to disable this in Settings/Motion either, and entirely turning motion off doesn't fix it. Really annoying to be happily scrolling around and suddenly have the page start resizing for no reason.
Nope, this is a new "feature"!
Will require decompiling and modding.
Im planning to look into it but not right away. If I get time this weekend ill see what I can do with it.

Was this ever done?
Anyone figure this out yet? This crap started with jellybean. Stock browser and Dolphin both do this stupid side zoom crap. Firefox and Opera don't. It's so annoying I actually might switch to Opera instead. Dolphin was the greatest but this 'feature' is radically annoying.

I'm not talking major lag, just a tiny bit when browsing the apps deck or widgets.
Yes, especially when scrolling through the Widget screens. Also had 2 Launcher force closes since flashing 4.0.2 Yesterday. Hope 4.0.3 will take care of that..
Yeah I noticed that as well... it's very slight, but it was noticeable for me right away.
Did you guys have yakju from the start? or switched over from another build?
I immediately noticed it with the keyboard. Slightly annoying .
Same here. GO Launcher is really bad. Stock is a bit "sticky" too.

You guys need to go into settings, into developer options and turn on " Force GPU rendering". It will speed things up.

Switched to the latest version of the 4.0.1 stock build, and things are back to normal again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head lol
I think I'm gonna wait it out with this image till google releases 4.0.3. Because they obviously broke something in 4.0.2 :S
the only lag Ive really experienced is with google voice commands. After hitting thehome screen button you have to wait a second before hitting the microphone- if you hit it right away nothing happens. Maybe a little lag with the keyboard in the firt 30-45 seconds the phones on but thats it for me. Now signal thats another issue and that ones annoying.

It has to do with the CPU governors, not everyone seems to be experiencing the lag issue which is weird. Got 15min left on mikes 2.1.1 will see if his release runs better, if not restoring to 4.0.1 until 4.0.3
Just rooted mine and my speed issues seem to be gone on 4.0.2. No idea as to why that is.
I too noticed this on the homescreen, browsing apps/widgets, web browsing... I use a live wallpaper and when I scroll to the left or right the live wallpaper stutters and just pressing the home button repeatedly while on home screen... the live wallpaper stutters...
like someone else said... I think it's something to do with the adjustments they made to the CPU governor
Just upgraded to it 10 minutes ago
Android nub question alert: lots of people here flash in a moments notice, so are you backing up your settings/apps/data etc using some app to restore after flashing? If so, what r u using?

I personally use MyBackupPro, works great for me. Titanium Backup is a very good app as well. Also suggest to always do/have a Nandroid Backup to go back to just in case.
UPDATE: Anybody that's interested, 2.1.1 eliminated most of the lag I was experiencing on Stock 4.0.2.
thank you sir!

I love the SGS2 but it sucks extremely that you are pretty much forced to take pictures in landscape mode as any pictures taken in portrait mode are send upside down in landscape... This appears to be a Samsung issue with most devices.
Does this bug anyone else but me? Me having a major OCD for this.. makes me miss my old EVO 4G
Any fix to this other than having to try and edit the pictures or taking pictures in landscape.
Here is a link to further describe the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ure-always-returns-1-for-exifinterface-tag-or
EDIT: For anyone who wants to attempt and fix this.. Found this old thread form 2010. They used a custom patch/fix to save the correct orientation.

You can't do that when it only rotates the pictures when you try to send them via MMS.

Yeah I noticed this on my samsung captivate and thought oh well It is maybe a software issue. I flashed CM7 and CM9 to my epic touch just now to test out if it was the way software is coded but no... Same results. Must be the way hardware is setup.
have the same issue. my girlfriend and i both have the epic touch, and the mms pics are never sent in a straight orientation. therefore, we just use dropbox.
Is this actually unique to our phone? I'd be surprised if so. See, most phones and cameras handle rotation not by actually taking the photo in portrait, but via EXIF metadata that notes the orientation in which the photo's supposed to be displayed. I'm guessing the MMS software is merely ignoring this EXIF data. The photos display fine in everything else that supports it, but the MMS app doesn't. If that's the case, I would assume this is more common than on merely our phone.
That said, I rarely if ever use MMS anyway. If I can email the photo at a much higher quality, I normally prefer to do so.
If anyone is a dev that happens to read this... In an older samsung model they fixed this annoying bug with a custom package. I'll attach them to the OP in case anyone wants to try and compared the fixes to try making us one.

Neither have I that I know of. I just tried it to make sure I was not just over looking the issue.
Either orientation saves the way I took the pic, and sends that way as well using GOSMS.
I think when I send a portrait picture with the stock messaging app its fine but when you use handcent it turns it sideways.

That's odd, trying emailing yourself the picture. I encounter this issue while using a skype sharing conference with ex co workers. I also have it when trying to send pictures via MMS. I even encounter it when sharing pictures on simple chatting applications. I'm convinced it's a samsung issue that they choose to over look lol =(
Using Vignette camera application... I'm able to successfully share pictures I take in portrait position with it! I thought I'd let others know. =)

Thats exactly what happens to me. It seems Samsung has a weird way of determining orientation and their messaging app is built to send them correctly. However sending thru third party apps, uploading to fb, or even xda app you get them sideways. This is very annoying and stupid and is a Samsung problem on all their phones.

Why wouldn't you take a pic in landscape? It has only been since the iPhone era that people have really started taking photos and videos vertically, and personally, I can't stand it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I usually always take pictures in landscape now just because I don't want my friends to have to keep turning their phone to view it. If I take a picture of someones face then I might take a portrait picture. I emailed Handcent about the issue a few times but they never replied back.

Rotate it once the wrong way, then rotate it back, and it will save as the correct orientation when you go to send the MMS.

Ok, so I just got the HTC One V and I really like it - except for when browsing the internet.
I've tried stock browser, dolphin and chrome, but they all have the same issues:
1) When zooming any text will blur stay that way for 2-4 seconds.
2) When scrolling down or up somewhat fast pages won't show for a few seconds - all I'll see is big white and grey squares.
3) Zooming and dragging seems pretty unresponsive.
The phone is up to date software wise and I'm running complete stock Android.
Is this just the way it is, or can it be fixed? I'm comparing to a HTC Desire which was my old phone, and it's far inferior on the One V - but only when browsing

Hi guys,
I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.
The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.
Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..
Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100
Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..
Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...
Edit:
Possible workarounds:
- flip to landscape and back
- use chrome in multi window mode
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.

Found out a strange thing:
If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?
At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully )
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.
I think is software related.

And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..

Please star the issue, unless one of us has some epic insight on how to fix it.
Seems from the comments on the bug that a fix will be coming in Chrome 29, whenever that gets rolled out. Those running Chrome Beta should see it sometime next week.
