Touch Screen Going Crazy! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My touch screen is zooming in and out in the browser when i try to scroll across the page. It just keeps reacting weird. I am using loccys advanced browser. This is also happening on non browser functions. I can tap and hold on some files in linda manager. All sorts of strange things. Anyone else experience this?

Also, try searching any image on google images and the browser goes crazy.

Turn off use http and use https in the proxy settings by opening opera:config
Cured most if not all the weird browsing errors for me.
I am sorry, I've had the phone for almost a week now and still dont know everything about it. How do I get there? Thanks.
in the url type opera:config erase the http://www.
Thanks, I checked that, and it seems to be working fine now.

[Q] mail link

I am hoping someone can help.
Xoom, 3.2 rooted. I use Opera Mobile as the default browser.
Right now, when I click on any URLs in an email, the Xoom grays out the screen but doesn't open any browser to the URL like it used to. Normally, if you have 2 browser, Android asks which one you want to open it with. Now it does nothing but dims the screen as if it was trying to bring up the dialog but it never does.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
This is a well known and well documented bug in 3.2.
The simple solution is to make sure auto-rotation is enabled and then rotate your Xoom from landscape to portrait and back. The app chooser will come up and you will be able to choose which app to use to open the link. This will fix it for sometime but it will happen again and just do the same thing.

Just got Note - problem with browser tabs

So I just got the Note recently and so far I'm liking it (came from Iphone 4).... BUT, 1 thing that has GOT TO CHANGE!!! Is..... when I open stock browser and open tabs, if I close the browser and then go back to it my tabs are all gone!!! And it just shows home page...
Has anyone figured this out?? I haven't installed any task manager stuff. I need to get this fixed though. Is there a fix for this?
I've tried searching this forum and google but don't see much info. Most of the stuff I see says to uninstall task killers, but I didn't install anything just stock task manager for the Note.
I've tried different browsers also but none of them really seem to keep the tabs open, it is very annoying
Any ideas?
bump for friday!!!
This is more of a workaround.
Instead of exiting the browser with the back button, press the home button. When you go back to the browser (by long pressing the home button to access the running tasks) the tabs should still be there.
Probably best to have put this in the Q&A section
Thanks for the reply!! But this is what I'm doing... even that doesn't work. In fact, I don't use the back button too much, I mostly use the home button...
There is no fix for this? Can someone tell me the cause of it? Is it something to do with a Samsung task manager? Is there a new task manager I can install or seomthing I can tweak in the OS? Perhaps seomething in the browser config or task manager config?
I don't have this problem... especially with Dolphin Browser. Those bloody tabs persist after reboots. It is a pain in the arse to get rid of them, you have to kill them manually.
Any body else know a fix??
Maybe I'll try firefox see how that works. I did d/l dolphin but haven't tried yet
You can install ZDbox, it is an app that was developed by an Xda member. It has a task killer incorporated within the app where you can put the browser in the protected apps by long pressing and adding it. After you do this, the app will not be closed if you kill all other apps.
Let me know if it resolves the issue. (it is available for free in the market)
Why are you using stock browser anyway . It's crap . I never managed to download anything with it . And after " download " it can't parse it . Use OPERA MOBILE . ( NOT mini ) . You'll thank me later

Ok I tried ZDbox, however the browser doesnt even show up in the process list of ZDbox lol... It shows up in my task manager, but not in ZDbox.
I will just use a different browser... I see so many browsers, which is best? How does Opera compare with Firefox? I kinda like Maxthon also, but it isn't saving my tabs either
Download Opera. It's the fastest browser, as it uses hardware acceleration.
Its not witht stock browser. If you are opening too many apps and then press Home key, the Android system will put the browser to sleep but it keeps it in memory. If you launch another app at this point which asks for more RAM than there is available, Android will start exiting the apps that are residing in the memory. When that happens, the browser could also be force closed by the system. Dunno how to fix that since I am not a dev.
If you use other browsers, you wont have the GPU acceleration and hence smoothness, in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents.

The two of you should talk: his tabs don't stay and yours are hurting your ass
So how is everyone with the Note fixing or getting around this? I'm trying Opera now...
Well, after using the Opera browser... i gotta say I like it. EXCEPT it doesn't remember my tabs either!! It seems like none of the browsers are working right with tabs... unless i'm doing soemething wrong? Is there any way to remember tabs in opera mobile?
When I press the back button on Dolphin it ask if I want to close the browser or minimize it.
What would be nice is.... like Safari on iphone... if you kill it, it still opens up with all your tabs... or a desktop firefox, it always allows you to restore your previous session/tabs...
I HAVE to keep tabs open, instead of re-opening 5 pages/tabs evertime the browser just feels like forgetting them
Anybody know about the great Note browser mystery??
How long after you press home are you checking, if you leave it in sleep mode for some time, android will kill the high power consuming processes and that is why your tabs are not getting stored...
I think what you want is a browser which remembers your previous tabs and reload all of them whenever you open a browser.. i dont think stock or dolphin or opera has such an option, did you try the mobile version of firefox.. maybe it remebers tabs...
And to those people this is not about multitasking... it is just that he wants the browser to remember his tabs so that it can reload itself everytime a new instance opens...

YES!! thank you..thats exactly right! i've tried so many browsers so far and have yet to find one that does!! It seems so weird to me that none of these browsers have a session restore or tab restore option. let me try firefox... i haven't really tried it yet. BUT i just read firefox for andoird DOES have hardware acceleration... I'M ON IT! will report back
After using FF for a bit...I can report it is the same as other browsers There is no session restore and it closes my tabs also. When I launch it, it shows me my "previously closed tabs" but it won't let me restore them all......I have to click on each one to restore
So this is still a aproblem

[Q] chrome keeps reloading

I'm having an issue with chrome constantly reloading the page as soon as I touch the screen to scroll it reloads. drives me nuts because I hate using other browsers.
Is anyone else experiencing this? if I uninstall the update then reinstall it is okay for a while then starts again.

Facebook scroll issue on 4.4.2

After I updated to 4.4.2, in some websites, it won't scroll more than half a page( it will scroll for a second, then it will come back) and it's annoying.Than happens in the music app too, but only if i scroll very fast. I saw that more users are having this problem. Anyway to fix that, except using other browser than the stock one( because it's the fastest). Thanks!
