I have my browser set so the plugins only load when I tap the arrow icon. I've noticed already that on pages with flash videos, the trackball becomes useless. But I just noticed today, basically any active Flash content anywhere on the page will murder the trackball.
In particular I was looking at TV listings on Zap2it.com and noticed some Flash ads. For the novelty I tapped the icon to see what the page looked like with the ads visible. The moment I did that, boom, trackball was neutered. Couldn't get it to work again in-app until I closed the page.
That's not very user-friendly...

Whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way down to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. It seems something preset to have the today screen always at the top (after you browse to other windows, etc.). If at least I can change the "go home" movement to take a bit longer so I can see other today's plugins it will be good enough.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
This was not solved, but explained elsewhere (SPB today plugins). I guess no workaround despite disabling them. Thanks.
Guys,
on the open home screen the two tabs at the side, one to store fav apps the one on the left when I click it just takes me to google search widget.
Is there a way to change this or is this just how it is.
Seems pointless having this and the google search widget as part of the skin too.
Not quite unerstanding what you mean. Are you talking about the little tabs either side of the bigger phone button at the bottom left and right of the screen?
If so the one of the left with the up arrow inside a circle goes to a list of all of your apps (not just your favourites). the one on the right with a + sign is for adding widgets or shortcuts to the screen you are in.
He's talking about the pull-out drawer and button at the bottom of openhome.
They can be turned off in the OpenHome settings, IIRC (menu > more > OpenHome settings), Though I can't check as I no longer use openhome.

Hi,
Thanks for response, I managed to work it out in the end last night.
I'm having a lot of force closing and some random rebooting though with Open Home and not sure why. Any suggestions? - it's happened on the older version and now the newer one.
This happens all the time:
The part of the website with the text entry box finishes loading. You tap it, start typing, as you're typing, something else finishes loading and the keyboard vanishes - often causing you to tap on some ad banner on accident. Is there any way to minimize this? Other than waiting until its 'safe' to start?

You can either wait till the page loads fully or click on the stop icon to manually stop the page from loading unwanted stuff and interfere with your replies
More often than not, when I push the 'stop' button; rather then keeping the partially loaded site in a freeze-frame, it whites out the whole browser window. I'd love to see a 'force retain' option on the keyboard (I use A.I. Type) for those of us that don't appreciate indefinite load times.

I'm getting a "Insufficient Flash Player Requirements" message when trying to watch ESPN. It gives several versions to download - any idea which one to pick?
None of them. The webtop's flash player can't be updated by the end user. You'll either have to wait for Moto to update it or hack your webtop mode.
Has anyone found a way to disable flash player? It seems that when loading pages, some of the flash advertisements are causing firefox to get hung up and freeze. This might also make youtube and other video sites push a non-flash video format out.
I don't want to un-install it, but enable and disable it on demand.
Hi guys,
for my wife I am searching for a 1-click solution to easily cast a Samsung tablets screen to a TV via Chromecast v2.
Google Home lets me pick the TV, then allows for streaming the screen with a button at the bottom.
Ideally I'd like to have a cast button right on the homescreen. A direct shortcut. Tasker and Nova, it's all here. Any ideas? Google Play Store is full of bull**** castware.
thx
Well, I can't speak to the damage that samduck does to Android, but for proper AOSP or Pixel, you can add a "cast" button into the quick settings menu (when you pull down from the top of the screen, that is the row of buttons at the top of the screen with wifi, airplane mode, etc.).
When you pull the menu down TWICE, Android is supposed to have a little icon that looks like a pencil, tap that and it should go into edit mode where you can drag tiles around. If you put the "screen cast" into one of the first 6 spaces, it will appear in the quick settings menu on first pull-down. This is far easier (for your wife) than having a home screen button, since its always available and not just when you return to the home screen.
