I was looking for a way in the stock browser to jump to the top of the page when scrolled to the bottom of a long webpage. When reading a long article or something with lots of comments this would be a nice feature. if there isnt a way currently, which i dont thinkg there is, someone could come up with a tweak to the stock browser to jump to the top of the page it would be sweet.
nope it doesnt exist. but if you really give a few fast swipes in a row, you be surprised this kinetic scrolling will go extremely fast to the top.

I'm one of the 10% of left handed people in the world and was wondering if anybody had managed to make a rom for kaiser for us lefties if not then whats the best solution as the scroll bar on the right hand right means my hand is over the screen so i cant see while i have to scroll hope someone can shed some light on this
Try looking around here, although I don't remember seeing any left-handed ROMs there. As for the scroll bar, there was a thread about that in the Off-Topic forum a while ago, and although many agreed that it would be nice to do, nobody had the slightest idea how one would do so.
You might want to try a WM6.5 ROM, as they have excellent finger scrolling (so long as you disable Touchflo scrolling in Kaisertweak).
Dave
we should make a seperate lefties forum lol
I agree, for me, WM6.5 overall works great. Contact, home screen, app launcher scrolling were all seamless. and the old control panel type stuff is gone so you get to use the honeycomb to browse through the settings options.
for me it's way better than trying to use a tiny scroll bar no matter what side it's on.
I just saw Google's fastflip announcement and gave it a try. On my Hero, the webpage does not look right. That is, I don't get the icons at the bottom (left arrow, right arrow, + sign) as you can see in the screen shots at http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/mobile
Can someone check and see if their Hero does the same thing?
I think Google is now so big that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Look at our crummy Maps support, no Google Earth, and now no Flip.
I didnt see the icons at the bottom either, but it worked using gestures (swipe left or right to 'flip' )
i can't imagine you would see the icons at the bottom as those are put there by the iphone browser.....you don't have one of those silly things do you???
and as for the rest, seems fine to me.
Nahh, if you look at the screen shots those buttons at the bottom are part of fastflip. Not the ones you get after pressing the menu button. On my screen, they are not there. The space is blank white. No big deal, just want to know if others are seeing the same thing.
Hi,
only icons I can see are the same as in this picture iPhone icons picture so I think they are iPhone specific
Sorry clobber but that blue bar is, as has already been said, Iphone browser only.
They are the back, forward, new window, bookmarks and switch window buttons from the iphone browser. you will not see them on an android phone.
shudder...i need to go wash my mouth out after mentioning that thing....!

Haha. Fair call. I didn't even notice there were suppose to be buttons. I just instinctively swiped to change pages since that is the paradigm used through out the phone.
I hate buttons on screens for navigation. Totally pointless. It is a pity that Google couldn't display the whole article straight away. Although you get the gist of that article after the first few paragraphs anyway and it's not hard to browse to the original article.
I like it...but don't know how it fits with Reader which I get my new via RSS. I guess Flip filters it down to only the good/popular stuff.
Hi,
I bought a Galaxy S 2 weeks ago,and noticed that in Web Browser,if i touch the screen and do a slide move from right to left or from left to right,i can't do a slide move from up to down of down to up(i dont pull my fingers off from the screen while doing the moves)
for example i opened a page from web browser and zoomed in..if i scroll the page from left to right,i cannot move the page upwards or downwards after that horizontal slide...(if i scroll from up to down-or down to up,i cannot move the page from left-to rigt or right to left too)(and my finger is still on the screen)
this bug happens in only straight way slide-scroll moves.the only way i can do a 360 degree move on a zoomed page is if i start the slide move in cross directions-not straight directions).then i can move the page where ever i want.
I tried this bug on stock 2,1 - 2,2 - 2.2.1 ROMs,on Darkys v5,5 - 5,6 Roms,on stock kernel,on voodoo kernel,on Stock Web browser and on Dolphin HD, i did cache - Data wipe factory reset sd format lots of times and the result is always the same.
Finally i went to shop to try a new Galaxy S to see if this bug happens to other phones,and Yes it happened to that new Galaxy S too.
A 50 € phone doesnt have this bug but a 500 € has it :/
Can anyone help me to solve this problem or know what cause this bug(or is it really a stock bug)?
anyone for help?
I don't know whether that is a bug or not. I know the behaviour you're describing and I see it as a feature. It allows for smoother vertical scrolling when reading long articles.
I wouldn't want this changed.
so does it lock itself to that direction we scroll-for a smoother scrooling,and not allow us to change to any other direction while our finger is still on the screen? :/
i scroll up the page,then if i want to slide the page through left a bit,i must pull off my finger from the screen first,and touch the screen again to slide left...
they could give smoothness with another way,if they do this on purpose for smooth scrolling :/
I'm more likely to scroll vertically reading a long web page than I am to be scrolling vertically and horizontally simultaneously.
Is it taking you much time or effort to lift your finger and press it back down?
npe,its just annoying for me,cant do a 360 degree move without pulling off my finger,if i do a vertical or horizontal slide before :/
thanks for answer
Hi,
Fyi, I just noticed that Dolphin Mini browser is now out of beta, available on market.
The key changes, for me are that you can now select plugin behavior, and setting a gesture to Homepage now correctly goes to the Speed dial page, so I can use fullscreen almost 100%.
Jim
I really like it so far, seems to scroll smoother and they downsized those monster tabs! I'll have to try it on my phone.

Yeah. Looks nice.
It took me awhile, but I'm starting to like Dolphin Mini.
I still think that Xscope is faster, but I've been having problems with Flash (other thread here), and I really want a browser where I can leave it in full screen to take advantage of the Gtab screen size, without constantly pressing Menu to navigate.
The Dolphin Mini 1.0 allows me to do that.
Basically, I set all of the links that I usually go to on the Homepage/Speed dial page.
Then I set a gesture (a small "h") to go to the Speed Dial. Then go to fullscreen.
So now, whenever I want to go back to speed dial, I just do the "h" gesture, and I go from there, staying fullscreen all the time.

When you reach the 3rd page from the home screen, is it possible to make scrolling pages unlimited? I.e if you were to scroll to the 3rd page on the left side and scroll left one more time it'll go to the 3rd page on the right side.
Sorry if this is confusing hopefully someone understands x).
