This question is for every touch screen device user out there. Long back when opera mini came for non touch screen phone it had a virtual mouse cursor visible on screen which could perform mouse rollover action on sites but in all modern touch screen smart phone I can't seem to find a way. Does anybody know any way?

In stock browser in ics you just hold the button to get rollover effect. In chrome it doesn't work though.. iirc you hold down in dolphin browser too. Not sure about stock in gb though

Hi
I recently bought a keyboard dock ECR-K10D for my tab.The keyboard works fine.Except when i use it for Thinkfree Office.I am able to use it to create new documents & type accordingly. However, when i try to create a new spreadsheet & type in it there's no input registered, i have to tap the screen & then only the characters are registered as an input. I thought it was a software issue but the touch type keyboard works fine onscreen.the "issue" happens only when I dock the tab in the keyboard dock. Anyone out there facing anything similar or shud i try another office app?
I just picked up that keyboard as well a few days ago. Only spent about 20min on it thus far. Seem to work fine as far as nav around the home screens and menu. Only tried a note app for a moment to try out the typing and it was perfect. My keyboard is at work, so tomarrow I will try it out in a speadsheet of thinkfree. I will get back to you then.
I did see one issue. Some times when I undock from the keyboard, and then redock a few minutes later, the keyboard does not want to work. It makes the sound as if has docked, but nothing. I can undock and redock once or twice to get it back working. My settings are set to the keyboard and not Swipe. (just like the manual recomended) No biggie just can be a hassel. Have you run in to this?(or has anyone else that may be reading?)

Grem,
Your 100% correct. I comfirm that the keyboard does not work for inputting data in cells of the spreadsheet program of Thinkfree. The word processor program of Thinkfree works great with the keyboard from what I can tell.
Well, hopefully we will not run in to this very often with other apps.

I recently flashed the official ics update for the p7310, and installed Chrome. I noticed that when entering text using the samsung keyboard dock, some of the keys don't work as expected. The period key seems to be acting as the delete key, the delete key does nothing, the quote key seems to be acting as a right arrow key, but only sometimes, and the on screen keyboard button does nothing.
needless to say, trying to type this post has been quite fun.
this just a bug in Chrome? Anyone have any ideas for a work-around? Or do I just have to not use Chrome when I want to use the keyboard dock?
I thought I was the only one and it was a random bug. I can verify that this has happened to me as well.

Hi,
I don't have the keyboard dock but I don't have any screen issues.
I type just fine on chrome?
What is the language of your tablet? I have english (united kindgom)... maybe that's it...
have you select the samsung onscreen keyboard while using the dock ?
i read somewhere the onscreen keyboard has to be set to the samsung one when using the dock.
i have the dock but no ics for me till now (p7300 3g unbranded)

Yes, I have the onscreen keyboard set to samsung when I use the dock. For some reason, it always auto-switches to the samsung keyboard when I put it in the dock, even though the text that pops up says to manually switch it.
Ironically enough, i just tried setting the keyboard to swiftkey while using the keyboard dock, and my period key is now working correctly in chrome.
I guess I can live with that as a workaround when I want to use the keyboard dock in chrome. Delete key still doesn't work though and the quote key is still tempermental.
Had a heck of a time figuring out where this should go, if its in the wrong forum, feel free to move it.
I'm using dolphin browser on my touchpad because its the only mobile browser that I can find that supports Lastpass via add ons.
My problem is the touchpad doesn't have the native "back" button that all android tablets have and there doesn't seem to be a way to do it within the browser. Is there any workaround for this? The only solution I have found is to go to the gesture screen and use a gesture for "back". This is pretty cumbersome to say the least and for some reason the little dolphin button isn't consistently there.
Thanks.
I'm using Schizoid if that matters.
I'm using Dolphin on CM9 and it has the back button.
No questions here.
Pretty easy to see where Q&A is...

Didn't seem like there was any android discussion in there. Sorry.

If you don't have the back button on Schizoid, you haven't set it up properly. Check the OP, but it can probably be fixed by: get softkey buttons in navbar, go to Settings->System->Navigation bar->Tablet UI soft buttons You should also check your settings to make sure you haven't set the navbar buttons to hide with full screen apps.
My wife has almost lost confidence in the Nook HD+ (and me!). She is the ultimate non-techie. But, I gave er a Nook HD+ on a whim and she likes it. She also likes using a stylus instead of her finger for swiping and pointing.
She complained (a lot) that when she swiped to scroll down a page in the web browser, it would (most of the time) do a zoom instead. Irritating, for sure. She showed me, and sure enough, it does. Not with your finger though. We tried different styluses, including a microfiber tip stylus, but no improvement.
I gave her another Nook HD+, but this time with CM10.1 on it, instead of the Nook OS. Two different browsers (Chrome and the Browser app) both still did the same thing. Using the stylus to swipe up or down in an effort to scroll the screen would instead cause a zoom of the screen. Finger swiping to scroll works fine.
What the heck? Anyone have any idea how to stop this from happening when using a stylus?
Thanks.
It's the sensitivity of the screen. I occasionally get it with my fingers. It's registering two touches and then the movement is assumed to be pinch to zoom.
There is an app on here to adjust the values for the screen, but I'm not sure where or what numbers to suggest trying.
I have seen this too. After installing 10.2 a lot of stylus jitters went away. The zoom too in the browsers.

Every time I launch Chrome browser (I'm sure I'm not the only one here!) it takes an age to be ready for me to type an address.
Even when the cursor appears in the address bar and the keyboard pops up, it's still not ready to type. When I impatiently start to type something the keyboard confuses presses for long presses, so I get numbers appearing instead of letters etc, a complete mess.
The wait is probably something like 20 -25 seconds, doesn't sound like a lot, but on a modern phone its aaaages! It's a shame, because the instantly-ready aspect is why I choose Chrome for Windows. Not so for the phone.
I have to say, the 'Internet' browser app that came with the phone is pretty instant, but does anyone have a recommendation for any other browsers that are pretty instant? I like the integration with my desktop that Chrome offers
Sorry guys - I guess I should have searched first!!
I'll have a look at Firefox, Opera, Dolphin, Boat etc!
Try opera and Next browser.Was using opera since my nokia N76 but this next browser is super fast and good looking.
P.S. chrome tends to lag a lot if you have it sync with desktop one.I guess it cant handle that many bookmarks or something.
