Screen scrolling - Nexus 7 General

Just noticed, if I go to any web page & double tap to zoom if I put a pen or finger on the screen & move up/down then the screen moves up & down but if I put my finger on the screen & move up/down & then side to side without taking my finger /pen off it won't move side to side, same as if I start side to side & then try up/down it won't go up/down. Not an issue just strange, works fine on our tab2.

Tested and working fine here. Stock, rooted, using chrome. Odd.!

Not doing that for me, at first I thought it probably just does that so you can scroll up and down through a paragraph without accidently keep misaligning it off screen.

Yup, Firefox seems to be the culprit, moved over to dolphin beta now.

Ah ok, I'm pretty sure that's a firefox feature for the reason above, why not use Chrome, perfect browser.

xScope browsing on the Nook

I started a new thread because I'm not sure if the app is not 100% compatible with a rooted nook.
When browsing, xScope will enter full screen mode, hiding the tab and address bars also the control panel on the bottom. I have full screen disabled in the options, so does anyone know what's going on?
There's an option regarding the notification bar. I can hide everything but the bottom bar.
The only issue I'm currently having is that a lot of the menus are white text on white backgrounds. If you press and hold you can see the menu entries which is workable for now - I've contacted the developer about the issue.
OK, I see what's going on now...
When I enter a text field, the keyboard comes up. When I'm done, the bars dissapear.
I've changed the settings so that the menu button brings them back, but is this normal behavior? The bars should come back on their own.
In xscope full screen, I have trouble pressing the buttons on the bottom edge of the screen, does anyone have that problem?

Same issue with the buttons in the lower corners of the screen. I have issues with other apps also where the buttons are in corners, bottom or not. Just seems app specific.

What I did was move the bottom bar to the top where it is easier to press the buttons and then I increased the screen density to 210. That makes the buttons larger and easier to press.

Yes. Really sucks. I love xScope and have had to switch to Dolphin Mini because of this problem. I love how xScope does text redraws quickly and without fuss. Not many other browsers do that.

I did that but find that it really makes it much more difficult to use the browser when you have to constantly reach for the top. I love how Dolphin Mini allows me to keep both hands at the bottom to do everything I need.
I want to have an experience where my hands aren't having to jump all over the place just to move along quickly through my daily reading.

I had also moved my bar to the top and its much easier to use for me...
Otherwise, I like the browser, but still haven't figured out how to easily close tabs.
I honestly find Dolphin a bit easier to use..

For xscope, just tap a tab to close it.

Dolphin Pad version1 is out

Just downloaded the Dolphin Pad browser from the market and is oh so sweet. Made for the tablet and has gestures. Check it out.
is it that much better than dolphin v6?

I think so. It feels much more like its built for a larger screen than HD. No more finger at the bottom (gosh that got in my way). Not glitchy anymore when swiping bookmarks open either. My screen used to stick when I swiped to open bookmarks.
i still like the stock version =P since i've gotten the xoom i havent went for any browsers yet
I do like this new browser a lot! It's about time they made a browser to focus specifically on tablets, more specifically... the Honeycomb tablets. The settings menu looks so much like the Honeycomb system settings menu... split screen windows. I'm coming from Dolphin Browser HD myself. I think I will be converting to Dolphin Pad soon.
Looking forward to future updates!
always use dolphin since I bought my xoom. Thanks.
I may be dim here, but how do you get it to recognize gestures? In Dolphin HD you would just touch and hold the lower left corner of the screen.

Is some kind Xoomer able to post the .apk? The market will not allow non-honeycomb tablets to download it, It would be much appreciated.

Awesome! Thanks for the find. I'm not much on Beta so I am looking forward to a final release. I'll follow the thread and thanks again!
I'll try it and see how it handles
Crashed on me once. Other than that, nothing else bugs me about it. Feels much faster than stock... Incredibly.

Question. Does Dolphin allow the browsing tab bar to stay at the top? That's the main reason why I use the stock browser because I can press on the tabs easily anytime.
I remember that scrolling down a long web page in Dolphin will just make the tabs disappear and I had to scroll back up to the top of the page before I can use the tabs.

The tabs don't scroll in this version. I like it better than dolphin HD.
Am I the only person that hates having no back button on the top left side for these browsers. I like the full screen button, but when I go full screen I lose the back button...would make sense to add a small back button or option for that.
I also hate the gesture button on the right side, but it is better than the phone version in the bottom left corner IMO.
I love the popup menu on the stock browser, but hate that it hides the tabs...wish someone would copy that or create a solution where the controls can be hit in the corners specified by the user.
I must be holding my tablet wrong
Am I missing something?
Want to import my bookmarks from Dolphin HD to this version but can't find any option to import bookmarks using the backup file I created in the phone version?
And really like this version. Same speed as the phone version but with better ui for the bigger screen.

[Q] Screen edge sensitivity using finger

Hi,
So i noticed when setting up Go SMS and other apps that i cannot use my finger to touch the edge of the screen.
For example: when setting up a font colour using the sliders in Go SMS i cannot slide the colours all the way to 0 or 255 with my finger.
It stops at 4 and 250. If i want to go to 0 or 255 i must use my s pen.
Anyone else have this issue and is there a solution to fix it?
Ive attached an example of finger use and s pen use. This edge problem is in all apps.
As you can see, where i drew lines with black using my finger it would stop drawing around 3-5mm from the edge.
Thanks
Neil
Just noticed that!
Yes that's really strange.
I actually never even noticed this until now since I checked.
I'd also be interested to see if anyone knows the cause of this. Whether it's hardware related, or software.
I just tried this, the faster I swipe to the edge with my finger, the further away it stops, but if I do it slower, it goes right to the edge.

I just found that in S-Note, with S-Pen set for left-hand, I can't quite color to the left edge, but can hit the very edge on the other 3 sides. Switch S-Pen to right-hand setting, and can hit very edge of S-Note page on all 4 sides.
Definitely can't get to the very edge with finger, on any side.
yes i too noticed this problem while using sketchbook mobile

I my self would definitely prefer a long press rather than having to double tap. Sometimes I miss the second two and just go home but would have no problems with a long press.

Any solution to this? I'd like to make long-press home as the multi-tasking view and disable double-press home entirely (don't care about google now).
On the new 4.2.2 long press is now the menu button, double tap home is the recent apps like before and press, hold, and swipe up is the Google now

Yea I just saw this when I flashed to a 4.2.2 ROM. The thing I want to disable is the double-tap home button as it makes the single-press home a bit laggy since it has to wait to see if the second button press of home is registered or not. I would rather the phone just instantly goes home when I press home which requires the double-tap home function to be disabled which is why I'd like to rebind the task-switcher to something else like long-press home.

It doesn't make it laggy, as it doesn't wait for the second tap. You can still do the second tap once it gets to the homescreen. If you think it's slow, you should see the Samsung Galaxy phones with their REAL homebutton lag

It does... this is exactly what I'm relating it to. On my S3 it had double-press home to go to the S-Voice app. Once I disabled that feature, the home button would be instant on the S3. Otherwise, it would be "waiting" for the 2nd press. It's the same thing with the HTC One... at least it feels like it.
And no, I can't still do the 2nd tap when I get to the home screen...

I can some people store more electrical charge in their fingers, guess you are lacking that 'zap'
In all seriousness, I don't have any lag and you can disable the double tap by editing the framework.jar

Lol... well I feel the vibration feedback of the 2nd tap but it just acts as me pressing the home screen again, not part of the 2nd press from the 1st. I've tried timing it very closely but I still can't get it to go home and then bring up the task switcher. I can just get it to go home, then go home again, or get the task switcher.
Disabling it is only half the battle... I still want to bind the task-switcher to long press but I lack the know-how to do it lol. Thought there would be something built into modaco's framework to do it but I don't see that level of button customization there yet.

[Q] How to exit out of apps with null?

I installed flappy bird on my gear (ha ha) and once I start it up there is no way to exit except to reboot the unit! I suspect there is some shortcut or gesture for this in null that I don't know about. Does anyone know?

Doesnt back (Swipe down) work to exit the app?
It does not. I assume it is because the application has captured all of the swipe events but I don't know that for sure.
There is something in gear manager that says Double press power to do "X". In X you can pick any of your apps like double press power to open Nova Launcher. However, when I double press power it doesn't do squat except for turn my screen off and on.
I had the same problem. Use 2 fingers to tap on the screen. That will open running apps. Then swipe left or right to close. Hope that helps

Two finger tap brings up my battery/brightness/volume control. Not closing anything from there.

A long press on the Nova home screen would bring up the thing to add an app or a widget.
