Does anyone have the browser from the Samsung Vibrant? I like the way when you click in a field on a webpage to type into it, it brought up a window to type into. When typing on the MT4G, and other phones, the text that I type in the field shows up in the field, but it is hard to read at times, because of size, and it's hard to scroll. I hope you know what I mean. Is it the browser that controls this, or did the Vibrant have something special?
Come on, so noone else enjoys the text pop-up for text fields in the browser?

That's why our phones have multi-touch. Make the screen bigger and type away. You will be able to see everything you type clearly. No need for an alternate browser
I will see if I can after i get home

I'm running Galaxy Task 14 Slim on my Tab and in the browser (only place where I've noticed it) the cursor (blinking line to input text) won't show up anywhere expect the adress bar. I can still input text but dont see where I'm typing. I'm assuming this is due to the white text field not showing the white cursor. Has anyone else noticed this or has a fix for this problem. I am also using the stock HC keyboard. Thanks!!!
I've noticed the same thing and just never figured it as a "problem".
I use a slide-it keyboard mostly so it happens on other keyboards too.
I only have the cursor not show in some places so it's just those apps with the problem. Like you said white on white is a real possibility.
Thanks for the reply, wanted to make sure it wasn't just me experiencing this. I mean its not a huge deal but its just weird editing text and filling out forms without it.
yeah it's annoying when it happens. find myself clicking in boxes I'm already in. Quite often a few times before I remember the problem. LOL

Is there any way to get text reflow in the browser (preferably the default one or Chrome) ? I've searched the forum and pinch zoom then double tap seems to work for somebody on eg SGSII, but it appears that it's 50/50 if people reports that it works or not. In the default browser there's an option to "Auto-fit pages", but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with text reflow.
It's really annoying to not have that feature. That (and the dialer) is something I really miss from my time as an HTC user.
I'm not sure if that feature has other names than "text reflow"... so what I'm talking about is when, in the browser, you zoom in alot and the text rearranges itself so you don't have to scroll sideways all the time to read it. I find that feature especially handy while reading while I walk.
If it's called something else, please let me know so I can search the forum again.
Anyone? Am I the only one missing this feature?

No, but I think the rest of the people are using other browsers
I really miss this feature, had it on HD2 CM7 based ROM. The native SGS3 browser got a similar option, indeed. There is a major difference, though. It only reflows the text once, and only does it for the zoom amount you specify on double tap, not just any arbitrary zoom level
Try opera browser... It has text reflow in it...

The point is, the system natively had it integrated. The native browser would reflow, as well as ANYTHING using webview, such as gReader etc. If anyone finds out how to hack it in, i would gladly hear (and do so).
Maybe this is an android thing. I'm using the stock keyboard on Skyraider 1.3 with no other mods. It behaved the same on stock and Froyo. I don't use any prediction at all, so the experience is as manual as can be. I have used swiftkey before but I don't remember it behavind better.
I cannot type as fast as I want because sometimes the letters overwrite as I type.
For example:
I type "gotcha"
It comes out as "gotca"
As far as I know it doesn't seem to happen more often with any combos of letter, but I'm not sure I'd notice if it did.
Sometimes the cursor will jump back a few spaces as I type. It's almost like a reverse TAB.
Also, when I'm typing sometimes the keyboard loads and drags the screen far below where I'm working. So much so that I cannot see what I'm typing. So, I exit out of the keyboard, scroll back up, manually place the cursor, and as soon as I type...bam it goes to the bottom of the screen again. I think this happens most while using a browser or e-mail client. And tapatalk.
Lastly, with my SMS messages sometimes it'll completely wig out and bring up the message log of the person I'm typing to prompting me to delete what I have check boxed, which thankfully is nothing.
What's going on here? Is it user error?
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
I think your typing issue is from accidently moving the cursor while hitting keys on the top row. I do it frequently, its either that or accidently hitting word suggestions, which is why i turned mine off to, that is far more annoying.
I also have that problem with not being able to see what I'm typing in certain apps. I think its just an app problem, oversight by the developers.

When I type text, the keyboard automatically loads one of the three suggested words on top of keyboard (usually the wrong one of course) into my text making typing a real pain in the rear.
How do I get rid of these suggested words?
It usually loads the center word. The left hand word is usually the one I want.
Also the "word prediction" field in the settings area is dimmed meaning I have no access to green check mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, why do the "image verification" letters in this forum have to be so blurry? I have to reselect numerous times before I get one I can read.
You could try another third party keyboard. I hate the stock keyboard so I got swift key and have been using it for 2 years. You could try it out I really enjoy it and if you like it, but it will fix your issue your having with the stock one.

You can touch the word you want and it will fill it in to what you are typing. Also under Settings/Language&Keyboard/HTC Sense Input/Advanced you can only turn off word prediction if you uncheck trace keyboard.
Swift key app
Purchased swift key app.

Thanks

Hi guys,
I'm on a non-rooted Galaxy s3 (I know, I know, I just don't want to void my warranty) and I'm having this annoying problem. Whenever I browse the Internet and try to type any text in a text field at the bottom of a page (mobile Facebook page for example), my keyboard appears right on top of the text field thus I can't see what I'm typing. Normally it would lift the text field just above the keyboard, but it doesn't. Is there an option for this?
Thanks

Nope, you can try another browser but it's how the page has been written.
