A rookie here,
I just updated my Fascinate to 2.2.2 and also ED05, bored on a rainy day.
Some of the settings changed and some other stuff is a little different but I figured
most of it out.
The only item I haven't solved is when I open the web browser I can no longer zoom in and out. There used to be a zoom in/out bar that would appear in the bottom right of the screen. I also tried "pinching" but that doesn't work.
Any suggestions or tips?
Thanks in Advance,
Pylons26
Use your volume keys while in the browser.
You've been Fascinated with this response.
Thanks for the idea but the volume keys won't zoom in/out either. I have to admit
I didn't try that on my own and when I read that I thought "ah hah".
Any other ideas out there?

Sorry this is such a noobish question to start off with but I'm having trouble finding a feature I stumbled across a few days ago. Obviously to move between home screens you swipe left and right and pressing the home key from the main screen displays all 5 (swiping up from the bottom of the screen also does this).
The display I saw was a minimized view of each page, each a bit larger than when you're viewing all 5 at once, but only one was viewable on screen at a time and you could swipe left or right to see the others. I've no idea how I got in to that and I can't find any combination of controls to get back to it. I also can't see any purpose to it but it was definitely a deliberate feature and not a bug or glitch.
Can anyone shed any light on that please?
I believe that would be a bug.. there are several homescreen bugs I encounterd with my razr but all tolerable for me..
Case 1:
Slightly tilted diagonally homescreen when swiping left and right..
Case 2:
Minimize view (5 displays) also all screen tilted diagonally...
Maybe we can consider your scenario as a 3rd case..
The screen you see when you tap the home button twice (when already at the middle /primary home screen)?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
This sounds interesting, but i'm not sure what you want this for?
Is it like when you see all the home screens, but more zoomed in?
For what its worth, i've been hitting the keys, trying to get to something like this, but no luck..
Yeah I can't fathom any purpose for it... The best I can describe it is like viewing a zoomed out version of each page on your home screen. The same widgets and icons are there, you can flick left and right, 1 page displays at a time but it didn't seem like you could do anything useful from that view.
I thought it may have been a deliberate feature but any combination of buttons or gestures won't reproduce it on my RAZR so I guess it was a bug. It seemed completely deliberate though, it wasn't distorted or glitchy... It was somewhat like on samsungs touchwiz (galaxy s II for example) when you can add in widgets and shortcuts from a zoomed out view of each page except all you had was the zoomed out view and no discernible function.
Thanks for the advice though.
I figured it out.
Sometimes, when you are dragging between the homescreens, and press home at the same time, you will get strange zoomed versions of the home screens, and sometimes it was zoomed out, exactly as you describe.
However, i mostly got a heavily zoomed in version or crooked one.
Just try again and again, and you will see a lot of strange things, and eventually the one you describe
LOVE my new EVO LTE (hardware) -- waiting on a couple software fixes for a few things.
i remember reading a thread where you could map an ICS android's dedicated camera button to voice search on soft-press. You know, the one-push of the button, instead of the holding-it-down which brings up the camera.
I love ICS but i HATE that google removed the dedicated search button!! I used that all the time. For everything...
anyway, i used the search and i simply can not locate that thread anywhere. Any help is appreciated.
This one?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671936
Its under Development. Hope this helps.
I agree with the search button comment... I just ended up adding a google search bar to the top of every panel like on the Nexus. I am starting to get used to tapping on it. But in apps, it does get occasionally frustrating-- though my love for the phone outweighs it dramatically
i agree, the phone itself is too awesome to get worked up over the search thing, but still... i miss it bordering on need it.
I'm glad to see someone is working on this, that is awesome, but that wasn't what i was looking for. it was in another phone's boards, it was done, and if i remember correctly, it only worked on ICS that had a dedicated hardware camera button. it wasn't a "remap any button you like hard or soft" thing...
i found this, which helps (and i did the same thing, put one on each homescreen ) voice-search button

still, it would be nice to have that button lower-right-side bring up the voice prompt! i had just gotten used to using voice-commands for everything only to have them take that away!
Dang, sorry that wasn't it.
I'm on exactly the same page. I was really enjoying using voice commands with ICS on my 3D with just a tap on the bottom, but now I just have to stretch my hand a tiny bit farther to get to that search bar [totally just realized a little while ago theres a mic on the bar for voice search too ].
But yes, here's to hoping someone cooks something up!
for remapping the list to menu, it's this thread here

Just installed this browser to get rid of the annoying "browser not responding" and thus far, having pretty good luck and really liking the browser, much more than the stock.
My only gripe is, why can I not see the address bar when scrolled down far on the screen? For example, while in any other browser, if I am far down the page, as long as I "pull down" the address bar appears, but while in ICS quick browser, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top.
Is this a setting I can fix, or is that just the way it is? I hope is can be changed because I am really liking this browser.
Thanks!
if you tap once on the visible tab title area the address bar appears.
hope the above makes sense.

I tried that, I figured that would do the trick, but no. I have to go all the way back up. I wonder why this is. For example, I tried it on facebook as well as google news...somewhere I was able to be far down.
No other ideas? tapping in the tab area does nothing.
I been telling people about this browser for awhile now. It's badass! To get to a tab without scrolling all the way back up just tap the 4th button from the left next to the recent tabs key. It's what I always did. Hope that helps you.:good:

4th button ? Sorry but when i lok at the top all i see is the current tab/tabs. What do you mean?
for me clicking on the tab works... for example clicking on the tab title for this page
[Q] ICS Quick Browser - x...
works to toggle the address bar on and off.

I'm an idiot! I wa clicking next to the tab, this worked!
Surprised I haven't seen this commented on anywhere else!
From the lock screen, there is a camera icon in the bottom right hand corner - using this, gives quick access straight to the camera (apparently! ).
It's probably me but how on earth do you use it?!
I've tried tapping it, long pressing it, multi-touching it, swiping it in various directions - I'm sure I've tried everything!
Has anybody else found this?
How do you use this option?!

It must function normally. Coating, for example up and start the camera. If this does not work, you probably did not use a hard reset.
Hey everyone!
So I'm running Android 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and I ran into an issue other people had in which after enabling 'Invert Colors', the system creates a quick setting within the notification tray that drops down. I then proceeded to follow a fix I found on Reddit in which I connected my phone to my PC through USB and used the terminal with ADB to input a code which reset the systemui, it seems.
The fix worked and removed the Invert Colors quick setting... but now my Google Now page that I swipe left to has a checkered box over where there should be a nature setting. When I tap it, Google does a search for 'test', which is kinda strange. Any idea what this is or how I can fix it? Do I need to reset my phone? I'm not entirely opposed to that option.
I can be kinda OCD about the way my desktop looks on my phone so this glitch is really bothering me! I attached a screenshot of it below.
Thanks for your help in advance!
