I dont know if anyone else is having the same issue. Just purchased my ATT branded GS2, and for some reason I cannot zoom at all on any Yahoo page. I have no problem on other web pages, pictures, etc, but on Yahoo, no can do. I checked my other phone, HTC Inspire, and no problem. Is my phone defective?
May sound dump but are the yahoo pages u trying mobile type and not desktop? ?
Cause u can't on yahoo mobile type.

Yeah, most mobile sites are always auto-fit. Hence you can't zoom it.

it is the mobile type. But I have no problem on my other phones. Seems weird. Also, my coworker has the Infuse, and he has no problem with his either.
I did a test too. The stock home page att /yahoo does not scroll but if u click desktop version it will. Hope this helps

Yes I checked the desktop version, and it zooms in and out no problem. Just curious as to why this phone is the only phone I have used that the mobile version of Yahoo doesnt zoom in. Just seems a bit odd to me.

Maybe this phone is the only one that renders the yahoo mobile site correctly.

I guess so. But it does this other weird thing too. You can move the page to the right, and there is sometimes more information , like and additional news item or video. I have tried setting the auto fit pages setting to on and off, but there is no difference. I also noticed there is no home button on the browser. Does anyone recommend maybe using a different browser?

This isn't evo3d specific, but the facebook app really sucks. Is it just licensing that keeps someone from making a better one? I would pay for a FULLY FUNCTIONAL facebook app - something that lets me do everything I can do on the site. and I would like it to have total control over what I have to see in my newsfeed, because I don't care about farmville.
I just want push notifications on my EVO like my wife has on her epic

idk if you remember the early facebook app that was out when the Evo first came out a year ago... It was HORRIBLE compared to what we have today, so if anything, we're doing alright compared to that. And that's saying something.
But I agree, I hate having to go to the site to reply to invites to events and whatnot, gets old real quick. I also wish that gawker sites wouldn't go to the mobile site in the stock browser, it won't let you watch any flash videos, and won't let you switch to desktop version of the site. /endrant
Yeah and I will also like to change my profile pic from the app, because even if you go to the site from your phone (in desktop version) it doesn't let you do it cause of the cropping of the pic which is impossible from the phone.

One of my friends told me that you can't make them but you can join video chats in progress. The I can't confirm that's its true since I'm not old enough to make a google + account -_-.
In the descriptions on the market page it says u can do hangouts using video. Guess it is only on a couple of devices at the moment. Maybe it will be updated for us soon.

Here is some videos I found that sorta explain how to join Hangouts (video chat). It kinda sucks that you need someone that has a computer but Facebook cant do mobile video chat . Im curious to see how sprints 3g could handle video chat since its been poor around my area.

Do you have "Enable Always-On Mobile Data" checked in Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks? Google+ uses the Google Push system. When you disable that setting, the only data that syncs are ones you can set to "poll" at a specific frequency.
If that isn't it, try wiping Google+ data in manage applications then see if it works. This has cured all of my Google+ sync issues. Lastly, try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling it.

Is anybody on here able to initiate a video call via Google Talk from their g2 to a desktop Talk client? Every time I try it connects for 2 seconds and terminates the connection.
What'd driving me crazy is I can accept incoming video requests and it works perfectly.
I'm on a stock rooted device, pretty sure I had this problem before root.

At&t has a Wi-Fi only restriction. There's a guide on the forums to enable video chat over 3G. Are you on Wi-Fi? That could be the issue but I'm not to sure, when I get home I'll test.

Tried to another Galaxy SII Specifically on Sprint. Also tried with the web based client. If you see a video talk option, then you know it works. I've tried with Desktop (web based or iChat based) and Phone based, to no avail.

Perfect. Much thanks!
My parents have Androids, but on Verizon (Droid Bionic's). I thought it was weird, but this is the same thing I was seeing as well. Connects for a second or two, then disocnnects and says there's a problem with the network. If they contact me, it works perfectly fine.
I don't know what happen. Some photos I can view, but for 99% of them, I get "Cannot retrive the photo at this time. Please try again later?" I can open them fine on home computer so I do not think its an access issue?
Any thoughts or clue?

And I know why!!! Just looking, I had Version 1.8.1. After I deleted and went to reinstall, the version on the market is "Depends on Device!" So instead of investing some $$$$ in the masses, they are doing one off's as they get to it. Meaning they likely fix a bug for one device and break another!

I'm having a weird issue that I can't quite figure out the cause of. I have my Sprint S3 rooted and have flashed the Blazer ROM 1.6 on it. I haven't had any issues that I know of until now. I have my work email, which is run on a Microsoft Exchange Server, hooked up to my phone. I get notifications fine, emails, invites, etc. However, randomly, emails will not show up in their entirety. It will show 5 or 6 lines of the email and then nothing else. If I forward the email to another account, like my gmail account, the entire email is there.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have tried searching and can't find anyone else with the issue. I thought at first it was my particular phone, but I returned it and got another S3 and the same thing happens.
Right now I have it back to stock, still rooted, and I'm not seeing the issue. That's what's making me think it might have to do with the Blazer ROM.
Hopefully someone else has come across this issue.
Should be in the Blazer thread not General......
You might try a full wipe and reflash. I have not heard reports of truncated messages.

I'm glade you like it as I have been using it for quite sometime now. I like that you can back it up in TB and take it with you from rom to rom. Plus you don't have to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself.
