Have you tried to turn off the motion activation?
My old Palm Pre used to do the same thing if I didn't let it load the whole page...
Is it every page or just one?
Sir i dont see any particular browser setting labeled motion activation what setting is that and where please

I used to see that with the original (2.3.4) stock ROM, but I haven't seen it yet since I switched to Unnamed. I'll give your fix a try if I see it again, it's very annoying!
It only ever happened to me on google search results.

In the stock browser, I hit menu then more and select text. It lets me select text, then what? How do I copy? I go to the same spot in the menu as "select text" after selecting and there are no new options. Long pressing on selected text also gives me nothing.
sent straight from my brain....
You highlight the text and then hit the highlighted stuff and it gives you option.

once it is selected long press on the highlighted text for the options menu
Or just switch to dolphin browser HD it has better copy/text functions and tabbed browsing.
I couldn't get down with the Dolphin Browser myself. I just use stock. Couldn't really find one I was happy with.
Agreed on the browser... I use stock, but I do have Skyfire installed for sites that the stock browser hoses up.

I don't like skyfire much myself but any browser is better than stock. I love the tabs and gestures in dolphin. It's pretty much Firefox but it actually pwns the android Firefox browser lol.
Android Firefox was absolutely horrible.

Yeah. Pretty much.
On my inspire when on any web page when I zoomed on the page to be able to read it would readjust to fit the screen. Making it so I didnt have to scroll left to right. Do u guys follow me?? Is there a setting in the gs3 to make it do this or am I stuck with pages that I have to constantly navigate?? Thanks for any help.

Tried Chrome??
No, haven't tried chrome. I like the stock browser....but I'll give chrome a try and see how smooth it is compared to stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA
Yes, give it a try its uber smooth.
I'm not sure if this is what you meant by readjust, but a cool feature that HTC had was as you zoomed in, the page was fitted again in the zoomed in screen and you didn't have to scroll left right up down to read the page. I have just installed chrome and once you zoom in, it doesn't readjust!
sent with WSGS3
On the browser, menu > settings > advanced > auto-fit pages. Is that what you're referring to?
Let me try it. Possibly
Edit. That feature is ticked. When you load the page, the page is fit to screen, but when you zoom in, htc browser realigns the text so that it fits the screen again. On the s3 you have to go left to right in order to read a text

I would also like this. Is HTC browser bound by framework??

Tried chrome it doesn't refit screen either. Thanks for th e responses tho....maybe someone will figure it out soon it's annoying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA
I get what you mean. On my Galaxy S1, the text would reflow when I double tapped the screen after zooming, and this was a really useful function. But it doesn't seem to be present on the S3. As far as I know, this is controlled by the rom and not the app itself, so we might not get it on the stock rom.
Every time I download an app it says no more room left on desktop. Even though I unchecked create shortcut it still adds to the desktop!! Anyone come across this? And how to get rid of it?

So in the Play Store app, in settings, you UNchecked the option "Auto-add shortcuts"? I ask, because you said you unchecked "create shortcut", but I don't have that option with that exact name on my phone...
is it the same app creating shortcuts or all the apps you [email protected]？
if it is one app, if it creats shortcut everytime you run it, it is created by application. If it creates sjortcut everytime you downloaded and inatalled it, it is created by play market.
are you using touch wiz home or 3rd party home app？if it is 3rd party home and was told no room on screen while actually you have, there may be some incompatibily and you can try other home app or report the issue to developer.

There are two ways of doing it:
1.
- Open your stock browser or chrome or Firefox
- bookmark your favorite website.
- goto bookmarks, long-click on anyone and select add to home screen.
2. From your launcher.
- long click, select add shortcuts,
- choose bookmark and select your favorite one.
With method two, you must have previously bookmarks that page on your stock browser at least.

Hi guys
Anyone else having trouble with chrome? I noticed it came with the phone so gave it a go but it seems to be missing bits.
Evertime I startvit comes up with takeca tour as I cant seem to set a home page. Browsing works and I can set bookmarks ect but when I read the help section it says to use the menu button on the search tab....there isnt one lol only the new tab button and search. The pics in the help section and app page on the market show the top as blue too yet mine is gray. Am I missing something here????
can you take a screen grab?
Works like charm and the effects are awesome when switching between windows

Mine works fine, only thing I'm missing is the smoothness of samsungs browser.
When I scroll and zoom in/out in chrome it is responsive but seems to be skipping frames, while samsungs browser is really smooth.
One reason that I've stopped using it looks like it doesn't support Full Screen mode, is that so or just that I'm unable to find it in the settings? .
