I have a very strange issue: regardless of which browser I use I'm missing check boxes, radio buttons and combo boxes. There is no indication that there is supposed to be an input at all. If I click in the area that you would expect an input to be it seems as if I've clicked something, but there's no indication of the state of the input.
Vegan GB with Dolphin HD. I've tried Firefox,sky fire and the stock browser.
TIA

All of them. For example at the bottom of this reply page there is a 'Post Icons' fieldset filled with radio buttons with pictures beside them. When I look at this page on my gtab none of the radio buttons are there. Same thing happens with checkboxes.
I don't have a tab with me right now to post a screenshot, but that's the general idea.

Odd, I am running veganginger and am NOT seeing that on either dolphinHD or the stock browser.
Did you install a custom theme?
*Sigh*
In your browser, you need to change the setting to allow picture and flash all the time.
Also, in some text box fields, what you need to do is long press the menu button first to bring up the keyboard and then press on the text box. For example, for the search option of this thread, you have to long press the menu button to bring up the keyboard and then press the search option and then press once on the text box that appears.
If you are using dolphin HD, in the settings look at the upper right hand corner and you should see an option that reinitiate your dolphin browser. Click on that and make sure you choose all the time instead of on demand.

I did. I think it's called HoneyBread. I'll try going to back to stock and see if that helps. Thanks, I didn't think of that.

Why the "*sigh*", did I miss something obvious?
I'm having this issue with all of the browsers, not just Dolphin. I'll still try your solution though.

If reverting to stock fails, you should be able to re-flash ginger (backup first, in case I am totally wrong) without clearing data or cache or anything, which should replace all the system files with stock versions for that rom.
I'm thinking the theme thing borked some core apk/image library. Hopefully reverting will do the trick but if not, you can always take the above nuclear action

Yeah, I was thinking nuclear , but I'll try to reflash first. I didn't know I could do that. I'm using titanium backup linked to my dropbox account, so I don't see either as horrible options.
Thanks for your help!!!!

On my old Dell Streak, and my Asus Transformer, I can zoom in on text until it was a comfortable size and double click it. This word wraps the text to the size of the screen.
I can't seem to do this on my beautiful new SGS2 The menu option "Auto fit pages" doesn't appear to work this way (although it is better than nothing)
Is there a way?
If u do search you'll definitely find answer in forum. I use Dolphin HD browser which does it with no probs.

I did search and although people asked the question, nobody appeared to have a valid answer.
opera mobile does it too.

I use Dolphin and it doesn't do it. Neither on any other application. So what's the solution?
On my old HTC it worked on anything I did it on.
I don't think that there's a solution for this (at least in the stock browser that I use), though I'm fine with the 'Auto-fit pages' option on.
What you're asking for is exactly what "Auto-fit pages" is for, and it works perfectly for me. I can only guess that something is different between our devices (branding changes, different FW versions etc..)
Despite being overkill for such a small issue, is trying a different ROM out of the question?
Solved it by enabling Pinch-zoom button. That is the -/+ that shows up in the bottom right of the browser when you touch the screen.
Strangely you have to use this and zooming with your fingers won't work as stated by this thread.

Pinch-to-zoom doesn't do it, but double tapping to zoom in/out does.
Double tapping won't get the zoom you require it will zoom to fit the screen.
Try enabling Pinch in Dolphin browser. It works and is already enabled in stock browser.

Not true. It zooms to suit the "Default zoom" setting.
The first attachment is normal viewing, and the second is after I double-clicked the top left of the article. As you can see, the text is reformatted to fit the screen (not the other way round), and it is more than large enough to read. This is with default zoom set to medium.
I know this is an old thread, but I found it by searching for a solution for this problem as I now have a Note with the same issue, on ICS.
I think it's Samsung’s fault. It worked perfectly on my Galaxy nexus.
however, the good news is that there is a solution.
Download ICS browser+ from Google Play. Its great.

You have to double click twice... First double click = zoom, second double click is text refllow.
After the second double click you can pinch and zoom to any desired level and the text will reflow accordingly :good:

Tried it but it won;t work. I did the automatically text reflow too option too and when I zoom in just past the screen it automatically zooms out.
Even if I do a double tap it automatically zooms out.
Maybe it's my firmware. I'm on stock "I9100XWLPD". Could you or anyone else that got this working let me know which "exact" stock firmware you have so I can give that a try?...
^ Tried 3 other Stock ROMS this morning and no dice with this working on ICS Browser+.
Which exact Stock ROM versions are you guys getting this to work on?...
I've noticed that in the stock browser, you can actually use ctrl+t and ctrl+w to open and close tabs. However, it seems that every time I press ctrl+w it closes two tabs instead of just one. does anyone else have this problem?
Nope, but to add to the topic I did just notice that Ctrl -C and Ctrl -V work for Copy and Paste functionality.
Also holding the soft key back button will bring up your history tab in the browser. My 2 cents.

oh thats cool you learn something new every day, right
I also have the ctrl+w problem
When using ctrl+w my browser also closes 2 tabs.
I am using the Nordic version of the Transformer keyboard, labeled "B70" series.

Opera mobile updated. I am not experiencing any lag at all. Every page scrolls smooth as butter. Typing seems better also!

thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try this out.
Yes version 11.1 has zero lag...using currently with thumb keyboard.
This browser works great! No lag at all, and the performance is great.
+1 . speedy typing with opera mobile and thumb keyboard
so, this confirms it's a software problem(no more blue-ish screen and lag in typing mode). Stock and dolphin browser better fix it soon too!

Wow, this browser is blazing fast. Big thumbs up!
(Changed my user-agent to Firefox 5.0.1).
So uh... yes it's fast and smooth but is anyone else getting alot of freeze ups using it? I've had 3 in the last hour while using opera. Tablet will just straight up freeze and I gotta hold the power button to reset.
The one problem I have with this is that when one enters a term in the Google search window, it returns results from Google's mobile search engine, and I can't seem to find any way of fixing this. Really annoying, given that I'm quite sure no one wants the mobile version of anything on a tablet.
EDIT: forgot about this trick - to get around this all one has to do is:
1) go to the standard Google search page (www.google.com)
2) once loaded, long press on the search box on that page; a window will pop up to "add search".
3) just add the search and call it Google, then go to the search window in the browser and select the new Google search engine option you just created.
4) and boom, a nice desktop version of Google search!

Disabling Speed Dial!?!??
...but now my latest issue is trying to disable the stupid Speed Dial page seen at the start of opera. I just want to have a normal home page activated. I did go into about:config and found the default home page entry option, but even though I entered an address and it did save, the browser still goes to Speed Dial at start up. Grrrrr!!

FYI having the browser UA to desktop does not affect the search window. I did edit my post to include a tip on how to get around this though

1) typing is indeed much better. no more blue highlights in text boxes which seems to be the cause.
2) text selection is steadier.. the cursor seems to pick the right position more accurately and without the real annoying cursor jumping.
Dislikes
1) when typing this response.. the typing indicator started right in the middle of the reply text box with no way to put it at the top line.
2) font is smaller than stock browser and dolphin HD
3) scrolling is not as smooth as stock browser and dolphin hd
4) loading pages is slower than stock browser and dolphin hd
5) no full screen viewing
6) bookmarks are not as easy to access like dolphin HD
with all that said.. it is such a relief to be able to type without lag and to be able to set the cursor more accurately. I'll stick to opera for now until dolphin or stock gets rid of the lag. opera's small font is really annoying though. anyone have a fix?

Type opera:config in the address bar. There is a section for fonts, I haven't tried editing it though to change font size.

yea I've tried to up the min font size under user settings, but didn't make a difference. I've set the scale size higher which did increase the size, but cuts off parts of the page at the right hand side now. I'll keep testing different settings
increased the min font size to 13 which seems to help. tried 14, but it made sites look weird and buttons got cutoff. also, it doesn't seem to apply the new font size to everything. it changed xda, but did a Google search, and the results were still the smaller size.
also more dislikes:
1) tab button doesn't work! example - pressing tab to switch text boxes
2) sometimes texts just disappear since for some reason, it forgets to focus on the text box

Yup, just realized this myself. That bites...
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a third party browser that resizes text when you zoom? All of my HTC phones do this, and I LOVE this feature! Is this something that has to be in the framework, or is it just coded into the browser apps software on HTC? My Transformer Prime does it also, but only if you double tap after zooming in, which is even better in my opinion. I've always used the stock browser since ICS since it seems to work well, and the only third party browsers I've ever used are Chrome, over screen, and dolphin. I know there's a lot of other browsers out there, but I really don't want to download and try them all to track down this feature, if it even exists in a third party one?
Try Opera...that is what I have always used and I really like it!
It worked with dolphine hd perfectly. You would have loaded a non-mobile page, double tap on any text and it wouldve zoom in and reflow, but that was before i updated to ICS. Now it wont work anymore. Could also be because of the latest dolphine update. I already contact them and got a reply, then i sent them a video of this issue. It reflows the text already on loading the page, zoomed out. You can still zoom in by double tapping, but the scroll wont stick, so you also go left or right if you wanna just scroll down.

Try turning the feature on in the stock browser.
Besides the text flow...the brightness thing that is separate from the system brightness is retarded. On the video player also.

Sorry guys. I should have been more specific.
Text Reflow = with the browser open go to settings>advanced>auto fit pages
Brightness issue = turn off power saving in the notification pull down + then open stock browser, then go to menu>Brightness and colors>Click auto brightness and make sure default is checked.
There is also an option in the display setting of the phone labeled "Auto adust screen tone". It is supposed to help battery life. I have it checked.
Both these issues drove me crazy until I figured out the new settings. Coming from GB, there is a bit of a learning curve.
Hi Guys. I am assuming you figured it out, but the thread was buried quickly so I bumped it just in case.
Does anyone else experience the text reflow issue in dolphine hd browser on ICS as i explained in this thread? I have auto fit pages on. But it doesnt work properly. And the most annoying missing feature is scroll stick. It all previously worked on GB.

Wish I could help Frank. It is working fine for me. Have you tried deleting Dolphin and starting from scratch with it? I have four different browsers on my phone until I settle on one that works for me. Learning a little more each time I try different ones. GB and ICS are very different in appearance and functionality. One step forward, two steps back.
On a separate note...can anyone delete the stock browser bookmarks that were included with the phone? I have also tried to reorder my favorite bookmarks with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Well this sucks if its only on my phone (galaxy s2).
Yes i reinstalled dolphine, but it still has the problem.
I attached a photo with a loaded page. Notice how the text in the posts is already reflowed? And if i double tap, it zoomes in, regardless of text beeing there... it just zoomes in, in the middle of where i db tapped... ill see where dolphine support gets me.
