So in my browser I got this annoying issue where sometimes it sticks to scroll either up, down, left, right. When I go diagonal on my screen it won't register the movement.. I tried dolphin and boat browser now, both the same.

Hello,
My browser never goes to the home page I set up. Invariably, when invoking the Browser the cached last page is displayed, even after a full "power off". There is no "go to home page" button either.
Anyone else has this, and any idea how to remedy this?
Thanks!
yes, noticed this last night and it was beginning to really bug me.
you can of course use bookmarks or open a new window, but surely there should be a home button....every other browser in the world has a home button!!
minor annoyance though, and not a deal breaker for me.
I know it sounds daft, but I think you can only change the homepage in the browser and not in the "Web n Walk" shortcut to the browser.
I was stumped by this too for a couple of tries. I've removed the web n walk browser shortcut now.
No Go to home page button is annoying me still though
yeah,you can change the homepage, that's not the problem.
but how can there not be a home button....that's just daft!!
i find when i open a page, i'll occasionally have 2 things happen....
either i'll start to type somewhere, then the keyboard will suddenly disappear and screw up what i'm doing & have to bring up the keyboard again, or....
i'll load a page & click on a link, then either the page will suddenly shift to the top of the webpage and think i clicking on something completely different, or it'll register that i clicked on a link right next to the one i actually did click on.
i wonder if i'm just trying to do things too quickly rather then just sit there patiently & wait till the page is properly loaded. hmm...

additionally, note webpage related, but i notice this phone is incredibly sensitive. like i'll be holding the phone and a finger may get close to the edge where the search button is & then think i clicked on search & the search menu will pop up, or sometimes i'll be playing a song & have my fingers too close to the edge where the "next" option is and accidentally switch to a different song. maybe i just need a bigger phone for my hands.
The search thing definitely happens to me when i hold it in landscape and wrap my index finger around the top, the case I got helps since the edge sticks up a bit on the corners.
I have no problems to report with the stock browser, but the screen is ultra sensitive...I feel like if you just hover your finger over it, it thinks you clicked something.

My Desire does the same thing (usually right after I've started the browser). Minor annoyance, but still annoying. I think that it might be a "stock browser" issue, because I used Dolphin HD for a while and I don't remember these problems until I got sick of how much Dolphin sucked in general and switched to the stock browser.
NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH BROWSER OR TYPING.

I use Boat browser and have no issue. To be honest with you the last time I used a stock browser was when the Xoom came out. I don't even know what HTC browser looks like. Lol

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)?

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
While playing with a Note at AT&T today, I noticed an oddity that i also experience on my Asus tablet. When I zoom in on a web page, as I scroll down the page tends to 'slide' from side to side.
On my phone, when I zoom in, it says 'locked' on the text and won't move to the side unless I intentionally move it left & right.
On the store phone, it was default web - on the Asus it's Opera.
Is there a setting so that as I scroll down it doesn't shift from side to side??
As I didn't find anything related, I wonder if anyone else have come across this, or if it's just my device.
When I open up an e-mail and scroll to the right, this is what happens:
First scroll seems fine, when I drag from right to left using the entire screen area.
On the second scroll, I put my finger on the right side of the screen, and when I start dragging to the left, the image jumps back 1/3 to the right, before moving to the left again.
This problem came right after I upgraded to 4.0.3 (stock I9100XXLPQ) and never happened on 2.3.6.
Tried both native email client and Enhanced Email from the marked. Same issue.
Seems to be related to e-mail clients only, as scrolling horizontally in the native browser and the gallery works just fine. Also dragging left/right in the Nova launcher is very smooth.
Anyone have an idea about what could be the cause to this problem?

Ok let me put this in a nice way. Samsung completely screwed up the scrolling in ICS. So to answer your question: Samsung is the cause of your problem...
Just flash your gingerbread or a good old cm9.
Have a good day :]
