Are You Getting Different Font Sizes w/in xda Threads? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I seem to be having a problem reading threads on xda forums with my S4. One post in a thread will be at a normal, readable font and the next post may appear in a micro-sized font. Very random. I am constantly having to pinch and zoom to read the smaller font and it does not word-wrap. Very annoying.
I'm using Chrome since I learned my lesson moving from the S3 to the S4. The stock browser had no ability to transfer my bookmarks from the S3 to the S4. Chrome syncs my bookmarks with my other devices (so just a little more info for Google to know about me!)
Is anyone else seeing this font problem?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

FWIW, your post came thru in a micro-font on my S4........

Weird.....
Both collindv's post and my follow-up post appear in micro-font on my S4 but normal on my laptop.
Any ideas what is causing this?

I wonder if it relates to how it was posted (I used tapatalk to post both comments)

I dont think tapatalk is the problem. I dont use it. I'm curious if we are seeing the same thing. On my phone only my first post is in the normal font. All the rest are appearing in the micro font. Is it the same on your phone?

Same thing happens to me and on any vBulletin based forum while using chrome only. Any other browser displays fine....I've switched to xscope and love it except not being able to have easy access to by bookmarks.
should also note I had this problem with chrome and chrome beta. along with not doing a good job of reflowing/resizing text block to fit the zoom level...I couldn't stand it.

The problem definitely seems to be caused by the Chrome browser. I hope a fix is in the works because the stock browser won't import or export bookmarks as far as I know. I learned that lesson when I switched from my S3 to the S4. Big pain.

I thought the "stock Google" browser was Google Chrome. Chrome does sync with my Google account and with my laptop and tablet. The problem is this wacky font issue.
By "stock", I'm talking about the browser Samsung puts on the phone. It has a blue Earth globe as its icon and is in the bottom row of icons on the Homepages. On my S3, that's the one I used (and populated with bookmarks) but was unable to save, move, backup or otherwise transfer them to my S4. If there is a way to do it with the Samsung browser, I would sure appreciate if you could let me know.
Thanks,
Rich

Stock browser is the stock AOSP browser. There are ways to replace the samsung browser with it or you can go and install something like ICS browser + from the play store which I used for a long time and actually performs better than the aosp browser IMO. Also syncs with google bookmarks just fine.
I installed CM asap after getting my S4 so I'm not sure of the functionality and limitations of the Samsung browser, sorry.

Notion Ink Apps on NOOKcolor [Working]

After some time lurking through the Galaxy Tab Forums I saw that some of the Notion Ink apps were ported to the GTab then tested and worked on the Galaxy Tab. I figured I would download the other apps and give them a try on our beloved NOOKcolor.
The first app I tested was the Mail'd App and viola, it worked. I set up my GMail account and it's been running great.

I tried the Calendar and Calculator apps with no luck; I get a parsing error notification. Additionally I was hoping that the QuickOffice HD would install but that didn't work either.
Members in the Galaxy Tab forum noted that the browser worked but need to make a few changes in /system -- see below [thanks Boushh]
Boushh said:
With the browser apk, you must first use root explorer and navigate to /system/app and rename your default Browser.apk to Browswer.apk.bak and then it will install. To go back to the stock modified samsung browser just rename Browser.apk.bak to Browser.apk.
Edit- I got mail'd working, just install THIS APK it's really sick!

I have not yet tested the Browser, Sniffer, Keyboard, or Canvas applications. Please do so at your own risk. I will attach the files.
All credit goes to Gojimi for porting these to the Viewsonic GTab and Boushh in the Galaxy Tab forums for making the email .apk. All I did was test them out.
Good Luck and please report back with any feedback on apps that work/workarounds to get them working.

thanks, the email is working fine and super awesome!
Installed Mail'd. Outgoing mail works fine but when trying to sync/receive I get a network unreachable error (standard Gmail is working fine in both directions). I tried changing the incoming server settings, but my changes will not save and revert back every time i leave the screen.

I'm getting a similar issue when trying to use a non-Gmail account. I'll see if I can sync any other accounts and see what happens.
it seems like when i try to use the back button via softkeys, the mail app crashes. anyone else have this problem?

I use Button Savior and though it doesn't crash, the back button is unresponsive.
UPDATE: I was able to install Quick Office HD. You must uninstall Quick Office (Barnes & Noble Version) via Titanium Backup then go ahead and install the Notion Ink Quick Office HD and you should be good to go. It works very nice too, optimized for tablets like the Mail'd app.
Great work! Dowloading now and will try to install after church. Thanks a bunch man.
Mail app works great, thanks! Browser gives a parsing error even after renaming.

Installed quickoffice and mail'd.
Only issue I see so far is you lose the status bar so you lose the menu button, and button savior does not work.
Oh, that and Notion appears to think you spell syncing like this..."synching".
sadly it looks like mail'd is based off the k9 framework and uses webdav instead of ActiveSync for exchange. This means no push email for anything other than IMAP idle. Too bad. I was excited for a second there...

[Q] *DEAL BREAKER* ... PLAY Button in Texts instead of PICS !!!

Hello, enjoying my new SGH-i777. I've rooted and easily tried many different ROMS over past 6 weeks, but I'm now so frustrated I'm feeling like going back to my iPhone. Please, please .. anyone help me, .... I'm used to with my iPhone getting pics in my text message thread with the pic immediately there, viewable, and ready to simply touch and expand to larger size if I choose to. With this phone, I either get a pic with a large Play button overlay, a box with "Download" written on it, or sometimes I get a pic just as I'm used to.
I hate this with a passion! All I want is to receive my texts with the pic embedded, view-able and ready to go. I don't want to have to touch a "Play" button then wait while something that looks like a video plays out before I can see my pic.
Is there a ROM, App, or script that I can add to get the same results as with an iPhone when pics are sent in a text message? I luv this phone and don't want to have to go back to my iPhone but this is sooo important to me that it is likely a Deal Breaker! I have AT&T grandfathered in unlimited text and data plan. I have tried ChompSMS, Handcent SMS as well as the native Messaging App that came with the phone. Please help if there is a simple solution that will fix this phone. Thx.
Pretty much use anything other than the stock messaging app whether it be Go SMS, Handcent, chompsms, etc to have something more useful when viewing MMS. You should also make sure that the "Auto-retrieve" option is checked in MMS settings in the stock messaging app.
MIUI's messaging app does what you want.
You receive a picture with a paperclip on it (I think), you touch it and it puts it up on screen. No other apps are involved i do not think... If they are its a seamless transition and you wont notice.
whoever thought the slideshow mms thing was a good idea was a complete moron.

Miui does exactly what you need. I just tried on mine. You tap the thumbnail within the sms message and it opens up the picture with pinch to zoom options - works flawless.

I use handcent and rarely see what you're talking about.
I only get the slideshow if the person sent multiple pictures in a single message.
I have seen that on other phones, and it is annoying.
Use anything else than the stock.
Go SMS is a good option. I use it and love it. That stupid play button is not an issue. Go SMS is very customizable too. Many themes available and you can make themes too. Don't give up man, these Android devices are all about the individual. You make it your own.
you can either flash miui or flash the mms.apk posted by simba501 in this thread (post #23). i used this mms when i was on custom stock rom and it works. no slideshow mms.
i was sick of the slideshow as well and i also didnt want to go with a 3rd party messaging app so i went this route.
miui message app runs flawless. i also came from iphone, so this was annoying for me.

Every app I've ever tried, besides for the stock app, turns pictures sideways.

Facebook App Xperia ICS = garbage

It seems that somehow Sony stripped down the Facebook App in favour of Facebook inside Xperia which is super annoying.
So far the Facebook App lacks viewing the full profile including images and profile information.
Now I'm forced using the web Page again.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Web application is far better than the actual phone app?
At least the website works, whilst the mobile application is buggy, slow and poor.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Sony just wants you to view the photos of your friends in the Album app i think, but that makes me wonder why you cant see the profile information? Maybe because of the contacts sync.
How have Sony reduced the Facebook app in favour of xperia inside. Are you talking about the actual Facebook app you download from the play store?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I think you should just dowload regular Play store app.
I think I know what he means... If i go to facebook through the app, it doesn't show the wall/info/photos tabs at the bottom of the screen, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

I do have the Facebook app from the Play Store and updated to the latest version and the Timeline just does not show. If I click on my name to go to the Profile I do not see the Timeline but the old style Profile. I wonder if it Sony who disabled it (does the Facebook app even allow this kind of interaction with their API?) or it's just a Facebook issue. But seems to be a Sony thing since so many people are having it.
Heh maybe it's FB. They often perform some bugs.
I actually rarely use it and use Web version instead....
It also fails to display the time line view through either method which just looks a bit old school.
I've compared it to Facebook on other ICS devices where it appears to be fine (as it was in our GB implementation), I'm really confused as to where the problem lies, facebook or sony?

I hardly believe Sony makes such limitation.
It's maybe the FB bug on ICS..
I cant believe after 2 pages no one notice that the original FB apps on the stock rom is the earliest version perhaps 5mb .
Just update it at play store to get the latest one ( 13mb ) .
As easy as drinking water .

Pop Up Ads All Over

I have just, in the past couple of days, developed a pretty serious issue with pop-up ads appearing all over the place on my phone. They come in two different ways. 1st is when an ad pops up over the top of another app. This has happened with GO SMS and with the Facebook app for sure. I can't recall what other apps it has happened with, but I don't get the impression that the ad is related to the app I'm in. I've had them pop up on the home screen as well.
Here is an example of a pop-up ad when I opened GO SMS:

I also have it happen where I open my browser (I use Chrome) and it will automatically launch a new tab, then the tab will act as a redirect and send me to the Play Store for another app (basically sending me to the download/install page for an app).
I don't recall installing any apps just before this started happening. I believe that my app list is the same before and after this issue, but I'll keep looking. I have not rooted and am using the Nova Pro launcher, if that helps at all.
How can I figure out what is causing this and, most importantly, how do I make it go away? A factory reset is an option, but I'd like to keep that as a last resort if possible.
Thank you for any and all help.

Air Push Detector said it is not necessary for Android 4.1+. I ran it, though, and told it to scan anyways. It didn't find anything.
It is driving me nuts that I can't nail down where these are coming from.
Try uninstalling gosms. If I remember right. When I tried that crapp it was full of ads

I can try that. If that is the offender, that'll be a real bummer. Used it for about a year, now, between my S3 and Note 3 and never had an issue. I got pretty comfy with using it as a messaging app, too.
That said, if it is going to cause pop-ups like this, it isn't worth it.

You recently change a theme in it or something?
Many of the "free" addons to Go* products are full of this crap.

I had an add on, but it was from a while ago. I can't really think of a thing I changed between it not happening and happening.
I have deleted GO SMS, though, and have not experienced the issue since. Looking like that was the culprit. Now I just need to find an acceptable SMS app.

Try an app called adaway that should help do a search here in the forums you will find it.
