Is there anyway to dismiss the row of thumbnails once you're inside an album in the gallery app?
I remember those thumbnails used to go away once you tap on a picture on the S3, but now they're there all the time.
Swipe to the left?

single tap does nothing. Double tap zooms in the picture, with the bottom row of index remaining on screen.

I misunderstood your post then.
Initially you see a list of albums, then once you go in the album you see the column on the left. Swiping to the left gets rid of that.
But once you go into a picture, you see the row you're talking about.
On my phone it disappears after 3-4 seconds, or when I do a single tap in the middle of the picture for example.

I see, from your signature, that you have a Note 2, and the behavior that you're describing is the expected one. The row of index should go away once you've tapped on the picture, or it'll go away after a few seconds. I've had many android devices, and all of them do that, except on my S4. So I was wondering if there's any way to resolve it.

Guess i should update it then huh?
I'm using the S4 now and that's the behavior on there.
Maybe try a reset? Data wipe?

I see... may I ask if you have flashed any ROM? I'm on Hyperdrive RLS2, maybe that's the problem.
Hi,I linked the thread that I started asking the same question, on page 1. I am on Hyperdrive and this is happening to me, so maybe it is the problem?
For me though, doesnt really matter anymore as I have bought Camera and Gallery JB+, which are superior (other than losing a few of the Samsung app features). These replace the stock apps and act just as the normal JB apps. No issues like this exist that I can see.
Maybe grab the gallery apk from the stock ROM if you are also running Hyperdrive ROM, but that may or may not fix the issue.
Also, if you use the stock gallery and camera apps, they will be cut off and weird looking if you happen to decrease your DPI in the build.prop like I did (I just went from 480 to 460 and even that causes a column of gallery albums to get cut off). Again, using Gallery JB+ fixed this for me as well.

Can Gallery JB+ sync picasa albums?
I believe so but not 100% sure. I don't see why not, it acts just like stock JB app in every way.

yikes, i'm at a lost then. Clearly I'm not the only person with this problem, and I do know how to use the gallery app, since I have an S3 and a Galaxy Nexus right next to me, and they behaves as one would expect.

Do you have Lightflow or an app that needs accessibility access? Then that might be the culprit. I deselected Lightflow and my gallery app could go full screen without having the top and bottom bars. It's a Tradeoff if we want to use those apps.

Disable Lightflow's accessibility and Gallery app goes back normal.

I remember reading somewhere on these forums that Lightflow activates the Talkback feature. Then that got me thinking when I selected multiple photos and I heard the talkback speak. I thought that Lightflow could be the problem and tried it out and boom. I received my answer.

No it is all working perfectly. By the way I am not referring to the Task Manager coming up but to the dock buttons changing icon/app.
Might be something to do with the phone scanning the SD Card on start up for icon images, if you've set a custom icon for the apps in the dock.
Try to install everything again, maybe work.

Well that looks like stock touchwiz, so the icons can't be custom.
If what you mean is that he may have set custom apps then you might be right. If the apps that were wet are on SD, they might not be available when booting so it will pick some random ones.

Phone is completely stock. Usual "Phone", Contacts", "Messaging" and "applications" icons appear after about 30 seconds as is said above. None of these are on the SD card. It just strikes me as odd that they change and always to the same apps.
I also have the same issue, noticed it started happening only after I put exDialer and exContacts previously before reverting to stock Phone and Contacts. Haven't found a solution.
ok, so this has been happening forever, and I've just lived with it, but when I moved to ADW Launcher EX I have an issue where tapping dock icons doesn't always launch properly. Its not a screen issue, because the icon highlights when its pressed, and stuff not on the dock works fine. I often have to hit it a few times to launch email, drawer, etc.
any ideas?

I have had that issue on different ROMs. Haven't seen it on CM7 however and I'm unsure why. I just assumed it was buggy and didn't worry about it. after a couple presses it would usually launch.
do the default buttons give you the same issue, like X for exit and such? That'll tell you it's not related to the programming of the button or the program itself.

two reasons, one is I like to try different things and tinker with the phone, and the other is that nobody really knows what the update is. All that fear is just speculation. Its even likely correct, but now that the soak has never come nobody really knows now do they?
Obviously stock isn't ideal for folks like us, but I've got it tarted up and customized enough that I was OK with it that way waiting for the soak, and would have been OK with it if I was stuck that way for a month or two until somebody found a workaround.
Brave last words lol.

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.

watching the video, it seems quick settings are back, it's the version that mik made, idk if football added it in or htc?
I really want to change my recent apps button to be used as a menu button. Every single app has the 3 dots in a different place. I want to able to press a single button in a centralized place and have the same action occur across every app. It's dumb they would get rid of that. Quick Settings aren't bad, either.

It is also supposed to be silky smooth and allow for lag free movement with live wallpaper. And by what I saw on the video it looks very promising.

I agree with this 100% :good: the "Settings" button is one of the most used buttons, and having it bounce around is a real PITA.

Email or otherwise contact the developer of the app and tell them to upgrade them to the new standard. Once they do that it will get rid of the 3 button bar at the bottom of the screen and settings should be in the right location.
On my s4 running stock rooted mdk, I use the native gallery app to view photos and am always annoyed by the preview strip of thumbnails obscuring the bottom of the frame when viewing a single picture full screen. I'm not sure how this got activated, but I can find no way to turn it off, and searches haven't helped. Anyone have a solution?

Must be a problem with your setup. The strip will go away on its own after a few seconds or if you tap the screen. Pretty sure there is no setting for this.
Data wipe and reboot availed nothing, but good suggestion, and thanks for confirming that this is abnormal behavior. I haven't really messed with the system apart from rooting MDK and freezing the OTA processes so I don't lose my unlocked bootloader...so I'm not sure what I did that would've messed up the gallery. But if I finally get round to installing a 4.4.x ROM, perhaps the problem will go away.
