[Q] CSS overflow fix

I am new to the Android community. I just purchased a G Tablet and would like to get involved in the developer community. Today is my second day of Gtab usage. I noticed that you cant scroll within a page. I looked around and some people are saying it is not a javascript problem but a css problem.
Does anyone know if there is a fix available or being worked on?
Thank you for any insight.

Hi,
I asked about this a long time ago, so thanks for that link! I just posted on the issue there, maybe others could also..
Also, when I was emailing the Xscope developer awhile ago, I think he said that all other browsers use Webkit, except for Xscope, but I noticed that Xscope also has problems scrolling w the same pages, so maybe we can email him to see if he can fix it in Xscope at least?

Yeah i posted up earlier in that thread. I have been watching this for a while. Maybe honeycomb will address this problem. Although that won't necessarily help my original droid.

Css overflow fix!!!!
The new firefox RC browser will do overflow correctly. I just tested it on my UOP forum site. You can scroll the overflow with a single finger!!!!

Thanks for pointing that out!
Fyi, I just trled Opera Mobile 11 and it looks like that works also

Opera vs Firefox
Now I didnt play with the settings on Opera 11, but it appears the way it handles the CSS overflow is by altering the webpage to show the entire DIV. So you dont have to scroll. It can make some pages look funny.
Firefox actually lets you scroll within the DIV with a single finger.
Opera may be able to do that too, but I did not fiddle with the settings to find out.
Also Firefox does not have flash support yet. I did not check Opera 11, but I think I read that it was flash ready.

You're right about the formatting w Opera. And yes Flash is working w Opera, but not Firefox.

[Q] HELP! Browsers crashing

My browsers (I've tried them all), crash. Didn't find anything in the forum when I searched. Seems to occur when there's more than 2 tabs open. Was happening with 3.1 as well as 3.2. Is this common? Thanks for the help.

add opera mini

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Thanks, but I've already tried those browsers. All crash when there's more than 3-4 tabs open. I think I'm going to change my settings not to play flash content automatically. It would be nice if I could use my SD card as additional RAM.

[Q] How often do you think it is an appropriate time to update your mobile browser?

HY,these days is good to have a browser that supports flash adn html5 because these are the most used formats.Chrome is a good browser,but doesnt have flash ,so no flashy stuff in some sites,but it performs very well,my suggestion is to stay with dolphin browser for the next 2~3 years.
Please press thanks if i helped.

Hey,
Dolphin Browser supports them.
But the YouTube sometimes doesn't work on HTC one. There's just voice with no video. Except this, Dolphin Browser is awesome.
Worth a shot.

Dolphin browser on nexus 5?

I don't like wasting peoples time so I have searched and I can't find a answer, basically I am using dolphin browser on my new 5 and the double tap to zoom and the pinch to zoom don't work. I have cleared the cache and reinstalled but is still the same.
Are there any other 5 users having this problem?
Thanks again.

Has Dolphin been updated for 4.4?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516385
In that thread, a couple of people discuss Dolphin's pinch-to-zoom feature. Have you tried using Jet Pack with Dolphin? That seems to be what those users are doing.

Comments specifically about the pinch-to-zoom feature working smoothly, and notes he has Jet Pack installed.

Thanks for the jetpack recommendation

Yes, the jetpack has been updated and fixes the 4.4 issues. Dolphin has been my goto browser for at least the past year. Every time I have tried something else I always return to Dolphin.

I had the same issue, I installed their Dolphin beta (it shows up as a different app in the Play Store) ..they have it fixed.

Wow this guy knows how to search and make me feel like a right plank!
Thanks very much for time fella, I have now tryed jet pack but still no work is. I guess I will have to try and get used to crome until it gets a update.
Thanks again.

The updated KitKat 4.4 update for Boat Browser and Dolphin Browser are now working on my Nexus 5 running stock rom & kernel. Dolphin with Jetpack runs nice in full screen mode but BB will not run full screen, feedbacks sent to developer via Play Store. Chrome does run full mobile screen.

Just a quick update I uninstalled both jet pack and the normal dolphin browser and then installed jet pack first and was prompted to install the normal browser from the play store and now tap and pinch to zoom work OK!
Problem sorted thanks everyone.

I just happened to be following that thread already, that's how I knew it existed. The search function is often very unhelpful on XDA. I have better luck using Google search and looking at results from XDA pages that way.

Thanks again for the help man!

Corrupted downloads through Google Chrome

Every time I want to download a .pptx file through Google Chrome it says file download completed, but when I try to open it through quickoffice, it says file corrupted. If I download the file through dolphin browser it works fine. Anyone else having this problem? Also, on a side note, anyone else finding the new download screen with the loading bar that takes up the whole screen on Chrome unbelievably annoying? Thanks in advance!

Yeah Chrome is exceptionally well at downloading corrupted files and has been for a while. Especially with anything android related. I generally use Opera Classic browser for downloads, Dolphin browser is pretty good too.

And specific fixed that you know of? I'd rather not have to completely switch browsers. In fact, just last month, Chrome was working fine for me. Ever since the update that made the download screen into the loading bar
(Pic 1). I've been having problems (Pic 2).

Unfortunately no I don't know of a fix, next update hopefully. I've had issues using Chrome for downloads only quite a few times. Like any time that I've downloaded any ROM with Chrome it's corrupted. I definitely prefer Chrome as well and still use it daily. I really only use Opera Classic for downloads. If you download a lot you could check out Opera Mini, it's a lite weight version of classic.
