zooom problem - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi, i want to zoom in and zoom out on web pages like galaxy and other cells with two fingures movement, but it is not working in lg, how can i do this?
thx

No, that's only for the TouchWiz 4 browser. And that's tied down to the TW UI.
So it would be impossible to port it over.

Your multitouch isn't working? That is weird.

I hate lag!

I have noticed that my phone is extra laggy since gingerbread. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do about this? I have turned off animations, live wallpapers, and am running launcher pro (which has been force closing a lot). The home screens and app drawer are occasionally laggy, but the browser is really bad. Again, this is the one area where the iphone kicks the **** out of android. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

LG's crappy code is probably to blame. Flash a custom ROM. CM7 if you want extra features. EaglesBlood 2.3.3 if you want stock feel.
To add to that, am I the only one who thinks froyo was smoother and faster?

I was having the same issues. Just last week I rooted my phone and installed xboarder's rom based on the ota update 1.2.2. My runs smooth, and it runs cold even when I play on it for hrs at a time. My phone started randomly rebooting after the official gingerbread update from LG. Clearly LG programmers are incompetent. My phone runs much better rooted. I suggest you do the same.

I am running xboarders rooted rom. Sorry I didn't mention that. It's not like it's unusable or anything. I just hate how powerful these phones are and that they aren't greasy, buttery smooth. I just feel like android in general should run better than it is today.

What exactly is being "laggy"? Switching homescreens? Scrolling? Opening/closing apps? Other things?
G2X CM7
Try ADW Launcher, I've found it to run better than Launcher Pro.

Try miui or cm. Anything that didn't start life with LG is completely smooth in my experience.

I like Go Launcher...it's really nice on Xboarder rom.
Lag??? There might be something wrong with your phone, cuz this is the fastest phone out hands down, my phone don't lag at all
I recently switched from Launcher Pro to Go launcher. I liked LP but development is growing stale to keep my interest.
None are really perfect but some work better the head others especially at optimizing stuff like switching screens.
I like the Lp widgets but the themes with Go.
AdW launcher has the most options but I can't settle on it for some reason. I bought the EX version.

Biggest issue is that it takes 5-10 second to respond after screen awake.

If you think the iPhones browser is smoother than Android, you obviously haven't used the most powerful Android device to date. The SGSII which uses a hardware accelerated browser. Its browser is the fastest mobile browser I've used to date. It loads pages and flash content twice as fast as my Sensation and G2X. The phone as a whole just feels so fluent. Whether you like Samsung or not, there is no denying they know how to code and optimize Android. In my opinion, they are the best when it comes to optimizing there Android devices unlike HTC and LG.
LG will never catch Samsung in the TV market in terms of display quality and they will never catch them in the mobile market.

Why the hell doesn't android use hardware acceleration natively? Makes me mad.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
G2X is pretty close to Galaxy S2 in general speed but stock browser is far behind. Maybe you should try other browsers like Opera Mobile/Mini and Dolphin HD.
I'm using dolphin right now. It's a little better.

The next update will have hardware acceleration. Ill tell you why it hasn't been implimented yet. It is a lot harder to code a operating system for multiple hardware configurations than it is to code for just one. It takes so many more man hours to figure out how its going to work on current handsets and cuter handsets.
In the end, if Android was only on one handset, it would already have hardware acceleration.

I know it doesn't help you a whole lot but in your OP, you compaired the iPhone to Android as a whole. I felt the need to tell you that it is not smoother than Android as a whole because there is a Android handset that bests it when it comes to overall smoothness, not only in the UI but also in the browser. If you would have said, "this is one area where the iPhone beats the G2X" instead of "this is one area where the iPhone beats Android". I wouldn't have brought it up.

Am I the only one that finds ICS slower than GB?

I don't mean slower in overall phone speed, but things like typing on the keyboard and bringing up the task manager seem to take forever.

Nah I've noticed it too. I went back to GB via Nexusmod earlier and forgot how much overall faster it was. ICS isn't that smooth. Probably why they are rushing 4.1 and "project butter"

I agree. I updated my Skyrocket to 4.0.4 this morning. I find several issues with this software. I believe I'm going to look into CM9 now...

GB is smoother for sure , but for sure less features ..
So it's your choice ..
By "smoother", I think they meant they added more transition effects. Like, when you're watching a video and you rotate orientation, it'll show an animation of it switching orientation as opposed to it just switching. I like it, but then I don't.

Agreed. Flash Sky ICS and leave stock in the rear view. The only good thing about the official release is source code.

The other useful feature that I miss is date in the notification bar. When you pull down notification bar down it use to show date now it's showing huge useless at&t branding. Kinda stupid.. We've got at&t permanent title in front of us below camera and on the lock screen which btw disappears after 2 seconds. Why do we need 3 att logos? Constantly to remind us that we're on att network?

You agree to it. You sing a contract.
BTW i don't know what all of you talking about with slow ICS. I get upgrate and i think ICS is at last twice faster then GB... Or this is just me..

Wow I can't believe your still on GB
Chimaira Android 4.0.4 (Beta2)
I don't believe that it's Android, rather the poor development on AT&T and Samsung. From what I understand, CM9 is relatively stable and now with the official out, hopefully a stable version will release soon.
I hear CM9 is quite snappy. While this update isn't terrible, but noticeably more sluggish than GB...

[Q] Is this lag normal?

I have a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it is very laggy on the home screen. Is this normal? Here is a video I made with my camera
http://youtu.be/a3tyXOrQ4oo
Before I send it back I just need to check if it is normal or not
Without seeing the video, I'd say it's normal for the default home screen (Touchwiz) to be a little laggy when compared to a vanilla Android (like the Nexus 7) or a third-party home screen like Nova Launcher.
I'd personally recommend Nova Launcher.
it is not THAT laggy. and with JB update it is smooth.
In slow motion land, that is not normal. Try making a proper video first
not normal @ least in my experience mine has virtually no lag! I think that the opinion That Touch wiz is Laqqy is a bit off I have both the
S3 and N 10.1 and neither is at all Laqqy

Thanks for the useful comment.
I have updated the video to a higher quility.
Also waithing for Samsung Techy to call me back regarding this.
I did the slow motion to show the jumps it makes. some times it is smooth to some extend but most of the times it jumps huge parts.
Factory reset did not fix it and installing JB will void my warranty. So if there is a hardware issue then I will be stuck with it,
Try a different launcher from the play store like Nova it apex see if that helps. Also try clearing the cache for the touchwiz launcher if another launched works then u know its not hardware.

Galaxy S4 browser?!?!

As Samsung continues its apparent march towards closed source am I the only one surprised at how bad Galaxy S4 browser is? It is slow, unresponsive at times, has no real fullscreen option and quick settings have been removed. It also has no ability to sync with Google accounts. Am i the only seeing this?
It has its perks on Some things then there's other stuff like you mentioned that doesn't make it good. I usually use chrome but I'm just trying to find another alternative that has flash options besides xscope and firefox. I really love dolphin browser but can't figure out how to run the flash option for it.

I agree with you, that's the browser I'm using a well. It just seems that Samsung took a huge step backwards with the GS4 browser when compared to the GS3.

It sucks badly. The browser from the note2 works on it but the bookmarks tab crashes every now and Then.

It seemed OK at first but the more I use it the more awful it seems.
It can't reflow text so you have either zoom out and read tiny text (the text size option helps a bit but not as good as reflow) or zoom in then scroll sideways back and forth. The f-ing SGS1 had this!
The window manager (ie. tab selector) thing takes forever to come up. Does anyone else have it refuse to come up at all? (sixftsix apparently) That happens to me about once a week.
GS4 Stock browser is chrome based... which is not updated sloppy old chrome plus some airview/multiwindow support.

I agree the browser does suck. I recently started using Lightning Browser and it is really fast compared to the stock one. I even got flash enabled although it isn't the best.
I downloaded Lightning Browser here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones
I downloaded flash from here (uploaded by ashik992):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1936895&d=1367734159
You do have to access the settings menu and enable flash after you install it.
I've only been using it about two days but I'm considering purchasing the paid version.
If you guys give it a shot let me know what you think.

For some reason Google Keyboard improves my accuracy. Maybe it's just coincidence.
I un-installed it though. Aesthetically it was horrible, and it took up too much space and used too much ram for my liking. Back to stock SJB 8.0 keyboard. Loving it.
