i try to set it in 'about:config' but it has no response! i have checked the box of show scroll bar but no change! can anyone help! many thanks!
i havent tryd this so just guessing, but isnt it like the other scrollbars? where you have to hold your thumb far right for the scrollbar button to 'grow out'?
i've tried but the scroll box dont come out!
it is very inconvenient especially when need to drag down to the bottom. now i have to scroll with finger many times! pls help!
Has anyone found the solution to this problem yet?
Come on guys? Am I the only one who visit long web pages?
did anyone find a solution to this.
Is is not possible to have a pop-out enlargened scroll bay in Opera.
Sorry guys but Opera just doesnt have a real scrollbar. All you can see there is a sort of indicator, not more not less. It is just not an active part of Opera just a visual thing. You cant do anything about that...
How can these very basic function be missing in opera which is supposedly one of the best browser!
Even stranger is that I spend two hours searching and noticed that not much people are complaining about this......
Very bad when trying to read entries from wikipedia. Had to flick my finger till I feel like throwing the phone out the windows! Guess I've to start searching for an alternative browser.....
I often read large documents with opera. Getting to the bottom of one webpage I had to swipe down 500 times - yes I counted them!
I agree this should be a standard function of any browser.

Aldiko book reader renders the pages a little bigger than the screen, so after a few pages the text starts to move to the right, and on the left of the page appears text from the previous page. After a few pages, depending on the book, this becomes unreadable.
Any solution or settings for Calibre (or other convert program)

Hi there mate, sorry to hear about that, the driving force for my X10 was that the screen made an amazing ebook reader. As of yet i have not hit your problem
I havnt used their internal store i imported my own and used this converter
(http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub) so maybe try re-converting or re-downloading
may i suggest also turning off oreintations AND / OR animations i have them both OFF and they may be the reason.
Does your ebook have may picutres? or iregular formatting?? that might be the issue
reinstall the program, im using the premium version which as far as i know has nothing new its just to suppor the dev's but maybe try that??
let me know if it works or not
ALSO wat sub model im using the x10i from NZ wbu??

sorry just re-read your post and i didnt realise that you have an x10 mini, still try some of my suggestings, it may just be your tiny screen size
I think that is not problem screen size, with FBreader or WordPlayer have not problem with rendering,only with Aldiko.Will try some of Your suggestions
THX
well as far as im concerned aldiko is the un-disputed best ebook app on the market and if i were in your shoes i'd try my hardest to get it to work, but if it doesnt work for ya wat can you do?? SHORT OR REINSTALLING THE OS??? and u dont wana do that!!!
It definetely has to do with the small screen size, unfortunately.
Maybe in a future update of the Aldiko app, the low screen resolution will be better supported. But in general, such small screens are not intended for reading.
Maybe help Update.
Reading is OK,I step from K810i to X10 Mini and is perfect.

I have a similar problem, though the other way around. As each chapter starts in Sun Tsu "The Art of War", that comes with Aldiko, the page is correctly displayed, but for each new page within a chapter you see a little bit more of the next page on the right of the screen and a little bit more of the page you're on disappears on the left. I have found no layout settings to fix this. I assume you all can reproduce this and that it is due to a bug in Aldiko that will hopefully be corrected.
Problem solved after new Aldiko update.
Newsr had a couple of problems that I will report to the developer but I was wondering if there is an app that can mark as read while you scroll instead of clicking on each feed to mark as read.
Thanks!
i use feedly on both my phone and TF, its awesome on both.
I use feedly as well. Its awesome

Retab is pretty good
Check out news360 also. Pretty good news aggregator and awesome concept
Feedly is awesome. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
News360 widget is slick!
Taptu for me. Tried the others and they don't seem so easily customisable and simple yet slick to use.
I'm quite enjoying Pulse. It can import your Google Reader feeds (although it can't export its own feeds back to Reader), and for any feeds you have in both Reader and Pulse, the has-been-read flag will be synced.

You can actually get it to sync? I've tried it several times and all I get is to check network connectivity.
Personally I've yet to find one I really like.
Feedly doesn't seem to sync fully or quickly for me. There have been times that I know I've read an article already and it still shows up. Also I find the layout kind of non-intuitive. When I hit "home" on it I keep getting back to different places.
Retab has a better layout, if a bit crude at the higher levels. Once I'm in a section though it does flow nicely. The problem again is that it doesn't sync or track the read state between levels. If I go into my "android" reader folder and read all of the articles it still shows I have unread when I go back up to the top level until I hit refresh.
News360 is cool looking but dead in the water for me. Twitter and Facebook are the dumbest places to look if you're trying to predict what I like to read. How about, oh I don't know, my google reader account? No? Ok, I'll take a look again when you decide that I can decide what I want to read on my own.
My real issue with all of the tablet readers is that they've all focused on being "different" with their look and feel and have failed with the basic fucntion of getting my news and keeping it organized efficiently. That's probably why I keep going back to NewsRob. It's butt ugly on a tablet, but it syncs appropriately and uses local cacheing so the whole damn list doesn't re-load every time I open the app.

Please do let me know what those issues are, so I can fix them.
I have a beta right now that improves the "mark all as read" performance in a serious way.

I sent you a PM about those. Not sure if you received it.
The bugs are:
1) In portrait mode, the app still shows the three columns.
2) Feeds that are in other languages (right-to-left) display the div/html code in title bar.
Thanks!
Is there any chance you could make Newsr sync items that are shared by my contacts under the contact name as a separate feed as per the Google Reader website? Currently the only way to see them is by looking at "All Items".
Also, can you make Newsr sync read items as well as unread? Sometimes I accidentally mark something as read and then want to go back to read it again. I can't seem to do this with Newsr.

I second this.
Also, I just discovered the open-article-with-inapp-browser button. How about loading all links in-app instead of opening the Browser? Example: digg articles.
+1 for Pulse here as well. I'm loving the interface and search function.
Pulse is no good if you have lots of friends in Google who share things and you want to share stuff with them.
The integration isn't there, it just grabs the feeds and that's it.
Ok here I go.
Can anyone or has anyone developed an app for an android pad that inverts the colors.
Kind of like the option on iPhone/pad.
Really need this for reading web pages and PDF files.
I have a sight problem and it's the one thing that will solve many issues for me.
Here's hoping.
Jasper.
Ok lol. I guess that's a no.
I never saw something of this on android....

Try EzPdf Reader, it has a night mode that inverts the colors.
Hello,
For PDF reading I suggest RepliGo Reader, also have an option to invert colour.
If you really need to reader an internet page using the inverted colour you can save the page to PDF using Firefox and read it with RepliGo Reader.
Best.
Great help guys.
I downloaded instafetch pro and it's perfect for reading web pages.
Will also try those PDF readers.
I love my a500 once again lol
The PDF readers are ideal.
Now does anyone know of any email clients that offer a night mode?
Hi!
One of the main reason I bought this particular tablet was to easily read and highlight in PDFs when I study. Since it got this wonderful pen I thought it would be simple to use fingers for zoom/pan etc and the pen to highlight but I've not found any app with that functionality. Of course I can go in a menu and select highlight but I want to use the stylus as an "always on highlight" marker.
ezPDF seems to do the trick but I can't tell, anyone who tried it and can tell if it works well or have any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for the same. I have to read and highlight many pdf documents. I have tried Officesuite pro, no luck, and Polaris, no luck. Adobe reader lets me highlight but its clumsy and highlighted text isn't shown if I open the pdf in another program afterwards.
You can use ezPdf with these settings:

I can confirm it works very well for big books/documents too. I use it on both Nexus 7 and Note, no performance problems.

I also use ezPDF. Great app.
So, I've tired ezPDF but I can't get the main function I requested to work. I can annotate and highlight, sure. But the program doesn't tell the difference between my finger and the pen so I can't use the pen as a constant highlighter and the finger to navigate through the pages. Can this be done using the application? This is critical, I have apps to view and annotate in PDFs that are at least as good as ezPDF, but none with that functionality.
Thanks!

I have purchased many pdf reader/editors... ezpdf, repligo, moon pdf, iannotate and so on..
The reason - I spent most of the time reading and editing pdf...
I also need to edit a lot of pdf which are scanned documents as pictures.. Ezpdf does the job best becoz of pre rendering the pages...
Over the years ezpdf has come on top.
However u cannot get the option of fully disabiling finger touch and use only stylus in any of the good pdf readers...
But the good thing is that when you use stylus, palm rejection works. The important thing is that you have to make sure the stylus is close to the screen before you rest the palm on the screen...
This works well for me... today I spent about 7 hours doing edits, the way in mentioned above and no issues..
They should work with lecturenotes developer. Lecturenotes allow making annotations using stylus while at the same time finger scrolls and controls zooming.

Thanks for your post! Well I'm starting to think that you are right, there is no app that allows me to use the pen as an always active highlighter.
I use LectureNotes for everything but pure books in pdf because I think it's as close to perfection as a note taking app could be. But import and handle 1000p PDFs is a no go and when flipping page is the main activity there are a lot better apps. At all lecture PDFs (10-20p) that we get LectureNotes is great, it allows you to mark and annotate in the PDF as well as easily inserting a page between if you need more space for notes.
What I want though, isn't just palm rejection. I still want to be able to switch page with my fingers. I want the program do treat my fingers and pens differently though, just like I sit with a book in one hand and a highlighter in the other when reading course literature I want to sit with my tablet in one hand and my stylus in the other. But the more programs I try, the less I think this is possible.

I totally agree, make the insertion and more importantly handling when switching pages of large PDFs more easy on LectureNotes and you got exactly what I'm looking for. Of course, keeping the bookmarks and be able to use them in a simple way is important as well. And it needs a little "read mode", because when I have one finger pan enabled I cannot rest my palm on the screen without accidently pan the page and I can't get the page flipping as smooth as every PDF reader. You know the, swipe your finger over the screen and it's getting to the next or previous page.

I wrote to the developers of both iAnnotate and ezPDF to recommend a fuller incorporation of the S-pen in annotating PDFs. Would love to see LectureNotes style ability to use the stylus to write and the finger to scroll at the same time. (Or perhaps have LectureNotes handle PDFs as more than bitmaps!). The folks from iAnnotate said they would consider it, so perhaps if more people write in and suggest it, they'll see that there is a good market for this.

Great initiative! Considering the amount of Note devices both in the phone as well as the tablet versions samsung has sold and probably will be selling there should be plenty of potential users for such an app. But to me, since most of my PDFs are for a specific class that I have notes for as well having all together in LectureNotes would of course be the best solution even if I think such features in LectureNotes isn't coming any time soon.

Adobe reader 10.4.2 allows reading and highlighting with pen it also has freehand drawing, adding text, text striking and note insertion along with other features. Tested with my note 10.1 and works great.
ezPDF works fine for me, and I do use it everyday for annotating my academic PDFs. I'm surprised how awesome it works for highlighting (are yo umaybe doing something wrong?), and I've gotten really quick at it. I have set the option to recognize palm in the settings. You can still change pages (or visualized column or whatever) either with the page button or with two fingers (holding the stylus, I find tapping on the next page button is the quickest). I often annotate and I love the possibility of freehand writing (somehow, it makes me feel like my PDFs are scanned versions of printed copies I've written on!), and for this I always use the pen (and not the pencil).
The only complaint I might have is that it takes a second to save the annotations when you change a tool, but that's fine for me.
Let me know if you need any other info!
Surely this isn't impossible, or even difficult for the devs of any pdf reader to include?
Obviously I am not a developer so I am guessing at this, palm recognition etc measure the surface area/pixels/electrical connections made simultaneously? If I am broadly correct then is it not possible to have settings that recognise palms( lets say 500 pixels or more) , fingertips(less than 50 but greater than 10 pixels) and stylus, with its considerably smaller surface area, as say 10 pixels or less?
Am I being very naive?
