So I want to try out the Samsung Browser as the Chrome one is having issues recently with freezing intermittently
Is it me or auto fill for passwords and such only works with Samsung Pass.
I find it annoying as it uses the fingerprints or face recognition which with masks and gloves and such tends to not work great.
Is there any way for autofill to work without Samsung Pass like and behave more like chrome or firefox?
For example if I want to log into a page it will simply fill in the credentials without asking for my face or fingerprint
Thanks

Anyone know how to get to a screen calibration tool on the Captivate / Galaxy S? I've done a search and found a number of links for how to do it on HTC phones, but nothing for the Galaxy S.
My screen isn't far off, but on a number of different sites in the browser it will register a link below what I touched.
Thanks.

Sometimes the problem is how the browser is rendering the page/links. Now and then I have the same problem, zoom-in then zoom-out fix it.
I have this problem on google reader. It's like the ads that get tucked in at the bottom through the click-able area off.
So I usually try to open links from the bottom up. or just give it a little time to catch up... it usually does
My screen occasionally goes crazy on my captivate. I will be swyping in text and it will suddenly jump all over the place...one time it started in K9 mail, another in Dolphin mini browser. Once it starts the entire screen is effected and it makes navigation difficult and usually ends in a reboot. I am not sure if these apps have anything to do with it but I removed them and then reinstalled and that helped. Not sure if anyone has experienced something similar and if there is something in particular that might be causing it. It is extremely frustrating.
this issue has happened to me some times, I've noticed that all the times it happens is because the screen has humidity, water, sweat,etc. At least to me that is the reason.
My s7 is brand new however why do i find it more hard to use from scrolling to texting it seems like the screen does not respond to touch effectively like for facebook when i scroll it has delays or touch respond is not sensitive enough making my thumb tired compared to other android ?
Nah that's not normal.
Did you do a touch-test?
Dialer dial *#0*#
then use the 'Touch' button
Also do you feel that slugishness everywhere or just in certain apps?
Facebook app is not a good example, as it's a sh*t app.
I have the same issue. Wasnt sure if it was just the otter box glass causing it or what else. Tried the touch test, see a slight improvement. But still a lag....for me its all apps. Keyboard, etc

Do you havee the international version or something provider branded?
Also try clearing the cache in recovery mode.
Last try would be to run it in safe mode and see if it's still laggy with the 3rd party apps disabled
Hi, I hate having i screenlock, be it password, pattern or fingerprint - it's just to uncomfortable, especially being lefthanded and having a flipcover.
But, I'd still like to use fingerprint authentication in certain apps, like my bank's app. However it doesn't seem possible to activate the scanning functions and registering prints without having a screen lock active.
Does anyone know how to get around this (no root)?
I would also like to know as well. I am using Microsoft Next as my lock screen and I apparently am unable to only use the lock screen with the fingerprint scanner. I keep getting forced to have a pin or pattern which sucks.

You can pair your phone with a Bluetooth device, such as Bluetooth wristband, and enable Smart Unlock then you may bypass the PIN.

Sure, but then I'll have to walk around with some bluetooth thing. I don't want that, I just want to be able to use the fingerprint selectively, without it locking the phone.

Had never heard of Next, now I already love it - thanks!
I think that's not possible. Fingerprint adds a security layer, but if for some reason it's not supported by an app or if for any reason you cut your finger and your fingerprint it's not readable anymore, you must have a backup unlock method.
Hi I have an s6 with Facebook that seems like the top of the screen is cut off even after I'm fully scrolled to the top. It only happens though after I sign in and out of the app. I've removed the app and install again everything works fine until I sign in/out then it's cut off again. Any suggest on how to fix?
EdgeBlock prevents accidental touches along screen edges when you are holding your phone. This is especially useful on the latest phones with curved screen edges and very thin bezels.
I had been having a terrible time watching movies on my OnePlus 7 Pro, my fingers kept accidentally touching the edge of the screen, which caused problems like the video skipping ahead or bring up the cast dialog. another big problem was with the Camera, I kept accidentally changing focus and even closing the app. So I looked on the Play Store and found a few apps that do this, but none of them were satisfactory, so I made my own app.
The big difference between EdgeBlock and the others is you can specify different settings for portrait, landscape and fullscreen mode. Another important improvement in EdgeBlock is that it properly supports gesture modes and notches. The blocked area will always be at the screen edge.
Another huge advantage with EdgeBlock is that it does not require Accessibility Services or any other intrusive permissions. The only permission required is Draw/Display over other apps. As with all my apps, it is ad-free and does not harvest your data.
I have been using this since last summer, but only recently had the time to polish it an release on the Play Store. During that time I've optimized the app for all use cases.
Per app mode - Not needed!
I know one of the first questions I will get is about per app mode. I did create a per-app mode originally, but found it is not needed! Once you enable EdgeBlock there is no need to change the settings for different apps, it just works. You also have a lot of control using the settings for portrait, landscape and fullscreen. Some users my disable EdgeBlock in portrait and landscape, but enable EdgeBlock in fullscreen mode.
The biggest problem with a per-app mode is that it requires either the App Usage permission or an Accessibility Service. The app usage permission works, but must constantly poll for the foreground app. This is an unnecessary waste of resources and battery life. The Accessibility method would work better, but requires an Accessibility service. I do not think an Accessibility service is warranted, since the app functions perfectly without it and I want to keep the app as light as possible.

Would it be possible to use this method to block access to the top edge on the lockscreen to prevent access to the quick settings?
Thanks

It's not allowed, the system actions always take precedence

not sure if you are aware, but there is an LSPosed module that does this, called 'NoQSInLockScreen'. works great for me
This is exactly what I'm looking for but it doesn't really work. If you are touching the blocked area while in app, you are unable to touch anything else within the same app. For example if you open Chrome and then place your finger on the edge blocker and with your other hand try to scroll up and down it won't let you scroll because you're touching something else on the screen. As soon as you stop touching the edge blocker you're able to scroll again.
Unless Im doing something wrong or not understanding how this app is intended to be used.
So if I'm playing a game and any part of either one of my hands is touching along the edge other movements within the game get confused because I'm touching the edge as well as trying to make a different move within the game itself.

After a little further testing three of the edges work exactly how I need them to work. But one edge does not. The edge at the top of the phone regardless of orientation does not allow you to touch it and touch something else within the same app. So this is The edge that would have the front facing camera. Basically the edge that would be the top of your phone.
