the only good thing about the stock browser is that it works with all the gimmicky features that come with the phone.
try a different, better browser.

Best browser for flash player?

I was able to view flash content with the stock browser on my note 2 but I am not able to on my s4. Does anyone know how to fix this or what browser would you recommend that supports flash player? Thanks in advance.

I am also having the same problem even though I have the same flash installed that worked on my S3..
Firefox beta or boat browser.

bump. .. to see if anyone has gotten flash to work with the stock browser. Even though it is a bit gimmicky, I would like to take advantage of the quick scroll feature.

Is the stock browser still the android "browser" or is it Chrome now?
If it is chrome that explains why it doesnt work. I am pretty sure that flash doesnt work with chrome.

Yeah, that's why I was asking. Don't have the phone yet myself. Tomorrow!
It is stock Android. That is the only one compatible with the smart scroll at the moment.

Would it be possible to port the Galaxy S3's browser to work with the Galaxy S4? As I understand it, the Galaxy S3 browser supports flash

anyone try using s3's browser for flash support?

just wondering if anyone has tried using the s3's browser for its flash support?
feature wise I don't think the s4 browser brings anything new to the table, does it? I figured I'd ask before trying out it myself.

It lets you use the wave and eye features for scrolling

both of those are fun to play with, but after the first few days of fun I doubt I'll use them since they really just slow you down lol.. there's no encoding or rendering differences? so they should both load pages, java, html5, etc the exact same?

Why is this happening?

Recently I've been getting this notification when I try to update an app.
How do I get rid of it?

You may have a rogue app.
You may need to check all your apps
To track it down.

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

[i9500] Not keeping home screen defaults

Seems Odd
-Go to Applications manager
-In the TW launcher clear all data and clear all defaults.
-Restart and reorganize the layout ( If u have multiple launchers you will be prompted to choose a default one )
-Turn off and back on and see.
Hope it helped.

I seem to have hit this problem this week too, a workaround while I figure out why it happens is to disable/freeze other launchers so there's only one left.

Do you have any startup manager app?

It's a separate application, hold the application in the select default app dialog and click disable.

Hmm, that's weird, I used Titanium Backup to freeze it.
I wonder if the app clean master deleted any file needed to keep the default launcher after restarting the phone

backup your apps and do the factory reset......................:after that you'l be :good:
None of that worked.... today i got MJ5 update with 4.3 and it fixed it.

The best youtube version for tablet

Recently, i have flashed back to ics and i find that the old youtube app is the best looking youtube, what yiu guys think?
On the other hand, the old version google map is smoother than the new version also.

yes it's better if you can download apk manger from play store it will make an apk back up for the app
I am now back to infamous tab 3 ICS ROM. And it feels so Good. Still using this version of YouTube.

Why don't you search it yourself instead of demanding? It takes only a few mins to do so.

Thanks anguslaw. I may try flashing that custom one the batt icon seems cool lol
Also, this version of google map also is way smoother than the new google map.
YouTube version is 3.5.5; map version is 6.9.0.
