Is there a way to open links in a new tab similar to hitting CTR on the keyboard on your computer?I just find that 80% of the time I want a new tab and it's a pain to long press!Maybe an app that makes a hotspot, a browser or a setting in the default viewer....
View 2 RepliesThis was mentioned in other posts but I can't find it anymore but since the upgrade to 3.1 I am getting random long press pop ups. I initially thought it was better after changing the long press from short to long but it really doesn't seem to have any direct affect on the random ones that are occuring.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi and if I receive an email with a link or a pdf attachment, if I click on the link the screen dims and nothing happens. Same thing if I click view to look at a pdf attachment.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy recently bought Xoom is randomly performing interruptions of the long press. While interruptions are going on, it doesn't prevent me from pressing, but it stops any long press just as if I had moved out the finger, with wicked effects:
- Any slow scroll gets interrupted;
- Selection with long press gets cut into a regular tap;
- Use of secondary characters on keyboard (via long press) becomes impossible;
- Swype turns into a regular keyboard, since the drag line gets constantly cut.
It's like the press had a variable timeout that comes really low, to a second or milliseconds. That happens frequently (but not always) right after boot/unlock. After that random period (from seconds to about a minute), everything works fine. It's not a lag or delay, it is an interruption, like a timeout.
Unable to open any web links from an app or gmail ....started to happen a few minutes ago..these links are embedded in a email or from an app like pulse etc. I have stock broswer and dolphin HD ...and I select which one to displayed when the browser selection pop up window comes up.
Now the selection popup window does not come at all...and the screen goes about 50% dark and when touched anywhere on the screen ...it comes to normal brightness...
I have problem with my "Nokia Browser" in my "Asha 200".The browser is unable to open too long links.(links containing more than 40-50 characters in it).I am unable to download movies...
View 2 Replies View RelatedGiven that the Droid Pro has a physical keyboard, I'd like to be able to type out long emails. However, it seems that Droid thinks I hold the buttons to long and launches the search browser anytime I hold a key down for longer than a nano second (which I guess happens a lot when I type). How do I disable all Long press application launches - especially Google Search? I did disable all other applicatins thru the Settings menu but can't seem to get rid of Goolgle search launching ever minute as I type on the keyboard.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently, I have been unable to open files or access links on my Xoom. For example, when I go into my downloads and touch the screen to open (say) a PDF file, the screen goes dull and then returns to normal brightness and my file doesn't open. If I go into Documents to Go and open the PDF file it seems to work OK however?Same thing is happening with video files, for example I touch a video file to open it in VPlayer and, again, the screen goes dull and I can't access the video. Same with music whcih I can only access through the music player, not through other routes such as Astro file manager etc. Also when I try to open some links to websites embedded in emails etc the screen goes dull and then bright again and the links don't work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've updated to lollipop & new built update & everything works nice.. Love the new update so far.. Battery drains much faster though. Is there any possibility to change google now shortcut of home button long press? Can we set something else to that shortcut?
View 4 Replies View RelatedLollipop 5.0.1 driven G3 are normal, or if there are fixes I am missing. I did switch over my SD card from my previous phone (Galaxy S4) and some things (music, photos, contacts) seem ok, while others aren't...
1) Cannot seem to update/install Apps - It just sits there acting like it is updating, the status bar scrolls, but nothing gets updated (or installed). As an example, I tried updating Facebook through the Google Play Store - My Apps option, sat for 10 minutes, and it never updated (but it still says I need an update). This is true for a large number of Apps that I have. I tried to install Helium so I could back up before a factory reset, and the same thing happened. It never installed.
2) Network vs. Wifi - At home, I use my Wifi connection, and I noticed that both the Wifi signal indicator and the Network Signal indicator display. I know this did not occur on the S4 (with Android. 4.4.4). Is this normal behavior for Lollipop to display both Wifi and Network connectivity?
3) Can't find a microphone for Speech-to-Text messaging on either the LG or Google keyboards. I saw one article that shows it is in the predictive text field area, but it isn't appearing on mine. - Actually - I just resolved this - it is hidden under the settings icon on the LG keyboard. I had to long press the icon for it to display.
4) No Silent Mode from the Long Press of the Power Button.
Is there anyway to change the function of the long press homescreen?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy wife would like to be able to skip to the previous/next track using the volume + and - buttons of her S6 headset (the original headset that came in the box). The phone is running the latest stock firmware, unrooted, still locked. Is it possible to make it happen through an app, whether it's an app that is dedicated to that function or a music player app that has the option built-in ? I have the feeling this has to be activated in the rom itself.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the Galaxy S5, whenever you long-press the Home button, it brings up what appears to be a Google search page or something. Apparently I’m really bad at pressing buttons quickly (either that or the button is malfunctioning) because I keep accidentally bringing up this damn Google search page instead of the home screen.
Is there any possible way to disable the long-press or even just change what it does??? I’ve searched through the phone’s settings and all over the internet and haven’t found anything useful yet.
I have a N900 and have experienced unstable 3G data connection. Web pages at times won't open, take a long time to open, or simply timeout. Internet Radio re-buffering all the time.I take out the SIM card and put it into my N97. Internet connection seems fine in my N97 at the same location. I turn on the Joikuspot on my N97 (convert 3G signal into Wi-fi hotspot) and connect my N900 to Internet via wi-fi and the Internet connection on my N900 runs absolutely smooth. I can open different websites with Internet radio running in the background.
May I know if anyone can help me with this? I am running out of ideas. And I cannot carry both N900 and N97 at the same time like this to make Internet connection works for N900.
such app or utility that replicates the long press of menu button over n8 handset.That is to launch the running apps window or what some ppl call it multitasking window.I have been finding the long press idea a very incovenient ,so looking for an answer from the community as my knowledge is not even a drop in the ocean of information.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my C7 to Belle now. Bad news: When I receive a mail or SMS that contains a link to a web page, I cannot open it. What happens is:I first get a notification sying 'Loading'. Then, one or two seconds later, it says 'Loading failed.
I am not 100% sure if this started with Belle. I installed quite a few application after I upgraded to Belle, so maybe it's one of those that causes the problem.
What I did, of course, was to check Application Settings > Default Applications > Browsing internet That's set to 'Internet', which I believe is what it should be. (I also tried to reset everything there, still nothing.)
I really, really, really wouldn't want to wipe the whole phone, re-install belle, re-install all of the applications.Is there a way to check what really gows wrong and fix it?
I've had my Blackberry Curve 9360 less than a month. This weekend the browser stopped working and I'm unable to open links on e-mails that have been sent to me etc. when I click on a link it just doesn't do anything. Similarly, the "homepage" on my browser seems to be missing. I just have a blank white page with a seach box in blue at the top. However, when I type a seach in and return it doesn't do anything. The blue "loading" line running across the bottom of the search box seems to be permanently there, at it's fullest. It's almost as if it's frozen. I've successfully been able to connect my phone to my wi-fi service, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. I've done the "turn the phone off and back on again" trick.
