Tablet trouble ...

[ColinJ]

Hi Shaun.

Have you changed anything which might be affecting my ability to edit old posts or preview new ones on my Galaxy Tab?

I don't use Tapatalk.

Preview has suddenly stopped working and I can no longer edit posts for typos etc. I can still make the initial posts though, this being an example.

I also had a problem editing a typo on my laptop on Sun 14 Oct 2012.

However not with post above.

I should add that all is still working fine on my laptop and I think my tablet browser may to blame, having been updated recently!

The post editor is pretty much a java-driven so it might be worth trying a restart of your tablet or checking Java settings or searching to see if others have had similar problems since applying the latest update.

Java, or JavaScript? I don't think I've heard of any mobile browsers that can do Java, which would explain it.

But my editing is fine using the stock browser on the Transformer Infinity.

I've just recharged the tablet, so I'll power it down and reboot it. (It lasts weeks on standby, so I never normally switch it off!)

And it rebooted in less than 30 seconds, which is pretty good!

I tried the default browser and it works fine so it looks like Opera is to blame. The update broke embedded Flash as well - gnash!

Colin, I think we both use a Galaxy Tab 8.9? I've always had problems with CC on my Tab. There is a long delay when typing, the reply button doesn't work (sometime works if you press twice), smilies only work sometimes, can't paste links etc. Functionality is greatly reduced when trying to use CC on the Tab. I don't get these problems on my laptop or the home computer, nor do I get them with other forums which work fine on my tab.

I was hoping this might change when the OS upgrades to ICS, but seems like the rest of the world will be on strawberry sundae or whatever they'll call it before the Galaxy Tab 8.9 gets ICS

 

[Shaun]

Are there any alternative browsers you could install that would improve things for you, or is it an OS restriction?

 

[Doseone]

Thanks, I think it's probably related to the stock browser. I've been waiting for Chrome, but that is OS restricted (have to have ICS), but there are other browsers I could try. Will give that a go.

FWIW the reply button needs to be tapped twice on my Galaxy Note 10.1 too.

Stock browser in use, no tapatalk either? Not a huge issue for me, but if someone finds a solution let me know and I'll swap browsers.

 

[ColinJ]

I have been using Opera Mobile and it was pretty good but the upgrade has been more of a downgrade in many respects.

It was a bit flakey on some videos before, but this latest upgrade has killed embedded Flash altogether such as YouTube videos people post on CC - all I see now are black rectangles.

Hmmm, have downloaded Boat browser to see if it solves the issues.....it doesn't.

I use Tapatalk on both my phone and tablet with no problems.
