Hey, I have had many android phones and I really like this phone but one thing is really annoying, when you select the address bar it doesn't auto select the text. I am pretty sure I can change the setting but can't find out how, suggestions?

Anyone know why the status bar on the stock browser likes to disappear and then appear every time you press on the screen to scroll? I think this causes lag. I am having a choppy experience as a result.
It disappears so that way you have more space for your browsing experience when you are on a web page. It will then reappear when you scroll up I believe, maybe down too. I cant remember if the stock browser has an option to change this or not.
It only disappears for a fraction of a second (yes, not even a whole second). I don't see the use there, but some engineer did I guess
It disappears for screen space as mentioned above. It does not come back until you scroll up.
Jelly bean browser has selectivity issue fixed
Android is all about customization, don't like the launcher, change it, keyboard, change it, browser, well you get the idea. If anything isn't the way that you want it just find the app that does it the way that you want. Good luck, OB
This bugs me too. I've been long pressing until the option to select all appears.
I've had the same issues. I think it came about after the OTA update for the radio resource error (which I barely ever got). I use the stock browser and I never had to select the whole url to type in a webpage but now I do. Also, my auto correct is wonky. It used to auto correct english words with english add apostrophe's and all, now it will skip the english word for a spanish one.
I have the sprint branded Evo if it means anything.
The Sprint brand or the recent OTA should have absolutely nothing to do with your browser issue. I have a sprint one running stock with the OTA installed with the stock browser and I don't have that issue. Have you gone to the app settings and cleared data on the browser app? I would think that should fix your issue. If you go to the 'All' tab under apps it will be listed as 'Internet'.
You may want to give Chrome Beta a shot. Not without its faults, but dare I say that it's better than the "stable" version.I tried chrome but it was glitch-fest. Maxthon looked cartoon-like to me.
I really like the sense browser, but hate that one aspect I've detailed.
Perhaps chrome will pay nicer on my phone after another update.
Edit:
I've tried a few other browsers and they sucked. ICS browser + by beansoft is promising. Anyway to get vanilla pain old ICS browser without any sense manipulation?
Until recently my preference was Firefox, for the last few months I've been using and enjoying the Boat browser.
Boat browser is quite light also, about 3 mb compared to Firefox being over 18 mb.
The built in search feature seems to default to the stock browser. I don't suppose this can be changed can it (without a rom change)?
I had written boat browser of until you posted this. It's pretty cool. My only complaint is while in full screen mode, I can't have the title bar shown. I would love it if the title bar was at the very top of the page when in fullscreen. I don't mean always on top, just at the very top and seen only when scrolled to the top.
If you go into settings you have the option to always show the title bar while in full screen, whether in portrait or landscape. OB
