Some android browsers give you a scroll button which you can drag. On galaxy default broswer you can double-tap to go to top. imo, scrolling back to top may not be that essential (why you want to go back to top after you have finished reading??)
Haha Samsung's double tap to top is a joke. If you actually think
this is comparable to a single tap on a touch screen, you should probably lay off whatever it is you're smoking
😉
And tapping once to go to the top after reading makes more sense than having a one tap to the bottom
without reading. Often times after I finish reading an article, I go back to the top to read a new article. Maybe you don't know this, but websites typically have their menus at the top of a page, not the bottom
😱
Wrong. The amount scrolled is constant per flip (no matter how fast you do it). So for a long page, you have to flip n-times whether you are doing slow or fast flips. On android, the amount scrolled is proportion to how fast/long you flip.
See the folliowing.

No, you're wrong. (Surprise?
😉)
The second video even shows it. But I thought I would make it a little more clear for those who are blinded by their bias of hatred.

You can be pro-ios but if what you put out is not true or inaccurate, people can rebut you.
And that is exactly what I am doing to you. Maybe you should look a little harder next time?
😉
Also, what makes you think I am pro-iOS?
Maybe this will show you I am fairly unbiased. Although at the time of writing that post, I was indeed an iPhone fanboy. But coming from an iPhone fanboy perspective makes it even harder to switch to Android, yet that is exactly what I did. I don't know any iPhone fanboys who prefer using Android. Or any iPhone fanboy who sold their iPhone after buying an Android. To me, that sounds like the exact opposite. Or maybe you just automatically believe someone to be an iOS fanboy if they don't agree with your opinions. That sounds like great logic, keep it up
🙂
Also, your giant assumption proved
one of my earlier posts.
Actually mate - my account is still here - don't know why you're accusing other people of being 'my other account'.
MacRumors has rules against name calling, so I will avoid that part of this response. But maybe you should go back to that post and look at who I quoted and who I was responding to. Then maybe you can understand what was going on. Or continue taking things out of context. Whatever floats your boat.
It's not your view on scrolling that is irritating, its your attitude towards this whole argument. I made a point - you said I was wrong. I politely corrected you - you ignored my rebuttal and told me to chill, and are now acting like I was the only that got overly sensitive.
You went on a rant after we were talking about something as simple as
scrolling. And correcting me is not at all what you did. What you did was saw spew false information that you regard as truth. See my video above to know what it is like to be corrected. But you, sir, did not correct anyone.
I welcome discussion here, as I am the person that started this thread. I have no problem with you being pro-iOS, being a primarily Apple-centric site you expect that around here - but what frustrates me is your blind dedication to something that is fundamentally incorrect to what you claim.
No, you welcome discussion with those who think the exact same as you. If someone has differing views on the simplest of topics, you jump all over them and go on a rant.
Much like the kind person I quoted earlier in this post (mib1800), your giant assumption proved
one of my earlier posts. Yes, this is an Apple centric site. But this corner of the MacRumors forums clearly is not.
So I am sorry that liking the way scrolling works in iOS constitutes me as an iOS fanboy, or even liking one thing about it automatically makes me pro-iOS. If I was so pro-iOS as you say,
why do I prefer the Nexus 4? Your argument just doesn't add up and quickly crumbles against the evidence. Also, read above.
No matter how much you want it to be true, Safari has a set scrolling speed/distance, regardless of flick speed/pressure. And as for your 'iOS can get to the top of a webpage in one tap' - so can Android, I've been doing it for a while. You just gotta know where to look 😉
1. You're wrong. I proved it.
2. Android doesn't have a default tap once to go to the top of a webpage.

No it doesn't. iOS scrolling is directly correlated to velocity. Any one saying different is just a troll. The only differences between Android and iOS scrolling is that you can choose scrolling method on Android AND it still will lag, stutter and show incomplete tiles. Yes, I still get tiling, lag and stutter on a device with 2GB of RAM and running nothing else in the background. Pathetic. My iPhone 4 with 256MB (or was it 512, I forget) doesn't do this at all.
Siri and Now are different. You're basically skewing towards Google Now based on YOUR perspective whereas I'm saying it's different for everyone. While I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible, you're doing the exact opposite. So stop, we get that Now works better for you. That isn't universal.
Right... I'm taking my 5th break today after trying (keyword: trying) to test an app on the Samsung S3 and S4, both of which decided to just shut down. Developing apps for Android is just a pain. In every place it hurts. iOS is must much better. I've never had an iPhone that randomly shut down. On Android? I can remember at least 5-6 times on pretty much any mainstream device although it has been happening less frequently in the last year or so.
I shot a video of iOS scrolling earlier to prove our points.
