That phone was effected by the URL entry bug and I&#8217;m happy to report that the update completely fixes the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The new feature that lets you move backward and forward through recent pages by\u00a0swiping\u00a0left and right is pure genius. \u00a0It&#8217;s especially welcome on the Wave where the touch back and forward buttons are tiny and hard to use.<\/p>\n<p>Swiping to go back and forward only works with mobile pages that fit screen width when the Browser&#8217;s &#8220;Zoom&#8221; (desktop layout) mode is enabled. \u00a0With Zoom mode disabled swiping works with all pages. \u00a0You probably want to turn Zoom mode off anyway as it&#8217;s a rendering disaster most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Download the updated version from <a href=\"http:\/\/wap.st1.ucweb.com\/index.php?action=SelectPlatform&amp;bid=354&amp;lang=english&amp;platform=java&amp;product=ucbrowser&amp;from=wap-slp-dir-pas\">ucweb.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have a touchscreen phone and an unwanted virtual keypad appears at the bottom of the screen, I&#8217;ve created a signed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/16898\/\">patched version<\/a> that removes the keypad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/17486\/attachment\/20120323214427\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17507\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17507 imgBorder\" title=\"UC Browser 8.2 Dabr Twitter Client\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/20120323214427-170x283.jpg\" alt=\"UC Browser 8.2 Dabr Twitter Client\" width=\"170\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/17486\/attachment\/20120323220125\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17509\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17509  imgBorder\" title=\"UC Browser 8.2 ESPN Video Player\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/20120323220125-170x283.jpg\" alt=\"UC Browser 8.2 ESPN Video Player\" width=\"170\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/17486\/attachment\/20120323220447\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17508\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17508 imgBorder\" title=\"UC Browser 8.2 Video Download Options\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/20120323220447-170x283.jpg\" alt=\"UC Browser 8.2 Video Download Options\" width=\"170\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UC Mobile has\u00a0released\u00a0an update to the UC Browser 8.2 Beta for Java phones.
