Here's how you do that mini-scroll on page load to hide the address bar:

   setTimeout(function(){
       // Hide the address bar!
       window.scrollTo(0, 1);
   }, 0);

metai.checkNetwork = function( contentId ){

       var imageEl=document.

       createElement('img');
       var imageurl=hostURI+contextRoot+'/image/mobile/login/caution.png';
       imageEl.style.visibility='hidden';
       //imageEl.onload=metai.networkLoad;
       //var imagetook=0;
       var startDate=new Date();
       imageEl.onload=function(){
           var endDate=new Date();
           var latency=endDate.getTime()-startDate.getTime();
           //alert(latency);

           if( latency < 200 ){
               playFast( contentId );
           }else{
               playSlow( contentId );
           }
       }

       imageEl.src=imageurl+'?r='+Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
       document.body.appendChild(imageEl);

}
