Aren't they supposed to do that? I went to settings and the "resize" box is checked, but it's not working... Is there something I can do about this because it's extremely annoying... Thanks!
Need more info.
How are you zooming in? Clicking "+", double-tapping, or 'pinch-to-zoom'?

I was pinch zooming and did not know you could double tap...I tried it after reading your post and it resized after a pinch zoom with a double tap. Thanks a lot!

On my old Dell Streak, and my Asus Transformer, I can zoom in on text until it was a comfortable size and double click it. This word wraps the text to the size of the screen.
I can't seem to do this on my beautiful new SGS2 The menu option "Auto fit pages" doesn't appear to work this way (although it is better than nothing)
Is there a way?
If u do search you'll definitely find answer in forum. I use Dolphin HD browser which does it with no probs.

I did search and although people asked the question, nobody appeared to have a valid answer.
opera mobile does it too.

I use Dolphin and it doesn't do it. Neither on any other application. So what's the solution?
On my old HTC it worked on anything I did it on.
I don't think that there's a solution for this (at least in the stock browser that I use), though I'm fine with the 'Auto-fit pages' option on.
What you're asking for is exactly what "Auto-fit pages" is for, and it works perfectly for me. I can only guess that something is different between our devices (branding changes, different FW versions etc..)
Despite being overkill for such a small issue, is trying a different ROM out of the question?
Solved it by enabling Pinch-zoom button. That is the -/+ that shows up in the bottom right of the browser when you touch the screen.
Strangely you have to use this and zooming with your fingers won't work as stated by this thread.

Pinch-to-zoom doesn't do it, but double tapping to zoom in/out does.
Double tapping won't get the zoom you require it will zoom to fit the screen.
Try enabling Pinch in Dolphin browser. It works and is already enabled in stock browser.

Not true. It zooms to suit the "Default zoom" setting.
The first attachment is normal viewing, and the second is after I double-clicked the top left of the article. As you can see, the text is reformatted to fit the screen (not the other way round), and it is more than large enough to read. This is with default zoom set to medium.
I know this is an old thread, but I found it by searching for a solution for this problem as I now have a Note with the same issue, on ICS.
I think it's Samsung’s fault. It worked perfectly on my Galaxy nexus.
however, the good news is that there is a solution.
Download ICS browser+ from Google Play. Its great.

You have to double click twice... First double click = zoom, second double click is text refllow.
After the second double click you can pinch and zoom to any desired level and the text will reflow accordingly :good:

Tried it but it won;t work. I did the automatically text reflow too option too and when I zoom in just past the screen it automatically zooms out.
Even if I do a double tap it automatically zooms out.
Maybe it's my firmware. I'm on stock "I9100XWLPD". Could you or anyone else that got this working let me know which "exact" stock firmware you have so I can give that a try?...
^ Tried 3 other Stock ROMS this morning and no dice with this working on ICS Browser+.
Which exact Stock ROM versions are you guys getting this to work on?...
Weird. I think this is on most android tablets not just prime.
EDIT: Thanks for point it out guys! So this is a feature. If you tap on the sides it will scroll towards that direction. So its like a quick tap and scroll without really scrolling. Like what ready2mosh said, paddle shifters lol. Sweet I like this feature.

thats because your tapping the edge of the screen . its not picking up the slide motion
Hi, Whats the Agenda and Calendar widget you are using?
Thanks
There is nothing wrong with this, if you look at the left and right side when you tap or swipe over the screen, there are 2 light blue lines. If you tap in those areas the screen is told to move to that side, and since you are barely swiping across the screen, it cannot register that you are swiping, but only tapping.
Swiping motion is for the middle of the screen, edges are for flip control. Think of it as paddle shifter on F1 cars, much easier to shift (change page) with paddle than a stick(swiping).

Not true. I can replicate this in the app drawer too.
EDIT: NM you guys are right. If I tap on the corner it goes back and forth. Even i the app drawer. Thanks. I love this new quick paddle shifters hidden trick.

Galaxy S3 - browser double tap = text not justified?
Galaxy S1 if i double tapped the webpage
it would zoom
and also arrange the text (kind of bunched it up) so i could read it all?
S3 is zooming but the text it wider than the zoom?
I don't know if its call justified text but i know what i'm on about
is it some sort of setting?
I believe you just need to go into Browser -> Settings -> Advanced and turn on Auto Fit pages. You want to be able to tap to zoom but keep text in field, is that correct?

Use boat browser or Opera

I, myself, use Boat Browser on my non-S3. Most pages fit correctly when they zoom. This site (well the forums anyway) do not. I have to turn the phone landscape and then it fits correctly. that is using the Android UA. Using the Firfox or iPhone UA, it fits.

+1 - this was irritating the crap out of me!
Ok so I'm in love with this XZU. I've been playing with it since I got it Wednesday. But I keep having this annoying problem. Anytime I double tap the screen, even if I'm typing a text message or watching a video. The screen zooms in and a thin blue border goes around the screen while zoomed in. and it doesn't want to zoom out until I press home.
It's really annoying because it happens when I press the delete key too fast when I'm trying to erase text.
Anyway to disable this?
Have you activated "Magnification gestures" in Settings->Accessibility?

Lol I guess I did somehow . Thanks a lot it was driving me crazy.
It seems like the most annoying things are usually a simple fix but I somehow manage to overlook them EVERY TIME!

My zony xperia it's so annoying zoom when I double tapping.help please
On my s4 running stock rooted mdk, I use the native gallery app to view photos and am always annoyed by the preview strip of thumbnails obscuring the bottom of the frame when viewing a single picture full screen. I'm not sure how this got activated, but I can find no way to turn it off, and searches haven't helped. Anyone have a solution?

Doesn't work. I can tap a thumbnail and navigate to that picture, or double tap the current one to zoom in. But single tap, or tap-and-hold, does nothing, not on my S4, anyway. I tried just about everything that seemed intuitive before posting this question.

Not sure if it'd work but maybe try clearing data on Gallery?

Must be a problem with your setup. The strip will go away on its own after a few seconds or if you tap the screen. Pretty sure there is no setting for this.
Data wipe and reboot availed nothing, but good suggestion, and thanks for confirming that this is abnormal behavior. I haven't really messed with the system apart from rooting MDK and freezing the OTA processes so I don't lose my unlocked bootloader...so I'm not sure what I did that would've messed up the gallery. But if I finally get round to installing a 4.4.x ROM, perhaps the problem will go away.
