I can't seem to make this work, unless I rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and back again.
Can anyone tell me how to make it work after pinch zooming?
Thanks,
James

What about it?
double tap to the screen.
That zooms out, and reflows, but doesn't reflow to the size you make the text with pinch zoom.

Haven't had mine come through yet so I've not been able to test this but in the Techradar review they say:
"One gripe we do have is the text reflow, as it doesn't do it automatically – you have to double tap the screen slowly to activate it when pinching to zoom in."
Hope that helps

Thanks both for your comments.

This was the arrogant comment. Of course I've tried first, why else would I be starting a thread on the issue?

thats you misunderstanding.
did you checked autofit pages box under the the browser settings before trying to do that?
What did you mean then?
I've tried the auto fit pages button, but it didn't seem to have any effect

Confirmed, this does NOT work. Some oversight.
Like others have said, this does not reflow, it just zooms out to fit the text onto the screen...
this is a huge deal.
what about if you just load a regular page, zoomed out completely. then double tap somewhere, it should zoom in. does it reflow after a double tap in that fashion?
99% of my usage is just double tap on a place, and browser reflows teh text. i dont care about pinch to zoom reflow necessarily. any luck with double tap method?
Double tao appears to reflow correctly, but unfortunately that's not much good for many scenarios where I would like larger text

Yep, as above. The Nexus S had this issue too but got round it with the + and - in the lower right corner. Text would be off the edge after pinch to zoom but tapping either the + or the - reflow it while maintaining the text size previously set. No such luck here though.
Guys my SGS1 had been lost for almost a month, but as far as I remember the stock browser would not reflow on "pinch to zoom", would only reflow on "double-tap to zoom", and only on certain pages that had clear resizeable DIV/TABLEs (html language)?

So on mosr mobile browsers ive used, be it android or ios, double tap to zoom on an article usually zooms in re sizes snd re alignes the document in a way thats more readable so one does have to keep panning while reading.
Is it only my phone that doesnt do that?

Is there any way to enable text reflow on the browser, it's annoying to keep on navigating side to side.
If there isn't is there a mod in the works?

On the Android stock ICS browser, you get text reflow by pinching to zoom and then double tapping on the zoomed text. I don't have S3, but would expect that works with the S3 browser since it works with the stock android ICS browser on the S2.
Also, there is a browser in the market based on the stock browser, I think it is called ICS+ or something, that does text reflow automatically without double tapping. Also Opera Mobile does text reflow.
Yes, just use Opera, its fast and the text reflow works great! I have no idea why Chrome and Firefox doesn't do reflow, I would think its one of the more obvious feature to have considering that scrolling from side to side is mega irritating

This is an issue on all Samsung (non nexus) devices I have ever had. It doesn't matter if it's a phone or tablet. I was hoping different for the sg3 I guess not. I have had the Moment, tab 7, 7plus, 8.9, 10.1, and Epic 4g touch

yeah I'd recommend ICS Browser+, looks like stock ICS browser and text reflow included

Somewhat on topic, if you get a MMS picture on the stock Samsung Text Message app you cannot pinch to zoom in on the picture, you have to save it first. Is there any setting to zoom in on a pic message??

I don't understand why you can't download it first? On my HOX you click it in the message bubble and it opens a new screen with the picture at about 70% size and you can zoom in.

Me too. It's highly annoying since I want to use this browser as the quick controls are great.
Guys.... I've used all Galaxy phones and this feature IS NOT available on any. You get text reflow at the default zoom level only. The hardware supports it because it's available on CM9, but not on Samsung based ROMS.
Those who say it works don't understand the question, it only works on one of the Opera browsers on the S3.

He's saying that to actually enlarge a picture from MMS you have to SAVE it to your gallery first. Samsung really doesn't know how to make an SMS program. They had it fixed with ICS on the GS2 and then they ruined it again with the GS3.
Just use GoSMS Pro, it's a lot better anyway.
well, I'm on jb official relase and text reflow works for me on stock browser, in advanced settings tick auto-fit and in accesibility settings set force enable zoom and minimum font to 12 pt
On my inspire when on any web page when I zoomed on the page to be able to read it would readjust to fit the screen. Making it so I didnt have to scroll left to right. Do u guys follow me?? Is there a setting in the gs3 to make it do this or am I stuck with pages that I have to constantly navigate?? Thanks for any help.

No, haven't tried chrome. I like the stock browser....but I'll give chrome a try and see how smooth it is compared to stock.

Yes, give it a try its uber smooth.
I'm not sure if this is what you meant by readjust, but a cool feature that HTC had was as you zoomed in, the page was fitted again in the zoomed in screen and you didn't have to scroll left right up down to read the page. I have just installed chrome and once you zoom in, it doesn't readjust!

On the browser, menu > settings > advanced > auto-fit pages. Is that what you're referring to?
Let me try it. Possibly
Edit. That feature is ticked. When you load the page, the page is fit to screen, but when you zoom in, htc browser realigns the text so that it fits the screen again. On the s3 you have to go left to right in order to read a text

I get what you mean. On my Galaxy S1, the text would reflow when I double tapped the screen after zooming, and this was a really useful function. But it doesn't seem to be present on the S3. As far as I know, this is controlled by the rom and not the app itself, so we might not get it on the stock rom.
Hi,
On my old Xperia Arc, whenever I double tap, it zooms in closer and I can read everything perfectly without touching the scroll bars. I find that on the s3, when I double tap, it just zooms in closer but then i will need to use the scroll bars from side to side to see everything. I have tried going into advanced settings and ticked the option to make everything fit but it doesn't do the job. Any suggestions?
I am having this same annoying issue. Is there a fix for it or something as it seriously is starting to piss me off >.<

Might be a stupid question...I come from a long line of moto droids. On all of them, if I double tap in the browser, not only would it zoom, but it would also realign the now larger text to fit the screen. Is there a way to do that on the Samsungs? I hate coming in a news article then have to swipe side to side to read all the words

Are you running stock browser on 4.3 or a custom rom? There's dozens of browsers to try though, I'm sure one will meet your needs.
In running beans 22 rom. Stock browser. Over the years I've fiddled with nearly every browser it there and I've always found the stock the most comfortable. Maybe that's because the zoom always worked the way I wanted it to.

It's under settings>advanced in the stock browser. Check the box for auto fit pages
I last used the stock browser when I first bought the phone. Been using Dolphin browser ever since. When I double tap, it zooms in enough to fit the block of text that you double tapped on. It is useful in that it depends on where you tap it
