In the stock browser, I hit menu then more and select text. It lets me select text, then what? How do I copy? I go to the same spot in the menu as "select text" after selecting and there are no new options. Long pressing on selected text also gives me nothing.
sent straight from my brain....
You highlight the text and then hit the highlighted stuff and it gives you option.

once it is selected long press on the highlighted text for the options menu
Or just switch to dolphin browser HD it has better copy/text functions and tabbed browsing.
I couldn't get down with the Dolphin Browser myself. I just use stock. Couldn't really find one I was happy with.
Agreed on the browser... I use stock, but I do have Skyfire installed for sites that the stock browser hoses up.

I don't like skyfire much myself but any browser is better than stock. I love the tabs and gestures in dolphin. It's pretty much Firefox but it actually pwns the android Firefox browser lol.
Android Firefox was absolutely horrible.

Is there a way to stop the notification bar from getting covered by the full screen browser?
This annoys me as well. Any fixes other than using an alternate browser?

Nothing I'm aware of, short of using an alternate browser. You can always just press "Menu" whenever you feel like checking the Notifications bar though. Its a simple enough workaround.
i just tried overriding the default browser with the default android browser and i failed. this annoys me also.
If youre familiar with about:debug, run that and see if there is an option to change that. I only used it to change the ua string

I used root explorer and replaced the HTC browser with the android stock one. Works okay for me, but breaks long-pressing. Can still select text via the menu.

Hopefully the devs will figure out how to get around this in their Sense roms

Hey all wondering if any browser has anything similar on htc devices the textflow like when you zoom in a webpage it resize it thus making it easier to read long texts thanks to all !

I am pretty sure stock browser does that. When I double click on a page, it zooms in and wraps the text.

My immortal is quite right, just double tap the screen on the stock browser to resize
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
And if you find double-tapping too troublesome, you can always try Opera.
Thanks i dont have the stock browser as im not in the stock rom ! :/

Use opera or ff. Not all websites support mobile view.

I used to see that with the original (2.3.4) stock ROM, but I haven't seen it yet since I switched to Unnamed. I'll give your fix a try if I see it again, it's very annoying!
It only ever happened to me on google search results.
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

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
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
