Ever since switching to ICS, I have had a small issue with Google Maps. It works fine, except I cannot figure out how to zoom out. It zooms in by double tap, but no +/- shows up to zoom out. Anyone else see this? Or am I having one of those moments?

Pinch to zoom out.
You're so smart. Me, not so much today. Never even crossed my mind. When did this change?

I always remember it as pinch to zoom out. I didn't even know it had other ways lol
No idea, but I have always used the pinch method so its just second nature for me.
Please, make fun of me all you want. I'll never close this thread, just as a reminder to myself. I'm not even blonde! (No offense to those of you who are)

You can also pinch to zoom in.

You can also go into the options menu & I think it's under labs & enable the + - icons, as well as other stuff

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.
Unfortunately I can't make it work even despite cCeT's arrogant reply.

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)?
Pretty certain mine is the ability to swipe the notification bar left to right to adjust the brightness (assuming the auto-brightness is off).
So, whats your fav lost feature?
I know I have posted a lot of these in the tips/tricks, but its been a year.. some are old and forgotten. Could be new to people. Maybe there are new Tricks since I made that guide.
Holding the menu button on the xda app to get the search feature lol
Edit : not working 0.o

The thing with numbers I think its called dial pad but you put in a sequence of numbers and you can actually talk to your friends. That's pretty cool.

Hold upper-right corner (around clock, battery, signal icons) - the screen brightness goes to 100%
Swiping the letters to get specific artist names in songs to the music player. Swipe it while swiping it and you'll get and even more in depth search..

Long press of back button to quickly back out of several pages. Handy on XDA app as well as browser.

Wow, I use long press a lot, but I never knew you could do that in the browser!
Can someone show me how to use the camera zoom function in Unnamed rom v1.3.1, especially now that the interface has changed? Hopefully it's still there.

Haha , that's what I figured. Was hoping for something more intuitive but everything is awesome with the rom, I can't complain.

Great mod, the only thing I would like is allowing shutter button to work with portrait mode.
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 >.<
Try other browsers.

Works pretty good. I made this my default note taking app with the quick launch. Watched the video then tried the app... I guess having the ability for creating more/different notebooks is only an iOS feature for now

Nice find, but how the heck do you exit it? Hitting home key seems to be the only way, no settings menu besides the type of pen button?

seems like a pretty limited note application compared to GNote, S-Memo, Papyrus...and smells of lazy iOS port as well...I'll stick with one of the others for now, but thanks for pointing it out
Hopefully it's going to have more options. Like somene said before others have way more options, s memo being pretty much the best but for us that are running custom roms it doesnt work.
