I have a rooted EVO 3D (gingerbread 2.3.4). Whenever I pinch to zoom (in my default browser or Dolphin browser), as zoom as I lift my fingers, the screen blinks and recenters to the left margin of where it was (the vertical position and zoom level remains the same though). This does not happen in the Opera mini browser but I don't want to restrict myself to Opera.
Is there some setting I can change to keep this from happening?
I believe you have to uncheck "auto-fit page" in settings
Hope that helps

Thanks...but....where is "auto fit page" in settings?
On my particular phone, auto fit is nowhere to be found. In the stock internet browser for the evo 3d, I went to Menu > More > Settings and there is no "Auto-fit" option, which is where everybody says it can be found.
Apparently HTC has removed that option from their version of the stock Android browser?

Does anyone have problems with scrolling windows in Dolphin HD?
eg when I'm in Hotmail, the window won't scroll down at all, just displays as many messages as fit on the screen, with no obvious way to scroll down. Have also tried using the gesture to scroll to end of page, but the browser doesn't seem to recognise there is more to the page.
No problems, but I'm using Mini version.

i have had it happen randomly. luckily, going to portrait gives me more page space, and zooming still works
Same problem in Google Reader.
I have problems time to time, with specific web pages.. but those pages have problems with Windows 7 & Firefox also
It's because of embedded java or flash crap inside web page.
Edit: Scroll works in those pages after you zoom it bigger, also links don't work before zoom..
There are some problems with scrollbars in Android. If you have a scrollbar into another scrollbar (for example an iframe) one of these scrollbars won't work. They said it's for make a better surfing experience

I belive that Dolphin is utilizing the base stock browser for rendering, and the scrolling problem also happens with that one. (I've seen it on Android 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 devices so far.)
A workaround that usually works is to zoom in the page a little, and it should then be scrollable...

Don't know if this has been mentioned before...
But if you're like me, and hate that the standard browser only allows you to open a max of 4 windows / tabs... you can actually change it to 6.
It's not heaps more, but it's certainly better than 4...
I have tried it on the Desire S, and it doesn't work, but this works on the Evo 3D.
Steps;
- Open the browser
- In the web address field type about:debug
- Hit the menu button and then settings.
- Then scroll down to "Set max tab number" and change that to 6.
There is also an option called "Smooth Rotate", and when you enable that, and you switch from portrait to landscape view whilst browsing, the screen will roll around, rather than just changing...
It's hard to explain, so you're better of just seeing for yourself.
Cheers
cool thanks, but I couldnt find the set max tabs? is it under another category?
I use dolphin browser, it's fantastic

Does the phone have to be rooted for this to work? When I type that in on the stock browser, and hit enter, I get nothing. I'm on the Sprint version, not the GSM version.

Hello,
I'm new on this forum, and I didn't have find answer to my question on the previous thread, so I open a new one.
Since the upgrade from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 (and now on ICS 4.0.3.) (all official ROM for Samsung), one of the functionality of the browser does not work anymore:
Previously with a double tap on the screen, the browser zoom to fix the width of the paragraph and allow scrolling only on the vertical axis, locking the horizontal movement.
Now, the zoom doesn’t fix to the width of the paragraph anymore and scrolling is in both directions… It’s not easy to read a web page with this zooming and scrolling feature.
So first of all, have I missed an option some were? If not, is there application or other browser providing this feature?
Qrun
This is a leaked ICS 4.0.3 can call it beta. Official will be coming next month.
Regarding stock browser. Open Browser - Settings (Menu) ->Advanced -> scroll down to Auto-fit pages . Tick that box.
Restart browser.
The pages should now only able to scroll up & down.
And dont request desktop site from browser to avoid the horizontal scroll issue
Thanks for your answer, it partially fixed the problem of the zoom, but did not solve the problem of scrolling.
I have found a partial solution with Dolphin HD : I use the fit to screen and adress the scrolling on the volume button, but it's not as convenient as the utilisation of the touchscreen.
On my xperia arc, when I double tap while reading something on the internet , it zooms in and I can read better without using side scrolls but in s3, double tap just zooms in closer. You would need the side scrolls to continue reading. How to fix this? I tried checking auto fit option in advance settings but it didn't help.
It's called "text reflow", change your title and you might get more hits.
For some reason Samsung haven't included this functionality in the browser. Perhaps some custom roms have a modded version, but my best bet is a different browser.
Chrome is nice, albeit no full screen. I'm using "quick ics browser".
Good luck mate
