I have tried InstaFetch and TextOnly with the stock browser to enlarge and format text in stock browser window, but I would like the text to be even larger and still be formatted (wrapped) to fit on the screen. Is there an app that will do this or possibly a different browser?

Hi guys,
I do have the SGS2 since last week and I think it is a very good device. However, I am coming from a HTC Desire and I got used to some things, which I cannot find on the SGS2:
a) the browser: There is no text-reflow on pinch2zoom and the double-tap is sometimes not zooming enough and I hate to scroll text horizontally. Is there any alternative browser that can reflow text on p2z or even better any chance to get the HTC Browser somehow running
b) the dialer screen on HTC had a very nice and big contact picture and the contacts were shown very well in the phone-book app. With the SGS 2 the pictures (especially the ones synchronized with Facebook) are not shown properly - they look very blurred, are small and the aspect-ratio is wrong.
Any ideas how to improve this?
Regards and thanks!
i think blurring is due to the amoled resolution issue, the screen is big but dpi is not enough, or there might be software issue using 16bit color not 32bit color
16bit vs 24bit colour wouldn't cause blur. I rather suspect face book is the prob.
Maybe grab an image through web browser and assign manually to test

In the stock browser, go to Menu -> More -> Settings and check "Auto-fit pages". This will make double-tap zoom and reflow to much more readable levels. Having this setting checked is standard on most phones, for some unknown reason Samsung decided to change that.
If you want to try an alternative browser, Dolphin HD is excellent (and a much nicer visual design is in the works, coming with the next release): https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser&feature=search_result
wow, this was really helpful. Now just a different dialer or getting syncmypix working, then I would use GoContacts!
opera mobile supports text reflow.

I have chompsms and I completely forgot what client I set to view pics with but when I look at pics that someone sends me mms they look super small. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well they will generally always look small if you view the picture from the message since most phones resize images to minimize the amount of data that needs to be transferred for the MMS.
So the best way to view pictures from pic messages is to long-press the picture and select Save to SD Card or whatever it says
then
go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
and go to Gallery and Clear Defaults
if you have any other gallery applications, like QuickPic, do the same for that.
then when you click the picture it should ask which gallery you want to use to view it.
i recommend using QuickPic since the stock Gallery on 4.5.91 Android 2.3.4 is awful.
Posted in another forum with no luck. Default browser text is too small for my eyes although I realize it is not issue for most. Pinching and zooming is real pain. On almost all android browsers and all windows 7 browsers, you can change the default zoom but I can't find a way on touchpad and desperately need this for browser to be useable for me. There are some hacks I am aware of to change the default text size and it works for many mobile web pages but not most full desktop pages that set their own text size. Hence I need to change the default zoom not the default text. Surely this can't be that hard and would be extremely grateful if someone would help even if they don't perceive the issue of default zoom as a problem for them. Thanks in advance!

I don't have one [yet] to test, but I think I saw in a video you can double tap on text to zoom in a bit. This should be easier than pinch and zoom.
does work sometimes but very inconsistent. Still wish I could just change the default zoom but have posted in several forums and no respons
Hi all,
Basically, the font size in the Chrome browser is massive. It drives me crazy as everything else on my phone is small and tidy - my system font size is XS.
Changing "text scaling" in accessibility settings changes nothing. I even tried an app that changes the dpi of the entire system. Chrome fonts remained the same size.
For comparison, I've attached pictures of a web page viewed through Firefox and Chrome. Unfortunately, Firefox is far too slow and Chrome is far too personalised to prompt me to switch.
Does anyone else have this issue? A font size this large reduces the usability of the beautiful large screen.
Looks like I failed to attach the Firefox screenshot.
Very frustrating that you cannot increase the font size in the stock messaging app and have it stick. The problem I've always run into, is using 3rd party apps, Textra, Android messaging,.....is that I seem to miss some text messages, especially in a group text. Is there a way to fix this (both part 1 and 2 i guess)?
Yes . On the att version , I know ( I'm not sure if was an update that did it ) you can pinch 2 finger zoom in/out gesture to increase or decrease size of text fonts in conversation view. Try it and see if it works for you
