Galaxy S3 - browser double tap = text not justified?
Galaxy S1 if i double tapped the webpage
it would zoom
and also arrange the text (kind of bunched it up) so i could read it all?
S3 is zooming but the text it wider than the zoom?
I don't know if its call justified text but i know what i'm on about
is it some sort of setting?
I believe you just need to go into Browser -> Settings -> Advanced and turn on Auto Fit pages. You want to be able to tap to zoom but keep text in field, is that correct?

Use boat browser or Opera

I, myself, use Boat Browser on my non-S3. Most pages fit correctly when they zoom. This site (well the forums anyway) do not. I have to turn the phone landscape and then it fits correctly. that is using the Android UA. Using the Firfox or iPhone UA, it fits.

On my old Dell Streak, and my Asus Transformer, I can zoom in on text until it was a comfortable size and double click it. This word wraps the text to the size of the screen.
I can't seem to do this on my beautiful new SGS2 The menu option "Auto fit pages" doesn't appear to work this way (although it is better than nothing)
Is there a way?
If u do search you'll definitely find answer in forum. I use Dolphin HD browser which does it with no probs.

I did search and although people asked the question, nobody appeared to have a valid answer.
opera mobile does it too.

I use Dolphin and it doesn't do it. Neither on any other application. So what's the solution?
On my old HTC it worked on anything I did it on.
I don't think that there's a solution for this (at least in the stock browser that I use), though I'm fine with the 'Auto-fit pages' option on.
What you're asking for is exactly what "Auto-fit pages" is for, and it works perfectly for me. I can only guess that something is different between our devices (branding changes, different FW versions etc..)
Despite being overkill for such a small issue, is trying a different ROM out of the question?
Solved it by enabling Pinch-zoom button. That is the -/+ that shows up in the bottom right of the browser when you touch the screen.
Strangely you have to use this and zooming with your fingers won't work as stated by this thread.

Pinch-to-zoom doesn't do it, but double tapping to zoom in/out does.
Double tapping won't get the zoom you require it will zoom to fit the screen.
Try enabling Pinch in Dolphin browser. It works and is already enabled in stock browser.

Not true. It zooms to suit the "Default zoom" setting.
The first attachment is normal viewing, and the second is after I double-clicked the top left of the article. As you can see, the text is reformatted to fit the screen (not the other way round), and it is more than large enough to read. This is with default zoom set to medium.
I know this is an old thread, but I found it by searching for a solution for this problem as I now have a Note with the same issue, on ICS.
I think it's Samsung’s fault. It worked perfectly on my Galaxy nexus.
however, the good news is that there is a solution.
Download ICS browser+ from Google Play. Its great.

You have to double click twice... First double click = zoom, second double click is text refllow.
After the second double click you can pinch and zoom to any desired level and the text will reflow accordingly :good:

Tried it but it won;t work. I did the automatically text reflow too option too and when I zoom in just past the screen it automatically zooms out.
Even if I do a double tap it automatically zooms out.
Maybe it's my firmware. I'm on stock "I9100XWLPD". Could you or anyone else that got this working let me know which "exact" stock firmware you have so I can give that a try?...
^ Tried 3 other Stock ROMS this morning and no dice with this working on ICS Browser+.
Which exact Stock ROM versions are you guys getting this to work on?...
I changed UAString to Desktop in debug mode but websites still load as mobile. Any idea how to do it properly?
Wish I knew, but I so far haven't heard anything about it in terms of a solution. Its one of the only things holding me back from flashing TouchWiz, because I know it would aggravate me way to much
I've tried using the stock browser apks from the xoom, transformer, galaxy tab 10.1 on the touchwiz rom and still nothing. I think I'm doing something wrong though.
Also, how about a fullscreen mode in the stock TouchWiz browser? I have found no way to do this like in all other browsers. The top bar is always showing I think.
And Jesus, no re-flow of text on pages to resize to fit when zoomed in right? F'in riduclous.
My problem is the opposite, I cannot get out of full screen mode. WTF!!!!!
Nevermind, I have some type of popup that occurs when I touch the right side of the bezel.
you can change the UA string the exact same way that you would in any other android phone.. just type "about:debug" into the address bar, then go into settings and select "debug" tab. It's the second setting.
@gdog1977, you have quick controls enabled in the "labs" tab of the settings. touch and hold either side of the screen until a menu pops up, move your finger to the very bottom icon(four horizontal lines), select "settings" in the popup, and then select the "labs" tab on the left. then de-select the "quick controls" option.

Yes most of us are quite well aware of the about:debug mode, but again the problem is not switching it to the desktop UA, it is getting that setting to actually stick after reboots, etc. Anybody have any other ideas??

im using batista 2.1 and the browser works like the droid does in this video.
I use MIUI myself, so I can't check which way round this works but if you swipe the contact either left or right you can call or message them.
As for text reflow, set the zoom level in settings to whatever suits you and then use double-clicks to zoom in and out. Text reflow just doesn't work with pinch-to-zoom.

right to call, left to message....
For the browser, have you set it to auto fit pages on double tap?

"right to call, left to message" work
I had set "Auto Fit Pages" but when i use pinch to zoom the page doesn't auto fit, and when i double tab on the screen it zoom out to the default
any idea ?
The ability to make the font larger seems to have disappeared...
??
thanks.
It looks like the answer to this is no.
The next question is does anyone know how to revert to a prior version of Gmail? One where you can adjust the font size?

Open Gmail and select settings then general settings. You have 2 options here, you can place a check mark in the "Auto-fit Messages" option and then use pinch to zoom to enlarge text. Or you can uncheck the box and then the text will be larger but you will have to scroll side to side sometimes.
Also, you can go into the main settings page, and under display, gestures and buttons and increase the font size there. But that will increase the fonts on your whole phone.

Thanks for the reply. The issue with the auto-fit/pinch zoom is that it does not automatically reflow the text, so you have to either scroll back and forth (!!) or double tap. THIS IS WAY LESS ELEGANT than simply enabling a larger default font size, and is a lot more work. *reminds me of a blackberrry, where you have to hit 10 buttons in order to be able to see a properly formatted html message. Not good.*
Overall it is clunky now. So the question is, why remove the functionally in the first place?!? It's a dumb step backward.
I was somewhat disappointed to hear that Verizon made LG change the tab view for the settings to the more traditional list view. Well after some playing around I noticed that all you have to do is press menu and select "Switch to tab view" while on the settings page. That easy! So easy in fact that if you guys knew about this please lock down the thread.
Glad they didn't butcher it too badly. What about the volume controls? Heard they changed that...
That is good verizon did that to give u an option to view settings in traditonal and tab view

Yup, not in the notification tray unless you're playing something or on the phone.
I'm on Verizon. I swithched mine over to tab view. When I hit the settings app icon my menu is always back on list view. Only way it stays in tab view is if I hit the settings button on the pull down drawer.
