Is there a way to disable the double-tap zoom on the web browser for 2.1 root? It's very irritating since every time I tap on a text field, it auto double taps and zooms in. It is just very inconvenient for me.
Get a better browser...
Opera
Dolphin
etc
etc
What if I'm happy with the browser I'm using? I've tried other browsers and I just don't like them.
You clearly aren't happy with your current browser if its doing something you don't want it too...
Asking on here won't get you much else. I'm assuming you have checked the settings. What do you expect from us? There is no magic off button that is hidden away afaik.
FYI - try running the ACID3 test on the built in browser and then tell me you're happy with it...
I'm not sure exactly what this test proves, but I scored a 99/100 on the default browser.
It's just a little annoyance. I was only wondering if there was a way to do so that isn't within a normal method to disable.
I don't expect anything, I was just curious if someone had insight.
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?...
When scrolling through a website on the browser I have noticed that if you start scrolling strictly vertically or horizontally the browser "sticks" in this direction for while, and then lets go. The scrolling is not completely fluid. I find this EXTREMELY annoying especially when trying to scroll in a diagonal direction.
Is there any way to remove this vertical & horizontal "scroll lock"
i noticed this too on a few occasions. at first it got me worried that there was a zone in the screen not registering touch input (i had this issue on my atrix which is why i ditched it).
but i haven't really had any problems anywhere else...
i heard there was an app out that fixes some sensitivity issues for the sgs2. try 'touchscreen booster' from the market and play with the settings a bit. let me know if that fixes your problem
I have the touch screen sensitivity app already ( which is included in a lot of kernels). i noticed the scrolling improvement thought the phone but still have the same issue with the browser. im suprissed that this isnt a hot topic. i hope some one can figure it out eventually.

It isnt a hot topic because its not an issue everyone is getting....so far only two of you are reporting it
It doesnt happen to my stock browser, or my friends
It might help if we knew what firmware you are running
Plus, this has nothing to do with development - this should be in Q&A

I think this is a "feature" to make it easy to scrool up/down and left/right(So you don't have to adjust if you read a long page).

+1. This is a "feature" lol. And I like it. It would be hard to read long pages without it.
lol'd
I'd resurrect this topic, because this problem is driving me nuts.
I LOVED scroll lock, and now after ICS update there are only problems. The only browser that I found to offer working scroll lock is Firefox, but it has some disadvantages. Opera Mobile has partially good scrolling, but double-tap-to-zoom fails if you disable text wrapping.
Now I use Firefox + Tasker to kill it when it's in background. I got used to scroll lock so much with stock SGS2 browser and exPDF that I can't comfortably read stuff without it. Today I also tried Boat Browser, Dolhpin, Maxthon, Skyfire, and they all failed. Can't they make browser that would behave just like exPDF? There are tons of features, but I think that web browser is actually for reading stuff.
I've been a bit puzzled by the 'shortcuts' in the Note's (stock GB) camera app. You can only have four "shortcuts" showing and there's no way to change any of the other settings unless you change one of the shortcuts to the option you want to change, tap it, change it, then move your original shortcut back, assuming the four shortcuts you originally picked were because you wanted to change them frequently? Meh.
Am I missing something? Besides "use another camera app" ?
Bump, maybe someone knows now
I don't remember the details in GB but if it works like it does on ICS (samsung stock camera. I'm almost positive is the same) you can scroll down on the settings box and see all the different options.
By using the shortcuts you don't have to scroll all the way down for the functions that you use more often.

Damnit. Of all things, I didn't notice the Settings icon right in the 'shortcut bar', I was looking for something exposed by the menu button. Thanks!
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a third party browser that resizes text when you zoom? All of my HTC phones do this, and I LOVE this feature! Is this something that has to be in the framework, or is it just coded into the browser apps software on HTC? My Transformer Prime does it also, but only if you double tap after zooming in, which is even better in my opinion. I've always used the stock browser since ICS since it seems to work well, and the only third party browsers I've ever used are Chrome, over screen, and dolphin. I know there's a lot of other browsers out there, but I really don't want to download and try them all to track down this feature, if it even exists in a third party one?
Try Opera...that is what I have always used and I really like it!
It worked with dolphine hd perfectly. You would have loaded a non-mobile page, double tap on any text and it wouldve zoom in and reflow, but that was before i updated to ICS. Now it wont work anymore. Could also be because of the latest dolphine update. I already contact them and got a reply, then i sent them a video of this issue. It reflows the text already on loading the page, zoomed out. You can still zoom in by double tapping, but the scroll wont stick, so you also go left or right if you wanna just scroll down.

Try turning the feature on in the stock browser.
Besides the text flow...the brightness thing that is separate from the system brightness is retarded. On the video player also.

Could you clarify? I looked in Settings...Power Saving...and didn't see an option.
I also looked in the individual apps...and there wasn't a Power Savings menu. Only option to turn on or off the Automatic brightness.
Thanks.

Sorry guys. I should have been more specific.
Text Reflow = with the browser open go to settings>advanced>auto fit pages
Brightness issue = turn off power saving in the notification pull down + then open stock browser, then go to menu>Brightness and colors>Click auto brightness and make sure default is checked.
There is also an option in the display setting of the phone labeled "Auto adust screen tone". It is supposed to help battery life. I have it checked.
Both these issues drove me crazy until I figured out the new settings. Coming from GB, there is a bit of a learning curve.
Hi Guys. I am assuming you figured it out, but the thread was buried quickly so I bumped it just in case.
Does anyone else experience the text reflow issue in dolphine hd browser on ICS as i explained in this thread? I have auto fit pages on. But it doesnt work properly. And the most annoying missing feature is scroll stick. It all previously worked on GB.

Wish I could help Frank. It is working fine for me. Have you tried deleting Dolphin and starting from scratch with it? I have four different browsers on my phone until I settle on one that works for me. Learning a little more each time I try different ones. GB and ICS are very different in appearance and functionality. One step forward, two steps back.
On a separate note...can anyone delete the stock browser bookmarks that were included with the phone? I have also tried to reorder my favorite bookmarks with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Well this sucks if its only on my phone (galaxy s2).
Yes i reinstalled dolphine, but it still has the problem.
I attached a photo with a loaded page. Notice how the text in the posts is already reflowed? And if i double tap, it zoomes in, regardless of text beeing there... it just zoomes in, in the middle of where i db tapped... ill see where dolphine support gets me.

Boat browser will fix your problem and it's also pretty fast.
