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'm really missing the scroll wheel from the mogul/6800. Is there a way to make the ring scroll in programs that don't have it mapped (like zooming in Opera)? I'd really like to use it to scroll through e-mail. I swear that I got it to scroll once in mail for a split second while the app was still loading, but promptly stopped scrolling once it finished loading.

I know I've seen somewhere (I think over @ ppcgeeks) that there was a way to set up custom apps to use the scroll ring in other applications. I'll look again and see if I can't find it.
you can enable scrolling with the sensor using advance config. At the bottom of the list there will be an option with 5 or 6 sub options
I believe DiamondTweaks also has an option for this

I just installed the file "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab" and I don't see any options for that in it...
Checking the other program mentioned shortly.

Yes it does. Nice app too.
Not as consistent as it should be but I am sure the developer will improve it steadily.
When I say this, I mean that u can scroll around but onceyou make a selection, you can't scroll within that selection.
In advanced config you have to add the programs that you want to scroll with manually. Open advanced config, go to menu, more settings, smarttouch, and add what ever program you like.
there are 2 programs. 1 is called gscroll and the other is called sensorscroll. gscroll is not free, but here is the link for sensor scroll: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466377
It does shut down on random, but allows you to scroll in manilla (fav contacts, programs, text message etc)
Even on my desktop I end up pressing CTRL+= to increase font size. When I do this it usually doesn't affect the layout of the website at all. All what it does is increase the font size without creating any scrolling. It means the whole window is visible so I don't need to scroll left/right to read and at the same time I got th ebenefit of being able to read (enlarging the font size).
How do I do this in Android? I have Firefox browser and the default browser.
Is there a way where I can increase font size on the run (or from setting). Zooming in will force me to scroll right and left which is VERY inconvenient for reading. If I can just do this CTRL+= thing which prevents scrollers and fits the whole text on the screen.
Is there a way to do such a thing using Android Smartphones?
I dont know what happen. I woke up one morning and the contact icon on the bottom of the home screen is gone. I usualy have four icons there. Phone contact messaging and application. But now i only have three. I still could see contact icon inside application. how do i fix it?
Open application drawer, menu, edit, long press the relevant icon and put it back? Or similar, I forget the exact order of things in TW.
how do i do that? im running on stock ics. I didnt root
I just told you? What's unclear and why are you going on about root?
In the 'Phone contact messaging and application', click on the application icon.
press the 'menu/options' button - this is the left of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone. this will pop-up a menu. Select 'Edit' from this menu.
You can now move all the icons about. You can move icons from page to page and also from the page to the 'Phone contact messaging and application'.
Once you have changed it to the way you want it, select the 'menu/options' button and select Save.
This has been already answered, but I thought I would make it a bit clearer. There is no requirement to root the phone for this as it is a standard feature of Android.

thanks in advance bye!
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!
When looking at webpages my screen does not automatically reformat/resize the columns so that I can read the page easily. It does resize the text but not the text column. It does not fit the text to the screen width. This results in me having to scroll left, right, left, right in order to read a page. It is quite frustrating. Coming from a thunderbolt, I am used too it resizing the column when I enlarge the text so I don't have to constantly go left and right to see all of the text.
Is there a setting I am missing or something to cause it to do this? How can I fix this problem?

Anyone?
same problem - think it has to do with font size

Please see my post of today in which I describe the same problem and note that on my ancient Samsung Droid Charge I had none of those difficulties. But there was no choice of font size.
Do you have the ability to pinch and zoom? Mine doesn't seem to work right if I'm supposed to have it. For me, in the long run, it will be a deal-breaker. I spend an average of 2 hours/day reading on my phone.
