On my old Evo Lte you could make the screen bigger by swiping outward. (to make the text larger)
Then tap the screen and the text remains larger and is fitted to the screen.
Is this still available with any browser?
I know it's not on chrome.

I found a very annoying bug in the stock browser (not present in Dolphin).
When writing in a big text area (such as the one to input this message) it happens that the text goes automatically to a new line when reaching the end of the screen, so you should able to see all the text.
This behavior is correct, but there's an ugly bug that causes the screen to automatically scroll right (as if the text was only in one line), so at a certain point I'm no more able to see the text I'm writing, because while the text is placed in a new line, the scroll forces me to view a blank area. There's definitely no way to disable this, and even if you scroll back to the area in which the text can be seen, when pressing the text area to write another word you are automatically scrolled back to the wrong position.
Do you experience this problem too?
[EDIT]
Ok actually this is a known bug in android, and this is the URL http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9828
Ever since i strted using dolphin hd, nevr used my stock browser
Hello
I've had a search but can't seem to find anything around this.
Is there an app, (or a way to make the stock gallery) that displaysFish photos in full screen? When swiping through the pictures, the pictures display in the middle of the screen (lot of 'black' all round) and yes I can tap to zoom, but I would prefer the pictures to fill the screen automatically as as each one is displayed.
I have had a look at Quickpic, Fishbowl and a couple of others but they seem the same. The pictures should have resolution that exceeds the Tab screen res. They were transferred to the tab via Kies (does that resize pics?)
Have found the cause. Keis. It resizes pictures on transfer. With darg and drop no issues.
Sorry this is such a noobish question to start off with but I'm having trouble finding a feature I stumbled across a few days ago. Obviously to move between home screens you swipe left and right and pressing the home key from the main screen displays all 5 (swiping up from the bottom of the screen also does this).
The display I saw was a minimized view of each page, each a bit larger than when you're viewing all 5 at once, but only one was viewable on screen at a time and you could swipe left or right to see the others. I've no idea how I got in to that and I can't find any combination of controls to get back to it. I also can't see any purpose to it but it was definitely a deliberate feature and not a bug or glitch.
Can anyone shed any light on that please?
I believe that would be a bug.. there are several homescreen bugs I encounterd with my razr but all tolerable for me..
Case 1:
Slightly tilted diagonally homescreen when swiping left and right..
Case 2:
Minimize view (5 displays) also all screen tilted diagonally...
Maybe we can consider your scenario as a 3rd case..
The screen you see when you tap the home button twice (when already at the middle /primary home screen)?

This sounds interesting, but i'm not sure what you want this for?
Is it like when you see all the home screens, but more zoomed in?
For what its worth, i've been hitting the keys, trying to get to something like this, but no luck..
Yeah I can't fathom any purpose for it... The best I can describe it is like viewing a zoomed out version of each page on your home screen. The same widgets and icons are there, you can flick left and right, 1 page displays at a time but it didn't seem like you could do anything useful from that view.
I thought it may have been a deliberate feature but any combination of buttons or gestures won't reproduce it on my RAZR so I guess it was a bug. It seemed completely deliberate though, it wasn't distorted or glitchy... It was somewhat like on samsungs touchwiz (galaxy s II for example) when you can add in widgets and shortcuts from a zoomed out view of each page except all you had was the zoomed out view and no discernible function.
Thanks for the advice though.
I figured it out.
Sometimes, when you are dragging between the homescreens, and press home at the same time, you will get strange zoomed versions of the home screens, and sometimes it was zoomed out, exactly as you describe.
However, i mostly got a heavily zoomed in version or crooked one.
Just try again and again, and you will see a lot of strange things, and eventually the one you describe
The reason I DON'T have an Android phone yet is because of a failing in Android navigation on a website that is important to me. Let me describe the situation.
A website that I frequent returns a display with a scrollbar on the far right side. Within the same display is a smaller "box" that also has a scrollbar. For those of you who are "show me" types, go to tvguide.com, click on "What's on TV", put in a zipcode, cable, pick a cable provider, select "all premium channels" (or whatever) then Go. The resulting "small box" is the one with the individual channel listings on it. Tell me what's on channel 45.
How do I navigate within the smaller box? If you touch the screen and move your finger "down" the big display moves down. I want the small display to move down.
The iPad, on the same website, has the same problem. But I accidentally discovered that if I touch the screen inside the small box with TWO FINGERS, spread a little apart, (like I am going to zoom in or zoom out), but keep the fingers exactly the same distance apart, and move BOTH of them down or up at one time, the small display moves up and down, while the big display stays the same.
Does that make sense? I have tried the two-finger method on TMo's newest Android phone, but can't get the bottom of the small box. TMobile says "tap the small screen first" but all that does on either of the two websites is "select" that line/television show.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is the site optimized for mobile devices?
Try doing a double tap in the small box. That's what I do in situations like this. It usually works.

I would suggest trying a different browser. I know you may not have that option (since you don't own and Android device? Guessing you're borrowing?) but I use Dolphin HD and it works flawlessly. When I open the page you mention (tvguide.com) the scroll inside and outside the smaller widow work independently. This on a device running Android 2.3
No, neither website is (apparently) mobile-friendly. Then again, I'm not a fan of mobile-direct websites. They usually lack the content that I am looking for. Not a fan of "apps" because I don't want to have to have an app for every website I visit. I want a mobile browser that does whatever an immobile browser does! I want it all. And I want it now!
I currently have an HTC Flyer which I got after finding my Transformer tablet was just too big. But I found that due to the lower resolution screen of the Flyer, many apps display single panes instead of the side-by-side panes. So I have to hit the back button quite a bit.
Since the Springboard has a higher-resolution screen, could someone tell me if Gmail and Google Reader (the one from Google, not the 3rd party ones...) display in the dual side-by-side pane view like on a 10" screen, or if one pane hides the other like on a phone or my HTC Flyer?
Screenshots for bonus points!
Not sure about the reader but Gmail displays dual panes.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.
Does it stay in dual-pane view even when you're reading the body of a message?
My 10" Transformer kept my messages list on the left, my HTC Flyer goes into single-pane view when I actually select a message to read.
Yes. App opens with folders on Left and messages on Right. Selecting a message moves the message list to the Left and the email body is shown on the Right. That's in landscape orientation with the display in high definition mode. No dual pane in in portrait orientation. Also, this is with ICS installed. Don't recall how Honeycomb behaves.

But now I'm wondering if Google will announce the Nexus Tablet next week and if that will have a high-res or a lower-res display...
Decisions, decisions...
