Ive searched around for a while and havent been able to find anything but is there anyway to stop the browser from automatically resizing the text whenever you zoom in. I find it kinda annoying and i cant find anything in settings. Thnx.

I'm confused. You don't want the text to ZOOM when you ZOOM? ZOOMING, by definition, gives you a close up, which makes things appear bigger.

I am with homeslice on this one. In the browser settings you can select default text size. But when you zoom in and out the text will always change proportionately with the zoom. I personally have never used a browser on a phone or a computer that was any different.

Hey guys, I've searched for this, and can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I used to own an HTC HD2 with the stock WM6.5, and what I loved about its web browser is that after pinch-to-zooming any web text, the text would automatically re-fit itself to the borders of the screen. However, on my Nexus One and my new Nexus S I've noticed that no matter what I do, the only way to actually get the text to fit nicely on the page is to either double tap the screen (which decides its own level of zoom) or to use the little zoom +/- buttons. Is there any way that I can have the simplicity of pinch to zooming with having the text auto-fit itself to the page? Thanks.
actually the browser does the same thing you are asking. there are a few methods.
first, load any random webpage, double tap, and yes it zooms in to default level and re-flows the text.
but, just use pinch to zoom, go to your desired level, then double tap that text, and it will re-flow the text at that specific zoom level to the edges of the screen. just like you want.
Thanks for the quick response. Indeed, I have been double tapping after pinch to zooming to get the text to auto-fit, but my question is if it's possible to have the text auto-fit immediatley after pinch-to-zoom without the additional step of double tapping. Yes, it's only one extra step, but just curious if there's any way around it.
Dolphin browser has this setting. Also cm rom in cm settings also has it.

Where in dolphin settings would I find the appropriate setting? Thanks in advance!
Settings, then advanced. Then you have 2 settings, open in overview and auto fit to page. In your case untick open in overview and check fit to page.

This has helped me too - Thanks
What is cm rom though?
Cyanogenmod, the most popular android custom rom. It requires root, obviously.

when i get a text message that has a few pictures in it. i don't want to have to wait for each picture in the slideshow, i would rather have the option to flip through them at will
When somebody sends me a (one) picture by MMS it always shows up as a slideshow and I have to press play to see it. It's really annoying because you can't zoom on the pic, you have to save it then click on it.
This didn't use to happen with my Xperia X10. Is this a setting on our phones?
exists with the whole galaxy line. the way around is to use another app for your sms needs.
They all do that. Unless there is a specific app u had in mind.

Does anyone have a problem where the text in the sms windows get really small? It just seems to happen out of no where and randomly.

It's not an issue I don't think. It's just like pinch to zoom so you can change font size

This happens to me actually. I'll go into the texting app and see that the text has turned small.

Don't agree, sorry. You can pinch to zoom to change the font size of the text bubbles, yes. But after the text has become small, if I use the pinch to zoom function to make everything bigger to the original normal size, after sending a few texts, the text will suddenly become super fat. Then I have to re-pinch/zoom back the big font down to a smaller size.
So... something is not right somewhere.
Mhm, it's a glitch, it was talked about before with no solution..
I had that issue but I just used titanium backup to restore messaging app plus data. That is if you have it backed up. If not go grab a messaging apk and that should fix your issue (hopefully more than temporarily)

I just got a new phone and the stock messenger app does not have pinch to zoom like my last 2 phones did. I can increase the font size to make the message readable for me but it makes the message list unreadable. I also use androids triple tap magnification a lot, but it is not ideal for reading messages.
I've installed then uninstalled a bunch of messenger apps and none of them have pinch to zoom so far.
Anyone know of a decent messenger app that has a pinch to zoom feature? I would be glad to pay as long as it's not subscription based.
Thanks,
Jerry

Try looking in system settings>accessibility settings and look around in there to see if you have a setting to enable "triple tap to zoom".

Thanks. I use triple tap zooming all the time, but it is not ideal for reading messages. The minimum zoom level is too much so you have to use 2 fingers and drag all over the place. With pinch to zoom in a messaging app you only need to scroll up and down like you would normally do without zooming.

It is a Moto G6 (Straight Talk) running Oreo 8.0.0. After so many install/uninstalls of messaging apps I had to factory reset, lol. For the time being I've settled on Pulse. I can max out the text size on the messages without messing with the rest of the UI. With just a little difficulty I'm able to read my messages without magnification now.
