I have the S908U - Verizon version, and I can not get the text size to the smallest size like I can on the S21, I have good eyesight so when the font is bigger then I'd like, I feel like I am wasting space. I can get the S22 CLOSE to what the font size is on my s21 unlocked, but just not quite there. It's a font feature that use to be under accessibility tab, it would decrease the font in ALL apps, texts etc....it's a weird question but does anyone else do this or know how to manually decrease the font? 1st screenshot is the S21, 2nd is the S22.
Enable Developer mode, then go in and increase the 'minimum width' value. You don't need to change it by much (mine is on 435).

Thank you, this did it! When I looked at what the S21 was set at ( 512 ), I changed it to the same on the S22 and it's right where I want it to be! Thanks!
Is this because the max resolution is a little bit smaller then the S21?
Um... No idea

Some of the photo's I've taken using my Nexus one I'd like to mms friends but the size is so outrageous because of the camera settings I use.
I simply want an application that I can use to convert a photo to something more reasonable. Thanks
not sure if this includes a resize option.

edit: nope no resize.
The inbuilt mms application will downsize it anyhow, isn't that what you're looking for?
I use Handcent. In the settings menu you can actually change the max size for mms. I notice that sending mms that is larger will not reach an iphone. :/
For other carries other than t-mobile unfortunately, cannot handle larger sizes. I have no problem sending pics at a max setting of 1.5M to other t-mobile customers. I seem to have the best luck with a 600k or 500k max. The program will still make them smaller but at least they won't max out higher than that. Hope this helps a little.
On my OnePlus 3T and my S7 Edge, there is an option in the Display settings that allows me to adjust the overall display size. It will reduce or increase the look and size of the entire display (smaller text, icons, menus). Does anyone know if the Mate 9 has the same menu, or anything similar?

If you enable that developer options, there is an option labeled "Smallest width", changing that will adjust the dpi and scale everything smaller or bigger.

FYI...The bigger the number, the smaller everything gets. It's the opposite of changing the density in the build prop. I personally like to leave my display size at large and set the smallest width value to 500.

In the settings menu, you tap...display then tap view mode. Then you can choose large, medium or small. I personally like changing the smallest width in developer settings.
Maybe is it possible to get tablet ui working here? Tryed to change dpi through dev options, but nothing, if i even set it to 600.
On Nexus 6p, i put that on 590 and had tablet ui in apps working.
You can just change it in the display mode setting no need to mess about I have it on small
Screenshot for above

I could get a quasi tablet looking interface for gmail app using a dpi of 800. By tablet looking interface I mean that, besides the usual list of emails, some of the options you get by swiping to right from left edge were present on the screen without swiping. For example I now had the option to switch email provider, (from gmail to aol) without swiping. The problem is that changing dpi to 800 hosed "settings". It would crash if I tried to open it. Fortunately the dpi did not stick when I rebooted. For those that use Dolphin browser, by changing dpi to 480 (from the default 432) you can get a 4 by 4 grid of icons for speed dial (instead of the 3 by 3 that comes by default setting of dpi).
Personally, I would not want my global dpi to be 800. I would just want certain apps to run with higher dpi. Normally I do this with the Xposed module App Settings. But, as AFAIK, that is not possible on nougat at this point. If someone knows how to modify an app to change it's individual dpi setting please do chime in!
Am I just getting old, or is the default Font size smaller than it was on last year's Pixel?

I'm not sure if it's smaller, but it's definitely tiny! It will be the first thing I change if/when I get the Pixel 2.

I'm having the same problem. The default size is tiny. When I increase the system font size I noticed that many of my apps/content doesn't render or wrap text properly and cuts off the text. Does anyone else? Any solutions? This seems like such a simple thing to overlook.
I didn't change the font size just the display size to large and it's enough for my liking.
Anyone else noticed for such a large display the text is overly large, see pics & YouTube clip I have the Samsung tab S 10.5 & more text is filled on the screen than the Huawei 10.8" display (even the nexus 10 shows more text) & that's with the Text size & view mode set to small because of this I would end up scrolling more. This is making me think twice about getting the tablet. The one I reviewed is my parents.
Does not help that the max home screen grid is only 6x5 where as the Samsung tab is 8x6 which is better.
in the landscape picture it mostly is because of the navigation bar you dont need wth the tab s.
I agree with it being slightly less dense than your parents tab s but I only have a old notebook as a comparison (with 1366&768 resolution) and am perfectly happy with the tablet. I suppose this could be changed with a custom rom though.
Edit: btw if it is just the browser you can adjust the scale. in firefox go to about:config and search for font.size.systemFontScale. I've got it on 70 instead of 100 and can fit a lot more content.
First of all which OS is the Tab S running. Is it the old WebView which comes as separate App, or does it already have the new WebView which is integrated into Chrome. Seems as if it is the old one on the Tab S.
Regarding the Launcher grid well yeah EMUI is different to TouchWiz, less rows and columns on the grid, but less lag fest as well. If you want to obtain more rows and columns on the grid change the launcher let's say to Nova Launcher Prime.

Increase value in system - > dev options - > smallest width

I agree, I've done the same. For me, it's the non text items that are far too big. It feels like they've taken the 8.4" tablet and just scaled everything up.
I use a value of 950 - if you go smaller than that, the settings pages can become unusable. Note that this gets set on a restart, so you have to go back to Developer Options and set the value again. Still, how often do you reboot the tablet?
Trying to decide on upgrading to the Note 10+ from Note 8. I do a lot of reading on photography forums and on kindle. Is there any way to know if you get more lines of text displayed on the 10+. I know it is a larger screen with more pixels but at the high resolution display setting does it actually display a few more lines of text for reading or composing longer emails.
Thanks
Yes it does, but its depending on your font, tell me what font size you use and i will check for you 1:1 with note 8
Using standard font - one size larger than smallest
I am using the standard font and selected one size larger than smallest available on selector. Thanks for checking this out.
