Help Galaxy 3 help

gwd

Newbie
Sorry if I'm in the wrong section.

On my HTC Desire I could pull and stretch the text about and it would re assemble to fit the screen ( don't know the tech jargon for this ),
now having upgraded to a Galaxy3 I would like this feature again but cannot find it - is it an option?
Only had the phone since Mon so I may have over looked something

Extremely pleased with the Galaxy3 apart from this.
 
Double tap on the screen, it should resize text to fit.

And welcome to the forums! I'm going to move this to the Galaxy S3 section :)
 
I think your meaning pinch zoom, just like jerofld said tho.

You should pop into the S3 Watering Hole if you fancy a chat with other S3 owners :D
 
Thanks for moving the message to the correct place - your right ....big forum.

I tried the double tap and it does magnify the text but it still does not
"fit to screen" like the Desire did.
I will try to give a better example with the Desire - Take any message on this forum and pull apart with my fingers the text would get larger but would fill the screen with all the message when I released it. ( of course I would have to scroll to read it because it as expanded )
Now back to the G3 - pull the message out and you just zoom in. ( no fit to screen when released ).

Wish I could be more percise with my question, but I'm sure someone who's come from the Desire will figure out what I mean.

Thanks.

Its called "text reflow" and no, it doesn't seem to be here
 
"Word Wrap" that is what I was looking for.
I've download the Opera browser and it now works, but its strange that this option is missing from the OS ?
Very handy option when ones sight is not very good.

Thanks for a quick solution.
 
I like using text reflow as i am blind as a bat and it allows me to zoom way in. The standard browsers only allow one level of zoom. There are two browsers that i have tried that allow this, Opera mobile and Boat browser. My current preference is Boat Browser, strange name but great browser. Give it or Opera a go. Good luck.
