Biggest Complaint So Far

android N will let users scale the DPI setting through the UI. until then you can use adb to adjust the DPI.

the OEMs do adjust the DPI for what they feel is good for the user, which is why you see the variation between them, DPI (in this sense) is not a function of the hardware, it's just a software setting.

I did adjust the DPI to Condensed via the Nova Launcher method. I didn't like it overall, and it didn't seem to do anything to the notification font size in question anyway.

I wonder if everyone else's font size looks the same as the one in my screenshot upthread? If maybe there is some sort of glitch in my setup? I understand opinions vary, but I have a hard time believing nobody else has an issue with that notification detail size.

This is mine. I did the Nova Launcher change and kept it since I like smaller icons and more screen space.

Thanks. Looks like you have the tiny font, too.

Yea i dont like it either, have to put on reading glasses to see it
That and i wish i could hide apps in that app drawer, and or be able to group the apps into folders like you can if you put em on the home screen and group into a folder. Why the heck didnt they give the ability to do it in the app drawer ? :-\

condensed is the opposite direction you would want to go, you want to increase the DPI setting (which makes the UI elements and text larger) and the only way to make it larger than the default setting is through adb.

you can create folders in the app drawer (i'm assuming you're talking about the Touchwiz (stock) launcher) you just click the edit and then drag an app onto another one and it will create a folder.

I know. Thanks. I don't want a lower resolution just, and all it brings, to make the notifications larger.

The smaller font lets you read more of the notification. That would be a bonus, wouldn't it?

I see the size of the font in question. I am wondering how you read other things on your phone at all, since the font for all the toggles is just as small.

The toggles also have the icon, though. Don't really have to read those.

That is fortunate. I'm assuming you use the shortcuts on your home-screen are the same way? That font is nearly the same size.

I use Nova as my launcher, so they're not.

Clearly it is as others prefer to make theirs smaller.

I tried it for a week and changed it back to default on both of my S7 Edge phones. I prefer it the way it came from the factory.

The large DPI was almost a deal-breaker for me buying this phone. Luckily, the condensed option is available and it makes the phone much more usable.

Just buy some bi-focals and have done with it
