How do you get text to resize in the Web browser

[calcheese]

For text reflow in the stock GSIII browser, you need to use the Reader.

You can find a green R icon in the address bar for supported websites.

Then you can zoom in and the text will reflow..

Personally, I prefer it without the reflow.. I'm fine with the auto-fit

This is deal breaker for me, and I will not get this phone. My E4GT will reflow the text the more I zoom in.

Not good enough. It needs to work with all websites.

I would be willing to bet that this issue would be one of the first solved via a Samsung update. I wouldn't jump ship just yet.

from what I have heard, it's never done that on a samsung phone.

Not true. My wife's Epic 4G and my E4GT can both reflow the text if you keep pinch zooming.

It will be interesting to see if the Note 2 is capable. We shall see...

They may fix it if they recognize it as a problem for users. What is the mechanism for making them aware of it?

Yes, I've gone through all those settings carefully.

The best it seems to be able to do is what I described above.

It doesn't let you zoom when viewing mobile pages.

What websites doesn't it work with?....Haven't found one yet it doesn't work on.

All mobile web sites. Try Facebook

Often you can force the browser to request the full site instead of mobile.

What answer?

Did you figure out how to get the text to reformat to screen width when you zoom?

According to Samsung and my testing, you can zoom but it won't reformat, as I described above.

Yes, I have Chrome set as my default browser on my new EVO, & it is sweet! I had to dig into the app associations in the main setting pull down, then picked Web URLS, & selected Chrome. You have to install it first though, as it isn't the standard browser until jelly bean..

Many of the features that the galaxy s2 has were removed from this phone such as text resizing. Makes me think if I down graded buying this phone. I could pretty much zoom all the way in with my s2 and the text would resize, even if it was two words per row. I don't know why they would remove that. I have a gut feeling it was an Apple patent and they sued.
