I am currently running Android 2.2.1 and I find that the default text size in the stock browser is to small for me to read, and if I zoom in the text does not re-flow so I have to scroll to read. I tried searching for a solution but the only one I keep finding is to go to the browser settings menu and select "text size" and select a larger size, this sounds perfect except I don't have that option in the menu.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
Many thanks
Looks like its missing in 2.2.1 .
Dolphin Browser HD from the market instead .

Thanks for the suggestion...I thought someone may be able to tell me why I don't have that option on my device and a way to re-enable it.

I'm having this annoying problem lately. I can't change the active SIP anymore. It used to work (press on the small triangle next to the SIP show/hide icon), but now I press it and no selection comes up. It's really frustrating.
I can only change the default SIP by altering the registry, but then I have to reboot, so I don't like this approach.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Yes I have this problem. Just go into the help menu on the start tab and there will be the little keyboard on the bottom right this one seems to work on my Diamond but nowhere else.
Hi,
I've searched and found the way of changing fonts in the pop-up menu of my HTC Diamond.
However, the selections fonts (the similar to V shapes and the arrows for navigation in the pop up menu) are still in big size... does anyone know how to edit their size as well?
Thanks a lot!
Anyone pls?
Unfortunatelly I have the same problem. I want to have a perfectly clean WM 6.1 system, fully stylus-operated. I have already disabled all the "garbage" like TochFlo etc., I have decreased the pop-up menu font size (using Schap's Adv Config Tool, but that can be easily done with many other progs like SK-Tools etc.) but I still cannot do anything about those stupid large "arrows" and "V-signs" (like in the checkbox list). They remain the same big size, as it was before decreasing the pop-up menu font.
Really nobody knows how to decrease their size as well???
Just a quick suggestion, go to settings, system and screen. Then go to text size, change it down by one nouch. See if that helps
Unfortunatelly no - the popup menu font remains the same (but that I know how to controll over SK-Tools) and also the arrows/v-signs remain the same - very large that is
advanced config will let you change the size of the font in the popup window
This is what you're looking for:
HKLM\System\GWE\"WidgeSz"=0.
Drove me crazy for days too until someone pointed me in the right direction.

Jeez thanks man! That's exactly what I was looking for! Problem solved!
In case no one has seen this yet, I highly recommend to try this "build" of Opera Mini:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455655
It solves the issue of small fonts, and has no problem with data connections or permissions. It is FAAAAST. It is best version I've seen, and I've tried a bunch of them.
After 10 minutes with this, it is hard to go back to another browser. My advice -- embrace the "mobile" rendering mode, don't bother with the desktop pan/zoom mode, and enjoy simply paging up/down (with the left/right dpad) on pages that are reformatted almost perfectly on the small screen.
UPDATE: and, by the way, to use your BACK key to go back in pages, add this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\ChangeBackVKeyCode\Jbed_NativeUI = dword:00000008
(This makes the BACK key map to BACKSPACE, so it will also delete text when doing data entry, etc.)
I will certainly give this a try........thanks for the highlight.
I downloaded and installed the cab. The browsers good, but is there anyway to make the menu button at the bottom larger, because currently I am not even able to access it.

Well the easiest way to change that would be Menu -> Settings, and then change the font size, but if you can't access the menu button at all I think you can change the font sizes in the registry. I don't remember the location off-hand though.
could anyone post a screenshot please??
which version is now the best?? 20081016 or 20081203??
this browser is super fast, but i miss the zoom and drop down menus dont seem to work
I like it better than the default opera, but I have noticed some issues.
extending the keyboard seems to cause trouble, it causes the touchflo gui to cover up the opera menu bar. Tilting does not change from portrait to landscape.
Awesome browser. I wish you could zoom with the scrolling motion on the D-Pad like opera mobile, or that you could zoom at all. Thats the only problem. :/
Oh and if you start with your keyboard out the Touch Flo doesn't interfer with the menu bar at the bottom.
EDIT: I changed the font size, so zooming isn't needed. I love the mouse, it is so awesome. How can I set this as my default?
is this the one with the rainbow loading screen for the jvm?
Hi,
Fyi, I just noticed that Dolphin Mini browser is now out of beta, available on market.
The key changes, for me are that you can now select plugin behavior, and setting a gesture to Homepage now correctly goes to the Speed dial page, so I can use fullscreen almost 100%.

I really like it so far, seems to scroll smoother and they downsized those monster tabs! I'll have to try it on my phone.

Yeah. Looks nice.
It took me awhile, but I'm starting to like Dolphin Mini.
I still think that Xscope is faster, but I've been having problems with Flash (other thread here), and I really want a browser where I can leave it in full screen to take advantage of the Gtab screen size, without constantly pressing Menu to navigate.
The Dolphin Mini 1.0 allows me to do that.
Basically, I set all of the links that I usually go to on the Homepage/Speed dial page.
Then I set a gesture (a small "h") to go to the Speed Dial. Then go to fullscreen.
So now, whenever I want to go back to speed dial, I just do the "h" gesture, and I go from there, staying fullscreen all the time.

Since upgrading to Gingerbread I have been aware of the new text selection features, i.e. dragging the little pin to move the cursor. What I can't get right though is selecting text.
Previously I could double-tap and drag in order to highlight words, which made sense, but now whenever I double-tap anything, I get the "Cut" and "Copy" menu before I can even start to drag. The two separate pins don't ever appear that way.
The only way I can seem to make it work is by holding on a word, picking "Select word" and then dragging the two pins when they appear, which seems a little drawn out compared to before.
Anyone any clues? Have the gestures changed? Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it works now? Wondering if someone with a Nexus S or other custom Gingerbread ROMs can also confirm.
I don't know in which apps you have tried this, but the way it works in the browser and gmail (checked right now) is that you:
1.Tap and hold to go into text-selection mode
2.Drag your finger over the text you want to copy
3.Adjust with arrows as you see fit
4.Click on the selected text to copy it
5.Profit

Ah ha, I see, that seems to work for reading emails and web pages. I was more meaning inside text-entry boxes like in the SMS app, Google Talk, etc.
