Galaxy Nexus Browser Text Reflow with Auto-Fit

If "Auto-fit pages" is checked in the browser advanced settings, text reflows & the browser adjusts text so that it is displayed in a column with blank (white space) on webpages. If you then double tap the text zooms in and it is displayed formatted properly to the screen.
I have tried to explore all settings & have tried to search for answer as this is really frustrating.
Any help & guidance will be greatly appreciated. How do I fix this so that text is displayed properly?
Thanks!!

Thanks, made a small change to my post!!

Sooo uncheck the auto fit box???
Personally I hate that ICS doesn't reflow like previous Android, on demand when you do zoom in/out.

if you uncheck that box & double tap to zoom the text doesn't fit the screen and you have to scroll to the sides to read.
I have tried dolphin browser & am facing the same problem there as well.

Ok yeah, it's an ICS issue. I hate that they changed it.

Web browsing question

Hey all, just got my S3. Have been living on a G2 for a full 2 years. Had no issues, didnt see a need to upgrade. But I finally did.
I do a lot of news browsing on my fone, part of my job, i was able to double tap the text portion and my G2 would center and fit to screen just the text of the articles. Havent been able to figure out that on my S3. Is it even possible or do i just have to try and zoom and landscape view everything?
Another quick question, quick closing web page currently viewing. Say I was reading an article on one webpage and another window had say um er porn, how would i quick close the porn and go back to the article. (girlfriend is a quiet walker)

I use xscope browser, swipe to the side and the screen changes to your other open page and dbl tap zoom works.

Regarding the text resize issue, the default browser should have that functionality. Check that settings > advanced > auto fit is enabled. If I was worried about hiding pr0n fast I would just hit home and open something random. It'd be like to key presses. I'm guessing switching tabs would have to be the same or more.

but that does not explain the pants around the ankles....

Stock browser has a reading mode. On a lot of sites press the green R in the address bar. Not quite the same but can be nice to use.

This made me chuckle.
Why not just hit the home button ?
Is it really more believable to be going at it to an article about stool softener, solar panels, or Obama than your homescreen ? Homescreen's probably less awkward than Obama, man, unless your girlfriend is into that.
Also, browsers have tabs. Just switch tab ? Delineate browser usage by function ?
Or just look at porn together or something that way you don't have to hide it. :good:

Thanks guys, the autofit actually helped a lot.
"checking for hemoroids" is a good excuse for the pants around the ankles. Has worked for me.

S-pen and auto-scroll disable or toggle ?

I did a search on this and found others asking and frustrated but no answers. Perhaps someone here can lead me in the right direction.
I notice the annoyance of this in landscape mode and I am talking about the s-pen auto scroll. Lets say you are using Dolphin browser and you want to type something in the keyboard pepper up taking 50% of the screen The tabs of the browser take Up another 15% . This leaves a small window to Work in. When you use the s-pen to scroll around auto-scroll jvmqs around at full speed this makes it difficult to use the pen to click on the next box.
Anyone had this problem?

Scroll down and you will see an option to disable SPen auto scroll. It drived me crazy too until I found it

[Q] How to internet resize and settings question? How to minimize and close?

1.Hello, so the old note 10.1 has a "resize/multi window" button on the top right corner, how do I resize the internet browser in the 2014 edition w/o going into multi-window mode? As in just dragging the window a bit smaller?
2. Also, for settings - is it possible for settings to be in multi-window mode? I'd rather have it on the side so I can browse the internet while playing with the settings?
3. Anyway to close the internet browser by just pressing "x" in the corner or somewhere?
4. Also, how to resize apps like gallery w/o doing multiwindow?
5. Anyone else experience lag a bit w/ BT keyboard? When I get the word "English (US)" on bottom I always experience a bit of lag? Fix? I disabled onscreen keyboard.
6. For registering the $600 dollar parks, it keeps saying incorrect serial number and MAC address? I cannot seem to register.
Thanks!

You don't. If you want a resizable window open the browser in Pen Window using Air Command. Once you do, when you minimize it, you'll get a floating icon that lets you use your N10.1-14 normally but by clicking on the icon you can then open the browser at any time. A Multi View option like what you know as "Cascade" on the old Note is coming in the 4.4/M-UX update.

No. But using the above you can open a browser and have it running on top of anything else you want.

If you have a single browsing session up clicking "X" on its tab closes it and ends your Internet session (hitting "back" exists out of the browser). If you have multiple tabs open hit the menu button and select "close all."

No resizing, other than Pen Window apps, until 4.4/M-UX.

I get the pop-up but it doesn't cause any lag. I'm using a Samsung keyboard.

Do you have a Groupon refurb? It may have been previously registered. If not, contact Samsung support they've been pretty helpful according to those that posted issues getting the perks credit.

Woah, thanks. This was so helpful.
Another 3 questions:
1. Last one Moon reader+ supported multi-window and where I would just minimize moon reader and have the internet in the background? Is there any way to do this or do I wait until next update for casacae mode? Moon reader+ is a ebook reader btw. I was also able to move Moon Reader+ around wherever I wanted. I can't seem to do that here.
2. Bluetooth keyboard tends to lag in LectureNotes (badly) and has a slight, but annoying lag in QuickOffice. This doesn't seem to happen in Polaris Office, or when I do short typing. But once I type longer it starts lagging and sometimes English(US) pops up and cause more lag. Anyway to fix this? thanks.
I have Microsoft Wedge and this worked perfectly on my Note 10.1 2012.
Also, anyway to resize and move applications around that used to support multi-window? Like resizing any way you want to, not just to the right or left. How come some had multi-window in previous Note, but not anymore in this one? Like lectureNotes?
3. Another odd one is Polaris Office 5 says it cannot open a .docx file right after I downloaded it because it isn't supported. But it works fine when I look for it in file browsing in PO5.

Thanks, but I don't want to root :/.
So, no multi-window feature anymore?

Chrome Tablet Layout

In many reviews and videos I've seen on the Fold, Google Chrome has the tablet view that has the website tabs at the top like on it has on tablets or desktop and no matter what build I try on my Fold, I only see the mobile view with tabs in a list by pressing a button.
Does anyone else have the tablet view? If so, what build of Chrome are you using or is there a setting that needs to be changed?

Interesting, I have the same chrome as you do, the one without the tablet tabs. I am using an ATT variant of the phone but plan to flash it to US unlocked very soon. I will let you know if it changes the chrome tabs.

I figured it out, got my answer from Reddit.
You have to change the Screen Zoom to the smallest setting in the Display options and then all apps will use their tablet layout including Chrome, Gmail, Facebook etc.
