Text Reflow on Browser? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just wondering if the stock browser on the Note III supports pinch to zoom text reflow ala HTC?
My Note II didn't until the 4.1.2 update, where it incorporated tap to resize. Still nowhere near as good as HTC but good enough. However, I've heard the GS4 and Note III don't even support this anymore therefore I'm sure Samsung will inexplicably remove this feature when they eventually update the Note II!
Thanks for any help.

Ahh sucks to hear that
I'm actually considering getting a HTC One as my next phone. Would be curious to hear your opinion on the phone as a whole? I'll miss multi-window but that's basically it. I won't miss TouchWiz at all.

If that your issue then that's good to know, as I can live with 32GB.

Most likely the reasons for this are the workarounds Samsung did because of some Apple patents: http://www.fosspatents.com/2012/10/samsung-apple-can-claim-no-patent-on.html#samsungworkarounds

Apple doesn't have text reflow though...
HTC always has

Firefox has it but the way it works is terrible.
You'll zoom in or out but then the whole screen will move up or down naming youlose your spot in the page.

Galaxy S Pro coming to Sprint and it's 4g enabled

Maybe it is time to send HTC a message and say goodbye. This thing looks nice and if it has the specs of the original Galaxy...... Thoughts? http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/sprints-4g-equipped-samsung-galaxy-s-pro-in-the-wild/#comments http://androidcommunity.com/exclusive-more-pictures-of-the-galaxy-s-pro-20100614/

True, but from the reports coming out of the Evo forums, even the Moment doesn't seem too bad.
i am a firm believer that HTC should have all rights to the androidOS

Very true, but no matter who runs android less not forget who was the first to bring android to the public! To bad it had to be T-Mo that got to carry it. psst!
im sorry guys but samsung is a joke when it comes to smart phones, i will never own one. they should stick to making tvs and whatever else they make non smartphone related, i have also heard bad things about evo, something about the screen messing up at the bottom for people causing led bright light to shine so bright under the screen, kinda like that separation from the screen and the bottom of the hero how you can kinda see the light. I hate tht about the hero, why couldnt they seal that better. just piss poor

I do agree with your assessment about Samsung.....as far as software is concerned, but I have to say that the hardware and or manufacturer that Samsung uses is FAR superior to that of HTC. I came from an Instinct before the Hero. It was absolutely the worst software ever introduced on a phone but it was also the best hardware that I have seen to this day. Combine that with the upgraded tech inside and Android for the OS it really cant be bad. Then again, after the Instinct, I swore that there would never be another Samsung in my pocket. lol I'll probably keep to that promise.
While i agree that sammy's suck.. this looks to be a great play for sprint.. the more hi-end androids the better.. maybe they can steal some thunder from verizon and their onslaught of droids..
If sprint will market these hi-end androids against verizon and att showing that the plans are way better.. etc.. and do it right..maybe sprint can gain some some customers etc..
Take dan off the air.. bring back the pin drop guy from way back.. then promote the hell outta the plans and phones.. lol sure fire win in my book.. or just show some t & a holding the evo etc..lol
My fiance has the moment and I do kinda like theslide out keyboard, nice for the terminal apps and stuff. Also nice when you dont feel like swyping or typing on the virtual kb.

you are correct about sam and their hardware components. Far superior to htc. Is this sam going to run android? i guess i should take a look at that link.
I don't like samsung phones, but I do like power.
This phone has a 1ghz processor, but that doesn't say it all.
Supposedly this particular 1ghz HummingBird processor is 3 times more powerful than the snapdragons we drool over.
Crappy software...maybe...but AOSP on this thing? HOLY CRAP!

What other features?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Their whole point to introduce this device as a security featured phone that can be adopted in the corporate world. Hardware encryption, the use of Webex for secure meetings, Kies security for remote management.
Well face unlock is a really bad feature since it usually works with pictures too... If they fixed that, it is a great feature.
wow, thats crappy.... We will have to wait and see how it functions.
i'll say they should replace it with a Eye Retina Scan

A New Video With Galaxy Tab 10.1

It's the thin version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdu5PVjCGo0
thanks, that display does look good against the ipad 2
It also looks like stock honeycomb with no Samsung ui on top of it.
Sent this message from my Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 stock!
Seeing as this is the first time the thin 10.1 has been in public with a working OS, it is probably still an unpolished version. There were a few times when it didn't seem that responsive (could be with the way the person was using it) but hopefully, whatever quirks, laginess etc is in the device can be ironed out by the time it is released publicly.
Damn ... I want it now

It's not the viewing angles, it's the lights that were reflected on it. Not a problem for me, just other people I feel bad for.
One of the main reason's I'll buy this tablet is the screen.

What..? What do you mean "It's not the viewing angles.. it's the lights...", I know that lol. The reflection of the lights has to do with the glossy screen. I am very curious to know if this model of the tab is even using the PLS screen~
Honeycomb seemed very smooth here. In videos of the Xoom this wasn't always the case.
That looks awesome.
Its too bad someone can't go to properties and check out the processor.

I'm surprised this video hasn't made its way onto the popular tech sites. Many people kept claiming that "Samsung is lying.", that they probably couldn't even get the tablets this thin for real. And now here is the proof and there is only one small little thread for it over here at xda.

One week S2 is enough...

Hello,
after one week i am done with my S2.
This phone is fantastic. But I am going back to apple...Dont ask why, i realized that I am an iphone boy
(If someone is interested in S2, message me..)
Ahhh, is the SII a bit too complicated for you....
I'll trade my 16GB iPhone 4 for your Galaxy S II!
That's a shame. I have a jailbroken 32gb iP4 that I plan on getting rid of once my SG2 arrives (if it ever arrives).

i was thinking of doing same thing do to bad optimization regarding battery but i will still waiting for samsung and google to get a fix.
I made the switch from an iPhone 4 to the SGS2 and I'm never looking back. Not that the iPhone 4 is a bad phone, it is by no means. I simply like the customization of Android more and the SGS2 delivers great performance as well as flash in the browser.
The only thing I'd say I miss the more polished apps for the iPhone, not that all are but a few.
Still sticking with Android after 8 months on iOS. Will probably never go back to iOS either..
Also came from an iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxy S2 - very nice experience indeed and this is EASILY the smoothest and fastest implementation of Android so far. Only let down is apps and wifi so far but it beats it in every other way...
Which apps on iOS are you guys missing on Android?. Just curious.
Epic Fail.
I get mine next week Thursday.. can't wait lol
Are you a female? If so I can understand why, if not grow a pair.

Samsung seriously needs an english speaker: Update - Mr.Bean looking dude wasn't bad.

I love samsung to death because they deserve it bringing year after year, great products. But their speakers are freakin bad. JK Shin had a great speech, I agree but at a snails pace.... And the other chick needs some serious pronunciation lessons. WTF samsung hire some damn speakers. It seriously takes away from the product announcement.
apple will sue the hell outta them before launch. that design is a blatant ripoff of the iphone 6.
I don't even like the design tbh. I'll have to see it in person. This is because Samsung has given me the Note 4, what I consider to be the best looking phone to date.
ps - oh wow a new lady speaker that also needs help... she looks like some male warrior. cmon samsung cmon....

M9 is already a flop. Even comparing the Two announcemnts you can tell Samsung S6 is a much better phone. With the latest EMMC, best screen. Just wait till full review and these htc boys will wanna hide somewhere. The thing is HTC is BROKE... they can't really do RnD... why everything is a replay from last year mostly.
