I've got this new phone, while mine is being fixed.
and on my old phonr, if I double tap to zoom, it automatically would reallign the page so that what I was reading all for nearly in the screen.this one just makes it bigger, without moving stuff about so I have to keep scrolling left and right, as well as up and down. I don't like it.

Yes, that sounds irritating
I tend to use both fingers to expand the screen, and that usually works. Failing that, you could buy a magnifying glass. You can normally get a small set of them from somewhere like Poundstretchers or Mr Cheap.

Hahaha.
Magnifying glass for your phone? Nokia 3210 ftw. Didn't have that problem with them.

I remember being really jealous of people who had one of those.
Brilliant phone!

PROPER phone.
None of this multi media shash.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:12, Reply)

Exactly.
And you could bash the crap out of them and they'd still work.
And the battery would last for ages.
And everyone had a charger you could borrow if you were caught short in the battery department.

Too right.
Modern phone using cunts.

Why don't they standardise chargers? Some Apple products don't like other Apple chargers even though the plug fits??!!!!!

That's Apple for you.
I have a Mac and it was awesome for just about the length of time the warranty lasted. Now, it's slower than John Terry.

Other things?
No, you've lost me there.
I've no real need for a home computer apart from that.

Ha ha! I'd like to see that line in one of the commercials!
There are lots of things I like about Apple stuff - but the thing that gets me is the lack of legacy support - i.e. 'this is all new and we're not listening, so we don't care about your old software'. I've wanted to get the new OS for a while, but I know a bunch of my stuff won't work on it (and we're talking only 3 years here).

Hi TH, how are you?

(Jimbojames Wishing every day could be like today, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:22, Reply)

Unwell
But happy, thank you. Yourself?
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:24, Reply)

Okay thanks,
how about you though - you're unwell? Nothing serious I hope?
(Jimbojames Wishing every day could be like today, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:31, Reply)

I have diverticular disease, and I have 'attacks' every now and then
Mind you, this is only the second one I've had this year. Last year I had 6. So I'm doing quite well really.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:39, Reply)

That sounds pretty nasty.
Hope you get better soon.

Well that's very kind, thank you
I'll be fine in a few days. It never lasts more than a week.

Apparently Opera or something called Boat Browser might work
worth a go

I had this problem when I upgraded the Android OS on my phone
Switched to Opera Mobile for my browsing, got the text reshuffling back.

What browser is your phone using?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:13, Reply)

it just says browser, I've only had turned thing an hour.
Tried putting dolphin browser on, that I used with my old phone, and that does the same thing.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:16, Reply)

Try Opera Mini
I use it on mine, it uses much less data, and in the settings you can change to single column view, wrap text etc, also set to not download pictures etc.
For the default browser, there's this:

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:21, Reply)

Go into settings, there'll be a word wrap type thing.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Oct 2012, 14:24, Reply)

i looked for that,
nothing, theres choose zoom size and all sorts, but no wrap. Opera does, but for some reason wont let me living. Piece of crap.
