Thanks for the advice.

I'm getting my HTC Vision replaced in a few days, after an hour with some ghetto-ass customer service lady

While we're on the topic, does anyone care to explain to me what a "rassclot" and a "battymon" is? because after i was done with customer service, the lady called me a rassclot battymon.

I'm sure I can get T-Mo in hot water for this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtcom:
I think so too...

I little Googling turns up that these are Jamaican terms for F**k and F*gg*t

[Acer Iconia A500] smsboodoo:
Does anyone know of a way to do texting on the A500? Is there an app that will work? I tried to install Google voice, but for some reason it never installs.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrkrabs:
I just use the gogle voice website....sync sms is another app that wil do it tho...
[Acer Iconia A500] vj092887:
I use heywire from the market. It gives u ur own phone number too
[Acer Iconia A500] skyfox99:
just posted this. go to the market and get SyncSms. Well worth the price of 3 bucks and you just need a free drop b0x account and an android phone, which i had already anyhow.
[Acer Iconia A500] skyfox99:
also, google voice not on tablets yet officially i don't think
[Acer Iconia A500] smsboodoo:
I'm trying Heywire right now. Seems to work well. Thanks for the advice. I might try others, but really I'm hoping for Google Voice to be ported to the tablet. I also hope to use these tools outside of the US.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Easy sms installed and setup on your phone will sort this for u.

Doesnt seem to show up in hcomb market but will on phones market.

Worth a try i like it. Takes all contacts and texts of phone, even any contact plcs.

If u get a text on phone while on tab, refresh browser read and reply :)

Hope this helps...

SyncSMS is working very well between my OG Droid and the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] imonfire1358:
HeyWire works well for me. My son has textfree installed on his Ipod touch and HeyWire is much like that application. My only complaint is your allowable message length seems to be short and it doesn't seem to have the ability to just break up a longer message into 2 or more smaller parts to send.

There is a hacked version of Google voice available that works on tablets but it seems to be quirky at the moment and I had to tie it to my cell number. When I received a text I would get it on my cell then receive it on my tablet. Plus you had to manually refresh the app in order to see if you'd gotten a reply or not. Supposedly Google is working on a tablet specific version of voice. I'll just wait on that to be released before I install and try it again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SCWells72:
The Galaxy Tab email client looks very nice. It takes advantage of the landscape orientation of a tablet with a split folder/message view. I know that Kaiten and Touchdown have similar views, but the former doesn't support Exchange 2010 very well and I don't really like the UI on the latter.

It looks like folks have managed to get the Galaxy Tab email app going on several different Android tablets, e.g.:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] djlim4:
yes, i've been using it on my Fascinate before i got my nook and have been using it for my nook since i got it and flashed cm7.

I use it so i don't have to put a pin or password everytime i want to check my work email. (more like delete the work spam email)

Can't really comment on the UI or anything compared to other mail clients as I've never used any other, but to me it's basically the stock email app that my phone has without the added security features.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mooja:
use kaiten imo, its better. there was a thread that could get the galaxy tab on the nook, i tried it, and it wasnt all that great
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] onclebob:
I will try kaiten asap. I confirm that the galaxy tab email client is not so good on nook. I kept it five minutes..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SCWells72:
My understanding was that Kaiten and K9 didn't work well with Exchange 2010. Is that not the case? If it does, can you provide a pointer to something describing the level of support?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] toushiro:
I would like to share my problem with you, I own a P-500 I bought last week and much prefer to use go sms pro instead of the stock rom application, because it's just ugly. The reason that I don't want to root it is for the guaranty I don't want to lose.:p

The problem is that even I read my sms with Go sms pro, the notification of unread messages still appears on the lock screen. Does someone have any solution? I tried with many of launchers, the results is the same.:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
1st of all, rooting does not void your guaranty, only if they find out that the phone was rooted. If you root, Install original lg fw through LG update tool when you want to send your phone to guaranty & you should be fine.

I wrote already a post about notifications. You have to disable notifications in default messaging app before you install a 3rd party msg app. I have not tried it with go sms, I had the same problem with it. But that was when I disabled notifications in default msg app afteri installed go sms. Now i'm using handcent sms, disabled notifications in default msg app before i installed handcent sms. Everything is fine & nothing's duplicated. I hope this helps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] toushiro:
first of all thanks for the reply, I tried to make like you said but it didn't change at all notifications on lock screen continue to appear... do you know if root can make something for that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
Did you uninstall go sms before turning off norifications in default sms app? If not, try that. Uninstall Go sms, reactivate notifications in default sms app.. do a reboot, deactivate notifications in default sms app & install go sms again. Do a reboot. If that does not help, try the same with Handcent sms. I like it a lot better than go sms btw :) hm rooting shouldnt change anything, rooting just gives you full access to the phone, thats all.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
For many people, android 2.3 solves the problem with duplicate notifications on the lockscreen. But that does not solve the problem with duplicate notifications in the notification bar.. atleast not for me, I have tried android 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 & 2.3.3, custom & original roms. Now i'm on 2.2 Void.echo rom & have no problems with notifications.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
I have the same problem. Of course notifications on lock screen under big clock isn't same that notifications on status bar. I use 2.2 root stock rom. My solve this problem - uninstall stock sms app - go sms are fully functional without stock app, even mms - but notifications about sms on lock screen disappear.

Handcent sms don't have this issue.

I wrote to go sms devs, but no respond.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] toushiro:
Yeah I uninstalled and do all the stuff... before trying with Handcent, and it works but just with Handcent and no Go sms pro. That surely means that the problem comes from go sms, so for the moment I'll use Handcent waiting for the dev find a real way to solve the problem.

Thank to you two!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
I can't seem to make this work, unless I rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and back again.

Can anyone tell me how to make it work after pinch zooming?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickyhenry:
Doesnt seem to do it does it.... Very annoying. I like stock browser but looks like im moving to opera
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Nope, and I can't get it to do it on Dolphin HD either...

Very annoying!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
What about it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cCeT:
double tap to the screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
That zooms out, and reflows, but doesn't reflow to the size you make the text with pinch zoom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilix:
Haven't had mine come through yet so I've not been able to test this but in the Techradar review they say:

"One gripe we do have is the text reflow, as it doesn't do it automatically – you have to double tap the screen slowly to activate it when pinching to zoom in."

Hope that helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cCeT:
why dont you try first? zoom in and double tap to the screen.it reflows in same size.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Thanks both for your comments.

Unfortunately I can't make it work even despite cCeT's arrogant reply.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cCeT:
thanks for your stupid comment even though i tried to help you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
This was the arrogant comment. Of course I've tried first, why else would I be starting a thread on the issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cCeT:
thats you misunderstanding.

did you checked autofit pages box under the the browser settings before trying to do that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
What did you mean then?

I've tried the auto fit pages button, but it didn't seem to have any effect
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Confirmed, this does NOT work. Some oversight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samjpullen:
Like others have said, this does not reflow, it just zooms out to fit the text onto the screen...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
this is a huge deal.

what about if you just load a regular page, zoomed out completely. then double tap somewhere, it should zoom in. does it reflow after a double tap in that fashion?

99% of my usage is just double tap on a place, and browser reflows teh text. i dont care about pinch to zoom reflow necessarily. any luck with double tap method?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Double tao appears to reflow correctly, but unfortunately that's not much good for many scenarios where I would like larger text
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Yep, as above. The Nexus S had this issue too but got round it with the + and - in the lower right corner. Text would be off the edge after pinch to zoom but tapping either the + or the - reflow it while maintaining the text size previously set. No such luck here though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
Guys my SGS1 had been lost for almost a month, but as far as I remember the stock browser would not reflow on "pinch to zoom", would only reflow on "double-tap to zoom", and only on certain pages that had clear resizeable DIV/TABLEs (html language)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
Seems a bit rubbish. But, it's the only downside so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
It is indeed one of the down sides of the device so far but it's a very annoying one. Maybe it'll be resolved in a custom rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickyhenry:
It does work having 'auto fit web pages' in settings checked. It only does it once though unlike other phones were you can zoom in further and it automatically reflows. I guess i can live with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Its the same in the SGSI, its one of the few real annoyances I have with that phone. I'd be interested to try Firefox again with the SGSII, its a bit of a resource hog, and not the quickest, but those issues shouldn't be much of a factor here hopefully.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdalacu:
i think this future it's not implemented because resize would not be so smooth, reflow is a cpu intensive task ... it's a trick .

Htc - reflow + zoom = not so smooth

Samsung - only zoom = smooth .

They trade eye candy for productivity...lame.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
NZ - Have you not been able to find a rom for the sgs that gets around this as its surely not a hardware limitation? Hoping for something along these lines for the sgs2 otherwise it'll be a huge disappointment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
To be honest I haven't bothered looking for some time, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a ROM out there with these options...

EDIT: LOL, my current ROM (Darky's 9.5) does do it. I just decided to check and went into settings and set it to Auto-Fit Pages. Now it behaves as Phonearena described in their review - Pinch Zoom, then double tab, and it reflows text to the pinch-zoomed size on screen. Nice! To bad I discovered this only days before handing it off to the missus! Not quite as slick as the HTC implementation, but that doesn't bother me particularly. What I don't know is whether thats a Darky tweak/mod, or whether its a Samsung thing (in which case I would have thought it would also work as described for the SGSII). Probably also worth mentioning I have the UA set to desktop, and that may also have something to do with it. Perhaps the OP could try enabling auto-fit and then test it with desktop UA as well, if they didn't already?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
It's a Samsung thing, it works like this on my Galaxy Tab also ;)

It's not as good as HTC which reflows automatically but hey, the job is eventually done :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Poor, very poor!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
I am very disappointed this doesn't work, it's a potential deal breaker for me and I'm so upset I could return the phone if possible. This feature WORKS on the original Galaxy S which I still have but not on the S2, how stupid of Samsung to disable such a useful feature.

It was bad enough that one had to double tap the screen on the Galaxy S, but to remove the function completely is a disgraceful omission.

Edit: Just noticed it works when the screen is tilted to landscape mode and back to portrait.. will investigate further, perhaps there's a different way to do it on the S2.

Further Edit: I have raised a query with Samsung and gave the link to this thread

Your video is great but it just proves the point. It doesn't reflow on pinch to zoom. which is annoying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I mentioned 'auto-fit webpages' to an owner at Mobile-Review, he said its working for him with reflow on pinch-zooming (pinch zoom then double tap to reflow to the zoomed size).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
It doesn't work and I'm no Android/Galaxy noob, everyone on this thread can't be wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
What he said is correct. Do the pinch to zoom, then double-tap the screen, and the double-tap will reflow it.

This is just a softare setting.

Has anyone loaded Dolphin Browser HD to try it? Failing that, might be time to get apktool out, and get someone to email me browser.apk :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Man, you're quite rude. I'm not saying everyone is wrong, only that I have a report that it works in the same way that Phonearena report that it works in their review.

Instead of reading that I calling you a noob, which frankly makes me wonder how your self esteem is, and couldn't be further away from my intentions, you could take a second to think about it.

The thought that occurs to me is that it may not be working in handsets that were released with the earlier firmware (P4U ones mostly).

Anyways, I know a couple of others who I consider reliable (like the guy at Mobile Review), and I will ask them to check and report back their findings. I will have the phone myself in a couple of days and can also report my own findings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
That post was most unbecoming of me, apologies if I came across as rude, no offence intended.

I've tried Dolphin HD and boat browsers and it doesn't work on these either.

My phone details are

PDA: I9100XWKDD

Phone: I9100XXKDH

CSC: I9100XEUKD1

Please can you ask the guys from Mobile Review if it works on their phone to give the firmware details as well.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Apology accepted, thanks,

I'll get back to him on that.

One of the other reliable people I know with the handset says it doesn't work for him, and I've just asked him to check his firmware version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:
For those of you who don't have the phone and/or who doubt what we are doing, look at the video posted above.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzC2XP1Yw74

The text reflow works on a double tap.

If you pinch to zoom, then double tap, then the text size changes (to the size it would change to with a "double tap to zoom") and then it reflows. It does not reflow at the text size that you pinched to zoom to. Disappointing. This is on the standard browser and the Dolphin HD Browser.

As an aside, I alwasy thought the core rendering components of the Dolphin browser came from the default browser installed on your phone, and that it was just the options and menus etc that were different between the two browsers. So if it doesn't work in one, it won't work in the other, and vice versa. I may be wrong about this though!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
This was a known issue with all original Galaxy S phones (Froyo or later) that text reflow is not enabled by default.

(After each firware upgrade) On both my Vibrant and Fascinate you had to go into the settings to enable it.

Hopefully there's a flag to enable it somewhere, because even Techradar confirmed that you can double-tap to do it in their official review:

One gripe we do have is the text reflow, as it doesn't do it automatically – you have to double tap the screen slowly to activate it when pinching to zoom in (and we've already covered that weird two finger accelerometer trick).

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s2-930907/review?artc_pg=5

^ If you tried everything in the settings and it still doesn't work, then obviously Techradar was using a developer phone. If that's the case more than likely you will see that feature enabled in a future firmware upgrade. (In the meantime you might wanna write something in the comments over there, or contact them)

I honestly wish I could help more, but the GS2 hasn't launched in the US yet. I'm probably gonna pick it up and pin it against the Atrix... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
I've raised a query with Samsung and pointed them to this thread; indeed the review confirms it works and also if you use the workaround of tilting to landscape and back to portrait. So clearly the hardware supports it but it doesn't seem to have been implemented in the current crop of released handsets.

Anyone who's got this working on their phone should please post the firmware details.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkley:
I too was a bit bugged about this.

Coming from an HTC Deisre, I had go use to text reflow that occurs dynamically as you pinch-zoom. However, reading around I understand that this is an HTC Sense feature and not part of stock Android. So technically it's not a missing feature, just a feature that some of us would like to have.

Although I am getting used to the "stock" zoom reflow now, I would love it if we could get Sense-type zoom reflow on the S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdannyaitch:
Don't shoot me here, but as I don't have the phone yet I'm just wondering - would the new feature whereby you hold two fingers on the screen and move the phone away to shrink the image and towards you to zoom the image work? Or is that only pictures?

Tilt Zoom they call it I think? There's a section on the Engadget review which says (if I should delete this I will do with apologies to Engadget) "The other two motion controls are truly novel and, we suspect, will be quite neat party tricks for Galaxy S II users to show off. Tilt-zoom gives you a new way to zoom within the browser and picture gallery app, whereby you tilt the phone up to enlarge an image or down to shrink it. This is activated by placing two fingers on the screen simultaneously and comes with a sensitivity adjustment for users to tailor it to their whims. We don't know if we'd ever come to use tilt-zoom over the tried and tested pinch-to-zoom functionality -- which is naturally also present here -- but the Galaxy S II makes zooming of any kind a pleasure to behold. As already outlined above, this phone just executes zooms and animations exactly as they were meant to be done."

if that gets deleted the link is http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menthix:
The double-finger zoom works the same as pinch zooming. So yes you can use it on both webpages and images, but it doesn't make the test on a webpage reflow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebring5:
here is what the manual says

To zoom in or out, tap the screen with two fingers and spread them apart (move your fingers closer together to zoom out). You can also tap and hold two points with your fingers and then tilt the device back and forth.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menthix:
We know. The discussion was about whether any of the methods would make the text reflow in the browser (it doesn't).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebring5:
I do not understand text reflow based on what you are saying. If you want to go back to where you started before zooming you do the opposite of what you did to zoom: pinch in, double tap or tilt. Another option is to refresh.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebring5:
here are my software details

information removed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menthix:
Text reflow means you are able to zoom in but don't have to scroll horizontally to read a text. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JaLFKsLKKY&t=49.

Some people mentioned doubletapping in the browser, but that isn't text reflow. Doubletapping just zooms to an "optimal" level, while text reflow restructures the text to make it readable regardless which zoom level you're at.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebring5:
I see what you are talking about now. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
I don't have the SGS2 yet, but basing from the SGS1:

double tap zoom - text will reflow.

pinch to zoom - text will not reflow.

pinch to zoom, then when at desired zoom level, double tap - text will reflow to the current zoom level

If it doesn't work, oh well, it's worth a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesking420:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dickie2007:
I just got this working on mine!!! text reflow at any zoom level!!

all i did was go into browser settings and select Auto-fit pages!!

After RESTARTING the browser, i can pinch-to-zoom and double tap the text to make it reflow!!

(i closed the browser and killed it with the built in task manager! - seems this may not actually be neccessary)

Anyone else??

Dickie

EDIT: oh, and once reflowed, you can pinch-to-zoom out and with each zoom it will auto-reflow! Also, double tapping a section of text takes you right into it and auto reflows it!!
