Thanks andrawer. For #1, I don't want everything big. Just certain web pages.

For #2. I overlooked this setting. Unfortunately it (and even #1) affects some fonts but not others. It produces a strange mix of multiple sized fonts. Hrmph.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Personally I like the smaller font and larger layout space as it lets me see the original spacing better.

I understand your point though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] openwheelracing:
It's as simple as changing font size.....no?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
In theory, yes.

In reality, no.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Just depends on how sites are built. Some sites force a set font size which will look small on high res, other sites scale... Or have a dedicated mobile site, which is preferred.

Mobile sites shouldnt mean sized for a phone, but just touch oriented and better organized for the smaller res.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
Right, I hear you. The problem I that not all sites are well designed. And for those sites a high Res screen is actually worst.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Poke_N_PDA:
funny thing is that xda is one of those "not well designed" sites. I get all sorts of mixes in font size, and that's just between different posts.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Macmee:
Xda is a very popular mobile device website.

DOES NOT HAVE A MOBILE THEME.

Thats a chrome for android issue actually. The stock android browser does not do this. You can actually install it without root now.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] RojasTKD:
I have no issues reading web sites and LOVE the high resolution of the New Nexus 7. You could double tap to zoom in many cases if you wanted it bigger or use setting to increase fonts size is you desired.

Maybe, but in the case of the Nexus 7 2013 I sure believe it is, and I don't think I'm alone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
I've already addressed why neither of those solve the problem.

If you're finding it to work well for you that's great. A lot of other people are too. But for me this is a deal breaker. I need to be able to comfortably view web sites that are important to me, and the 2012 does this just fine. For me the new model is a step backward in this regard.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] unremarked:
Chrome see,s to handle the high resolutions poorly(first noticed on my Droid DNA). For example, if you look at Drudge Report on a 1080p+ mobile device, it looks all wonky on the left side. If you look at it using the AOSP Browser, my favorite, it looks just fine.

OP, have you tried an alternate browser?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
I've tried dophin, next, Firefox, boat, and uc browsers. None get it right.

I'm game to try aosp bit its warning me that the developers do not support 4.3 and I am proceedings at my own risk. Hmmm
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mmikeee:
I really like the UC browser for tablets (HD version) but doesn't it feel laggy for you sometimes? Especially when I try to sign in. Whatever I type takes forever to show up so I ended up switching to Next browser for now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] conan1600:
Bottom left change to xda 2013 beta 1024. Problem small font on Xda solved. Both aosp and chrome
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Poke_N_PDA:
My guess is we can blame tap talk for that. I think they influence forums to not develop mobile sites so more people will buy their app. Just a guess.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Claribelsmith:
... and the tab is being marketed with the same lag as a benefit to be upgraded with for its previous users ..

I find tapa harder to navigate, I find it very hard to find the N7 forum with it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] unremarked:
Just a precaution on the devs part.

The AOSP Browser runs fine on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4 running a GE ROM. I also used that browser on a Galaxy Note and HTC One to no negative effects.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
I'm now playing with a 2012 nexus 7 that has been upgraded to 4.3 and the word wrap in chrome is now the same on both devices. So it's not the resolution that is making the difference but the chrome version. Arg.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MrPhilo:
Be a bit more flexible and check chrome setting.

Chrome Setting > Accessibility > Text Scaling - Adjust it to your liking.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xateeq:
New device needs new settings and adjustments.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
As I wrote earlier in the thread, that creates more problems than it solves.

I ended up getting boat browser and asop browser to work. Will follow up later.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] e.mote:
The issue here is more about web sites' mobile support than about resolution per se. Mobile browsers add to the problem with their stripped-down configuration, that doesn't offer such granularity such as site-specific settings. As with OP, I find all existing browsers have differing rendering issues, depending on the web site. Hopefully it'll get better as Android matures.

One issue where a lower (720p) res is better than N7's 1080p is screencasting, aka Miracast. With all the hype that the $35 Chromecast widget had generated, I'm surprised that interest in Miracast has been minimal. It's not the cost, as a Miracast receiver (sink) for the TV is $50-60.

A likely reason is because Miracast right now suffers from "beta-ness," and per C't, interoperability is low. The few reports of Mira on Nexus(es) have been about trying to get it to work.

Anyway, when people DO get it to work, encoding and streaming 1080p in real-time will be more taxing than 720p, both on the SoC and wifi bandwidth. Generally speaking, a decent home wifi can handle 720p, but not 1080p. Latency will be higher, and will vex interactive use (as opposed to passive video viewing). We need better wifi, and it's too bad 802.11ac isn't present in N7.

That's where I think we're headed, less marketing obsession with tablet specs, and more toward its uses--one of which will be getting content from tablet to larger screens via wireless.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] z0phi3l:
What's really sad is the OP has been given tons of great advice as to how to "fix" this non issue, yet he won't listen and seems more interseted in complaining
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
Actually, yes it does. Chrome just sucks, flash the AOSP browser.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
I like how you criticize, yet at the same time demonstrate that you don't even understand what problem exists, let alone why the supposedly great advice didn't address it. Impressive.

Like i said above, I'll follow up tomorrow with more details on what worked and what didn't. I'm out now and can't do a writeup w pics.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lopri:
I have a noob question. Why does AOSP browser has to be flashed? I mean, it's just a browser.. can't it be simply "installed?" (.apk, of course)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PresidentMcCain:
Because some people want to take advantage of the multi-user feature and have the AOSP browser shared across all users.

Otherwise, you can just install it, without root or flashing anything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] foosion:
Just to be clear, are you saying text is appearing smaller on the new Nexus 7 due to 4.3 and Chrome, rather than the higher resolution on the new Nexus 7? In other words, if you have 4.3 and Chrome on both Nexus versions, text size is the same size on both?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Jayrod1980:
What's awesome is how buttery smooth browser scrolling is on this even down clocked. My n4 with lower resolution is not as smooth as this. There's really something to this s600 thing. I see nothing wrong with having a higher resolution.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
Yes, that's my hypothesis, althought I'm not 100% sure what the difference was. All I know was that last week I took the picture above using chrome on the in-store N7v1. Later I bought a N7v1, it immediately installed android 4.3, and now the fonts in chrome are exactly the same on both devices. So it was either chrome, or something about 4.3 that made the difference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
Yes, if all you're doing with the device is forum and web surfing (which is mostly what I use it for) the biggest differences between the v1 and v2 is the smoothness of the scrolling. The v1 isn't that bad though. The v2 is also faster in general. For the simple cases the speed of the v1 is quire reasonable, but it does seem to occasionally pause / hang more than the v2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] odobo:
funny reason of why OPS think technology should not advance

so instead of sending emails to those websites and tell them to step up and up their website's resolution... the ops blame the technology and claim it shouldnt improve because some of the products that use by it isnt advancing along with the rest of the industry.

Ops make it sound like a chicken or egg problem.... instead of just some website's problem.

funny.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
The point was that if device A works on all web sites, and device B requires you to email web sites and ask them to upgrade, then in some scenarios device A > device B. How is that funny?

However, this whole discussion is now moot given that with the 4.3 update web sites seem to be rendered the same on both devices.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
Here are some screen shots to show why increasing the text size via Chrome's Accessability option is a crappy solution.

Problem 1) Inconsistent font sizing. Even when "Force enable zoom" is selected, not all text is affected. The result is strange combination of different font sizes

Problem 2) Increasing font size has bizarre effects for certain web sites using things like frames and tables. For example 1) Poor table spacing creating unnecessary wrapping, or 2) Text that no longer fits in the box it's suppsed to

Problem 3) It increases the font size for ALL sites, and in all orientations. Raise it enough to make one site look good, and another site will have ridiculously huge fonts

Solution

Use Boat browser and select Labs > Text wrapping settings > Test Wrapping > ON. AOSP browser also has a similar setting.

Boat Attempt #1: Partial fail Boat wraps the text within each column to the width of the screen, so you often still can't see everything on the screen at once. You can see the text going off right edge of screen even with wrap on.

Boat Attempt #2 success for this site! Change a forum setting to put everything in in one column. I can now zoom to any text size I want. The font increases and wraps appropriately. Yay.

I've edited the first post to clarify that this really isn't an issue with the hardware resolution since after 4.3 both the 2012 and 2013 have the same size fonts.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Jayrod1980:
The display on the first was much worse. Reading on that was not fun. Given the small screen size relatively, the higher PPI on the second really makes a difference to me when reading small text. Not only is everything richer with this more contrasty/higher resolution screen, but I no longer get fatigued reading email text on this sized screen DPI.

I honestly bought the nexus 10 to get a sharper and more readable screen despite the ergonomics of the original 7 being far superior. With this second version I feel they pretty much solved everything I hated about the first one. I'm going to end up selling my pristine 10 this week.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rumatt:
No question about it. If you read with small fonts you want the new one. If you always zoom then the benefits of the 2013 are more subtle.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Hnk1:
The easiest way to do this is by closing TB and then go in your file explorer (i use ES file explorer) and rename TB folder. I usually add an S in the end and when i copy them back, i remove the S. The reason is that TB backup files are being used by app in tablet rather than USB storage. Thus they can not be read.

Also you can freeze TB from Settings.

Then connect your tab via usb and copy it.

I hope that is easier !

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Mockingbird946:
Has anyone found a way to remove the red "This build is for development purposes only..." message that pops up at the bottom of the HBOOT splash screen? I am revone S-OFF and have successfully flashed custom splash screens. Now, I just want that annoying red warning message to go away.

PLEASE forgive me if this was already posted. I did search via xda and Google, but found no answer. The closest I found was a method in the unbranded One section, but I don't just go and flash crap from other device threads. If the above-mentioned question has already been covered, please direct me to the appropriate thread, and better yet, suggest a way that I can make better use of the search function.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SantinoInc:
If you go to the themes part if this forum look for SPLASH SCREEN THREAD. They have a stock splash screen w/o that annoying warning. You will have to use adb if my memory serves me correctly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Mockingbird946:
That was the thread a used to learn how to flash splash screens. I flashed a custom one of a pinup girl with the htc logo, and the warning still pops up over her. The only time I deviated from the instructions was I went into bootloader/fastboot by using power+volume down, instead of adb reboot bootloader... I doubt that makes any difference, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timelog:
Hi guys,

I think I have a new Xperia Z situation to report:

After getting water into the USB port and spending a few days drying out the phone, I now get symptoms cannot find in any other XDA thread:

- When I hold volume button UP while connecting the USB port, it quickly flashes RED and then stays BLUE, also after releasing the volume button. When I disconnect the cable the LED light goes off again

- When I just connect the USB without holding any button, the LED goes RED.

- While the LED is RED, I can hold the power + volume UP buttons simultaneously and then release the power button to change to BLUE.

But regardless what I do there are no life signs in Flashtool :eek:

Other symptoms:

In the cradle, the LED has gone from RED to ORANGE to GREEN, indicating full charge. But when connecting the charger directly to the USB port it just flashes 1x RED and 1x GREEN sub-second before it goes off. So it seems it doesn't charge through the USB port but only through the cradle.

The phone is turned off and does not react to the power button. Have pressed power, and power + volume up button, but without the usual vibration responsiveness.

I have tried to connect to the phone using Flashtool. Following tips from other threads I've tried both latest version & Beta 4, Multiple USB ports, etc.

But the phone never gets identified through the USB port.

The phone should be 100% dry now after multi-day rice bag + cold air hair dryer treatments. But I'm afraid I might have I tried to force it back on too early, perhaps before all water was out...

Still with the LED indicator showing a little sign of life, would you say there's a chance to rescue it?

All ideas and advice much appreciated.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mackay53:
The water might of caused a short circuit somewhere in the phone which has caused the bugs so drying it might not repair the damage, how long has the phone been dry for? Hopefully some1 has had the same issues and solved it somehow.
