HTC Incredible :: Droid Incredible Browser Not Scaling Images
Aug 21, 2010
I'm playing with a Droid Incredible my wife got from her company because I'm thinking of buying one.I do photography and I have a website.The images aren't huge maybe 600 x 800 pixels but that's bigger than the screen resolution of the Incredible so I can't view them on the built-in browser without panning around.A normal PC browser is smart enough to shrink the image to fit the browser window.Also, my wife's iPhone handles this with no problem. How do I get the browser on the Droid Incredible to do that?

I'm designing an HTML page for display in Android browsers. Consider this simple example page:
<html>
<head><title>Simple!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><img src="http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png"></p>
</body>
</html>
It looks just fine on the standard HVGA phones (320x480), but on HDPI WVGA sizes (480x800 or 480x854) the built-in browser automatically scales the image up; it looks ugly.
I've read that I should be able to use this tag to force the browser to stop scaling my page:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />
... but all that does is disable user scaling (the zoom buttons disappear); it doesn't actually prevent the browser from scaling my image. Adjusting the scale factors (setting them all to 2.0 or 0.5) has no effect at all.
How can I force the WVGA browser to stop scaling my images?

I developed a game with the g1 in my mind. Now I want to support large screen sizes but I don't want to add in the apk different images for different screen sizes because now the apk is 3mb and when installed thought market it became 6mb (due to protection on). If I have to double the images to support new screens, the apk would be too heavy (about 13mb, I think) so I'm wondering to know if scaling images at runtime by myself (without compatibility mode) maybe the best way for supporting larger screens. Compatibility mode does a great work in scaling images but it slows down drastically the frame rate (I think because the scale operation is made every time an image is used/moved and not only once on the load of the image itself).

This folder includes screen shots that are used for Internet Browser bookmarks. It also includes screen shots of web pages that I did not choose to bookmark. When I clear cache while in "Internet" in "Manage Applications" it does not remove these jpg files that are not being used for bookmarks. When I clear everything while in Internet app (in settings) it does not remove these jpg files either. It also does not remove them from within the HistoryEraser app. The only way I can remove the jpg files is with Astro or when connected to PC. I have to go through them and erase jpgs that I do not want there.
There were 72 jpg files in that directory and they go all the way back to when I got phone (on 4/29). I have only added 5 bookmarks myself during that time. They do not take up a lot of space but I just don't want them there.

I've had this problem since I bought my Droid Inc over a month ago but I haven't posted about it until now.Whenever I type a new URL into the stock browser, if I press any letter, a list of sites pop up that aren't my favorites. Some of these sites are Asian, and I know that others are known spyware sites.What the hell is this stuff? I've never been to any of these sites on my phone, and these aren't my favorites.I noticed this happening the day I bought my Droid Inc and before I installed any third-party apps. Could Google be behind this? Doubleclick is one of the sites that pops up on this thing too.

My friend doesn't want the browser to keep any history. He's tired of clearing it!. I think he may use this phone for pron sometimes and when the GF reaches for the phone in the morning to check the weather, fooking autocomplete gives him away. Then he has to deal with being in the doghouse until next morning when she sees it again.

One of the things I really like about the Incredible's browser is the fact that when you zoom in on text, it will reformat it so that you don't have to scroll from side to side to read everything, it makes it all in one column and does a very good job. Does the X's browser do this as well?

As it may be a little while before Froyo is available for the Incredible I wonder if it might be possible to port Froyo's browser with flash support to Android 2.1. Ah the things you dream up when stuck at work doing data entry all day.

When I connected my Yahoo email account I noticed that it no longer hides e-mail images and asks me if I want to show them. I liked that feature because if it's spam I do not want them to determine that it is an active e-mail address.

I'm making an alternative camera App. As you might expect my App involves taking pictures and saving them to the sdcard. On most phones (and the Emulator) everything works fine, pictures appear in the built-in Gallery App straight away. However on the HTC incredible images only appear when the user restarts the device. (I'm talking about an HTC Incredible phone with an sdcard, I know some of them shipped with internal storage only, but this is not the issue I'm talking about) The code I'm currently trying goes like this: I've also tried MediaScannerConnection.scanFIle() with no luck. I wonder is the problem is due to the HTC incredible being originally designed to operate with internal storage only, maybe the Gallery App has issues with media stored on the sdcard.

I have 1500 pictures inside many sub folders in Picasa. I want to sync them to my phone (as reduced resolution). I was hoping the do this through Picasa web albums but you can't snyc sub folders. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to have access to these iamges on my phone? I could use a PC snyc tool if necessary. But it would be nice to have an automated solution that would "watch" a certain folder and its subfolders.

I took this through my telescope with the Incredible's camera. One of the good things about the tiny cameras in phones is that they can see through the eyepiece of my telescope. Don't expect to try this and get it perfect the first time. The Saturn picture took about 30 tries and lots of fiddling with the settings to get just right

I am on Virtuous 2.6 ROM and noticed a curious thing going on with my contact images. I have used Handcent since day one with my Incredible and about a week ago the contact images stopped showing for my most often used texting contacts. I have found that new contacts that text me, or some that havent texted much have images showing, but my family (most used) don't. I have tried everything I can think of. I don't think it is the ROM, I have uninstalled Handcent, deleted cache, reinstalled, deleted all conversations, and even tried Chomp....same results.

Trying to set myself up with a nice wallpaper, so I went to interfacelift.com, found an image w/ 800x480 resolution (this is correct for the Dinc, right?), and once i bring up the image in my browser, I long tap, click save image, and then it just says download unsuccessful, and nothing else. I also tried finding an option for "set as wallpaper" but couldn't find anything.

I wasn't able to find my question in the forums so here goes:
Every time I go to download my photos from my phone (both SD card and internal), I end up downloading thumbnails and images from websites I've visited as well as people's avatars from foursquare. I end up having to delete hundreds of images every time I want to download my pix.
Any idea how to disable the downloading of the web stuff? (Can the phone differentiate web image from photos I've taken from the camera?) I've tried from both the phone side and the computer side and I can't figure it out. Also, is there any way to get my phone to stop storing these web images? I don't think I need them, do I? (I'm a newbie smartphone owner if you couldn't tell!)

I noticed that I suddenly lost thumbnails of images that showed the previous day in the stock photo apps and also the Gallery app. They show up and open using Astro, but appear to no longer be seen by the indexes of photo and Gallery (but open fine using those apps via Astro). I tried B&B as well and same thing. They all must use the same index source.
I like the stock photo app the best, since it shows pics and movies for both internal and external memory. Never had this problem before. I tried SDrescan, but it just says "scanning" and even after two hours, never stops scanning. I have tried clearing cache, etc., but still they do not show, even when I created a new directory to put them in.

Since 2.2 I have been unable to download anything and only get an error message after it takes you to the download screen. This is happening on the stock browser as well as skyfire. Am I missing something? This worked fine in 2.1.

After surfing for a while, the browser occasionally has some issues.For example,I'll tap on a button on a form, and nothing will happen.Or I'll do a search, tap go, and no search happens.Powering the Incredible off and on fixes these issues.Is there a faster way?After having the phone for several days longer, I can say that this hasn't happened in days. Not sure what the issue was initially, but lately browsing has been rock solid.

What browser is your favorite web browser and why?
Or do you use more than one browser depending on what you're surfing for?
I am personally using the stock browser, but have been thinking of switching and would love to hear your opinions.

There are a couple popular choices out there but which do you have set as your default web browser?
I have all these installed but currently have stock "Internet" as my default.
UPDATE: a few write-in votes have been cast for "xscope"

I'm looking for people's opinions on which browser they think is best for 2.2 and why.I've searched and mostly came up with older threads talking about browsers that let you view flash sites, obviously before FROYO.I've experienced a problem on a couple different sites, using the stock browser, where the webpage continuously reloads,so when I zoom in to read something,5 seconds later,the page reloads and it zooms back out.I've tried stopping the page and 5 seconds later,it still reloads. Very annoying, so I was going to try another browser and see what happens.Any thoughts or comments please?

I just got froyo and noticed when I kill the browser with my task killer it no longer defaults back to the home page when I open it again. Also, the history does not clear. It shows it as cleared, but since I can reopen the browser and scroll back to where I have been browsing it is not deleted.Bug, or something with my phone?Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this because a friend of mine said he was not.

Is the any way to adjust the stock browser to open more than 4 windows at once? If not, will rooting give us that ability?
