My screen has gone two very very large icons.they seem magnified. Its not going back to normal font.how to go back to normal font.

Hi Maureen,

Depends on what phone you have...

FOR apple:

Here's how to enlarge text size throughout iOS on iPhone and iPad:

1. Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on General.
3. Scroll down and now tap on Accessibility.
4. Now tap on the Large Text option.
5. Here you have several options to make text larger throughout iOS. Tap on the one you'd like.

On Android:

• Tap the app drawer icon from the home screen.
• From the displayed list, tap the Settings icon.
• From the Settings window, in the left pane, tap the Display option.
• From the right pane, under the Font section, tap the Font size option.
• On the opened Font size window, tap to select the appropriate radio button to set the desired font size.

iOS Home screen icons are magnified or large
Try this. Your magnify option is probably on.

put your tree fingers together & tap the digitizer 3times very fast an gonna back to normal :}} very funny i know .
or push the home buton 3 time fast

You can right click on a empty space on the desktop then click properties. When the Desktop Properties window opens click the Appearance tab. Go down to the font size and you can change it to normal, large or extra large. Normal is what it should be.

You can also get there by going into the Control Panel and changing the Font size on the display. Click Start/Control Panel and look for Display or Appearance and Personalization. Open the display, click the Appearance tab and change the Font Size.

If that don't do what you are looking for you can click the Settings tab on the display to change the Screen Resolution. The higher the resolution, the smaller the icons and therefore the more you will get on the screen.

I'm aware of two approaches to try to workaround the lack of a font size setting under the menu settings.
1) If you you have updated your device to (or if it already came with) Froyo (Android 2.2) or you flashed one of the Gingerbread (Android 2.3) leaked ROMs, go to 'Menu > Settings > Accessibility', and tick both 'Accessibility' (this one you can leave ticked for good) and 'Zoom mode' (for this one you'll get a confirmation popup screen). A magnifying square will appear. Untick this setting to remove it. Whilst active, you can move it around by tapping, holding and dragging any of the 4 stripes on its edges. You can also set the magnification level, by tapping on either '-' or '+' signs. If you don't want to keep activating and deactivating it whenever you need it, you can leave it partially hidden, by dragging it to one of the screen's corners, the one which would bother you less.
2) Install 'Any Cut', by Jeff Hamilton, from the Android Market. Then, tap and hold any empty area on any of your home screens, and select 'Shortcuts > Any Cut > Activity'. Wait for the list to be updated, scroll down, tap 'Display' (attention: NOT 'Display settings') anf 'OK'. Tap that newly created shortcut. Tap the arrow below 'Font' and select 'Large', and 'OK'. Unfortunately, this trick doesn't seem to work on the latest 4.5.3-66 Gingerbread build.
Hope you are able to sort your problems out soon.

Anyway, please, let me know if I can help you any further.

Hi,

Please follow this steps to set back the font size or icons of your Iphone.

* Tap the "Settings" menu from the iPhone home screen.

* Tap "Accessibility."

*Tap the word "Off" next to "Zoom" to turn the Zoom feature on.

*Return to the iPhone home screen.

Tap the iPhone with three fingers twice in succession. The home screen icons will be magnified to 200 percent. To adjust the zoom level, touch the screen with three fingers then move them up to increase the zoom, and down to lower it. The next time you tap the screen twice with three fingers, the iPhone will automatically return to your custom zoom level.


Thank you for visiting FixYa...

First of all try this: Tap the iPhone with three fingers twice in succession. The home screen icons will be magnified to 200 percent. To adjust the zoom level, touch the screen with three fingers then move them up to increase the zoom, and down to lower it. The next time you tap the screen twice with three fingers, the iPhone will automatically return to your custom zoom level.
If it doesn't help, follow the steps below and repeat the above (step 5.)

1. Tap the "Settings" menu from the iPhone home screen.
2. Tap "Accessibility."
3. Tap the word "Off" next to "Zoom" to turn the Zoom feature on.
4. Return to the iPhone home screen.
5. Tap the iPhone with three fingers twice in succession. The home screen icons will be magnified to 200 percent. To adjust the zoom level, touch the screen with three fingers then move them up to increase the zoom, and down to lower it. The next time you tap the screen twice with three fingers, the iPhone will automatically return to your custom zoom level.

Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

If you can not get to settings etc as icons too large, use three fingers and double tap the screen this will then reduce the icons to normal. Then go into Zoom as previous post and turn to off. The exact same thing just happened to my Iphone and I range Apple and this is what they told me to do. Hope you get it sorted.

Easy, take three fingers and double tap your screen. Now that your phone is back to normal, change your settings so that this doesn't happen again. Go to settings, click on general, click on Accessibility, click on Zoom, then turn it off. Now, this wont ever happen again.
