How to change the font size of Samsung Galaxy S II

Please follow the following steps if you want to change the font type of SGS2. This will affect globally to the phone.

1)      Tap settings

2)      Tap Display

3)      Click on Screen Display

4)      Click on Font Style

5)      Then select the font type you want.

As default, SGS2 will have three type of fonts; Default font, Choco cooky and Helvetica S.

If you click on Get fonts online, you will be taken to the market and you can download apps to change the fonts.

I have downloaded Fontomizer SP which is really a good app. You can download some font types which give small font sizes. As SGS2 does not have the option to change the font size globally, this is one of the ways you can reduce your font size in Galaxy S2. 

At least, I wish I could reduce the font size of contract in Samsung Galaxy S2. I don’t see any app in the market to do this. The default contact font size is too big and because of this only 6 contact can be seen on the screen. I think 4.3” will easily show 10-12 contacts if the font size can be redueced. 

Setting up Gmail on MOXIER MAIL client

I just installed MOXIER MAIL and tried to set up Gmail on Moxier mail. Moxier Mail is mainly for ActiveSync and will not work properly for Gmail as Gmail is not 100% compatible with ActiveSync protocol.

First MOXIER Mail ask for the email address and the password.

Enter the email as youremailid@gmail.com and the password. After couple of seconds you will get the following message.

After I spent some times on the internet I found that m.google.com has to be entered under Server. There is no need to entre a domain.

I tried this and it worked for me.
