Green_carnation Clutched January 12, 2010 Share January 12, 2010 Got my iPhone for 3 mths now.. dis morning woke up to find out that the whole home page was magnified.. and the screen only show the top right quarter of the usual page.. tried using finger to slide down n left.. but it just wouldnt move!! Tap on one of the apps also showing magnified and top right hand quarter!! Tried power off and on.. also couldnt rectify.. But when use finger slide hard the page was able to move to the direction I wanted it to.. Once let go it's back to the same. I slided and pushed hard in attempt to go to the Settings.. and managed to select Rest All.. After that the screen was back to normal again.. Anyone ever encountered such? Wondering what went wrong.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstborn Neutral Newbie January 12, 2010 Share January 12, 2010 If yours is the iPhone 3GS, you have activated the zoom function. Tap with 3 fingers together it will zoom and un-zoom the home page. To disable zoom, go to Settings --> General --> Accessibility -->Zoom (off it) Hope the above is helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bro.. understand what u meant.. but didnt seem to be the zoom problem.. Usually the page with all the apps cannot be zoomed right? My problem was that it was zoomed to 4 times bigger.. and got hanged at the top right hand quarter of the page with the apps.. meaning only saw some apps which are the ones at the top right hand quarter.. I did try to tap to reduce.. also pinch to reduce.. didnt work.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive_carcar Clutched January 12, 2010 Share January 12, 2010 Somehow Zoom was turned on. You'll need to get back to Settings -> General -> Accessibility- Zoom to turn off. To get there, you need to figure out how to navigate while Zoom is turned on: To zoom : Double-tap with 3 fingers To move around the screen: Drag 3 finers while zoomed To change zoom: Double tap and drag 3 fingers up or down Dun ask me why 3 fingers and not 1 middle finger... hehehe!

Weizhen77 Neutral Newbie January 12, 2010 Share January 12, 2010 Probably a software glitch... Tried hardware reset? 1. With iPhone screen facing you 2. Press Top right button together with the Home button until the screen blank out 3. Wait until you see the Apple logo then release all the buttons 4. Wait for the phone to boot up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
