1. Handling Application Incompatibilities

Text enlargement is not a normally supported feature in Android. Consequently, our text enlarger application may not be compatible with every application installed on an Android smartphone... or every Android smartphone. If, after installing and activating IDEAL Text Enlarger on your Android smart device you:

1. receive the following error message when trying to open an application; or,

2. notice an application behaving badly after turning on text enlargement;

It simply means that the application you are trying to launch (or using) is not compatible with IDEAL Text Enlarger^®. In such cases you may need to reboot your phone and then disable text enlargement for that application.  You can do so as follows:

1. Go to your Android home screen;

2. Press the menu button;

3. Select "Accessibility;"

4. Enable Accessibility (if not already enabled);

5. Enable "Text Enlarger" (if not already enabled);

6. Return to your home screen;

7. Open the text enlarger application;

8. Select "Per App Settings;"

9. Uncheck the checkbox in front of the application that proved to be incompatible with text enlarger.

From then on, text enlarger will not be used by the incompatible application and the problem should be resolved.

If you run into the situation of not being able to view the list of application displayed as a result of performing steps 8-9 above, it means that your Android smartphone is not compatible with IDEAL Text Enlarger^®. In this case you should uninstall the application.  To uninstall Text Enlarger, please do the following: Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Scroll down to "Text Enlarger" -> Tap on Text Enlarger -> Uninstall.
