I just got my HTC 8X yesterday and I must say that Neowin is virtually unreadable on this phone, the fonts are too small to read comfortably, other mobile sites look just fine, can the developers look into improving the site for this phone's resolution?

The phone display has a resolution of 1280 x 720 at 341 ppi, anyone with this phone experiencing this?

Its out of our hands, ms has us on a stupid compatibility list. Seems to be a bug too where it simply ignores our meta tag, (works fine in 7.5/7.8) where we force rendering mode. We've requested to be taken off of it, but nothing yet it looks like.

I too have the HTC 8X (since today) :D and zooming works perfectly on main page/articles and forums. I almost posted this via the HTC 8X but saw I can't attach screenshots.

Here's a pic with a lot of zoom-in on an article that has just gone up.

Note:

I have upgraded to the latest WP8 version (8.0.10211.204) only a few days old?

I have Do not Track disabled

Using stock IE10 on WP8 (no other settings change)

Worked logged in and out.

I have decided to just use the phone horizontally for now while browsing Neowin, the best solution for me so far, hopefully this can be corrected in the near future :)

HTC8X here, no problems. I have noticed text is way out of proportions on other sites, but neowin is fine for me.

I HATE that there aren't arrows for when you're typing. Touching the place you want to put the cursor at merely highlights the adjacent word....

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
