Help! Iphone 3gs Stuck on Zoom

[MGT]

My phone crashed mid-app, restored to the unlock screen, only it was zoomed in to the point that 25% of the unlock screen was visible. It is now stuck that way and is not responsive to any zoom commands. I've tried powering off and syncing to my computer--all to no effect. Any suggestions?

Settings, General, Accessibility, Zoom - set it to "off"



(At least I think that will solve your problem.)

Bless you kind sir.

I give you all of my internets for the evening. +1. Put it in your boomstick.

Glad I could help.

I actually like having that setting on!!! You use three fingers to double tap>>slide up/down to zoom in and out. It works great for websites that have somehow diabled the zoom normally

Congratulations on saving yet another iphone from the bin!

As a newbie to apple interfaces I find this kind of interface great.. Once you know about it!
Is there a list anywhere of all these finger tapping combos?
I for example assumed that the only way to zoom was by double tapping the screen and was getting increasing frustrated at the number of websites where this didn?t seem to work.

you can also just take 3 fingers and double tap your screen.

reset your phone by holding lock button and home until it resets.
