I just came across this "bug" as described here:
Unable to resize the magnification window
The magnification tool was useful. Now the size of the magnification window is no longer adjustable. You can't even stretch it to the width of the phone screen. Can a supervisor please look before approving these changes? Cover image...
us.community.samsung.com
"the magnifier widget is only full screen in HD+ and FHD+ screen resolutions. It will not work full screen in WQHD+ resolution."
Is there anyone else that can reproduce this? And in fact, it's really only fullscreen in HD+ resolution.
Testing it on my S21 Ultra, it works fine by default in fullscreen with all screen resolutions.
I just tested it and it does not full screen on WQHD+

Thanks, and to clarify, can you confirm it's more like half the screen only? Although it's centered in middle of screen.
This surely is a significant bug, and it's surprising no one has reported it aside from that above post.

It's scaled as if it zoomed out.

Yes, it gets to almost fullscreen with FHD+, but it only gets proper fullscreen with HD+ resolution. Quite bizarre.
Unfortunately not fixed with the April update. Quite bizarre how few reports of this there are (I've only seen one actually). There are even some YouTube videos showing this Magnifier widget and the issue is there, but the reviewer doesn't even mention the issue.
Update regarding this - finally with the June update, this is fixed. Amazing how essentially zero reports on this from English sites/forums etc.

Hi guys -
I just upgraded from the Cappy to the Galaxy S2 on AT&T. The phone looks and feels great, but I noticed the colors on the screen are not realistic in some apps. The wallpaper on the homescreen & lock screen looks amazing, but the pictures I take with the camera, and the colors in some of the game apps (i.e. Hanging with Friends) look very different. The colors are over-saturated and dark. I've never had this issue on the Cappy, and was wondering if anyone else had similar problems? I searched online and found the international version has a display mode option setting, which is non-existent on the i777. I tried using the Screen Adjuster app, but it didn't help an awful lot.
Took a screen capture with the phone, but the colors look normal there. Would need to borrow another phone or camera to take a picture...and then will post pics as a side by side comparison on what the screen captures.
Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it?

I assume you are running a stock ROM - if so, I believe Samsung defaults the screen mode to "dynamic" and got rid of the option to select other modes (normal and movie) in their ROMs. Most (possibly all) of the custom ROMs on this forum add that selection option back. menu>display>screen mode.

Thanks for the quick response! Yea, I'm still on stock ROM...was thinking of rooting and flashing to a custom one soon. Will report back results of the display after. Thanks again!
Hi guys, I am having a problem with my Galaxy S9 Plus. When I open a PDF in Night mode, while scrolling there is some deformation on the screen - in the video (link shared below), there is a grey frame which deforms and 'shrinks' while scrolling up and down in the PDF.
I've explained the issue properly in the video (jump to 0:27 in the video) whose link is given below. Kindly help me out in solving this issue as soon as possible and please check if this issue affects your device or not. Thanks.

Mine is the same; I think it's normal AMOLED behavior: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/lagging-black-pixels-scrolling-dim-t3696188
My guess is that it takes longer for a completely black pixel to turn on than for lit pixels to turn off or change their brightness.
Deleted
And I don't need to 'dim' the lights to reproduce the issue, as it is mentioned in the link you've shown. It feels really strange and unexpected from an expensive device like the S9+.
EDIT: To be more precise, the grey frame deforms and SHRINKS in size while scrolling.

Every Samsung Phone with Amoled screen has the this same issue! Nothing new!
Hi,
Got my 20 Pro on Friday and so far I'm relatively pleased with it. There seem to be a few teething issues.
In-screen fingerprint scanner
- Doesn't work 100% of the time for me. More like 70% of the time.
- I find it less usefull than one on the rear. With a scanner on the rear you can use it to pull down the notifications whatever screen you might be in. ie I can be in the Browser and still pull the nitifications down with a swipe. I haven't found a way of doing that on the 20 Pro without coming out of the active app?
Some apps are not working?
- Just crashes straight away?
Gesture navigation
- coming from a Xiaomi it is clear where Huawei took their inspiration from. But it simply does not work as smoothly. Flicking up form the bottom should just take you home with a flicker of the previous apps coming up. Just a little thing but hey!
EMUI Desktop question
I also have a Mat 10 Pro on which I use the Desktop application extensively and it works very well. However with the 20 Pro the displayed resolution is much lower, as if it reduced from wqhd to hd? Is there a way around this? It is actually making it pretty useless.
Apps:
Are you talking about native apps? As they should have been thorough benchmarked against Pie 9.0 before being released on a phone. If its apps from Nougat or Oreo, then there's a possibility those apps require updates for suitability on the new OS.
Fingerprint:
Are you using the same pressure for each tap? Have you tried unregistered and re-registering your finger print again (touch different areas of your finger around the sensor area)?
EMUI Desktop:
Can you explain what is wrong with the resolution of FHD using desktop EMUI? Lower res (at least not under 720p HD) is good to prolong battery life...what sort of work are you doing (do you really need 2K resolutions? How did you find battery life with full res quality on M10P?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
You might well be right about the apps, some of them probably need updating to Pie. However, I'm having an issue connecting Android Wear notifications. There is a Wear Alert saying saying it needs aces to Notifications, which it has. When I click on the the link Wear just closes down. All the settings are correct and the watch (Huawei W1) is paired. So that's...annoying
I have deleted the fingerprints and re-registered them, it might be about 80% successful now. But it is more the loss of functionality which is a shame. A physical fingerprint sensor can be used to swipe down notifications much more easily. But hey ho.
The desktop just looks really zoomed in on the m20p compared to the m10p. Is there a way of zooming out? Unusable otherwise.
I think I might sell the m20p and get the Mi Mix 3, it has a physical fingerprint sensor, gestures work seamlessly for all launchers including Nova (really don't like the Chinese UI's - EMUI, MIUI etc...) and it has no notch.
Wait for build 122 if you aren't already on it. Widely discussed in multiple threads here...might fix one or more of your problems RE: wear/apps and the consistency of fingerprint. Cannot help you with Desktop function just yet.
RoOSTA
I can't get desktop mode to work. Is it a specific cable I need? I use a USB-C to HDMI that works fine with my Note 9, but nothing at all happens.
Also, is there a way to use Wireless Projection to a Chromecast? Or any other tips on how this works...

I think it's a DPI not a resolution difference. Yes, I also find the lower DPI (larger fonts and elements) annoying. EMUI Desktop needs to have customization options.

The front fingerprint reader works 99% of the time for me. I find you simply have to press harder on it than a standard finger print reader. The pulling down the notification shade with the scanner is probably one of the least used features on any phone to be honest "shrug". Back readers are just so clumsy. Using my note now is like going back to the 80's in back to the future haha.
Flicking up with gestures on standard launcher works perfectly. It is the non standard launchers that will require updating.
As for the desktop mode, it's most likely down to your TV or a required update on the Mate. Also make sure you have the resolution on the phone set manually to the resolution you want.

Hmm, each to their own views on useful functionality. Personally, I find the ability to pull notifications down whilst using the phone, holding it with one hand and not having to close any apps useful. More so with the m20p since there is already an unlocking mechanism on the front.
No doubt it is non standard launchers causing the issue with gestures, but I can only say that they work perfectly on Xiaomi devices and Nova.
The irritation with the desktop is that the m10p displays fine on the same monitor. Some kind of dpi issue.

Samsung DEX is way better than either the m20p or m10p in terms of desktop environment on a smartphone. Checkout the various options for the screen resolution for the desktop on Samsung DEX.
has anyone managed to fix the resolution issue with desktop mode yet?
This is one of the main reasons I bought the mate 20 x and if the resolution isn't going to be fixed then I might be going to samsung unfortunately
Hi all, I've had my Mate 20 Pro for a few months now and I've slowly started noticing this weird sort of bleeding that seems to happen on my screen when I'm scrolling or switching between apps, particularly noticeable with apps that have dark mode on.
For an even longer time I've noticed that when on the official Reddit app (dark mode) for example and I'm scrolling down, the text becomes very fuzzy looking and the top of the text looks darker than the rest (or bottom if scrolling up).
Now the same thing is happening to images and app screenshot when switching between apps. It's become very noticeable now. Has anyone else experienced this?
I should note that this is on the lowest brightness settings. When I turn my brightness all the way up, I can't seem to notice it as much. My eye will only catch a split second of bleeding when scrolling past images.
I've attached a screen recording here gfycat . com/happyunhealthybeardedcollie but I'm unsure if you will able to see it or not. (I'm unable to post outside links or upload as I am a new user, apologies for the inconvenience).
Thanks.
Pretty sure it's OLED smearing

... and it is normal on this type of screens. Black color on these screens means powered off pixels. The time needed for these pixels to turn on or turn off during scrolling yields that smearing effect. This is the price we are paying for having screens that display black as it should be, i.e. total absolut black.
Hello all,
This has been an issue since I got the pixel 6 at launch. When playing videos, the shadows appear washed out. It appears to be some sort of gamma shift or HDR tone mapping issue. This happens when in google photos, chrome browser, imgur, even other apps. (youtube is fine).
I've confirmed in person this happens to other pixels one of which was pixel 6 pro.
The issue is recorded here:
I tried changing the color setup under display options in system settings, turning off H265 in camera settings, booting into safe mode, forcing 60hz refresh rate, but it still washes out the videos.
This does not happen with videos shot by other phones, for example my wife's iPhone shot video then sent it over to me and the gamma shift does not happen...
Strange thing is, in Chrome while playing the video, as soon as I swipe up from the bottom to open the recent apps, the video jumps back to normal as seen here:
https://imgur.com/a/Va3l5fQ
I reported this to google, and their chat support to me to fully nuke my phone to factory....
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and could other Pixel 6 users verify it's happening on their devices as well ?
Thank you

I seldom shoot video with phones and usually don't like to reference reviews. But from what you described Dxomark's summary about video performance is looking to be spot-on.
Google Pixel 6 Camera review: An outstanding performer in its segment - DXOMARK
The Google Pixel 6 camera displayed an outstanding performanc and is currently the best option for photographers who prefer smaller devices.
www.dxomark.com
My experience with dark objects in still photos has been somewhat similar. Recently I couldn't get enough detail photographing black camera bodies I'm selling online. Even with direct light from a daylight LED lamp I ended up using night mode. Every speck of dust showed up which wasn't ideal either.
Over all, though, I like the Pixel 6 camera.

I've been able to remedy this in chrome by turning off HW Overlays in Developer Options.
It's still an issue in Google Photos.

Huh it stays on on note 10 . In that case i am not shure how u can keep it on. Can u elaborate on when it turn itself off back again?
Weird, after I turn it on, I can go to any other screen on the phone, if I come back the toggle it´s off again, maybe it´s a bug on my end, here´s the example
