I have installed a couple more keyboards i.e. Verizon 2.1 with voice input and also swype, but each time i select these i lose the ability to pinch to zoom.
Works ok if i revert back to the stock keyboard, anyone else seen this and have a solution for it ?
thanks

Pinch to zoom seems to be working again now and not done nothing since posting here, very strange.
Does it work once restarted? As in switch phone off then back on?
nope does the same even if this phone is restarted.

I've been having problems with pinch to zoom too, but i had no idea it was linked to the keyboard. Both seem to work perfectly fine usually, but after heavy use i notice pinch to zoom stops working, but is OK after a reboot. Would love to get a fix for this.
I've installed the voice to text with the Verizon keyboard download, and although pinch-to-zoom works most of the time, it occasionally scatters the small home screens to the edges of the screen, and I have to press the home buttone to reset them. But it still works 99% of the time.
Sweet works fine for me, deffo prefer htc keys for typing though. its auto correction is great
Hey guys,
I was having this problem but I figured it out.
Go into the browser, change to the third party browser, exit the browser and restart the phone.
Then pinch zoom works..
you can swap back and forth from the default and the third party one again with pinch zoom enabled.

Verizon 2.1 is considered warez, you shouldnt post it
and regarding the issue, ... does it happen on ALL pinch to zoom applications? i.e. home screen, .. browser, ... galllery ... etc ? or just the browser when using swype? .. what if you used swype in messaging and then sent a message and closed the messaging application, does the pinch gets effected?
I am using swift and I have also used swype beta. Pinch to zoom has never been an issue for me at all. My friend has had this issue thought and he just restarts his desire and then it works again.

anybody got a fix for this?? it's really annoying not having pinch-to-zoom, i tried switching back to the android keyboard, but still doesnt bring the pinch-to-zoom function back...
same thing will happen in google maps and gallery
Hi,
by now we all know that we aint getting any multitouch, but the necessity of multitouch still remains. If you are using default browser/skyfire then you have to find a spot in the website to click (where there are no links), then the Zoom In/Out comes up. If you are using Opera, then if you double tap it zooms out to a default value (nope, you cant change the zoom out level).
Both of the above methods are not that great. I was wondering if it is possible to make an app that would use the volume button to zoom in/out. So when you are in browser or map or pic viewer, you press the volume button, it zooms in/out.
I think this app would be awesome
The only problem is I dont know how to make it
So can any dev work on this PLEASE. I am pretty sure lot of us and also people with other phones could use this app.
Thanks in advance
Bikram
PS: Non devs pls back me up in this (might bring some attn)
I'd be interested in an app like that.
EDIT: Not a dev, but I see a problem with that...wouldn't that mean an entire browser needs to be made? (Unless SkyFire or Opera made an update for their browsers)
EDIT2: Another thought, do any of the Android browsers support add-ons? I'm going to figure this out tomorrow
it could be possible though you need the source code of one of the apps weather it be skyfire or opera.
I think the devs have the source code for the default browser. Right??
Hi,
there are APIs for Creating Browsers (its not very hard actually) but i dont know if the same APIs allow adjusting of zoom level, if so, the second question is if we can get the events of the Volume buttons.
Lets see
I am not sure what you are talking about, but I am sure there are API's for volume. Even if not then we might be able to find it in the decrypted ROM.
What im saying is that i dont know if it is possible to block Volume Adjusting and instead use it for Zooming.
My guess is yes though.

dolphin browser uses the volume buttons to scroll..

Pictures taken in PORTRAIT (with just holding the phone straight up) do not save EXIF data correctly, and are shared as LANDSCAPE when "Shared" to Messaging, Gmail, etc. This is ****ing embarrassing.
You can try out Camera 360. I love that app and use it as my default photo app, I have the paid version. It might resolve your issue. Since I have not gotten my phone yet I cannot test to see if it works.
Link to free version.

You sure it's not just your web browser, or Gmail? I haven't checked in a while, but Exif rotational data was rarely used in browsers in recent history. Try opening your photo using the new version of Picasa to see if it's rotated correctly.
No, it is still screwed up. Take a picture in portrait. Then click "Share" to Messaging, Gmail, Facebook, whatever. It will preview as a sideways (landscape) photo, thus looking stupid.
It does preview that way, have you confirmed it sends that way?
Picture related, my panorama shots do not work, I get panorama failed pop up

Yes, I've confirmed that it "shares" that way to Messaging, Gmail and Picasa, and of course Facebook.
Interestingly enough, the original Droid has this problem. It doesn't seem to bother anyone. This is a huge bummer. No idea how to fix this.
Also after taking a photo, and previewing it, the whole screen orientation is in Landscape, no matter what you do. Keyboard open, keyboard closed - all the same. That's frustrating as well. Anyone got any ideas or insight?
Try using a photo editor such as PicSay and rotating the picture into landscape. Then maybe when you send it, it will send the right way
That definitelyorks, although I prefer Photoshop Express. But that is an honest unecessary hassle.

Bugs the hell out of me.
As far as I can tell there is no portrait mode on the Epic - that's why all of the controls are locked to landscape mode and rotating the phone doesn't do shiz.
I really hope they fix this.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The EVO 4G used to be like that, but in the Froyo 2.2 update they made it so the controls will auto-orientate to portrait mode. But, when you used to take photos pre-Froyo, they would always rotate correctly.
I've been rotating my photos in Photoshop Express but holy **** it compresses the hell out of them, making them go from 1MB~ to almost 30kB. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe our Froyo update will fix the whole shebang. I really hope that Samsung didn't just frak me over with a crippled crappy phone that doesn't get bug fixes like they did with my Intrepid (the bastard child of Windows Mobile and Samsung) - Galaxy S is their flagship and they need to get on top of stuff.
I am not getting this issue. Can you give me the steps to duplicate it?
I pressed the camera button.
I took a portait picture.
I went into gallery.
I shared with both Picasa and emailed via gmail to myself.
In both it was displayed as Portait.
I noticed this last night. It's extremely annoying. Have to go on photoshop express as well.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Again, I am not getting this issue at all. Can someone detail how to duplicate it?
This could be a usage pattern thing. I detailed how I did it, and it works fine. What are you guys doing differently? If needed I can make a video showing that it works for me.

I am doing the exact same thing as what you're doing, and still getting pictures showing up as landscape, when they were taken with the phone held straight up.
Do you notice after you take a picture and click the PLAY button from the camera UI, the whole "preview" mode is in landscape?

No, in preview they are also correctly in Landscape. Perhaps you need to have the phone in portrait when you start the camera application?
Even while the camera app is loaded I took one picture in Landscape, then Portrait. Both displayed correctly in preview and after emailing.
I can feel your frustration though, that would be lame if it didn't do that. I will make a video tonight, not sure if it will help, but it might give you hope. As a last resort maybe you should try a hard reset back to defaults? I hate to recommend that, but it might work. Seeing as mine works and I have not tweaked anything camera related.
p.s. This might not be related, but I did not get the OTA patch after starting my phone, my GF's epic did. So my phone shipped already patched. I will test her camera tonight as well.

Hi, first of all i'd like to thanks everyone in this forum because without you it would have been impossible for me to install a custom rom on my x8! (Froyobread, very nice job!)
However as being unable to use pinch zoom as having a cypress chip in my device, i was wandering if there's any way to enable single finger zoom like in the original out-of-the-box SE rom.....
Can anyone help me?
thanks in advance
Isnt it based on the app you want to use zoom on?...
I mean, if you want to zoom on browser, browser will have function for zoom in when double press screen.....
I think it's not... in fact if my phone has had the synaptic chip i would be pinching instead of pressing zoom-in and zoom-out buttons in every apps preinstalled in the modded rom; however i've heard about standalone applications that supports single finger zoom like you said, but in this case it's different; i think that x8 sony ericsson's eclaire rom has a module similar to x8gesture that can handle single finger zoom for the entire operating system's apps....
sorry for my english and thanks for the answer!

Try deleting x8gesture module from /system/lib/modules using root explorer.

I've done as you said, but nothing changed... always zoom-in and zoom-out buttons in the bottom right corner.....
In browser? Try it in gallery.

You think wrong then. Eclair has a one-finger-zoom only in gallery as far as I remember. I don't know about stock browser (I never used that) but none other app supported it as I remember, and definitely no non-ROM app supported it. And all custom ROM apps are build for either button zoom or pinch zoom... this is simply how cyanogen mod works, they didn't think that any company would go for something as archaic as non-MT digitizer
Stock eclair has 1 finger zoom only in gallery, that's all.
Hi guys,
I have the setting enabled that is meant to reflow text on webpages like my old Desire HD, but I see no difference, it still requires painful finger panning left and right to read a website.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

It reflows only when double tapping.
There was something in the forum somewhere - I think if you look in something like SGS2 tips or something... I'm pretty sure the thread had the word 'easteregg' in it, so search that...
Ok, actually looking for this myself...

Use opera mobile browser free from the market. Even better than HTC's browser IMO. Auto - text reflow works extremely well!
I agree that opera's reflow is top notch. I also love the browser for its silky smooth performance, but it drives me nuts that it doesn't use the standard android user agent. So pages specifically designed for android (and there are a lot of these) just show up in a generic mobile format and don't look as good.
Opera's agent can be changed in opera:config page. I used it a lot, but now I'm back at stock browser, as Opera can't display some sites I use properly.
And yeah, trick is to doubleclick on paragraph to fit it. Pinch zoom just zooms. Imho it's good combination.
I've tried on my SGS2 to pinch-zoom and double-tap to reflow. No luck. It works on my SGS1 running Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock, but no luck on the SGS2. It just zooms in or out when I double tap the text.

Go into the browser settings, select 'Auto-Fit' and then double tap on a webpage to have the browser zoom and reflow to a readable size.
Regards.
Opera mobile's text relow is really good, just zooming activates it without needing to double tap

Sure, and change the zoomfactor by pinch and zoom a little and what happens? Correct, nothing, even with autofit enabled.
The stock browser does NOT auto-reflow. It only has two (fixed) zoomlevels with text reflow. Rather useless.
Yes I think this counts as a Samsung Bug. After the double press to fully zoom in, then try pinch zoom out -- you get text reflow -- but try pinch zoom in -- no text reflow -- useless.
Text reflow on pinch zoom in has always worked on all HTC phones. I presume this works on Stock Android (nexus phones).
This does not work on the s1 ether. Oh dear, why does Samsung break really good features. They have also broken fullscreen flash video which always shows the status bar. But never shows on HTC phones.
How can we get this bug officially reported to Samsung?
I'm from 3 HTC phones as well and I'm missing this feature.
My solution: Set Dolphin browser as default
Nope the dolphin browser does not do it either, just reflow on zoom out only. (I think it uses the same engine as stock)
I refer to the kind of reflow you're talking about as 'dynamic reflow', where the text reflows with pinch zooming to whatever level you like, because that differentiates it clearly from double-tap to zoom and reflow to one zoom level (the only behaviour in the stock browser). I only point that out because it might help stop some of these "no it doesn't reflow", "yes, it does reflow - enable autofit" arguments.
I use Opera because it supports dynamic reflow, so I'd suggesting using that.
This whole thread is about 'dynamic reflow'.
WHY has Samsung disabled 'dynamic reflow' on the stock browser when it works just fine on HTC phones. Presumably this is a standard Android feature.
How do report this bug to Samsung? Common guys lets get Samsung to fix this in thier next release.
Old news ...
I think this "old" thread already covers this subject ...

This is a problem. on my sgs, i could zoom to any level and then double tap to reflow text, i was surprised when it didn't work on the sgs2. also, i agree, flash video fullscreen keeps the f'in status bar where as on the sgs it was not a problem. we need firmware fixes now!

Why the flame dude? I was responding to the OP, not going off topic disussing dynamic reflow (not auto reflow). We all know the browser doesn't offer dynamic reflow, neither does bone stock Android. It's not a killer feature, if it bothers you that much there is a plethora of third party browsers out there.
Regards.
The samsung infuse does seem to have text reflow in the browser. That's even stranger.

Problem is that you can't "zoom-in" any further and then double-tap the paragraph to make it fit with the larger size. Both my OG SGS and Atrix could do this.
Unless there is something that I'm missing here to get the stock browser to work?...
