Hi all,
I picked up my Galaxy on Monday although I haven't really had a proper play with it yet as i'm waiting for screen protector and case first
Anyway, one thing I did try out was playing some films. Depending on the resolution of the film some of them look perfect whilst the others looked squeezed together. I remember seeing something similar on the HTC Desire when I tried it out but it had the option to adjust the ratio and make do with top and bottom borders instead.
Is this possible with the Galaxy video player as I can't seem to find an option to change the ratio?
Thanks,
Dazz
When you are playing a file... bring up the play/pause menu by tapping the screen... you'll see a box in the right hand bottom corner of the play bar... tap it to cycle the aspect ratios.

Thanks crabby thats great, I thought it was the stop button
Hi,
Using the new Google Camera App. Has anyone found a way
to zoom in with this app??? The normal volume button to
zoom in doesn't work in this app with the S4.
Thanks, Ken
Found answer!!
Nevermind,
I found my own answer. For anyone else:
"The camera focuses automatically, but you can touch the screen to manually focus on a different part of the image. Pinch two or more fingers together to zoom in, and spread them to zoom out."

So I've had my s8 plus for a couple days and snapchat SUCKS on this phone. I didn't wanna complain but being an app that I use often and most likely ALOT of people use often, I was wondering if there's anyway to either change the aspect ratio on this app (the full screen option for snapchat is unable to be toggled) or make snapchat think it's an s7 edge.
The main issue with snapchat on the s8 plus is that the front camera is super zoomed in, takes f.e to focus, and stories and snaps I receive or view in the stories look horrible like they were shot with a Motorola razr.
Edit: I know you guys will say snapchat needs to make an update but being an android user we should know all too well how that will go.
Settings, display, fullscreen apps, snapchat disable

Not sure if it's a variant thing but the option to disable Snapchat from working in full screen mode is greyed out on my settings. Selecting/long press does nothing.
Snapchat works fine for me. Running Snapchat v10.7.2.0 Beta
Im having the same issue. The camera is so zoomed in and even my Galaxy S6 had better quality in lower lighting. It doesnt make sense. It looks very good if you have white light coming in but if not, its pretty bad. I was surprised. And I cant toggle the full screen option either
This is going to sound dumb, but how do I exit a snap of I don't want to continue watching one? The Samsung buttons don't show up on the bottom and I can press the home button, since it's press sensitive, bit I cab figure out how to exit a snap. I keep getting stuck in a loop of espn and comedy central snaps because I can't exit a current snap. So I've been having to press the Samsung home button, shutdown Snapchat, then reopen.

Any solutions?
Hey!
I see that this was posted in the spring, so I wonder if any of you have any solutions regarding the snapchat zoom on the S8 (s8+)?
Just bought the phone and I'm struggling with the same problem...
Is it possible to make the fingerprint touch area to scroll down and up for media volume rather than notification?
Thanks
I think the s10e touch sensor can be used to a lot more than just volume adjustment. Like scrolling in apps, or maybe "scrolled"-screenshots like one could do on OnePlus devices. I guess we just need to wait for a developer to figure out how.
i think they should add other mapping options like zoom in the camera or go back to forward in the web browser
it will be nice
I love running apps natively on my Atoto S8 head unit, but music apps like Amazon Music and Spotify are designed to work in portrait mode only apparently.
The UI is wonky in landscape, forced to fill a screen in ways it was not designed to, and leaving some UI elements inaccessible. Has anyone found any workarounds?
I found that Amazon was the worst, with the tiny little play/pause button almost impossible to hit while driving with any kind of accuracy. I discovered "car mode" which helps tremendously within that app, however you get a very limited set of options (no way to pull up all your playlists to find) unless you go back to "not car mode". I see there's the ability to speak your commands with Alexa, so that could be cool, but trying that gives me a screen to click to enable Alexa, WITH THE "NEXT" BUTTON OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE DISPLAY WHERE I CAN'T CLICK IT. So I'm stuck without that, too.
This is so silly, I don't understand why more of these apps aren't designed with a landscape option in mind. But meanwhile, I'm wondering if there's some way around this I'm missing. Is there an option to make portrait apps letterboxed in the middle of the screen? Not ideal, but at least I can do things like enable Alexa and then go back to stretching to widescreen. Or is there a hacked/modified version of these apps for car units? Perhaps a widget or something that can plugin and give you control?
I've seen some car launchers seem to give you basic AVRCP controls and even album art, I'm wondering if this can be taken a step further and possibly have a companion UI app for different oriented screens? Or do we just live with this and rely on using Android Auto for all that?
I like native apps better than AA.
