Pinch to zoom isn't working properly after the latest update - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having this issue? When I pinch to zoom, the screen jumps wildly, and never really zooms in. This just started happening after the last update. I've tried different browsers and it is still occurring. It is also happening in my gallery.

Have it sometimes too.
I just restart the device and then it works again.

What AnubisNefer said ^
But it is a pain in the butt when it happens.

I'll try a restart. I've rebooted a few times, it just always seems to come back rather quickly. Hopefully it'll be fixed whenever they fix the ghost swipes.

This bug annoyed me a lot! I can't zoom/resize pictures and can't zoom into the maps :silly: The workaround is to double tap for zoom, till you get to the level you need. It can take long but at least I can zoom the map without ending up in another city!

I got a shock when I could NOT zoom in or out of Google Maps earlier today. How can such a flagship phone produce such a terrible issue? Please help!

Is this an HW or SW bug?

Zooming issue

Everytime I try to use Opera it starts to zoom in and out on its own, has anyone else had this issue? or know a way to make it stop? It was fine for a week now all of a sudden it's gone crazy.
you touching the scroll wheel thingy? that makes it zoom
Nope I'm making sure I'm not
I went and got the phone replaced so issue sort of solved

[Q] A cpl WP7 questions

I browsed and couldn't find if these were already answered, but here I go. Using DVP.
1) Contacts pictures when they call, even when they are pinned to tile on home screen are blurry. Is this a WP7 issue? The pictures are not the issue, they were taken with Sony NEX5, and are good quality. I emailed an original pic for one, and then did a Zune sync with the other.
2) My browser bounces around. If I am reading an article, the browser pops down about 1/3 of a page, like it's scrolling, and then pops back into place. Any site, no rhyme or reason.
I think the blurry pictures thing is a known bug. Check the bugs thread.
As the browser thing, I've never heard of that one before. But you never know, sometimes my phone's camera button won't wake it up, and I've never seen that bug noted anywhere else either.

The picture issue is not a bug of the phone but a limitation of google (or windows live)
The pictures are scaled down considerably by google when the contacts are synced and these synced pictures hence look distorted..

That's because you're covering the proximity sensor with your other hand. That's a feature to sto pthe camera button activating the phone when it's in your pocket. Try using the camera button while keeping your mitts away from the sensor and it'll work every time.

Well lookee here. I'm apparently learning a lot in this thread.
Just tried that, and it worked fine, many thanks.

I was thinking that might be the issue. Is there anything I can do to fix that issue? Or it just is what it is when you sync the accounts? Obviously not a big deal, but a little annoying.
As for the browser jumping around, I'll get some video of it in action in the next cpl days.

G2X Camera Won't Launch

For some reason, the Camera function on my G2X no longer works. It worked a few times previously, but now every time I launch the screen flickers and nothing launches.
Persists across reboot. Cleared data on the camera app, want to avoid wiping the phone if possible.
Anyone run into this, before, or know a fix?

Haven't run into this problem myself but you could try downloading an alternate camera app from the market to see if that works. If it does, you may have to factory reset your phone. If it doesn't, it may be the hardware(the camera itself).

I noticed this problem as well, after rooting the phone. I'm not sure if it was an issue before that or not. But what I found is that if you rotate the phone into landscape mode and then open the camera app it works fine. Only trying to open it in portrait caused me any issues. Hope this helps.

This is ridiculous.
Yet true.
I'll be resetting my phone tonight to fix the battery drain, hopefully this will be resolved at the same time. But this definitely worked, so I can test out this camera some more while I wait. Thanks!
I had this issue too. Try opening while in landscape. Once open switch to portrait then close while in portrait. You should be able to open on portrait after.
Edit: This only works some of the time
Has anyone figured out the camera issue? I had my camera working fine, I rooted the phone and now the camera just flickers around the button. Must have this camera working.
Thanks

Had same issue, as you noted the reset solved my problem, camera is working AOK. I would have hated to loose the camera function, it is a good camera.
2nd phone that my damn camera stopped working after about 15 minutes. I didn't root this phone to make sure that wasn't the issue. The camera worked after I did a factory wipe, got it all set up and was taking pictures while I was setting it up to make sure it wasn't a rogue app. Thought I was in the clear and tried to take a picture and nothing. Same problem everyone else is having. just wiped the phone again for the 3rd time and camera works, going thru same process, can anyone give me any advice on this camera. Very strange and getting real pissed off.

I use anylock to bypass my lock screen so when I get a text message (ssm popup) It will open up my screen automatic and display text message. This way I'm not always pushing my power button to gain entry to phone. Problem is the lock screen app is some how screwing up the camera app. Also tried no lock and same problem.
Just wanted to let anyone using lock screens what I encountered, maybe save you hours of resetting phone.

Mine was doing the same thing and I was about to blame it on Pauls patch. It turned out to be widget locker. I froze it in Titanium and then it came on with no problem. I was really close to wiping AGAIN. Really glad I saw this. Thank You

Camera defocusing when recording starts

I have noticed this problem a couple month ago but figured only today that I could post here.
So the issue is pretty simple to describe. When recording a movie, the focus moves just a little bit right after I click the record button.
So if get the focus straight before recording, the focus will move and the movie will be blurry.
It seems I can prevent this to happen if I focus manually, hold my finger on screen while I start recording with another finger. But it doesn't work 100%
Am I the only one with this issue? Any idea how to fix it?
When I found this out I was rolling with Chroma, since then I went back to stock but the problem is still there.
Thanks in advance for your help
Nobody?
I noticed a while back that when I take a photo using my text messaging app, it is constantly trying to focus. Yet, when I switch to my actual camera app, it will focus just fine. I would suggest trying a different app. I don't do much video, but I know what you are talking about. Its freaking annoying. Its already focused just fine but then its like it decides to just try again and it takes longer while you're recording. Definitely try a different camera app. There might be one with focus lock or something like that.

Auto rotate animation stuttering

Anyone noticing this? This is most noticeable when watching a youtube video. Doesn't matter if it's 60 or 120hz. Not sure how to describe it but it's just like when you're playing a game then suddenly the FPS drops like the performance is being throttled. It's just not smooth as it was like on my Redmi note 4x or poco f1.
I thought the first system update yesterday resolved it but apparently it's still there. I'm also noticing this when scrolling through previous apps but not as noticeable as the auto rotate animation.
Yes, same problem here. Seems like it drops till 60hz when is rotating.

Actually, fps and refresh rate drops to 30 after a few seconds of not touching the screen. This causes the not so fluid animation when you rotate the screen.
Edit: Did some testing and seems like it only happens in YouTube app(vance/official) once you play the video. It doesn't happen when playing videos in gallery or google photos
Another bug....
I can't seem to get auto rotation to work at all actually. Anyone else having this issue? I'm on the latest version of the software, and auto rotation button is blue in drop down, and selected in the menu.

I've tried both ways, with various applications, and it doesn't seem to rotate. Youtube and VLC just now as an example.

It also happens on official YouTube and other apps such as the Vivaldi browser
no problems with stuttering in vanced/youtube or alltogether, however its very sensitive, tilting the phone a little often rotates it.
My poco x3 rotate screen when is flat on the table - how I can fix this annoying issue ?
