For those of us who got the Galaxy S8 or S8+, it has rounded corners on the screen, meaning that if you have the battery level and time displayed in the title bar, the minutes of the time aren't visible.
Is it possible to have an option to shift the text in from the top/right a little, so that we can see the minutes while the video is playing?
The funny thing is that if you capture a screen shot, the text in the corner is there, it's just not visible on the device as the screen corners are rounded to "remove" part of the screen visible area - a price we pay for aesthetics
[Feature Request] Please allow bottom text to be shifted inwards for curved corners
The last few device's I've owned - LG G6, S8 Plus, and now Note 8 - all have curved corners on their screen, so on-screen text placed at the bottom during playback, such as elapsed time and battery/clock are getting cut off.
Can you please toggle or allow adjustment of these text fields to be moved inwards to accommodate these types of displays?
Thanks for a great app!
Is there already a solution for this?

I am looking for a solution to this problem as well. It's not just the Galaxy S8 that is affected. I am seeing this issue on my Pixel 2 XL as well.
Has no other problems with it?

The radius of the corner varies by device. And any app can't get the exact value.
As a workaround, In next version, we will a new option to set the corner offset. It will available only when you have enabled either Elapsed Time or Battery/Clock. You can adjust it according to your requirement.

Where's the option?
Hey guys
I'm currently running version 1.19.16 and still haven't seen any option to move the clock/time battery away from the corners.
I'm looking for it in settings / player / screen, where I can enable or disable the clock/time/ battery on screen when the video's playing...

On v1.9.18.2, We have added a new option to manually adjust the corner offset. Currently, it's rolled out to the public beta testers. You can check it out if you are interested.

Hi Guys,
Which is the best and stable camera app to be used for portrait mode in the S7? And can it be used with the front camera? I tried many but they all crash every now and then.
Thanks
You can use selective focus mode on stock camera app. It produces portrait-like photos (back camera only) but the downside to me is the size. The image will be about 20MB in size but if you edit it again using any photo editor app it will decrease. IMO the stock selective focus mode is better and faster than lens blur on Google Camera.

Yes it is good but like 90% of the times it will say that subject not detected. And the size for me is normal like 4-5mb per photo. Any other modded/ported camera app for the S7 for this purpose? And can it be used with the front camera?
You can check the @miniuser123 version of the Gcam app. I think it's the best (far away) portrait mode for us.
Better than our cam but still don't work the face cam.

Set somethings:
- Don't change the HDR parameters. Set it to default.
- Unmark the "Use Nexus6 HDRPlus Auto"
- Mark "Compress RAW (*.DNG)
- Mark "Portrait Mode in all models"
- Unmark "Smartburst Enable"
The "camera.af.debug.show" and the "camera.faceboxes" are in Settings>Developer Settings. But these are optional.
Hope I helped
*EDIT - check and follow the thread (here in XDA) about HDR+ for S7. The better place for try new cam apps and discuss about that

This is a problem with the image processing (the heating and the battery drain). Some people says the cause is the app use all cores for processing the image (HDR+ and portrait)
Anyway, there's a new version with front camera working with portrait.

Thanks!! The settings is a bit different but I only changed the model to Nexus 6 and everything is ok. It's still crashed when I switch back to rear camera from front cam while in portrait mode. But portrait mode is still only available on the rear camera, right? Because it's not working on front cam.
Oh right, actually the heating was only a couple times after installing. Now it doesn't heat anymore.

Oh, no. This version that I sent works the rear and front camera in portrait mode. Using without the portrait the front camera is terrible.
And even at portrait, the front camera has a bug with high exposure changing the color to something like pink exposure.
I attached my settings. Remember to close and reopen the app totally for apply.

Changing the model to pixel 2 xl did enable portrait on the selfie but yeah it got some pink on high exposure. But the result was still great. Without portrait the front cam is blurry and the edge was too much sharpened. It's terrible.
Also, is HDR+ enabled by default? There's no HDR+ setting on the top row but there's some sort of delay (like when applying HDR) when I take pictures so I thought it's still there. The photos taken with rear camera is also better now I guess.

Yeah, this version is near to perfect.
I never, anymore, take pics o' people without rear portrait camera -hahaha
The delay is borring but minimal. You can take a lot of pics and check them later. You don't need to wait between the shots.
If you wanna HDR+ setting, go to: settings>advance>check the option: manual HDR+ control (my app isn't in english, but is something like that)
*You can't increase the HDR+ parameters
**Just a obs- my app crashed sometimes at older version (I didn't try the newer properly) and my app didn't take pics. If it happen, just "force stop" and it back.

Btw i was checking on the source thread and found that there's a newer version uploaded early today. This version fixed the pink stain and the HDR menu is back on the top row. I think this is much stable since there's no heating or crashing at all.

Doesn't seem like EIS but nvm, let's stay optimistic correcting of colors of AI photos is sweet too, they're too oversaturated now.
Is the update out in India?
So I got the 8.1.0.120 update like an hour ago (I'm on C432) and here are my first thoughts.
1) Photos seem less saturated so there is better color representation (or it seems so to me.). There also is a separate icon in top left in the camera app for searching the objects you shot in Amazon (useless for me), however from there you can access the QR reader. Also, if you have AI on, it will now show a brief text informing you about whatever scene it recognised. There is no EIS.
2) Fingerprint sensor which has been kinda frustrating to use for some of us since launch seems more responsive (might be subjective, ofc it isn't relevant enough after an hour of testing...). After the phone is updated it deletes every finger you had scanned before and add them again.
3) There's this new 'Party mode' app that let's you play music simultaneously on more phones via NFC which I haven't tried (and most likely won't).
4) There are some new Themes, LaMer one is kinda cool.
5) This update also should improve battery life, if it's noticeably better / worse I'll let you know in a few days.
edit 1: There are more options in Notch settings now.

Wouldn't be shooting at night much better with stabilization?
No it wouldn't. EIS works way differently than OIS. It shifts image from frame to frame of video to counteract the motion. This is why the video is zoomed bit more, because areas of sensor outside of frame acts as motion buffers. This is why you can't use it on photos. Thus lot of manufacturers has this function on still photos, but this is just marketing BS. They just use higher ISO for faster shutter speeds, but at cost of excessive noise.
Really happy with this update.... Photos are better in low light , fingerprint works better, and battery life is very good
Update it too, finger print scan much faster now. Previously a few times needed before it register and unlock. And battery life also improved. The rest haven't noticed/tried yet.
Slow refocusing in video recording
Hi
I applied the 8.1.0.120 (C636) update and finding problems when recording video (in any resolution/fps). Since this was very shortly after I got the phone, I don't know whether caused by the update or not.
1. For moving object, the focus is noticeably slow to readjust, so the focused object blurs, even with small movement, before it gets refocused. I have tried with the Object Tracking ON which is slightly better but still have the problem.
2. The Object Tracking option is available only in video settings. I definitely remember before the update this option was available also for photo. This itself is not so much an issue, but in video settings if I turn this ON, keeps getting reset to OFF when I exit the camera app.
Anyone else facing this, specially issue no. 1, I am wondering whether it is a hardware problem?
Thanks

Hi again! I can believe that OP didnt give us the option to record video with the wide angle lens. I've found it very useful. So, searching a little bit, i find this code *#*#1597#*#* that you put in dialer, to open de developer camera api.
Digging into the app, i realize that you CAN record 1080p video with the wide lens, so.. theres any mod to skip this awful step, copying the code, everytime i wanna use this function?
I dont know why we dont have this option native in the app.

What are you talking about? I dont understand. The black background on a portrait mode is a Samsung Feature, for example.
You're holding it wrong.
Why won't phone manufacturers fix this obvious problem?
IE, when the phone is held vertically the capture is still a proper 16x9 wide screen?
Vertical video capture is ruining everything!

Hey! Calm down. That was just a test. I think we would be more open mind. Some content its better to see in horizontal, other content its better in vertical. Im a photographer and sometimes, there are stories that are better to told in vertical, cuz i wanna told you something in that form, for example, this pics here: the vertical one, have a special touch, a unique point of view im comparison to the horizontal one

Still photos in portrait orientation are fine obviously.
It's the video that's the issue.
A simple solution to this problem can be fixed on all devices, not sure why the manufacturers don't implement it!
