Just noticed when using google maps on the s5 with marshmallow that there are no more zoom in and out. Making navigating with one hand extremely difficult. Is there a way to get the two little +/- zoom buttons back on the app??
Why the hell does Google do stuff like this is beyond me.
Thanks,

This is a minor concern for me but I'm surprised at this user functionality and hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
I just got a verizon s3 SCH-I535 and I'm pretty annoyed that when using the browser, if you pinch to zoom in or out, you then have to remove your fingers from the screen and then re-touch it to pan/swipe around. I've been using these phones for so long that I'm in the habit of being able to zoom and pan around while in constant contact with the screen and transitioning gestures. It's much faster and fluid that way.
Transitioning from a zoom to a pan while in constant contact with the screen = DOESN'T WORK

I'm guessing it a samsung firmware bug but I was hoping...
a.) Someone can verify their phone does this too on stock rom so I know it's not just mine.
b.) Maybe someone is using a custom rom that this works the way I want it to.
Basically I just want to be able to zoom and pan while keeping at least one finger in constant contact with the screen. It's annoying to have to pick up and re-touch after every zoom gesture.
Thanks for any insight.
Could someone at least please verify that their phone behaves the same way? Zoom in on a web page and then, keeping one of the two fingers you zoomed with on the screen, attempt to swipe around the screen. Doesn't work for me but I have noticed it works on photos in the gallery. I even tried downloading several different browsers with no luck.
I can confirm.
Just got mine for xmas, was using sgh-t959. I dont know if you could do it on the vibrant or not. I dont think I ever tried before.
What you don't know could fill a book.
Looks like the Samsung stock browser to me. They modded the Android browser. Works correctly on Chrome and Dolphin.

Thanks! I tired a couple other browsers including Dolphin with no change, but I just downloaded Chrome and it behaves the way I would like it to. :good:
I use auto upload when WiFi+charging, great for our phones with limited storage, So I rely a lot on Google+ auto backup photos. I delete pictures from my local album to free space, but...
When I am browsing my photos through Google+, I CANNOT swipe left or right to go previous/next picture. If I do that, when I leave the app, my phone gets extreme lag, especially in home screen and notification drawer. I even thought this was some CleanRom related bug, but I'm using stock rooted and the problem is still there. I also thought this could be a Sense Launcher bug, but even with Nova launcher it happens.
Anyone else having this issue? I bet there a lot of people experiencing this.. It took me a while to figure out what was causing it, but it's very simple: Just open a photo on Google+ and swipe left or right to go the next/previous pic. Your phone should lag like crazy until you reboot it.

I get the lag too. I usually get it after closing YouTube, I also did the photo swiping you mentioned and was affected as well. Are you using the elementalx or bulletproof kernels?
Using stock rooted rom and kernel. I used to get similar slowdowns on ElementalX kernel, but I could never find the source. In this case I was able to nail it down, and I haven't experienced lag from other apps.

Honestly unless your a huge fan of Google plus I would recommend using drop box (which has the same feature) .
(Especially since it seems like Google plus failed to take off)
+ drop has integration to backup stuff from quite a few apps (fuelio & tibu for example)

I have used dropbox and box extensively before trying Google+ photos. What makes Google+ more attractive to me is that uploads at standard(but still high) resolution are unlimited. It also uploads my videos in HD, also unlimited.
It's not all about storage(I have a 50gb box account). When I actually want to view or download my photos , Google+ is much, much MUCH faster to load. Dropbox and Box are super slow to load, and they also don't sort my pictures by date. Google+ even highlights what it thinks are the best pictures from any given day, enhances them to make them look better and it even creates animations out of my burst shots.
For photo storage, Google+ is so much better, there's just no contest.
Just got my M8 today. Love it so far. Went ahead and s-off/root/bootloader unlock'd it, and have been getting it back to AOSP as much as possible (GEL & Xposed FTW).
One of the things i've been trying to find a way to fix, is to use Google Now voice search for the swipe down action for when the dot case is on and the screen is off (for those without the case, it launches HTC's own voice search which sucks IMHO). I use Tasker/Autovoice + Google Search API to control my home automation via Google Now, and it would be awesome to be able to do so just by swiping down on the case.
Any thoughts/ideas/resolutions?
Thanks!
I have been playing with the fullscreen gesture feature that came out in Android 10. I like it a lot. The screen area on my 7 pro is even bigger now. The back screen gesture is almost as reliable as the button.
Except for one problem- the gestures that involved the bottom edge seldom work reliably. I notice the problem is more pronounced if I am using an app that has lots of screen stuff it can scroll. Examples include facebook (web page), Google Maps, weather radar apps... The bottom gestures (Go To Homescreen, Go To Multitasking View) work reliably if I am using an app that is only one page long and does not have any scrolling involved, like a calculator app. I get the same reliability (or lack thereof) if I use the bottom bar or not. But using Chrome, Maps, etc. and trying to get into the multitasking view, or "back to home" is almost impossible.
Am I the only one having these problems? Any solutions offered?
I'm running Oxygen 10.3.3, no root, stock everything. I've tried both the Oxygen Launcher and Apex, same results with either.
Hi there, long time, me no post. I did try to search for this, but only found the problems folks were having with the zoom. I thought I may have read about once, but alas, it has been ages.
I am old school, running the GM1917 One Plus Pro 7 on Android 9, Renovate Ice 6 (OP7Pro6.0). Yeah, if it works, why fix it with endless updates?
So, is there a way to remap the volume buttons to camera zoom, especially only when camera app is open? Oh yeah, my camera app version is 3.8.13
Thanks in advance,
Ted
