Anyone know how to get to a screen calibration tool on the Captivate / Galaxy S? I've done a search and found a number of links for how to do it on HTC phones, but nothing for the Galaxy S.
My screen isn't far off, but on a number of different sites in the browser it will register a link below what I touched.
Thanks.

Sometimes the problem is how the browser is rendering the page/links. Now and then I have the same problem, zoom-in then zoom-out fix it.
I have this problem on google reader. It's like the ads that get tucked in at the bottom through the click-able area off.
So I usually try to open links from the bottom up. or just give it a little time to catch up... it usually does
My screen occasionally goes crazy on my captivate. I will be swyping in text and it will suddenly jump all over the place...one time it started in K9 mail, another in Dolphin mini browser. Once it starts the entire screen is effected and it makes navigation difficult and usually ends in a reboot. I am not sure if these apps have anything to do with it but I removed them and then reinstalled and that helped. Not sure if anyone has experienced something similar and if there is something in particular that might be causing it. It is extremely frustrating.
this issue has happened to me some times, I've noticed that all the times it happens is because the screen has humidity, water, sweat,etc. At least to me that is the reason.
I'm interested in getting this tab, and I've checked it out at bestbuy. My only concern was the web browsing lag I noticed. I've seen this also in some reviews of the tab. The lag happens when you click on a link at it'll take a good 5 seconds before it starts to even load the link. Viewing the pages is no problem, but going from link to link seems to be sluggish. I noticed this on my original galaxy tab as well.
I also noticed that the web browser for some reason dims the backlight. I know this was an option for the original tab, and I looked for some separate brightness setting but none was found.
Any owners want to chime in?
There are so many good alternative browser in the market that I do not bother to use the stock one any more. I recommend Miren Browser.

i almost never use stock browers. also it depends on the connection speed and what you are trying to view. usually on the demo models at best buy they show all flash video. if you change that setting to on demand so you click the flash it speeds it up greatly
another bug i saw today... let me know if it exists. Go into any web browser and try to scroll at the very right edge of the screen in landscape. I tried this and it did not scroll. I tried this on the left side and it was no problem. I tried this after noticing the backspace on the keyboard doesn't register half the time. It seems like something is wrong with the screen on the right side. I'm wondering if the firmware update fixed this issue too.
Hi guys.
I've been noticing a strange message that occurs some times, after unlocking my GNex (4.2.2) and quickly enter Whatsapp. The screen background goes dark green, with the app logo in the middle and, at the bottom, the word "jogos" (games in Portuguese). This screen somehow remembers me the installation screen. Then, after half a second, the screen changes back to normal known chat screens.
I read that Whatsapp is moving towards gaming. Maybe this is a preloaded code to quickly permit the future launching of the inside gaming platform, as a glitch.
I'm trying hard to get a screenshot, but the screen doesn't appear very often.
Any thoughts??

What's the exact build number of the app?
Hello guys,
I am fairly new with Huawei phones and phones with a notch.
Especially when using Instagram (browisng stories), the sides of the app are being cut, like the image is just smaller than on a normal/different phone. So if there is a text just on the edge, it would be cut and you would not be able to read it.
I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it.
I heared there is something like "fullscreen mode" for apps, but when I go to Settings and click it, Instagram is not on the list. Could I disable it (cause maybe it is enabled), just for this specific app?
No root etc.
Kind regards!

Im experiencing the exact same issue. What you can do is hiding the noth in system settings. Then you`ll get Insta (including stories) in fullscreen. BUT: Then the buttons for Text, Pen, image dont react to your touches. Its a complete mess. Can you confirm the problems with touch in hide notch mode?
I will check my IG app in a sec, but I think fullscreen mode is only available for apps that don't support the display.
I think apps like IG that natively 'support' these displays just don't display in the fullscreen mode settings.

The problem still occurs with hide notch mode ON, it is a bit better, but still edges on the sides are being cropped.
@Ephixi4 yeah I reinstalled the app, but fullscreen is not an option for IG. So it seems like it is either problem with a ROM or IG problem with not displaying their content properly for different res/notches.

Yes, I checked that, too. It doesnt show the entire screen. Did you check if the buttons work properly, when hiding notch is enabled?

I use the finger print scanner instead of navigation bar, that seems to work just fine.
I really wonder if it's OS issue for cropping app like that or IG.
Hoping for workaround soon.
@Larlen so I have notch visible but I have my soft keys hidden and I use the fingerprint scanner as navigation button.
Had no issues with IG app, maybe because of that?
But it seems more that the app is not very well designed to fit these screens and notch. When you want to edit a picture the brightness toggle is cropped because of the notch.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the notch, rather an issue with the screen ratio, with the notch not hidden it's 18.7/9, and with it hidden its 18/9, and it looks like alot of the apps are not optimized for 2/1 screen ratios yet

Well, I wasnt talking about the system navigation. I use the fingerprint sensor, too. I was talking about the Instagram Buttons in Story Mode, when hiding the notch. The Buttons for editing a story pic, before you actually post it.
These Buttons (for inserting a text, or a gif etc) dont really work...
Can yoo confirm? or dont you guys just dont use instagram storys?

I can confirm this. The story buttons are not responsive. I can get them to work sometimes after tapping on them continuously but it's super annoying. However, I found out that swiping up opens the sticker menu so that's a workaround at least.

Well, yes, but when I swipe up and see the emojis, they dont react neither...
Have the same issue. The buttons are not responsive because they are in the notch area. I've found they do work when you tap below the buttons as if they were below the notch area. The phone thinks the are still in the same spot as usually but it shows them in the top corner.
My insta stories also cuts of edges from pictures I made vertically. It's because of the screen ratio. I can't get them right even if I cut it the right ratio with an other app.
Why instagram still did not updated the app. The problem annoys too much. Anyone knows a workaround?
I use the fingerprint sensor to navigate and not the classic Android bottom bar.
I just tried right now on a story: if I use instead the classic bottom bar, I can see the whole story. If I hide the bottom bar, then the story takes the full screen and it crops the edges, right and left...
As someone said, it has to do with developers and not the phone I guess.
I hope IG will fix it soon
hey guys i am using the nova3i and have the same problem. What sux more that my friend told me that even my stories are being cropped once seen by them on their devices .
I don't know if it's been like this the entire time I've owned the Z Fold 2, but I noticed my screen shifts all the way to the left or right to avoid the hole punch. When I go the full screen apps and try turning off the "hide hole punch" under advanced options, it's already turned off. Switching it on and off again doesn't do anything. The only thing I've done recently was enable Developer Options so I could change the screen width. Can someone please let me know how I can get my apps to fully stretch across the screen and not hide the hole punch?
I have the same issue. There are various options that should fix this, but don't.
* In settings, display, full screen apps, turn on the apps you want to use the full display.
* In the task changer, long press the icon for your app, choose change aspect ratio.
* In good lock, multistar, I <3 Galaxy Foldable, set aspect ratio for each app, set your apps to full screen.
You should try these, one (or multiple) of these options should fix it, but haven't for me.
Only some apps won't go full screen in landscape, but among those are chrome, outlook, kindle, whatsapp. Basically all my most used apps. Other apps use the full screen.
If someone has a working solution, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks! I've tried those options you suggested, however they did not work for me. I feel like I was getting the full screen in the app prior to today, but maybe I'm imagining it. I don't like the way the screen shifts everything over to hide the punch hole. I feel like I may as well kept my Fold 1 with the huge notch because I'm still losing all that space.
So am the only one noticing that all apps are now shifted away from the hole in landscape? The advanced setting to hide the hole is already off and when I turn it on and back off, I can see the screen moving back but then it goes back to hiding the hole even when turned off. Rebooting my phone doesn't fix it.
