youtube zoom not working - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello devs,
I recently purchased s8+ and after few hours of user pinch to zoom started working on youtube.
However, recently after 22nd feb youtube update youtube zoom has stopped working.
I tried force closing youtube, clearing data for the app but it didn't work.
I tried clearing the device cache in recovery mode but that didn't help either.
I tried downgrading the youtube version by removing the system app and installing an older version. That didn't help either.
I also enabled the video enhancer and changing the performance mode to entertainment. But, all in vein.
Surprisingly same version of youtube app is installed on my lg g6 and that works flawless. So, my hunch is this is to do something with our device.
Have you encountered this issue? Or, if you have resolved it using some method? If yes, please comment.
Thanks

I'm also experiencing this. My brother has the same phone with the same YouTube version and he can pinch to zoom, yet I cannot.
We are both completely stock on AT&T.

It doesn't work on all videos, i notice mainly the low res ones you cant zoom in.

I have this same problem. whatever they did in the last update broke it. I have the Canadian S8+.

Desire S problem HW video and camera on cm kernel

I have a problem with the camera and video hardware to all custom firmware which are based on cyanogenmod kernel. Camera work but does not move and hardware video on player don*t move. On firmware are based on stock all right work. I've tried everything hboot and recovery but result is the same. Install Miui 2.1.6.08 then install kernel UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 is the only variant when camera well works but hardware video does not work at all. I hope to help developers!
another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437945
Start a new thread because of that everyone devs is silent. May be see here.
I've got this very same issue. I was on MIUI 1.12.30 and on Lowveld's Reaper v1.1, both really good ROMs but for some reason, the camera preview window freezes after a couple of seconds. pictures come out ok though. same thing when playing videos either through a browser or even a local video file saved in the sd card, the video playback would freeze after a couple of seconds but the audio is normal.
if viewing video camera captured in program mode it shows normally but the problem remains
If viewing video touch on the screen then video moves and camera too
The same problem
I have the same problem - any help would be really appreciated.
i have got the same problem here.
tried to use Reaper 3.0 but got the camera problem.
miui,endymion and blindice works well with the camera on my DS.
i got hboot 2.00.0002, sense 3.0 and S-ON
the app "pudding camera" works for me as a half solution, since it only takes pictures and no video, but the camera is working with this app.
hope there will be a solution soon
i know its been month since the last post
I am on reaper v3 and my camera and videocamera are working.
UNfortunately i just don't get the same good pics as with sense roms.
It's a real shame, as i take many pictures and at the same time i couldnt live without reaper rom. it's just perfect, apart from the camera thing.
im using lg camera and sometimes get better results, but in low light the noise is really unbearable. tried different settings of iso and stuff but nothing.
i dont know about developing, so sorry is the question is dumb but using a different kernel would help?

Z5 main camera can´t record videos after .224 update

Hello
i´m just wondering because i don´t find much to read about it.
After i upgraded to 6.0.1 my main camera can record one video after boot. then the camera app fc.
Front camera and taking pictures working fine.
After a reboot video recording (might) work again once.
If that occures also video playback via mxplayer, album and youtube don´t work.
I already reflashed the latest firmware, used stock rom´s and different kernels. Nothing solves my problem.
Luckily i found an old 6.0 backup so i restored that to see if it´s maybe smth hardware related.
But no. With the "old" 6.0 backup camera working good again.
So anyone has similar issues or ideas?
Thank you

Question: Snapchat & General Performance issues

Is anyone else having problems with the performance in Snapchat & Instagram?
Especially the camera / zoom is literally unusable due to lag.
Also heavy lag occures in Instagram (swipe right/left animation)
Huawei's own gallery app also feels very very clunky!!
I know some apps are not optimized properly, especially Snapchat, but I switched from my S7 and I never had these problems. Like I said the zoom feature in Snapchat and Instagram is literally broken.
I did not do a factory reset yet because I wanted to know if there are other people who experienced this.

Currently having same problems here. Any fix?
Yeah Snapchat is a total piece of garbage. On Instagram occasional stutters IIRC.

Scrolling performance?

Hi,
I have the P30 for about 5 days now and from the first day i have some issues with scrolling in Youtube and Chrome, it`s very chpppy. In other apps is fine even though its not fast is smooth. Anyone have this problem? I have the latest update .124 and i did reset it once but the problem persist. I had an HTC U11 and it was super smooth in both Youtube and Chrome.
I also noticed this. As soon as a Youtube video is playing it gets laggy. Same for Firefox, sometimes it just stops, then jumps. Seems to be normal, i hope they'll fix this. That's the one thing i loved about Sony phones: They're so damn smooth.
I noticed this too. It's fine at first, but once a preview video starts to play on the main feed, it gets choppy, but only when scrolling down. Scrolling back up remains smooth.
Haven't noticed this so far. Made a quick test on YouTube, with and without video playing and the scrolling is smooth. Only if I scroll very fast and it has to load more videos it will get stuck from told to time but I think that's normal

i dont think so.. I have a oneplus 3 and its pretty smooth in youtube videos.. I bought a p30 5 days ago and in noticed the laggy youtube too. Hope it fix soon
I've noticed this also. I've also seen a few reviewers report this.
Hopefully sorted in a future update.
Experiencing choppy scrolling as well. Mostly in Chrome on pages with lots of ads, videos and photos. Not having any issues in YouTube though.
No laggy issues with firefox app in youtube page
I got my P30 2 days ago, and updated to the latest EMUI out of the box. Tried replicating the issue, based on the descriptions above, but have thus far been unsuccessful (which is good!).
Yesterday i updtated the youtube app and no more laggy issues!!!
I'm still having the issue even though I updated the phone and youtube.
another issue is in google maps when you start the navigation tool.. the laggy in youtube persists when you watch the video in 1080p 60fps...
I notice it's a bit choppy when I'm playing SimCity Buildit and I visit other players' cities. Is it something to do with the refresh rate for those apps, maybe? Could that be clashing with the P30 refresh rate?
version 161 is still very choppy laggy in video playing apps (e.g. YouTube)

I have version 161 and it's still very laggy and choppy whenever video is playing.
So i tested my P30 and no issue in youtube app. In chrome when scrolling sometimes it is laggy because the animated ads start oalying when scrolling. Beside that no issues. Im on 161 firmware.
Just bought P30. The phone is fast but scrolling in bluetooth(when searching for device) and YouTube makes me a little angry... I hope they will fix this soon.

Same here. The scrolling is also very slow on some apps ( not choppy, just slow).
Same here, got a Huawei p30 some days ago, awsome device but Youtube app get's low frame drops and choppy when:
- Scrolling comments while video is playing (if video goes pause, it's smooth)
- When going to wide full screen, videos seems to have lower framerate (not 60)
- When autorotating the screen from vertical to portrait and forth
Is there any way to adivice Huawei or Google about this? plenty of post in even other sites has the same issue with Youtube.
Exactly same issues on my device. Waiting for fix.

Problem with Full-screen Video Playback

Hello everyone,
I just recently switched from a HTC U11 to this wonderful MI 10 Pro and I couldn't be happier.
There's just one little thing that I realized and I don't know where I did something wrong in my settings or if it's a ROM issue.
Whenever I watch a Video in full screen, the phone kinda cuts off the sides (probably to fit in the full screen instead of putting a black bar over/under the video).
I find this quite annoying because I'm sometimes missing out on important information that's sometimes written on the screen.
This happens with all apps I tried (Instagram/IGTV, YouTube and Kiwi Browser).
Have you experienced that behavior before and how did you solve it?
I attached a Screenshot on how it actually looks like.
EDIT: I'm on MIUI Global 11.0.10.0
Have you tried pinch to zoom out?

Pinch to zoom only works on YouTube and only on horizontal videos. Not working on Instagram at all, Browser at all or on vertical videos on YouTube ?
Are there any settings somewher in the system that I need to check?
