YouTube Pinch - Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Is it just me or had Huawei blocked the ability to pinch to zoom/fit the whole screen?

This was annoying me for days until I figured it out
You can only pinch to zoom in one horizontal orientation. Of you flip it so that the home button swap sides it works, flip again and it stops

I can't seem to pinch no Matter what, very annoying indeed

Just received an update that fixed it, but annoying that it only works in one orientation

I'll try a reboot

Related annoyance: when pinched in, look at the notch side of the screen. The letter boxing is just not quite right. There is a little strip of video cut off from the rest.

I think Huawei wanted to avoid the notch criticism, but then why put a notch in the first place. Tbh with having the iPhone X also, personally speaking I don't mind the notch :good:

I was about to comment that its not happening on mine. But then i remember that am using vanced adfree youtube. LoL,
You guys should try to use it as well. It can force HDR, disable resolution check, completely ad free, and the best part is : background playback ! you can even turn off the screen and youtube will stay playing. very good as music player/spotify replacement
Also, it dont have that stupid notch bugs of course :silly:

My phone is rooted. So i use one available in magisk manager repo.
If you are not rooted, you can install non root version from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/page161

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!
any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.
from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

Can you take some more portrait mode picture samples? This are not very good compositions.
The Coke can does not have enough depth in the background and the wall is just plain. Try something else and line it up straight instead of top-down.
Thanks!
looks like **** still.
I snapped this one this am. Looks pretty darn good to me and it's even in a low light condition!!
Edit: for some reason the picture isn't showing up
A bush
A few more
Here's mine
Some people cannot be pleased, no matter what.
These photos are great and just fine, but if you're the sort of person hell bent of crapping on the PH-1 no matter what, then nothing from this phone's camera is going to placate you.
It's really getting boring at this time, all the hee-haw about the camera..
What does the slider on the bottom of Portrait Mode control? The bokeh/blurring effect?

from what i gathered yes but the lighting control is sort of a manual exposure control. used it with the moto x pure and it came out fantastic
To me these photos look plenty good. I am comparing them with the likes of note 7 and op3.

No fingerprint gesture?!

Oneplus 6 got rid of the swipe down for notifications gesture. Is there any way we can get it back? Maybe like the flashable zip the 5t had in omnirom? This may seem like such a small thing but it's huge for me. With this gesture I dont have to reach up to get my notifications down and thats a lot less of a chance for having the phone drop and break on me. Especially because it's all glass now.

Well, the phone hasn't practically even released at this time, so it will take a bit of time to know.
I think the reason why there are no fingerprint gestures is because of the reduction in the size of the fingerprint sensor.

Ahh, thanks for giving it a try and letting me know before I get my hands on the device. Hopefully the developer updates the app to make it compatible with the 6! (if possible)
Quite upset about the removal of this feature as well. It was really useful. I'll be looking out for it / monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a solution. Wish OnePlus would simply add it back.
Workaroud
I followed this guide and it seems to be the only app that works with my OP6
android.gadgethacks.com/how...e-notification-gesture-other-devices-0174514/
just add https before it as i can't post links yet
would be amazing to get swipe gestures, especially while reading ebooks or articles, its so convenient scrolling and reading with one hand and a coffee in the other

It does work if you download the app from the guide and enable foreground activity.
I've been using it for the past 24 hours with no issues (just the annoying android notification that there is an app running in the background which I hid so now all good)

I find this works well when you set it up for tap to toggle notification tray and enable foreground services under the non-exposed settings.
Any more updates on this? It's quite annoying they've not included that feature

Lack of symmetry when Notch is hidden

I might be nitpicking here and this is more a UX thing but when you hide the notch and use the phone, the corners of the bezel on the top aren't as curved as the one at the bottom. Although, a third party app would probably fix that (temporarily) but I'm not really ok giving a third party app usage access for a gimmick that OnePlus could so easily add in a future update. Is there a feature request thread where I could post this to?
Agree with you. Noticed it also. Hopefully fixed in future update.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk
I understand where your coming from because that was my initial thought too.
However after thinking about it, probably the reason they've only slightly curved the top of the screen when the notch is hidden is to preserve screen retail. If it had a large curve to match the bottom they would have likely had to move everything down to accommodate it. Look at the URL bar in Chrome to see what I mean. It wouldn't work very well.
Of course this would be solved by not having a daft curved screen in the first place.

I agree. But this does give me the impression that hiding the notch was a feature implemented at the last minute and that shows in the lack of UX that it provides. Hopefully it can be improved with future updates.
You can just use an app like round corner to fix this

Question Play full-screen video?

Hello.
I just saw that apps like Prime Video or HBO Max, do not play the videos in full screen leaving the area where the camera is with a large black margin.
On the contrary, YouTube or Netflix do occupy the entire screen.
Do you know if there is a way to change it so that it looks like occupying the entire screen?
Before I had a Samsung that in the settings of the mobile let change that the front camera was seen (occupying the video the full screen) or that the camera was not seen (leaving a black area on that side of the screen).
Thank you.
