Huge app selection on outer screen - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone so I've noticed my edge panel app selector is huge on my outer screen I've seen pictures and videos of other people and theirs is properly scales to the screen. Would anyone know why mine is so big? I'm running the US unlocked variant with 400dpi on outer screen and 900 dpi inner screen.

Screenshot

It looks normal. Just Remove some apps if you want a single row.

It takes up to almost 50% of the screen. I've seen others where it looks like my S20 Ultra which is just a small section on the right.

You are comparing to different devices and screens..

I've seen other galaxy fold 2 screenshot where it is scaled similar to my S20 Ultra.
Sorry if I didn't word it correctly.

Without pictures for proof. I don't believe it.

Looks a lot like mine.

Same here

Next Launcher 3.7.3.1
I just can't believe this OLD launcher that's a bit buggy on 8.0> is actually usable on Android 10 on the Fold2 (with the same and a couple more quirks as my V20 on 8.0).

Looks like it's normal. I wish we could scale it to our own liking. Thanks guys.

The issue the OP is complaining from is actaully due to the fact that certain display minimum width values (above a certain threshold) would cause some widgtes(e.g device care widget) and icons to go large (i dont know wheather it's because it triggers tablet mode or not). Try to set display zoom to default values in the settings and it should return to the correct scaling designed natively.

Changing the Dpi doesn't change the pull-out menu..

Tablet quicker with black wallpaper?

So i have just rooted my tablet and with a few quirks it works awesome. sometimes the wallpaper will black out and come back but thats not my issue. my issue is that the tablet is so much faster, on the homescreen anyway. the apps open and transfer so quickly i might just keep it like that. anyone else get this weird, uh thing?

Well i don't know about a black wallpaper but the tablet is definitely smooth with all the system wallpapers.
Obviously the more pixels it has to render the slower it is. Colours are more intensive than a lack of colour (black). And a live wallpaper is the most cpu-intensive.
yea that makes sense but to have the difference be that substantial is pretty ridiculous. having a live wallpaper and being a little jerky here and there is fine but the difference from stock wallpaper to no wallpaper and high res ones is insane
No, it's not insane. You appear to forget we're talking about 1920 by 1200 pixels. That's 2304000 pixels. If they're black, nothing has to be rendered, the value is simply 0.
Any photoshopper can tell you more colour means more resources used, and the bigger the image the more it lags.

The black background still has to be rendered, otherwise you would see the old content that was there before. And obviously, any solid color uses the same amount of resources.
I see what you're saying and it makes sense but shouldn't a device of this stature not be so affected from this? My evo when both on blank wallpaper and a high res one there is no difference in how fast the tablet works and especially how fast apps open. In the tablet though, its very night and day.

I work on a uni computer especially dedicated to heavy rendering and photoshopping. It runs two GTX 680 2GB in sli, an Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition overclocked at 4.2ghz and 32GB ram. (And they won't let me game on it... ) If I try to scroll on a 200% zoom 5000x5000px canvas all black, it's gliding on ice. If I do the same on one with more than 8 colours, it lags more and more as more colours are added. This is basic physics.

Yes that's true. The colour itself doesn't really matter, just the amount of different colours.

Galaxy s6 edge vs s6 displays

Even with the same background wallpaper, display mode, the s6 edge seems to be slightly darker (the choice of colours). This is easily seen in the orange colours of within the messaging app, when you compare both side by side.
This difference exists even when both are set to 100% or both to auto (mainly because I read that they both have difference max brightness).
Thoughts?

The screens on the S6 and the edge are actually not identical, so there are some slight variances between them.

1080p as standard !!!!!

Yup, this was pretty obviously stated and samsung did tell people. You can turn the resolution up if you require also.
1920/1080 is 1080p....so 1080P+
:laugh:
its a little more than 1080p. Also I speak from experience that you can not tell a difference unless you are looking for it. It is the same screen resolution on the S7's with nougat.
Yep it is. Lets not blow this out of proportion people if you want QHD+ its in the settings under display.

I couldnt tell on my oneplus 3T, the screen was great.
QHD on a phone is overkill. It's a nice-to-have if you're trying to watch a movie, but other than that it's purely excessive. If someone showed you a 1080p and a QHD display on the S8 or even the s8 plus, I can all but guarantee you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I sure can't with my S7E.
The problem is not that 1080p looks bad. The problem is that this display has a set number of width and height pixels which is defined as 2960 x 1440. So if you want to display a picture which is 2220 x 1080 in a display which size isn't a multiple of the picture you have to interpolate. You somehow need to have just 1080 pixels in a row where there are supposed to be 1440. Why don't they go with 720p instead? Well I guess it would also look shi**y :/
Just my thoughts, I have never seen a S7 or S8 display.
EDIT: I just think about this from a delevoper perspecive. The developer thinks: Let's make a black 2px line there -> it's a 2px line.
Because you cant fit a multiple of 1080 in 1440 the interpolation would make a 2,66px line. As you know you cant color 0.66 parts of a pixel black. So most likely the whole pixel will be black which results in a 3px black line where there should be a 2,66px line. As this happens with every pixel of the display the image won't just get inaccurate but also the GPU has to do some very unnecessary scaling work.

It's the same as changing the resolution of a computer or monitor display. The interpolation isn't the issue, every manufacture has that down pat. 720p would make a noticeable difference, even in basic browsing and function. 1080p is enough that on a screen the size of the S8 or S8+ you wouldn't be able to see the individual (or interpolated) pixels.

I didn't say that this is not the same. But when I buy a 1080p monitor, I use it in 1080p because thats what it is intended for. You won't see pixels on a 500+ ppi device. But the image will be totally unaccurate and that's not what I generally like to look at. I just tried this in photoshop and the effect is even worse than I thought and demonstrated by that example picture in my last post. Here's what it'll really look like. You want to look at this? Of course it will be very small pixels but do you really don't mind?! I know I do.

That's not at all what it will really look like. Doing something in photoshop is not even close to how it will look in real life. Please look at the phone before you assume what it will look like. I just switched my phone from 1080p to QHD and back again, and I literally cannot tell the difference, even with my face pressed inches away from the phone.

You can't negotiate with the pixel science
Most likely the pixels are just to small to see a difference but I will take a look at the phone when I get it to judge wether switching to 1440p or not

But don't forget these OLED panels use a diamond pentile subpixel arragement, so the interpolation isn't quite the same as a traditional RGB LCD monitor.
It's REALLY REALLY difficult to tell the difference between QHD and 1080p on the S7. At more than about a foot, it's nearly impossible to tell. I know what you're saying, I hate running monitors at non-native resolutions.
If it bugs you that much, just change it.
If lower resolution gets me another 1hr SOT per day, I'll drop all the way to the bottom. Can't tell the diff.
I just changed to 1080 p on my S7E (was at the highest rez setting). Really can't see a difference. Icons and keyboard are a bit larger. Texts are a bit bigger. But as far as sharpness, look of the display, not an issue. Just going to test and see if this makes a difference much on SOT or not. I can always change back to the highest rez setting if I want - takes about 30 seconds to do.

The initial change of setting could change aspect ratios, but a quick restart should fix it.

I use Nova launcher, Swype and Handcent texting app. It changed the size of icons, the size of font, the size of the keyboard and the size of the texts (the bubbles and text font). It did increase the size on all of those. Also increased the size of the quick settings, etc. It's not a big deal, but it did increase the size of things a bit. Has caused no problems so far otherwise.

Problem: Screen Horizontal Lines When Dim in 120hz and low light

Hi,
My Note 20 ultra has some Display problems.
When my phone is on a lower brightness and Adaptive(120Hz) refresh rate setting on a grey background, I can see all sorts of funky horizontal lines across it.
(except gallery - i think the refresh rate reduce to 60hz in gallery automatically so in gallery you can't see the problem).
I see them big time on settings screens or Apps where there is a gradient of gray.
see the attached Picture. Two pics with 120Hz(Adaptive) Display Refresh Rate and others with 60hz!
Note: the problem seems to be more than real in these pictures because of camera, with eyes you can't see such this bad!
Any one here with this problem?
Is this something wrong with the phone? Or is that normal?

Is that in a completely dark room?
If you're not using a incandescent light source for room lighting that may cause it.
Otherwise regardless of screen brightness or display frequency it should be not be showing anything except what's being displayed.
At that price it better be spot on.
Yes, that's in a completely dark room.
The horizontal lines is static, not moving. And you can see just in Gray Backgrounds with lowest brightness and 120hz.
screen lines
Hi. I just got my Note 20 Ultra and I have the same problem. I see streaks in my photos. If I switch between 60 and 120Hz, sometimes the lines disappear, but not always.

Not good. Was thinking maybe background LED lighting might be "strobing" it.
Probably a firmware issue but could hardware is my guess.
Maybe software... try clearing the system cache on boot menu, a hard reboot and clearing graphic driver data even if it reads zero. If you have PD MDM use that to clear instead of in Settings.
Mine does the same. I think they all do it some people just don't notice it.

Do you normally use that low a level at night?
I have excellent center vision; my 10+ goes dimmer than I will ever use. No flicker or color anomalies though.
It may be the physical hardware limits of the device or they may eventually patch a firmware flaw.
They also may have inadvertently set the lower limit of the brightness too low...
If it doesn't effect night usage I might ignore it.
Samsung can be notoriously slow at fixing firmware/software glitches in their products.
Amazingly even after almost 2 years they are still patching both firmware and software on the original Buds. They now perform much better then a year ago. Crazy.

Frankly it's always visible since I know what to look for. when I'm not looking for the it, it's when it's really annoying to see.
I have a note 9 and a 10+ which I still daily drive both on their own sims. The difference in screens is very noticeable. The 120 hz mode is the problem. Put the phone in full resolution and it's way better.
The screen on the n20u is less vibrant than my other notes, but it's more color accurate so I like that.

That's seems annoying. Guess using a lower frequency at night be the easiest solution. Sammy throws out a lot of betaware that needs more work...
On the 10+ Pie the display settings are goofy for screen mode. If you set it to "vivid" it's way oversaturated. Natural is the best setting but you have little ability to dail it in much more than that.
I'm curious about these controls on the 20U and Q.
Any improvement?

Honestly don't notice a difference switching between the two in n20u, on note 10+ yes big difference.
So I tried the green slider mod setting where you dial it all the way down under advanced display setting.
Its not much of a difference, it does reduce it a little. The screen becomes purple dominant obviously but the green fringes still show.

On the 10+ the color sliders are weak too.
A 3rd party overlay app works but is a pain.
Overlay apps won't work with Q though I believe.
Rather sloppy of Goggle and Samsung... this is an ongoing issue with Androids; no color calibration
Fortunately the 10+'s aren't too bad but it the color blind coders need to get up to speed...
Androids need color calibration.
OLEDS are horrible sceens, but similarly to screen-to-body ratio we have brightness race now, a useless but review-happy attribute which does help your eyes only in very rare situations. Otherwise it makes your eyes tired with pulsing. For use in dark these screens are bad. You will also got ugly backbleeding as a bonus. Horror movies are unwatchable.
I have this with each phone nowadays, and there's no escape from it. I can see the lines on Note20U too, of course. It even blinks when you're tired. The backbleeding is rather uniform tho and not so intensive.
Funny as I use mobile 90% in dark, i prefer dark mode, and i like dark movies Killer trio.

It's not the OLEDs that are the issue as the display on my 10+ is the best display I ever used.
It's the firmware/drivers and perhaps the >60 hz hardware. It's very disconcerting that it's not sorted out yet.
Well that's Samsung. It may be fixed. Samsung just pushed out yet another Buds+ firmware update today. Wow. They keep trying, I'll give them that... the best the Buds+ ever sounded.
So there's hope. The bad news is it will most likely need to be a firmware update if it is fixable.
Flashing the Buds is a lot easier (and less risky) than patching the bloody phone firmware.
Based on issues like this and the abomination that Q and above are, I may simply buy another backup 10+ 512gb phone running on Pie and call it good for the next 3 years.
Both Samsung and Goggle/Android have been practicing drop the ball like drooling kindergarten ftards lately

I choose max resolution as i can see the difference, i dont see any difference between 60, 96 and 120 Hz unless i go to a test site. I also dont like constant screen flickering that occurs with the adaptive mode so for me i like the consistent 60 Hz at Max resolution. I have no games that use 120 Hz if i did then i would change to 120 Hz before starting the game.
120Hz no question for me, I couldn't even see the difference between FHD+ and QHD+ on my S20U, haven't bothered even trying it on my N20U
120Hz all the way. I can not see the difference in resolution anyway. Plus I have a 1440P monitor if I "need" things bigger.
Max resolution has way less screen artifacts.
Also doesn't have the green tint and color banding, or resolution lines the 120hz produces.
I have mine at 96hz and a bixby routine setup to change the res and refresh rate to Qhd/standard for certain apps. Mainly, streaming services. Once I close out, it changes back to 1080/adaptive.
We all see / perceive differently.
My preference is 120hz adaptive refresh rate.

Go in a dark room, even though I can distinguish them in normal lighting.
Here's an easy way to see them,
Download google messages if you don't already use it, use dark mode. Create a message thread, keep it blank for best results, hit the search and then drop the keyboard down. That background is perfect to showcase the green tint, color banding and uneven tone at the same time.
On my note 10+ and note 9 it's a perfect even grey.
I've tried that background with every note 20u on display in best buy with same distortions showing up.
The samsung reps even noticed it after asking me what I was doing lol.
My best friend is a regional manager for tmobile and he's noticed all the handsets he's looked at have it too.
I really do believe every n20u has this issue, if not every north america n20u has it.
If you don't notice it, try another phone and compare them side to side, it's should be obvious then.

Is it not Google messages with the tint? You should be able to replicate it with any dark screen not just Google Messages, if it is the display itself.

No because on my note 9 and 10+, my girlfriend's pixel 4 its a solid grey background without the artifacts.
I'm just letting you guys know the easiest way for you guys to see it. It definitely shows up on all of Google's apps that use that dark mode background
I chose max resolution at 60Hz, the battery endurance matters to me especially when I'm using Exynos..
I also respect those who like to have 120Hz at 1080p, that unavoidable smoothness definitely matters.
I wish it had a bigger battery & ran at 1440p at 120Hz.

Is it not Google messages with the tint? You should be able to replicate it with any dark screen not just Google Messages, if it is the display itself.

Its not the messages he is trying to give you an easy reference color, the default dark mode background color of google msgs makes it easy. One can download grey wallpapers to see the same effect.
Max resolution for me. Don't notice a difference at 120hz

I keep mine at 60hz and 1080p. Can't really tell the difference in resolution from full and qhd. And I can tell the difference in 60 and 120hz but only if I go looking for it. I'd rather have battery life than gimmicks. Although I do switch over to 120hz for the 1 or 2 games I play that support it. Really the only place the faster refresh is an advantage.

I guess I still don't get it, that or I got a lucky one. I don't use google messages, but I did put a plain gray screen on and I don't see any green. I don't have any issues with the google apps that I use either (maps, youtube, youtube music).
Max resolution here as well.

May be or if you have note 8 or 9 or 10 try putting the same wallpaper on both the phones and see. i think i uploaded a side by side pic somewhere on the forum of a note 8 and note 20 Ultra having same wallpaper you can see the difference.
120Hz is so smooth and enjoyable so I stick with it.
I never experienced any flickering or issue so far.
