Hey guys,
I'm very happy with my Z Fold 2 but ine thing annoys me: whenever I send my friends a snap they either complain for the picture being sized as a square or that something on both sides is missing, e.g. some text I've written on the pic... Any ideas/recommendations how to fix that?
I've linked 3 pictures below. First is taken with the Fold being Open (7,6" Mode), second has been taken with the Fold being closed and the third is how the picture should be (taken by my S20Ultra 5G).
Thank you for any help in advance!
Greetings from Germany

Hi! I am happy to say I've found a fix for this.
You have to download an app called GoodLock from the Galaxy App Store (not available in the Google Play Store unfortunately) and then after install, go to MultiStar, download and install inside the GoodLock app, then once installed tap the first menu option (I <3 Galaxy Foldable - screenshots attached) and then "Set aspect ratio for each app" and scroll til you reach Snapchat and select 18.5:9 to have your Snapchat finally take photos like everyone else's phone and not cut off the images.
Note that this will only work in unfolded mode when taking photos with Snapchat - it won't resize on the front cover screen.
Greetings from Australia - hope it fixes your issue!
Thank u very much. Gonna try this one later and then I'll let u know
Edit: everything worked like a charm, thank u so much!

I have a Nexus 6p and I'm trying to apply a personal photo to the stock digital watchface (installed on watch by default). It doesn't seem to apply the photo.
This worked perfectly on my note 4 (I understand that it was a samsung phone), but i know when you pick your own photo it supposed to take you to a screen where you can crop and adjust how the photo will appear in the watchface. However that edit screen is not even loading up...just wondering if anyone on the board was having this issue or is there something i'm supposed to do on my Nexus to allow this feature to work. I would really love to apply my own photo to the digital watchface again.
Thanks all
Nothing?
No suggestions or anything?
I have the same problem I can only assume it's something to do with the google photos app
I have a solution! As expected, the Google photos app was the problem. I tried downloading various others with no joy, until I tried Gallery Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.badpigsoftware.advanced.gallery
If you select this app when choosing your image, the crop image page comes up and you can select the image you want
Hope this helps

hi
im using samsung galaxy note 4.
i know i can take a scrolling screenshot of things with the note 4.
dont know if i can do what i want with the included apps.
im searching for an app that can let me stitch pictures together. For example if i take a scrolling screenshot, i would like to be able to add more picture/screenshot on it later on. Also i would like the app to have a delete funktion, for example if i take a scrolling screenshot of a chat conversation, i would like to be able to delete some parts from that screenshot. Would also be a plus if you can write and mark things on the app.
Is there such a app available ? i have tried to find one but did not success.

My favorite is Longshot. Manual mode is superb.

Can't do writing/marking on pictures though.
the default app on the s8+ now for taking notes is called Samsung Notes not S Note.
when i tried to install it on the s8+ it says incompatible version a few days ago in the samsung store and the play store. Now, if i search for s note in either store, s note doesn't even come up (i' guessing because it's incompatible)
after coming from a note 7 -> s7 edge which was running the s note app just fine i find it unacceptable. For some reason only a fraction of the s notes i have , can sync with this new Samsung Notes app eg 10 out of 300+. so i can't access any of my old notes.
nor does this samsung notes app manage to do what s note functionality could do... eg take picture of slides at a conference and have the app auto crop the slide picture for you and the adjust the skew angle .
anyone got a solution ?
Samsung planned to ditch S note and try to bring the functionality to Samsung Note... This was started during Note 7...as the functionality is not replicated.. Both was working... May be thought to remove it completely out and enhance when note 8 drops.
If you notice that, samsung renamed S health to Samsung health last week

i extracted the s note app 5.2.01-25. and the extension pack. installed it on the s8+ and all my notes sync'ed
still seems to be missing the photo note functionality though in the s note app though, which is a major issue for me taking pictures of slides in lectures and conferences.
is there any other app that can correct and straighten ,and autocrop slides like the photo note function in s note ?

I my case all i did,
was on my S8+, (S Notes app)
selected S Notes , settings, to sync with my Samsung account.
It automatically imported all my notes from my Note 5.
Further,
Take a look at screenshots.
Is this what you are looking for. Photo note?
Yes, no ?
If so its still present in S Notes .
Sorry first screenshot
of pkt Raisins,( I'm busy eating)
bottom half is camera Unfortunately pic. it's not clear.
Sorry trying to edit my attachments post on my phone., couldn't.
Here's the 2 Snapshots again.
Hope it's clear.
Not sure if this what you are asking about.
that picture u've put up in s note, allows the ability to insert a photo.
not a photo note.
the difference with photo note is , if u sat in a lecture at say a 45deg angle to the powerpoint slide shown on screen and insert photo note, u can take a picture and the app auto straightens out the slide and crops it to the slide shown even though u are sitting at a 45deg angle and not sitting straight on to the slide shown. this is opposed to inserting just a photo which would show a small slide at a 45deg angle and the rest of the lecture room ! big difference.
see the attached picture
see the option for photo note which is missing on the s8 even when s note with extension pack is installed. this function is present on the s note app on the s7 edge
update:
managed to extract the photo note extension apk out of the s7 edge and install onto the s8+. now have photo note functionality again !
strange thing is there was note photo note extension to extract out of my note edge ! seems like it was already there in the s note app on the note edge

May I just get a copy please?
Hi again! I can believe that OP didnt give us the option to record video with the wide angle lens. I've found it very useful. So, searching a little bit, i find this code *#*#1597#*#* that you put in dialer, to open de developer camera api.
Digging into the app, i realize that you CAN record 1080p video with the wide lens, so.. theres any mod to skip this awful step, copying the code, everytime i wanna use this function?
I dont know why we dont have this option native in the app.
PS: sorry for my bad english!

What are you talking about? I dont understand. The black background on a portrait mode is a Samsung Feature, for example.
You're holding it wrong.
Why won't phone manufacturers fix this obvious problem?
IE, when the phone is held vertically the capture is still a proper 16x9 wide screen?
Vertical video capture is ruining everything!

Hey! Calm down. That was just a test. I think we would be more open mind. Some content its better to see in horizontal, other content its better in vertical. Im a photographer and sometimes, there are stories that are better to told in vertical, cuz i wanna told you something in that form, for example, this pics here: the vertical one, have a special touch, a unique point of view im comparison to the horizontal one

Sorry if I came off sounding harsh, it's a major pet peeve of mine!
Still photos in portrait orientation are fine obviously.
It's the video that's the issue.
A simple solution to this problem can be fixed on all devices, not sure why the manufacturers don't implement it!
I don't have the wide angle option. Clicking multiple times and only switches between 1x and 3x

Hey! Hello!
You have to open the front camera and switch again to rear camera. You will see in red (Wide).

Hi to all.
Happy with my Fold 2. Would be extremely happy if I could make one mod without root:
If apps (and UI if possible) would behave as if though there was no punch hole!
I'm not talking about the setting to change the aspect ratio of an app.
Some apps don't work properly even if you do that.
Any way to just make the phone work like it had no camera at all at the front (of the big screen)?
Please keep in mind that a)I'm not a programmer , just a user
and b)I don't want to root my device.
Thanks in advance

This is what you want, very easy to enable. The video shows the Note 20 Ultra but it also goes for the Z Fold 2.
Settings/Display/Full screen apps/advanced settings (tap upper right 3 dot icon)/Enable camera cutout.
Thanks but nope.

Thanks for your reply my friend but that's exactly what I want to avoid in the first place.
I want all apps and ui to use Full Screen without a black bar.
In other words all apps to use all the screen real estate like there is no camera there. Most games and apps do that but not all and browser also leaves that part blank when in landscape mode.
I know it can be done but I don't know how
Thanks for your reply though.

I heard there is a way to do it by connecting the phone to a pc and typing an ADB command (if I'm saying it correctly) but I havent located the article or the way. All I know is that it can be done, but apparently there is no simple way. Maybe a more experienced member can enlighten us.
You can download multistar together with tasker and autotools. Should give you the desired result without the needs of root.
