Is there? Since I don't use video calling can it be used to take pictures?
ok nevermind I found the option.
Bro, please share..........
when you go into the camera app tap the screen to show the options, tap the gear wheel in the bottom right corner and in the menu that pops up tap the icon in the bottom left
Why
Ok, maybe you do not have a mirror at you but... why to take a lo quality pictures?? You can use the rear cam to take 3.2 mp, not vga...
yea but since I don't use the camera for video calling I can at least use it to look at myself
no icon for me in bottom left
so weird but i dont have an icon in the botom left its blank lol, i wonder if its the elite rom im using or something else? anyone have an idea mabey?

I agree . I use it also for that purpose when there is no mirror near. Last time I used it to see the blood all over my face when I hit my head to a traffic signs edge due to a lack of visibility caused by a way too big hood

perhaps you have bigger issues to deal with than tweaking your PDA.
Hello,
Is there a tweak or possibilty or tool to let the camera app record video without the camera app visible onscreen. The app must be visible onscreen or it stops recording :/
Let's say you want to do other things on your phone and record video in the meantime. Now every time I leave the camera application (without closing it) and let's say phone someone then the camera stops recording .
Thx in advance.
Anyone has an idea?
iteresting thing.. i dont found any else app.
Sorry i cant help..
I do have another question I've been meaning to ask tho...
Has any one else noticed this..
When you have camera app open ready to take a picture, if you press the black between buttons on the right hand side it makes a Grey dotted box flash around the picture, noticed it helps with the picture taking time, almost like a "hold button half way to prime a digital camera"
Am I tripping or am I right??
Just not heard of any one else ever mentioning this...
Can't help either

I think you mean the frame showing what is actually being captured on your picture (instead of the whole 'wide' view you have before taking the picture).

Sorry you've confused me..
When I open the camera app, it opens full screen with 3 icons,
Flash, shutter(take picture) and settings..
I presume every one else is the same (exept possibly cooked roms)..
When you press settings tab and all the settings are around the screen pop up..
Press the gap between the shutter button and the settings button(a dotted box will show clearly around the middle flashing for a couple of seconds)
Now take a picture, measure the time it takes from you pressing and the picture capture..
Now do the same as you normally would.. Press the shutter..
Just seems way faster with the flashy box going than without.
Can you tell me why?
friendly bump.
I am wondering what it does as well.
I'm sorry, it took me some time to figure it out.
I think this is described in the manual on page 240.
Particulary at the footnote:
'Note If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.'
Is this what you mean?
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.
Sent from my EML-L29 using XDA Labs
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 .
EdgeBlock prevents accidental touches along screen edges when you are holding your phone. This is especially useful on the latest phones with curved screen edges and very thin bezels.
I had been having a terrible time watching movies on my OnePlus 7 Pro, my fingers kept accidentally touching the edge of the screen, which caused problems like the video skipping ahead or bring up the cast dialog. another big problem was with the Camera, I kept accidentally changing focus and even closing the app. So I looked on the Play Store and found a few apps that do this, but none of them were satisfactory, so I made my own app.
The big difference between EdgeBlock and the others is you can specify different settings for portrait, landscape and fullscreen mode. Another important improvement in EdgeBlock is that it properly supports gesture modes and notches. The blocked area will always be at the screen edge.
Another huge advantage with EdgeBlock is that it does not require Accessibility Services or any other intrusive permissions. The only permission required is Draw/Display over other apps. As with all my apps, it is ad-free and does not harvest your data.
I have been using this since last summer, but only recently had the time to polish it an release on the Play Store. During that time I've optimized the app for all use cases.
Per app mode - Not needed!
I know one of the first questions I will get is about per app mode. I did create a per-app mode originally, but found it is not needed! Once you enable EdgeBlock there is no need to change the settings for different apps, it just works. You also have a lot of control using the settings for portrait, landscape and fullscreen. Some users my disable EdgeBlock in portrait and landscape, but enable EdgeBlock in fullscreen mode.
The biggest problem with a per-app mode is that it requires either the App Usage permission or an Accessibility Service. The app usage permission works, but must constantly poll for the foreground app. This is an unnecessary waste of resources and battery life. The Accessibility method would work better, but requires an Accessibility service. I do not think an Accessibility service is warranted, since the app functions perfectly without it and I want to keep the app as light as possible.

@flar2
Would it be possible to use this method to block access to the top edge on the lockscreen to prevent access to the quick settings?
Thanks

not sure if you are aware, but there is an LSPosed module that does this, called 'NoQSInLockScreen'. works great for me
This is exactly what I'm looking for but it doesn't really work. If you are touching the blocked area while in app, you are unable to touch anything else within the same app. For example if you open Chrome and then place your finger on the edge blocker and with your other hand try to scroll up and down it won't let you scroll because you're touching something else on the screen. As soon as you stop touching the edge blocker you're able to scroll again.
Unless Im doing something wrong or not understanding how this app is intended to be used.
So if I'm playing a game and any part of either one of my hands is touching along the edge other movements within the game get confused because I'm touching the edge as well as trying to make a different move within the game itself.

After a little further testing three of the edges work exactly how I need them to work. But one edge does not. The edge at the top of the phone regardless of orientation does not allow you to touch it and touch something else within the same app. So this is The edge that would have the front facing camera. Basically the edge that would be the top of your phone.
Hi there, I'm currently on S22 Ultra 8/128 (upgraded from note8).
Since I bought the phone, I noticed stock camera app is very laggy when I rotate the phone. I tried to figure it out and found that on the stock camera app, when I rotate the phone, not only the camera app but the whole UI rotates, and that creates the lag issue. You can try 2 methods to understand the issue.
1. Open the message chathead and open the camera. When you rotate the camera, the chathead will change its position from vertical side to horizontal side (depends which direction you rotate the phone). On note8, the system doesn't work like this. When you rotate the camera (with the rotation locked vertical), the chathead will stay on the vertical side.
//I just tested, even unlock the rotation, on note8, when open camera and rotate, the system still stay vertically, only function icons in camera app rotate.
2. You can open other camera apps like Instagram and rotate the phone, lag issue won't happen as the system still understand that the UI is vertical locked.
You can also see the green dot that notify the camera is using. When on stock camera app, when you rotate, the dot rotates/ changes its postion too. However, it doesn't when you use camera in Instagram or Facebook messenger.
The question is, is there anyway that we can lock the camera UI so that the phone UI will stay vertically whenever we rotate the camera?
Now, let me start by saying I have the 256 Snapdragon model, but on mine, I have no lag at all. When I rotate, the app actually does not rotate. The scene does and the icons on the screen rotate, but the app orientation actually stays the same. I do see the camera notification move as you noted.

I understand the orientation of the camera app stays the same. But all the back layer (the system UI) rotates when I rotate the phone. So it creates lag. You can see the videos below
Note8: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D_7c3gBpkiF4DIZbUD54gwsGLGUGI57U/view?usp=sharing
S22u: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DWj9tidd_xm_O3hREslqsWo64I0mF34b/view?usp=sharing
S22u Instagram: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x9jG5sNavpCXWDt4P6QzwqryFA1qJ3c0/view?usp=sharing
You can see on note8's video, when I rotate, the chat head still on the same position (vertical orientation) and no lag. But on s22u, when I rotate, the chathead (and notification bar) changes its position. You can also notice the lag when my cat ran down the stair at few last seconds of the video. However, on S22u instagram's camera, it works just like note8 camera's algorithm (chathead stays at the same position), so no lag.
Thus, it can imply that, on note 8 camera and s22u instagram camera, the system understands that the UI should be vertical locked when rotating the camera. However, on s22u stock camera, the system UI rotates whenever I rotates the camera.
So how can make the stock camera on S22u vertical locked or at least the whole UI vertical locked when in camera app? If we can make that happen, i think the camera lag issue on S22u will be eliminated.

OK, so when I use the camera and I rotate my phone, the UI does rotate, but there is no lag. When I make a video and change orientation the UI does not rotate and I have no lag in the video. I can upload a video that shows this. Like I said on my first post, I am on a 256 Snapdragon phone, so maybe the lack of memory is causing your issue. I have tried everything to replicate what you are talking about and cannot.

Have you tried let the chat bubble stay when using the camera?
No, I do not use chat bubbles. I have recorded video and rotated the phone and as I said, the UI does not rotate as it does in camera mode. The green indicator for the camera stays in the top right corner (essentially it is now in the top left corner) in video mode but moves to bottom right (essentually moving to the top right as it would be in portrait mode) in camera mode. Hope this makes since to you.
Also, there is no lag in the video at all as I rotate the phone while recording. The playback also has no lag in it.

Your idea about lack of ram may be true. I have no lag (or just a little) when rotate camera without chat bubble. But when the chat bubble comes up, the lag issue raises. It is samsung's (or google's) fault as when at the same situation, note8 (according to my clip) doesn't get any lag. I still think that the UI should stay vertical whenever the camera rotates to eliminate lag issue.
Bold: you can see the problem when you rotate the camera and go to camera setting. The setting UI will change from vertical to horizontal; and that implies the system UI rotates along with the camera. On note8, the camera's setting always in vertical even you rotate the camera. It is strange that camera in instagram, facebook messenger and other apps still work like note8's stock camera.
