[Q] Has pinch to zoom changed in Froyo 2.2? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Before I updated to froyo 2.2, I could have sworn that I was able to pinch to zoom at a larger view. Once it was at a large view I was able to double tap my screen then all of the text would fit on my screen at that large view.
Now when I double tap it, it either zooms a bit or goes back to normal size. Anyone else face this?
Thx in advance

I find the same issue. I think the issue is that im not doing it properly to autofit the words... It would be nice to have a tutorial for all the gestures in android...

How to zoom in/out with main camera?

People,
does anybody know how to zoom in or out with the main camera on the back?
If I want to take a picture and press the center key in the navigation pad, the auto-focus is used, and the picture is taken immediately after that. I tried all of the keys, but didn't manage to use the zoom-function...
I know there is a zoom-function, because there's a '1.0x' displayed in the left side of my screen...

You tap where you see the 1X. But you can not zoom on the highest settings. So for example if you are set to "L" or "S" definition you will be able to zoom but not if you are on 3meg.

Mike,
thanks for your promt answer!
It works just like you described. Only in 1M-mode or lower resolution, the zoom-functions is available.
Btw, instead of tapping the screen, you can also use the navigation-button up- or downwards to zoom in or out...
Saluti!
Since you say that it only works with lower resolutions, i take it it's only digital zoom (giving picture loss through interpolation and such), correct?

Speeding Up Screen Rotation

Compared to the iPhone, the Diamond's screen rotation in a browser is VERY slow....almost not worth it. Any tweaks found to speed this up to be closer to the speed of the iPhone?
I can see that part of the problem is Opera's need to relayout the entire page whenever the screen rotates or you ZOOM IN with the thumb wheel. It gets really irritating with the zooms cause you loose the content which you're zooming in on.
On a side note I just want to rant about all these auto rotating devices,
"Damn all you guys!! Don't you know that some of use would like to have landscape mode while lying in bed? So until you can make a tilt sensor that can read my mind and determine wheter or not I WANT to rotate the device, give us a MANUAL SWITCH!"

[Q] Auto text reflow

Hi
I have a rooted SGS. Amazing....
Compared to a workmate's HTC Desire. I prefer mine in every aspect except one: browser...
HTC has an auto text reflow feature while in SGS I have to double tap after a pinch zoom to fully relow.
Is there a chance to get this even through a modified apk or something???
It would be really great to have such browser...
Thanks a lot...
any idea?thanks again-....
Do you mean the "fit to screen" option in the optionscreen from the browser?

I've already ticked it.
From a general view, if i double tap I get a medium zoom correctly formatted.
If then I perform a pinch zoom, text is not reformatted (doesn't fit) until I double tap again.
In a HTC desire when you pinch zoom text is automatically reflowed without having to double tap which is much more pleasant and practical.
My SGS is stock JPY plus voodoo...

This is a development section, its not for questions.​
Sorry, forgot that...
you know about thumb rotate? might be this
Hi,
I might have a similar problem.
I noticed in the Gallery on my Note, when I'm viewing a photo, it does not rotate when I rotate the phone, unless I press the "rotate" icon below the zoom in/out buttons.
In the directory view though, it rotates as I rotate the phone.
Is this a bug?
Thanks.

How do you access gallery from landscape view in the camera?

Okay so I'm in the market for a Moto X and was messing with it at the store. Seems like a nice little package. I did run into one thing that bothered me.
When in the camera app in portrait view after taking a picture to preview the picture I just took is a simple swipe from the right side in to open the gallery. All good and dandy. Unfortunately most of the pictures I take are from the landscape orientation and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to bring up the gallery from that position without having to go back to portrait orientation. Am I doing something wrong?
It seems silly to me why they would move the buttons for settings and gallery when you rotate the phone. They should of kept the position the same no matter which way you hold it. Seems inconvenient to have to keep rotating the phone every time you want to preview your pic. As well as this phone is designed if there is no way to bring up the gallery from landscape mode I got to think they missed one there.
It works in both landscape and portrait for me, but I am running a leaked version of android 4.4. So more then likely if the current version doesn't support it 4.4 will when it is released.
you just swipe when in landscape also. i do it daily as i rarely take portrait pics. i dunno why you werent able to. you do need to swipe from the edge of the camera. not the edge of the screen. as the edge of the screen is the navbar and not the camera. hope that makes sense.
Thanks bud. I just watched a YouTube review of the phone and saw how to do it.
It is still a swipe from the right. Problem was I was doing it from the bezel and it kept pulling up some google feature. You still do it from the right only the swipe should start from just to the left of the home button. I swear I did that at the store but I must of been too close to the home button. Oh well, I still think they should of left it in the same place whether it is in portrait or landscape but I guess I'm no engineer.
I was in the tutorial mode though and in portrait it had a preview where it said settings on the left and gallery on the right. When in landscape though settings was still on the left but the gallery was NOT on the right and that threw me off.
Thanks.
Anytime. And that Google feature is Google now. If you buy android, or a new android if you currently use old android, you will want to use it. Its really cool.
