Until yesterday, when playing games I was able to view them full screen (edge to edge) even showing over the front camera (which I was content with); however, I have updated software to CPH2305_11_A 18 and now the left hand side of the screen has a border, even if I select Auto adapt, Show front camera or Hide front camera (show app in full screen) options, the border still remains. Has anybody come across this issue and how did you solve it?

Seems that the camera app has some sort of bug, in decent light the right (espectially towards the top) side of photos are completely blurred compared to the top, bottom and left edges. its not a hardware issue but software related, I tried Google Camera which helps a bit, but the one than completely sorts out the issue is an app called Open Camera, not the most modern of UI's and maybe a bit clunky but its sorts out the blurriness completely. So, if IQ is important use this app. I'm not sure Motorolla will ever sort this out (its evident on Lollipop and Marshmallow, but not sure if its on all models, I'm using the XT1097).
Take a landscape type shot of foliage (trees/garden etc) with all 3 apps then compare.
see these examples (crops from the top right corner at 100%) the left side crop is from Open Camera and the right side from the motorola camera app.
Hi there when I try watch Netflix in full screen it shows a notch and doesn't zoom in all the way, I've tried going into full screen apps and changing it but Netflix is not there
+1
Instead of going into Full screen display, tap notch then custom. Any app you want to use the whole screen change to show notch instead of auto. I just tested Netflix and it works
I just got the ROG Phone 3.
With the Screenshot and the Screen Recorder functions, is there a way to crop the image?
On my previous phone I could screen capture a portion of the screen by drawing a square around it. It was handy to cut out an ad or unwanted part of the image.
Similarly, I could select the area of the screen that I wished to record. This again helped for the same reasons.
The ROG Phone 3 seems to only allow the whole screen to be captured or recorded (unless I'm missing something?).
I'm considering picking one of these up (refurb) and I've never had a phone with notch or with cameras in the screen area. Front camera has been in the bezel area right above the screen. It looks like the two front cameras on this device are essentially embedded into the screen. Does that mean there is less display areas for notification icons or does the device allow for two rows of notification icons + time/battery display up top?

It may seen that it would be e problem, i've owned mine for about 4 months bow and its not an issue. The notification bar is thin but still very readable. If you want to customize the notification panel further for space, you'll be able to download (GoodLock and NiceLock depending on your region) to help with that.

I took a peak at the descriptions of those apps and screen shots and can GoodLock actually modify the top notification status bar on top? I didn't think any app could control the look of that? Those apps seems to have quite a bit of overlap with built-in functions of latest Android 10 + One UI 2.x ? Still might give them a whirl.
SO I've had my S10 5G for about a week now. Right away, I tried the virtual bezel setting that basically black out the top of the screen next to the cameras. I didn't like the look. On my LG V30 the camera was in the bezel and the bezel was very thin so the screen display still appeared to take up most of the glass. With this setting on the Samsung, it's too heavy handed, blacks out a little too much height off the top of the screen so it looks odd with a very tall black bezel on top.
So far, I don't think the reduced space has caused my notification icon bar up top to get overloaded. What I ended up doing though was selecting a wallpaper that the top right corner is dark or almost black. It effectively "hides the cameras" while utilizing the full screen. Of course with apps open that aren't black on top, you see the large camera cutout but it's not really that distracting/terrible looking.
I like that Samsung got a little smarter on the S20 and has a very small single camera cutout in the middle of the screen now. Looks MUCH better. But still, it's only looks. Some may prefer having the dual front cameras, which I think is a nice trade off to having the larger camera cutout on the side instead of the a small single camera in the middle.
I had this phone for a couple of weeks and I can swear I had it on portrait mode all the time so my phone did not rotate except for two instances: when viewing youtube videos if I tilted the phone it would rotate and when viewing picture I have taken in gallery. It auto rotated only in those two cases.
Today for some reason it stopped and now I can either have it all (auto-rotation everywhere) or nowhere.
I have really not messed with any settings. Did I miss anything? How can I make it back to the way it was?
I never use the gallery so can't speak to that, but what you describe for YouTube is not normal behaviour in my experience. if I don't have auto rotation on I have to manually select landscape.
maybe do a hardware test for the accelerometer
*#0*# then select sensor.
Sensor is working nicely.
Sorry I might have been wrong. Youtube didn't act like that. it turned sideways when I fullscreened it. That should be normal behavior.
But what pertains to the gallery - it always autorotated independently of the setting because it was always set on portrait mode.
if the accelerometer works I have to ask if your hitting the right icon for screen rotation ?
it's pretty close to sync and smartview
