Question Poor scaling - OnePlus 10 Pro

Has anyone noticed that the sides of the screen when playing certain games is actually badly scaled, so the game is essentially playing off screen.
Only about 5mm on each side. But in certain circumstances you can miss something.
I use FHD, couple of the games I've noticed it on is Arkanoid Vs Space invaders (great game)
Sonic forces (not so Great)
Same thing on QHD.
Is this just a bug in OnePlus' new system? Or is it an Android 12 /12.1 issue?
Cheers
PS: notice the left side is missing text

I just tried to duplicate what you mentioned but was unable to replicate this. Did you by any chance change the fonts/display/installed a different font? I do recall from my OnePro 7 days when i had display font/zoom combo set too high and I was unable to use few apps with the same effect you mentioned here. Just a thought

Oooh I'm not too sure but I have only replicated what I used to have on my 8 pro, never had this issue.
Let me have a look. It's worth a punt.
I am getting old so need slightly bigger fonts

Here's my display settings for font and display.
Both at default.
DPI is also unchanged.
Tested all settings within scaling with no affect.
Also this does not affect all apps, only the two I mentioned and potentially others.. if you didn't test with them apps then it wouldn't be a valid test.
Unless you did. Then I'm stumped.

Smoothing app bar

Is it really just a limitation to the phone's hardware? We have it drawing images that are a lot more complicated in games and being pretty smooth, so why is it that this seems to be so hard on the phone?
Depending on the ROM, it has been slightly better or worse but regardless of the ROM, it always gets jittery toward the end of opening the drawer. I have my phone clocked at 528 and it doesn't appear to make really any difference. This would lead me to believe that it's an issue with the ram?
It's one of those 'little things' that's always bugged me. Makes it seem like the phone is overworked for a seemingly simple task
I think it's because of the method used the populate the immediate screen with icons as you scroll down just causes a bit of loading lag. (Maybe it's better on the Magic with more memory?)

I am talking about the opening of the drawer (edited original post to reflect that better) but yes, there is lag there as well (though less noticeable).
I guess my question to the devs would be: is there a more efficient way to do this?

Apps screen resolution

Hey everyone,
I have looked in the forums and cant find an answer to this. I rooted my daughter's christmas present nook color this weekend and it works great - thanks to everyone that made that possible.
One problem I have though is that lots of apps I install from the market dont display properly - some (like Angry Birds and Gem Miner) work great and take up the full screen. Others (like Robo Defence) show in a box with black areas either side (e.g. like watching 4:3 TV shows on a widescreen tv, however even though not all the screen is used, part of the applications are not displayed - so menus are missing and playing areas aren't visible so the games cant be used.
Since this happens in the same way to many applications it seems like it isn't the apps fault. Has anyone else seen this issue? is there a setting I can tweak? I am running 1.0.0.
Thanks a lot for any help you can give me.
Cheers,
Looks like I didn't try hard enough - found a potential fix here - will try it tonight:

Trying to get Mega Jump to work. if you find this to be a potential fix let me know how you achieved it? thanks!
I've found that some apps just won't do full screen, even with the Spare Parts fix...

Cursor Off in Apps

Hey everyone,
Anyone having issues where the cursor is slightly off from where you actually have to click? I found in a few apps and games that I have to click slightly below where I want to click to actually get it to work. This is especially problematic in games where you have to click slightly away from where you logically would. I can't tell if this is a resolution/scaling thing as I had to do some scaling in Remix OS and scaling with the monitor directly which is connected via VGA.
I think you can solve this by switching app to run in full screen mode. Just go to settings, applications, find your app.

Various phone problems (P20 Pro)

Hi all,
I did make a thread as a guest user but unfortunately I can't find it anymore so I've made an account and I'll repost/better explain the issues I've come across.
1) RAM Management
Whenever I close all active apps it says it has around 3GB of memory available, the phone comes with 6GB of memory so I'm wondering why it's only giving me 3GB available, surely the OS can't be using the other 3GB to run.
2) The camera
Right so this one comes down to the low light photography, I've upgraded to the P20 Pro from the Samsung S7 Edge. The S7 Edge did low light photography pretty damn well, and in the release conference Huawei state that the device can reach an ISO of 102400 however when in the Pro mode I can only set the slider to be 3200, yet the automatic mode takes it up to 6400. I find it very odd that an automatic setting can go higher than a manual one.
On my S7 Edge I can take a photo in an unlit room and still have it turn out reasonably well, I am expecting the P20 Pro with it's alleged high ISO to provide a better image, yet when I try this with the same settings as the S7 Edge I get a black image. I'm willing to put this down to user incompetence as I'm not a photographer... so if anyone can explain this to me then I'd be greatly appreciative.
3) Game resolutions
I copied all apps from my old phone to the P20 Pro, but half of them don't work. When the apps first launch I get the option to keep them at their native resolution or to force a fullscreen mode, no matter which option I select the menus for the games are all skewed and off screen. It renders most of my games unplayable (pun not intended). Could this be a resolution problem with the phone?
4) The Camera (again)
When taking portrait shots, the background is blurry. This is actually a pretty nice feature but sometimes I want to get a picture of me WITH something decorative on a wall behind me. I can't find a setting to turn the blur off.
5) Phone Management (the in built app)
This one is pretty straight forward to explain, IT NEVER REACHES 100%. The highest it's ever been is 96%, right now my phone is fully charged, has no apps open, is not performing any background tasks and is at 90% efficiency. I don't understand what it takes to get to 100%.
I'm sure there will be fixes for things as apps update and patches are released but if anyone could provide any assistance on the issues mentioned above then that'd be awesome.
I'll answer the following
2) Same iso settings on mine, switch to pro and change the settings
3) Either clear the data/cache or uninstall and reinstall the games from play store, remember this is a different phone and the defined settings could be wrong
4) click on the icon in bottom left (highlighted orange) to turn it off/on
Where did you get the phone from, which sim you using, which firmware you on.
Regarding the portrait question, when in portrait mode there are 3 settings above the shoot option, press the one on the left to turn bokeh off.

I've just reinstalled the apps from the Playstore, unfortunately they have the same issue still.
Thanks for clearing up the bokeh problem!
I got my phone from O2, it's an O2 SIM and the firmware is CLT-L09 8.1.0.103

yours is single sim and different firmware to mine is dual sim and firmware CLT-L29 8.1.0.102(C782)
I did miss off on the iso info that the high iso is only selected automatically by the phone when it's needed, ideally it would be good if could set the iso manually as well to the full range
Regarding 3: I could imagine its a programming issue. Depending on what method the games use to obtain information about screen sizes they could bypass options like fullscreen mode or so. This could be a problem on the phone software side that the fullscreen or native option is not overriding all access methods or the games not using the android API correctly.
I hope thet they will get us ISO 102400 and shutter speed 60 seconds for Pro Mod in updates. If you look at P20 Pro lunch day you will see that they shoot photo with 58 seconds of shutter speed. Now P20 Pro can just shoot maximum 30 seconds of shutter speed.
This thread has had a number of the containing posts cleaned from it. If you don't like a particular phone, don't post hatred for that phone or the OEM who makes it in a thread about said phone. It's really unnecessary.

Nobody said they don't like the phone? I actually quite like it. I've come to this forum because this is literally the only place where some people could have answers to some questions I have about it, whether they be a fault with the phone or my misunderstanding of the functions.
Your comment posed no benefit to any of the questions raised, you don't need to comment. It's really unnecessary.

Actually, the first person who's comment I deleted said multiple things about not liking the phone. The reason you can't see it is because, as I said in the post that you felt necessary to reply to, I have cleaned the thread of said messages.
Your reply to a moderator's post posed no benefit to the way that the forum is run and maintained, you don't need to comment. It's really unnecessary. Do it again and you'll find that you'll be reprimanded. Have a wonderful day. :victory:

Question Running Tekken Tag Tournament on AetherSX2

Just got the Razer Kishi (not bad tbh)
Been running the ps2 emulator Aether2 and for the most part it's pretty good but certain levels on Tekken Tag run at like 30-40fps.
I've tried almost all the settings I can but it's just not running at 60 or close to it.
Has anyone else been running Aether and has a config file they could share?
Dolphin I've nailed, it's running perfect besides crash bandicoot for some reason?
Running beta 2
Turned off optimisation
Changed to performance (this helps but gets a bit toasty so would prefer to avoid it)
It may work better on 12 (probably will) if anyone wants to test and let me know. Give it a whirl.
Note: you're meant to own the original (have to say that)

If sometimes the game stays on a black screen when starting, it is due to the bios region, in this article I leave you the bios compatible with AetherSX2

Thanks man appreciate it
You should transfer it (your guide) to here specific to a device, I'm sure it'd go down well, I've started working on skyline edge and vita3k, both excellent and both have unique setups per game, drivers for adreno could even need to be changed, it's a lot of work, managed to get Mario 3D + Bowser's fury running at a solid 60.
I've checked the compatibility list, it's sort of up to date.
