[Touch HD General] Eraser85:
Hi all,

wonder why nobody noticed this but.. have you ever tried to take a shot with the camera and then open it with your PC? The resolution is 1552x2592 (or the other way around in case of landscape shots) which is exactly 4.02Mpixel instead of 5.0

what do you think?
[Touch HD General] eddyther:
Maybe you didn't take the photo at the maximum resolution, because mine has 2592X1944 = 5038848 = 5 Mpíxels !!!
[Touch HD General] Bathyon:
Try to change between widescreen photo and standard size. One of them is 4 MP and the other is 5 MP. I don't own a HD but I think I red it somewhere.
[Touch HD General] jamief00:
I think you are taking photos in widescreen :)
[Touch HD General] Eraser85:
ehm.. yes jamief00.. I was taking photos in widescreen mode.. but I didn't tought that it would simply "cut" the exceeding pixels :| too bad.. well.. thank you :P
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
This has been covered in other threads!!!

This seams to be a common thing with cameras in general, I have a HD camcorder which obviously records video in widescreen. When it comes to taking stills the 4:3 pictures are higher resolution that the 16:9 pictures. It appears that the CMOS sensors are 4:3 and are clipped to give 16:9 rather than the other way round.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] new_onn_user:
Hi, I just bought the 7 inch onn tablet (2022 model). I found that the pixels are not in a perfect square shape. Despite the screen resolution being 1024x600, the physical screen window is actually more like 16:9. This screen looks like one of those used in the portable dvd players back in the day, which is the same 1024x600 resolution but maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio. This means each pixel is actually a rectangle shape instead of a square shape. In other words, everything on the screen is actually slimmer than it should be:

Even the official picture/render on Walmart's website looks squashed, just look at the icons:

View attachment 5693855

Now if you don't see anything wrong and/or think I'm crazy, here is a Google image search for a circle shape, note that all circles look squashed, like an oval:

View attachment 5693841

View attachment 5693843

So I tried to change the screen resolution to 1024x576, to trick the system to think this is the resolution and then it would be a proper match for the 16:9 aspect ratio. I used "adb shell wm size" for this. However, after I made the change I found there are black bars on both sides, so basically it only uses 576 pixels instead of 600 pixels, leaving the unused area black, which is not what I wanted:

View attachment 5693849

Then I tried different 16:9 aspect ratios, such as 1280x720, 1366x768 and 1920x1080, and also different densities from 80 to 480. They all have the same black bars on both sides, I also tried the scaling option, but both "auto" and "off" gave me the same result. It seems like the system is stick to the scaling and not willing to stretch the image. I then found the "faded-area" option which should be the "overscan" equivalent for older Androids. But this option does not work at all. Even if I set it to some numbers, it still shows "none" and won't take any effect:

View attachment 5693851

So now I'm stuck here. I wonder if there are ways to change the screen resolution and at the same time stretch the image to full screen. The current/default settings (1024x600) is not looking right, as everything is squashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all!

My dad has delted photos on his phone and now wants to get them back but I wasnt able to restore it from the trash as there were no photos there. I also wasnt able to find the OEM Unlocking to root the phone to attempt a recovery as the phone is a Canada based snapdragon model. Is there still anyways to try to recover these photos?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SigmundDroid:
On a normal computer I would use PhotoRec/TestDisk:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoRec

That helped me already to recover many things from "broken" drives, sometimes I couldn't recover the names, only contents, but hey! It's free and I did get the pictures (that is what people usually worry about).

Seems like you could try it even with android... but only with USB debugging enabled:

https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Pho...data_from_my_phone.2Fdisk.2Fusb_key.2F..._.3F

I'd guess there must be a ton of other tools, including apps...

Tried to find the thread where a member here used a data recovery service and was able to recover their data in the last few months. Can't find it. It's cost ranged from a couple hundred to over a thousand for a rush job. They were successful. He mentioned the company's name I believe.

Finding a reputable data recovery specialist is your best bet if the data is critical and must be recovered. They have many tools and techniques at their disposal. Not knowing exactly what to do can lose the data forever.

Most of the time it should be in that menu, definitely is on my euro version.

But could also be the sim you have in there.

The app "5g switch" should be able to help as you can choose the network modes from that app.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Amer28:
Hello!

Can someone please help me with this?

Everything was fine until 2-3 days ago. When all of a sudden I was unable to send text messages or make phone calls. All the while I could access internet without any issues.

If I switch to 2G or EDGE for the Subnetwork, I can make calls and send SMS.

How can I fix this?

Could dropping the phone have caused this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Dropping could certainly break something, of course, but let's assume that's not it.

What carrier? Is the phone officially supported by them (ie, IMEI matches the carrier)? Are you on their official ROM? Does/did your VOLTE work (before and after the "few days ago")?

Some carriers are switching over to VOLTE-only setups, so they may be testing that to see what works/doesn't before they make it final. In other words, maybe your phone is not "officially" supported by VOLTE on the carrier, which is why it's failing? Without VOLTE, I think text may fail as well (even if you're not actively on a call?)

That would be my first guess. In my case, for example, I was on a US998 phone (per IMEI) running VS996 on Verizon. Since the IMEI didn't match a VZ phone, they refused to say it was compatible (even though it worked fine for many years). The IMEI stuff is a bunch of BS, but that's a whole separate topic... but I wonder if this is what you're running into. It's the carrier's way to force you into "their" device, even though it's not any different from any other variant (when the proper ROM is installed).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Carrier texts should theoretically still work as they are "data". It's the "voice" part of VoLTE that won't work. That's why I can still receive carrier texts on my Galaxy Note 9 with AT&T -- which still has older firmware (so I can be rooted). A few months ago, I lost the ability to make/receive phone calls on my AT&T number when 3G towers were decommissioned in my area... But luckily I have Google Voice number, which also uses "data" (VoIP) so I make/receive all my Google Voice phone calls. (That's been my main phone number for years.)

However, I no longer can make/receive AT&T phone number calls -- which is fine. I switched Google Voice settings to data/Wi-Fi only instead of piggy backing on carrier phone number. Yet, I still receive AT&T texts, which is good because my bank insists on using a "real" (carrier) phone number for SMS security code confirmation.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You are in Portland? What carrier are you using that still has 2G and Edge?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Amer28:
I'm with a company that uses T-Mobile towers. I connect just fine with 4G LTE, and get reasonably good speeds over it. But when I'm on 4G, I cannot make or receive calls or text. It says Emergency Calls Only.

So far, I've tried everything. I resettled network. I looked for different APN values that may fix the issue. When I couldn't think of anything else, I did a factory reset. (I mean, I wiped Data, and all other partitions in TWRP except for System and SD Card.) There have been no changes.

I'm starting to think the issue may be hardware, I did drop the phone a couple of times the day it stopped working. Though I usually end up dropping the phone once a day or every two days. I can't believe the screen hasn't cracked yet, at all. Could a drop from 3-4 feet on hard surface like tiles damage the antenna in such a way that only 4G data works?

I'm ready to give up and buy a new phone even though I can't really afford it. It would be awesome if I can get this to work.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Amer28:
I'm on T-Mobile towers with the US998. I don't think there is an issue with IMEI. How would I connect to data with 4G if that was the case?

I never had Volte on this phone. I do recall seeing it when I first got it but I'm running stock rooted Android 9.

When I say it used to work a few days ago, I mean it just stopped working at one point. I wanted to make a phone call, and all of a sudden, I couldn't. I noticed then that it says Emergency Only sign, so I walked around the house for about 15 mins to try to get signal. Then I went to my car and drove around, but nothing.

I messed around with Network settings, and figured out that Voice and TXT worked when I switch to a lower 'Sub-Network' setting that says, "GSM / GSPR / EDGE Only".

To get 4G Data back, I have to switch it back to "LTE/Legacy 3GPP multi"

These two are found under "GSM/UMTS Settings", after clicking on "System Select" in "Mobile Networks ".
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Amer28:
I want to also mention that my carrier website has been talking about a data migration that would affect phones using their old SIM Card.

When I saw that, I called them and had them send me a new SIM. I thought surely this must be it, but the new SIM works exactly like the old one.

Perhaps the migration or whatever it is they did that required new SIM cards just doesn't work well with my phone? Even though, before putting the order in, the rep I spoke to did check my IMEI and said that my phone is compatible.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Agreed, it doesn't sound like an IMEI issue.

FWIW, I showed a 4G connection on a phone (I don't remember if it was my V30 or a Galaxy S10+ that I was going to replace it with). On that phone, at one point, but there was no actual connection. So, the indicators aren't always accurate. That's why I thought maybe the data isn't really working, and if data isn't working then VOLTE won't work... and with many of the carriers switching off non-VOLTE calling, that could kill the ability to make calls?

In your case, you said data worked... but if VOLTE was never enabled, and the carrier dropped non-VOLTE, then, again, you may lose calling.

In any case, these were my theories. I think you're on top of the situation but I don't have any other ideas for you to try...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Osprey00:
Instead of buying a new phone, have you considered installing and setting up Google Voice, as ChazzMatt said? I recently had to do that because AT&T's 3G shutdown meant that I could no longer place or receive calls. My quick guide on doing that is here: https://xdaforums.com/t/all-u-s-v30...-based-custom-roms-when.4138223/post-87342453

I don't know why you can't also send or receive texts, but the Google Voice app has the ability to do that, so maybe try using that after you've set it up.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
There's been reports T-Mobile which is now merged with Sprint has borked the ability for VoLTE/VoWiFi calling on US998 firmware phones (native or Frankenstein'ed). Apparently they only allow it now on T-Mobile H932, whereas pre merger they were happy to give VoLTE and voWi-Fi calling to "US998" phones

First, it was reported with new SIM cards they were distributing earlier this year. Then people who kept their old SIM cards found they didn't work after a forced "security update."

This seems to have also trickled down to the T-Mobile MVNOs.

This is why we told someone else recently they should probably convert their phone from US998 on T-Mobile to Verizon VS996 firmware.

Then get a Verizon sim card or Verizon MVNO SIM card, and activate it in an old cracked screen Verizon phone off eBay, then put that already-activated SIM card into their "VS996" V30.

They will have VoLTE and VoWi-Fi calling.

Alternatively, if you really want to stick with T-Mobile network, you can do what @osprey00 suggested -- which is get a Google Voice number and use it as a tool to forward your carrier calls to it.

You can read his post, see his experiences, and see if this would apply to you.

For ME -- I've been using Google Voice for the past 10 years as my main phone number. I ported my carrier phone number at the time to Google Voice. Then got throwaway carrier numbers (whoever had cheapest plan) but never gave those to my friends. To my friends nothing ever changed. I've had the same "number" for the past two decades.

But within the past couple years, I had to start giving my bank and my cable company my carrier phone number for SMS security codes. Very annoying, because in the past they used my Google Voice number to text me with no problem.

So, even though under my current firmware (on my rooted Note 9) I cannot get carrier phone calls, I still have LTE data. And with the LTE data, I can use Google Voice (calls and texts) because it's VoIP. I also get AT&t carrier texts, as that is also data. It's just AT&T phone calls I cannot send or receive.

AT&T deactivated the SIM card in my native US998 V30+ and sent me a replacement phone, which is a Samsung Note 9. I'm staying with AT&T for a reason. Otherwise I would probably pull the "V30" Verizon trick also.

I bought both my wife and my elderly mother 64GB V35 phones -- which is basically an upgraded 64GB V30. (They previously had native US998 V30.) AT&T gives V35 VoLTE and WiFi calling, and for them there was nothing new to learn.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Amer28:
I think it was a hardware problem, honestly.

No matter what I did, I even tried different ROM to ensure I didn't mess around with root settings and somehow enabled or disabled something that I should not have. I tried flashing stock radios, and no, nothing would fix it.

I took my brothers phone to see if the SIM card would work with his phone, an unlocked Google FI phone. As soon as I installed the SIM, and booted up the phone, I could tell it was working perfectly even on the lock screen. Right away the status showed the name of the wireless company, and active 5G data icon on the status.

I must have damaged the internal radio or the LTE data modem when I dropped the phone last. The screen of the phone never broke even though I dropped the phone countless times, though the back glass has cracked lines all over even if the surface is still smooth and the phone continued being waterproof (I tested).

Anyway, I have since bought a new phone and the Data/Text/Talk all work perfectly on it.

I'm not sure what I'll do with this phone, as selling it wouldn't be ethical. And I doubt anyone would buy a phone with the warning that service may not work.

Ah well, I may just keep and use it as a test device.

Thanks to all who tried to help.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] the_ape:
Not a lot you can do, making something that's 16:9 sit nicely on a 4:3 display has never been pretty, but if you enable flex panel mode on Netflix, and only use the top half of the display it fills that.

Other than that just ignore the black unused areas, still getting a decent size playback area after all, and oled, so black uses no energy...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] skrowl:
Run Netflix in pop-up mode, make it fill the width of your screen and adjust the height to fit the image, then use the rest of your screen for another app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cpufrost:
You really can't without making things worse IMHO.

It's like owning a 4:3 TV and using a pan/scan simulator so the screen is filled.

You just cut off too much!

You get used to the bars, I still prefer this format for everything else!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] mentalpositivity:
thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] rafafischer:
To me, this could be simple to solve if the zoom/pinch have 2 or more levels because the single zoom level avalizable is just too much and results in a heavily cropped imagem, but, with intermediate zoom levels, one can control how much screen space is used to content and who much image is cropped out...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] xT29c:
I've been watching all of my locally stored media files on an app called SVplayer. It has an option called "black bars outer lighting". This will fill in the black bars of your display, if the video does not match the aspect ratio of your device . This effect is most commonly used on social media and vertically shot videos that are shown on news broadcasts. I then zoom into the video about 25 to 30%. which makes the top and bottom lighting bars less apparent. In my opinion, this is the best compromise and is honestly the only reason why I ended up buying a Galaxy Fold 4. I couldn't enjoy videos with such prominent black bars on everything I watch.
