Prime Video app.....arghhhh - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

First day on my brand new Mate 20 X (L29) and first question: is there any way to make prime video app fit to screen the video? Left alone the max video streaming and download quality which are nothing to write home about (0.46GB/h), I would love to be able to have the video to fill the whole beautiful screen.
Thanks in advancd

Hardware notes/thoughts

Some thoughts with regards to:

and the gallery:

1) IP67 waterproof rating. Water resistance is a requirement for a smartwatch. Can't go swimming with it, unlike the Pebble. Not sure why they couldn't have made it more waterproof since you can't open it up.
2) Optical heart rate sensor - nice, but is it reliable? We'll see.
3) Battery life was estimated at 2.5x better than LG. YMMV big time on that though.
Yes an AMOLED display is a huge plus for a smartwatch. It's a shame that Google does not allow modification, because a black Google card design would increase battery life significantly more

so do you think the BestBuys slip about the TI chip means its running the Google Glass SOC?
Why does the moto 360 have a black semicircular patch on the bottom? They say that it houses the display drivers but I saw another video in which the screen was perfectly circular.

That houses the display driver and light sensor I believe.. I don't think there is a video that actually shows a functional watch with completely circular display... All I know of are the promotional ones from way back when

Lol dude that isn't a video of a functional watch. That's just circular images imposed on the image of a moto 360. Truth is all those images didn't consider the black bar at the bottom

It's for the display driver and the ambient light sensor, check the TechCrunch Moto 360 Hands-On

Show off your Watch face!

I haven't really found a watch face that I really like yet. With our AMOLED screen I have been leery of analog faces and anything that is static, like the center of the analog clock hands. I have been using Purje Black because I like the animations but haven't settled on 1 yet.
XDA is known for its awesome custom work. So if you got something you made and like it, show it off and link it. Say what you like and don't like about it.
Here is mine that I made.

This is mine made with WatchMaker. It uses tasker to control audio tracks and the heart button launches the heart rate monitor. Hope you like it. WatchMaker File attached
Opal Deux for Watchmaker:
Simple, classy colors. All of the info I want is shown on the face and is very easy to read. It's one of the first faces I picked up, and one that I keep coming back to.

DuoCircle for WatchMaker
I've made a new Watchface for WatchMaker. Looks great on the Huawei Watch and got Color-Changing-Feature to fit my cloths. You can find it for free on facerepo. You can change the time-format to AM/PM with a tap on the digital clock (and much more).
Hi, some one can find the LG watch facendo in watchmaker?

I like the watch hands on that. Would be good for Amoled screens.
For a few years I wanted to buy a Certina DS-4, and thanks to Wathmaker I now have the watchface on the Huawei watch
And it's really perfect for the AMOLED screen of the Huawei Watch. It looks sooo good.
For those who like it:

Watching FullHD films

I hv a Mi max 2 and when i watch Full HD films on it there r black bars on top and bottom of the screen. With Mi Max 3 does the black bars dissappear or they r still there but smaller? I'm thinking of upgrading but still hesitating.

Use mx player/pro and Stretch. Done. Mi max 3 and 2 now have full screen, lol.
No thank u i prefer watching films the way they were shot (natural aspect ratios). The way the film makers intend to show them. Streching films make everything look weird

Try it first before you knock it. You'll realize why. None of these phones are 16:9, so you'll never achieve this without stretching.
Tq opasha but everything looks taller/thinner at stretching to fullscreen w/ mx player.

I know, just need to get used to it. It works well if quality is good, but definitely better on mi max 3.
Actually, modern cinema films r mostly shot @ 21:9 whereas tv shows r 16:9. So d newer phones r more suitable for watching cinema films. However, i used MX Player's custom zoom feature to reduce the horizontal black bars and crop a bit on its sides. Its better than 'stretching' (looks way too weird).
Nevertheless i like 16:9 ratio screens better because i often browse + read on internet on landscape mode. I dont like mobile websites, too limited in options/features

Hmm, I must have got it confused with a different device. Mi Max 2 is wider, you're right.

The bars appearing for the OP on the Mi Max 2 must be related to the type of file he is playing because the Mi Max 2 should play the Full HD in full screen.

Amazon Prime Video: fit to screen not working?!?!?

Hi all,
am I the only one having such an issue with Amazon Prime Video app? The point is: the fit to screen button does simply nothing when pressed, the video does not stretch to fit the whole screen. With such a gorgeous big screen this is really a shame!
No Honor Note 10 under Android pie 9.0.0.186 also does this. Amazon prime video full screen toggle does nothing.

I made some more testing and I found out that some content can be stretched some other can’t. For instance: The grand tour, jack ryan, the purge (season 1) cannot be stretched. Dogman, 12 soldiers can. It seems like series cannot be stretched while movies can?!?!?

Which phone should I buy?

Hello everyone
Which phone should I buy?
1. S10 plus
2. Note9
3. P30 pro
4. Mate 20x
5. LG G8
6. LG V50
7. Any other
Plz reply with Which and Why?
Thanking in advance.
I would go for the P30 Pro or Mate 20X. The cameras are outstanding. The battery life is really good. However, if you want lots of pen functionality and added bloatware/extra functions, go with a Samsung.
Mate 20 X, good camera, big screen and battery life. If there was no Mate 20 X, i would go for the Note 10 Pro. Besides that ugly camera hole and curves, the 6.8 inch screen looks really nice on Quad HD.
Or:
The Vivo Nex 3 if you like waterfall screens? (i don't). Large 6.89 inch screen, no notch/camera hole, good camera. But yeah still only realeased in China.

OnePlus 7T Pro if you want a 6.67 inch 90Hz screen without notch and camera hole. Also Quad HD, but tiny lower than Note 10 Pro. It has also a curved screen.
Note 9. It has led notifications.

I went for the mate 20x for these reasons :
Beautiful 7.2 inch screen with no interruption aside from a tiny notch.
No useless curves.
It's smooth and fast.
Supports a normal sized pen and it has some fast tricks for notes that I love as an architect.
The cameras are good enough.
It's symmetrical design ( ocd)
The storage is way more than I ever need.
I love the IR blaster I use it daily
The speakers are phenomenal
Watching Netflix on here is so damn awesome.
Mine came with the pen and the flip case plus the one in the box which I like.
To me it was the cheapest option compared to the note 9 and the oneplus 7 pro { which both has useless curved screen)
I am a screen fanatic and tbh I love the screen on here.
You won't go wrong with the mate 20x
Goodluck

Very good positives noted in favor of the Mate 20x most of which I also agree with.
I had a OnePlus 7 pro, and by the grace of God I would have kept that device if it weren't for the overly aggressive on the verge of offensive curved edges.

Yeah I agree with you, I would have definitely went for the one plus 7 pro if it had flat screen. Flat will always be my first choice.

I would recommend mate 30 pro, i know it's not in the list, but if I want to buy new phone I will certainly buy mate 30 pro even Google issue is not 100% resolved, simply because it great phone.
I managed to get a Mate 20 Pro for £152 brand new from O2. It's a great phone with everything you could ever want and will only get better with EMUI 10. However I found the fingerprint sensor very temperamental and I rely on it for banking apps and last pass. Also I found the screen a bit on a small side although it's 6.4 inches it's noticeably much smaller than my previous Note 9 which I sold on due to average camera and battery life. However, OneUI on the Note 9 is right up there with Oxygen OS and 'stock' in my opinion. Screen size was also spot on and speakers very good.
Now I'm using the Mate 20 X and it's a great phone, amazing screen and speakers and good battery life. I do miss the faster charging of the Mate 20 Pro and the lack of waterproofing and although the screen is very good, it's not 2k. There's always pluses and minuses with any phone.
I purchased two Huawei Mate 20 x EVR L29 phones, one for myself and one for my wife. They have been great phones and very useful as we have travelled throughout Europe and the United States. I love the large screen which allows us to clearly read articles on the Internet, E books, etc., However for daily use I'm beginning to find my phone just a bit too heavy. It is often nearly hanging out of my shirt pocket and it becomes slightly uncomfortable after more than an hour of using it to read with. For that reason I have purchased as Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus which I will carry as my daily phone. I will list my Mate 20 x for sale while keeping my wife's Mate 20 x for travelling. The Note 10+ is a good phone and practical for daily use, but it doesn't come close to the big screen experience of the Mate 20 x.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Expected €2400 price point.
That's why screens are getting narrower and narrower, phablets have ceased to exist across the entire industry, and no Mate 30 X. Cut costs, then clear the way for gigantic profit margins on super high end products that have fatter screens.
My Mate 20 X (already too narrow) cost £450 (€500 / $575) including 20% tax ...
