Found the problem, anti shake has to be turned off for this feature to work.

Screen brightness pwm

Does anybody know or can check if the S9 uses pwm to control screen brightness?

With another phone or camera point to the s9 and adjust the camera shutter to see if you see a curtain-like moving with different sizes as you change screen brightness.
Example on the S8:

There is also dedicated hardware like the Radex Lupin:

It has pwm exactly like the S8 and S8+, it's to be expected since the screens are almost identical. If you rotate the s9 while recording you should see the "curtain" rotating as well.

How to extend the screen beyond the notch?

The LG G7+ ThinQ has 19.5:9 aspect ratio and the display extends till the notch and doesn't go beyond it. Even if you use the phone in immersive mode the display doesn't fill the notch area but rather it stays like a black area. Does anyone know how to use that notch area too?

Not sure if that is possible, but sure would be great if so.
How does the iPhone X work? Do youtube videos fill the entire screen, even the space next to the notch? And how about the other Android phones with a notch?

There is a reason why the phone is with this odd aspect ratio and why would you want it to extend on it? It would literally just bug you for nothing.

But the OnePlus 6 and most phones make better use of the notch if you choose too. Sure there would be a trick.

how do you know? do you have 19.5:9 video contents?

No.. there's a blank space visible in a lot of apps.

Haven't been able to find a solution for this yet.

Just to be clear, the request here is that when you're watching videos, you want to have a little bit of the left side of the picture displayed above/below the notch, and the rest of the leftmost strip just not displayed at all? Can I ask **why**?

[Q] Equalizer???

I have no idea why we don't have a stock Equalizer? The sound of Pixel 2xl is so disappointing, lacking base and no way to tune equalizer because there is none! except in the google play app which i do not wish to use. I have tried a few external equalizer apps but all have failed to do anything.
Any suggestions guys?

Unfortunately it does not lock on to Amazon Music ... However, the global output should still work, but it will be less stable.

PIP not working on Note 10+

anyone facing issue with picture-in-picture not working on Note 10+ (international variant).. for me Google Maps PIP not working. I checked all the required settings and they are all in place, but still no luck..
any help is appreciated..

I have Samsung unlocked 10+ (snapdragon) but I'm unfamiliar with this picture in picture mode. I'll check it out if you provide a little more detail. When you say international do you mean Exynos variant?

Assuming under settings / special access / pip maps are allowed; then in maps set a route, click start and click home button. That creates pip of your route

Just tested on my Ozzie Note 10+, exynos, and works fine...
Google maps in a little window over home screen with voice directions and visible prompts...
Knew it was available but wasn't sure how to get it to work, thanks...

That function works fine on my Samsung unlocked snap dragon 10+. Tested with Google maps, Samsung video player and you tube vanced.

Thanks for the reply. I checked my settings and PIP is allowed in apps like Google Maps, Youtube etc.. but still it is not working. I am using Gesture navigation instead of button navigation. On my Maps app, I set a route and Clicked on Start and then i navigate to home screen but it doesn't show PIP mode.
By the way , previously I was using S10+ and it was working absolutely fine but with my recently purchased Note10+ it does not work.

Apart from system settings (special access), do i need to check/config anything in these apps?

If you use buttons instead of gesture does it work?

Not for me, everything is working straight out of the box.

You have to enable it. In permissions.

Finally, it started working (i am not sure how but honestly i did not change anything)
Anyways.. closing this thread now.
Thanks everyone for your guidance..
