As we all know this phone has an aspect ratio of 2.22:1 and we can't watch in this full resolution because most videos and ganes are in 16:9 ratio and some in 2:1 which leaves some black bars on the ends. What I would like to ask is if there is anyway we could fully utilise the display and watch or play in the entire screen resolution or in the 2.22:1 ratio. Edit viewing ratio manually in youtube netflix etc.. and some games
Well what I do sometimes is expand it manually on my N10+.
With different aspect ratios sometimes you need to adapt. At least use a browser that keeps the end bars black. The Samsung browser is my primary vid viewer.

i dont know why but when i take photos on mimicry on my phone it seems to crop out a part of the image, it doesnt take an image that fills the whole of the desire Z screen but instead takes a picture with two black bars either side of the image.
is there a reason why this happens?
The screen resolution of Desire Z is 800x480, which is the aspect ratio of 5:3. You are probably taking pictures with aspect ratio 4:3. If you want to display a (whole) image with aspect ratio 4:3 without stretching you have to display black bars on sides.
Try to change the camera resolutions to “4MP(W)”. There are two “4MP(W)” settings, one of them has the aspect ratio of 5:3.
Slingplayer, Xfinity, MX player etc...aside from Google Play movies, I have not found a video app that uses the full 6" screen. Slingplayer and Xfinity leave what looks to me to be over 1/4" of the screen on the right side blacked out. Is this universal or an issue with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found to force full screen for video?
I am completely stock 8.1 at the moment...I don't think I should have to do something via adb like forcing immersive mode for something like being able to use my whole screen to watch video???
thanks for any and all input
I think this has to do with the apps themselves being updated to support the aspect ratio. As of now some apps support it and others dont, in time they will update.
It's likely because our screen is 1440 pixels x 2880 pixels (an 18:9 ratio). Most video conform to the regular 16:9 ratio. Because our screen is slightly wider than traditional, there are basically three options:
- Leave empty space as unused on the left/right side of the screen, which is default for most video apps that would otherwise be full screen. The video remains properly proportioned.
- Stretch the video to fill the screen. This would cause slight distortion on the video.
- Zoom the video to fill the screen. This causes you to lose a tiny bit on the top/bottom of the image, and might result in a tiny tiny bit of loss-of-clarity. But the video remains properly proportioned and unskewed. You can zoom in on YouTube videos with a pinch gesture to see this in action.
I'm sure that some more apps will likely adapt similarly to YouTube, but it may take some time.
I want to watch YouTube videos from my 18.5:9 phone on my 16:9 (non-smart) TV. When I connect the phone with a standard USB-C to HDMI adapter, it mirrors the screen on the external display, but it zooms out so that the 18.5:9 aspect ratio is preserved, with black bars on the sides (portrait) or top and bottom (landscape) filling the empty space. When I watch a video in full screen on YouTube, the screen is still mirrored in the 18.5:9 ratio. When it's in landscape, that means there are black bars on the sides on the phone's display (because 18.5 is "wider" than 16), but on the external display, it means there are black bars on ALL sides!
Is there a way to either...
Make YouTube zoom onto the video so that it actually fills the 16:9 display properly...
or...
Make the S9 (presumably S8 is the same) output its display as 16:9 natively? EDIT: to clarify, can you force it to crop down to 16:9 on the actual internal display, so that when it mirrors to the external display, they're both in 16:9?
As one possible example of this working properly, VLC will automatically go into some sort of screen-casting mode when connected via HDMI, where the phone's built-in display only shows playback controls, while the external display shows the video, properly fit to the external display with no apparent cropping or zooming. (when the source video is 16:9, at least!)
Tried using YouTube Vanced instead of the original YT app?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
Didn't work, unfortunately.
There are settings to ignore screen resolution in Vanced
Those just seem to allow the phone to output higher resolutions than the internal display is capable of; it doesn't actually change the aspect ratio of the output display...
Hello everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and when I try to screen mirroring the phone to a 16:9 tv, using a HDMI cable or through wifi using Chromecast, I have black bars on the top and on the bottom of the 16:9 screen since the screen aspect ratio of the phone is 18:5,9.
If I use the Smart View feature of phone to do screen mirroring, the app has a floating button where I can change settings of phone to customize the mirroring, including change aspect ratio of the phone screen to 16:9 to best fit on the TV screen without black bars.
See images attached. Only in Portuguese Brasil (sorry).
My phone is not rooted so I think it is possible to develop an App that changes aspect ratio of phone without root (at least on Samsung devices).
To help developing, I extracted Samsung Smart View apk of my phone to help on knowledge of the function used to change aspect ratio included in App.

Thanks.
whenever a video is played in full screen its colors are over saturated specially in youtube
if you want to try it just open youtube in chrome in desktop mode and watch a video in regular screen then press full screen within seconds the colors will become over saturated
also the color wheel effect is minimal on full screen videos .. I think it is something related to full screen videos and hdr10 screen where colors should stay natural on non hdr videos but instead it pumps the video colors
where can we inform huawei with this bug
don't understand me wrong I don't want to get rid of the over saturated colors for all .. I just want the option to turn it on and off whenever I want
